THE Chronicle is ouite severe on MIR

HE Chronicle is quite severe on MIR.
Burch for resigning his position two
days before school opened. An advance
of $500 per year is quite temptation
and there are few who would resist it.
Still 1t must be admitted that contracts
with teachers are all one-sided. The
district is bound, the teacher is not.
| Every school board knows that teacher
compelled to perform his part of the
contract is better released. 1t has become
altogether too common for teachers to
engage school and then proceed to look
| for better one. In fact school boards
do not know in many cases when they
have teachers engaged on whom they
can rely. In many cases the superin-
tendent has been appealed to by teach
er, who having commenced the term in
one district is offered a better school
elsewhere, as TO whether he could be
held to his contract. The legal aspect
OF the case was the only one considered:
the moral obligation being wholly ig-
nored. This is bearing its legitimate
fruit IN some localities and some school
boards this year have each hired two or
three teachers. There are perhaps not
four duly qualified teachers in the coun-
ty who ere available, in excess of the
needs OF the schools of the county, and
still there have been on an average three
applications for every school in the conn
ty. and there are about ten districts
which have engaged each from two to
three teachers, while needing only one.
School boards act very literally with
teachers in releasing them when they
can do better. Mr.. Burch's case is
hardly deserving of criticism as it is said
he informed the board that he would take
better position if opportunity offered.

LARGE SALES IN DULL TIMES,

LARGE SALES IN DULL TIMES.
Our reporter was surprised to learn
from member Of the Rand & Roemer
Hardware Co., that their spring trade
had been largely in excess of that of last
year-surprised because 50 much has
been heard in this vicinity about 'dull
mes" largely accounted for by the low
prices paid for farm produce upon which
so much of the trade of this city depends.
Further inquiry elected the fact that the
Increased sales were not SO much on ac
count Of increased consumption, but
that the extremely low prices at which
goods had been sold was the inducement
to purchase. To illustrate this a few
sample quotations are given, and any
one at all acquainted with the trade will
readily see that they are "away down"

The above are prices for first class

was assured that all other articles of their
immense stock were offered at proportion
ately low prices. Such figures are bound
to make sales, and the Rand q Roemer
Harware Co., is prepared to meet all
demands for goods at those prices, and
shrewd buyers will avail themselves of
the opportunity.

The above society will meet at King
holz Hall on the Bird Saturday in Sep
TENDER.
At that meeting the following pro-
gramme will be carried out
Paper: Oganization, its benefits, F.
Ostenfeldt.
Paper: Flowing and Manuring, Geo.
Dalwig, Mr.. Gielow.
Paper: Reports of Committee in regard
to the products and exports of Manito-
voc county.
The session bids fair to be an interest
ing one and it is hoped there will be
good attendance.
THE demand for cheap but good goods
appears to be on the increase. Appreci-
ating this fact, O. Torrison has gone to
New York and other eastern cities for
the purpose of making his purchases for
the fall trade. There's great advantage
in buying direct from eastern markets,
for thereby the purchaser saves all pro-
fits otherwise given to middlemen in
nearer markets, and is enabled to retail
goods at lower price, but with the same
profit as those who buy nearer home.
Q. Torrison is the only merchant in the
city who has gone beyond Chicago to
make his fall purchases and he desires to
call the attention of his customers and
the public generally to the large stock of
goods which is now arriving. Among
these are the latest novelties in dress
goods, silks and in fact ell fashionable
dress goods. Is

THE bulk of the cotton crop Of
1886 has been gathered and market
ed. That it is an unusually large
one, goes without saying; yet, money
appears no more plentiful now than
a year ago, and the mortgages are
not all relinquished. There are still
balances due, here and there.
Much has been said, and sugges-
tions innumerable made, with the
view of remedying the present mort
gage system; but in our opinion, the
best, and perhaps, the only remedy,
laws in the hands of the farmer him
self. and that is, to economize aud
deny himself for year or two, raise
his own hog and hominy, until he
can run his farm Independently OF
the mortgaging Furnisher. As long
as he mortgages on all he has, or
expects to have, so long will he be a
slave to the merchant who advances
him his supplies. 1t takes buta few
years of such a system Of farming to
take all the life aud energy, the git
up -and-git cut of the best farmer OF
our country.

CHANGES IN The BUSINESS OF THE
CEN1ERs OF PoFuLATIoN.

CES1E ERs OF POPULATION.
Chicago has lost its monopoly OF
the wheat traffic, for some years past.
The pork packing and beef-dressing,
in which it leads all other Western
cities, is now being taken from it and
DIS ributed smong its rivals, Duluth,
Mi ne'polis, Kansas City, Milwau-
kee, Peoria, and other less known
cities. The gram and provision
trade no longer pays tribute to chat
city, but the products are sent Easf
more dire city from the local centers
of production. The first effect OF
stcam-rold and telegraphic commu
nicstion is to concentrate business
at certain points, but, subsequently
the same powerful agencies distrib-
ute business over vast areas of couu-
try. The growth of the region west
of the Mississippi is SIMPLY Phenom-
email. There is nothing like it or
any part of the earth to-day. Al
though agricultural land is taker
''p for farming purposes, to a grcat
extent, yet, curiously enough, it is
the centers of population which show
the most extraordinary growth.

The contract for building the lev

J. 8. McTighe, Of the firm of Toof,
McGo~an & Co, Of Memphis. 1t IS
understood that the work is to be
completed within the next sixty days.
Those competent to judge say that
this work will cause an additional

cussed Washington Police scandal.
lie does not feel, in the present CON
dltlon Of affairs, that he would be
warranted in taking hold of the mat
ter, although the time may come
when he may be called upon to take
some action. The President is still
deeply absorbed with the prepara-
ton of his message, and although he
is subjected to some unavoidable in
terruptiohs, the approaches to him
are closely guarded.
The Presidents appointment of
Mr.. Fulton rs Paymaster General Of
the Navy was very gratifying to ma
val officers, and his appointment of
Col. Moore as Surgeon General of
the Army was received with salts
fiction among officers of the army.
The regular Army officers who
have been exam n;ng the militia of the
States and Territories have reported
commencing the efficiency of the re-
spective organizations. They think,
however, that the armed militia of
the country would be doubled if Con-
gress would appropriate annual y a
much larger sum to be distributed
among the States for improved arms
and acoutrements. In the latter case
it is estimated that the militia would
consist of 100000 well drilled men,
who could be called into active ser
vice at a moments notice, and who
would be almost as effective at th,
outset of war, as the regular army.
Many conventions and associations
more than ever before-want I,
come TO Washington during the mex
year. The National Grange has de-.
cided to hold all future meetings OF
that order in Washington, and a
committee has been appointed t.
take measures for the erection Of a
suitable building here for its officers
and its sessions.
Soon after Congress meets there
will be large gathering of notabili-
ties here to discuss the proposed Ex-
position at W ashington in 1870 and
S2. And later there is to be con-
vention of an educational character
which will attract a great many peo-
pie. Il will be in the interest Of
Federal aid to common schools and
will be composed of school superin-
lendents from the various States and
Territories.
1t has been proposed that each
State of the Union shall erect in this
city handsome building to be used
as State headquarters, and perhaps
as a residence Tor the Senators of the
respective States. The plan, which
is likely to be carried out some time
would prove a great convenience to
each State, and would add much to

4 British peer, the Earl Of Ions
dale, and the owner of 0S,O6S acres
Of English soil, is now IN this couu-
try managing a burlesque opera
troupe. There has been n good deal
of scandal connected with the mat
ter. His lordship Is well known or

be a pugiIist who could hold his owr
in the prize ring with any OF its rut-
fan heroes. This singular person
has in bis gift hfty-rine livings in
the Episcopal Church of England.
That is to say, this sport, pugilist,
and manager of a low grade theatric-
al entertainment, has the appoint
ment of rectors and curates who have
the care of the spiritual welfare of
over 10000 members Of the Church
of England. In other words, he has
more liyings at bis disposal than any
of the following bishops: Carlisle,
Chester, Chichester, Ely, Exeter,
Hereford, Liverpool, Newcastle, Ro-
chester, St. Albans, Sodor and Man,
Southwell and Truro. Among the
temporal peers, those who nearest
approach to it are the Dukes of De-
