TIE NORMAL SCHOOLS.

The Little Falls Courier misrepresents
us when it says we are going to wage q
bitter war upon the Normal Schools. We
shall do nothing Of the kind. We shall
vote against the appropriations for them
that's all ; but We are not running the ma.
chine" and the people have just endorsed
the Republican party, Normal Schools
and all, by 10000 majority. Let the peo-
pie rule. Let us have peace.-Antt-Wo-
nopolist
Mr.. Donnelly has heretofore been
the bitterest and most untiring, and
we may add the ablest, opponent Of
the Normal Schools in the Legisla-
ture. With the above declaration
from him and the change Of tone in
the St. Paul Dispatch following the
last meeting Of the State Normal
Board, there i every reason to be-
ieve that the war upon these schools,
heretofore made each winter in the
Legislature, has about come to an
end. If carried on at all, it will be
persons who have just force and indu-
ence enough to make themselves an
noying without being dangerous.
As Mr.. Donnelly says, the people
have 'endorsed the Normal Schools"
The people have endorsed them be-
cause they have come to understand
better their benefits and their necessi-
ty to a thorough and successful sys-
tenn of free.school education. At
first when large expenditures were
necessary for the construction of the
buildings, an outcry raised in certain
quarters against the Extravaganza
of such appropriations caught the
popular ear, and it was possible to
create temporary antagonism to the
schools. This gathered such strength
as to at times seriously threaten to
retard if not destroy their growth
and usefulness. For some years, Of
necessity, the product Of these schools,
in the way of graduates, was limited,
and few communities felt their infu-
ence. But now the sums asked for
from the Legislature are only for
current expenses, and these have
been voluntarily reduced to the low
est possible limit. The number of
graduating classes has been multi
piled until nearly every county
has one or more of their members
teaching in some Of its towns or dis
tricts. Parents have thus been able
to see and appreciate the advantages,
of the Normal methods Of instruc-
ton and Of having teachers trained
to their business. The results are
an eager demand for these graduates
far beyond the capacity OF the Nor:
NAL Schools to satisfy and a change
of sentiment among the people which
has expressed itself in this ''ten-thous-'
endorse ment.
Mr.. Donnelly appreciates this:
change, understands its force and
and has the good sense to-
bring his aggressive warfare to a
close ard step to one side. There
will doubtless be few men in both
branches of the Legislature, with less
judgment, who will insist upon but
ting their little heads against this
stone wall, but there will be no brains

Mr.. David Pangburn, a pros
porous farmer living near Sank
Centre; went to California in the fall
to look around. He has brother
living in California for seventeen
years, and had many advantages in
seeing into all that is claimed for
that country. Mr.. Pangburn return
ed yesterday, and we heard his opin-
ion of California. He says he comes
back better satisfied with Minnesota
than ever before. He thinks farmers
who go there from Minnesota made a
great mistake, and that he can buy
land in Stearns county at ten dollars
per acre that he would not give for
California land that is held at one
hundred and fifty dollars per acre

Catholicism. "The speech expresses"

THE STATE GRANGE,

The meeting of the State Grange P.
of H., at Minneapolis last week was
we'll attended and the session was an
interesting one. Addresses were de.
livered by W. M. Adams and others,
During the year over 1900 members
have been added, raising the mem
bersh'p to $4,000, represented by 546
subordinate oranges. The report Of
the Treasurer showed a cash balance
on hand. The Grange adjourned
Friday morning, after adopting a res
olution suggesting to farmers the ad-
visibility Of selling their wheat eth.
er before navigation closes in the fall
or after it opens in the spring.

THE DEMOCRATIC-REBEL RAID ON
THE TREASURY.

Y The hot haste of the Rebels in
Congress to get their hands into the
public treasury has alarmed some Of
the cooler and shrewder ofthe North
erns Democrats, who clearly forsee that
this will alarm the country and that
the Democracy will quickly be de-
prived Of their newly.gained and bad
ly used power. The Chicago Times
feels compelled to say concerning the
character of the bills thus far intro
duoed into the Democratic lower
House of Congress-, IAN analysis
shows that of 233 bills and resolves
introduced at the opening, about two
dozen relate to matters Of general
public concern. But by far the great
er part of these 23S bills were her.
aids Of coming raids on the public
treasury. From the carpet-bag Of
every southern Confederate issued the
loud cries Of a hungry constituency.
Nearly every southern statesman was
loaded to the muzzle with bills for
claims set up by ex-rebels for injur-
les sustained in consequence of the
putting down of the pro-slavery re-
bellion. Pay for meals furnished ma;
tional soldiers pay for oats furnish
ed national cavalry pay for chick
ems con6scated: by Sherman's bum.
mers pay for rails consumed in ma
tional camp-fres; pay for every de-
scribable kind of property (niggers
for the time being excepted used or
alleged to be used by the national
troops engaged in putting down the
rebellion, was demanded in q cloud
Of bills from every quarter of jeff
Davis's patriotic and virtuous do
mains. The influx Of this large and
miscellaneous ,grist o st. rebel va war
claims onathe: first call Of the States
serves both as a-frightfdl warning Of
what is to come, and as a sweet indi-
cation Of the southern idea of the
way in which the Confederate party
is to undo the political mischief
wrought by their opponents, and re-
store to the country prosperity, hap
piness and peace ~" |

AN illustration of the farcical char
acter of the Presidents so-called
peace policy in dealing with the In
dams is afforded in the removal Of
Major Whitehead, the Agent at
Leech Lake. 1t seems that in the
general dishing out of the agencies
among the various religious denomi.
nations of the country the Leech
Lake Agency fell to the share of the
Free Will Baptists, who thereupon
removed Major Whitehead, who had
been a faithful and efficient official
and one peculiarly fitted to deal with
the turbulent and troublesome Pilla-
gers, and appointed Mr.. King, who
is wholly lacking in practical knowl-
edge of Indian character.

THE ST. PAUL P1oNEER-PREss.

Whatever may be said Of the poll
tics of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, it is
rightfully entitled 70 the credit Of be-
ing the most enterprising newspaper
west Of Chicago. Whether as re-
CARDS its local department, which,
unlike any other journal, contains the
city news and markets Of Minneapo-
lis as fully as those Of St. Paul-its
State news, which, as the representa-
tive newspaper printed at the capital,
1t takes especial pains to report-its
local and general markets, which in.
clude quotations Of every article Of
interest to the Western farmer and
merchant-its miscellaneous selec-
tions, stories, poems, and varieties, for
the family and the hearth-is agri-
cultural, farm, and household contri-
buttons, and its policy of encourage
ment to farm labor, and emigration
its complete news details and its re-
sumo of every occurrence of interest
transporting throughout the world, or
its timely, practical. and vigorous
comments upon all these occurrences
it is alike full, Ineligible, prompt
and satisfactory. The R;o.eer-R Press
is, in point Of fact, q daily reflex
Of the action and thought of the uni
verse, and as a newspaper, brings
the neighborhood occurrences of ev-
cry locality in the State, alike with
the events transpiring in every por-
ton Of the world, to the knowledge
of the reader at one and the same
time.
Of course, a newspaper which &C.
complishes so much, lis deserving of
the fullest patronage that can be ac-
corded it within; the range of its linz
tied field. Thus far in. its history, it
has been far ahead Of its. surround!
ings and Of its opportunity. To
maintain this standard: Of excellence
it should. next to his home paper, be
by every man in the State
in preference to any outside publica-:
ton, whatever its claims or preten-'
sions. It is the representative
home papers like the Pioneer:
Press that speak for the inter-
ests of Minnesota, and give the
State character abroad, and influence
the judgment Of outside parties re-
garding its intelligence and progress.
There can be no better or more con-
vincing emigration document than a
copy of the Daily or Weekly Pio-
'seer-Rress. Let. every citizen inter-
ested in the welfare of the State sub
scribe for it at once !; and as often as
he has read it, send it East to one of
his acquaintances or friends, in the
confident assurance that no other bor-
der State can boast of so excellent q
representative of the most advanced
newspaper enterprise of the day. /

PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

Plymouth church Thursday even
ing appointed a committee of seven
members to prepare letter.misive
and to take the proper steps for the
converting of an Advisory Council Of
churches and ministers, to decide if
anything in the practice, rules, or
recentaction of Plymouth Church had
been inconsistent with its relations to
the body of Congregational churches.
Mr.. Beecher made some emphatic re-
marks in connection with the resolu-
tons providing for the appointment
of this committee. "A letter in an
swer to the last communication from
Mrs. Moulton was adopted, and the
case of Mr.. West, after some discus
sion, was referred to the Examining
Committee. - = ."'&
~ At the business meeting Friday
evening the letter-missive calling for
an Advisory Council was submitted
by the committee appointed to- pre-
pare it, and adopted by the church.
MIR. Beecher made a forcible speech,
declaring that while he was not afraid
to be tried by a competent tribunal,
it was the "absurdity of imperti-
nehce" to ask a few ministers, who
would sit only three or four days, to
consider the immense mass of evil
dence in his case. He said he was
in favor Of opening again the whole
question at issue in 1874, although
he did not believe there had ever
been a man in America who had
been so much tried as he had been.
Mr.. Sherman resigned as clerk of
the church, and Thomas J. Tilney
was elected in his place -
