AOPerrin Clothi St II Dp- The School House. ind the Our people are beginning to alt ap and notice little things. Tbey are waking up to the it? necessity of having a high school, and, as far as we know they are generally of one mind, uaraely; That the new school house should a< be a good one. When we spoke last weeR ol a $40,000 school bouse, we meunt that amount it**, should go into the building Itself. The lot. ?8t the steam beat, the sewerage, the water it a works,;ihe lights, the desks, the black boards, and other furnishing are another thing from Beli the bouse. >on xhe importance of a high school that would prepare students for the Junior Class lu the , si illfierentcolleges Is not easy o7erestlmated. By saving two years expense to go through the lower classes of college would save to pareDts, say $400 a year for each son or [gg daughter. $400 a year for two years means a , savlne to parents of $800 /or each educated 118 child. But the saving to parents wbo are able to pay for extra years at college Is the least part of tbe advantage, and the least urgent need of a high school. A majority ol parent* are not able to send even one son or 5st- fin? rtuiiphter in mlleefl?and there are eener ally about ba!f dozen girls anil boys la eacb the family. Tbe great demand for a high school Is lu bebhlf of those who chu ll'-jfTord to send lpe one son or one daughter away. jJJ Again: There is obj?ction to sending young girls aud young boys off to college, where they may be Ibrown wltb companions of whom tbty know nothing. Touug girls, especially, a< ed that cire and tedderness of their mothers, which tbey cannot get, if tbey e'e* are sent away from home. It Is needless for us to discuss the probable location of the new tcbool house. We 6 have faltb in the trussees, or others iu charge acting for the welfare of the whole people. -300 Tney will select a lot with an eye single to tbe greatest good to tbe greatest number. [ al They will not be Influenced by personal gain nor will tbey yield to demands of those who may have lots to urge upon their attention, at Tbe selection of a proper lot?one which will best serve tbe Interests of tbe people?as, if possible, more Important than the proposed bulldlDg Itself.

A respectable body of republicans, tiring 01 one man rule, and machine politics, opened negotiations with tbe democrats, to reform the rules in tbe new session of Congress. Tbey braved tne party lash and tbe certalntj> of being Ignored by the speaker if they failed, Democrats were asked to surrender nothing, but simply toaoeept the friendly aid of the 000 insargenls tc make them, the democrats, something more than mere dummies In the National Assembly.

HA It appears that this la a characteristic oi H*l democracy: to divide when a united front It Cos - needed, and to keep up the rule of nonentity 0 yoB rather than assume responsibility for doing an of something. All honor to the minority leader and those who stood by him and to bis faithful allies, Of course those democrats who voted with C. the republican machine have only their con sciences and their constituents to acoount to Tbe first is perhaps easy but before they C. have done with the latter they may find tbat they have paid dearly for a few personal ^ courtesies from tbe Speaker.

T account aa published by tbe News excites o sympathy for tbe people wb^ are now Jail and wbo tbe New* wishes to tee punish at once. 11 seems tbat Bob Belcber was charged wl shooting np a mall tw>x, an Inanimate thli worth perbap*, two dollars. Instead of waltl nntll dayllgbt the constable went In t nlgbt time to take tbe boy away for dol something wblob he onght not to have doi W. B. J. Corbln and Chris Corbln went Palmer's dwelling to serve an arfest warrai "They knocked at tbe door and were reins admittance at first, but gained acceu to i room in tome way." Tbls was In tbe nig time, about nine o'clock. The Corblns o rled nothing bnt a pistol each. There w< fonr guests in tb? Palmers bonse. Atl searcblng tbe loft and finding Bob Belcbe foot by which he was dragged ont and dr< , ped to tbe floor, a scuffle ensned at tbe dc I wben it was sought to take htm away. O I of tbe women, was shot In tbe leg. Palm , was shot tbrongb tbe band. , It Is certain tbat the woman and Palm , were shot before tbe oonatables were sh< I Tbe constables could not bave sbot aft , having received their death wounds. L seems therefore, tbat tbe oonatlbles lorolb > entered tbe dwelling bonse of Palmer In t [ nlgbt tlaae to arrest Bob Belcber for tbe orlr of "shooting np" a mall box. I Tbe News sayi-: "Shots were fired ootslde the door as t party reaobed the outside and then tbe ti i little boys ran. Tbey stopped some llti distance from tbe home ana beard two lot | Uunreports." From tbls It wonld appear tbat a constat ' sbot after tbey left tbe honse, and that t | gnn shots were tben fired. Tbe oonstabl bad no gnns. Tbe Idea of a constable sho< ' lng Into a dwelling bouse, we submit, t worse than shooting np a mall box. Tbe women reelsted tbe officers In th< ( effort to to take Bob Belcber. Cbrls' plst , wben found was empty and tbe woman ai Palmer were wounded, wblcb shows tbat: [ first began tbe shooting, and tbat tbe Pali ' era shot, as they claim, In self defease. Tbe onesided or prejudiced manner which the account of tbe killing is print | in tbe News Is QDjnst to tbe people who ha , been wronged by tbe forolble entry of tt ' bonse by tbe oonstables, one of whom it oertaln first used bis pistol in wounding 1 woman an* a man into whose bonse tb ' bad forcibly thrust themselves. ' The poorest man In all this land has perfect right to proteot himself and fc ' family in bis own oastle. These people, whom tbe News would lei us to believe were poor and uninfluenti bad a lawful right to shoot after tbe const blet bad wounded two members of tbe faml in their own bouse. Tbe oonstable, after receiving bis woan could, not bave shot Palmer and tl woman. And oonstables who are so ready, and wl so often, do darlDg deeds may expeot, soon or laur to- die with their boots on. Wbi men get a reputation for violence, it ofu occurs that other men of peacoable reput tlon are too ready for them. A brave and unostentatious officer con have waited a week or a month, If necessary 1 execute a warrant. He need not bave terro iced tbe family In tbe night time. Tt probability la, If tbe oonitable bad sent tt aocused word to surrender, tbat be woul bave come and delivered himself up.
