Reduction Of Teachers Salaries.
To the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Will it be in order for reader of your
paper to offer through its medium a protest
against the unwise, unfair and unjust action
of the Minneapolis board of education in
cutting down the salaries of our most ad-
vanced and experienced school teachers
Just at this time, when the city council have
been increasing the pay of our police force
and many of our city officers. Does the
board expect the teachers to live after the
style of the Chinese, and still be able to in
struot the rising generation in refinement
and polish?. If popularity is the object
sought they have certainly struck the wrong
track, for every person but one with whom
I have conversed upon the subject (and I
have conversed with dozens) think the re-
duction an outrage If teachers of languages
and the sciences are to be put on a plane with
kitchen and shop girls, those who are rais-
ing daughters had better bear in mind that
education is of no account except for the
pleasure its possession gives-a lu1ury-but
Of no use in the gaining of livelihood.
am glad to see there is iberal-mlnded
minority in the board, and there are other
members that should expect better things
of, but of one or two nothing different
could be expected. A little loyalty to our
city and it's widespread reputation as good
place for people to come to educate their
children, and sense of right and justice to
those who labor for living would right the
wrong threatened, and give satisfaction to
not only nine tenths of the laboring classes,
but ninety out of every hundred of the tax
payers of this city. Respectfully,
MINNEAPOLITAN.

NATIONAL GREENBACK LABOR STATE
CONTENTION.

A State Convention of the National Green
back Labor party, of the State of Minnesota,
will be held at Armory hall, Wubashaw street,
in the city of st. Paul, on Tuesday, the 10th
day of June next, at IL o clock NJ, for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for State officers
to be supported at the next annual election.
All persons who approve of the platform of
principles adoped at Toledo, Feb. %, 1885, and
who are tired of the deep-seated prejudices and
bitter wranelings of the old political parties,
the tendency of which is toward disunion, and
all who desire ''true civil service reform, and
thorough retrenchment in public expendi-
lures, that labor may be lightly burthened. y
are requested to send delegates to said cnnven-
tion from towns, counties and cities, or to at
tend in person.
The committee would respectfully suggest
that county conventions be held wherever prac-
ticable, called either by existing local commit
tees, or by the resident member of the State
committee; or, in the absence OF any one
specially charged with the duty, by .oin tary
action of any man or men in sympati wlthonl
cause, to the end that full and fair repre-.
sentation may be had in the fo tic"mins con

yesterday afternoon to consider the resigna-

The reverend gentleman has of late been
dissatisfied with his salary, and has asked for
a Thousand dollar increase, and some of the
''paying members have thought that they
could get pastor who could "draw" better
if they had to pay SO high salary, and the
reverend gentleman was advised before he
left for the East, some weeks ago, to resign,
and this he did Immediately on his return.
Yesterdays meeting was attended by some

prevailed, aud to the surprise of outsiders
