NEWSPAPERS generally are max
ing o war on type manufacturers
because of their monopolies and
high prices, and on paper makers
because of their advanced prices,
and they are overwhelming Con-
gress with petitions to reduce Of
repeal the duty on the importation
OF type and paper. The HERALD i,
pressed to join in the war, but We
arc not ready to enlist, 1t woulC
not look quite consistent for US tc
ask that paper be relieved aud say
nothing about iron. We are foi
home protection. If American mer.
chants, manufacturers and prodnc.
ers can be helped by legislation in
their competition with the rest Of
tho world, we favor it. If Wiscon,
sin is in competition with the rest
OF America we favor throwing the
advantage on the side of Wisconsin.
If Grant county is in competition
with the remainder of Wisconsin we
want Grant county to have any
little advantage that may come
without fraud or fighting. If we
can do anything fairly to confno
the profits of Grant county mer-
chants, manufacturers aud produe
ers to themselves we will do so. il
paper and type makers are really
above what is fair, we propose that
all the publishers IN the State "chip
in" and build paper mill and type
foundry of our own.

men, and carried to the hospital. AT
ter much unnecessary delay, Farris
was arrested by the state authorities,
and gave bail for his appearance be-
fore the State Circuit Court 10 No
vember, 1879. When tho time arrived
ed Farris feigned to Be sick and the
Circuit Solicitor continued the case
until the February term which has
Just closed. The case was No 10 on
the docket when the court opened,
which 10 tie regular mode Of pro.
cedure. would have placed it among
the first cases disposed of; bat the
Solici or postponed calling it until
the last day, when he again caused il
to be continued, because Farris'
counselsvas not in court.
Il have learned said the commits
sioner, that the witnesses were al
lowed to 90 ct large without recog-
nizancs and it seems evident, from
the several postponements aud the
general conduct OF the Solicitor, that
the State has no intention to punish
this cowardly ruffisn, and the sole
reason is, | am Federal officer.
This is not an isolated case: there are
many instances on record 10 which
witnesses to offenses against Federal
officers were spirited away, and when
the day Of trial came the complaints
were dismissed through lack OF evi.
tdence. But woe unto tho Federal
officer who lays himself liable to pros.
ecution by the State. No expense ia
too much and'no exertion too great to
secure bis speedy conviction. Judges
rule and charge to their prejudice
and inflict the heaviest penalties the
statutes prescribe. IA former internal
revenue officer, William L. Springs,
was convicted of stealing . silver
watch, worth about $s, and was
sentenced to three years, hard labor
in the Penitentary. Governor Simp.
son, who was present at the trial, has
admitted that the evidence did not
warrant the verdict, and yet he has
stubbornly declined to exercise his
pardoning prerogative, though sever
al petitions, signed by influential
citizens, have been presented to him.
It s. generally believed that Springs
is innocent Of the theft, and that be
was convicted for the serious crime
of being . revenue officer.

Railroad Surveying Party Checked
by Ye Gentle Red Men.

YANKToN, March 2.--The survey
ing party of the Chicago &c North
western Railroad Company have just
entered upon an attempt to run its
line across the Sioux reservation up
Bad river, from Fort Pierre. They
tried it from Fort Bennett up the
Cheyenne river and were headed off
by the Indians under the leadership
of Red Shirt, who told them that an
attempt to carry on the survey would
bring certain death to the party.
Again from Fort George the survey
ors started. line, but White Ghost
with o following OF Brule Sioux was
on the ground and forced them to
abandon the effort. The Bad river
road runs through the reservation,
aud the Indians have access to it
from three agencies, and it is doubt
full if the party succeeded in making
any survey through that country.
The Indians are opposed to all such
movements, and have announced
that they will fight Tor what they call
their rights.

District Attorney Norihrop, to inyes-

after this occurrence Hutchinson

what they should and might be. y
Bot large majority Of our citi-
liens have to do as they can and not
as they would, and have to be salts
fed with limited edcation for their
children. Some are providentially
kept back in the world, and may not
be able to sufficiently clothe their

not reach the highest twig on the

essary, right and proper that parents
should at all times have the untr am.

I now come to my third point,
which was on the subject Of public
schools. This is subject to which
l do not profess to be able to do full
justice, but certainly 1t is not difficult
for oil TO see that. our public schools
are not what they ought to be, nor
what they might be. In the first
place, teaching should be profess
sion and our schools should be taught
by professional and we'll qualified
teachers, such as have matured the
art of governing as well as teaching,
and not By boys and girls who teach
for the sole purpose ofraising money
to school themselves, and have no
further care for or interest 10 the
school, or to enable them to pursue
the study Of some other profession, as
10 the case 10 most Of our public
schools. Again, the schools should
be governed by rules and not by she

ST. JOHN AND THE WHIsKEY MES.-GeOrge T.
Anthony, in his letter to the Capital makes
some hard statements relative to st. Johns
pledges to the whiskey men, after his nOmina-
tion, two years ago. He says that, after his NOM
ination, st. John made speech at Leayenworth,
in which he stated that, while himself temper
ance man. he was not in favor of extreme laws,
but believed the present laws as stringent as
could be enforced. In a subsequent interview
with Col. Haas and others, St. John reiterated
what he had said in his speech, declaring HIM
self very conservative about restraining laws,
and that he was nnalterably opposed to all laws
in advance of public Judgment and conscience.
After the interview, Col Haas remarked, ''If
st. John is not right for Ms, he is awful liar"
The truth is, st. John made pledges to the whis-
key men. This tallies with the experience of the
Republican State Central Committee with ST.
John. After his nomination, he began shooting
off his mouth rather prOmiscuOusly on the tenn
peranee question. The Central Committee, in
making up a canvass of the State, asked for
conference with st. John, in which they put the
question to him squarely, whether, if they made
appointments for him throughout the State, he
would confine himself to speaking for the Re-
publican party, and let the Temperance issue
alone. He promised sOlemnly that he would,
and was given appointments in all parts of the
State. But he violated his pledge, by bringing
the temperance question into every speech that
he made, in some places making it the principal
topic. He thrust the Temperance question be-
fore the Legislature, and has been running it
ever since, to the almost entire neglect of his
official duties. He is utterly unreliable and ia
natical.
