EDUCATIONAL.
OUR WINTER SCHOOLS.
D. A. MAHONEY,
EDITOR

By the close of this week the Super.
intendent will have visited each of the
schools of the county once. From the
present outlook for good roads, it is
not likely that he will be able to visit
many of them the second time.
The present winter has been a very
favorable one for attending school.
There have been no severe storms. the
weather has been very mild, and the
general health throughout the county
has been good. Last winter measles,
whooping cough, chicken-pox, and
other diseases brought the per cent. of
attendance down very low, and in some
cases broke up the school. This win
ter there has been comparatively no
sickness-once in while few davs'
absence caused by sore arm, the re-
suit of vaccination, being about the
only complaint. AS natural result.
the attendance has been very good; in
fact. the Superintendent is satisfied
that the per cent. of attendance has
been higher thus far this winter than
that of any other term during the past
four years.
The schools, taken as a whole, have
been good. OF course some are not as
good as others. One school in Wheat
land is fiat failure. and three or four
others scattered through different
parts of the county are not up to the
mark, But there has been less of
trouble, friction, and complaint among
the schools this winter than we have
ever known before. Changing one
word of Pope's couplet, we might
say
/" Whoe'er expects faultless school to
see,
Expects what meier was, nor is, nor
e'er shall be-"
But nevertheless our schools are in
good working order, and are probably
as good as any common schools in Wis
consin.
Now if we might be allowed word
of advice to school officers, we would
say: If you have had good school
this winter, keep the same teacher for
the summer term. Don't let a few
dollars stand in the way of a good
school. If your school has not been
good this winter, do not keep the same
teacher, for the probabilities are that
the summer school will be worse than
the winter school. If you have had a
good school, but cannot retain the
same teacher, hire some one that you
k'ao10 has taught good school. Do
not. if you can avoid it, take any
on teacher of whom you know
nothing. Better throw your money
into the fire than pay it to a poor
teacher. Remember that any one can
not teach summer school"
In conclusion, we will say that the
superintendent has the names of sew
sral good teachers who wish places
Tor the summer. He would be glad to
hear from any officer who is on the
ookout for such.

We are inclined to think that the
restoration of the death penalty in
Wisconsin will prove a mistake. a
jury will always contain from one to
a dozen men who will hesitate to give
their true convictions upon the guilt
or innocence of person if the life OF
the accused is to answer for his crime,
There are more murderers escape from
this cause than from legal technicali-
ties, which is saying a good deal.
While if the extreme penalty of the
law is life Imprisonment, it is never
too late to find the error, if one exists,
that led to the conviction, and to make
reparation so far as possible for an
unjust sentence. There are crimes
committed so heinous in their charac-
ter that no form of punishment would
seem too severe for them. There is
no reparation for such deeds. They
are beyond the reach OF law. The law
is not an instrument of revenge. It's
mission is to protect society. Cruel
and irreparable punishments neither
make reparation for the deed nor salts
fly the law. Prompt and severe exc
cution will increase its efficacy more
than severe penalties. A man who is
in prison for life is about as dead to
the world as he can be. lie is COM
pletely out of the way, and society is
just as safe as if he were in his grave.
Capital punishment may, for time,
have a sort of terrorizing influence up
on the criminal classes, but it will
eventually be regarded as their great
est friend, for while it adds little to
the penalty of murder in the first de-
gree, itsubtracts much from the prob
ability of conviction.

THE ANTIP0LYGAMY BILL.

The first section provides for punish
ment of bigamy and polygamy by a
fine of not more than five hundred dol
lars and Imprisonment not more than
five years. The second section declares
cohabitation with more than one
woman to be a misdemeanor, punish
able by fine and Imprisonment. Sec
ton provides that counts for offenses
in the preceding section may be in
cluded i'll the same Indictment. Sec

the foregoing sections, as a belief in
disqualification to serve

A new basis of representation has
been decided upon in Congress, and the
number of representatives will be still
further enlarged from 800, the former
figure, to 325. This will give Wiscon-
sin an additional member of Congress,
and overturns the various schemes OF
reapportioning the state that have thus
far been brought forward, including
the last, which was so satisfactory to
our Congressional aspirants in the
legislature. The ground will have to
be carefully gone over again, which
will be undoubted fun for the boys.

1t doesn't sound we'll for newspa-

apologizing for them the next, or, what
is worse, making contradictory state

he was all right so far as that partic-
ular accusation was concerned, but
accusing him in the same breath of

less to say investigation shows the
second accusation to be as groundless

to be whirled about after this fashion,

A bill to restrict the practitioners OF
medicine to graduates Of medical col
leges. or to those who receive a certlti-
cate from a board, is commented upon
by a correspondent to the Milwaukee
Republican. Aside from a little super
fuous blood and thunder upon liberty,
life, pursuit of happiness, ETC., the party
shows very sensible grounds for oppos
ing the enactment of such law. The
opinions of prominent physicians are
quoted to sustain the view held by the
correspondent that the knowledge of
medicine is not only in an immature
and incomplete state of advancement
but that the most contradictory opin-
ions prevail as to the proper course to
pursue. Among these opinions are that
eff all the medicine in the world were
in the sea it would be worse for the
fishes, but better for mankind" nine
ty-nine out of every hundred medical
facts are medical lies" the world
would be better off if disease were al
lowed to take its course" etc. The au
thor of the letter rightly assumes that
the application of remedies is natural
gift to some people; that to shut out
such practitioners and give over the
field to educated know-nothings is
something not called for by the people
but is sample of class legislation hay
ing in view the benefit of any and all
who can by hook or crook bring them.

The bill providing for the apportion-

This is one of the most important
measures which has thus far been set

The number of members now in the
House of Representatives is 292; the
bill passed fixed the number at 325,
being an increase of 80 members. The

Guiteau's wall comes from his cell
in the Washington Jail like the despair
ing cry Of wild beast. His visitors
have almost entirely deserted him, and
his stock has taken a tumble that will
not rise again. He continues to hope
on. He thinks the exceptions noted
by Scoville will yet receive attention,
and that he will be granted a new
trial. He recently addressed letters TO
Mr.. Reed and to Mr.. Merrick, offering
each $4,000 to get him out He
thought he could readily make $4,000
next winter lecturing. Ifhe should be
freed no doubt he would become the
head Of a religious community some
where, and institutions equaling our
Utah establishments would be set up.

THE BOY MURDERER.
UncOnccrned and Defiant-He Does
Not Care About the Consequences
Of II ia VfuI Act.

Charles Shaw, the negro boy, recently con-
victed of murder in the first degree, when told
that the sentence in his case would probably
be death, manifested spirit of british indif-
ference Of the result. He talks very little
about the crime, and when he does, 1t is only
to declare his entire innocence.
A CRITIC reporter visited the Jail this morn
Ing for the purpose OF gaining few facts
relative to the murderer and his actions In
Jail.
In stature Shaw is below the average for his
age, 1S years, with a tendency toward stout
ness; his color is a decided black. His face
and head are perfect pictures OF brutality
long, narrow forehead, prominent cheek.
bones, small, piercing, restless black eyes and
thick lips His movements are stecltny and
cat-like.
1t will be remembered that the crime COM
mftted by this boy, last November year, was
part which would do credit to any old profess
sional " "crook."
The facts, how he decoyed his sister from
her homo for the purpose of visiting her
grandmother, and, when q lonely and deserted
part OF the road had been reached, how he
sprang upon her with the fury of a tiger,
pounding her head almost to a Jelly, then
and die, are fresh in the minds Of all. 1t will
also be remembered that while Shaw was
serving a sentence In jail for robbing his
sisters house the facts in the murder case
were worked up against him by the detectives.
In jail Shaw is taciturn and uncommunica-
tive, carefully avoiding any reference to the
murder. He does not appear to care whether
ment. The possibilities are that the former
Will be the sentence.
