Glenwood.

APR. 20.--PrOf. Cogan was educated
in Ireland and entered the r. c. priest
hood. He came to Minnesota about
dozen years ago and became a professor
in st. Joseph College. Becoming dis
affected he came to the vicinity of
Grove Lake and established school
known as st. Paul's Academy. This
he has successfully conducted for sew
eral years. He determined to remove
it to more eligible site. Bonuses
were offered at Willard and Sank Cen
tire. After accepting liberal proposals
made to him at Sank Center, he came
to Glenwood. He preferred this point
to others, and thought of locating here
some years ago. 1t is said that Web
ster and Thorson offered to him ten
acres of land in the grove south of the
village, bordering on Lake Minnewas-
ka, and that the authorities of the vii
lage pledged to add $500 to the mu-
nificent land grant. 1t was supposed
that the bargain was closed. But he
| writes that Sank Centre will not re-
lease him. So our cake is dough.
There is many slip twixt the cup and
the lip. 1t is said he keeps Goddess
school, with no religion in it. Some
| think this a commentator. All our
schools should be non-sectarian, but
truly religious, christian morality
| should be inculcated and eXemplitied.
They should be located where the sur
roundings are elevating, not degrad-
ing; where profanity, Sabbath break
ing, intemperance and kindred evils
do not abound, but where christian in
fluence prevails. Where is SUCH a
place to be found? l..
In promulgating your esoteric cogi-
tatiOns, or articulating your superficial
sentimentalities and amicable, philo-
sophical or psychological observations,
| beware of platitudinous ponderosity.
| Let your conversational communica-
| tons possess a cOnciseness, a COM
pacted comprehensiveness, cOalescent
consistency, and concentrated CO.
gency. Eschew all cOnglOmeratiOns
of tiatulent garrulity, jejune babble-
ments and assinine affection. Let
your eXtemporaneous descantings and
unprecedented eXpatiations have in
teiligibility and veracious vivacity,
without rhOdomontade or trashonical
bombast. Sedulously avoid all poly
syllable profundity, pompous prolix-
ity, posittaceous vacuity, yeptriloquial
verbosity, and vandiloquent Vapidity.
Shun double ententes, prurient jocosi-
ty, and pestiferous profanity, obscur-
rent or apparent. In other words, talk
plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly,
truthfully, purely. Keep from
"slang"; say what you mean; mean
what you say, and don't use big
words Exchange.

recently issued by the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company:
ST.. PAUL, MINI, April Is, 'S3.
TREE PLANTATIONS, N. p. r. r.
Circular No. 81
1t is the painful duty of the under
signed to announce the death of Hon.
Leonard b. Hodges, Superintendent
of Tree Plantations of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, which occurred at
his residence in st. Paul, OH Saturday,
April IA, at 8 z. NJ.
The loss by this event to the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, to the
State of Minnesota, to the public in
general, and to the cause of forestry i'll
particular, is simply irreparable.
The strong expression is used adVis-
eddy. Perhaps no man living had
studied the subject offorestry as adapt
ed to Minnesota and Dakota more
thoroughly, had devoted to it more
years of patient experimental lnvestl-
CATION, or had become more OF an en-
thusiast in seeking to demonstrate by
practical results the sOundess of his
theoretical opinions.
The successful completion of his five
years contract with the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, to protect
the exposed divisions of the line against
the possibility of snow blockades, and
at the same time to establish tree plan
| tations, encourage settlers to do the
same, and thereby ameliorate unfavor-
able climatic conditions, had become
| the great object of his life, upon com
pletion of which he had declared his
Willingness to die, feeling that his
| work had been successfully performed,
and legacy of inestimable value given
| to posterity.
But it has pleased Him whose de-
crees no mortal has right to question
to disappoint these hopes and eXpecta-
tions, leaving the railroad work or
ganized and commenced, but mn.
finished.
With Leonard B. Hodges conscien-
ciousness and fidelity to trusts were
| distinguishing characteristics. The
claims of duty were superior even to
| the ties of consanguinity. His last
thoughts were upon his tree planta-
tons, and the last worlds uttered ex-
pressed solicitude in reference to a sue
cessful completion, and named Mr..
William G.. Buttles, of Orinoco, Ohm
sted county, Mimi, as in his opinion
best qualified to perform the duties.
AS the season for active operations
has arrived, Mr.. Buttles has kindly
consented to superintend the work, if
not permanently, at least for the pres
ent season, and until other arrange
ments, if found necessary or desirable,
can be made.
William c.. Buttles is therefore ap-
pointed Acting Superintendent af Tree
| Plantations on the Northern Pacific
Railroad, and will enter upon duty

Expenditure for Education In
Florida"

The Jacksonville Times Union of Sun
day contains an excellent article under
the above caption, in which it refutes the
charge that the cause of education is neg
lected in Florida. 1t says:
highly esteemed New York contemporary.
one OF the most candid, uniformly, in all its rep
r. sensations, in recent article on education in
The several States pointed out in some detail the
small amounts expended by one Southern Stale
and another. Among others Florida is named
and Is set down as contributing no more than
100000 To The cause of public instruction
within its borders Unqueslionably this is
very small sum of money in comparison with
the magnitude of the educational interests in
v"lvcd; and at first the inference OF the writer
to our discredil, appears to he not without foun-
dation. But several facts and considerations of
decisive importance he entirely overlooks.
And our contemporary goes on very
property to direct attention to the OBJ
structions opposing educational service
and rendering it expensive, being mainly
the vast area of the State, the scattered
population, and the maintenance of sepa-
rate schools for the two races. But it
should not have accepted the figures given
by the New York journal, for instead of
*l0G, 900 the educational funds of Florida
amounted in 1882 to 1913 ,56S.l3, derived
as follows: County school tax, $l35,.
235.42; State school tax, $45 ,3327l; in
terest on school fund, $4,000. These
figures are increased in 1888. But even
accepting the figures Of the New York
Journalist, our Jacksonville contemporary
was enabled to make the following state
ment:
But the important consideration of our rea-
tive ability to pay for education, as indicated by
amount OF taxes assessed and collected by the
State, is entirely disregarded by snch stats tics
As those to which we have directed attention
The entire taxable property of the State of Flor
ida was in the year 1882 $3G 0OO, 900, very nearly
the precise amount of school property--nclud
ing lands, houses and boOks-belOnging to the
populous and wealthy State of New York but
in prolortion II her ttra5k property, Florida con-
trbuted IA little more to the education OF her
children than either the great State Of New
York or that other great State, Ohio, both of
them deservedly famed for occupying an ad
vanced position in the educational enterprise of
the day.
How much more gratifying it would
have been if, with correct statistics at
command, our contemporary had given
the advantage of its wide circulation to
the statement that Florida had proper
tionately contributed about twice as much
to the education Of her children as did
the State of New York or Ohio, instead
OF only " a little more"

Democratic Convention, which will meet here
tomorrow morning, will attract universal atten-
ton 1t is the result OF the first systematic at
tempt on the part of the Democrats of this State
both OF the Readjuster and Debt-paying wings
to reunite with the sole aim of beating Malone
bosssm in the State and getting solid organl-
cation in readiness for the Presidential year.
The delegates have been coming in all the even

mongrel coalition horde which assembled here
two years ago.
The main issue upon which the body propose
10 night, and to which all else will be subordi-
mated, will be opposition to Malone rule.
Among his bitterest opponents are several dele
gales who until recently were his warm political
followers, looking upon him as disinterested
patriot. Conspicuous among these are Corbin
Reynolds, who was State Treasurer on the
Malone ticket and who resigned in disgust be-

Judge Crawford Dead.

Judge Martin J. Crawford, one of
Georgia's most worthily distinguished
citizens, is dead. A dispatch from that
city to the New Orleans Times Democrat,
oath inst, says:
jude Martin J. Crawford died in this city
yesterday afternoon at $50 O'Clock after Il pro.
tracted illness. He was taken to Chipley last
week with hopes that the cool mountain air
would benefit him but he grew worse, and at
his own request was brought back last Saturday.
The news of his death cast feeling OF profound
sorrow over the entire State and wherever he is
known. He was about seventy years of aye and
has been prominent man in public affairs for
more than forty years He was chairman OF the
committee which consisted of Messrs Roman.
Forsyth and himself, appointed by the Conlcd-
eracy during the war to confer with the United
States with the object of establishing friendly
relations between the two governments and re
manned in Washington nearly year Later he
was appointed Senator To the Confederate Con.
gress. About four years ago he was appointed
Judge OF the Muscogee Superior Court, on which
bench he served two years. and was then ap.
pointed associate justice of the Supreme Court,
which position he held until his death.
