The Collins-Holland bill providing for the election of school board members by districts opens the door to all the abuses which compelled the repeal of the old law and the establish- ment of the present sane and healthy system. In one year under the old board elected by districts $100,000 were stolen. And every season brought forth its scandal, its riot of corruption, its tale of boodle. The district system is essentially vicious. Every district is the center of wire pulling partisan deals and contractors’ in- fluence. It is condemned by every observer and practical worker in sound municipal administration. Everywhere it has failed. The tendency Is to abandon it. To go back to this antiquated mode of election is to embrace corruption and cultivate it. It can be supported only by ar- fument satisfactory to boodlers and their dupes. oS As a great constitutional lawyer, how could ex-President Harrison consistently approve violation of the constitution? — Organize for t3t.

In vain did he protest, with the energy of a young man pleading for dear, dear life and all its array of happy promise against their evidence, in vain did his fellow-prisoners support him; he and they were found ullty in common, but his fate was the errific one—of him the example was to be made, and while ‘the other men were only sentenced to transportation for life he was doomed to be hanged by the neck within 48 hours and his body given for dissection. As the judge uttered the last words of his sentence a shriek, I shall never forget— it rings through my head now and makes my nerves quiver and cringe—a womans shriek—and a young woman's, too, pierced up to the roof of the silent courthouse, and then I heard a heavy fall. The young culprit had been trembling and swaying from side to side during his sentence, a the thrilling sound he started into upri ht and perfect onerey: his hands, whic ad grasped the bar of the dock, were clapped together with a loud noise, the blood mounted to his vary forehead, his lips parted widely, and, having almost shoted out, “Moya! it’s she! I knew she'd be here!’ he suddenly made a spring to clear the back of the dock. Obviously, no im- pulse to escape dictated the action; he wanted to raise ‘Moya—his betrothed Moya —from the floor of the courthouse and — her in his arms—and that was all. Ana, doubtless, in his vigorous and thrice-nerved strength he must have succeeded in his wild attempt, but that the sleeve of one arm and the hand of the other became im- paled on the sharp tron spikes which sur- mounted the formidable barrier before him. Thus cruelly imepeded, however, he was easily secured and instantly led down, through a trapdoor in the bottom of the dock. to his “condemned cell.” continuing, till his voice was lost in the depths be- neath us. to call out, ‘‘Moya!
