It sounds like a band of Russian Nihilists, watched by the government police and spies and likely at any moment to be crushed under the iron heel of depotism or subjected to the merciless whim of an autocrat. Why such mummeries should be set up in the broad daylight of American enlightenment and civilization no one can say. American citizens are supposed to inform themselves in the bright light of public discussion and to vote according to the honest convictions they form, .without n r "nidsru'A from »nv secret oath-bound .circle. So it will be found they will do. The people never tail to oveuhruwu and wipe out such conspiracies as this “Band of Gideon.’ MAN " ““ u - *•-»- « at oaca. brow* Brsa C»., Nunrymta

“ WHY IS THIS IHUS?”

Two issues of the People’s Pilot have appeared since the adjournment of the Jasper County Teachers’ Institute, but still we have looked In vain in its columns for biic reocxuLiuus adopted on the last day of the Institute’s sessions. Copies of the promptly furnished to that paper, in ample time for their publication on the week following the Institute, but as beforestated, they have as yet failed to appear in its columns. This refusal to publish these' official and well considered decia- j rations of one of the most impor-; tant and intelligent bodies that assembles in the county, is all the more noteworthy from the fact that a prominent member of the committee of teachers which drafted?! the resolutions is also one of the most prominent People’s Party men in the county and is their candidate for a desirable county office. We refer to J. J. Hunt, of Gillam tp. The refusal of the Pilot to publish the resolution is a ‘ slap” at the whole Institute in general and at Mr. Hunt, and other members of the in particular. Oufe of these resolutions would • be of special interest io M the Pilot, especially such of the them as have “taken stock” in that paper’s unmeasured denunciation of the increased local taxes. Tho resolution we refer to, reads as follows: Akt. VI. Since the short ternm in the district schools cause many of our best teachers to leave the county, and-do not give the pupils sufficient school privileges. Be it Resolved-, That we urge upon the school officials the necessity of a longer term of school. Now this resolution, expressing the sober conviction of the assembled teachers of the county, a most intelligent, influential and public spirited body, distinctly expresses the opinion that school officials of the schools of the county ought to provide for longer terms of school, or, in other raise more money for school purposes by “local” taxation.

If now, in connection with this resolution, 'together with the fact that of the total increase of local taxation, namely $13,351.55, as published in both this paper and the Pilot itself, is considered the fact that of that total increase just $7,205.33, or considerably more than one half, is for school purposes, then it is very easy to understand in what estimation the Pilot’s rabid anti-tax howl is held in by the teachers, including even those of their number who beiong to the political party which the Pilot represents. The truth of the matter is, that, in spite of all the false and malignant howling of the Pilot regarding the local taxes, and the assertions that have been made privately \y members of the People’s party, there is not more than enough school money available to our school officials to give more than seven months of school, on the average, in the county this year And as for the special school fund, that also is much less than it ought to be in many townships, especially where more new school houses are badly needed than there is money to build them with. Why does not the Pilot publish the Institute’s resolutions; especially Article VII? “We pause for a reply.” Finest pictures, finest finish, and cheapest prices at the Pavilion gallery.

A PROSPEROUS SOUTH.

PLATT PLEASED.

He Is Confident of Republican Success in New York. The following letter, read at a recent meeting of New York Republicans, -shows the- unmistakable. _attitude..of. ex-„ Senator Platt and his confidence in Republican success: 49 Broadway, New York,.Sept. 1. Mr. John E. Milholland, Chairman Republican Mass Meeting, Scottish Rite Hall, Now York. My Dear Mr. Milholland—l have your kind invitation to attend your mass meeting t'his evening, and were it possible you know I would gladly accept. lam with you in spirit, however, and shall bo glad to learn that my confident expectation as to the success of the gathering will be fully realized. Indeed Ido not see how it can bo otherwise than a success with such an exceptionally attractive programme. "Senator Fasset! himself is a strong enough drawing card to fill Madison Square garden at a half hour’s notice, not to mention Mrs. Foster and’the other speakers. The time for holding the meeting is exceptionally fortunate. The prospects for the Republican success grow brighter every day and no livelier antithesis could bo desired than that which is furnished by the demoralized condition of the enemy, and the united, harmonious and aggressive front presented by our grand old party throughout this and the other states. Sincerely yours.

Salisbury Admits Failure of Free Trade.

We cannot look abroad intclhelterritories occupied by the great industries of this country without a feeling of sorrow and misgiving. I earnestly desire that such a state of labor could be established as would give to the laborer sufficient for his maintenance and comfort. * * * If you intend in this conflict of commercial treaties to hold your own you must be prepared, if need be, to inflict upon the nations which injure you the penalty which is in your hands—that of refusing them access to your markets. (Loud and prolonged cheers and a voice, “Common sense at last.”)— Lord Salisbury, May 18.

Growth of the Postal Service.

The growth of the postal service in the past three years has been something remarkable. The number of new offices added to this list from March 4, 1889, to March 4, 1893, was 10,549. The revenue in those three years increased over $40,000,000. Even in the matter of receipts from registry letters the fees increased a half million dollars. In these three years there has been over 54,000,000 miles of railroad, steamship and star service, but at lower rates than before. The increase in receipts of ths past three years was more than double the increase in the three years preceding. , j These new political movements in the states and the recent decisions of some of the state courts agaiu.t unfair apportionment laws encourage the hope that the arbitrary and partisan election laws and practices which have prevailed may bo corrected by the states, the laws made equal and nonpartisan, and the elections free and honest. The Republican party would rejoice at such a solution. —Harrison’s Letter of Acceptance.
