If the st. Paul Dispatch hopes to
gain friends or augment its influence
in matters political, it should cease
its unmitigated falsehoods and absurd
denunciations that it is hurting at
Hon. VIM. Window, simply because
President Arthur has seen proper to
appoint General Edgerton, Chief
Justice of the Territory of Dakota.
There are some matters that Capt.
Castle may know to certainty. but
in this particular case he is evidently
working on the hypothesis that insO-
much as Gen. Edgerton had the man

Window a clear field and an easy
victory-which latter result the ex.
Treasurer would have attained a.

dozen aspirants-he is unfit and I'M

AS a jurist, Mr.. Edgerton will prove
himself worthy the high trust re-
posed in him, and is every way fully
qualified to meet all emergencies that
may arise for adjustment, the Dispatch
to the contrary, notwithstanding Mr..
Castle can calculate with astrOnom-
ical certainty that every epithet he
hurls at the Hon. VIM. Window as a
trader in politics and barterer in
office, will rebound to the inglorious
rebuff of he who presumes to utter
the calumny. Mr.. Window is above

OUR EDUCATORS.

The meeting of the State Conven.
ton of County superintendent at
st. Paul, this week, was made inter.
esting by the discussion of applicable
questions. Under the head of "How
Shall We Improve Our Teachers y
Prof. Lord of Winona county said:
"We can improve them by examin.
ations indirectly when there Is a sur.
plus of candidates. We can then aid
in the selection of the best, but what
shall we do where there are not
enough persons desiring to teach
sufficient to fill the schools? The
only sure test of candidates ability
upon which absolute reliance can be
placed is work in the school room.
In the case of young and inexperienc.
ed teachers much more for their i'm.
provement can be done in the way of
a private talk by the superintendent
than can be done before the school.
Institute work Is a valuable aid in
improving the ability of teachers,
and good educational journal should
be taken. The importance Of normal
schools in the work Of qualifying
teachers for their work was men.
toned, and concluded by saying to
young persons about to begin this
work, Improve yourselves"

SECRETARY KIRKwOOD celebrated
his 6Sth birthday last week by rem
dering decision in the Deadwood
case, involving title to the town site
of Deadwood, Dakota, and the mines
under it, amounting in value to
numerous millions. The substance
of the Secretary's decision is that
mineral locations made prior to the
town site location are valid, those
made afterward are not and patents
will in both cases be issued without
reservation, lie. the prior mineral
locations will carry them the surface
as well as the mines, and where the
town site locators were first they are
awarded not only the surface but
also the mines beneath.

In the church of the Holy Cross,
London, on Christmas, while High
mass was being celebrated, a man
was detected picking pockets, and to
escape, cried out fire. A terrible
panic ensued, in which several per-
sons were killed outright and many
injured. So far as can be ascertained
over thirty persons have died of in
juries. The miscreant who caused
the disastrous commotion happened
to be a Jew, and the stores of several
co.religionists were Quilted. The
pick.pocket was thoroughly beaten,
and but for the interference of police
would have been killed.

TRUE love Is an impenetrable wall,
and barrier that defies the opposi-
ton of an army. In New York, last
week, DR.. Webb and Miss Bella
Vanderbilt, daughter Of the great
railroad king were united in marriage
after an attachment since childhood.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was opposed to the
match for long time, and even went
so far as to forbid an engagement
and requested the young man to cease
his visit. But the "two hearts that
beat as one" were not thus to be out
witted. and they continued to meet
each other in society. Then Mr..
Vanderbilt took his daughter to
Europe in the hope that the briny
deep might tend to dampen the grow.
ing affection between the twain. But
when Bella retired to her stateroom
after the boat left the dock, she found
it decked with flowers from her lover.
At last the opposition of Mr.. Wander
bilt was withdrawn, and when the
marriage ceremony was performed
the penitent father started the young
couple out upon the stormy sea of
life with a $25O,OOO check and his
elegant residence on Fifth Avenue.
There is something in this little cpl.
sode of true love, that even our young
men may not fail to profit by. Some.
times the "old Gent" means yes,
when he says no, and the feigned OPP
position is only expressed in order to
find out best what sort of metal his
would-be.son in.law is composed of.
1t requires "sticktuativeness" in
this life if you would win golden
laurels.

A LAWYER by the name of Reed,
of Chicago, has entered the Guiteau
trial, and now the court monstrosity
will have fresh legal talent to vent
his spite upon. Reed must have any
amount of sand to take upon himself
the responsibility of martyrdom. But
he evidently pines for noteriety, and
if such be the case he has an oppor-
tunity to appease his vanity.

AS day after day rolls by and the
evidence in the Guiteau trial is sift-

who has so long been fostering sore
to the American public is nearing
the gallows upon which he ought to
have been swung long weeks since.
The assassin, in order to combat the
evidence produced from medical ex-
perts regarding his sanity, acknowl.
edges that he is perfectly sane now,
but was not on July End when the
lamented Garfield was struck down
by his hand.

JOHN ORvILLE EVANS, President
of the Mutual Union Telegraph Co.,

Mr.. Evans had arranged to spend
Christmas in Fayetteville, N. Y, his

been looking forward with great
pleasure to his sons coming. But
death often calls when least expected
and Mr.. Evans was summoned with

erection of numerous and costly resi-.

just completed are: ex-Secretary's

THE New York Tribune speaks cor.

zeal for repeal of the Arrears of Pen

Applications have already been made
by Democratic Congressman to have
the provisions of the Act extended.
This is on line with Mr.. Randall's
plan of economical legislation. He
always talks very loudly about reform
and retrenchment, and then uses all
his influence to work through jobs
for extracting money from the Treas.
