THERE must be unusual prosperity at Deming and enterprising business men there, if We are to judge Q town by the character and number of papers pub- lished.

FROM now until the 3d of June there will be a lull in politics. The lines have been drawn and the marshaling of forces will be going on in quiet way until the field day, when the tug of war will begin. Who will be the lucky one IS beyond the ken of man. It Is thought that BlHne's and Arthur's friends will be so evenly divided that neither will win, and that Bob Lincoln will be the compromise candidate. Every man has his choice of the men for President, but there is not one of the lot that would not command the full and hearty strength of the whole Republican party.

Our Schools.

Anything relating to our schools is
always of inter est to the readers of
the JOURNAL; and as what others say
of us is generally less biased than our
own opinion of our own affairs we are
led to quote at some length from the
report of the Board of Visitors to the
Fourth Normal School:
|. We find the local sentiment in
River Falls apparently quite favorable
TO the Normal School; ana SAID school
working in full sympathy with the
public schools of the village.
River Falls supports excellent
schools, including a good higher de-
partment. Between the school of the
state and the schools of the village we
observed healthy emulation, but
could discover no strife, no bitterness
of feeling.
We were highly pleased with this
state of affairs; and we hope the same
condition now exists wherever your
other state schools are found.
2. These pupils impressed us with
the great earnestness which they man
ifested in the pursuit of knowledge.
Every moment seemed precious to
them; every suggestion was carefully
treasured. We saw no idleness, we
saw no time going to waste.
The textbook was not the only
thing consulted by them; reference
books were freely used, and we infer
red from what we saw and heard that
at least some time was devoted to mis-
cellaneous reading and literary cul-
ture. This pleased us; it pointed to-
ward better teaching for our children.
The conditions for health seemed
most excellent.
We were pleased to see that every
| student in the Normal Grade was at
once put in the line of teaching either
| in the study or practice of profession
/ al doctrine. This continues over a
period of four years for those who re.
main in the school and take the full
course. The work is not simply cata-
logued. it is found in the school, II
was steadily pressed forward.
4. The outline of professional
work is a good one; it is progressive.
/ it advances from the simple to the
complex; it unites theory and practice
| 1t reaches up into the field of philoso
! phy, down into the field of labor.
The River Falls School is profession
al in another sense equally important.
! We allude to the efforts at the deyel
opment of thought from the text by
philosophic principles, and careful
interest in the habits of thought. To
state in palmer phrase what we mean,
we say this:
The classes were composed not OF
mere pupils but of coming teachers
who were studying The matter in
hand, not simply to know it, but how
to know il best with view to impart
| the same at some future time.

A call has been published for Re
publican Convention to be held at Du-
rand, March 9th, 1884, to nominate a
candidate for Circuit Judge of the
Eigth Judicial Circuit in opposition to
Hon. f. B. Bundy. Judge Bundy has
been called out as a candidate for re-
election, by goodly number of repre-
sentative men throughout the Circuit,
without regard to party affiliations
by men who are in sympathy with that
growing sentiment which seeks to re-
move SO far as possible the election of
judicial officers from the turmoil incl
dent to a partisan political campaign,
and AS he has proven himself an efli-
cient aud upright officer we take pleas
ure in endorsing his candidacy, feel
ing that in so doing we reflect the
sentiment of large majority of the
voters of Pierce county. AS we I'M
derstand the matter this opposition
movement is solely in the interest of
Eau Claire attorneys who have once
been foiled in an attempt to control
the Judgeship for the ensuing term,
and we believe that under these cir
it will meet with no sub
stantial encouragement from this
county. Now is the time for those
who believe in comparison judici-
airy to prove their fidelity to this prin-
ciple by supporting Judge Bundy for
reelection.

Our Kansas Letter.

lola. KANsANs, Jan. 30, 1884.
DEAR JouRNAL:-You do not know how
welcome you are down here in Kansas.
Every week since we have been here we
have gladly greeted your pleasant face
and closely scanned your local columns
bearing items of local interest from all
parts Of the county which was once our
home, scarcely week passing that We do
not see the name of some person whose
hospitality we have enjoyed. -Four
years seem long to look back, in one
sense, and in another it seems very short
We have passed four very pleasant years
in Kansas, and ifthe Lord wills we expect
to spend many more here. As whole
the climate is very pleasant. Occasional
ly we get few days Of Northern "bliz.
yards" but they are of short duration and
comparatively harmless. Then, again,
we have the hot winds; from whence
they come has never been reported, but
they make themselves felt, often doing
damage to late corn which ripens up in
one day; but crops are as sure here as in
any other place we have ever lived, the
soil being very productive. The people
here are of social habits. We nave just
passed through hard winter, though
short. After January we consider the
winter about over. Ground is almost
ready for the plow. Corn is generally
planted here from March Goth to April
18th; much is planted later but those who
plant late take the risk of the fall drouth
and hot winds to which we have re erred.
We raise principally the large corn, but
much early corn is also raised. Wheat
and oats are not grown very extensively
here this being a corn and stock country.
| Further west is the wheat belt which re-
lies almost exclusively upon wheat. The
| next belt west is lit only for grazing pur-
poses and will not produce crops with
| any degree of certainty. The State is
| thus divided into three districts-the
eastern one-third, central and western.
| We reside in the eastern, what is called
| has rain i'll the season OF crops, while the
central mas rain sufficient i'll the season
| to raise large crops of wheat, but corn is
uncertain there. We have good mar
kets here. At present hogs are worth
$500 on foot; corn rom 80 to 80 cents;
butter 20 cents; e.gs IS cents; hay $500
per ton.
As my letter is already long will close
tor this time, and if acceptable, may
write again in the near future as there is
much that might yet be written.
Yours, &c,
j. RosENBERGER.

and confessions of the late John ID.

in the horrible butcheries of Noun
tain Meadows Massacre. 1t details the
terrible wrongs and sufferings of Mrs.
Brig. Hampton, wife of one of the
Mormon leaders. 1t is certainly one
of the most thrilling aud interesting
books ever issued from the press. If

from the face of the earth. We call

WHY Not Tell Of Your Success at Homer

saw in the last issue of Gleanings in
Bee Culture, a letter written by A. G.
Sanford, of Ono, Pierce Co., Wis, in
which he tells of getting 5000 lbs. OF hon
ev from 30 colonies of bees last season;
also he says he sold most of it at home at
10 cts. per lb. Think he must live in a
honey loving community. AT 10 cts. a
ID. it is about as cheap az the best syrups,
and is superior to any of them with most
people. So we are not surprised at his
success in selling. But why is it that
reports are only published in Bee Jour
nails, there are | thin only 4 persons IN
Pierce and st. Croix counties that take
such journal. Why not publish them
in our county papers? An industry that
will bring in 5000, (if we count the in
crease its nearer $1,000 during a few
months in summer, and requiring but
very little of persons time, surely de-
serves notice Mr.. S. is not the only
man who is making money with bees. L
know of four persons within the above
named counties whose aggregate income,
if we count the increase, is $1,000 for this
last season. Agriculture is not their chief
occupation, either | imagine some OF
YOU are ready to ask me if bee keeping Is
SO profitable why is it that you want to
sell? 1t was with great deal of hest
fancy that | had my advertisement pub
lished. Had thought perhaps it would
be better for me to increase my stock as
fast as possible and reap my reward and
keep quiet, as the rest are doing. Were
/ living on a farm / should do this. But
have started out as specialist, and be-
lieving that selling bees and supplies, will
open up larger field of usefulness for
myself and family concluded to adver-
tise. Bees are now sold by the pound.
/ am living where l can get them by ex-
press any time that want them and if
SELL it is only to buy more.
