The Lyceunl.

E0ltOr OF the Transcript:
It was my pleas ure to attend the
opening session of the Lyceum last
Saturday evening, and, while listening
to the very able arguments advanced
by the several speakers, tho inquiry
arose in my mind, "What is the OBJ
ject of the Lyceum ?" A diversity of
opinions seems to be afoat in regard
to the best methods of awakening an
interest In the public. The people
desire enlightenment upon the living
issues of the hour. They are ready
to receive this information in whats
ever form presented. In my opinion
they will not yearn for discussions up
on the question whether 1.-TWO times
three is SIX" or 1.-TWO times three are
SIX" or the relative Importance of the
conscience or reason. Questions of this
nature are too abstruse and speculative.
Those who have closely watched the
everyday current of events have un-
doubtedly seen the absorbing interest
manifested by the people in matters
pertaining to finance. The CAM
paign just closed has clearly demon.
strated one fact: Ninety per cent. Of
our people have the most vague and
indefinite ideas concerning funda>
mental principles Of government.
Specie payment, resumption, remone~
tization, the dollar Of our fathers
these terms have been banded about
by stump~speakers, and people in gen.
eral, without being understood.
Hence, dead. beats and demagogues of
all descriptions can, and do, easily ,m>
pose 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 mass of the people have to
depend for their political information,
can not well fill their columns with
long expositions. Some other means,
then, must be devised to put the peo>
pie into possession of those items that
ought to be known by every American.
Can not the Lyceum be made the me-
dunn through which this much de-
sired information can be disseminated =?
Topics, without number, can be found
relating to our form Of government,
our system of representation and the
like. These things are not necessa~
rily dry; they can be made entertaln>
ing; and they certainly are instructive
to all classes, irrespective of political
creed. J. 9. FLYNN.

The |ynchers of the West have i'm
proved upon the old plan of a moose
and strong limb for violators ST the
law. A party of herders in Custer
county, Nebraska, took two murderers
from the custody of the sheriff the
other day and burned them at the
stake. While their ofense probably
merited death, the horrible manner of
their taking off will cause a shudder
to pass over the whole country.-iSt.
Paul Globe.
Is LATER.-The two men burned at
the stake were innocent of the crime
with which they were charged. One
of them leaves family.

The Literary Association.

The first regular meeting of the Little
Falls Literary Association was held at
the Court House LAST Saturday eve>
ming. The exercises consisted of mu>
sic and addresses. The new plan Of
having neither constitution nor by
laws seemed to work we'll, as compared
with the working of the old association
of last winter. In the first place the
most perfect order was preserved,
which could hardly be said Of a single
meeting held by the old association;
and at the close of the meeting VOL
untary collection was taken up, which
amounted to more than two>thirds of
the entire sum collected by the old as
sociation during it's existence. The
committee on programme selected the
following question for debate at the
next meeting, to be held at the Court
House on Saturday evening, the 2lst
inst: .
Resozvea, That the best interests Of
the people Of the United States require
that the Republican party should be
continued in power.
Speakers we're appointed as follows:
Affirmative, Hon. N. Richardson ;
negative, DR.. J. o. Simmons. It is
expected that the next meeting will be
very interesting. There will be mu>
sic and various exercises besides the
debate. The exercises viii commence
promptly at seven o'clock.
