New Rala by Which Nebraska School Teachers Will ba Appointed. Lincoln, Neb., May 20. "State Su pcrintendeat of Public Instruction Gowdy handed down a decision this afternoon that ia far-reaching and at the same time is Intended to take away .the "pulls" that boards of education throughout the state may possess. Ever since man can remember" in each towtt and city in Nebraska one-half of the members of each board of educa tion have stepped down and out with the coming of the 1st of July, that they might make way for their successors, who are inducted iuto office on that date. In the Past it has been the custom of ' tne ol(l boards to hire the teachers for the ensuing yesr at the last meeting, ueiurc tuc new luiuiuuin tic s.un u. Sonie Mine ago tho members of tho in coming board of education rebelled against this plan df action, alleging that the men who were about to slcp out proposed to assume a function that did not belong to them, but that did belong to th&new members, who were ready to take up the cares and duties of tffice s soon as the proper time rolled around. The matter was rceVred to Mr. (ToW dy and he held that the old bowrd had authority to hire teachers to serve I during life school year which would be iin rtffr thov tV"!ird from office.

The story has been published that Secretary Carlisle has ordered a list to be pre pared of those clerks in thd Treasury I Department who vote and of those ' who do not. This can be denied in the most unqualified terms. What I Mn Carlisle thinks on this question, ! and What the majority of the Cabinet officers believe, is that those holding i federal position's ySar in and year out ' iiVi j- k I v- Aiiit a rm tfhvt1 a A T I rt niw fail or refuse to exercise the rights of a citizen to vote constitute a class of spoilsmen compared with which the most aggi'elvB Republican or Democrat deserves praise.

Tb"y do not believe in gold or silver as a monetary !Undard.

These people, it is held, are the true I Spoilsmen, and it is toward this par- ticular body of ofh'c-holders that the , attention of a nunloof .of Cabinet officers has been and will be directed. I There is at least one man in ottie'e" here tt'ho believes that Democrats alone should ge! xh plums. Judg Lochren, Commissioner Of Pensions, ' has side-tracked the cl 1 rulings go-"-ruing the appointment of medical ,' boards; Instead of putting two Dem- ( ocrats and dne" Republican on a boarJ, as heretofore, he will now appoint ' three Democrats. He thinks LhiS will strike at the very root of the pension I evil. He is cognizant of the fact that this new depai tare will cause a stir, but he will carry out his policy with firmness. "This is one thing the Dem ocrats have committed themselves to do," he is quoted an saying, "to sift as ' far as possible the rubbish which has I been drifting into this pension cess pool. The party has committed itself to reform in this matter, and there is ho better way to make the start thaB by having only Democrats on these boards." Missionaries in C'liina. Nkw Vokk, May 20. The Presbyte rian board of foreign missions in addi ttion to cabling their missionaries in China, have sent letters advis:ng them not logo into thc interior until matters have bc.-oinc settled and to remain where they can be speedily reached. Money has also been forwarded to them for emergency use. The Methodist board has framed an appeal to thc president not to put thc Geary act in force and has tet apart May 23 as a day of prayer throughout the country that thc government may ba led to just and right action in the premises and that thc missionary inter ests in China may be tared from disas ter. Rascally Pension Agent Sentenced. j Saxta Te, N. M., May li. P. A. Marcelino, a well-known resident of j Socorro, has been sentenced to seven years imprisonment. On Monday he entered a plea of guilty to twenty seved indictments for violation of the United States pension law. Nine of these were forging indorsements on pension certificates, nine for illegally taking letters from the postofhee and opening them, and nine for receiving from pensioners more money in fees than he was entitled to under the law. He was a pension aent and was thus able to ascertain the names of men and women entitled to pensions and would make out applications and se cure the money from the government, often when those whose names were used had no knowledge thot they were entitled to pensions.
