AN exchange says a GAINESVILLE AL
derman is out with novel theory de-
signed to give aid and comfort to the
temperance cause. He proposes to
grant licenses to both sellers aud dri.k-
ers. His idea is to grant a saloon
license for ten dollars !; and every man
who drinks must also obtain license
ut Gust Of ten dollars before he can
get drink Of liquor. To obtain .
drinking license man must, Of course,
have bondsmen, and they will be liable
for any damages done by hin, while in
u state Of intoxication. Why isn't it q
good plan? Men are licensed to sell
liquor, and why should We not license
men to drink it, "It's u poor rule that
won't work both ways."-Rochester
Post.
Why couldn't Mr.. Child make the
above q clause in his liquor law?

A House resolution, with long pre-
amble, fully committing the Legislature
to the theory Of full payment Of the
old railroad bonds, was indefinitely
postponed in the Senate on Friday last.
Those Of the Legislature who favor this
theory assume that the State has been
and is still being greatly injured in her
good fame and in her financial interests
by the report which is largely circulat-
ed, charging her with having repudia-
ted portion Of her indebtedness
We know Of none in either branch
of the law-making power who advocate,
OF even tolerate reputation, unless it
may be tho Hon. Sam. 3eeman, Of WI
mona county, and he does evidently for
notoriety, as he says he is wiling to
have inscribed upon his tombstone
"Here lies cussed little repudiator."
The effort to pass the resolution
mentioned was made, no doubt, with
the view Of getting such record upon
the question as will be Of service iu
compelling the votes Of members here
after in support Of some final PROPOSE
ton in harmony with the general tone
of the resolution. However readily the
House may have taken the bait thus
extended, the hopes Of the land-holders
have been temporarily dashed aside BY
the prompt refusal Of the Senate to
swallow the dose. There should be no
precipitate action in this matter. Th:re
is no need Of wordy-not to say windy
-preambles and resolutions upon this
subject. The people much prefer the
adoption of some we'll considered plan
by which the whole question can be de.
termined upon the merits and equities
Of the ca e. Two propositions-one by
Senator Rose, the other by Senator
Buell-are already before the Senate
and each has degree Of merit which
will attract the attention OF both
branches. We owe something upon
those bonds. But very few claim that
va ove the amount which they repre-
sent. They were not throw" into the
market as evidences Of Indebtedness
free from the faint Of fraud and corrup'
ton. They were widely known q.
"ganLling stocks" and were purchased
At pric: which bore the same proper
tionate value to their face that the price
Of Lottery tickle: bears to the value Of
the capital prise in the scheme. The

The WHY.

Senator Page in the 6rst week Of the session
Vas opposed u the ST. Cloud railroad bonus
bill; in tho second week OF the session no
voted Cor such bill what 80 suddenly chang
ed nj. mind, or bis vote ?-Keyi..er, Jaw. 2ssh.
The " three cent" concern on the
corner, third story, published the above,
and We must say chat it did not At all
astonish US. Why didn't it give its
readers some Of the particulars in the
case. When the bill alluded to was
first introduced, Mr.. Page opposed it,
and voted accordingly. Why did he
thus vote? Simply because ne thought
it just.
In the proceedings of the 18th ult,
We End the following:
The Committee on judiciary, to whom was
referred the bill authorizing the city of st.
Cloud to Issue bonds to aid the St. Paul / Pa
eitic Railroad Company in building their road
through that city, reported substitute, redu-
eng the amount If money to be raised for
bill.
Tho question being upon tho adoption Of the
substitute, there WAS spirited debate, partiei
pated in by Senators Coge.weli, Heard,
Wright, Buell., BilIson, Bcman, and Others.
Senator Child offered Al amendment to the
substitute. to the effect that if the bond. 10 &C.
eepted ny the railroad company. it should b
on the express condition that said company
charge no more upon said line, nor any Of ita
branches. for tho transportation Of passsngers
add freight than the maximum rates sstab.
lishsd BY the Legislature.
Senator Page voted for the amend.
ment to tho substitute, and, in the
opinion Of unprejudiced men, voted
in a manner becoming his position.
The "three cent" concern fails t
see it, however, which is natural, MS j,
has been the upholdcr Of rings and
monopolists ever since "my wife gavt
it to me-" Under such circumstances
aud the fact Of its strong opposition t.

EdueAliOu

So~os~8o
There il, At the capitol, very strong
feeling upon the question Of public edu-
cation. Few Of the members are so
completely familiar with our system or
it, workings a. t. make them competent
critics or j"dicious legislator. upon
this subject With the general work
there is, perhaps, but little di'sa,isfac.
ton. The field is so extensive that
only few have any adequate compre-
hension Of its condition. or Of the it,
he's or otherwise Of those who )abo.
in il.
The ANITA, report Of n. department
he's not yet made = public appearance,
and the charitable presumption il that
nothing in tho educational experiences
IT the last year necessitate any haste
ID bringing out that important docu-
mcnt. The Normal Schools are, just
now, subjects Of extended discussion.
The feeling prevails quite generally
that We have more Of these agencies
than the State is able to maintain; that
the expenditures for these have been
di'proporsiona'ely lsrge, As compared
with those made for the promotion Of
oshcr State interests Of equally great
importance.
This opinion is, no doubt correct,
and yet it must be said that it is correct
only upon the admitted fact that the
State is unable to advance any Of her
institutions As rapidly as her conve-
niencs aud her interests require. Too
much has not been done for education,
separately considered, but when CON-
pared with the condition Of the other
great State enterprises, together with
that Of the lesser interests which swell
or deplete the Treasury Of the State,
upon the Northumberland of which
depend the promotion aud prosperity
Of all, it must be conceded that the
Normal Schools have had the portion
Of the elder brother"
The expediency Of disseminating two
OF them-the one at Mankato and the
one At St. Cloud-has been very seri.
ously considered, and that too by
meu whose opinions upon questions Of
general business are entitled to very
considerable respect. This, however
desirable, cannot DO done. The State
is party to contract with each o.
these cities by the terms Of which she
is obliged to support a normal school
for the period Of ten years, and one. ball
that time has not elapsed in either case.
It does not matter, therefore, what the
Legislature may desire to do towards
disseminating these schools. The faith
ef the State is pledged for their m.io'
senance for the period Of time mention
ed. As a compensation for this the
State must make 'niore profitable use Of
the graduates of these schools. It j,
probable that not more than half of the
normal students have fulfilled the obi.
cations they ASHAMED upon entering the
schools, and the So, vices Of those who
have are rendered nearly valueless by
the circumstances attending their en-
ployment. The law should be 80 amend
Cd as to give the Normal Board the
right to control the pupils who issue FROM
the Normal classes until the expiration
Of the time during which they agree te
teach. Then the State may expect te
realize some adequate return from thu
investu,ent which she has made il
schools for the exclusive purpose o.
training teachers.

the ground that those
laws regulating the rates Of freight and

been enacted subsequently to the grant

Senator Page and others urged that
an enactment having the ordinary forms

as upon an individual, and
that obedience to it should be enforced
as in cases Of persons offending against

for success in their attempt to coerce
the State into compliance with their
