1t Is not necessary that a system as
comprehensive as that used In the
Commercial Colleges should be taught
in the common schools, but the "Ele-
mentary principles" could be taught
as easily as those of mathematics or
English grammar. They should be
taught how to keep the three princi-
pal books, Day Book, Journal, and
Ledger. They should know that in
every transaction where there is an
exchange of values, there is a Debit
and Credit and that these debts and
credits ought both to be recorded and
that it is necessary that it should be
done properly. Indeed, SO important
has this become, in the estimation of
many of our best business men. tLat
they carry it SO far as to write out the
entire agreement, upon which the ex-
change is based, and place on file the
original figures, and in some large es-
adjustments a "Short Hand writer
is employed to record, verbatim, all
that is said relating to it.
1t is also quite necessary, that ev-
cry one should know the nature of
negotiable paper, and the manner
of doing business with a bank. There
are few persons who do not sometimes
find it to their advantage to borrow or
loan money to give or receive a "Prom-
Use to pay" or Receipt for money.
Is it not, then, better that our chill
dren should be taught how to write a
note of hand, a receipt, draft, or bill
of exchange. to properly endorse a
note, &C., in their school days, while
their minds are young and susceptible,
than to compel them to learn them in
after life, in the expensive school of

1t seems to me that these are branch

deficient, and ought to be improved.

ANTI-PoLYGAMY meetings are being
held in some of the larger cities and
the popular sentiment that polygamy
must CO. is constantly increasing.
The first point to be raised in Con-
gress ON this question will doubtless
be upon the unseating of Delegate
Cannon, of Utah, who has plurality
of wives, and the Mormons have, dur
ing the past few months, been prepar-
ing for the defensive, to be taken at
the proper time. Mormon detectives
have been shadowing Congressman of
free and easy virtue" for some weeks
and, it is alleged, have found num-
Der who have as many mistresses at
their disposal as Cannon has wives,
and when that class of Congressman
vote and talk against polygamy they
will be confronted with the keen gilt
ter of few cold facts. And it is pos
sible that those same Congressman
may yet be required not only to re-
frain from voting and talking against
polygamy but also to throw every pos.
siale obstacle in the way of anti-poly-
gamy legislation as the price of sup
preston of certain scandalous facts.
The willy Mormons are becoming DIES
perate and defiant, fearing no prosecn-
lions for libel as they claim to be
abundantly able to substantiate what
ever charges they may see fit to make.
No one need be surprised if the pres
ent Congress ahstains from all legisla-
ton that would adversely affect the
Mormons in any essential particular.

INDUCED in relative to the action of
the National Board of Health in de-
claring smallpox epidemic in the Unit

plains why this was done. Congress
appropriated 100000 to the Board,
with the proviso that it would not be
available except in the case of an cpl
demic, to enable the State local Boards
of Health that are in need of funds to
battle with the disease TO obtain their
proportion of the appropriation. The
explanation clears away many miscon.
captions.

The amber cane industry, rapidly
coming to the front, is destined soon
to become quite an important industry
in the northwest. A number of gen
tlemen who are making the manufac-
ture of syrup and sugar from amber
cane an object of special study in 9th
Ell States, attended the annual conven-
ton of the Minnesota Cane Growers
Association held two weeks ago, at
which information of a very satlsfac-
tory nature relating to this industry
was cleaned from each other by those
present. The acreage of this product
for 1882 in Iowa, Minnesota and Wis
consin will doubtless be much larger
than that of last year, and with fur
Their experiments and an increased
knowledge in its culture and manufac.
ture results will be still more satisfac-
tory and profitable than they have
heretofore been. Besides the cane
itself, which under favorable condi-
lions is remunerative crop, it is said
that in some localities the seed exceeds
corn in value as a feed for sheep and
hogs, thus yielding double crop.
