Endorse the Bennett Law.

A report strongly endorsing the
principles of the Bennett law was
adopted by the Wisconsin Method
list conference at Whitewater, Sept.
both. The report was made by the
committee on education, consisting
of G. H. Trever, r. J. Judd, H. p.
Haylett, DR.. Gallagher, of Lawrence
university, and Enoch Perry. II is
as follows:
There is no doubt that a conflict
of greatest importance and magni-
tude is now upon the citizens of the
state Of Wisconsin. 1t is larger and
reaches farther than the boundaries
of the state, and engages the atten-
ton of the entire nation. 1t is a
question Of domestic or foreign
domination. Shall there be one or
many nationalities on our soil ?
Shall Roman Catholicism and Lu-
theranism maintain foreign ideas,
customs and languages, to the ex-
clusion of what is dstlnctively
American? We conceive of moth
ing more dangerous to the traditions
and spirit and institutions of our
country.
While religious liberty must be
assured to all, and parents must be
responsible for the education Of
their children, nothing can be more
hurtful than The perpetuation of
foreign ideas, to the utter exclusion
of those which are fundamental TO
our national life.
This conference desires to record
it's hearty sympathy with the effort
to require every citizen of this state
to obtain an education in English,
in at least the elementary branches.
1t must be clear that in no other
way can the foreign population in
our midst secure a knowledge of our
free institutions, and come to honor
aud love the government of their
adoption.
We believe in the common school
system. 1t is the pride and hope of
the United States. We insist that
it shall be maintained in its integri-
ty, and that every child in the state
shall enjoy all its privileges, or
equal privileges in any other school
To which he may be sent.
We are, therefore, emphatically
in favor of the maintenance and
enforcement of the so-called Ben
nett law, or its equivalent in every
thiup essential tn IL

She Can Take Care Of Herself.

One of the amusing and perennial
summer topics in the newspapers is
1.-THE sweet girl graduate" And the
burden of the comment is summed up
in the question-what are we to do
with herP What folly? Better ask the
question what she will do with us. 1t
must be remembered that it is the man
who proposes and the girl who dis
poses. And the American girl gradu-
ate knows how to take care of herself.
She is as self-dependent a creature as
is to be found in the universe. We can
well worry about the boys-the boys
whom we train to all kinds of impractI--
cal things-but for the girls there need
be no anxiety. They can adapt them
selves to anything. One girl goes
from Vassar to be the mistress OF
cattle ranch where she must do every
thing, and yet where she Is at
once center of light and brightness.
Her classmate crosses the water to Dc
the lady of some massive castle, where
are traditions of centuries of noble
blood and breeding, and she acquit'
herself as one to the manner born. Hel
versatility knows no limits. She can
economic, if it is necessary. and ap-
pear like princess on tinery that she
has made over, or she can help her
husband scatter his riches with Oriental
prodigality. In every station OF me
the American girl can do her duty ana
can fill all positions with credit ana
grace. 1t is not the meas part TO
trouble themselves about the gIri
graduates. The years will expand
their capabilities. 1t is the flood OF
boy graduates coming upon worIa
where there is only room for those VINO
know how to hustle that demand
our attention. The girls can take care
of themselves, but what can we do LOT

offer the public the advantage of two through

WAsHINGroN, ID. g., sept. ~. 1870.
The Mckinley tariff bill has been
reported from the conference. OF
course it does not please all of the
republicans. That would be too
much to expect Of the work of mere
mortals; but it comes az near salts
fying them all AS any bill of the
kind could possibly do, and there Is
not the slightest doubt that it will
receive the support of every repub-
lcan in both House and Senate. No
delay is expected in the disposal of
the bill, though there are rumors of
intended democratic fllibusterlug in
the Senate in order to keep Con-
gress in session until it is too late
for the President to call an extra
session aud give the requisite notice
of thirty days. Owing to the failure
of the Senate to change the rules
governing that body the democrats
would not experience any great
difficulty i'll carrying out this pro
gramne should they be so disposed,
but my impression is that they will
not dare to SO trifle with the enor-
nous business interests involved in
the tariff bill. Business men are
anxious to see the measure finally
disposed of and the republicans are
Just as anxious to do so, and If the
democrats attempt to throw OBJ
staoles in the way they will do so at
their peril.
A more surprised and disguised
lot of men than the democrats of the
House, congregated at their head
quarters in a room over a bar-room
not far from the Capitol were, when
informed that there was a quorum
of republicans on the floor of the
House, it would have been hard to
find. They soon began to sneak into
their seats in the House, every man
of them showing that they felt
themselves beaten Notwithstanding
their cowardly campaign of skulk-
ing. The most of them got into the
House in time to hear the republican
cheers which greeted the announce
ment of the vote seating the two
republican contestants whose cases
they had SO bitterly fought by stay
ing out of their seats for two weeks.
So chagrined were they that an at
tempt was made to have demo-
cratic caucus, held Immediately
afterwards, agree To the withdrawal
of the democrats in a body for the
rest of the session, but Souuder
counsels prevailed aud they escaped
making such q foolish blunder. For
some maccountable reason the
democrats had got it into their
heads that The republicans could not
get a quorum of their own members

not have been able to have brought
their men together, Notwithstanding
the efforts of the republican leaders,
which have been unremitting.
The House has adopted resolu-
ton reported from the Judiciary
committee, expunging from the
Congressional Record the recent
speech of Representative Kennedy
criticising the Senate. Mr.. Kennedy
made a speech stating his belief
that the people had a right to be
heard 10 criticism of the Senate on
the floor of the House through their
Representatives, and that he stood
by the sentiments of his speech not
withstanding the resolution declared
it supplementary. Thus endeth
an unpleasant episode.

vention of the Pennsylvania Repub-

ton calling on the President for

Gen. Barrundia by the Guatemalran
authorities on vessel flying the

report of this affair made by the U.
S. Minister to the State department
has been printed in the New York
Herald, and it is stated that it was
stolen from the State department by
a representative of that paper.

bill to define aud regulate the jurls-
diction of the Courts of the United
States, with amendments. 1t creates
i'll each circuit court of appeals, to
consist of three judges, which is to
be court Of record with appellate

such other places AS may be deslg
mated by the said court. The first

1t provides that all appeals from

otherwise shall only be subject to
review IN the Supreme Court or in

lished by the bill. 1t also provides
for the appointment of an additional

The republican tariff bill is Just
passing congress, "loaded,' as we
are informed by the democratic

and robbery in the interests of the
tax-fed monopolists," and yet farm
produce is going higher every day

free trader from Texas, who is
stumping this state in the interest
of un-American ideas, opened the
campaign in Racine by telling the
people that democrats founded the
common schools, and now repeti-
ton of this assertion is favorite
expression of the democratic organs.
This is a falsehood. The common
school was inaugurated in this coun-
try before the democratic party was
dreamed of. Neither did the Repub-
lican party originate the public
schools, but recognizing in them a
blessing to this country and its lib
