THE NORMAL.

We occupy considerable space to-day
with matter pertaining TO the Normal
school and lay copies ofthe paper before
members of the legislature, supposing
they will desire whatever information
can be obtained on the subject. The
articles are all brief. and will bear per
usal.
No people regret the necessity of ask
ing the State TO rebuild the institution
more than we do, but there is no way
out OF the difiiculty. but to lay the mat
ter before the legislature. We want an
appropriation because We know it will
pay the State TO make il. The school
belongs to the educational system
adopted at first as much as any other IN
stitutiOn, and has done its work well
and efficiently. It's benefits are but In
their infancy, but they have been felt In
almost every quarter of the State.
II has been attended by scholars from
Doniphan, Summer, Bourbon and Dick
inson counties, and not graduate, or a
student for any length of time, but
what has exerted beneficial influence
ON the common schools. Every one OF
its graduates to-day who is teaching are
holding first-class places. and their
efficiency is everywhere felt and &C
knowledged.
Had the school not been stricken
down in 1876, when it was making the
most satisfactory progress, and had moi
the following misfortunes Overtaken it.
there would to-day be four to five hund
red students receiving its benefits. We
urge the legislature Ia again put 1t in
possession of its building, and this we
believe will be the last money the institu
ton will ever ask for, because it will be
enabled TO run upon its endowment fund
Which, by the time the building is erect
ed, will be sufficient TO pay its annual
expenses. We are satisfied that no in
vestment the State can make will IN
ure more TO the benefit of common
school education than the rebuilding OF

BLAINE ON JOHN CHINAMAN.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24-The Tribune
today published a lengthy and very
strong letter from Senator Blaine, in re-
ply to some recent reflections of William
Lloyd Garrison upon the senators who
voted for the Chinese bill, in which he
not only defines his own position, and
why he voted tor the bill. but gives a
good deal OF statistical and other infor-
nation regarding the way Chinese are
brought to this country, but how they
live after getting here, and what effect
and influence they exert upon labor and
life in the Pacific states and territories,
and what the result will he in the future
Of unrestricted immigration of the Mon
golian race to this country. The follow
ing paragraphs show some of the sena-
tors argument:
If Mr.. Garrison thinks the interests of
his own cOuntrymen, his own govern
ment, and in a still larger sense, the in
terests of humanity and civilization, will
be promoted by giving up the Pacific
coast to Monaghan labor, beg respect
fully, but firmly, to differ from him.
There is no ground on which we are
bound to receive them to our own detri-
ment. Charity Is the first of christian
graces, but Mr.. Garrison would not feel
Obliged to receive in his own family a
person that would be likely to physical
" cOntaminate or morally corrupt his
children. AS with q family, so with u
| nation. The Outcry that we are violating
our treaty obligations is without any
foundation. The article on emigration
in the treaty has not been observed by
China for single hour since it was made.
All the testimony taken on the subject,
and it has been full and copious, shows
conclusively that the entire emigration
l WAS uunder contract ~ that the CO0l1ps
had been gathered together for export
| gathered Is agents in our western states
would gather live stock for shipment.
This Chinese question connects itself in
timstely and inseperably with the labor
question. Their immigration is encour-
aged by some openly and others secretly
because their labor is cheap. The expert
ment Is most dangerous one In Repub-
lie where the man who works carries q
ballot in his hand 1t will not do for
icapataliZed wealth TO legislate for cheap
labor. We do not want cheap labor; We
do not want dear labor; we want labor at
fair rates-at rates that shall give the
lsborer his fair shares, and capitalists q
fair share. If more is sought by capital
less will in the end be realized. There

TALNAGE ON THE COUNTRY.-Tal-
mage, while he pitches into the vices of
large cities, wishes country villages TO
understand that he doesn't consider them
any better, as general thing, than their
bigger brethren. In his sermon last
Sunday morning, he said: THE city is
no worse than the country. The vices of
the metropolis are more evident than the
vices in the rural districts, because there
are more people to be bad if they wish
to be. The merchant is as good as the
farmer. There is no more cheating in
town than out oftown; it is only on
larger scale. The countryman prevari-
Gates about the age of horse he sells, or
the size of the bushel with which he
measures the grain, and to as bad an ex-
tent as the merchant ever prevaricates
about calicoes or hardware. AS to vii
lagos, in some respects they are worse
than cities, for they copy their vices.
The heaven of gossip is country viii
lage. There are always in the village q
half dozen women who have their sun
bonnets hanging near, so that at the first
item of news derogatory to their neigh
bors, they can fly out and cackle it all
over the neighborhood. Countrymen
must not be too hard in their criticisms
nor must the pillow run too sharply
against the yardstick. Y. World.

AMONG THE SCHOOLS.

FRUITLAND, Kas., February 10, 1879.
The county superintendent of public
instruction, Prof. o. 3. Wharton, made
our school district q visit to-day. He
was invited TO come to the school
house in the evening and meet the pat
rons of the school and give us his views
of conducting a school Mr.. c. +. Mes
bit, the teacher, sent word to all he could,
and notwithstanding the short notice,
there was large attendance. Mr.. and
Mrs. Drake brought their organ, and in
company with Mr.. Nesbit gave US several
good pieces of music. Mr.. Nesbit read
an essay on the duty of the teacher and
then made short address on the same.
Prof. Wharton then arose and made quite
a good speech, giving US several new
ideas. His idea of doing away with
the several district schools and having
only one graded school in each congress
sional township is good one; and when
this state is more settled up we predict
it will be adopted. He gave US several
more new ideas, but we cannot now note
them. Messrs. VIM. Harvey and John
Perry also gave us short speeches. Nath-
an Beals gave quite description of the
old school house where he went to school
when boy in old Tennessee. 1t was
built of logs, was about 16x1S and for
windows it had pieces of the logs sawed
off and creased paper pasted over the
holes, the seats u.re merely slabs with
sticks in them ia EGGS and were very
high. so tn ! : Ae little scholars sus-
pended betass-n n aven and earth and
in one cornei 81 .ie room there was loi
of "gads." 1t was quite contrast to the
schools of the present day.
Prof Wharton on the next day visited
the Vickers school on the reserve. We
have not heard his report of that school
vet, but as Miss Jennie Stanley is teacher
of coure his report will be good.
