Defeated. On Wednesday, the
bill dividing Chippewa and Lincoln
counties. and creating the county Of
Ludiugton, was defeated in the Senate,
by a good vote A substitute had
been offered, attaching the new county
to Taylor for civil and judicial pursos-
es, and the motion came up to table
this, which, of course, took tho origi-
nal bill with it
As the bill was introduced in both
houses, the question is get pending in
the Assembly, but the decisive vote in
the Senate, will, it is hoped, prove eff
fectual in squelshing the bill by unan-
imous report from the committee.
Had it not been for the rascalities
and short comings in the town of
which have been 50 thor
oughly ventilated in Madison-there
would have been but little talk of d.
vision. And the only way our terri
tory can be kept together, will be in
seeing that none but honest and capa-

Next Thursday and Friday evenings
our people may expect two rare treats
in the way of entertainment. Rev.
Robt. Quaife of Elroy, who for mum
Der of years was employed in parish
work in London among the poor and
degraded as we'll as the more wealthy
and cultured of that great city, propo-
ses to give two lectures at the COngre-
gational Church on the evenings men
toned. The first will be an illustrated
lecture On 1.-The Pilgrims Progress. .
Mr.. Quaife has one Of the finest Ian
tern exhibitions in the west. The
painting has been done by his own
hand which attests that he is some
thing of an artist withal. The lecture
will be descriptive Of this wonderful
allegory and cannot fail to be very en-
tertaining to the younger people. The
lecture will be entitled, The Million
Peopled City, or Lights and Shadows
of London Life with a little Of It's
Ill istory aud Misery" An immense
map of the great city will materially
aid in Calculating the lecture. The
Sabbath Schools will be admitted al
ten cents per pupil. We hope the lee
lures will be well sustained, for there
will be a deal of information giver
which it were well for our people tt

the Republican call it 5000? The
Democratic count is 6,549.) Let us
see how this majority was procured.

IHP iCTION OF THE REPUB-

TTON

The action of the dominant party of
the state, in general convention as
sembled cannot fail to be interesting
and important.
The Republicans have re-nomina-
ted their present state officers. This
was to have been expected. They
are all Of them men of fair ability and
good character. We have no issue
with them personally and shall in
dulge in no abuse of them. If the
Republican party is to continue in
power in Minnesota these gentlemen
might just as we'll represent it as any
others.
We take issue with the Republican
organization of Minnesota not because
the mass of the party are not honest
and true men and well-wishers of their
country, but because they are part of
a great national organization which
is irrevocally committed by its lead

HOW IT WORKS.:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The comp
troller or the currency says the
additional circulation of national
bank notes issued during the present
month will not be less than a million
dollars. and the indications are that a
much larger amount will be issued
during October and November for
the purpose of supplying the banks
with currency necessary for the
movement of the crops.
And remember that when those
million dollars of new national bank
notes were issued $S00,000 of green
backs were burned? Why! Is the
national bank note any better than
the greenback Nota a bit.wherein is it
worse! Because those $780, 900 of
greenbacks cost the people nothing
but the cost of printing them; while
the million of national bank notes cost
them the same and $50 900 of interest
besides annually forever. That s
finance for you

THE RTGHTCOURSE.

~ The Republican county convention
of Faribault county, was held Sept
oath at Blue tEarth City, and after
selecting n ticket for the coming
election, unanimously adopted the
following resolution:
Resolred. That we regard with favor
and appreciation the act passed by the
last legislature, known as an act to
provide uniform and cheap text books
for the public schools of Minnesota,
and earnestly urge upon the school
authorities of Faribault county, Il
strict and faithful compliance with
the law.
We warn our readers that a desper-
ate attempt will be made next winter
to repeal the school book law; and they
should vote for no man for the legisla-
ture who is at all doubtful upon this
important question.

The wheat crop as it comes out of
the threshing machines SO far over
runs all previous estimates that the
students of this branch of statistics
put the average yield at twenty-five
bushels per acre-total 10000, 900 for
the entire state. We can afford to be
generous. and place five millions to the
credit of the sanguine and Joyous
temper of the times. and still have
enough left for all practical purposes.
The surplus wheat crop alone is worth
ut least some thirty million dollars in
hard cash-or pretty nearly fifty dol
lars to every man. woman and child
in the state Pioneer Press.
Such utterances are in the interest
of the wheat rings. Their effect is tc

not believe that the average wheat

I have just received letter from
Hon. r. Fleming of Fillmore county,
and he states that a greenback club
was organized at Preston on the l9th
inst. Another is to be organized at
Fountain on the 25th. 4 mass con-
vention is to be held at Preston with
view to putting a full greeback
county ticket in the field: He says
there are a great many earnest
greenbackers in his county and they
intend to organize a club in every
town.
That's the way to do it. Mr.. Page
concludes by sending large list of
subscribers for THE ANTI-MONoPO-
LIST.
Another gentleman calls at our
office to subscribe and says the green
back party can carry Houston county
this fall if they will only make the
effort. Z
In short we have good news from
all parts of southern Minnesota.

On the financial and currency ques-
;o,, 4 must he nnnfasS Snd the nnnuon

On the financial and currency ques-
ton it must be confessed the conven-
ton was not so clear. The Origina
resolution favoring resumption and
the repeal Of the act demonetizing
silver, was voted out Of the platform,
and then restored with the silver
clause. after several notifications,
finally transformed into a mere de-
mand for ssthe RECOMMENDATION Of sill
vera phrase which does not mean
what it's eager supporters probably
thought it did. For no one objects to
the RECOMMENDATION of silver, except
on the mere ground Of it's inutillty,
provided the silver dollar is made
equal in value to the gold dollar. Prob
ably the specie advocates Of this plank
thought it implied the restoration Of
the old silver dollar, which, however,
is an assumption not warranted by the
language.
In other words. the resolution ac-
complished the desire Of that able
tactician Gen. John B. SanbOrn, 1t
said something which meant moth
ing !" The resolution which was
stricken out, demanded that the bonds
should be paid in the same coin Of the
same value they were contracted to
be paid in. The mere phrase 'sthe
reconciliation Of silver may mean
remonetizing it in coin of that value,
or twice that value or half that value,
It means nothing and amounts to
nothing.
Here then we have Republican
state convention deliberately declar-
ing in favor of John Sherman's policy,
and at the same time playing double
shuttle with the silver question.
Can Republican Greenbackers vote
for the ticket so nominatedl Is it
not their duty if they would see
greenback principles triumphant to
vote the greenback ticket!

SCHOOLS AND SCHOLARS.

The Pioneer Press makes the fol-
lowing very just point:
English grammar is superfiuous
remnant of the medieval classicism
which thought the national tongue too
vulgar for literature or cultured
conversation. When this spirit waxed
too weak to keep Latin or Norman
French alive as the language of the
educated classes. it was still strong
enough to seek to cast our simple.
strong. uninfected. grammarless
English into the rigid, formal molds
of dead and continental tongues. The
English language is one step further
advanced in its development than any
other in the world, in it's freedom
from. infections, and the predantic
instruction that hangs upon it the
clumsy fetters which were only neces-
sary to older, infected, formal
tongues. is constant hindrance to its
proper requirement as means of
expressing thought. Yet this is pre-

THE ACTION OF THE DEMOC-
RACY.
S,759,767,O78 20

The Democratic party of the State
of Minnesota on Tuesday last placed
itself, to large degree, upon the same
platform, on the financial questions
of the day, with the Democracy of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Missouri and in fact of the
entire West. 1t condemned the Re-
publican party for the following:--
First-By changing the law, the contract,
under which the government bonds were
issued and the national debt incurred in favor
of the creditor, the bondholder and against
the debtor. the people-1naking the debt pay
able in coin when by the law authorizing its
creation it was largely payable in the legal
tender currency OF the country.
Second-By the demonstration of American
silver making the national debt now amount
ing to more than two thousand million of
dollars, payable in gold alone.
Thirdly an arbitrary enactment forcing
the circulating medium of the country to be
redeemed at an early date in gold, result
only to be reached by the retirement of the
currency before the time fixed for its redemp-
ton, thereby making certain the destruction
of all values except the value OF money.
This is great advance, from the
action of two years ago. aud 1t was
accomplished by the decisive vote of
- to Il.
The nomination of Mr.. Banning was
a deserved tribute to an able and hon
orable gentleman. The entire opposi-
| tion can now unite in his behalf and
elect him.

.lGOOD TICKET.

In consequence Of the pressure OF
other matter upon our columns we
have hitherto failed to notice the tlcket
presented by the Temperance State
convention. It is an excellent one.
The candidate for governor, Austin
Wiley Esq, of Northield, is gentle
man of rare ability, earnestness ~and
devotion to the good of his fellow
men.
We are glad to see that the temper
ance men are taking hold vigorously.
If principles are worth anything they
are worth voting for. The man VINO
will talk in favor of q cause and won t
vote for it is either a fool or ffknave.

cisely what the grammer of the schools
does. It takes English, without any
formal or structural nature, without
infection, without gender, without
government or any conditional
character, forces all this bungling and
antiquated mechanism upon it, and
teaches the stuff that results to our
children.
A great deal that is taught in the
schools is useless, and a great deal
that is useful is not taught. Dead
languages are preferred to living facts.
The pupil graduates knowing a good
deal about what acas and very little
concerning what IS.
More time should be given to ques-
tions of government, to geology,
astronomy, physiology, etc.
