the Midland Pacific.
1t has taken practically an unoccupied
field. 1t strikes westward through South
Dakota and Northern Wyoming, and
enters Idaho at central point, not far
from where Idaho, Wyoming and Mon
tana have common junction, and from
which its lines can easily diverge to the
Puget Sound country, to Portland, Boise
or San Francisco. 1t will be built spec
Oily; it will be magniicentlv equipped;
1t will enlarge ten fold the population,
wealth and business facilities of the
country through which it passes, and
open mp magnificent fields for enter
prise and development.
The Midland will extend its northern
line through central Lemhi to Salmon
City, and thence westward. Its south
western line will defect through SOUTH
ern Lemhi and eastern Custer, coming
within forty miles of Challis, and afford
ing grass, grain and cattle outlet for
Big and Little Lost rivers. the Antelope
and other tributaries. 1t will help the
mines of Houston and Arco; will bear
south and west toward HALEY and
Bellevue, tap the Gold Belt and bring
thousand families TO Camas Prairie; it
will sweep few miles south Of Rocky
Bar. and skirt the pine forests of the
lower Boise River. Resting year at
Boise, it will speed its course to the
Golden Gate.
Welcome to the Midland! May strong
men stay with it, and guide it to q
national name and fame.

ENGLISH AND THE SCHOOLS.

In various sections of the country Ger
man church organizations are passing reso-
lutions declaring that they are friendly TO
the common school system, but they are
In mortal dread lest the German language
be forgotten, and hence they insist that
the right to teach it in parochial schools
is endangered by such laws as the Bennett
law in Wisconsin. At Michigan City,
Indiana, for instance, the German Luther
ans met and resolved that no German
should vote for any man for Office who will
not pledge himself against any law to re-
quire the English language to be taught
to pupils for whom State recognition is
asked.
All this is the veriest nonsense. There
is not State in the Union in which pro-
vision is not made for the teaching of
German to all who desire, in the common
schools. Does that look as if Americans
were opposed to such instruction? Why,
in Milwaukee, where this agitation began,
and which is the center of all the ferment,
there are fifty-two teachers of German in
the public schools, paid for out of the
public purse. All there is in this much
abused and misrepresented Bennett law is
the provision that in four elementary
studies the English tongue shall be used
in all schools to be recognized by law as
such, in order that attendance upon them
may be considered compliance with the
Compulsory Education Act Now, if the
Germans in the United States really think
that because children learn to read, write
and study American history and geogra-
ply in the English tongue they are
thereby incapacitated from learning Ger
man, or that because the State insists that
four studies shall be taught in the Ian
guage OF the land there is infringement
of constitutional rights, they should man.
age to have a case carried up TO the final
tribunal of the nation. If that body de-
cides in their favor, they viii find the true
Americans submitting without murmur
until the Constitution can be amended to
meet the public need. But of this let all
nationalities rest assured, English will be
taught in the public schools, and must be
taught in all schools, attendance upon
which is claimed as credit for twelve
weeks Schooling in each year. There is
