GOV. TBRRELL's EXPLANATION.

Gov. Terrell's explanation of his ap-
pontment of a resident of valdosta
to represent the First Congressional
District as a trustee of the State Nor
NAL School isn't satisfactory. He
says he was informed on what he
considered reliable authority that the
appointee was resident of Savannah
he relied was not good. It was not
an authority that was familiar with
Savannah and Savannah's affairs. In
making an appointment of such inn
portance to the educational interests
of the state why didn't the Governor
consult some one interested in edu-
cational matters here in Savannah or
elsewhere in the First Congressional
District? The presumption is that the
law requires a trustee to be appoint
ed from each congressional district so
that the Normal School interests of
each district shall have expression on
the board of trustees. Surely a
stranger, though he may intend to
become a resident Of the district, and
though he may have ability in other
directions, isn't qualified to voice the
wishes of the district in respect to the
Normal School. nor does his appoint
ment meet the requirements of the
law.
We assume that some one outside
of the district wanted on the board
the gentleman the Governor appoint
ed. Whether this is so or not would
be disclosed probably by a statement
from the Governor as to who the per-
son was who stated that the appolntee
was a resident of Savannah The
person couldn't have been a resident
of Savannah. His lack of knowledge
as 10 who and who are not residents
OF the city shows that Here then
we have an illegal appointment
made for the First Congressional Dis
trict with the assistance OF somebody
not a resident of the district. In other
words, the district is ignored altogeth-
er in the matter. Apparently the
First Congressional District isn't of
much Importance i'm the Governors
NHAthlaNAuAAs
And yet we venture 20 say there Is
no district in the state which has bet
ter schools and none which takes a
deeper interest in the state Normal
School. There are teachers in the dis
trict-many OF them-who are qualified
in every respect for membership on
the board OF trustees OF the state Nor
NAL school Savannah alone. so Il Is
stated. has more men among her
teachers than all the other cities OF
the state combined. These teachers
have a right 60 feel that they have
been sighted by the Governor, that
they have been told practically that
he did not think any one Of them
qualified for the position OF trustee
~ the state Normal school.
The Governor says be- wanted a
teacher from the FIRST Congressional
District on che board. That being che
case, q most natural oourae 20 pursue

GOLD BRINGS SKELETONS TO LIGHT.
From the New York Tribune.

FROM the New 1ork Tribune.
Butte, Mont, Sept. 3.-Advices from
Grants Pass, Ore. say that skulls by
the hundred are being washed out by
the hydraulic giants on the placer
property of the Gallice Consolidated
Mining Company, near there. The
company recently purchased a tract of
gravel on the bank of the Rogue riv-
er, and has just completed a ditch to
it. In prospecting the bar the miners
uncovered an old Indian burying
ground, and up to date they have
washed out at least 400 skulls and
corresponding number of bones. The
gravel was the scene of one of the
closing battles of the Rogue river war,
and the skeletons of the Indians kill
ed at that time are among the find.
The most of them, however, are much
older than those buried in the SOS and
were probably in the ground when
Lewis and Clark visited the coast. Ar
rowheads and Indian jewelry are
found in the graves. The ground is
rich in gold and the company will
work it next year. for which purpose
an elevator is now being put in place

OPENS SAFES BY INDUCTION.
from the Chicago Record Herald


Indianapolis, Sept. 2.-James Walt
sch who is well known to the police
of this city, is under arrest in Madison
county, charged with a number of safe
burglaries that greatly mystified the
officers till Waltsch to-day made a con-
fession and restored money and jewelry
taken from a half-dozen safes. The
safes were opened without being dam
aged.
Waltsch said he placed his forehead
firmly against the safe door Just above
the combination, and then, carefully
turning the knob of the lock, he could
tell by induction just when the inner
parts of the lock were yielding, the
last click having a marked electrical
effect.
Waltsch offered to bet $40 that he
could open any safe in the town, and
the officers, though refusing to bet.
asked him to try the safe in the sher-
ifs office. He knelt down in front of
the safe, pressed his forehead against
the door, turned the knob back and
forth and in a short time the door
came open.

A famous diplomat said that Ian
guage was invented for the purpose of
concealing thought The Russian Ian
guage seems to have been invented for
the purpose of snatching victory out of
defeat. No reverse suffered by their
arms is SO severe but that the Russian
generals or correspondents are able to
show that it was really a victory, and
that Gen. Kuropatkin had arranged for
things to occur precisely that way in
furtherance of his plans. If they lose
guns, there is rejoicing because drag
ging the guns would probab have in
terfered with an orderly retreat If
they lose baggage. they congratulate
themselves that there is less impede
menta to be looked after When they
were driven out of Lao Yang, which
kuropatkin referred to as his main
base" south of Mukden, it was said
the Russians had succeeded in placing
their whole army on one side of the
river while the Japanese army was half
on one side and half on the other, MAX
ing it clearly a Russian success. And
before great while we may read in
the dispatches that the Russians are
greatly rejoiced because they have got
entirely out of Manchuria and have
left the Japs with the burden and
bother of administering the affairs of
that great province. AS the Mark Tap

ined to come out jolly" no matter what

Started for California, But Halted.
The New York Press tells that about
thirty-three years ago a bright young
man, not meeting with overpowering
success in a mercantile venture in
Brooklyn, got together all his belong
ings and started for California. He
crossed the East river in safety and
managed to pass through New York
without incident. The North river
caused him no trouble, and he landed
in lower Jersey City without having
lost a thing. And he has been there
ever since, one of the most prosperous
citizens of Hudson county. His long
ing for California, however, has not
abated. 1t is his intention to go there
one of these days, to enjoy his fortune
in a climate that is neither too hot nor
too cold, but just right. In the mean
time he has reared a numerous and
beautiful progeny

The insolence of the Trust magnates
is illustrated, says the New York
Times, in d New York representatives.
story. He said:
Speaking of testimony given before
the Senate committees recalls the
shock a sugar magnate got from an
unexpected source at one of these in
quiries. Senator H. r. Burnham of
New Hampshire, a member of the com
mittee, is one of the most reticent men
in Washington, but is a graduate of
Dartmouth College and lawyer of
considerable renown. In following up
the clews of the sugar inquiry he spent
considerable time among the reporters,
taking notes and getting information.
Sometimes he would be glued to the
press tables for hours after the ses-
sions were over. This fact evidently
annoyed one of the sugar kings.
This pompous magnate came up to
the Senator. not knowing who he was,
and said: Look here! I suppose you're
one of those yellow dog reporters"
" 'Humph!' replied the Senator.
" You're worse than the others, stick
ing here and writing long after the
thing is over. Say, what are you re-
porting for"
'Humph!' grunted the Senator, go
ing right on with his notes.
"I asked what you were writing
there!'
Humphv was the only reply as the
man from New Hampshire turned one
page and wrote rapidly on another.
See here, you ill-bred yellow fell

know who's talking to you? I'll find
out who's your boss, and have you dis
missed at once. Who do you repre-
sent?
