Prof. PTatt's concert, of last Thurs
day evening for the benefit of the
yellow fever sufferers was an entire
success, both financially and other
wise, and the Professor may well feel
proud of this enterprise, the under
taking of which, does credit alike to
his head and heart. Each chorus was
rendered in manner that showed the
effect of the thorough preparation for
which the veteran conductor is so
much noted. 1t is difficult to speak
properly of the separate performances,
all were so fine in their way. The
chorus, almighty Cod and the solo
of Mrs. Woodwork were much en-
joyed by all and were warmly applaud
ed. Miss Pratt's artistic rendering of
Mozart's Don juan was heartily
encored and she then gave the beauti-
full little favorite, 1.-The Brook, y which

The Greenback train IS coming,

hear the car wheels moving
And rambling through the land;

She's plying all her steam and power,
And straiuing every nerve.

Bro. Ives, or the Plaindealer, makes
the following unqualified assertion:
'sKeyes, the most fraudulent of the
Republican leaders of Wisconsin. al
ready has his money in Pierce county
to Intricate the election of some pill
ant tool, whom he can use to aid his
election to the United States Senate. "
This sounds very much like a little
cheap campaign buncombe intended to
arouse prejudice against the Repubh-
can candidate for the legislature. OF
course the readers of the Plaindealer
know that no man can go around and
buy up the whole State by counties to
secure his own election to official po-
sition. The ''warm crow" eater OF

room being IN the st. Charles hotel, and on
the same floor as parlor p and while CON
versing with Mr.. Longley he heard and saw
Hon. John Sherman conversing within said
room and through the open door: affiant
heard said Sherman laugh hilariously about
the Plnkston testimony delivered that day,
and remarked to Hon. Job E. Stevenson, whom
af1iant took the other person to be. that it
was laughable to see how Governor Bipler
had taken in the whole thing, and other re-
marks Ill the same vein, BY which affiant nm
derstood said Sherman to be rejoicing over

To the Editor of the Globe.
There is no law of the State adopting the
Merrill text books as the only text books that
can be used in the common schools of the
State, and any school district can. by a vote
at any annual or special meeting, decide to
have them or any other they can by a major
ity vote agree upon; if they decide that thew
90 want the Merrill series or part of them.
they can do SO, as section four of the Mer-
rill law provides that the clerk shall order
only such books as are wanted, and anv dis
til clerk ordering the Merrill books when
the district votes that they do not want them
would render himself liable to fine and i'm
prisonment, if the attorney generals opinion
W orth anything.
Fellow clerks, be true to the trust reposed
in you to protect the school fund of your
district, it is the foundation of our school
system, and the diverting it from it's lepiti-
mate object under any pretext whatever is to
weaken, if not destroy, that system which
should be our aim to protect at all haz-
yards, and hand down unimpaired to our chill
dren.
IF your districts want the Merrill books
buy them yourself and supply theSa to the
children at State prices, or club together and
buy what you want as you need them.
1t is very easy to get lot of books on
hand under the Merrill law, and have the
funds of the district tied up in them, but. /
tellyou from experience, that it is not SO easy
to realize from them, as there is no law to
compel parents OF children to buy them.

THE PINE LAND RING.

Hoo II IS HOrEing for WnsAbM,2.-RepubIi-
can acknowledgment Of the Corruption of
the Republicans whO support Washburn.
Pioneer Press, July 3.
The Evening Tribune concludes an able
article on the outrageous conduct of the Pr
oneer Press in intimating that, in certain
contingencies, Stewart would be justified in
ignoring convention packed by dishonest
means, and in appealing to his constitu-
ents to sustain him, with the following para
graph:
To conclude, let say that if the proposed
bolt OF Stewart which the Pioneer, Press init
mates may upon certain contingencies be iusti-
fable. be threatened in good earnest it is a
silly and contemplate and baseless theory
which will have no following beyond Dr. Stew
| art and the Pioneer Press. If however. the
stuff IS put forward as bluff. it may as well be
abandoned at once because st. Paul ought to
be aware by this time that that kind of tao
tics don't go )wn in this community Mime
apolls don't knuckle to that kind of nonsense
worth cent.
ms lacks persplcuity: but if the Tribune
means to say the Republicans of this district
would be bound to obey the DEGREES of con
vention packed by dishonest means, we have
the honor to disagree with it; if it means to
say that the independent candidacy of DIR.
Stewart under such circumstances would
have no support. it knows better; it would
have support enough to smash the pine ring
machine and clear the way for honest poll
| tics in the future; if it means merely to say
that Mr.. Washburn's friends have not been
| using improper or dishonest means to pack
| the convention, that is the question at issue.
We have not sufficient information on that
pointer, rather, our information is too
contradictory to enable us to form decided
opinion at present. We know that some
very dishonest men have been managing Mr..
Washburn's canvass, and we know that
they have immense pecuniary interests at
stake in his election-interests so great that
they could we'll afford to spend tens of
thousands of dollars to have Congressman
in Washington whom they could rely on to
protect them from exposure and from the
apprehended necessity of being called upon
to answer for the frauds they have com
mitted, and by which they have profited.
We know that some of these men have been
the most active agents and friends of Mr..
Washburn in the canvass which has been
going on for the last six or seven months in
his interest They have been his ardent
friends for years. They want him elected
less oh his account than their own; for Wash
burn is man to stick by his friends, and
they know they can rely on his personal
friendship and his gratitude for their zeal
and devotion to his political interests to
avert the thunderbolt that threatens to
crush them.

The cable dispatches credit Great Britain
with the intention of claiming the island of
Cyprus. This is an important strategic
point, commanding the entire eastern por-
ton of the Mediterranean. In the event of
a British campaign in Asia against either
kussia or other foe, the possession of the
island would be of the utmost service, for it
could be made a base of supplies and troops
besides being an important naval station.
The possession of this point, together with
the proposed British protectorate cover
Asiatic Turkey, would be an effectual bar to
any further progress of Russia in the di-
rection of India.
