No, some cannot read the agricultural
journals, cannot even save pennies.
When farmers learn to save their re-
sources they will be able to fill their
homes with comfort and plenty
The discussion was then continued by
Messrs. Bryant, Kiehle, Niles and
Reynolds, most of their arguments being
in the form of questions addressed to
Prof. Pike, which were promptly an
swered by that gentleman, the answers en-
bracing the probable cost of introducing
and carrying on such an adjunct to the
university, if not applicable to the COM
mon schools
Mr.. Pierce advocated the establishment
of mechanical schools, and after a long
discussion the meeting was adjourned to
$50 this morning.
Among the many pleasurable features
of the associations meetings was the
musical numbers rendered by Prof. F. W.
H. Priem's pupils, under his immediate
supervision, which served to conduce not
a little to the enjoyment of the session.

Evening Session.

The evening session was opened with
music, after which Prof. W. A. Pike,
professor of mechanical engineering of
the University of Minnesota, delivered an
interesting address, illustrated py speci-
mems of work from the hands of students
Of the Maine State college, where he was
formerly instructor, amply serving to il
lustrate, combined with the glowing
eulogy of the professor, that mechanical
engineering was one of the necessary
addendas needed to State university.
President Smith then announced that
Prof. Soaring could not be present, ex-
pressing his regret thereat, and advo cat
ing the idea of industrial education,
though thinking'it conld not be used in
the common school.
Prof Reynold said he didn't believe
in taking anything of the kind into the
public school He asked whether pupils
liked the mechanical part of their educa-
ton
Prof. Pike-Not all use it, but all those
who take to it like it.
Mr. Reynolds-Like Lincoln, those who
like it, like it. have read an article in
St, Paul paper. read it over three or
four times; there are large lot Of boys
actually untitled for machine
shops or mechanical work; this
our opponents hold up as an effective
method and thereby hit our public schools
a rap, but he held that mechanical schools
will not hit our public schools at ALL AS
one gentleman said, it is not profitable to
teach boy a trade without the funda-
mental principles thereof.
Prof. Kiehle, of st. Cloud, found fault
that children are not taughtto form OBJ
servation; the great lack of our society is
a lack of learning among our
laboring classes, they not having received
what has been expected is it having
among chemistry not enough chemistry?

House of Hone Reunion.

Last evening the members of the House of
Hope Joined in celebrating the twenty fifth
anniversary of the organization of the church
An address was made by Elder H. NJ Knox,
who gave lengthy sketch of the early history
of the church, covering a period from the

pastorate of Rev. d. R. Breed, 1870.
Mr.. Horn read number of regrets in re-
sponse to invitations. Regrets were read from

DaVy Crockett.

Frank Mayo as Davy Crockett drew a
large audience to the Opera house last
evening, all parts of the auditorium being
comfortably filled. The drama is familiar
to nearly all theater- goers, and it is not
necessary to go into detailed description
of its stirring incidents. The homely
phrase and manly bearing of the hero of
the play were admirably delineated by
Mr.. Mayo, and almost every sentence and
every look called forth applause or laugh
ter. Many of his utterances have become
proverbs throughout the land, and these
drew forth hearty approval. A better na-
tured or more appreciative audience has
seldom filled the Opera house.
Tonight the company go to Saltwater,
whence it proceeds to La Crosse, eastward
bound.

afternoon Session.

The afternoon session opened with a
musical selection, piano and violin, after
which the assembly was called to order
andProf. A. E. Engstrom, of Cannon
Falls, was introduced, who read an inter-
esting paper On "Our Common Schools -
The professor commenced by drawing
the attention of his hearers to the schools
of Massachusetts, always the pride of the
State; their organization is perfect, work.
ing with mechanical accuracy, but re-
cent test had proved the schools not as
perfect as at first supposed to be. Mime
sofa has a system very
different, as is well known No honest
man is accused of imperfection, save
perfectly chaotic; as a system this ap-
plies to the schools as unworthy of the
name. If our schools were tested as
Massachusetts, were, we would be found
equally deficient. At the last annual
meeting superintendent portrayed that
the districts are poor, teachers poor, ETC.
A large share of this time was spent in
ascertaining what had been done instead
of what should be done. The rigid
course of cities we do not want introduce
ed in the country DISTRICTS to send a baby
for twenty years to school under a Sc
we're course of training to sap the
foundation of his system is not right. In
cities it is done because there is nowhere
else to send him. In the country there is
plenty of air, plenty of work, and plenty
of everything to build up the human sys-
tenn. Our best men all come from the
country schools. The difficulty is not
that we have but three months school in
some districts, but that we do too little
work when we have school. The politi-
clan studies up, goes to work and ascer-
tains what must be done to attain success
and then goes to work and does it, Let
us learn lesson from the politician.
Some teachers think that to impart in
formation is the principal thing. System
of education is what is most needed, and
it is of sufficient importance to be needed
And another point is the inculcation of
habits of industry, right and wrong, ETC.,
into the minds of pupils. Some think if
pupil has learned to read the English
language he has acquired an education,
but he has only obtained the principal
keys, the elementary parts to enable
pupils to become useful citizens; to be
disciplined in school is not the whole,
for he who thirsts for knowledge must
seek it himself The speaker then al
luded to the importance of keeping a
daily record of the standing and progress
of pupils in our schools, contending
that what the day book and ledger
are to the counting room the register

Damages Wanted.

A novel suit for $1,000 damages was COM
menced in the district court yesterday by
Clement Vandell against Henry G. Charles for
injuries alleged to have resulted from an as.
sault. It is alleged that on the 10th day of
last October, in Dakota county, the defendant
wilfully and maliciously assaulted the plaintiff
with loaded pistol. That he held the muzzle
of the pistol within a yard of plaintiff and
discharged the same at his person.
That in SO doing the plaintiff was exposed to
great bodily harm, and that such unwarranted
action caused him to sustain great fear and
suffering. In conclusion, the complaint asks
for 81 900 damages, and costs and disbursc-
ments of the action.

Why should not all discern and confess a
control in the affairs Of men, public and pri-
vate, a control beyond partisan tactics or
ken, and so guiding to results as TO conserve
right and justice and establish truth and
peace in the earth. Verify it looks as if in
California all things had not gone according
to the will and purpose of the dominant
party. Six or seven hundred Democrats on
the day of the late election remembered that
one of the party candidates for presidential
electors, ex-Judge Terry, murdered one Of
the noblest men and Democrats that ever rep
resented the state in the United States SEN
'ate-Senator Broderick--in duel. That
crime against freedom was committed
twentyone years ago, and yet enough men
resented the restoration of the murderer to
party honors to scratch his name, so that he
not only ran behind his own ticket but be-
hind the lowest name on the Republican
ticket. This insured his defeat and the
election of the highest candidate on the Re
publican electoral ticket. California will
give five votes to Hancock and one to Gar
field because Democratic managers asked
Democratic voters to vote for man who
murdered senator because he would not be
the tool Of the Buchanan administration.

IRELAND.--John Bright, at meeting in
Birmingham, declared that the Irish dis
turbances were due largely to the landlords,
their oppression, their absenteeism and rails
ing difficulties when tenants wanted to buy
land in fee simple. He attributed the state
of affairs in Ireland largely to the rejection
by the house of lords of the compensation
for disturbance bill, which was designed to
compensate evicted tenants for improve
ments made on holdings during tenancy.
With regard to the future, he believed that
force would effect nothing. Government
would not approve chimerical efforts for the
transfer of land to tenants. Mr.. Bright be.
lieved that the remedy would be in a we'll
considered bill TO give tenants security in
possession of their farms and protection
against the constant increase of rents. The
plan would include an arrangement by
which landlords willing to sell could deal
with tenants willing to buy. The cabinet
is in accord on the Irish question, and pre-
fers a policy which will enable all tenants
otherwise qualified to become freeholders.

SOUTHERN SCHOOL BooKs.-Could some
of these people who will not believe in the
existence of such strong partisan prejudices
at the south as those who are best informed,
declare to be rife there-could they exam
inc some of the school books prepared for
the use of the children, they would doubt
no longer. In the histories Of the country
particularly, prepared since the war, is this
evident. All through can be traced the ex-
preston of hatred to the Union and love to
what is called the Lost Cause They
cultivate sectionalism OF the most decided
nature. Patriotism means attachment to
the confederacy. Northern people are mud
stills, those Of the south chivslric gentlemen.
OF course there are grades in these histories.
Some are far more open and violent in their
expressions than others, and they are not
the ones that do the most harm. An ap-
parent fairness covering real malice is far
more mischievous than outspoken hatred.
Both ways are taken to teach southern youth
to hate the north and national union.

SEcULARIzATIoN.-A meeting for the
purpose of organizinga national association
for the secularization of the states was held
in Chicago, Monday afternoon. A national
address was adopted setting forth the means
to be taken to secure the secularization of
the states. This was defined in the re-
port to be: That acts of religious worship
enforced as acts of worship, including Bible
readings, shall cease in the legislature, pris-
ons, public schools and other institutions
sustained by taxation. That no property
shall be exempt from taxation, and no per-
sons from contributing their just shares to
the burden of the state on account of their
being engaged in religious effort. That all
laws enforcing the observance of one day
above another upon religious grounds shall
be repealed. That all laws requiring judi
cial oaths to be in any religious form or
limiting the admissibility Of persons to tes-
tify, hold office, sit on jury or perform
any other civil functions because of any
lack of religious belief, shall be repealed.

JUDGE DAVIS REpLrEs.-Judge Davis has
published in the New York papers a reply
to A. S. Hewitts structures in his opinion in
the famous Garfield letter forgery case.
Judge Davis admits that he made an error,
and in looking over his notes finds that he
did injustice to Mr.. Hewitt in making him
responsible for the original publication of
the text of the Chinese letter, and in not
discriminating between the text and the
fac-simile of the letter. He then goes on to
argue, however, that this is very small
point, and that but for Hewitt's Endorsement
of the handwriting the letter would have
remained in the gutter. The facsimile was
published and sent out over the country by
the Democratic national committee, and
this was the real injury to General Garfield
1t was Hewitt's approval that gave the doc
ument its effect. But for him all this trouble
would never have come to pass. Judge
Davis reviews the testimony, and says that
with the exception above referred to he
made no error in his reference to the testi-
mony.

Mr.. Hewitt Explains.

Abram s. Hewitt has written reply to
Judge Davis structures upon his connection
with the spurious Morey letter. He says
that he first saw the original letter and made
the examination of it on the Goth of Octo-
Der, the day after the publication. Appar-
emily Mr.. Hart has made one statement to
Mr.. Hewitt, and another very different state
ment, under oath, before Judge Davis.
Which is correct, and what the sworn testi-
mony was on which Judge Davis based his
scathing rebuke of Mr.. Hewitt, time will
doubtless disclose. If Judge Davis has done
an injustice to Mr.. Hewitt it should be set
right. Judge Davis is the magistrate that
brought Tweed to punishment through all
the obstacles the highest legal talent could
interpose. He is Judge in the supreme
court of New York, and is noted for his en-
inent ability and incorruptible integrity. If
he has Inexperienced the evidence in this
case, it will certainly be very remarkable
circumstance. Mr.. Hewitt's disclaimer is
substantially as follows: al never pro.
nounced the body and signature of the letter
to be in the handwriting of General Gar
field; on the contrary, in the presence of Mr..
Hart and all the gentlemen present, de-
clared the body Of the letter not to be in the
handwriting of General Garfield, but that
believed the signature to be his autograph.
do not think Mr.. Hart has given any tes-
timony to the contrary, but if he has, it is
an error, which can be shown by the testi-
mony of all the gentlemen who were pres
ent" Mr.. Hewitt also says he did not tell
Mr.. Hart that " l would have made it forg-
any Autographs or fac-similes of either kind.
He says the foundation upon which Judge
Davis has built up the attack upon his char
acter is false in fact, and says: Il am now
forced to believe that there is concerted
scheme to attempt to break me down in this
community, where | have lived for more
than fifty years, and to which l can more
safely trust for just judgment than to a
Judge of the supreme court who forgets that
when he becomes judge he should cease to
be politician" However the question of
fact as between Mr.. Hewitt and Judge Da-
Wis may be, the serious point in this matter
is that Mr.. Hewitt pronounced the letter
genuine both before and after General Gar
fields indignant denial of its authorship,
and thus materially aided the conspirators
in partial accomplishment of their villainy
by swinging off some Of the Pacific states
from the support of the Republican nomi-
nee. Had the spurious letter proved SINH
larly disastrous in. New York, in the light of
its now admitted character, it is startling to
reflect what might be the condition of things
in this country at this time, with the angry
and excited state of feeling that would have
been aroused by the consciousness that Gar
field had been defeated by dastardly forg-
cry uttered by the national Democratic CON-
mittee.
