TIXE KKDISTKICTl?tG QUESTION..
Editor Tim ChronicCk:
This is a question that should be woll
looked into before action in taken there
on. Our county is in bad enough con
dition already without saddling any un
necessary expense upon the tai-payers,
and we are of the opinion that if the
county ia rcdistricted we will be in a
worse condition than we ere now.
I would like to know if the county
could be laid off in districts three miles
square if a house could be put at or near
the center without it -b&ng in tae lieart
of. some farm, and probably on a farm
that the owner would not sell? As we
understand the law, it takes three par
ties concerned to constitute a land trade,
and there is no law to compel a man to
Bell his land, especially in the heart of
his farm. And should tlie county be
redistricted, we are of the opinion that
wo would practically be without schools
probably for two years and at the same
time our taxes would be a great deal
higher. Such a change can not bo done
in a short time, nor can it be done for a
tew aouars, and an argument tathe con
trary is railly for tlie purpose of mis
leading the tax-payers of the county.
lins is a matter of thought and not of
words, and we hope it will be thorough
ly investigated by our people. " We find
that a majority of the tax-payers, espe
cially land-holders, are opposed to it.
borne seem to think that it would give
us a live months school. That would
only make bad. matters worse, bocause
in amajority of cases the children do not
attend a three months school half the
time. If we had a ten month's school it
fyould be just the same the teacher
would have the melancholy duty of pre
siding over rows of empty desks.
The trouble is all with our sysfcem of
public schools. If the county ia to be
redistricted, we would certainly need a
compulsory school law. Then and not
until then will we have better educated
pien and women and thorougly trained
children.
We are for the upbuilding of schools
and the advancement of the educational
interests of our people, and we want to
see Benton County in the front ranks.
We are of the opinion that there is a
better and a cheaper way to get rid of
Bome ol tue nouses and rebuild better
ones than to survey the county. If it is
not the intention to put the houses in the
center of the districts, why survey the
county ? Why not appoint a committee
to eelect the site for ach house and the
county can purchase the land and build
or remove the present houses to the sites
selected. Can any one suggest abetter
or a more economical plan ?

and, of course, want a Democratic newspaper.
The Chicago Dispatch Is the great Democratic
weekly newspaper of the country. It advocates
the readoption of the Chicago platform and the
renominaiion 01 wuiiam Jennings isrvan.
There lias nover been a political campaign that
will equal in importance that of the one to be
fought next year. The Republican party, backed
by tlie ioney liower of this country and Europe.
is alert and aggressive. Flushed with the victo
ry of three years ago it will seek by every means
in its power to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing. They must
wage an unceasing war upon their enemies. In
no better and more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good sound Democrat ic
newspapers. The publisher of the Chicago Dis
patch will send a copy of the Chicago Dispatch
from now until January 1, 1809, for no cents. If
you are not already taking this great political
weekly, send in your subscription at once. You
should not only do this yourself, but you should
induce your friends to join you. By a little effort
you can easily raise a club of ten or tweuty sub'
scribers. An extra copy for club of ten.-
The Chicago Dispatch is endorsed by William
Jennings llryan and ot her Democratic leaders,

Tlio Great Presidential Campaign of 1900.
The policies of the great political parties are
now Deing iormea ana tne candidates discussed:
The voice of the people as recorded by ballot at
the approaching Presidential election will prob
ably decide the policy of the nation for the next
decade, avery citizen must study the great ques
tions that are to come before the people. This
can only be dona through the medium of a great
newspaper. jowistne time, tne,retore,iore?ery
voter to subscribe for the. best and most reliable
newspaper obtainable. The Semi-Weekly Kepub
lic covers the wholejicld of political news. While
it is Democratic, it publishes the news In recard
to all political parties without prejudice.
Its telegraphic and cable news service Is supe
rior to that of any other paper. Its special feat
ares are the best. In fact, it is the paper for that
large class of readers who can not afford or do
not have access to tlie daily papers,
Attention is also called to the Republic's Sun
day , Magazine. Its half-tone illustrations are
atone worth the sulsei-dption price. It Is made
up of special articles by tne bst literary talent,
embracing a variety of subjects of current inter
est. New features of absorbing interest are illus
trated and enlarged upon. For t he benefit of the
ladies the latest fashions are handsomely illus
trated. The Republic Sunday Matrazine is always
interesting to every member of tlie family.
The subscription price of the Semi-Weekly Re
public is $1.00 per year. The Republic Sunday

being offered at the very low price of Si. 50 for
one year. To secure this low rate both must be
ordered and paid for at the same time.
