1t is something 10 be able TO take sound and
common-sense view Of matters which at first may
appear to be of no importance. Professor GOldwln
Smith has written a serious letter to The Manchester
tTaniney about the attempt " TO tlunkeyze the New
World as he calls it, 10y which the Professor refers
TO tn edict issued by the Government of Canada
respecting loW-necked dresses to be worn by
the ladies at the Nice-Regal Drawing Room,
and the command that all should come Gin

horses and properly attred drivers" Professor
Goldwin Smith really regards this as designed " to

worship of MumbO Jumbo = aud Is most democrat
ieally ended thereat. One effect of this court
nonsense. he thinks will be " to intensity the
political antagOnism between Canada and the
American Republic" and TO the seeds
of future enmity between the people of the
United States and Canada" This view of the case
which may not have presented itself to many read
ers and really lends Importance to what might
otherwise be regarded as matter OF no' c0nse-
ouence Illus far, however, We can assure the
worthy Professor that no great Indignation has
been excited here by the cdicts of the Nicr-Rcgal
Court. Indeed it il to be feared that We have a
minority who regard this expectation OF court Gus
toms and costumes with perfect conpIacency /;
and though tn tho sensible majority of Americans
there NAV seem to be danger to republican lns-
tutions in low -necked dresses yet motives, which
are more than manners, are fully understood. The
straws are of no great weight, but they may show
how the wind blows.

paternal resolution He proposed that he Legisla-
tmre should he requested to authorize the expendi-
ture of 81, 100000, to be expended under the
supervision OF the Department of Public Parks.
Mr.. Reilly set forth the great distress prevailing
among the labOring pcOpe'Of New-l0rk City,
and argued that the expenditure would save them,
as he expressed it, from starvation Mr. Rcillys
benevOlence is not of course, for a moment to be
questioned but his ideas Of political economy, 1t Is
to be feared. are little dim. If ever any notion
thoroughly exploded, beyond all possible recon-
structou, il is this same notion that pauDerism can
be prevented by increasing the taxes; or this other,
that when money Is scarce III poor people )
pockets ii can be made to abound there, by setting
them to do work which is not absolutely necessary
and cOniisclting OthcrpeOples money to pa them
ior doing it, The idea is not by any means an
original one, and when reduced to practice has
always made bad matters worse. The reason why
50 many are out of employment is that there
Is simply nothing for them to do. Extem-
purlzng needless jobs may help them for a
time; and so will glass of brandy help headache,
though at the cost OF making many future head
aches certain. The million OF dollars proposed to be
expended parks will be 50 much actual wealth

YOUR LAST CHANCE.

The extraordinary advance in prices Of
almost every kind of merchandise, fol-
lowing so closely upon long period
when values have been depressed alb
normally, leads me to address you these
few lines.
Pig iron that we paid $500 per ton
for last year, is now scarce at 5000 per
ton, an advance of over one hundred and
ninety per cent. Whether the present
prices for materials can be maintained or
not, is subject on which opinions may
differ; but no one expects III many years
to come, to see prices as low as they have
been. This one fact must be apparent
to you, that we can not pay present pri-
ces, without considerable advance On
our selling prices beyond what they now
are. I have not, and do not now propose
to raise my prices to the standard Of
present prices of materials. Favorable
purchases made early in the season, per-
nit me now offering you my goods lower
than L shall be able to offer them if the
prices of materials remain where they
now are.
Stoves were thought to be very low
last year with pig iron at $17.00 per ton.
If now offer stoves as low or lower with
pig iron at $4,000 per ton it must be a
favorable time to buy.

FEoaI the report of Supt. Walker for
the school year ending August 31st, to
Mr.. Whitford We CLEAN the following
facts which will be of general interest to
our readers, as they aro matters with
which every one should be acquainted:
The number of children of school going
age in the county, 4. c., between the
ages Of 4 and 20, is 1920. Of this
number 1870 have attended school some
time during the year, little less than
one half. There are 10S school districts
in the county and 1877 teachers are re-
quired to teach the schools Of the coun-
ty. Twenty-three private schools have
reported, but this does not include the
whole number in the county. There are
no school houses or two more than the
number of districts. Two districts in the
county have purchased text books and
loan them to the pupils, both districts SO
doing are located in Kossuth. The av-
GRACE wages paid male teachers during
the year covered by the report is $;44. %;
female teachers $31.65. The total
amount received by the school districts
of the county for all purposes amounts
to SO, S67.54. The total amount paid
out for teachers wages is $40, 926.79, and
the amount paid out for all purposes
foots up to 500, 533. 90.
These are princely amounts and speak
volumes for the hberality of the people
OF the county. No other county in the
state Of equal wealth can make better
showing. The average wages paid will
probably exceed the average in the state
but if this is SO it is an evidence of wis
dom rather than of extravaganza On the
part Of the people Of the county. 1t is
to be hoped that the tendency will be to
increase rather than diminish the amount
expended on schools. 1t is the proud
boast of Manitowoc county that it occu-
pies front rank in educational matters,
and there it should be kept regardless of
expense.

For some time previous to election,
much interest was shown by both parties
in the canvass of the county, particularly
in relation to who would be our senator
and whether our school superintendent
would be male or female. The republi-
can nominee, Kelly, has carried the day,
and by over 1000 majority. Its "bad
one' on the democrats of our county, as
they are largo majority. There are
many rumors of Kelly's buying votes,
which seem to be well grounded, as
democrats have been known to election
Ger for him.
Miss Minnie Kelliher our wide awake
county superintendent was reelected by
a large majority. We are glad to state
this as our schools have, under her care,
made rapid though long needed strides
toward Improvement. Miss Kelliher was
the republican nominee; but our citizens
both democrats and republicans, were
too solicitous for the welfare of our
schools to allow party principles to pre-
vent them from voting for the most COM
petent person.
Since the decline in the price of wheat
farmers here market but very little grain.
They expect prices to go up again.
We have here in Morrison. six public
schools, and three sectarian. Five
churches, four saloons and one temper

THERE is an institution" at the South
Side where wicked people are wont to
congregate. Dusky daughters of Africa
are the attraction and one Of them is
muscular and is emulous of distinction
as scold and champion pugilist. Mon
day last she got into o quarrel with the
person who owns the house and after
ward with the hired girl and the people
in that neighborhood were satisfied that
''hell has no fury" equal to wench spoil
in for fight. We have not learned that
any arrests followed the free for all fight,
but it is said to have been a very noisy
as well as very active one. The sable
children were forced to leave the house
by the owners having the windows re-
moved, thus giving the inmates more air
than was desirable.

next Sunday night in Temperance Hall.
An elaborate programme has been pre-
pared. Some speeches, declamations
and other literary exercises are expected
to be delivered Oh that occasion.
A marriage of some importance has
been consummated IN Meme; but we
! have been unable to learn tho names Of
the contracting parties. However, suf-
fee it to say that the affair was attended
with the usual imposing ceremonies, and
| that a brilliant future is in store for the
happy pair.
Election day passed off pretty quietly.
Outside of the animation which politics
generally create, the excitement was con-
/ fined to little hand to-hand encounter
in which two participated at first, but
were interrupted BY third party, who
used an edged instrument much to the
annoyance of one of the former. The
fray again opened in the eve ming and
one Of the former participants 'was made
the recipient of sound thrashing. It
was st first thought that the matter
would be taken TO court; but it is now
generally conceded that the srties are
10 way itigious, and will either "let by
cones be .bygones" or settle the matter
by pugiIistic feat in the future.
A teachers meeting was inaugurated
here last Saturday. The next one
promises to be one Of considerable i'm
portance. Our most prominent educa-
tors and county superintendent, Messrs.
Walker and Viobahn are expected to be
present. Their presence is sufficient to
make any meeting profitable and enter

The debating society. which is made
up Of material obtained from all parts of
the county, has been resuscitated. It
has not yet been christened, but the mot

society promises not to bend beneath the
weight of that great name it will soon re-
ceive the name. In the next, and first
debate of the season, politics will be
vigorously dealt with. Republicanism

rash acts of politicians from Hamilton
down to the ''soid man" will be- veil
sifted by the negative. While the affirm
ative believes that political parties are a
necessity, it does not believe that the ex-
istence of any but the democratic ought
to be tolerated. But what can be donea
All the hand shaking and electioneering
that can be done are unable to extricate

quilted, even the sssolid" county of Man
itowoc has been taking retrogressive
step from democracy.

THE ball given by the Knights of Hon
or Of this city was one of the most pleas
ant affairs of the kind ever given in the
city. TIE crowd was just of the right
size, the music good, the girls amiable
ara the boys gallant. The only draw
back on the happiness of the Manitowoc
young men was the verdict of the ladies
that for gracefulness Of movement, in
innate knowledge of the intricacies of the
dance and full appreciation of what in
dancing parlance is termed the "dip," "a
term learned By q pasusa1 Of the U,ro'a-
icje,) the Two Rivers boys are far supe-
rior to those OF the first city of the com
~. What is our superiority as base
ballists when we cannot excel in the

be more carefully cultivated so that ON
young men may be first in the dance and
first in the hearts Of their country
