White Olotui has nothing fit to be' called a school borne, tfxso.se it woold require a tax to build . oesl Tha citizens want to wait until ' ftSro are more people and more capital ' here to help pay tbe expense; and in so dding, they disconrage the dais of people r who wonld be tbe roost vslasble from coming bere. Bat the most disgracefnl part of it.was tha manner jn which tbe bonds wars de- feated. Tbe saloons were all in fall UcX against the school honse, sod almost the entire membership of tbe cborches were bsndin bsnd with Ibem. We are not surprised tbst tbe saloons opposed a school-bonse, for the more we hsve of them the less will wliitbey dens be pat ronized. Bat we are both surprised and erjrry to know that zealons chorcb mem bers, and friends of temperance and law, worked for the same object, when their effort should have been exerted io the op . posite direction. Saloons thst are now , under license granted in violation of law, were kept open on an election day, in .gross violation of a distinct provision of law, and men were openly taken ioto - - tbenn, treated to liquor, and led to the polls to vote agsinst a school- bouscl We c -never expected to write snch a thing of White Cloud bat it is the truth, and most be told. . -It was charged, too, thst tbe school Directors wanted to steil a portion of the money asked for! Tbe members of the Board have hitherto passed in the com- annuity for honest men. They have been giving their best efforts, without psy, to keeping np as seapectable a school as cir cumstances would admit of. Tbey bsve been compelled to procure the U6e of a room for a portion of tbe school, that was actually dangerous lo the health of tbe children, and to which many who voted against tbe bonds refused to send their children. Yet, when these Directors naked for means to build a good bonte, 'tbey were refused, and told they wanted to. steal the money! The District Tresi nrer is required te give seffioieat bonds for tbe faithful discharge of his duties; and when an additional amount of money ia to pass into bis hands, be is required to give additional bonds. Besides, the annual school election would have ocsur Ted before tbe bonds could hsve been issued; and if Ibe present Directors were .not deemed trustworthy, men could bave been chosen who were so. . We have men in our community, who Ibave bstn sending their children away to school, because we hal no school here fit to send them to, and have paid for tbeir 'schooling, in one year, as mucb as tbeir lax on the bonds would beve been in three years. Yet'wben an oppertunity offered to secure a school that would meet their wants, and would bring pu "pils bere, instead of driving them away, .they voted and worked sgainsl it. It was also pictured to Ibe people, bow men of capital would be driven from town by .voting such a tax npon them. Capital lists who loan tbeir thousands at nsu- 'rlous interest, and return to the assessor, ft , - - under ostb, for taxation, fewer hundreds -of dollar than tbey have thousands, would be driven out by the heavy taxes! Heaven save the mark! ' We bava contended, and still do con. .tend, tbat a less amount than waa. asked for, will not build, finish and fcrnisb snch a boose as we need and ought io 'bava all talk about exorbitant sums and high taxes tothe contrary notwithstanding. The boo Js may be defeated, but the facta rttnaiu the ssme.

When their own stores were onite ex bsusted, tbe Prussian soldiers shared tbeir rations with them, and in ra-tny esses tbey bad nothing whatever besides to depend upon.

Twenty thousand shells tell in town, and there was hardly a bouse but wasstiurk. Strange to ssy, but one inhabitant was killed. The fortress is of immense strength, and every precaution was taken to render it impregnable. Thoosands of beautiful trees were cut down that they might not interfere with the range of the gons, yet toe lorliucations have hardly been touched; they are as strong as 'they ever were. Tbe Prussian shells went right over them, and by tlu devaatation they wrought in the town compelled tbe commandant to yield. The Chicsgo Tribune discusses the alarm which is felt at the andden tri umph of Germany. It says: "It is Q significant fact when England stands appalled at tbe unfurling of tbe "black flag of conquest." Surely the nation which hss born that flag farther and more ruihlesaly tbsn even the Roman Empire itself, and whirb has never al lowed it to be fnrled in a very largo part ol tier dominions, stand in no good light to rebuke Germany for having ended a war of self defeoca by annetiog provinces which she claims as necessary to her fu ture defeace and security.,.
