Grove Lake Select School,
GROVE LAKE, POPE COUNTY MINI
Prof. D. J.. Cogan, Principal.

This school was established to meet want
OF our time and country. 1t is intended tor
young men, who will consider that time is
money, where they can get "va lie received. "
1t Is intended to impart thorough education
in the shortest possible time and at the least
expense. Five months is equivalent to two
years IN other institutions, owing to the pc
cullarity OF the system pursued Only a
limited number of boys can be received, and
they must be at least IA years of age. No
classes are had, but each boy studies alone
and receives individual attention; grown
boys, therefore, are not obliged to enter classes
with the smaller boys.
The school is removed from all sources OF
temptations and distractions OF town. being
fourteen miles from the village of Sank Cen
tire. Mimi, on the branch line OF the St.
Paul & Pacific railroad.
Exercises commence at six o'clock a. M,
and end at $50 p. III. including the necessary
time for recreation and gymnastic exercises.
at the end OF each term public examina-
ton is held, the superintendent OF public
schools OF adjoining counties being examin-
ers, and premiums and diplomas are awarded
to deserving pupils.
Written examinations are held every Sat
urday in review Of the weeks work, and one
hour in each week is devoted to social and
on business letters and business forms.
Every Saturday evening instructions on
social etiquette and how to act in company
are given, each boy in turn introducing and
receiving the students as visitors.
Eight of my pupils are now successful
teachers. The grand distinctive feature of
this school is, that boys time is always en-
plcyed so that he can learn all he is able to
learn; that he is not obliged to wait for any
other boy; that the whole day is one continual
class hour, and professor is always on hand.
The school is under the supervision of a
committee OF learned gentlemen; Dr. Palmer,
Dr. McMasters, A. NJ, Hon. A Barto, EX-
Lieutenant Governor, Hon. Joseph Capser,
Ex-State Senator, and E. Barnum, Esq. OF
Sank centre.

BANK NOTES AND cREENBAcks

The New York "Tribune," which
assumes to be the Heading newspaper
of the United States, and which is
supposed to have circle of intelli-
gent, it not honest readers, lately un.
dertook to show the s'misapprehen.
sions" of those who insisted that the
substitution of greenbacks for bank
notes would be a saving d taxes to the
people. Why, says the Tribune" if
the government should compel the
banks to sell 0e bonds now deposited
by them it Would still be necessary
to pay the very same sum as interest
to those who might buy the bonds. -
True; but what fool has ever asserted
that that transaction would save the
people any interest! What possible
difference does it make to the people
whether Jones or Smith owns gov.
eminent bond, provided only that
Jones and Smith are both citizens of
the United States. It makes no diff
ference either whether the bonds are
held by farmer, a merchant, a bank
Ell or a cobbler, so far as the interest
is concerned and their cost to the
people.
What we insist upon is, that the
bank notes must be retired, and that
congress shall authorize the issue of
at least an equal amount OF new
greenbacks to take place i'll the chan
nelS OF business Of the bank notes thus
retired, and that in putting these new
greenbacks afioat an equal amount of
bonds shall be paid off and burnt up.
Wnn;t Io
bond
The Tribune" says:
1.-The beginning and end of that
matter is, that the government has
borrowed money from the banks and
pays interest on it. The government
needed money; sthe people who orga-
niZed national banks had money; and
the government borrowed from them,
gave them its bonds, and pays it's in
terest for their money loaned"
What kind of money did the gov
eminent borrow of the banks
Greenbacks. Who made the green
bachs-where cid they come from
The government made them. Then
why, we ask, did not the government
make some more if it needed them,
instead OIL making bonds and borrow.
ing back those it had already made
If it had made more greenbacks it
would have had no need to borrow
and consequently it need not to have
made the bonds. Is it answered that
the making and issuing of more green
backs would have unduly inflated the
currency 1t is not true; for did not
the government issue its bonds and
then issue to the owners of those
bonds a large volume of bank notes for
circulation I If further issue OF
greeEbacks would have been "infa.
ton why was not the addition of
bank notes Imitation, tooi
But the "Tribunee further says:
IF the government issues all the
currency the borrower would have to
go to bank and pay interest for
money just as now True, perhaps;
but the borrower would not be taxed
to pay interest npon the bankers,
bonds deposited to secure his bank
notes. The banker would then lend
greenbacks, and he couldn't get hold
of greenbackS to lend unless he gave
something for them. Just as every
other citizen does.-Indianapolis Sun.

NOTHING MORE truly notes the gradual
approach of better times than the in
creased activity in the iron market.
We learn from the Iron Age, which is
good authority on that branch of our
industries, that at this late season OF
the year when falling off in the de
mand for iron might naturally b. ex
pect-d. the business continues active,
with evidences OF desire to purchase
somewhat in excess of the offerings
Amongst the recent orders are $500
tons of steel rails tor Missouri delivery,
1000 for Baltimore, 1900 tons for New
York and 1000 for New England, and
the gratified concession is made that
the manufacturers of steel rails have
now on their books for delivery in 1879
orders for over 100000 tons, enough to
keep all the manufacturers Of steel
rails employed until the' warm season
sets fully in.

II will bs noticed that in all the de
fences made of the South in the init
IN idatiOn Of voters there is scarcely any
denial of it, indeed in many instances
the frauds that have been committed
have been admitted, and vet there is a
persistent effort made by the partisan
Democratic press to designate the feel,
ing which dominates at the North a.
sectional, purposely ignoring the fac,
that the southern disfranchisements
effect the whole nation. They do not
effect to See that the wrong done to the
sacredness of the ballot is not SO much
wrong to the negro, though that is
great enough, as it is wrong upon the
people of the north. The weakness of
the Democratic side is shown by no at
tempt being made to disprove what
Senator Blaine showed in his speech
last week in the Senate, as to show or
try to make the people believe that i:
was caused by sectional animosity.
The Charleston Journal comprehends
the import of the controversy more ac-
curately than most of its neighbms.
The underlying issue is, as it admits,
national, not sectional. For their own
purposes, Southern politicians will
continue to describe the feeling Of
which Mr.. Blaines resolution is an ex-
preston as sectional. They pretend to
consider the South aggrieved becaufe
their own mode of acquiring partisan
ascendency is to be exposed. Accord
ing to their version of the case the
North war tonly assails the South and
aims at bringing it into subjection. The
pretense is too transparent to deceive.
All the sectionalism that is involved is
on the side of the South, or rather of
the Democratic politicians who speak
and act in its name. Their claim, if it
were allowed to stand, would invest
the South with right to trample on
the privileges of very large body Of
its citizens, to disregard its Federal oh
legations, to defy Federal authority and
to retain disproportionate share Of
Congressional representation as a re-
suit of its malpractic-s. Instead Of
seeking sectional advantages, the Re-
publican Party, speaking for the North,
protests against its being a sufferer
from sectional arrogance and wrong
doing. The pret4hsions it denounc-s
and offences are against the national
authority and welfare; the sole object
of the remedial measures which, in due
time, will be suggested is to insure
equal protection to all citizens and an
equal apportionm-nt Of representative
power. The contest is between the ma
tionalisln of the Repu blcan Party ard
the sectonalism to which the Democra-
cy owes its majority in Congress.

THE Philadelphia Evening Bulletin ir
speaking of the Edmund's electoral bill
says the general opinion seems to be
that the Democrats who opposed it did
so It because they perceived want d
merit in the measure, out because
while it appears upon the surface to he
a good thing, the Democrats fear that
such measure coming from a Repub.
lican, mast contain a hidden trick OF
some kind. The Washington Star r.
peats that this s the feeling at the cap.
ital: "But just in proportion as the bill,
seems attractive, in that proportion the
Democrats are inclined to SUSPECT d
trick" Senator Bayard, man WIT
has sense and Conscience in his percep-
tive ability, supported the mea5ure.-
The Democrats who opposed it have,
probably with good reason, less faith IN
their intellectual power. But if all
good meas sures introduced to Congress
by Republicans are to be defeated be
cause the comprehension of the Demo
cratic delegations is limited, what hope
is there that anything of importance
can be done

Our state.
The Legislature of this State viii
meet on the first Tuesday in January.
After the election of Speakers in each
branch, and other necessary officers,
the last annual message of Governor
% Cochran will be- read, and the work ol
legislation will commence. There will
be very little business i'll readiness, We
presume, and therefore persons wishing
to procure the passage of any act, for
any purpose, should have the neces-
sary bill prepared, SO that the time at
the beginnin of the session may not
be passed in idleness, or in waiting for
business, as is usually the case id the
beginning of the session, while towards
its close there is more work to 90 than
can be readily disposed of before the
proper time for adjournment arrives,
and the session is unnecessarily pro-
longed.
On the 2lst of January the Governor
elect will be inaugurated, and this cere-
mony will be followed with grand
bali. OF course the party magn ttes
will be happy, and all will go nerrily
as a marriage bell.
Every member of the Legislature be-
longs to the Dsmocr attic party, but We
trust that all will be actuated by prin-
ciple and not by mere partizar feeling
aId that the aim will be to promote the
public welfare and not merely to in
sure the ascendaucy OF party.
One of the first matters that should
claim attention is the law in reference
to the assessment and collection of tax
es. 1t is unj ust to throw the entire
burden of supporting the government
upon property holders Every man
should be required to contribute his
Just proportion thereto, and Democrats
as well as Republicans will soon de
mand the requisite legislation to secure
this end.
There should also be a law enacted
providing for the employment of va
grants instead of sending them to jail
aud keeping them in idleness. They
should be made to mend the roads, un-
less better system of employment can
be devised Criminals should also be
employed in some manner, even if the
county or State Treasury should not
profit thereby. The retention of men
in idleness is wrong toward them and
wrong to the community at large.
W. also want in Wilmington House
OF Correction. or a Retormatory School
to prevent the tendency to yagrancy,
pauperism and crime.
There .hould also be some mode de-
vised to settle more summarily petty
cases of larceny as well as punish va
grants. 1t would be better to say TWEEN
ty OF thirty days Of hard labor on the
streets, if we cannot have work
house, than to commit to prison to
await the session Of the court.
There are too many petty cases in
our courts, and we need some rad cal
change for the good Of the criminal as
we'll az for the benefit of the community y
at large.

The ONLY QUESTION which Seemed to
create any dlscL sion Of moment in
the lower House Of Congress thus far
worthy of special note, was that con-
tanned in bill introduced by Wes-
tern member to grant American Regis
ters to foreign vessels, which would de-
stroy the domestic monopoly of the
coasting and internal trade. The
measure is understood to be engineered
by the agents of British capitalists,
vessel owners and shipbUiders. In
the House, this bill was referred to the
Committee on Commerce, which will
report it favorably, and az the Free
Trade Tariff bill was killed in the
House Oh a final vote last session, this
job will take its place in the affections
of the Free-1raders. 1t can only be
beaten on a square vote. Should it
become law it would ruin the ship
building interests of the country, with
benefting our people or our com
in any way.
