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.
