HUMPHREY AND PARKER.


One of the heavy editorials which
appears in the New Richmond Green
hacker of October 18th, takes the
JOURNAL to task for supporting Judge
Humphrey for Congress because he is
a Republican. and quotes an eulogy up
on The Greenback-D Democratic candi-
date for Congress which appeared in
the River Falls Advance of September
21st, 1878, evidently for the purpose
of making us appear inconsistent in
our course. We would beg leave gent
ly to hint to our New Richmond CO.
temporary of soft-money proclivities
that since the publication of the Adj
vance in 1875 there has been partial
change in the proprietorship of this
paper as well as in it's editorial man.
agement, the author of the article
quoted by the Greenbacker not having
penned sentence for these columns
during the past eighteen months.
Waving these facts, however, and
conceding all for Mr.. Parker that the
Advance said of him the JOURNAL can
consistently support Judge Humphrey
for Congress. TO be sure we have
not attacked Mr.. Parker personally
there has been no occasion for it; the
writer hereof is not of that class who
believes that a man necessarily SUBJ
iects himself to indiscriminate person
al abuse simply by becoming candi-
date for office; and while we may ad.
mire Mr.. Parker's character as citi-
zen and neighbor, it does not follow
that we should become one of that
gentleman disciples in his varied po-
litical meanderings. Whatever may
be Mr.. Parker's virtues as an individ-
ual, politically he isn't our "huckle-
berry" as we most earnestly protest
against the prevalence Of the princl-
pies of the parties whose candidate he
is and whose principles he would be
morally bound to champion in the
halls of Congress should ne DC eiecteu
to fill seat in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes. We would also suggest to
the Greenbaeker that Hon. Il. l..
Humphrey is all that can be claimed
for Mr.. Parker as a man, and in fideli'
ty to principle, ability and political
consistency, vastly his superior; be-
sides, Judge Humphrey stands pledged
to the support of principles which we
cherish-Mr. Parker stands pledged to
their oyerthrnws we have faith in the
pledges of BOTH and now does the
Greenbacker see why we support
Humphrey rather than Parker, not
withstanding the personal worth that
| may be possessed by the latter. which
| is in no sense greater than that OF
| Judge Humphrey.

In consequence of the clamor now
being made against national banks the
First National Bank of Sparta has de-
posted legal tenders with the Comp
troller of the Currency for the redemp-
ton of its notes, withdrawn it's bonds,
and gone into the banking business
under the State banking laws. The

forced contraction of the currency
to the amount of the notes of this
bank-less its notes outstanding, have
not reduced the interest on bonds one

MEETING OF THE TEACHERS Ii =
BRARY ASSOCIATION.

We cannot announce in full the pro-
gramme of the meeting at River Falls
one week from next Saturday, but
enough issknown to insure the most
interesting and profitable meeting yet
held. Two appointed will give the
best books for teachers reading in
different lines of work. The trite
subject of arithmetic will be presented
in one of its aspects. Music will be
ably treated. One standard American
author will be reviewed. Let every
teacher within days drive attend If
he neglects every other means of i'm
provement during the winter. Few
teachers have any definite idea of the
best books TO read, or of systematic
reading. Come and get information
that will help you to spend your time
profitably.
