How to Organize School Districts &.
The Editor of the Globe

To the Editor of the Globe
VIII you please give in your valuable paper
the course necessary to pursue to secure the
organization of school district in unorganized
townships.
AnStcer-You should petition the county
commissioners, having the petition signed, if
possible, by majority of the voters to be
effected, to set off certain specified territory as
such school district, specifying the desired
boundaries. This having been done, a meet
ing of the legal voters within the prescribed
limits should be called, by notices, signed by
i've voters, posted in three public places for
ten days preceding the meeting, for the cleo
ton Of the three school officers provided by
law, wiz: director, clerk, and treasurer, who,
together, are the trustees of the district. In
organizing school district, it is always well to
embrace plenty of territory, as it is much
easier to become dispossessed of any surplus
territory than it is to increase the amount, if
found too small. Upon this point the law
says:
ANY school district hereafter organized or
altered may contain the entire township in
which 1t is situated. or tract of land six
miles square in different townships, and per-
sons not residents of such district and to
whom the school in such district is easier of
access than the school in any other district, may,
upon application to the county commissioners
OF the county in which such district is located,
be admitted to all the benefits of such school,
upon such terms as the said commissioners may
deem proper"
Officers of new school districts in counties
having no superintendent of schools can get
necessary record books blanks, ETC., upon APP
plication to the superintendent of schools of
the county adjoining, or to the state superin-
tendent Prof. David Burt, st. Paul.

GRANTS ASPIRATIONS.

The anti-Grant Republican papers are
having a good deal of amusement all to
themselves by rsking from the platforms of
past Republican State conventions every ex-
preston adverse to third term. They have
loaded their columns with these resolutions,
publishing and republishing them over and
over in italics, small capitals and large capt.
tails, occasionally giving additional emphasis
to them by the use of black-facsd type. They
are now exercising their ingenuity in the
display of an extract from Gen. Grants let
ter to Gen. Harry White, of Philadelphia, in
1875, in which he said:
l am not now, nor have ever been, candi-
date for denomination. / would not accept
a nomination if it were rendered me, unless 1t
should come under such circumstances as to
make it an imperative duty-circumstance
not likely to arise.
There is really nothing very terrible in
these words. Quite probably Grant was
honest in his intention not to be candi-
date in 1876 unless under certain contingen-
cies. Me kept his implied promise, however,
| and the people cannot fairly charge him with
duplicity. He may have changed his mind ,
as he has an undoubte1 right to do, within
the past five years, and may desire to be a
candidate now. Or, he may consider that
| circumstances have arisen that now make it
an imperative duty for him to again assume
the reins of government. For that opinion
he is responsible only to himself, but the
people will have the opportunity of passing
| Judgment upon that opinion in November
| next. They may decide that the ciroum-
stances which render it necessary to have
Grant at the head of the government have
| not arisen, and may therefore relegets him
| to private life. This is their privilege, and
it is equally the privilege of Grant to be a
| candidate if he chooses to be one and pro.
| vided he can find a party to nominate him
Grants nomination will probably be q
great benefit to the country. It will prob
ably settle forever question that otherwise
| would be perpstually obtruding itself upon
the people-ths question of whether any
man should occupy the Presidential office
| for more than two terms. It will also settle
| the question of whether a President car
gather parcel of knaves about him, turn
| the administration of affairs over to theil
keeping, and permit them to rob and plum.
der the treasury at will, and still command
the suffrages of the people to such an extent
as to ensure his election once again to the
position he has disgraced. Grant should be
a candidate if for no other reason than te
settle these points, and it is very evident
that the people will have the opportunity Of
passing their verdict upon the questions in
/ dictated.

NAVIGATION NOTES.

Cleveland Leader: ''The propellers China,
| India and Japan have called at this port fire.
| quently, and their beauty and magnifcence has
elected much praise; but now another pro-
peller, which, if anything, exceeds the three
| vessels mentioned above, is the Winslow, sailed
| by Capt. Minch. The Winslow had thorough
rebuild in Buffalo, and is now new from three
planks below her main deck up, and ia finer
| boat than when first launched. Her cabin has
been beautifed, her decks are new and bridge
has been built forward of her pilot house. She
Is pronounced the finest propeller on the Lake
Superior lipe.'
That the Mississippi river is still of great
commercial Importance notwithstanding
the extension of railways throughout all parts
of the great river valley is proved by the steady
and fast increasing foreign trade of New Or
leans, which receives and ships its goods most
ly by river. In the eight months ending April
3Oth last the exports from New Orleans in
cluded G, 1888, 538 bushels of corn, 12S,SO5 bar
rels of -four, az, 649 bushels of rye, 2679,264
bushels of wheat, 22,867 sacks of bran and
| 49, 952 sacks of oats, besides the usual large
shipments of products of the Gulf States.
Most of the grain was received and shipped in
bulk. and when barge lines are established, ele-
vators and warehouses provided at New Orleans
it is probable much larger share of the pro-
ducts OF the central and upper Mississippi
States will go toimarket by way of that port.

The Chicago Tribune has begun to bull
doze the candidates for State offices in iii.
nois with view to securing their influence
in favor of admitting the Cook county dele
gates chosen by the Blaine Washburne mob
1t prints this threat at the head of its edi-
torial columns:
Gov. Oullom, and all the othor candidates
for the Republican nomination for governor,
and oil the candidates for secretary of state,
for treasurer, and for lieutenant governor, may
well take due notice that if for any purpose
the duly and regularly appointed delegates
from this county be refused admittance to the
State convention, then the nominations they
may receive from such convention
will not be worth The paper on which
they are recorded. No candidate nomi-
mated by State convention which
shall deliberately refuse representation to the
regular delegates of the 47,000 sRepublican
voters of this county, will be able to command
a majority in any one of the eighteen wards
and twenty-nin townships of this county. Such
ticket will be so generally repudiated that it
will require a search-warrant to find the few
men who will dare to offend public decency by
voting for it. Let candidates for places on
that State ticket take notice, ro1U, and make up
their minds as to what nomination for State
Office will be worth with the Republicans of
Cook county left out.
Mr.. Leonard SWEET was right in declaring
on the day of the Cook county convention
that this year the Yazoo river runs up hill,
bringing all Its filth and mire, and leaving
nothing behind but the shotgun.

In calling the county convention to order,
yesterday, Mr.. Kelly made an excellent
point. He said, while it had been customary
for the chairman of the Democratic county
committee to call temporary chairman to
the chair, it was undemocratic, as it was IN
doubleday proper for the convention to
make its own selection. He would, there
fore, call for nominations for chairman. He
did go, and Mr.. Albert Scheffer being
nominated, was speedily elected. This is a
gratifying return to Democratic principles
and it is rule which should be applied
throughout the State.
