French governmental affairs are in a
very turbulent state. The trouble
grows out of the effort being made to
revise the constitution. Gambetta,
who is the leader of the party desiring
to see changes made in the present
constitution, wishes to stamp upon the
constitution certain peculiar ideas of
his own, to which his party object.
Debate in the Chambers has, for some
time, been Of the most fiery kind and
all France is highly wrought up over
the contest, Gambetta must either re-
cede from some Of his positions or COM
pei the Chamber of Deputies to do so,
otherwis q change of administration
will result. qambetta's possible sue
eessors are already in the field. An
understanding may yet be arrived at.
It will be hoped so by those who most
admire the wonderful power this re-
markable leader of the French liberals
has shown. Gambetta cannot disap-
pear from French politics even should
he lose his present office.

Chicago is in great perplexity over q
late decision Of the Supreme Court
pronOuncing the Probate Court of Cook
county invalid and illegally constitut-
ed. This court has been organized for
a number of years, and has, of course,
transacted an immense amount of bust
ness in that time. The effect of the
decision will be to inYalidate all this
immense amount Of business, and must
lead to great perplexity. 1t will cost
Chicago many thousands of dollars.
this decision, and if the court which
has made 1t is not bitterly denounced
Far and wide it will be singular. The
The worst part Of it is that the legisla-
ture cannot remedy the defect, as the
Constitution, it is claimed, gives no au-
thority for the establishment of such a
court A constitutional amendment
will require some time to pass, and
business in the Probate line will in the
meantime have to go undone.

The question Of re-apportioning
The State according to the census of
1880 has already been brought up in
the State Legislature. 1t win be re-
membered that, the bill of last winter
fell through by reason of the omission
of one tOwnin Grant county, in conse-
quenee of which Gov. Smith vetoed
the bill. A great deal of dissatisfac-
tlen was felt by the Democratic men,
bers last year with the bill, which was
bulldozed through both houses, and it
is probable that fairer apportionment
will be secured the present session.
The old bill exactly as 1t stood last
winter, with the exception of the in.
sertion of the omitted town, has been in.
troduced, and it will probably be under
taken to shove 1t through as it stands.
But as many Of the Republicans even
are dissatisfied with it, it will receive
many alterations, If it is not entirely
put out and a new one substituted.

TEACHERS MEETLNa

The Teachers Association meeting
of the w. D. held at Wilmot January
IA, which was. to begin at 10 o'clock A.
NJ, was postponed until afternoon, the
Vice-President being absent, and but
few teachers present. At 1:30 the
meeting was called to order by Vice
President Helms. The following
teachers of the county were present:
Misses Emma jacobson, Mary Gull, and
Susie Grant, and Messrs. Helms,
Mooney, Williams, Oryis, and Dalton.
Several visitors were also present. On
account of sickness and other less valid
reasons, only one of those appointed to
conduct exercises were present.
The first exercise was one in Lam
guage, conducted by E. w. Helms.
The subject was warmly discussed
during the exercise, and at it's close Mr..
Helms gave his plan of teaching gram
mar to beginners, which plan was
heartily approved. 1t was the opinion
of those present that the proper way
to teach language is to begin by requir-
ing the pupil to give correct answers
and expressions, and this to be follow
ed by compositions; but that technical
grammar should not be taught below
the fourth reader class.
Mr.. F. J. Mooney then took up the
causes of the civil war, and handled
it in an able and interesting manner
The two causes were slavery and state
rights.
The subject of slavery was followed
from it's introduction into Virginia
down to the breaking out of the war
For want of time the subject of State
rights was not touched.
A secretary pro tenn was appointed
and reports of the work in Grube's
method and drawing followed.
Taken as whole, the meeting was &
success to those who felt disposed tt
attend. SUSIE GRANT,
Sec. pro tenn.
