COL. P. B. PLUMB ELECTED
Emporia and the Southwest
Counted In.

The protracted contest at Topeka
fer the Office Of United States Sena-
tor, terminated on Wednesday by
the election of Col. p. B. Plumb, OF
Emporia, On the sixteenth ballot, by
SO votes to SO for Judge Lowe, Of
F0rt Scott. Mr.. Harvey had pre-
viously Withdrawn, and the vote
OF Tuesday being 81 for Plumb,
forced his competitors-Gov. o.
born, Judge Sears and Mr.. SimonH
Ito consolidate, and they finally
did this In caucus, and concentrated
their vote to the best Of their power
on Judge Lowe, one of the best men
In the State, but Col. Plumb could
net be bulldozed, and went in by q
handsome majority.
OF the incidents of the election
aud the enthusiastic receptions giveH
Col. Plumb on his way and at home,
we can speak next week. The Empo-
ria Senator will represent the whole
State of Kansas and the Republican

won . splendid victory to begin
with, and we predict g successful
and brilliant record for him in tho

| WOman's NOrmaI school
Views.

Mrs. II. E. Monroe, an expert
enced teacher in Atchison, publish
es her views, in the Champion, in
regard to Normal School appr0pria-
tions. We clip the following point
ed statements from her article,
which is endorsed by the city and
county superintendents there:
First, The State is no more oblig-
ed to educate its teachers than it is
it's lawyers or doctors. The free
education OF both cIergymen and
teachers, keep the wages of both
permanently low, and the standard
of q profession is measured by lite
wages.
Second, The Normal Schools of
Kansas have been giving primary
instruction in elementary branches
of an education such as should be
given in intermediate, grammar,
and high schools, instead of teach
ing the profession, thereby profess
sing to do one thing while actually
doing another. Teaching is q pro-
fession TO be learned after a good
education is obtained, while they
have taken young children and en-
deavored to plaster our profession
on them. What would you think Of
law school that began at the ele-
ments of q common school educa-
ton to teach its students, and yet
called that instruction in the profess
sion?. Ii we could have one Nor
NAL school that would require each
applicant to hold first grade GER
tificate in scholarship from his own
county, and then, alter giving him
instruction In the best methods OF
iInparting knowledge in school
economy and school law, give him
q diploma that would obViate the
tiIesome examinations, its diploma
would then be desirable, aud il
would be doing what such schools
profess.
Third, Many persons attend those
schools who never intend to become
teachers, the State thereby incuring
an expense from which It has no
benefit, inasmuch as the State has
already amply provided for the So
cial and literary education of it's cit
lzene, in the public schools, Agri-
cultural College and University,
Fourth, Some of these schools
have not been doing good work.
Many of their students have been
examined before the Atchison Coun-
ty Board of Examiners, for certifi.
Gates as teachers, after attending
several terms at Normal school, ma
ny even bringing recommendations
from such schools, and yet not one
of them could make q correct man.
uscript, and not one could take 6
first grade certificate, and this while
the prejudices of the Board were In
favor OF Normal students. In few
months more these same students
would have been given diploma
at the Normal school outrankIng
many really good teachers having
first grade certificates and possibly
collegiate edacations.
However much we may dissent
from Mrs. Monroe's views, she a
least expresses them with refresh
ing frankness and directness.

Hons. Welcome Wells and s, N. Wood:
GENTLEMENs-I received your IA
vor this evening, and answer it at
the first spare moment.
AS public servant, I recognize
the propriety of the people, or of
their representatives., to inquire into
the political views of public ser-
wants or of those who may become
so.
1 think I recognize the spirit and
purpose of your questions, and have
f1attered myself that my public rec
ere was no uncertain answer.
have never hesitated to defend
the positions ! thought to be right
without stopping to inquire as to
their certain success. ] have voted
for the repeal of the resumption act
on several occasions; always favor
ed it. / voted against the law in
the first place.
voted for the reconciliation of
the silver dollar. / think the ma
tional banking system is full of de-
fects, and favor changes IN the sys-
tem in the line you suggest the mo-
ment it can be done without too
sudden contraction.
The many bills have introduced
and supported in behalf of the peo-
pie against all who invade their just
rights, is perhaps the best answer ]
can give your closing question.
am, with respect, very truly
yours, w. A. PHILLIPS.

The Illinois Senatorial election
terminated by the greenback mem
bers putting up Judge David Davis,
OF the U. s. Supreme Court, and the
democrats Joined in supporting
him and he was promptly elected.
The greenback men numbered only
IL, but they held the ''balance of
power" and exercised their power
with Q good deal OF nerve. Gen.
Logan INDUCED last fall in a num-
Der OF hard money speeches, and
has lost his seat in the Senate in
consequence, but whether Judge
Davis Is any more reliable as .
greenback Senator, is rather doubt
ful to people who have watched his
course carefully.

From the N. Y. Mercantile Journal

from the Ne L MeTcnanLiI6 dOuEnal
The result of even q partial &C
ceptance of the theories of those
who advocate the reduction of the
amount of money--or the tools of
exchange-as distinguished from
debt aud credit, is wildly shown in
the last circular OF the Commercial
Agency. Perusal of the same may
perhaps recall to the mind OF the
reader the experience of the farmer
who, like eur so-called statesmen,
ascribed miraculous power to conf
dence, and putting green goggles on
his horses eyes, fed him on carpen-
ter's shavings, which the deluded
animal deVoured, under the impress
sion that they were grass. The ex-
pertinent promised entire success !;
but, unfortunately, the horses died,
and the experiment has not been
repeated. y
