We copy elsewhere letter from the
distinguished poet james G.. Clark, AT
thor Of the Evergreen Mountains of
Life" "Leona,'''~ aud many other ia
nous songs. This letter was written
to the Chicago Inter- Ocean zsnd pub.
$lished IN that paper. and we5must ex-
press out qualification thatit has the
fairness to publish anything whatever
on the other side, for it has manifested
special zeal in ridiculing Spiritual'sm.
This is just a. it should be. Tie news
papers, Of all influences, ought to be
free and fair. The pulpits. the church.,
e., the religious papers, are all one-sid-
ed, and generally bitter aud unjust TO-
everything which does not agree with
their little Theology. The secular
press at least ought to be kept free and
open, to give both sides a bearing. It
is not the province Of q secular paper
to advocate any form of religion or any
creed, but it ought to be fair toward all.
Yet there are leading newspapers which
publish columns and even pages Of SER
mons, Alled with stale theology and the
fiattest platitude, tickling the. vanity
and strengthening the influence Of the
clergy, who will not publish anything
on the other side unless under protest
and with contemplate excuses for 30
doing.
We publish this communication from
Mr.. Clark because Of all the mass of
books, papers, communications, ETC.,
which we have read upon Spiritualism,
we never before found one which 80 ex-
actly and fully and yet 30 directly and
briefly expresses our own views upon
the subject. We have several times
endeavored to give our views among
the ignorant bigots about Worthington,
but they have thrown dust in the air,
put their hauds upon their ears and
rushed upon Us crying, ''away with
yOu!' AWAY with youl''
We now say to our friends it any oil
them wish to know our views of Spirit
ualism, they will find them expressed
to the very jot and little in this letter
from Mr.. Clark.

we'll aware, took but little stock in any
Tux ring Of the currency or any meas
ures which Congress could devise for

lands, prosperity would return upon =

The promise now is q magnificent

who has been travelling over the west,
to show the immense area sown to

through Chicago and was interviewed

are ten acres of spring wheat sown to

MINNESOTA.
A gentleman informs us that the
ADVANCE reply to the Cleveland Her
aids. sheer ut Minnesota is going The
grand rounds of the eastern papers.
We are glad that the papers east are be-
ginning to recognize the fact that Min
nesota is south Of Alaska and that there
are no white bears to be found in our
woods. A few years ago a man froze
to death in Washington county. The
fact WIS published in an eastern paper
and another paper copied it and chang
Ell the county and so on until they had
the poor fellow frozen to death half a
dozen times in as many different coun.
ties.
The ADVANCE has frequently had
occas o. t. show the adva tageS Of Min.
nesota over most of the Western
States. We lay i good deal of stress
upon her magnificent climate and l.er
immense reach of prairie and wood
land, comprising some 81, 00O, 600 acres.
But Minnesota is much more than an
agricultural State. It is one of the
pivotal States of the continent, on
which the commerce of a vast area
must turn. Minnesota lies ut the head
OF the great lakes and of the MISSISSIPPI
pi River, the two great water ways of
the continent. In this it has vastly
the advantage of State like Kansas
which can never be a commercial cen.
tie. Besides Minnesota has about SO
rivers which furnish wafer power, and
must become one Of the great manu-
featuring States. St. Paul and Mime
apolis are already another Chicago and
will in due time rival that city in
wealth and population.

THE SCHOOL GUARDIANS.

Meeting Last Erentng-.E Estimates of En-
pe,ases for the Ensuing Year-Report
Of the Finance COmmittee-Resignd-
tions and Eiections-Repdirs asked
Ford Dignifed Member.
The Board of Education met last even
ing in regular session, President Eckel in
the chair.
The session was a marked one. On
account of report from the Finance
Committee not being adopted by the
Board, the chairman, Mr.. James Wool
ley, rises in the majesty of his dignity,
and not only resigns the chairmanship of
the committee, but resigns his seat as a
member of the Board.
The Finance Committee reported that
there was $24O in the hands of the City
Treasurer for school taxes collected for
the year 1878, and on motion of Mr..
James Wolley the proper officers were
directed to draw on that official for that
amount.
Mr.. Woolley, chairman of the commit
tee, stated that this being the last meet
ing of the Board previous to the meeting
of the City Council, in which the Board
was, by their charter, obliged to submit
to that body report of their estimates
for running the schools for the coming
year, the committee would make the fol
lowing report of the expenditures for the

the manufacturing interests of the coun-
try, and establish foreign markets for the
sale Of home products.
On the money question Col. Martin
iucldly explained the value, power and
uses OF money, showing that its main
power as measure of value was its in.
trnsie worth. On this account coin was
the real money of the nation, and paper
money was only valuable to the extent to
which IL could be converted iUto coin
DE reviewed the measures which resulted
In the issue Of the legal tender govern
ment notes, and said thatin his opinion
If they had been declared uncon-
siftutional at the time of their issue, the
decision would have settled the financial
question and resulted In the resumption
Of pecie payments. 'Il
In conclusion Col. Martin said that If
elected TO Congress he would be found in
the main voting with the Democrats on
all important questions. But he would
be happy to serve his Republican friends
also, as he hoped TO be- a representative
Of the whole people. His whole efforts If
elected, would be to sustain the high
reputation and honor of the State ofDela-
ware, and to contr butte to her advance
ment and the advancement of the whole
country. [Applause.l
RECEPTION OF THE VISITORS.
After the adjournment ofthe meeting
the visitors were rendered a compliment
tary reception by the Jefferson Demo
cratic Club, at the Club rooms, Seventh
and Market streets. The reception was
largely attended, and the visitors were
comfortably entertained during their
stay.
During the evenings a number of citi-
zens visited the rooms and paid their re-
spects to Senator salisbury and Messrs
Martin and Hall. The affair was much
enjoyed by all present, and reflected
liberality of the club.
