DEAR SIR Il observe in your last
issue an account, copied from a n. Y.
journal, Of a fatal case Of poisoning
resulting from the accidental admins
tering Of OxaIic. Acid, more commonly
known as Salts Of Lemon. Accidents
Of a similar character are Of only too
frequent occurrence and it cannot be
too widely known that the antidote
which would have saved many vaIua-
bic lives is always at hand in almost
every house 1t is simply lime in at
most any shape Except q@ich or caustic
lime Chalk, plaster scra?cd from a
plastered wall, even old mortar, if
nothing else is available, ground uq TO
a powder and stirred through water
should be administered Us soon as pos
sible after the poison has been swal-
lowed quantity is not important as
there IS no danger of giving too much.
while there may be great danger of
giving too little

Woman,s SuGfFage-Letter from Our
winona Co. Correspondent.
Editor of the Anti Monopolist:
The distinguished defendant has spo.
ken. We have listened to a re.examina-
ton of Solomon. but no light has been
thrown upon the subject Of Woman SUI
frage.
Mr.. Keegan is a wit, and apparently
conversant with literature and history,
and therefore should be a powerful oppo-
nent, but so far he has not favored us
with an argument of any kind.
All this raillery has been we'll enough,
but let us now lay personalities aside and
proceed to discuss our subject thought
fully as we should.
The lives and actions of the leaders Of
the cause will bear inspection and COM
pare favorably with those Of the leaders
Of any other popular movement: DIS
trust is often thrown upon the labors OF
many wise and good persons because OF
the misdeeds of those who advocate the
same ideas; there are always some ready
to push themselves forward to gain sci.
fish ends, regardless of what cause or
whom they may thereby ~injure; but
this is a question of principles, not Of
persons, and though men may change,
principles never do.
We ask, are not the women OF Mime
sofa morally, mentally and physically
~caparle of discharglng the duties and en-
loving the privileges Of citizenship! This
question, lin a limited FORM, is to come be-
fore the voters Of the State at the next
general election; therefore let US have
all the light which may be thrown upon
it. l deem its discussion timely, and
trust it may re suit in good.
Certain as we now are Of being right,
land we are certain of it), still we are open
to the conviction Of sound and logical
reasoning.
In writing this l am not actuated by
any "Woman's Rights Convention:
(which you correspondent looks on witt
such disdain), but by a desire to serve my
sister women who think as / do, bat keel

Editor Anti Monopolist:
Oeur views as to the course Of Il
what market have b cen fully realized;
cash No. 2 wheat sold at "a 3.4c. in our
market to-day, and 80 Ia in Chicago.
The sensational reports of late seeding,
winter-killed wheat, chinchbugs and
grasshoppers have been exploded, one
after another, and holders have reluc-
taptly been forced to recognize the fact
that legitimate demand must regulate
values.
Copious rains throughout the North.
western and Middle States have dispelled
all anxiety as to the growing crops, and
it is no exaggeration to say that the pros
poets for abundant yields in the North
west have neuer been brighter. Favera-
BILE reports continue to arrive from the
Continent and, as q consequence, lower
prices. We note an average decline Of
one shilling in English and French mar
kets. There has been q good speculative
demand from short sellers during the last
few duys, and most Of the sales for future
! delivery are now covered. There is, how.
ever, still nearly 100000 bushels in
| store here and in Chicago, and as some
body is ''long" that much without any
body being "short," the question arises
who will buy this large amount and ship
It. and at what prices! OCEAN irelghts
have advanced I'd. during the week. and
with large arrivals at seaports a further
advance in freights is to be expected.
At current rates No. 2 spring is worth
about 9Oc. here, but in order to sell te
arrive in Liverpool, concessions must be
made, as lower prices are expected, un'
less crop prospects should completely
change. Farmers deliveries have beer
liberal, and our receipts show agradua
increase, Notwithstanding that the rapp
decline has checked them somewhat, Du
with a steady market our receipts VII
increase still further. At the decline "
note a better legitimate shipping demand
mostly for No. /, and now that we hav

Editor Anti Monopolist:
DEAR S1R:-In your issue OF APrli ~
there is considerable said about the NOT
NAL schools, also our common schoois.
The question is asked why are such a
i.rce number of children and youths
kept out Of school. ~
Now I, for one, am glad to see TINS
question of common or free SCHOOLS agl-
tated. and would like to give my views OF
common schools; and if they are worth
ANYTHING would be glad to let the ANTI
MoNopoL1sr's readers have them.
What is the common school to-day u
a monopoly! If it wa not we might
find more pupils in the schools; we might
also find a better educated people.
Now if n Of your readers were ever
in the army. land l suppose q great many
of them wcrc.) they all know now 'ney
felt towards an officer who was their su-
perior in rank, but their Inferior IN intel
iigence and discipline. Just SO to-day
With the majority of the common school
teachers. The people who pay Tor the
aunport of all the common schools nave
nothing to say in regard to the teachers:
As'said in your issue OF the 29th OF
April:-many Of the districts are poor
and in debt, and consequently must look
for cheap teachers. There are but few
districts. especially in the western coun-
ties. where good teachers could not be
found, who would work very chcaply;
but from some cause, perhaps because
they could not readily answer a lew
technical questions, they fail to get the
requisite certificate from the County
SUPERINTENDENT. Now should this
dehar them from the right OF teaching
and thus compel the people to hire those
the Superintendent says are capable, re-
rardless of discipline, if they can read hu'
entity. write we'll and answer certain
questions! think not and this is ont
reason WHY 1892, or at least q larg'
mart of that number, are kept ont o
school.
One more point and I am done. 1t !
we'll established custem among loaier
and non-to x-payers to be at each annua
school meeting, ready to vote any sur
on the property of those who pay take
for the purpose Of extra schools, then whe
there is q school if they have any childre
viii keep them at home three-fourths {
the time, if not all, with no excuse oni
for company, or to do some little chor
that could be done just as we'll wlthot
them. Now if we had a common scho'
law that would allow the freeholders
voters to choose their own teachers. an
then permitted them to collect o fine fro,
the parents or guardians Of every Chi
