elected permanent chairman. He made an
address at some length. Theodore Often,
of Milwaukee, was elected secretary, after
which an hours recess was taken.
After the recess resolutions were adopted
in which the principles set forth in the plat
form adopted by the national convention of
the republican party on the subject of pro-
lection were reaffirmed; the platform which
Abraham Lincoln approved and on which he
was elected was indorsed; such revision of
the tariff was demanded as will avoid an
accumulation of surplus in the treasury
after meeting the current expenses of gov
ernment and paying the national debt
as rapidly as IL natures; President
Cleveland's last annual message was de-
nounced as an attack upon Americas indus
tries, as was also the Mills tariff bill; the
methods by which, in several states in the
union, large bodies OF voters are practically
disfranchised in order to promote the cleo
tion of democratic presidents, congressman
and other officials is denounced. The resolu-
tion goes on to say that every friend of free
institutions should sternly oppose a party
which tolerates or consents to prohibit by
these crimes that outrage on the rights of
the citizens Of the whole republic. The re-
publicans of Wisconsin desire the prosperity
of all sections of the country and friendly re-
lations with all. They further condemn as
tending to bring salutary and needed re-
form into disrepute and contempt the sweep
ing changes of subordinate officials of the
government made by the present national
administration to reward and encourage par
tisan services, in fragrant disregard of the
pledges which the president gave when a
candidate for election and of the professions
which, from time to time, he has since sub
mitted TO the credulity Of the public.
A resolution was also adopted favorlng
Governor Rusk as candidate for chief
magistrate of the nation.

Shade trees for School Districts.


There is nothing that adds TO the
comfort of pupils and home-like APP
pearance of the school-yard than a
number of well-kept shade trees.
OF the one hundred and three districts
visited find that but eleven are well
supplied with trees The yards of the
remaining ninty two are bleak and bare
and certainly uninviting. 1t is COM
mon occurrence on hot summer day
TO see the little ones sweltering i'll the
sun or in what little shade the yard
fence affords while they eat their lunch.
This is not right. They need and des-
serve better accommodation.
Would it not be much more pleasant
for them. and would it not add much
to their comfort. enjoyment and pro-
gress if they had the advantage of
beautiful shade trees under which they
might spend the sultry noon hours III
eating lunch or pursuing their studies
There is no necessity for this neglect.
School officers, patrons, teachers and
pupils should Immediately interest
themselves in this matter and see that
the school yard is no longer mere
pen.
Trees should be planted i'll around
the yard, and they should be staked OF
other precautions taken to preserve
them from injury; and straw or coarse
barn-yard litter placed around them tc
keep the roots moist during the hot
months. If there is danger of theil
being destroyed in the yard, place
them over the fence in the adjoining
field.
1t is to be hoped that an interest viii
be taken in this matter, and that thu
school yard will no longer be the mos
desolate and sadly neglected spot IL
