WISCONSIN has but one system for
the education of the children and
youth of the State; that is the pub
lie free school system. 1t is legiti-
mate part of the government. This
conceded, it follows that no legisla-
ton intended for the the advantage
of the public schools, need stop to
inquire how such legislation will af-
feet the interests of the paroChial
schools. So in the case of the Ben
nett law: the question with the franz
ers Of that law was not whether such
an enactment would be for the adj
vantage or disadvantage of the par
ochial schools; the chief and para
mount interest was the State school,
that being the peoples school, for
no other the people are taxed to
support. Any number of parochial
or private schools are entitled to the
protection of law; they cannot COM
plain if the public schools draw
from their support The State
schools must be entitled to the first
consideration, and if they seemingly,
in the minds of some complaining
people, trespass on the rights of par
ochia! schools, it is not because the
Bennett law, or any other law, has
any such meaning or intent.

The Sugar Duty.

The burden which the sugar duty
imposes on the people has been at diff
ferent times referred to. To make the
statements Of expense still more specific
and not not resting on estimates. the
law prescribing the duty on sugar is
given.
"How the sugar industry has been
protected is seen by looking over the
several tariff acts Of Congress, begin
ming in 1916. Under the act of that
year duty of 3 cents pound on raw,
and ~ cents on loaf sugar was imposed.
These rates remained till 1912, when
they we're changed to p and 6 cents.
Then came the tariff revision by the
Democratic free traders in 1916, and all
imported sugars were taxed 80 per cent
Other American industries have been
subjected to the sharpest foreign COM
petition. A few sugar growers in Lou
isiana are encouraged by "a high pro-
lection" Such is the continued polio
of the government. Under the existing
condition the sugar duty varies on differ
ent qualities and equals about 30 per ct.
The advocates of free trade are loud in
their demands for the abolition of tariffs
on the necessaries and comforts of life:
but for what general family necessity is
there so much demand as for sugar?
The exorbitant sugar tariff is retained,
it is said, to encourage home industry;
yet it is an industrywhich with all advan-
tages afforded it by the government, at
so heavy a burden on the common peo-
pie, has never yet been able to supply
an appreciable demand.

The Worlds Fair.

The tone of assurance in respect
to che Worlds Fair has much declin-
ed the last few weeks; it is not now
spoken of by candidate cities, as
sure to be chosen for the final loca-
ton for holding the fair. Chicago
which had expressed confidence for
months, of being the successful COM
petitor, speaks with less positiveness
of being the chosen city for holding
the contemplated gathering. There
is but little doubt that the sentiment
of the people of the great northwest
favors Chicago as the proper loca-
ton. This is very natural for the
reason, that city comes nearer to
their convenience. New York has
come next, if not equal in promin-
ence with Chicago, and has made
great exertion to secure the favor
able designation. The cities of St.
Louis and Washington, have made
no extra proposals. Washington is
doubtless, expecting Congress to do
something worthy of a great country
flushed with hope and expectation,
as an inducement. limitations have
been thrown out, that in conse-
quence of the difficulties in arriving
at choice location for the fair, SO
much time is being wasted, it will
necessitate postponement, if not
abandonment of the enterprise. 1t
may be true as charged, that rival
cities for the fair, which have labor
ed earnestly for it, and believed their
claims so we'll established, would
now prefer to see the projected fair
defeated, rather than be disappoint-
ed in their expectations. Whatever
may be the delays in fixing on the

Lutherans and the Bennett Law

The editor of the TELEGRAPH
COURIER will kindly allow the un-
designed to give a response to an
article published in the issue Of Jan
uary 29th, under the heading, "Criti-
cisms of the Bennett Law" This
article intends to show that the ar
guments of the Lutherans against
the Bennett law are Invalid. Some
of the reasons why Lutherans oppose
that law, were brought by the under
signed in this paper issued On the
23d of January, 1890. To these
reasons the article in question re-
fers. The worthy editor says there
is want of uniformity in the attacks
of the Lutheran press on the Ben
nett law, and that's why it is wrong
when the Lutheran calls it misrep-
resentation of the position of the
Lutherans to say that they insist on
using the public schools to teach
whatever language they think fit
The editor of the TELEGRAPH
COURIER does, however. no: show
forth that such a dissent exists
among them 1t is a postulate
which remains to be proven. The
undersigned has followed the writ
ings of all the leading Lutheran men
on the subject in controversy, but
want of uniformity in the attacks on
the Bennett law he has entirely failed
to find. They all say the public
schools are necessary institutions, we
are in the utmost need of them, and
in their character they must remain
as they are, but the Bennett law that
threatens to enCroach upon our per
sonal rights in regard to private
schools, we oppose and will oppose
until the threatening clauses are re-
moved. The proceedings of the
committees appointed by the Synods
of the Lutherans in this State, that
recently met in Milwaukee show
that the above statements are cor
rect. These proceedings can be
found in full in an edition of the
Milwaukee DAILY Journal, issued
Jan. 4th, 1890. As these commit
tees represent the whole Lutheran
church in the State, with, perhaps, a
very few exceptions, the sentiment
among the Lutherans in regard to
the Bennett law is uniform And
the writer of this article holds even
now that statement as in the arti

WASHINGTON Letter.

The President has been SO affected
by the awful calamity which resulted
in the death of the wife and daugh-
ter Of Secretary Tracy, that he has
not made any attempt to look after
public matters this week. The fun
eral Of Mrs. and Miss Tracy took
place Wednesday in the East room
of the White House, and the impress
siveness of the scene when Secretary
Tracy broke down and Mr.. Harrison
with his arms affectlonately around
him and the tears streaming down
his own cheeks, tried to comfort the
bereaved husband and father, will
never be forgotten by those who
witnessed it. Mr.. Harrison never
appeared in a better light than at
that moment Secretary Tracy, who
made narrow escape from death
himself, is for the present living at
the White House.
Senator Morrill's recent speech
has opened the eyes of everybody to
the immediate need of a number of
new Government buildings in this
city. Congressman were surprised
to learn that quarters are rented by
the Government in forty-six different
places in Washington and that $751;
900 is annually paid out for tents, to
say nothing of the crowded condition
of the White House, the Patent Of
flee, the Postof6ce department, and
the Government Printing office. The
last place is the worst of all. it has
been pronounced dangerous by a
board of expert builders; unhealthy
and badly overcrowded by physic-
ians, and the workers in it are in
constant fear from fire. The feeling
in Congress seems to be in favor of
erecting the necessary public build
ings to transact the public business
without having to rent from private
parties.

A Historical Building Gone.


The late great fire which consumed
Allen q Sons tannery, destroyed a
building which had historical reputa-
ton, the Water Cure. This building
during its hall century existence, Hwas
used for variety Of public purposes,
and was one of much prominence in the
earlier years Of the town. One large
section Of it was built by Hon William
Bullen in 1889 for the purpose of an
Academy. Judge Bullen, an early set
tier, was an earnest friend Of education,
and was resolved the prospective town
here should possess educational advan-
tages to draw population The first
preceptor Of the Academy was L. p.
Harvey, young man Of fine personal
presence, brilliant attachments, and who
after leaving here, In due time was
elected Governor of the State He was
often called the War Governor of Wis
consin, because Of his great activity in
the period Of the war of the rebellion.
The sad termination of his life is still
fresh in the memory Of many citizens:
He was accidentally drowned in the
Tennessee river while on a tour looking
after the wants of Wisconsin soldiers.
The Academy began to be used for re-
ligious purposes on Sundays in 1910.
One of the most unusual religious re-
vivals in this part of the State occurred
in the building under the united efforts
of the Methodists, Congregationalists
and Baptists in 1910. Safe temper
ance, State anti slavery and State edu
cational conventions were held in the
Academy, besides any number of coan-
ty conventions were also held at the
same place. After the death of Judge
Bullen the Academy was sold with 9TH
er parts of his estate; his father, Gen.
John Bullen, became the proprietor,
and he converted it into a hotel known
by the name of National Hotel He
added to the building four story front;
it was used for hotel purposes until the
railroad interfered with hotel patronage.
A record Of the chief events which &C.
Cured at the National Hotel during it's
existence would mike an interesting
chapter. On the death of Gen. Bullen
the property was sold by the heirs to
DR.. H. T. Seeley, who transformed the
establishment into Water Cure. AT
ter the retirement of DR.. Seeley, Edgar
Pennoyer became the proprietor, and
DIR. N. A. Pennoyer the practicing ply
sician. AS has before been stated in
this paper, arrangements were mad,
months ago to build the Water Cure in
a new location a mile and quarter
north Of the one burned. The estab-
lishment had been doing a satisfactory
business the past few years.

As was announced in these colmns
last week Evangelist Fife will be here
to conduct series of revival meetings
from the 3rd to the 9th of December.
He has just closed very successful
meeting in Mt Holly, and the Neus of
that place says this of him:
Mr.. Flies words were listened to and
drank in by those present as if they
fell from the lips Of one MORE than
man. His special mission seems to be:
s'to teach and preach to the poor, and
by Gods help to reclaim drunkards.
Yet it must not be understood that he
does not influence the more intelligent
classes of society,"" We have listened
to many eminent evangelists, among
them Jones and Pearson, yet we have
never known man who had more COM
plete control of an audience. He can
cause his hearers to laugh or weep at
will. The laughter produced by his
sallies are those Of pure wit and are
not caused by coarse iests. He has
been so baptised by Gods Spirit, that
his is now one Of the most potent in
fnences for good ever felt in the State.
He has most retentive memory and
ready wit, and energy and will that
could be subdued by nothing short Of
divine power. He has made himself
one of the most accurate Bible scholars
in this State, and is one Of the best
Judges of human nature to be found.
He trusts in the Word to overcome
the devil and bring sinners to repent
ance. and God has most abundantly
honored him and given him wonderful
power to move the hearts of men. He
has most sonorous voice, full of spir-
it, love and earnestness. evry tone
! evinces big heart, full of loye for God
and his fellow man; and, when he
speaks the attention Of all, within the
| sound of his voice, is at once rivited up
on him. We believe his great success

most part to his intense EARNEsTNEsS

/ Pleasant Call.

From the Knoxville, Tennessee,
Daily I,arnal. of November 18th, we
take the following personal mention of
a lady we'll known throughout North
Carolina-Mrs Joe Person, of Kittrell,
proprietor of the we'll known medicine
bearing her name:
Those Of te readers Of the Journal
who were so fortunate as to meet Mrs.
Joe Person at McArthur's Music
House yesterday afternoon and hear
her rendition of the melodies which
have so long made her famous through
out the South, enjoyed rare treat.
Mrs. Person was especially good in
her manipulation of the keys of the
celebrated sweet toned kurtzmanu
piano which she selected for her use.
She beats the life out of Old Bob Ridley
and sails down the Sewanee River at
the same time, not forgetting the Or
leans town as an encore. Mrs. Per
sons rendition of the old Southern
melodies has made for her a warm
place in the hearts of all who have heard
her music. She is just returning from
a trip to the Dallas, Texas, exposition
to her home in North Carolina.
