Our esteemed city contemporary wltlcli, with the Wkst Si ok, waa an unsuccessful bidder for the county printing at Dallas, want the county court to advertize for bid for Items of printing not mentioned lu the Hirst advertisuient ou the ground that the preseut low rates which are below the oo.-t of production were owed au ob- taiulug other printing, aud the county will be"charged up"for losses sustained on the bid. We do not favor any audi action by the eouuty court. Further more we favor the couuty court hot only living fully up toitscoutraet with Mr. Wath, which it did not do with tht West Hide, but also giving biui all other priutiug uot ao specified at the very highest prhwa the contractor muy have the nerve to charge. Our only regret now la that we were so cony ill deallug with the court for we find It had no conscience when It comes to ac cepting fair deallug at the bauda of a bidder. Not aloue was printing paid for, uot done by the West eJiws, or du plicated, but wheu iu the cane of the court docket double the work coulract ed for was dne,ihe court never saw til to voluntarily increase the con trail price, it ruuy be tald that It wait our look out If we did uot charge enough. True, and that la why we say to Mr, Wasb,"charge all you can" if yi.u do not, uo one w 1 II tha n k you . As Mr. Byerly intimated when the blls were opened, that the contract was let now where he wanted lt,o of couree there Is uo reaaou why all possible fu org should uot be shown the con tractor. It la better we believe that the court deal honestly wilh lis contractor Mr. Wash has two point lu bis favor, be has a democratic court, and he is close al hand to protect his Interests.

Bert Lucas, of Portland, Is visiting among his friends since Fridsy, It has often struck me that 'children would get on much better at school if parents would only cultivate the friend ship of the teacher more, and win ber continence. I am quite sure that If mothers would let the teachers see that ilicy take an Interest both lu them aud the children, too, it would stimulate the te.idiers in their efforts for the advanceuiet t of their pupils. Itslunds lo reason that If a teacher knows that the parents are cn-0enit- Ijig with her, the cfforis whlchslie put forth are more likely lo icsult In greater progt ess lieing made by the children. There is no need whatever tornuke a great friend of the teacher, but it would certainly help matter, a good deal It, say, the teacher were asked to come and lake tea at a definite time or Hiend a certain eveulug with the children and parents together, Such little matters are ' woiih thinking about, and I feel convinced that mothers who try what I huve suggested will be pleased wilh the results.

A DUTY FOK THE (0MIXIJ YEAR. Hpenlal CorriHipoiidi'nen, Among the many retlectlm s to which the advent of a n-w year gives rise, that of the relation which the In dividual lieu is to the conimunliy al large is not the least Important, Prlv- ale pi rsons, who live chiefly In a small sphere, comprising huxIntK, family, friends and sr(iiaiiilitucts, are very apt to forget that they owe any duties to a larger world. Indeed, some if lliore who are the most cm (clentlous In I heir private obligations are the least so In their public ones, and this not , from any wrong Intention, but from the habit of not coh-lderlng or recognizing them. When chsrgcd with this, they plead lack of time, or ower, or In fluence. Alreudy, I bey suy, they fall short lu (he smaller rounds of duties, which appeal to tm in, and how can they fulfill larger and more Important resionsililliles. Thev must leave them to wiser and broader minded men, who have more ability, mid perhaps, more leisure t" co e w hh them. This reason ing Is defective, heciiuse If carried out It would release us from nil duties but one, until thai one was performed per fectly, which Would never lie the case Put especially is It erroneous in a country like ours, w hen nulional pros perity Is so firmly bused on the char acter aud activities of the people There are few persons so dell, 'lent In power, r so limbed in time, that thev can not do something, It Is not the diflicriliy of doing this that Is the hindrance; it is merely thai it Is so stdilom prcs-ed home lo the conscience f the muliii tide. They are (might the duties Incident to business and family life, then obligations to friinds and neighbors; and to the poor and need ; , who may cross their path; but of the duties of studying the problems of society, of forming opinions up on dis puted questions, of votiug Intelligently for honorable aud able ofllcers, or of openly espousing causes with which they secretly sympathize, they hear but Utile and think less Yet If those things are not regarded us real obi lira- Hons, but If left to the chance cure of those who happen to fWncy them, or who would useihem to gratify 'their per- aoual ambition, what is to become of our national structure, erected on so uneven unrl eriiiidilinir u fiiiiiirlnlliui Tf un(lee(ljl(tUll(1H)j )(r()lm wh() I J eclentlously perform tlie duties of private life of whom the country l aa ituojtt need. They tbibk tbey have nothing lo otter, but Integrity and all enlly sie noble gift i.ud tbote who devote then, iu their country 'a welfare will earn their country's gratitude. Iu the coming yt-ur let us avoid lb pit tails and stumbling hha-ks met w lib ficqtiently In past years, l t ua retiietu It r the pn eepis of the golden rule aud practice ihetu In our dally life.
