On Saturday morning, Dec. 20, an
armed mob of one hundred men
attacked the court house at Traverse,
Dakota, broke in the door and re-
moved the county safe. Report says
that the sheriff attempted to resist
the mob, but was Immediately
covered with a dozen Winchester
rifles. The facts in the case are as
follows: At the late election, Will
mott had majority of votes cast for
the county seat, but on account Of
ballot-box stuffing and intimidation
the eanvassing board rejected two
towns, thus giving Traverse major
ity. A mandamus was served on
the board, but after argument by
Judge Smith, was quashed.

The state board of charities and
reform has sent out a pamphlet en-
titled Poorhouses: their Location
and Construction" This paper was
prepared by Hon. III. III. Giles, who
has been a member of the board for
the past fourteen years. 1t was read
before the national conference Of
charities and corrections, held in St.
Louis in October last, and received a
general endorsement. As stated in
a note explaining the purpose of the
board in sending it out, it deserves
the attention of every public officer
who has to deal with poorhouses OF
pauperism, and of every intelligent
or public spirited Citizen

Governor Cleveland continues to
receive presents, and religiously
adheres to his resolutions to send
them all back. A gold bound cask
Of rum from A. J. Coughlin, of
Binghampton, N. Y, was the last.
The present was returned with the
following note:
DEAR sIR-Your letter of the 5th and the
liquor therein referred to have been received.
My objection to the receipt of presents does not
rest entirely upon their "suggestiyeness," as
you term 1t, if YOU by thata suggestion of obi
CATION in official conduct am averse to gifts
naturally, and because, if they are from a
stranger, can see no reason why they should
be bestowed. My election to office merely
obliges me to perform the duties of such office
for the compensation allowed, l thought |
made my desires on this subject very plain in
the letter which was recently published and ]
must be permitted tohave my way in the matter.
thank you none the less sincerely for your
kindness, while must decline yonr gift. will
return the same by express tomorrow. Yours
very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

In order to obtain appointment as
public printer Sterling P. Rounds
asked for the recommendation of
editors and printers throughout the
country. Members of the craft,
democrats as well as republicans
RELY responded to his request. But
Mr.. Rounds had no sooner received
the appointment than he became a
violent partisan. and continually
used his position to further his party
ends. 1t is stated on good authority
that portion of the force under his
charge, while receiving pay from the
government, were sent to Cincinnati
in October, and acted there under
government pay as deputy marshals
at the polls. Shortly after March
4th, Mr.. Rounds will in all proba-
bility be made to walk the plank.

One serious drawback to the new
plan o. biennial election, is the fact
that county superintendent OF
schools are less likely to be elected
on their merits, without regard to
which political party they belong,
than formely. Under the new reg
ulation county superintendent will
always be voted for on a long ticket,
when the contest is simply a trial OF
strength between the parties, and
the fitness of candidate for the posi-
ton will generally be over looked in
an exciting campaign. So many
old hard working, efficient superin-
tendents were retired by the recent
election as to call out the following
editorial notice from the Wisconsin
Journal of Education:
lone of the unpleasant incidents resulting
from the biennial elections, is the necessity thus
enforced of officially parting with old associates
in the work of the superintendency. Letters re-
ceived from some of the county superintendent
who are to retire from the work. indicate very
clearly that their connection with and interest in
the schools under their supervision were not
| altogether or largely mercenary, but had come
to occupy large measures of their thought, study
and anxiety, so that the progress and success of
teachers and taught were their comfort and de-
light and the signs of retrogression, or lack OF
growth or failure, on the part of either, were
their disappointment and grief.
AT the conventions of county superinten-
dents, and in the fields of their immediate and
regular labor, Supts, Mclaughlin, Lunn, Taylor,
Morgan, Greene, Hsughton and others, who now
retire from the work. will be greatly missed.
The value OF the long experience the ability, the
conscientious fidelity, which such men have
contributed to the cause of efficient public
schools, cannot be estimated in current coin. 1t
is to be hoped their official mantles will fall
upon equally able and faithful successors who
VIII continue to administer the trust until ex-
perience as long renders them equally efficient
and valuable"

when twenty or thirty fish will rise at

The Norwegian Horse.

The small, plump, cream-colored an
imal in front Of you has a number OF
distinctly Norwegian traits which are
certain to excite measure OF interest.
He displays an almost human degree
of intelligence in accurately adjusting
his actions to the circumstances In
which he happens to find himself.
Whips being luxury in the country,
and more often than not dispensed
with, the shrewd quadruped proceeds at
the outset 10 discover in a thoroughly
methodical and almost scientific man
ner whether his new driver possesses
one of these Objectionable instruments.
He begins by turning his head, which
is unincumbered with blinkers and by
this process Is able to frame an initial
hypothesis. He then goes Oh to verify
his conjectures by number of tenta-
tive experiments such as stopping short
some yards this side of hill or gate.
He seems thoroughly to understand
the conditions on which he is let out to
the tourist, and knows his duty far too
we'll to allow himself to be overworked
and SO rendered unfit for tomorrow 8
task in his owners meadows. He will
trot down a steep hill at rate that Is
calculated to frighten novice, but
strenuously insists on taking every rise,
however gradual, at q creeping pace.
This is apt to exasperate the average
British tourist, who has imported the
habits of city life into these sequestered
regions, and who calculates on time.
But the experienced Norwegian traveller
knows better than to make rigid calcu-
lations. ReuietD.
