If Speaker Fairchild has exercised the
same judgment in the composition of his
committees generally that he has in the
committee on education, he is not en-
titled to much praise. Prof. Thayer
should have been made the chairman of
the committee on education. He is not
only one of the ablest teachers of the
state but man of affairs. a good Judge
of men aud of the effect of measures.
Perhaps better man for the head of the
educational committee could not be found
in the state, uniting knowledge of the
history of education with good sense and
a rare amount of Influence among men.

VAN WICK republican o. 8. senator
from Nebraska will be retired to private
life if he persists in his present course of
attempting to make the railroads do jus
tice to the people. He deserves the
gratitude of the people, but so did Thur
man but be committed political suicide
by daring to make the Q. P. railroad
prov de for paying its debt to the United
States. The same fate awaits Van Wyck.
The people will slaughter him at the
command of railroad corporations. The
following is a portion of a speech lately
delivered by him in the senate:
In Kansas and Nebraska fifty bushels
of corn will not purchase one ton of soft
coal; $50 bushels will not buy one ton of
hard coal. Your sympathy expands for
the pauper labor of Europe and India,
while your hearts seem steeled against
the cry for bread of the Americans who
are forced to work at starvation wages,
or have their places supplied in the mines
by the specially protected mine owners
by pauper and convict labor imported
under contract from Europe.
Corporations behind four billions of
stolen property for years controlling the
state legislatures, national, congress and
judiciary, as remorselessly as did slavery,
need not the sympathy or active support
of the senators. 1t is the toiler seeking
labor in the furnace heat, in the under
ground labyrinth, the settler in the dug
out on the frontier of Kansas and Ne
braska, whose wives and children are
drawing warmth from corn because the
great corporations refuse to reduce the
rates of freight SO the coal of Pennsylva
MIA may be exchanged for the corn of the
West.
For twenty years these corporations
have grown rich, strong and defiant, in
violation of law and now let us see to it
that the protection Of law shall be given
to those who are victims of their ex-
tortion.
Van WICK will find himself outside his
party lines if he thus continues to in
tim lte that protection has not been wholly
in the interests of the laborer. Brown
of Georgia, a democratic senator, pro-
tectiopist and q railroad man, in replying
to Van Wyck said two and one half acres
of land situated within the present city
Atlanta sold for a horse saddle and bride
before railroads had being, now the same
land is worth SIS, 100000 the increase
being due to railroads. Nor rotectionist
will gainsay the truth Of this statement.
There would BE no such thing as increase
in value if manufacturers and railroads
we're not protected. Railroad Brown
would allow railroads to rule the land,
Cypress the people and do just as they
please because of the ridiculous assump-
ton that the increase in values is owing
solely to them. These are the arguments
by which people are hoodwinked and it
is belief in them which is giving the
country to the keeping of monopolists.

A BILL has been introduced in the leg
islature msking diplomas of the Milwau-
kee school board issued to graduates of
the normal department of that high
school, the equivalent of unlimited state
certificates when countersigned by the
state superintendent. It is to be hoped
tho bill will not pass, and for several
reasons, the chief of which is, the Mil
waukee schools are completely isolated
from the schools of the state. Superin
tendent Anderson is prominently the
best superintendent of schools Milwaukee
has ever had, being able, enthusiastic
and fully abreast with the times in ed
ucational matters. Not 80 able on the
platform as DR.. MacAllister, he is far
more practical and an ADLER teacher
though not 50 brilliant a theorist. But
his example in being always participant
in the discussion Of educational matters
at meetings of associations, always lead
or but never so wrapped up in his own
accomplishments as not to be learner
as we'll, has not to any extent influenced
the teachers under his charge, and there
is good reason to believe their inditfer
ence is source of annoyance to him.
Aside from Superintendent Anderson,
Prof. Maple, Mr.. Desmond and Miss
Stewart not one of the teachers of Mil
waukee participates in any of the state
educational gatherings. They are wholly
unknown to the teachers of the state and
seem to have no sympathy whatever with
public education outside Of Milwaukee.
When Milwaukee teachers evince a dis
position to take more interest in educa-
tional matters generally, it will be time
enough to thus distinguish the graduates
Of the normal department of it's high
school.

MILWAUKEE business men are very
much dissatisfied with the two leading
railroad companies of the state in dis
eliminating against Milwaukee in favor
of Chicago in freight rates. From all
points in Wisconsin touched by these
roads, freight to Milwaukee is as high as
to Chicago even when the distance to the
litter place is three times that to Mil
waukse. For instance, freight to Milwau-
kee from WATERFOWL, A miles, is the
same as from Watertown to Chicago 129
miles. On the other hand freight from
points east and south of Chicago to that
place are less than from the same points
to Milwaukee. Freight on those roads
in the state which run to Chicago via
Milwaukee are higher from points in the
state to Milwaukee than for the same
distance on any road within the state to
Milwaukee having that city for terminal
station, except where those Chicago roads
an instance, freight rates from Manitowoc
on the Lake Shore & Western to Mil
waukee are about one.half of what they
are from Randolph to Milwaukee on the
Mil. & st. Paul the distance being the same
and are less than one half than from Mad
ison to Milwaukee on the G. & n. W.,
there being only four miles difference in
the distance. The rates fixed for Mil
waukee are on the basis of the long run
to Chicago. This injustice Milwaukee
is determined not to stand and the legis-
lature will be asked to take some action
in the matter. 1t does not affect US Of
Manitowoc further than the principle
involved and it is to be hoped our rep
ressntatives will act in the interests of
the people.
