The Lake Superior Canal.

Messrs. Stannard and Davis, commiss.
ioncrs to survey the proposed canal route
between the st. Croix river and Lake Su-
perior, are hurrying up arrangements to
commence the survey. The first party
will be under the direction Of Mr.. Davis,
who expect to start . week from next
Monday and to be absent some two
months. He will have five assistants, and
his attention will be turned to finding
out in . general way the probable most
feasible and practical route. This com.
pleted by Mr.. Davis, Mr.. StannArd Will
follow with second party and make ,
more thorough and technical survey

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-05-20

Of the peoples movements for self.pro-
lection; the advocate Of every steal ever
sought to be perpetrated upon the State;
the paper that had. in turn, sold out
Stephen A. Douglas and defended Bill
King.
We are we'll aware that if Davis is the
candidate, much aid will be expected
from the bitter opposition Of the friends
of Mr.. Ramsey. But that must net be
overrated. It must be remembered that
last fall the Ramsey, Window and King
men fought Mark H. Dunnell fiercely, and
the St. Paul Press denounced him with
out stint; and the Press was then the party
organ; while now it is a powerless oppo-
nent, outside the party lines. What was
the result! Dunnell made the most Wig
orous canvass ever made in southern
Minnesota; he spoke in nearly every
school house in his district, while his op.
ponent, very able and honorable gen.
tleman. was silent, as Fisher would be;
and Dunnen was reelected Iby hand
some majority. Ramsey is now private
citizen, King is plunged into ''sea Of
troubles and Window is smirched
with Kings disgrace. Men do
not worship the setting sun.
And it must not be forgotten that if it
becomes known that King, Window and
Ramsey are making war on Davis, it will
give him fully as many votes as he will
lose.
We do not know that under any cir
cumstances, or with any ticket, success
is possible this fall. The Grange senti'
ment is not as strong as it was; the
Back Pay steal and the M'1lrath defalca'
ton are half forgotten already; the Lib
eral wing Of the Opposition are disheart
ened at the evident purpose to use them
and ignore them. 1t is better to tell the
truth and look the facts squarely in the
face. He is the friend Of the Opposition
who gives it honest advice; rather thar
the one who helps to send 1t whoopine
and hurrahing to destruction.
Again we say: go slowly, gentlemen
We have many able men and eloquent ad
vocates, identified during years Of strug
gle with the cause Of popular rights
Unite all the elements Of Opposition ant
select from among these your very bes
men, and trust for success to the justic
of your cause and your own efforts, rath
er than to the help of Alexander Ram
sew and William s. King.

The truth is just here The Pied.
Press anticipates that Gov. Davis will be
nominated by the Republicans; it wants
to see him defeated; and if it could de-
feat him with one Of its employees it
would be almost equal to defeating him
with Wheelock, Driscon or Blakely. Now
We also want to sec Gov. Davis and the
Republicans defeated, but the question
arises,-can Fisher do it2
Gov. Davis would understand from the
start that his political life or death de-
pended on the issue Of the

stump; he would canvass the entire State

HELPING THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

MIR. Donnelly proposes TO abolish the Nor
NAL Schools aud give Zumbrota High School
$500 or 81 600 year on condition that Nor
NAL Glass shall be maintained therein. He
will also do the same by Pine Island and Red
Wing This would be very satisfactory. to
these three districts, but what about the other
one hundred and forty districts in the county?
Would they feel just like it Make the rich
richer and the poor poorer they would say.
Tax the scattering farmers and the thinly set
tied districts to give better schools in the towns
and villages! This would BE equality and
true economy! Too thin for the people, Mr..
Donnelly. However, we will vote for Mr..
get $500 year for the Pine Island school, and
$500 q wear for the Zumbrota sch ,sl; and we
will agree to send out at least ten teachers
from each school yearly.-Zumbroto Indepen-
dent
If forty high schools can be helped
$500 each, with a $500 appropriation,
and they turn out ten teachers each, that
would be four hundred teachers yearly,
instead Of about thirty.ive as now, from
the two schools we propose to abolish.
Try the rule Of three on it; as IS is to
400 SO are the advantages Of helping two
normal schools to the benefits resulting
from assisting 40 high schools.
Would not three high schools, SO
helped, in Pine Island, Zumbrota and
Red Wing, bring home the advantages Of
normal training to every farmers boy and
girl in Goodhue county, much better than
sending them to Winona! And if the
farmers Of the other lao school districts
of Goodhue county complain Of building
up high schools in their
own neighborhood at their expense,
how much more should they complain Of
being taxed to maintain palatial estab'
lishments in cities one hundred miles dis
tant?
Let the editor of the Independent think
for himself, and not be humbugged BY
his Winona correspondents, and he viii
help us achieve this great and necessary
reform.

WILMINGTON. DEL, OCT. -, 1873
Mr.. Bdyard for I'r"sidc"t.

Every Ercning, in long article in
which it refers to the candidates for the
Presidency, says "Ms LAYARD has neter
been our Gts) candidate for the Pres'den-
cy." 1t prefers CHARLES FRANCIS
ADAMS to Senator BAYARD. 1t Is very
difficult to understand how any one who
knows Senator BAYARD could come to
such a conclusion. There is such wide
difference between the two men that
there can be no comparison. The one
is all energy and intellect and the other
q literary fossil. Adams might make a
very good Governor for Massachusetts,
but he would be one Of the most unlike
ly men to secure the votes of the Demo
cratic people for President Adams at
Washington would be an improvement
on Grant, we have no doubt; but then
he would be comparh lively helpless IN q
contest with the political sharks that
last ten or fifteen years. while these
people would not dare to approach the
White House with any hope of success
if Senator BAYARD was at the head OF
the Government. What the people most
require now is Reform and Economy
and to secure this il will take man OF
political experience, Herculean nerve
and gigantic intellect. Just the traits
which mark the career of Senator BAY
ARD and have centered upon him the
eyes of the nation. With his known
honesty and irreproachable character nc
man can be found in the United Slater
so well qualified in every respect for th'
Chief Magistracy of the Republic.
