The proposed retirement OF Miss
Curtiss and Prof. Earthman from the
teaching force of the Normal School.
as noticed by the JOURNAL last week,
has been the topic of conversation and
the cause of no little excitement
among our villagers. The patrons OF
the primary department over which
Miss Curtiss has presided during tho
past three years, are nearly unanimous
in declaring that, unless she is retain
ed, they will withdraw their support
from the Normal. Should they adhere
to this resolution-and the prospect is
favorable in that direction-the sue
cessor of Miss Curtiss will have an eX-
ceedingly easy time.
In the case of Prof. Farthman, both
the Normal students and our citizens
are indignant over the treatment he
has received. One member of the
committee who visited here last week
is especially blamed for trying to force
upon the board the so-called "cheap-
teacher" policy, which, in this en-
lightened age, is looked upon with con-
tempt and ridicule by even the back
woods districts. Whether such poll
cy will prevail with the Board of Re-
gents, remains to be seen.

Some of our young men attended the sale
of pictures at River Falls on Saturday last
and were much pleased with their purchases,
which looks as if they meant business.
We have investigated the matter very care
fully and have come to the conclusion that
there is not a man in the town willing to sac
rifice his personal ease for the benefit OF the
county this fall. 1t really is to bad.

Absolute CreenbaCkS,

WHAT IS MONEY! 1t is the thing which THE
LAW declares to be money, be it gold silver, cep-
per, iron, wood, land, paper or labor The law car
declare that we must pay dollars worth of gold,
silver, wheat or labor, and we must obey the law.
We have peck, or about quarts of Silver coin
from the United States Mint When we 20 TO pay
debt of five dollars, this coin is money. If we
wish to pay six dollars of debt it is not money
we cannot compel creditor to take !. five owe
a man $4,000 we can pay him Ia greenbacks 5,
which are money, because the law ssys so. Now,
we demand that every U. s. Bond be paid at
once in this greenbaek lawful money, that II Ase
Bonds may no more suck away the life of the
people to pay interest.
Why pay interest on Bonds2 Who is benefited
by such robbery? The untaxed rich. Who arc
robbed The oyertaxed poor.
REMEMBER THESE TRUTHs. Labor creates
wealth. Men create laws. Law creates money
and whatever the law says is money must be
money, and whatever the law says is not money
| is not money; exactly as greenback dollar Ii
money and silver trade dollar is not money
Gold and silver cannot be money till the Law
makes them So When it says they ar,
not money, then they not money, Therefore
the law can create and destroy money, as men ear
create aud destroy wealth,

The Temperance Tent Meeting

The ST. Croix District Convention OF Good
Templars held at Hammond last week, was
in many ways an extraordinary occasion.
The grand lodge of Wisconsin have recently
purchased canvass tent which will hold
about 500 persons, to be used in great field
meetings throughout the state. This was
the occasion of its dedication to temperance
and templary. The audiences were very
large, and were gathered from all parts oil
the St. Croix Valley. Distinguished persons
were present not only from distant states but
also from England. II was especially pleas
ant to see and hear the Grand Worthy Chief
Templar Of Great Britain and Ireland, DIR.
+. r. Less. OF London. He is scientist and
author of worldwide repute. HIS work en-
titled ssThe Chemistry Of Alcohol is said to
have rare value, and "The Temperance Bible
Commentary which he prepared in con-
junction with Dawson Burns, is acknowl-
edged as remarkable both in its thorough
ness and candor. He is charming speaker
as well as writer.
Another guest and speaker from England,
was the r. w. G. Counsellor of the r. w Ct.
Lodge OF the world, Rev. Stephen Todd, Of
Liverpool; He is strong man in every re-
spect, and will always be heard with pro-
found attention
From our own country.T. ID. kanouse, who
though of our own State is the official head
of the order in the world, and several of the
Grand Lodge officers OF Wisconsin, several
persons OF MaTk were present. lneFt were
Mr.. and Mrs. Bro0kbank, OF Jacksonville.
Ind Mrs. b. is the r. W. q. v. T. of the
K. W. g. Lodge of the world. Her musical
talent contributed to the interest OF the occa-
sion. There was also A. S. Draper. g. w.
Chief OF the state of N. Y. He is leading
lawyer of Albany, and his addresses showed
his lawyer training Mrs. Jennie 4. Park,
g. w. Y. T. of New York, was also present.
She recited ssThe Wreck OF the Schiller with
telling effect. The q. w. G. OF Connecticut.
Rev. .. j. Range, Of Essex, will never be for
gottenby those WHO heard his speech at this
convention. He had evidently been to Camp
Meetings before. The G. w. v. T. Of Rhode
Island was also present and delighted all by
reading selection ss,rhe Charcoal Man''with
consummate skill.
The meetings, except the first one, were
held with open doors. Ii is believed this
gathering greatly advanced the cause of tenn
perancein the st. Croix Valley. Con-.

EsDAILE. -ALERr's LAST POEM.

1t happened in Esdaile short time ago
While some of the boys were gone to the show.
That a fire broke out in Bensonis block,
In one of the buildings, right at the top.
The first that awakened was Charley, the Swede,
Who thought, of course, his help they would need;
He started with his might, yelping fire,
The people thought he was a yendue crier.
W. L. CRANE was the next that awoke;
He thought to himself that the mill dam had broke.
Walt. tripped along on his own little feet.
Scarcely knowing whether he was awake OF. asleep.
And now comes Slayton, l hate to tell,
But he was the man that rang softly the bell,
For the people thought, they lay in their beds,
That some one was sick, or else they were dead.
Captain jennings was the last to get up;
He tried with his pail the fire to stop;
His subs. wouldn't mind him, the Cap. shook his
head
And very soon after he took to his bed
A. B. Lusk came next on the scene.
He says he didn't want to act stupid or green,
So he raised up hts foot and kicked in the door;
He was then the head clerk in SaInuel's store.
Charles Betcher was so much awake and asleep
That he gently fell over Pete Courtland's feet;
He said to the boys: "You are really brave fellows
For you have saved me about five hundred dol
lars.'
The alarm and confusion raised the treasurer, Bill
Who gently come tumbling from old Sweeney's
hill.
He rushed to the spot and pulled off his coat,
Then into the garrett his head he did poke.
Now, my friends, don't laugh at this effusion Of
mine,
1t being the first have written in my life time.
will stick to the facts, be they word or letter,
And what other poet can YOU find that will dc
better.

Among the thousand-and- i'm
provements of the past tenyears, none
stands higher with the builders and
painters than that of mixing and pre-
pairing paints for the brush. Too often

durability. The Chicago Enamel
Paints, manufactured by A. FL. Holden
i Co.. of Chicago, combine durability
with cheapness. They are composed
of strictly pure white lead, without

pressed linseed oil. and other materi-
ais adding to their durability and
strength, and are ready for use from
the cans in which they are furnished.
