Elliott graduated at Duo West with
tho highest honors, and passed most
1attcrins examination before the
County Board of Examiners.
1t Is needless to urge upon the p2o-
pic OF Winnsboro the imp,rsa.lce OF
maintaining this school. F,r eight
months an average Of one hundred and
fifty pupils have been instructed in the
full public school course at all cxpcndi-
ture of only one thousand and forty
dollars, OF which the public fund paid
six hundred and fifty, the Peabody
trustees three hundred, and the citizens
ninety. In other words, this instruc-
ton has cost the people of Winnsboro,
directly and indirectly, only seven
hundred and forty dollars, or about
ilvc dollars per scholar. Under the old
system the tuition fees of this number
OF pupils would have been at least
twenty-scvcn hundred and fifty dol
lars-a saving to the parents of tao
Mo"Sond dollars in eight months.
While all pupils have been taught
much more chcaply, number have
been able to attend regularly the free
school, who could not otherwise have
been educated.
An additional advantage Of having
good school in town is that it attracts
pupils from other places, and every
one SO brought gives additional impc-
tus to trade, which in tho aggregate
amounts yearly to considerable sum.
In order to maintain the school
properly. it was agreed ut a meeting
OF the Mount Zion Society and the
citizens to petition for the erection 0
new school district two miles each
way from the courthouse. with the
privilege of levying moderate local
tax.
Colonel Rion also very generously
offered the free use of his admirably
lifted Kindergarten school for
certain classes. But as this was
somewhat inconvcnicntly situated in
regard to the College, it was thought
octtcrto put up additional classroom
at the College, SO as have all the
pupils together. If nothing prevent
this addition will soon be made. The
school will run four weeks and
then a Christmas vacation Of three
weeks will be given.

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1878-10-30

A Scandinavian makes an earn
est appeal in the St. Peter Tribune
to his countrymen to stand by the
Republican nominee for congress.
He says:
'EThc selection Of a man to repre-
sent us in congress is something
more serious than the choice of a
town supervisor, and I am afraid all
do not consider its Importance at
this time.
First in Importance, to my mind,
Is the payment Of the rebel war
claims. We know that our enemies
mean to have them paid. and we
know that Hon. Strait will never
vote for them, but we are afraid Mr..
Poehler will vote as his party orders
him, no matter what his intentions
may now be. shall not trust him.
Second. There is a great deal
said about Hon. Strait not giving
Scandinayians offices enough. 1
have not kept q strict account Of
the number app rtioned to my coun.
trymen, but [ think we have had SO
near our share that we cannot well
complain.

An Explanation Wanted.

Henry Pehler, democratic candi.
date for congress in this district, was
nominated upon hard-money plat
form, and, besides being bank
cashier, was generally understood to
be hard-money man first, last, and
all the time. OF late he has been
making advances to the so-called
greenback party, and the convention
held in Redwood county on the 10Th
inst. unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution:
WHEREAS, The national green.
back party has no candidate for re-
preventative to congress in the Sec
.ond congressional district; and
WHEREAS, The Hon. Henry Pph-
ler,in his letter to Mr.. Cook, has full.
" endorsed the principles that the
greenback party advocate; there.
fore
Resolued, That we endorse the
Hon. Henry Poehler and RECON-
mend him to the support Of the
greenback party of Redwood Co.
1t is certainly due the democratic
hard-money men Of the district that

The Greenback Senatorial conven.
ton for this district was held at
Redwood Falls on the 22d inst. and
nominated Ener Birum, Of Yellow
Medicine county, in opposition to
Hon. K. Fl. Helling, the Republi-
can candidate. Mr.. Birum, like Mr..
Helling, is a Norwegian and lives on
a homestead near Candy. The fol-
lowing from the Redwood Gazette:
Mr.. Birum was formerly, and for
many years, a resident Of Redwood
Falls and always regarded as good
citizen. His nomination for the
Senatorship is doubtless surprise to
many. We judge that in the for.
lorn hope connected with the nomi-
nation, may be found the reason for
some Of the aspiring politicians Of
the party stepping aside. We re-
gard Mr.. Birum as victimized in the
house of his friends and we regret it.

Ny countrymen! has it come to
pass that Office is all we are to think
of that our craving must be salts
fed to the sacrifice Of everything
else! that Office comes first and our
adopted country last? | am ashamed
to think that such spirit is mani.
tested while on every hand the enc
my is pressing us.
Third. You say Hon. Strait has
held his Office long enough. We
know that he was nominated almost
without opposition. We joined in
his selection as our leader, and shall
we now quarrel about thate It is too
late to turn back. But if we
should turn back could we do better!
IF we have no better reason to give
than that he has been IN long enough
we are foolish to mention it. In our
native country we know officers are
selected solely on account Of their
qualifications, and we should be sur
prised to see them turned out as soon
as they had learned to do their du-
ties well. It is frivolous to give such
reason. Hon. Strait can with ex-
perience do better for us than a new
man. Whatever others do let us not
set the example Of rushing widely,
madly, insanely around in scram-
BILE for Office. We are not ignored
look about you and see if we ought

what can Mr.. Poehler do for US! Alb

Of this great Republic if every body
runs wildly in search Of office! Let

TO the Editor Of the Pioneer Press:

To the Editor Of the Pioneer Press:
If we are to have new member
Of congress from the Third district,
in the person of Gen. Washburn,
and in the place of DR.. Stewart, let
us by all means retain Strait to re-
present the Second district. We
who live up here in the northern part
Of the State want good, reliable
man in Washington, who is famili-
ar with the business of the different
departments, and particularly with
the pension bureau. One who has
learned by experience how to attend
promptly to his constituents, and
knows exactly what is necessary to
be done to procure the payment Of a
pension for an old soldier, and takes
pleasure in doing it.
1t would take a new and inexperi.
enced man at least one session to
become acquainted with the heads of
the different bureaus, and of the
manner of doing business in the de.
partments, to say nothing Of his to-
tai ignorance Of his immediate du.
ties as member of congress. To
such a man as that it would be very
unsatisfactory to write with the
hope of getting any matter properly
attended to. Dunnell seems totally
absorbed in the interests of his i'm
mediate constituents of the First
district. Window and Mcmillan
would both think it beneath their
senatorial dignity to hammer away,
as is necessary, at a pension or sett.
ler's claim before the pension or land
office, and Stewart being about to
step down and out, our only reliance
is in Strait. CoUNrRYMAN.

MAJOR II. B. STRAIT.

Minnesota never had more ac-
tive or efficient member of con-
gress in all measures of practical u
tility to his constituents than Major
Strait. He is not a talker but he is
a busy and diligent worker; and he
not only watches every chance to
serve his constituents on the floor of
Congress, and:in the committees, and
in the departments, but he is so
persevringiand vigilant that he rare.
y undertakes anything which he.
does not press to a successful con-
summation. He has made himself
SO popular with the members of both
parties that he is always sure of the
friendly cooperation Of multidute
of friends in pushing through meas
ures for the benefit Of his constitu-
ents and Of the State at large. The
series OF valuable measures which he
introduced and pressed to final pas
sage for the benefit of the frontier
settlers of the State shows how
watchful he is of their in terests and
how efficiently he serve them. The.
important amendments he has Sc.
cured to the homestead laws and to
the timber culture act, which in it's
present liberal shape was introduced
by him the bill for grasshopper re-
lief and a number of others all illu-
strate the vigilence and earnestness
with which he looks after the inte-
rests of his constituents, and entities
him to the designation by which he
is known throughout the district as
''the Frontier Settlers Friend He
is entitled, too, to the special favor
Of the Irish voters of his district for
the manly way in which he stood up
for Gen. Shields at the last session
Of congress. When that distinguish.
ed patriot and warrior, covered with
the scars of his many battles for his
country, but now poor, was a candi.
date for ali Office in congress, whose
salary would have lifted him above
want, Major Strait was one of those
who rallied to the support of the gall
liant old general, and when he was
defeated by Democratic votes for
that position, Major Strait voted to
give him a liberal pension for life.
Gen. Shields was once resident of
Major Straits district, and there
are hundreds of Irishmen in Rice.and
other counties who will remember
the gray-haired veteran, once Unit
ed States senator from this State,
and they will gratefully remember
the efforts Of Major Strait to secure
for him from Congress grateful re-
cognition Of his patriotic services.
Major Straits experience and long
acquaintance in Washington rend-
ers him ten times more able to serve.
his constituents than any new man,
like Mr.. Pehler would be, however
good his intentions. It would take
several years of service in congress
to qualify Mr.. P@hler for the depart
mental, legislative and committee
work in which Major Strait has &C.
qulred large experience or to make
the wide acquaintance with con
gressmen and department. officers
which has served SO useful purpose
to Major Strait in enabling him to.
meet the wants and wishes of his
constituents. Major Strait should
be elected by a large majority.-Pio-
