A SUGGESTION TO LYCEUMs

The campaign just closed has clear
ly demonstrated one fact: Ninety
nine per cent. of our people have only
the most vague and indefinite ideas
concerning fundamental principles OF
government. Specie-payment, re-
sumption, decentralization, re-mone-
tization, trade-dollar, the dollar of our
fathers these terms have been BAN
died about by stump-speakers, news
papers, and people in general, without
being understood. Hence, dead-beats
and demagogues of all descriptions
can, and do, easily impose upon the
people.
The root of this difficulty lies in the
fact that the people have no means OF
information; at least, not such means
as are of use to them. The weekly
papers upon which the people In the
rural districts have to depend for their
political information, can not well fill
their columns with long expositions
the elaborate articles of the scientific
and literary magazines do not give the
needed explanations.
Some other means, then, must be de
vised to put the people into possesssor
of those items that ought 10 be known
By every American. Can not the Ly
ceum be made the medium through
which this much desired information
may be disseminated ! Can not TIT
teachers in those districts in which
Lyceums hold regular sessions, taxi
the initiative in this matter! 1nsteas
of discussing whether ''Three time
four is twelve, or 'sThree times foul
are twelve. is correct, would it mo-
be better to discuss our form of gov
ernment, our system of taxation. GU
system of representation. and the like
These things are generally considers
dry; they are not necessarily So
they can be made entertaining an
they certainly are instructive.

DEATH OF SENATOR MORTON.

The death of United States Senator
Oliver p. Morton, of Indiana, which
occurred at his home in Indianapolis,
on Thursday last. though not unex-
pected, produces a more general feel
ing of sadness than has the death of
any of our most eminent public men
since the assassination of our martyr
President, Lincoln. Senator Morton
was elected Lieutenant Governor of
Indiana IN 1850 on the ticket headed
by Henry s. Lane, and Mr.. Lane soon
after being elected TO the Senate, Nor

duties of the Executive of that State
and soon became conspicuous as In
diana "war Governor" His position
as such was a trying one and most
nobly did he perform his duties to the
State and general Government. In
1854 he was elected Governor, in which
capacity he faithfully served his con

elected United States Senator, 90 which
position he was reelected in 1873
That same answering fidelity which
characterized him while Governor ac

IT seems to be pretty generally UNI
derstood in st. CrOix county that an
attempt will be made, by parties par
tlcularly interested, to have the char
ter of the North Wisconsin Railway
Company repealed at the Forthcoming
session of the State Legislature. The
parties particularly interested are
those who placed themselves upon the
bond of the Company insuring faith
full compliance with the terms of the
charter. As the charter provides for
a railway from Hudson ria this vii
lage to Prescott our people will of
course oppose the repeal of the char
ter and we trust that our law-glvers
will promptly "sit down. upon any
attempt at repeal. The State of Wis
eonsIn entered into this compact with
the North Wisconsin in good faith
and should insist upon a faithful per-
Torrance of its obligations on the part
of the railway company.

RIVER FALLS WISCONSIN, Tuesday, NOVEMBER 8. 1877.


The Republicans of Wisconsin may
well feel proud of the victory won on
Tuesday. They have triumphantly
elected Their State ticket by over
5000 majority, while they also have
the legislature. Of the factors which
have contributed to this gratifying re-
suit we have not space to speak in this
issue, but shall take occasion to give
them casual review IN our next.
OF the other States, Massachusetts
and Minnesota have certainly gone Re-
publican--New Jersey and Pennsylya-
MIA as certainly Democratic, while
New York is doubtful.

The Democratic party, if we may be
permitted to judge it by the action OF
its representatives in Congress. has
forsaken its time honored principles
favoring a sound currency and now
seeks popular favor and power by

SHADOWS.
BY MRS. J. E. AKEas.

When the tender buds are breaking
On every shrub and tree,
And the blithesOme birds are waking
Their notes of melody,
Then shadows lightly falling
Upon the scarce green sod,
Seem as the angels pencilings
Or paths by fairies trod.
When summers leaves and flowers
In beauty are displayed,
In quiet woodland bowers
We seek the cooling shade,
How refreshing are the shadows
In the forest dark and deep,
In the hOwer-spangled meadows
And where silvery streamlets sleep.
When Autumn winds are signing
The lonely forest through,
And fading leaves seem vieing
With the sunsets gorgeous hue,
Then the misty shadows falling
Like dreams across our way,
Seem from the past recalling
The thoughts OF bygone days.
And when the winds of winter
The giant oak have barred,
And the trembling, fragile shrub
Has scarce a leaflet spared;
When over hill and meadows
Is spread snowy pail,
How YEARLY the shadows
Across our pathway fall.
