The Funding bill 6or the substitution
OF new low-intereSt bonds for the $780,
100000 B and 6 per cents that are about
to fall due), which has been before the
House of Representatives at Washington
for some time, has passed in an amended
form, by a vote of 1875 yeas to 125 nays.
Its principal features are New bonds
are TO be issued to an amount not ey-
ceeding 800, 000,0O0. and Treasury
certificates Of $40, $40 and $50, not ex-
ceeding 1890, 000,0O0, each to bear 3 per
cent. interest, the former to be redeem
able after five years, and payable after
years, and the certificates To be redeem
able in one year and payable in ten /;
limiting the expense of the new issue to
one-fourth of per cent, and making
only the new 3 per cent bonds receiv-
able at the Treasury as security for
matte nal bank circulation. 1t is not
probable that the bill, in its present
shape, will pass the Senate, which will
no doubt change the interest rate from
3 to 81 per cent. Many have serious
doubts as to whether the Secretary of
the Treasury would be successful in dis
disposing of u per cent. bond.

lion. Philetus Sawyer, the new United
States Senator from Wisconsin, is self
made man. and is by no means novice
in public life. He is Vermonter by
nativity, farmers son, and is now 20

received was in the common school of
his native town and in subsequent bust
ness life. At the age of IL he bought
his time of his father, and began work
ing as farm laborer In ten years he
had saved about $1,000, and in 1917 he
moved to Wisconsin, where he engaged
in the lumber business and soon sue
ceeded in building up aprosperous bust
ness. He was member of the Wiscon-
SIN Legislature in 1857 and 1861. and in
1868 was elected Mayor of Oshkosh, the

ination, During his services in Con-
gress MIR. Sawyer served on the Com
mittee on Manufactures and Commerce
and other committees, and was Chair
man part of the time of the Committee
on the Pacific Railroads Mr.. Sawyer
was not much of speech-maker while
in Congress. but his influence on legis-
iation was great In the opinion of ex-
Senator Howe. no district has sent 10
Washington ian honester man, or a
more faithful oreflieient representative
In spite of his lack of early culture,
Mr.. Sawyer has always been gentle
nan in all the relations of life, and
while in Congress he was familarly
known 70 the best men in both houses.

School Superintendent Harper's re-
port on thislpage, is a document so CON-
plete on the subject that we trust it will
be carefully read by all who are inter-
ested in education in this county. Mr..
Harper is practical man, and Of
thorough and careful observation. His
views, therefore, and recommendation
are entitled to high respect The docu-
ment explains itself so fully and is so
much more readable than similar reports
we do not care to comment upon any of
the facts embodied therein. We take oc-
casion TO note the fact. accorded by all
Of his acquaintance, that the profe. ,or
enjoys the greatest popularity among
those with whom he labors, of any gem
tleman who ever filled that responsible
position. He is now filling his second
term, and although he has made POI

from the Madison Journal that good

Professor Henry 5. Holden. of the
National Observatory, has been invited
by the board of regents of the university
Of Wisconsin TO take the directorship
OF the Washburn astronomical obscrva-
tory and the professorship of astronomy

Washburn and the regents have been

Believing that few words, accompa-
MED BY statistics showing the present
educational condition Of Grant county
and also comparing it with the year
1872, viii be kindly received and Pc
rused, take pleasure in presenting
them. My reasons for selecting 1872 as
the point from which TO mark our pro-
gression or retrogression, as the case
may be, are, that 1872 was a year of I'M
usual educational prosperity, and the
report of State Supt. Fallows contains a
full written report in connection with a
tolerably reliable statistical report from
this county.
