No business at the district court yester-
day, not even a paper filed.
The oratorical contest will occur at the
Stale university this evening.
One plain drunk at the municipal court
yesterday was the only business trans
acted.
The report of the health officer for the
month of March shows 81 deaths, of which
45 were males and 3S females
A gang of street arabs, with signs bear
ing the words "vote Tor E. II. Moulton
for city treasurer" made so cents each
and great deal of noise on the streets
yesterday.
William Rockenbrandt, who resides at
Rwenty-first avenue north and Second
street is lying at Long Lake in a critical
condition. He was engaged in driving a
sleigh when he was thrown out and a
sharp axe slipping forward nearly severed
one of his legs.
Twenty nine tramps walked out of the
station yesterday morning at 6 o'clock
AS the saloons were all "closed' they
spent the day in summing themselves on
the street corners and discussing the
probabilities of the election of the tenn

The entertainment at Harrison's hall

will form vast estate of almost lnca'u-
able value, rapidly augmenting as the
country becomes more thickly settled, and
from the sale the State can derive a
princely revenue.
The proposal to devote this domain to
the maintenance of our educational and
charitable institutions is not without
merit, and will commend itself to many
thousands of our citizens. Few
are aware of how rapidly
the burden of maintaining these
institutions is increasing. The appropria-
tions for the ensuing two years
for these purposes alone made by
the late legislature foot up to the sur
prising total of 81 ,292, $50, or S646,375 an
nually! This is nearly four times the
amount of all the other State expenses
combined, including the maintenance Oh
the penitentiary Nearly half OF this I'M
mense sum of money is expended for the
support of lot of fourth rate peda-
gogues, incapable of supporting them
selves by honest labor. Possessing the
instincts of the leech, however, they have
fastened themselves upon the body poll
tic. So tenacious has their hold become
that we cannot shake them off, and must,
perforce. supply the blood upon which
,hev subsist. Never satisfied with what
they have they are continually crying
out for more money as recompense for
instructing a few scores of youths in
branches Of study that are of no prac.i-
cal use in life, but simply fit them for be-
coming drones and blood suckers like
their instructors.
There must be some relief from
the exactions and the robberies of this
educational ring-a ring composed o.
broken down parsons and one-idea sopho-
mores. Perhaps the diversion of the
swamp lands to their support may for a
time, at least, afford that relief. But not
for long. They will, if uncurbed, soon
demand millions where they now have
only hundreds of thousands. But even a
temporary relief will be grateful to inc
people, who will need a short respite in
order to prepare for the greater onslaught
that is in reserve. 1t is probable that the
people generally will approve the amend
ment referred to if for no other reason
than the hope that it will lessen the d.
rect tax levied upon them for the main
tenance of an expensive and senseless
system of miscalled "higher education
education that has never yet fitted man
for useful occupation or a woman for
the grave duties of life. By all means
let the amendment prevail.

THE SWAMP LANDS AND OUR EDUC4-
TIONiL STSTEu,

During the closing hours of the legis-
lative session bill was passed by both
houses proposing an amendment to the
State constitution which shall provide for
the sale of all the swamp lands now be-
longing to or hereafter coming into pos
session of the State, the proceeds to be
Invested in the manner IN which school
funds are now invested, and the interest
devoted to the maintenance of the State
edu ational and charitable institutions.
The people will be called upon to vote for
or against this amendment at the general
election to be held in November next.
For years past the swamp lands have
been the source of much contention in
the legislature. Scores Of railroad COM
panies, organized on paper, have APP
piled for grants of these lands, nominally
for the purpose of assisting the corpora
lions to furnish the people with much
needed means of communication with
the commercial center of the State, but
in reality to give the corporators some
thing OF value which they might turn to
good advantage in dicker with some
corporation already operating railroads
in the vicinity. To secure these grants
there have been numberless combinations,
by means of which much extravagaut
legislation has been forced through both
houses, and the people greatly impover-
tshed. Tho lands are among the most
valuable in the State. They do not con-
sist, as their name indicates, of swampS
and marshes only, but of the fertile bot
toms and meadow lands bordering on
lakes and water courses, and
very desirable for agricultural pur-
poses. Probably less than one-tenth OF
the so-called swamp land is valueless
while the superior quality OF the re-
naming nine-tenths brings the average
value of the entire area far above the
value of ordinary lands not so classed
The State now owns large quantity OF
these lands, and the area is being in
creased as fast as the government surveys
can be completed and the character of the
lands properly designated Within five
years, unless the land is frittered away, il
