The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-03-11

To truthfully understand the above
figures, 1t is necessary to bear IN mind
that they represent the total number OF
different pupils enrolled in each school
during the full year, not the average at
tendance.
A man would be thought very foolish
should he take the number Of different
names upon a hotel register for full
year, in order to judge OF its ca
pacity or daily business. 10 judge
correctly he would ask as a basis
for the average daily boarders or custo-
mers for each week or month of the year.
Such report these Normal Schools have
in years past not dared to make; but
each year they have come up begging TO
the Legislature, holding in their hands
as their fruits the decci;ful reports OF
total enrolment, no matter whether the
pupil was actually present one DAY or one
term. In their last report, lnadvertant-
ly, perhaps, they give data from which
the average daily attendance for, not
different months or aoeeks, but Tor the
full year can be approached. Using the
imperfect repol is they have furnished,
little sunlight and arithmetic Will snow
that for the last year the actual daily
attendance at Winona has been about %
per cent, at St. Cloud So per cent, and
at Mankato 36 per cent. of the enroll
ment. Apply these figures to the above
reports for six year S enrolment, ane
copying from reports for 1874, and some
APPROX mate estimate Of the real work Of
these schools can be reached. Upon thl!
basis, which is most favorable
one to the schools, since each year II
this State should increase the per cent
of regularity and average attendance

The crowd in the Senate galleries to-

Upon the desks of johnson and Dawes

As johnson advanced to the clerk S

checked BY the Nice-President. After he
was sworn large boquet was handed
him by page, and he was escorted to his
seat by Senator Bogy.
All the new Senator's having been

A JOKING MINSTREL MAKES A
MISTAKE.

Charley Backus, the practical joker,
was in a small town in Connecticut, the
other day, and, as he started for New
York, he stood on the rear platform of
the last car Of the train. Just as the
whistle was blown and the cars began to
move Baokus espied big fellow loung-
ing in the depot, and shaking his fist at
him in assumed rage, he shouted:
ooh, there you are, you villianl I've
been looking for you all over this cursed
town. Oh, you knave, you thief, you
scoundrel!"
AT this time the train was rapidly NOV
ing out of the depot, and Baokus wildly
shook his fist at the astonished stranger,
screaming;
"Don't / wish had time to get of
and thrash you, you scoundrell"
To the horror of the minstrel joker
the train was stopped and backed into
the depot. Baekus made a rush for his
compartment in the drawing room car
and locked himself in just as a brawny,
listed depot lounger boarded the train
and howled;
"Where is that damned duffer who
has been looking all over this ere towr
for mel"
}, Backus kept himself in his prison un
til ne reached New York.-[New Yorl

If WE KNEW.

If we knew the woe and heart-ache,
Waiting for us down the road,
If our lips could taste the wormwood,
If our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste the day in wishing
For time that ne'er can bel
Would we wait in such impatience
For our ships TO come from sea-
If we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window-pane,
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble us again
Would the bright eyes Of our darling
Catch a frown upon our brow
Would the print of rosy fingers
Vox us then as they do now'
Ah, these little ice-cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Srewn along our backward track,
How these little hands remind us,
AS in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-but roses
For our reaping by and by.
Strange, we never prize the music
Till the sweet voiced bird has flown;
Strange, that we should slight the violet.
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange, that summer skies and sunshin,
Never seem one half so fair
Aswhen winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down in the air!
Lips, from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth to-day;
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams
Lying all around our path;
Let uskeep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chaff;
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day,
With patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.

are to infer that in the opinion of the
Speaker, Mr.. Morrison is the man. He is
native of Illinois, fifty years of age;
served as colonel of the Forty-ninth ILL
nois Regiment in the Confederate war,
and is usually indebted to Liberal Repub-
lican votes for his election. He was a
member of the late Congress, and, so far
as we know, not specially prominent as q
legislator. The selection of such man
for the position, by Mr.. Kerr, probably
implies that he is rather man of bust
ness than politician.

THE LEADER OF THE HOUSE.

Speaker Kerr has disregarded the sug-
gestions of the Democratic organs, by pass
ing over Ben Wood, Sam Randall, Sunset
Cox and three or four other prominent
headlights. In selecting a chairman for
the Committee on Ways and Means. his
choice fell on Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois,
which will, no doubt, take everybody,
especially New Orleans Democratic pa
pers, by surprise. We have been assured,
from time to time, that Wood was sure to
get it, unless Sam Randall beat him, or
Sunset Cox could work his combinations
to defeat both of them. None of our
local oracles are on record for Morrison,
though they are, generally, quite clear
that Hon. N. @. Kerr, the sworn enemy
or the Texas Pacific railroad, is great
blessing in the Speakers chair. The
chairman Of the Committee on Ways and
Means has generally been Ahe leader Of
the majority party in the House, and We

The new organ of the Democracy cracks
the party whip in the interest of Senator
Mari, and attempts to prove by rather
vapid speech of the late Senator Ferry, of
Connecticut, that he has been sent there
by ''Louisiana's rightful Governor" We
plead guilty to the charge of having made
humorous reference to this appointment
and can not find either in the speech of
the bilious Connecticut Senator nor the
suggestions of the Democratic organ,
anything to justify a more serious al
fusion. The fact that Mr.. Ferry and sew
eral members of congressional commit
tees foundered around in the dark at first
on the Louisiana question, is of no mo-
ment since the Senate has once and the
House twice formally declared w. P.
Kellogg to be "Louisiana's rightful Gov
ernor." 1t can not be matter of much
consequence who sets up q different
opinion now. The Senate is not likely to
reverse its formal opinion of last winter.
DR.. McAllllen, an astute, clear headed
man, and more of Republican than
Democrat, saw there was not the least
hope for him, and abandoned the pursuit.
Mr.. Mari has no stronger case, and we
very much doubt whether he will think it
worth the trouble of trip to Washington
to be told that his name is not on the roll
of Senators. If his appointment is not
good joke, it is because it is too fat to be
pungent.
