CREDIT TO WHoM CxED1r IL DUE
There was no matter Of legislation du
ring the late session in which St. Cloud
was 20 much interested Is the securing Of
An appropriation for the Normal School at
this place. The most strenuous efforts had
been made during tho three preceding
sessions, but had failed Of the desired e.
suit. The people are therefore dis.
posed to give great credit to those who,
this time, made the matter success, in the
face Of - great. if not greater opposition
than had to Be encountered before. TO
senator Burbank the first credit is admit
tedly due. He made the measure . spsci-
atty, and gave to it his unAaggine efforts
The vote in the Senate, q for to 3 against,
showed how successfully he had lsbored in
that branch. But the greatest opposition
VAS in tho House, and here he directed his
efforts, being most ably sustained by Capt.
Barto, the Representative from Sank Cen:
tire, who was true and stesdiast friend Of
the bin and rendered it valuable servi-
! oes. 1ts passage WAS also earnestly advo.
Gated by Ex-Governor Miller, Of Mobiles
county, Capt. H. A. Castle, Of st. Paul
and Hon. VIM. FELTON,, of the Otter Tail
District. In this list the names of Messrs.
Krebs, Pirz snd IRELAND, the other Repre-
sentatlves from his county, are of course
to be included. To all these gentlemen,
the people not only Of St. Cloud, but of oil
| Northern Minnesota, feel themselves much
indebted for the passage of the bill which
places tho st. Cloud Normal School on i,
! thoroughly substantial footing-in which
tho State il but doing it tardy justice.
