to all conversant with the facts to be wholly
false, and every man on the state committee
present knows that indianapolis democrats
differed on that subject as well as the others,
and that the influences inducing the call for
the convention were from the county
districts, and for supposed political reasons.
The Enquirer has persistently insisted that
the call for the convention was the work of
the indianapolis "ring." This the chairman
and members denounce as false. That work
was prepared by four or five members of the
committee, all living away from Indian
apolis, and we are informed that the call
was not seen by an indianapolis democrat
until completed. So much for PauPs state
ments and the Enquirer's cheeky meddling
with Indiana politics. Indiana leads the
democracy OF the north to victory, and we
are glad to see Ohio follow. We congratu-
late the Ohio democracy on the good judg-
ment they have shown in following the road
that the Indiana democracy has blazed out
for the relief and welfare of the whole
people, and we know they do not sympa-
thize with the Enquirer's meddling any
more than they do with the defeat of that
gallant old democrat, William Allen, by the
New York World and other eastern papers
who used their columns for that ignoble
purpose. Let the Enquirer look in that
eastern mirror to see the opinion Indiana
democrats have of it.

Spreading Manure i'm winter.
Country Gentleman.

Drawing and spreading manure has some
important advantages: 1. 1t saves labor in
handling but once. 2. 1t does not cut up
the soil with wagon wheels, the ground be-
ing frozen. 3. The first rains or thaws carry
the soluble parts into the soil, and they be-
come more thoroughly diffused than if the.
manure is spread in spring. As a general
rule it does best when applied to grass, 10 be
inverted for corn in spring, or to remain in.
Sod The rains do not carry off the soluble
and fertilizing parts, because as soon as it
rains the surface is thawed, and the soil alb
serbs these parts. Many years experience
has satisfied us practically on these points

THE LEADER ALMANAC CALENDAR.

With the present number the city
patrons Of the LEADER win receive the
LEADER almanac calendar for 1879;
copies Of the same will be mailed to
our patrons abroad during the coming
week.
A year ago the LEADER printing
company prepared a homemade calen-
dar, which proved acceptable and useful
to Its many friends. This year we de-
cided TO make use of the Bergen pat
ented almanac-calendar, which Is by
far the best and most convenient calen-
dar that has come to our notice. 1t Is
something new. and Is covered with i'm
portant data Of a scientific and astro-
nomical character, with list of church,
feast and fast days, legal holidays, etc.,
etc. In addition to the twelve monthly
sheets, the almanac-calendar contains
six pages replete with most valuable in
formation. 1t presents the statutes of
limitation of the several states as to
debts, actions, etc. interest laws; legis-
latures and elections; the shortest rail-
road and airline distances from New
York city to fifty principal cities Of the
Union, with time differences, latitude
and longitude, and population of the
same; also q complete digest of the
postal laws and regulations; and Hers
chefs weather table, for ~foretelling the
weather perpetually throughout all the
lunations Of the year.
The almanac-calendar Is the
LADDERS Christmas and New Years
present to its host Of patrons. While
its intrinsic value is but little, we be-
lieve 1t will prove a very useful and
convenient gift. Its typography Illus
trates the perfection Of the art; Its ar
rangement cannot be improved upon
for simplicity and clearness, while the
condensation OF astronomical, meteor
illogical and general information In the
space it occupies, is something wonder
full. 1t will be found invaluable in the
store and Office, and prove most service
able In the family.

Public School Matters.

In the LEADER, OF yesterdays date,
we published the following: 1--WE have
received a communication which severe
ly criticizes the management Of the
Cheyenne public school, but as the
writer thereof did not furnish his or
her name, the production cannot be
allowed a place in our columns"
At the urgent request Of Rev. j. Y.
Cowhick, superintendent Of schools,
and Prof. Stark, principal Of the public
school in this city, who together with
many friends Of the cause Of education
who are anxious to know the nature Of
the charges brought, we this morning
give them in brief:
The writer's first statement is to the
effect that pupils are not admitted to
the privileges Of the school rooms until
the second bell rings. II they arrive
there prior to that time they are forced
to stand out In the cold hall until it
does ring.
The second charge made Is that they
are not allowed to eat their dinner in
the school room, and are consequently
forced to 60 out of doors and eat, while
the dust and cold winds blow around
them. ~
The third feature Of the correspon-
dents communication consists of a
complaint that the compulsory educa-
ton law works a gross injustice to
parents who are too poor to purchase
books and suitable clothing for their
| children.
The LEADER having thus been re-
quested by some of the interested par
ties to publish the charges, feels justi-
fed in so doing, although the name Of
our correspondent is as yet unknown.
Prof. Stark called at this office yes
terday, and upon learning the nature of
the complaints brought against the
management of the school, stated most
distinctly that the several rooms of the
school building are thrown open every
morning at half past 8 O'Clock.
In regard to pupils being driven out
in the cold to eat, he unqualiiedly pro-
nounced the charge as n being with
out any foundation In fact.
As for the compulsory education law,
for which neither he nor his assistants
are responsible, the remedy, so far as
books are concerned, is open to all.
The law provides that money from the
school fund shall be used to provide the
children of the poor with the books
which they may require.
