THE BOARD OF NORMAL
SCHOOL.

Regents of this state last week
adopted resolution to drop Latin,
Higher Algebra, Higher Geometry and
Trigonmotry from the course of Nor
NAL school studies. This is a proper
decision. More attention should be
given to practical studies which enter
into the business affairs of life. 1t
is no uncommon thing to meet per-
sons who have pursued the higher
branches of study in the schools who
cannot write we'll constructed sen
fences in English. and do not speak
their native language correctly. Stu
dents from the higher Institutions OF
learning, when called upon to draft q
business paper of any given kind. Otter
express the ideas aWkwardly. No &C
complishments acquired in the schools
surpass those of speaking and writing
well. Teachers in public high schools
have been known, who could not com
pose half dozen sentences with an,
degree of elegance or finish. Their,
have been clergymen fresh from theo
logical seminaries, who have dow
deep into the dead languages, but hav
come out empty.headed in respect to
knowledge Of human nature. One 0
the greatest requirements of knowl-
edge is to understand the present sit
uation and wants of the world. Thi
is of far greater consequence than t
know what the old writer's of antiquit
said and taught in the dead past.

The Congress now in session will
terminate inside of three weeks. No
business of importance has yet been
transacted. 1t has simply thus far
been do-nothing Congress. The
Democrats have majority Of fifty
seven in the House, and if they had a
will to do any thing they could do it,.
There seems to be disposition to cast
the responsibility of legislation on the
new Congress which is soon to come
into power. Both political parties
seem disposed to avoid the calling of
an extra session after the 4th of March
next, but unless better progress is
made it will be a necessity. The most
important of the appropriation bills
are yet to be passed, and without the
passage of these by the present Con-
gress the wheels Of government must
stop, unless the new Congress is at
once called by the President.

THE DYNAMITERS,

The London dynamiters, Cunning
ham and Burton, who are on trial in
London charged with conspiracy in
causing the explosion at London
Tower, are in a fair way of being
proven guilty, not only of conspiracy
but the charge of treason will, it is
thought, be sustained, the penalty OF
which is death. The testimony
against these two men is constantly
gaining strength, and their conviction
appears probable. If after full hear.
ing they are found guilty, every friend
of law and order will acquiesce in theil
merlted punishment. There is nc
crime so cowardly, mean and fiendisl
as that of dynamiter.

st. Marks Catholic church in this
city is in process of being taken down.
and the materials of which it was built
disposed of. The church was a brick
edifice, built in 1874, and at the time
of it's completion was probably the
most expensive church building in the
state outside of Milwaukee. The ex.
terror of the church, with well-pro-
portiOned steeple, m ade respectable
appearance. The congregation at the
time of the building of the church had
no men of wealth, but was composed
largely of day-laboring men. When
the building of the church was under
taken, Rev. Father KuEdig was the
pastor; he was man of decided ener-
gy, and by his energetic efforts the
necessary means we're procured for the
work. A new and elegant church hav-
ing been built, the old church was no
longer needed.

LIQUOR LICENSES.

The expectations entertained a few
weeks ago that the legislature of this
state would pass high license law are
in danger of being disappointed.
Assemblyman Pierce, of Milwaukee
first introduced bill fixing the price
of license uniformly at $500. Assem-.
blyman Friend, of Milwaukee, next in
troduced bill for a graded license,
fixing the price in cities of over 1907
900 inhabitants at $500. From this
sum the price is diminished according
to population, the lowest being 5000
for villages. 1t is said the members
of the legislature who favor change
in the license laws are about equally
divided as to the merits of these two
bills, and should there be no yielding
there is danger that both bills will
fail, and some sort of a bill that will
suit the liquor dealers, including not a
few of their Democratic friends, may
be- adopted.

The true condition of the Kenosha
County Court House is doubtless cor.
rectly represented by the examiners
above mentioned. The city and all the
towns are represented on the Board
of Supervisors, and it is reasonable to
conclude the members of the Board un.
derstand the wishes of the people in
their several districts The Supervis-
ors are invested with all the power
necessary to take such action as thew
see fit IN the matter, and probably do
not care for any newspaper advice as
to what should be done.

Many farmers, where apples are a
profitable crop says an Eastern ex-
change, are utilizing the roadside by
planting some near or on the road line.
TIE roots, of course, extend to the
road, get the wash from the droppings
of horses driven thereon. and other
wise fare much better than trees place
ed in fields kept in grass or grain.
Another advantage the apple tree by
the roadside has is plenty of room to
spread its branches and ample sun
light to color and give flavor to it's
fruit.

eye and almost within reach of my
hand are orange trees, in which the
symmetrical, magnificent golden globes
of fruit shine out ia profusion from
the glossy leaves like yellow incandes-
cent fire. Inever saw any thing more
beautiful than the orange tree with
its fruit. The sour orange which is
not regarded as valuable-is grown
along the sidewalks as an ornamental
tree, and as its fruit is as handsome as
the best. it certainly is ornamental.

SHARP TRANsAcT1oN.-S. B. Slight, an
insurance agent of this city, was victimized
recently by man named C. E. Jackson, an
accountant, 'and who represented that he
had been a wheat Spectator in Chicago,
but met with reverses. The two men have
been on intimate terms for about year
and jackson took occasion several times to
show his correspondence to Mr.. Slight, rep
rescnting that his mother resided in Mil
waukee and was in good circumstances.
etc. In the light of recent developments,
this show of confidence was intended from
the start as preparatory for a swindle
During the year the parties had business
transactions, in which jackson acted
squarely. Accordingly when, about three
weeks ago. he showed Mr.. Slight letter
dated and postmarked Milwaukee, in which
the writer said My dear SON | send you
a draft for the $3.50 you ask for, and hope
| in eight days to see you here in Miiwau-
kee," it was accepted as a fact that his
mother had sent him the money TO go East
with Jackson, to get the check cashed,
| had to have it Endorsed by parties known
at the bank, and Slight got two of his
| friends 10 do the indorsing. Soon after
wards Jackson disappeared, and meanwhile
Slight had been called up country on bust
ness When the latter returned he found
reason to believe that all was not right, and
sent dispatch to the bank in Milwaukee
making inquiry. The response showed that
neither Jackson nor Mary L. Jackson. y the
name signed to the order, had credit in the
| institution, and it is probable that Jackson
had some accomplice to write the q letter
| from his mother Slight has had TO make
good the $3.50 at the bank.
