destroyed. The mail had fallen in
the wheels when thrown from the
cars, and dragged until torn to bits.

Harper's Magazine for February
maintains the strength which charac-
terized the December and January
numbers. Every article in it makes
a point. The illustrations leave
nothing to be desired, and the variety
of its contents is as noteworthy as
their excellence.
The number opens with thorough
study OF the present condition of the
British navy, by Sir Edward Reed,
late Chief of Construction in the Ad-
miralty, who notices at some length
the influence of American upon Euro
pean naval construction. Poems are
contributed by Miss Dora Reed Good

good.

Report of Teachers Association Held at RiUer Fai
JdHudyg 18th 1886

Report Of Teachers Association Held at RiUsy fails
January 10th. 1886,
The meeting was called to order by
Supt. Murphy. at 10 o'clock A. NJ. The
attendance was good, considering the
weather. A very few minutes were
spent in listening to quotations from
those who had been fortunate enough
to see the programme or chose to con-
slider themselves American authors. "
Then, as Prof. Friedel wished a few
minutes to complete his apparatus and
Prof. Dudgeon and R. B. Hazard were
not present, President Parker present
ed the subject, "The Relation of
Schools to Health" to very attent.
i've audience. His opinion is that
teachers will succeed better if they
wait until they have gained the good
will of the parents before introducing
and insisting upon changes in and
about the building though the disad-
vantages are great. The question of
when shall the effects of alcoholic
liquors and narcotics be taught in our
schools was discussed, Prof. Thayer
stating that it is the desire of the
State Superintendent to have it taught
to every pupil in the public schools
without regard to age or advancement,
and our Superintendent, Professors
King and Friedel maintaining that a
certain amount of advancement should
be reached before taking up the SUBJ
ject. Prof. Friedel next showed a
few of the effects of electricity by
means of battery constructed for the
purpose. He proposed that the teach
ers of the county interest the larger
boys and girls in making apparatus
and trying various experiments for
themselves. Instruction about and
experiments with the machines are to
be given as a general exercise. Much
interest was manifested and many lin
gered to examine the battery and 9TH
er implements closely after the motion
to adjourn was put ana carried.
Afternoon session called to order by
Supt. Murphy who stated that an elec-
ton of officers for the Association Of
the towns of River Falls, Martell and
Clifton was in order. Officers elected
were Charles Friedel, President; NJ.
Collins, Vice President; NJ. G. Warne,
Secretary.
A paper on Science Teaching in the
Common Schools was read by F. II.
King, who gave some practical illus
trations of how Science Teaching may
be made help in other school studies,
especially Language.
A brief recess was followed by a
talk on Professional Preparation for
Teaching, by J. b. Thayer.
Discussion following was participant
ed in by w. d. Parker, Chas. Friedel
and J. A. Murphy.
A paper on Teaching United States
History, prepared by III. NJ. nelson,
was read by County Superintendent
Murphy. The paper outlined methods
used in teaching History. An anima-
ted discussion followed in which
Messrs. G. Friedel, F. II. King, NJ. Col
Inns, J. B. Thayer, J. A. Murphy and
w. D. Parker took part.
w. d. Parker moved that County
Superintendent Murphy be requested
to give us talk on Geography. Mo-
ton carried.
After a brief talk, and an exercise
conducted by County Superintendent
the session adjourned.

And yet in the light of these facts l

people of the Sth Congressional Dis
trict of Wisconsin are destitute OF
that rugged sense of honesty, and
possessed of so sleight sense of
justice that they would enthrone on

You say that this vote sought to
terminate my public career" Possi-
bly, it ought. To me, personally, this
is matter of MO very great solicitude,
but think your prediction is no more
profound than your judgment was
just; and | think so because in the
first session of the 4Sth Congress /
voted and spoke. almost alone, against
this same vicious system of legislation,
in the bill to increase the pensions of
Kate L. Cushing and of the widow of
General Thomas and Henry S. Hunt,
and on the bill to abolish the possibil-
ity of acquiring title to land by the
timber culture act, or by presumption,
and based my opposition on the ground
that it was legislation which discrim-
mated in favor of class and against
another class. In the second session
of the 48th Congress l voted nearly
alone against retiring General Grant.
because to pass the bill we were COM
PEELED to pay another man 81 900 for
less than ii minutes services as
member of Congress, and it conferred
no additional honor upon Grant, nor
contributed to his comfort, as he had
abundant means of respectable sup
port without it, and because so many
others equally deserving were
starving.

FACING THE MUSIC.
Congressman w. T. Price Replies to
One of his Critics in a Characteristic
Manner.
Reasons Given for Voting against Pensioning
Mrs. Grant Some very sharp Thrusts
at an Editor.

The Chicago Inter-0cean made a fu-
rious attack upon Congressman VIM.
T. Price. of this District, because of
his negative vote upon the bill to PEN
sion Mrs. Grant. In defence of his
position Mr.. Price replied TO the
assault in a very pointed manner and
sent his reply to the ter-0cean for
publication. That paper refusing to
publish it, the Milwaukee Sunday
Telegraph secured q copy, which
reads as follows:
A friend has just handed me a clip
ping from your paper-no date-in
which you say, in speaking of the bill
to pension Mrs. Grant at the rate of
200 per annum for life, and the
franking privilege:
This bill passed the Senate with.
out opposition, and in the House
encountered the opposition of only one
vote. This solitary disgrace belongs
to Wisconsin, and the name of the
man ia Prize - ssIt is
safe to add that the American Con-
gress will not be disgraced by this
one after the conclusion of his
present term" "To be
impaled as the only member of Con-
gress opposed to pensioning Mrs.
Grant ought to terminate his public
career" etc.
Either my vote tOGs disgraceful, or
your attack was stupid or devilish.
You would not pay your own money
to another unless it were to compen-
safe for some service which had been
rendered you, or as a charitable
contribution to some one who was
deserving and needy. As custodian of
another mans money the same rule
would govern you, if you were honest,
except that the right of one man, or
of a government, to pay money not
his or its own for charitable purposes
might be doubted.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1886-01-21

Are my reasons for that disgraceful
vote sufficient, or must | content
myself with standing convicted of

She is, no doubt, in all respects a
most excellent lady, and there is just
as little doubt that there are in every
school district in every northern state
many women who are suffering in
poverty, who were, and are, as loyal,
loving and lovable; who parted with
husbands to whom they were as much
attached, and made other sacrifices
for the common good as great as she.
| would withhold from the memory of
her distinguished husband, and his
family, no good thing that could be
honestly given, but l am sufficiently a
''disgraceful' representative to be-
lieve that under our republican form
of government "every man has the
right to be equal to every other man.
that ''honor and shame from no con-
ditiOn rise," and that under our
theory of government nothing is due
to position; for the President of to-
day may be the pathmaster of to-
morrow, and vice versa.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1886-01-21

Applying this rule, it would be ad-
mitted that Mrs. Grant never has
rendered any service to the govern
ment, does not propose to do so, and
is not an object of charity, as it is
generally understood that she has a
property and income of from half a
million to a million of dollars. AS the
widow of our greatest general, She
should, in my judgment, be cared for
by the government, and, if needy,
she should be relieved, side by side,
and equally, with every other widow
of every other soldier who served in
the Union army. AS the widow of an
ex-President of the United States,
who received S4O0,0OO for eight years
as President, and who, while acting as
such officer, vetoed a bill to equalize
the bounty of soldiers and signed a
bill which increased his own salary
from SIS, 900 to $4,000 per annum,
we owe her nothing.
