SOUTHERN MINNESOTA is, beyond qucs-
ton, in the minds of those who have had
opportunities for close observation, the
choicest portion Of the Northwest. Its
rich soil, its variety of surface, it's abund-
ance of pure water as found in streams
and springs, its sufficicncy of woodland
shelter, and its freedom from malarial
diseases, combine to make it almost the
ideal home of diversified agriculture,
and its merits as such will grow in recog-
milton and remain long after some of the
novel attractions of to-day have ex-
hausted their transitory 'boom" and fallen
back in obscurity and neglect-Luc Qui

Congressional Outlook In Wabash


This year Wabasha county finds her
self in new district. New issues are
being discussed by new neighbors, and
new candidates are asking for our sup
port. Under the circumstances it be-
hooves us to make haste slowly. The
nomination of Republican congressman
in this Republican district is equivalent
to an election, and it is therefore matter
of the greatest possible Importance. We
must not rush into things blindly and
cast our maiden vote for an incompetent
man, nor in the interest of corrupt and
disreputable faction. Wabasha county
will be Judged by the vote she casts in this
convention, and that vote should not be
hastily nor unwisely cast. 1t should not
be thrown away. It is Dunnell against
the field, and the odds are are in favor of
Dunnell. That is the way it looks to us;
but we may be mistaken. The question,
as we have remarked before, is an impor-
tant one, and we earnestly urge upon our
readers the necessity of studying it care
fully.-Lake City Keuie,o. q,

NUMBERS.

| An essay read at the Teachers Associ-
alton at Rose Greek, May 18th, 1882, by
j. NJ. Walter, of Taopi.]
Perhaps no task, in the daily routine of
the teachers life, taxes his ingenuity so
much as to impress upon the infant mind
an ideal conception of numbers. The
young mind cannot grasp abstract ideas;
and unless we can rob numbers of their
! vagueness and clothe them with meaning
| they will dwarf rather than invigoratc the
| intellect AS soon as child can dis
| tinguish between one and more than one,
he is ready to begin the study of arith-
metic, not as science, yet the most rigid
| system is necessary to success. With the
child we are to deal with the faculty of
perception.
! If numbers could be made to represent
objects that could be seen with the eye,
and the objects themselves compared
rather than the number that represents
them, the four fundamental rules come
within the conception of the weakest
mind. The four rules should go hand in
hand. can see no reason why we should
teach addition, then subtraction, multiple
cation and division. If child can see
that one marble and one marble make
two marbles, he can as easily understand
that 81, 2x1-2, 2-:-1=2. The four
rules should so blend and overlap each
other, as they do in practical life, that it
would be unnecessary to classify them as
addition, subtraction, multiplication and
| division. But the sense of the rule should
appeal first to the perceptive faculties
and lead from them gradually to reason
ing and Judging between the relation of
| abstract ideas. But as 1have said BEFORE
and deem of so much importance that I
repeat it, we must follow rigidly some
system. Otherwise our forces will be
scattered, and we can scarcely hope for
success. At present know of no system
so generally received with favor and sue
cess throughout the United States as
''Grube's Methods of Elementary Arith-
metic. hope this afternoon, if it is the
wish of the Association, to conduct a
class exercise, showing Grube's method of
developing numbers as far as ten, in which
think can set forth the principles of
the method in clearer light than l could
in production of this kind.
Of course much depends upon the teach
er and the thoroughncss with which he
takes each step. We are now laying the
foundation of vast and important
science. And much Of the success in af-
ter life, not of one but of scores of indi-
viduals, depends upon the foundation we
build. Hence we cannot be too exact in
laying that foundation deep and strong.

Do Not be Deceived,

In these times of quack medicine ad-

some of our brethren are putting for
ward as point of vantage to Mr.. White
in his candidacy, the unpleasant fact that
he vigorously opposed the Infamous
bond steal in all its stages" To tell the
candid truth this single fact is to us suffi-
Gent reason why he should not be made
the representative man either of the party
or of Mr.. Dunnell's opposition, and, if we
know anything of the temper of the men
who compose the latter class. they will
not consent to be followers of a leader,
who put himself conspicuously on the
wrong side of a great moral question. If,
as we suspect, Mr.. White took his posi-
ton on the several bond acts, not because
he thought a settlement should not, on
principle, be made, but because he bent
his convictions to the supposed wishes of
his constituents and his desire to stand
we'll with them, it does not help the case.
It reveals a want of that moral courage
which a congressman constantly needs,
and which enables him to defend his con-
victions against popular clamor, even to
his own political death. While we don't
care to drag the old bond dispute into this
or any campaign, we do insist upon our
right to use the action of any public man
upon it as measure of his political integ-
rity, and measured by this self-supplied
standard, Mr.. White lacks the essential
quality of Observation-Disclosures argus.
The above very sensible conclusions
come not from postmaster editor" but
from an honest, handwriting, non-office
seeking country editor! They are emf
nently sound, and ought to weigh with the
people in their choice for CONGRESSMAN.

THE treatment received by Gen. Small,
a very loquacious, if not distinguished,
colored Republican patriot of South
Carolina; the recent exclusion Of a Bishop
Of the \. NJ. E. church from the dinner
table on Hudson river steamboat, and
the removal Of a colorcd letter carrier ut
Toledo, Ohio, because his white Republi-
can brothers refused to do duty with
him, would seem to suggest the applica-
ton of the reconstruction remedies to
the condition of affairs existing in those
localities. The colored brother has cost
the nation too many lives and too much
treasure to be treated in this way. The
times are getting out of joint.-S!. Pull
Globe.
We agree with you, Mr. Globe The
colored man is deserving of as good
treatment as white man if he behaves
himself as we'll, and the white man who
would snub colored man, on account of
his color, deserves the condemnation of
every respectable citizen. Such things
were tolerated twenty years ago on ac-
count of the prejudices and ignorance of
the Southern masses, but to-day, in this
age of enlightenment, there is no excuse
for such sham aristocratic insolence north
or south. A man is worthy of treatment
according to his behavior, no matter
whether he be white, black or yellow.
