1t is to be regretted that there is not
more general love of study among the
young people of this community. That
students may progress rapidly, that
teachers labor may be most fruitful,
and that school may be most success
full, there need to be deep thirst for
knowledge, and a thorough appreeia-
ton of its worth, as n prevailing senti-
ment among the older students. To
the extent that these are lacking, the
teacher must feel that his efforts do not
produce expected results, and when
ever they are wanting it requires time,
perseverance, and the cooperation of
all possible agencies to secure them.
Every adult in Lancaster may do meal
culable good by offering a few words
occasionally to the young in pointing
out the Importance of study, and the
rich mine of enjoyment that underlies
it. No parent does his duty who neg
lects this. 1t is a grand work to arouse
interest and enthusiasm in scholarship.

During the session of the school
teachers, at the spring examination,
held in this city this week, there was an
attendance of about thirty-five teachers.
The work was thoroughly gone over,
under the personal direction of Super
intendent Harper, who is never so happy
as while engaged in propounding knotty
subjects to the teachers of Grant county.
The people are particularly fortunate in
having such an able and attentive man
at the head of the educational interests
of the county; and so long as he nils the
position so completely and satisfactorily
he should be retained. Under his faith
full management, the schools of Grant
county have achieved a standing second
to no other schools in the state BoSco-
bel Dial.

The enrolment of our School last
week was as follows: High School 81,
Grammar department SO, intermediate
department 80, second primary 20, first
primary 9S, total 30S. On account of
the increased attendance in some of the
rooms and the multiplicity of classes,
the Board of Education engaged Miss
Laura Woodhouse TO act as assistant
and teach classes from the High School
Grade Ed Second Primary and First
Primary. This addition to the faculty
will not only relieve some of the teachers
of excessive labor but will also allow
much more efficient work.

The reports from Ohio and Iowa
came in so favorable TO republican
papers previous to election day that
many of them were beginning to
chuckle over the kicking the democrats
were going to receive. The Tribune of
two weeks ago said that the democrats
ought to have their breast-plateS ad-
iusted to the rear, etc. We'll If the
republicans in Ohio did not get kick
ing, they got showed under out of sight !;
and the shower of democratic ballots
in Iowa, was SO heavy that it has taken
the republican officers of that state
more than "A week TO count them and
figure out the result. II is about as
hard to find the republican majority in
Iowa as if it was buried in snow
drift.

At Il recent meeting Of lumber man
ufacturcrs in Chicago it was decided
to curtail the production Of lumber.
The object is to increase the price by
diminishing the supply. These same
lumber barons pctitioned congress
last winter for the retention of the
duty on lumber on the ground of pro-
lection to American labor The party
which always hears the cry of monop-
Olics granted the prayer of their petit
ion. How inSinCcrc was the pretend
eel concern for the workingmen and
how completely the consumers Of 4
protected article are left at the mercy
choose To combine, could not be better
illustrated than 10y this action Of the
lumbrrmen. The prices Of lumber
will likely be increased, while Il lesser
number of worlmcn will be employed
ut reduced prices. Such is tie manner
in which American labor is benefited
by the robbery which goes by the
name of protection. The increased
price of lumber III consequence of Il
protective duty averaging more than
two dollars per thousand does not ben
eft labor one iota, but simply finds its
way into the pockets of lumber bar

Row i'm a Church.

MAQUokETA, Iowa, Oct. S.-A SEN
Sunday night at the Union Prohibition
meeting composed of the Methodist
and Congregational denominations.
The meeting occurred at the Methodist
church. and as it had been announced
that the people would be told how to
vote, the ediffce was densely crowded.
After the introduction of the Congre-
gational pastor, who delivered the ad-
dress, III. w. McCarron, strong pro-
hibition greenbacker, arose and asked
and asked whether the meeting was to
be in the interest of temperance and
Christianity. or in the interest of the
Republican party. If the former, he
would remain; if the latter he would
leave.
The congregation Kissed him, and
the pastor called upon the deaconS to
put him out. He then turned upon the
ministers and denounced them us hyp-
ocriteS and unworthy of the name of
Christians. The deacons made rush
for him and attempted to drag him
out. His daughter called ON the con-
gregatlon to hear her father, as he was
right. His friends then rushed to the
rescue, and scuffie enSued.
In the heat of the excitement noses
were punched, and one deacon received
"A blow on the neck, but owing to his
position he was unable to turn the
other side to his asSailants. McCarron
| freed himself from the deacons, and
was permitted to leave quietly. Sew
eral old supporters of the Methodist
church followed him and did not re-
turn. When order was restored the
meeting went on. Members of the
church were instructed to unite in
earnest pray er from morning till night
for the success of the cause.

The campaigns of the last two years
are full Of encouragement to the dem
ocratic tariff rcformers who are striv-
ing to have their party make an open
manly fight for commercial freedom in
the campaign Of 1881. Tariff reform
made votes for the democrats among
the farmers of Ohio and Iowa, last
week; and last fall Frank lIurd was
elected in Il manufacturing district on
Il tariff for revenue only platform, and
scores Of democratic congressman
were elected on the same issue. In
every instance where the issue was
strongly pressed large gains for the
advocates of freedom was the result.
Farmers are not so blind to their ma
terial interests, nor are working men
possessed of so narrow minded self
ishuesS as policy politicians would
have rs believe. If our party leaders
will fcarlessly go before the country
on the issue of tariff reduction they
will thereby eXCmplify an implicit
faith III the people, which is the foun-
dauon Of all true democracy. and the
result will undoubtedly be Il sweeping
victory for the party which is 10y ira
dition and by right the champion of
freedom of trade and the foe of class
legislation. Lee every individual
democrat do his utmost towards haV-
ing principle and not policy prevail i'll
shaping the course of his party in the
next campaign.

The Evening Wisconsin hit wide of
the mark when the day after the cleo
tions in Iowa and Ohio it said:
at was bad day for democrats.
They should have prayed for rain in
Iowa and Ohio. A sunshiny day is
the bane of democrats. the blessing of
republicans. 1t would be mean to say
that the democracy loves darkness
rather than light because its deeds are
evil; but the fact remains that it loves
darkness and hates sunlight whenever
election day comes around. And ex-
perience proves that it has good reason
for SO doing.
Later returns dispelled the Wiscon-
sins bright visions of republican
victory. and 1t has quit quoting scrip
ture for the benefit OF the democracy.
and amuses itself by abiding to the
prohibitionists in the republican party
as temperance fanatics and "prohi-
bition cranks."

Darlington Democrat: 1t is now
quite we'll understood that Gen. Harm
den. will stick; also Ole Lottridge; al
so Kutchin; also Bean. The power of
politics and political managers is well
illustrated in this matter. The depart
ment decided that economy and proper
regard TO business principles requir-
ed consolidation of the four Wisconsin
districts. The order was given: Harm
den and kutchin dropped. A howl at
once went up and it has been heard at
Washington. The howl was because
Harnden, the efficient officer and old
soldier was not retained and I4ottridge
dropped Now it appears that the de-
partment dare not carry out the order
dropping Harnden, for political rea-
sons. and for political reasons Senator
Cameron insists that Lottridge shall
stick. So for political reasons, the
move for economy IL this state is ut an
end. Business principles are thrown
overheard and the grand old party"
goes on fooling the people.

Protectionists are ever and anon

Protectionists are ever and anon
striving to make workingmen believe
that in sustaining high protective
tariff lies their only hope of gaining
livelihood. 1t is claimed that almost
every branch of industry is dependent
upon the high tariff for existence.
For the last year or two every shut
ting down of works and discbarging Of
workingmen was, according to pro-
tectionists, attributable to the threat
ened tariff revision. AS the tariff has
been reVised-although without any
material reduction,-anda as republi-
can majority in the senate insures it
against any further reduction for
some time to come, some other reason
must now be offered when works are
shut down and men are thrown out
of employment. We were on the look
out to see what that reason would be,
but was not little surprised to find
that protectiOnists had the affrontery
to declare that such depressions are
owing to reduction in the tariff made
by the last congress-" although such
reductions are only imaginary and
have no foundation in fact. well, y
said one of our citizens to a number Of
others one evening last week, / " don't
care which party wins, so long as the
tariff is not lowered" He then went
on to tell about a copper mine over in
Michigan which last year gave en-
ployment to six hundred men, and
this year only gave employment to one
hundred at reduced wages. This was
attributed to reduction of the tariff
But one of his hearers happened to be
Il reader Of the Iowa State Leader
and was somewhat posted on import
duties. and pointed out that the cop
per tariff was not changed ut all by
the last congress; that the copper in
t4rcst sent a strong lobby to Washing
ton last winter and were thereby en-
ablcd to have the old duty on copper
remain untouched. In this case the
discussion turned out all right; but it
is so long and so complicated that
almost anything can be laid 1T its
door, and if the proof is not at hand
it must 90 unchallenged

The Evening Wisconsin refers TO
Senator James +. Wilson as great
political leader of Iowa, and thinks
that because he saved the state to the
republicans his friends will now push
him for the presidency. The man who
prevents state from going dem
ocratic in these latter days is surely
entitled to the republican nomination
for the presidency, and The Wiscon-
sin should hoist Senator Wilson's
name at once.

LII the public schools of New Haven,
Conn, new course of study, called
newspaper geography, has been
adopted. This consists of requiring
the student to trace out. on his map,
the places referred TO in news reports
of the daily papers. In this way he
finds that dreary monotony of study
ing geography greatly alleviated, and
in consequence of an interest which
seems inevitable, even to the most lazy
pupil, he has at once a desire to aScer-
tam the exact location of important
events of the day, and when they are
once found, he retains the location i'll
mind. SO far as tried, the new study
has proven very satisfactory.

The result of the recent election i'll
Ohio aud Iowa ought to make tariff
reformers take heart. In Ohio the tar
III question played prominent part in
the campaign, and democratic speakers
and newspapers faced the music man
fully: and the result WAS large gains
for the democratic party in the coun-
try districts. In Iowa the parties join
ed issue Squareiy.-for protection and
against protection: and 10 this queS-
ton the ablcst speakers generally paid
the most attention. The result in Iowa
also shows large gains for the demo
Gratis in the agricultural districts. The
lesson which these results teach is that
the farmers of the country are not
blind to their interests and that they
will sustain the democratic party III an
open, manly fight against the robbery
which goes by the name of protection.
