RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY MAY 16 1878
PERSONAL PROPERTY FIGURES.

| Pending the announcement of the
deliberations of the State Board of
Equalizations which convened at Mad
ison yesterday, few items CLEANED
from the abstracts of assessment of
the several counties of Wisconsin may
prove of interest to our readers. The
total assessed valuation of all personal
property in the State as made by the
assessment of 1877 foots up ST., 362,-
259, divided among the different class
esgof property as follows: Horses,
So, 2l0,2 04; neat cattle, 1902, S48 !;
mules and asses, 1920, 500; sheep and
lambs, 81, 456. 300; swine, Ssl, 6l2, Q5s !;
wagons carriages and sleighs, $3.779.
262; watches, $410,52l pianos and
melodeons, $1,l72,9e5; bank stock,
SO, 564, 776; merchants and manufac-
turers' stock, $50, 053, 500; all other
personal property, 1928, 759, 296. This
falls far short of the real cash value
of the property as the statutory rule
for making assessments was not fol-
lowed except, perhaps in the assess
ment of bank stock. The average
valuation of the subjects of assess
ment takes wide range. Thus,
horses average $50. 40 per head in
Eau Claire county, while in Barron
county the average is but $ll.50; cat
tie average $24.44 per head in Taylor
county and in Barron $6.43; mules and
asses average $s68. Ii per head in Eau
Claire county and $l5 in Lincoln;
sheep and lambs average $l.89 in Wal
worth and Soc in Brown swine aver
age $3.50 in Grant and 94 cts. in Lin
coin; wagons, carriages and sleighs
average Ss35 in Bayfield, and 1910 in
Lincoln; watches average 1913 in Bay
field and So 33 in Lincoln; Pianos and
melodeons average 1921 SO in Douglas
and $12 in Burnett. Milwaukee holds
the largest amount of bank stock
$I.l23. 23l. Milwaukee also contains a
greater amount of merchants and
manufacturers stock than any other
county in the State-$s8, 307. 452; Doug
las has the least of this class of prop
erty, reporting but 1850. The total OF
all personal property in Milwaukee is
set down at SIS, 345, 2S1, Lincoln coun-
ty containing the least-$l3,654. AS
a rule the assessors of Pierce county
have listed property at about an equal
distance between the two extremes
observed, if any difference a tribe
higher than an average.

OBJECTS OF SCHOOL VISITATION.

/ IN order that there may be more
complete understanding between the
parties mentioned, we copy some views
of our own published in the. Wisconsin
Journal of Education for February,
1873.
The object of superintendent in
visiting a school, and the means by
which he aims to accomplish any good,
are little understood by some teachers
| to whom a few few words of expla-
nation may be of service.
In the first place, you may be sur
prised to learn that he is your friend.
No one more desires your success.
Your failure is discreditlto him. He
will not retail your faults to your pu-
pills or patrons, but your merits will be
placed before them, that they may
have confidence in you, and be respect
full. He will not correct any of Your
/ faults before your pupils. Tell him
what troubles you IN methods and
government, and if you receive no help
i YOU are not harmed. Do not allow the
| pupils to form hollow square around
| Yourself and the superintendent while
conversing. His talk to you should
not become neighborhood gossip. Be
entirely free to correct pupils in his
presence. Do not try to show off your
smartest pupils and best classes. The
poorest ones are those which should
receive most of his attention.
i Because he suggests many improve
ments, do not think he has seen moth
ing meritorious in your work. Unless
time is too short, he will leave with
YOU written statement of what heap
proves and of what changes be would
suggest. Unless you have arrived at
perfection it is proper for him who
receives a part of the credit for your
success, and condemnation for your
/ failure. to point out the imperfectlons,
and indicate points which demand I'M
proyement. If any small matters are
| mt in the list of imperfections. you
| may infer that the general course is
| right.
Some teachers take to defending
themselves, in that event, and try to
neutralize bad point by good one,
when the suggestions were inspired by
a deep interest, and consciousness
that there was good natural ability for
teaching, and a foundation ALREADY
laid for career of unusual success.
The following classes OF teachers 90
not receive suggestions: Those who
are absolute failures BY nature. quail
fcations and lack of interest; those
who are doing the best possible under
adverse surroundings which they can
not change; those who are evidently
| FOO conceited. stubborn. or stupid. TO
undertake any Improvement

IT is evident that leading members
of the Republican party have come to
the conclusion that it will be worth
their while to put in little campaign
work in the South next fall, in the
reasonable hope of gaining few Con-
Gresamen, as we'll as to thoroughly
test the effect of Hayes policy of con
Citation. If Republicans are allowed
the privilege of free speech without
fear of moIestation and are permitted
TO conduct themselves in all respects
with that freedom which governs the
actions of Democrats in Wisconsin, we
shall feel that new era is dawning
there whether OF not Republican gains
are chronicled.

SOM of the politicians were recently
thrown into fever of curiosity over
the report that efforts would be made
tie secl.re the impeachment of a Circuit

sion OF the Legislature. This report
was soon supplemented by the infor-
nsation that Judge Barron was the man
to be proceeded against on the score
Of coaviviality, by couple of Eau
Claire attorneys, prompted in their
course by bitter personal prejudice.
These individuals are not in Barron 5

to but a ripple.

REPORTS have it that the politicians
Of Eau Claire are re-adjusting the fed
eral offices to suit themselves. Post
master Chase has been nominated and
confirmed United States Marshal
for Idaho, and it is said that Jim
Bracket will take Chase's place in the
Post Office, while some other hungry
poll Cician, whose front name we have
forgotten, will take the seat in the Land
Office to be vacated by Bracket for
the postmastership. 'Tis inexpressi.
bly, sad to dwell upon the existence OF
any law or custom which prohibits
Bracket from running both the Post
Office and Land Office, as well as the
Ja1icial concerns of this Circuit.

MORE INVESTIGATION.

Laboring under the impression that
political capital can be made out OF an
investigation into the alleged frauds
of Florida aud Louisiana, in connection
with the presidential election of 1876,
the Democrats in the House OF Repre-
sentatives have decided upon the APP
pointment of a committee Of eleven
to inquire into hes.alleged false and
fraudulent canvass and return of votes
by state, county, parish. and precinct
officers in said States of Louisiana and
Florida; .'to appoint subcommittee
with the usual powers, to sit during
the present session of Congress and
during vacation, and to have leave to
report at any time. All the efforts
made by the Republicans to have other
States, as Mississippi and Oregon, in
cluded, were promptly squelched by
the Democratic majority and this
action on the part of the majority
seems to be proof enough to the UNI
preiudiced that the whole affair is a
scheme for besmirching the Republl-
cans and convincing (lJ the people of
the United States that the Democratic
party is the party that comprises all
the political honesty, purity, and rec
titude to be found on this footstool.
That any new facts will be brought to
light, nobody believes; that any dis
honest action will be proven against
the President or any member of his
cabinet, not an intelligent person will
for a moment suppose; but the DEM
ocrats care not. They want.to ingra-
tiate themselves with the masses in
order to come triumphant out of the
next presidential campaign; and if, as
they think, this object can best be ac-
complished by heaping suspicious in
situations, and innuendoes-slander-
Gus though they may be-upon Hayes
and other prominent Republicans, they
will not allow conscientious scruples
or quickened consciences to interfere
with the odorous task they have set
for themselves.
Under the hue and cry that enor-
nous frauds practiced upon the people
of the United States, are to be I'M
earthed, the investigation will go on
until such time as will be considered
especially propitious for making a re-
port, Democrats will throw up their
hands in holy horror, shocked by the
enornity of Republican sin; few
anti Hayes soreheads will wisely ex-
claim, told you so and the country
at large viii have the satisfaction of
knowing that increased taxation the
inevitable result of prolonged sittings
of committees--is resorted to only for
the purpose of protecting the ''dear
people, in their inalienable rights.
BY all means, let the investigation
proceed.

tional department, occupying nearly
one page of the nine column paper.
WE have heretofore given little at

because it was taught too well, but
too much. During the summer cam

MISS FooTE, of the Normal, who has
been sick for about two weeks, has
again resumed her work. Many of
the older students whose faces we al
ways recognize with pleasure, have
now left us. Success to them where
soever they may be engaged in good
works. Prof. Reynolds when last in
town, had something to say about the

is an old veteran in school matters We
doubt not that his ideas were well
founded. X.
TIE amount spent in this country for
| liquors, averages about $50 for every
man, woman and child. This sum is
4
at least wasted; and yet there are some
politicians who defend this traffic, that
are free to cry economy in school
matters and it is for their interest to do
so, becausean education which went far
enough to teach every boy and girl the
accepted scientific facts in regard to
the wholly deleterious effects of alco-
holic drinks. would cause thenextgener
alton to refuse to touch them, and distil-
leries would have no customers, and
almshouses and prisons no occupants.
Put the amount now spent for drink in
to schools, and the results would be
startling, and the electioneering of ig-
norant communities a matter of his
tory.
