EDITOR FREEMAN If you please sir,
few words with your readers, teachers and
prospective teachers especially, concerning
comments from Indiana in reply to my
communication OF two weeks ago.
The gentleman has granted as true all l
create the impression that teachers can OBJ
tain more benefit bE spending tern at
Loretto than one at the Indiana Normal,
and then says There are advantages at the
Indiana Normal that cannot be furnished
at a school taught by one OF two teachers"
How do the two statements accord He is
not alone In his opinion. he says. The
members Of the faculty at Indiana, and
teachers of Cambria county, that have been
there one term. will bear him out. / dis
pute it. II my position Is wrong. want to
know IL To prove what he says let him
produce q line from some one of each OF the
parties referred 70. The gentieman's prop
osition Is assailed. II hs Is Iu the right,
they will not hesitate TO defend him. Bring
them Oh.
The gentleman should not attempt to OBJ
scure the real point in controversy by CLOAK
ing about il such Irrelevant matters as the
cheapDess Of the school at Loretto. and that
L am actuated 5y selfish motives. When /
thought OF teaching at Loretto, / did not
know that he was going to teach there. No
one at LorettO knew that desired to teach
there. When learned OF Mr.. Smiths in
tentions l at once dismissed the matter of
the LoreGto school from my mind, until it
was brought to my notice that attempts
we're being made to dissuads persons from
going to Indiana that they might go to Lor-
etto. at the close OF the county institute
our superintendent advised all who could to
spend the coming summer at Indiana. /
would asked none who had decided TO go
there to attend my school, If 1 knewit. It
makes no difference TO me who teaches at
Loretto- hope the school there will be
success within the bounds belonging 10 it.
State committee once determined that
am worthy OF the paper3 / hold. and
another committee similarly constituted has
more recently made some important addi-
tons 20 1t, but am not yet presumptious
enough to attempt to parallel the Indiana
Normal
and many other teachers, anxiousIy
await an acknowledgements of the gentle
mans proposition from the parties who. he
SAYS, will uphold what he claims for country
normals. IHos j. ITELL.

OKLAHOMA POST-OFFICES.
Representative Peters Takes Time by
the FOrelOck.

While the boomers are still stamping their
feet ON the borders of Oklahoma Representa-
tive Peters, of Kansas has given an exhibition
of enterprise by getting two of his constituents
appointed postmasters for the new territory. As
yet there no inhabitants, and therefore
no towns and no post-offices in the territory.
The towns will spring up very soon after the
boomers are permitted to enter, and the post
offices will be needed at once. Mr.. Peters,
with his native foresight, set about to provide
for this. Two land offices had been established.
Mr.. Peters went to the President and
the Postmaster General and pointed out
the necessity of having post-office
established with each of the land offices. Upon
his presentation of the case the two offices
were at once established. One of his constitu-
ents was appointed to one of them, and it was
fixed all right with the President that Mr..
Peters man should have the other. Being
fourth-class post-offices the appointments had
to come through Mr.. GARRISON, and when it
came to making the second one he hesitated
and held the matter up.
Mr.. Peters saw him several times about the
matter and still the appointment did not come.
Finally, Mr.. Clarkson SAID that the President
was going to send special agent out there to
see if there not some resident who
was a proper person for the appointment;
that he did not like the idea of taking men
from the outside.
But" retorted the Congressman, 'there are
no residents, or, if there are, they are there III
violation of the law"
That settled it, and the appointment was
given him by right of discovery.
In ten days after the place is opened to the
settlers" says Mr.. Peters. these two post
offices will be presidential Offices"

MIR. O'BRIEN'S APPEAL.
The Decision Regarded Severe Blow to
the Governments Irish Policy.

LONDON, April 13.-The decision in the case
of the appeal of Mr.. VIM. OBrien is regarded
by both nationalists and liberals. as well as by
the governments Irish policy Mr.
y Brien sentenced to four
months Imprisonment at Carrick-on-Suir, and
to SIX months at Tralee, the sentences to run
connectedly. On March 26 Mr.. O'Brien was
arraigned before Judge Curran. at Killarney,
for the hearing of his appeal from his Tralee
sentence of six months The case had not pro-
ceeded far when Judge Curran suddenly inter-
posed to suggest settlement of the dispute
between the kenmare tenants and their land
lord, out of which
THE PROSECUTION ORIGINALLY AROSE
The kenmare estate was, during the difficulty,
and Is to this day scene of desolation. As a
patriotic Irishman. Judge Curran could not
bear to look idly upon the devastation wrought
by misunderstanding and useless chickering's.
and asked whether it was not possible to refer
the differences to arbitration. Mr.. Healy at
once said that the tenants had already offered
to submit the matter to the arbitration of two
English members of parliament, one to be
chosen by the landlord and the other by the
tenants, to act with Mr.. j. G. Mccarthy, the
land commissioner, who originally fixed the
rates on the estate, umpire. MIR. Healy Of
fered Judge Curran himself as umpire and the
agent of the estate asked to be allowed to refer
the matter to the trustees. and Judge Curran
adjourned the case to enable him to do so.
THE ARBITRATION WAS AGREED UPON,
and Mr.. O'Brien's Tralee sentence of six months
was revoked. This suggestion of compromise
was Judge Curran's own idea, and did not come
from Mr.. O'Brien, who, however, was very will
ing to further any plan which held out pros
pect of fair settlement.
The whole story is a striking comment on the
claims of Mr.. Balfour to have broken down the
plan of campaign and all other plans of self
protection devised by the tenants. The result
of his plans is derelct farmers and
widespread desolation. 1t is also COM
ment on the precious land act of 1887, which
ought to have interposed some efficient and
impartial arbitrating authority between land
lord and tenant, but which has wholly failed to
do so. A capable and public-spirited Irish
judge sees no choice but to interfere and sug-
gest the arbitration which ought to have been
provided by parliament in some form. 1t has
not passed unnoticed that the spokesman of the
tenants at once accepted the suggestion, while
the agent hesltated
