Then by saving the same amount 'next year, there will have to be collected only $6000 to build the $10,000 court house.

This snbject of Education leads as to think about what the Legislature lis doing and the Bell Punch, yes the Bell Punch is the first tning that presents rtself. Last week's Joubnai speaks our sentiments elactly in regard to the o lections being raisen to lit. we see in the proceedings that when the Bill was before the Senate Democrats were warned that if they adopted it their seats would hereafter be filled by Re publicans. We were surprised at this. Do the few men engaged in liquor traf fic in N. G. hold the balance of power? While we think the honorable Senator who so intimates is mistaken, at the same time if it! were so we dout think! a Legislature would be right in refusing to support measures for the relief of the people because they think by so do ing they will jeopardize their chances of re-election.

"A glass of wine said Sherdan, 'en courages the thought which is slow to come, and when it comes it deserves a glass of wine as a re war.'
