REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. KOI! CONOnESSMAX-AT-LAUaE, (JALUSHA A. a row, Of SuKiucliaiiun. SAMUEL A. DAVENPORT, Of i:rio THE SCHOOL BOARD. There is no other branch of tho local government In which the people, of Shenau doali, of all classes and denominations, take as much prido as tho public schools ; there are none in tho county that nro better governed, and few that oll'cr better advant ages to the youthful student. This state of ntiairs is due, Ilia great measure, to a corps of competent instructors, who take great prido m their work, and to the faithful and ever watchful members of the School Hoard. To these two agencies, whose efforts arc ably MTondeil by our patriotic citizens, is the high btandaril of the local schools due, and it is the hopo of all that they may retain that excellence fur all time to come. This evening a banquet will be tendered the retiring superintendent, M. 1'. Whitaker, by tho school teachers of town. On that occasion politics and all diU'erencosof opinion will bo cast aside, and around tho festive board will sit Republican and Democrat, each Miiug with tho other In paying whatovor tribulo is due tho letiring superintendent, liy a change in the political complexion of the School Hoard three years ago, Mr. Whit- iker was selected to tho position ho now diminishes to his successor. His retirement i' the result of tho uncertainties of political il!ice-holdcrs, and so long as the standard of tllii ieucy is not lowered thereby there can bi no reasonable objections otlcicd. ThicO" yearn ago the Democrats secured contiol of t.ie Hoard, and they very wisely filled tho positions at their dlspo-al with thoso. of the sj.ne political faith. A change has taken place In the political i nuiplexion of tho Hoard since that time, and t ii but natural to expect that tho Kepubli- i.ius will tako advantage of their majority of three, fullowiiiK the example set by their ! tnoeratie colleagues, and 1111 tho offices i ith members from the ranks of their own party. Tho present corps of olllcors are both 'impotent and diligent Especially is this line of Secretary Treziso. We know of no t.nr member of the majority that is an ijiplicant for the place, and ho should there-lore-jx-eeivo the uudlvlded support of the I'.irty, In just recognition of tho services undcred. Tho same can be said of tho preicut Treasurer, P. V. Hiersteln. A f.iith lul servant deserves well a', the hands of his iurty associates. The Republican voters of tho town, with ;ill duo lesi.oet to whatovor personal dift'er tnees that may exist between their icpiesen tatives, not only expect but demand faith ful conservation of tho iiarty's Interests. The members of the Hoard aro servants of tho peoplo ; the majority of tho citizens have de rlaicd by their ballots that the body shall to controlled by Republicans, and if they thought otherwise they would have voted the Democratic ticket. Tho state of alliiirs existing in the Horough l uuncil fur the past two years i well known, ;nid tho juity is in no mood for a repetition of a similar course, by any member of the Hoard on tho Republican side. They aro looked to to heal whatever dissatisfaction iiiiiy exist, and wo bolievo tho Republican lnrtctors will fully sustain that confidence. Thk uiso of Mrs. Fleming, now on tiial in New York charged with murdering lie. mother to get an inheritance, is a striking one in legal history. An estate of o,0uu was to bu Mrs, Fleming's on tho death of her mother. Tho mother died suddenly last j ear. Poison was found in hor stomach. As the one who would benefit by hor death, her daughter, Mrs. Fleming, was arrested and imprisoned on the charge of murder. While :i uniting trial, she applied for the estate v liicli would have fallen to her in the natural ' muse. Her application was refused on the jinund uf the presumption that she killed her mother. Hut this decision was reversed, The reversal of the decision und tho sule- quent allotting of her estate to Mrs, 1 .emlug, eveu though she be in prison, probably fix a precedent in a case the LXaet parallel of which has uuver arisen before. Mrs. Fleming will now have the money uf her mother with which to defend herself from the uliarge of poisoning that mother In order that she might Inherit the money. If, however, it had boon proved that the woman had killed her mother, thou the cast) would have been different ami she could not liave inherited under the law.
