EDUCATIONAL REFORM.

Mr.. MCCLUNG hit the nail Squarely on
the mead when he said in the chamber of
commerce yesterday that more attention
ought to be paid to the physical welfare of
pupils in the public schools. The GLOBE
has on several occasions discussed the de-
fleets in our public school system. and to
our mind there is none more patent than
that which neglects the physical condition
of children. Speaking from a professional
standpoint. DR.. DAY presented forcible
argument in support of Mr.. McCLUNG's

The stock market was active again yester-
day and prices opened strong, and some OF
the active stocks made advances from Satur-
days quotations. The Changers were highest
at the opening and lowest at the close, st.
Paul closing IA and Northwestern rs per

THE ELDER WISE.

The nomination Of John WISE by the Re
publicans of Virginia as their candidate for
governor has stimulated FRANK a. BURR
10 publish some "reminiscences of the elder
WISE, who was leader of the Southern
Democracy in ante-bellum days and the
most electric speaker of his times HENRY
\. WISE. the father of the Republican can
didate, was a tall. nervous. skinny man
weighing about $50 pounds, with large. gray
and deep-set eyes, prominent nose and thici;
lips. He was an excessive chewer of to-
bacco and never withouta quid in his mouth.
Although intensely sectional in his feelings.
Gov. WISE was never a friend of slavery.
He always said that it stood as bar to the
progress of the South. but never conceded
that the government had the right TO eman-
cipate the slaves. While he Joined the Sc
| cession movement he argued against the
right and policy of it. He thought that the
South ought TO fight, but wanted TO fight in
the Union. lie always protested devotion
to the old flag, yet was singu-
larry bitter toward those who fought
mixture of statesman and fanatic.
And yet he was honest as the day was long.
Wise was the WENDELL PHILLIPS of the
South. The wonderful canvass he made
against Know NOthingism will never be for
gotten. and the bitter invective, biting sar-
casm and brilliant scintillations of wit
poured out by the man who afterward
hung JOHN Brown are well remembered by
the older generation. Nj. BURR recalls one
of the most powerful and, withal, one of the
| funniest speeches he ever made i'm his life.
which was delivered at Alexandria, during
the Know Nothing canvass. After speak
ing of the curse of slavery to the state and
of the wonderful mineral and other re-
! sources of the Old Dominion, Gov WISE
said: And yet commerce has long ago
spread her sails and sailed away from YOU.
You have not as yet dug more than coal
enough 10 warm yourselves at your own
hearth. You have set no tilt-hammer of
/ VULCAN to strike blows worthy of the god.

on the single power Of agriculture, and such
| agriculture, Your sedge patches outshine

RTEL holds on to the belief that GOD is on
his side. GUITEAU had the same impression
but it didn't save his neck. NAPOLEON used
10 say that the LORD was on the side OF the
heavy artillery. The proper thing for RIEI
to do is TO stand right up 10 the rack, and If
death is his fate let him die like man, and
not like a cringing coward.

Be sad and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared vine,
But alone you must drink LIES gall.

Fast and the world goes by;

But no man can help you 10 die.

For long and lordly train.
But one by one we must all file on

ever held in Laramie county since its
organization. 1t convened on the 9th day
of November and adjourned on the 9th
day Of December, Just one month, includ-
ing Thanksgiving day and the day Of the
funeral of Vice President Hendricks, on
which two occasions there was no session
Of the court. At the beginning Of the
term there were about seventy cases on the
civil calendar to be disposed Of and
twenty-three on the chancery docket.
Besides these there were a large number
of old county and city criminal cases,
which came over from the preceding term,
tesides the criminal cases which originated
during the term by indictment, etc, so
that in all there were nearly l25 cases of
various kinds which have been acted upon
during the term. Judge Lacey is entitled
to the thanks of the people Of this county
for the way be has pushed the business OF
the term, thereby saving Il great deal OF
expense.

The weather is a topic that is always
in order. Yesterday it absorbed the at
tention of all. No one could be found
who had a good word to say for it. Mer
chants were disguised, for it meant a dull
day, Pedestrians growled as the snow
crunched beneath their weary feet. The
girls, bless their hearts, were Disguised
because they were unable to wear their
new hats in which they look 50 charming
as they trip along the streets. The storm
prevented the telegraph wires from doing
their usual wsrk and its effect will be no
ticed by the meagerne,s of t~elegraphic
news. The Western Union line men were
especially put out by the storm. Some
of them were repairing the broken pole
at the opera house corner and every one
who came by stopped and remarked,
Hello, the pole is broken, amt it?''
Finally the foreman, having said YES,
this pole is broken" until his jaws ached,
got disguised. He walked into THE
LEADER office and wrote his answer on a
card and stuck it up on the pole. aud
thereby secured peace OF mind.
