MORE FAGILITIES NEEDED.

The reports of the three Normal
schools at Winona, Mankato and st.
Cloud for the past year to Supt. Kiehle
show the total enrolment to have been
at Winona SOC, at Mankato 500, and at
st. Cloud 800. The number of graduates
last spring was: Winona, So; Mankato,
80; st. Cloud, 26. Thus it will be seen
that the enrolment of the Mankato
school is equal to that of Winona, al
though the latter has a much larger
building and better accommodations. If
the Mankato school had the appropria-
ton for an increase in size of the build
ing, for which it has in vain been seek
ing for several years past, it would be
able to greatly extend Its sphere of use
fitness. From its location this school
should naturally take the lead in size
and attendance, for it is the center of q
rich and extensive portion of the State.
The Winona school can only draw from
one side as its certificates are useless in
Wisconsin. If the Mankato building
were doubled in size il would soon at
tract an attendance of 1000, and the
number of its graduates would far ex-
coed those of Winona. Not only Man
kato and Blue Eahth county, but the
whole south portiyh Of the State is in
terested in this matter. There has been
appropriated for the Winona Normal
the sum of $l33 ,931 while the total that
the Mankato school has received is only
$84, 500. With the same attendance and
the superior location, has the latter
school been treated fairly? The bene-
fits of these schools are too well-known
TO need mention at this stage of the
progress of educational forces, and in
order that the whole southern and south
western portion of the of the State may
reap its full share of these advantages
the representatives from this portion
should unite in securing such favorable
legislation as may be asked next month.
The other portions of the State will see
the Justice of these demands, and can
not well deny them. Each of the other
schools has received large appropriations
from the last two legislatures, and this
school has had to wait its turn, which
has now come in all right and fairness.
1t might be stated that Of the $4,000
which the Mankato school has received,
SIC, 600 was for new roof to replace one
that was blown off nine years ago, thus
leaving only 1850 for new improve
ments. The st. Cloud school has re-
ceived $95, $50, although it has q much
smaller attendance than the Manxato
school.

LAST winter the Democrats who were
at all favorably disposed toward the ad.
mission of Dakota, demanded that Mon.
tana should come in also as an Offset
The complexion of the election returns
plainly showed why the Democrats
smiled 30 beningly on Montana. Atthe
election for delegate to congress in 1886
the Democratic vote was IL 800 and the
Republican IA, 272, Democratic major.
ity of 3,7lS in total vote of g, 1852. On
this showing the Democrats who were
opposed to the admission of Dakota
were not opposed to the admission OIL
Montana. But there has recently been
a change in the talk of Democratic edi.
tors about the desirability of Montans
as a State. There is of course some rea.
son for this about movement, and We find
it also in the election returns, but of a
later date than those above given. The
official returns of the November election
of this year show that Carter, the Re-
publican candidate for delegate received
q, 1856 votes to IL $3.50 for Clarke, Demo.
crat, and I4S for the Prohibition candi-
date. There was an increase of 8,2l4 in
the Republican vote, and falling off in
the Democratic vote of $50. The vote in
the Territory was larger than that cast
in Delaware, Rhode Island or Nevada.
We shall hereafter hear very little about
the demands which Montana has for
Statehood-by Democratic papers.

A NEW BRANCH OF IBUTTER
PACKING.

Our butter and egg shippers have dur
ing the past two years developed q
branch OF their business that is rapidly
assuming large proportions, and whose
beneficial effects to the farmers are more
potent and far reaching even than the
system of creamerles that has sprung up
in this and adjoining counties. This
new branch of the business is the syste-
matte gathering up of partly made but
ter, taking it before it is sailed and ship
ping it to the central houses in this city,
where it is worked up and perfected and
then re-shipped to many and often dis
taht portions of the United States. One
dealer has no less than one hundred
teams constantly employed in gathering
up this unsalted butter from among
the farmers for a radius of hundred
miles of the city and carrying to the sta
lions where it is shipped to Mankato.
No teams are sent out from Mankato, or
is any butter picked up in the neighbor-
hood of the city, as the farmers doubt
less.find as good a market for it at the city
stores. When the butter arrives at the
working and packing establishments in
this city 1t Is graded according to quality.
The best grades are as fine as any butter
that can be found, and a considerable
home demand for it has sprung up. But
the most profitable market is found in
New York and other Eastern States,
where good prices can always be secured.
The old practice of securing butter in
rolls and simply packing it is fast becom-
ing an antiquated mode. The new meth
cd, with the thorough system of gather
ing at the farmers doors, is encouraging
more diversified farming by making cat
tie raising more profitable. Hog raising
profitably follows upon the heels of cat
tie raising, and thus the far mer is assur-
ed of regular returns no matter what the
condition of the season and Independent
of the ravages of chlnch bugs.

THE solicitude of Mr.. Cox and other
Democrats over the admission of Dako-
ia is amusing. These Bourbons must
have a poor opinion of the people of the
Territory if they suppose their DELAYED
efforts will in any degree do away with
the general disgust caused by their for
mer opposition. The talk that the Da-
kota people will overlook all of Democ-
racy's past sins in this matter because it
proposes to be good when forced to it
by the Republicans, is not giving the
citizens of the big Territory credit for
much intelligence. The latter know
that it is the Republicans they will have
to thank for admission, whether it comes
from the present session of congress or
the next.

THE POOR FARM.

Blue Earth county has proved the
statement that "the poor are ALWAYS
with us" and to care for such as cannot
care for themselves has provided fine
large brick house, and a farm of 100
acres of the richest land to be found, to
provide for them. This establishment
is located about four and half miles
from Mankato, and is capable of holding
twenty-four inmates. But this number
has never been reached, and at present
but half dozen are supported there.
In this building are gathered the aged,
the imbecile and the weak, upon whom
fortune has ceased to smile. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful whether a pleasanter
place that is devoted to similar pur-
pose can be found In the State. The
poor house itself is comparatively new,
having succeeded the primitive log
structure some seven years ago, and is
perched upon lovely knoll, affording a
fine view, and in summer a cons tant
breeze. The farm is a rolling prairie,
and the soil is very productive. When
first purchased the place cost $1,000.
About forty acres are under cultivation,
while the remainder is divided between
meadow and forest. The live stock de-
partment includes thirteen head of cat
tie, score or more of pigs, several
horses and flock of hens. All show
evidences of the best of care. In fact,
everything about the place shows good
management. The present overseer is
Mr.. Marston, who, together with his es-
Unable wife, keeps the building and sur
roundings in "apple pie order" The
house throughout is a model of neatness,
and it is evident that the premises have
been placed in good, competent hands.
The inmates find no fault and cannot,
for they are required to do but little,
and are served with the same kind and
variety of vituals that are placed upon
Mr.. Marston's table-both plentiful
and wholesome. The sleeping rooms of
the inmates are neat, and the inmates
themselves are forced to keep them
selves tidy. The farm is economically
managed. and yields as much as any 9TH
er farm Of its size. Some improvements
are projected for next year that will in
crease the facilities of the institution.
The grand jury visited the farm Satur-
day, and found nothing but what pleased
them.

SENATOR HoAR Monday directed his
''sarkasm" at the administration which
is raising such q fuss over the Haytiar
matter. He said:
1t was we'll enough for the great Am,
erican republic also, when Mexico tool
and imprisoned some American tramp
to threaten war and even 90 to the very
ragged edge of it. But would 1t not be
more consistent with the dignity and
power of this great republic to protect
the rights of her citizens against her
equals country like England
or country like Germany? One yesse
seized in Haytil A hundred vessel:
seized by Canada-the one backed by
Great Britain, the other backed by nc
one. In his opinion the American peo
pie demanded that If Its power was tc
be shown, 1t should be shown against its
equals, not against its interiors.

"And that is still the way in which a
highly moral politician waits for hon
Ors.n AS United States circuit judge,
Gresham has conferred dignity upon
his office by holding alOOf from all
participation in the questions of this
canvass. Had he done otherwise, he
would have been bounded from Tam
many hall to Texas as man who had
prostituted his judgeship to political
purposes and the indrumena of the
News would have been the first to
wiggle its Shiny accusation. Should
it be necessary for Mr.. Gresham's
tariff views to be demanded before the
convention at Chicago, there need be
no fears of the same being stated in
that frank, manly, open, honest and
honorable manner which, while ex-
ceedingly pulling to the double deal
ing of democratic platform makers,
will be eminently satisfactory to the
protectionists who represent the
American idea of labor and industry
in Chicago.
