The School Question in Politics

The republicans of Wisconsin de-
serve especial commentator for the
courage and good judgment dis
played at the state convention held
at Milwaukee on the Goth inst. The
denomination of Governor Hoard by
acclamation was a platform in itself.
His course has been so pronounced
and free from vacillation upon the
distinctive state issue of the period,
the Bennett law, that such an in
dorsement was an eloquent ex-
preston of public opinion. The
party of progress and intelligence
has undaunted courage in UNFOLDING
its principles and rewarding its
fidelity in the discharge of public
trust. The election last spring Of
"Bad Boy" Peck to the Mayoralty
of Milwaukee on an antiBennett
law issue would have frightened
some men, but had no effect upon
Governor Hoard. He kept his flag
hying all the same, and the party
approves his course and indorses his
position.
This Endorsement does not mean,
as the resolutions plainly show, the
indlscrimlnate maintenance OF the
Bennett bill in all It's details.
After recognizing the common
school as the chief factor in the edu-
cation of the people, the Wisconsin
resolutions recognize private and
parochal schools as valuable auxil-
aries and disclaim absolute y "any
purpose whatever" to quote the
exact language used, "to interfere in
any manner with such schools,
either as to their terms, government
or branches to be taught therein"
The words italicised cover the main
grievance of those who have been
the loudest in denouncing the Ben
nett act. There can be no mistaking
this language. The agitation of this
general subject has thrown light
upon this particular phase of it. a
good many people were under the
impression that Il parochlal school
education might leave the child in
absolute illiteracy, so far as concerns
the vernacular of this country, but
that was a Misrepresentation. Such
cases, if any, are too lntrequent to
be an appreciable factor in the
problem. The children in America,
whatever their nationality, seem to
be thoroughly imbued with the
American spirit. Loyalty to "the
little school house," as Governor
Hoard expressed it in his speech of
acceptance, involved no abridgment
of the right of parents and guard
ians to patronize private and paro-
chial schools, if they see fit.
Another grievance was that some
trustees refused to recognize schools
located outside of their own dis
tricts, or assured to dictate what
time of year the child should go to
school. Those points are clearly
and completely covered in the reso-
lutions. Herein the republican party
is pledged to detailed amendment.
The essential purpose of the act was
right, but, adds the platform, "we
assert that the parent or guardian
has the right to select the time Of
the year and place, whether public
or private and wherever located, in
which his children or ward shall
receive instruction, and wee charge
ourselves to modify the existing law
so that it will conform to the fore
going declarations. Inter Ocean.

throughout the world. This country
is great, wealthy and prosperous and
no niggardlyness should be shown
in honoring the memory of Grant.

That a reciprocity amendment of
some sort will be attached to the
tariff bill seems now certain. What
it's exact terms will be is not vet
apparent; but it will prevent the
opening of our markets, the finest
in the world, to those countries that
do not in return give US a market
for some of our surplus products
upon the same terms. The rapid
growth of the popularity of recip-
rocity with all classes. and con
ditions of people in every section
of the country has been phenomenal,
and Mr.. Blaine would be more than
human if he did not feel very proud
of having started the ball to rolling.

The democrats are INDUCING in
their usual amusement of winning
elections before I'll ey take place, and
they should be let alone and left to
enjoy themselves and tone their
appetites up sufficiently to stand the
dish of crow which they will have
to eat after the republicans elect the
majority of the next House of Rep
resentatives.

HR. i. II. BANCROFT, a young at
torney of Richland Center, electri-
fed the republican state convention
by the eIoquence of his speech pre-
senting the name of Hon. Norman
l.. James, for State Treasurer. The
convention was noted tor its many
oratorical gems, but in the opinion
of many who listened, including
Hon Nj. Griffin, who presided, the
effort of Mr.. Bancroft WAS entitled
to first place.

Mrs. Grant having signitied, thro'
her son, U. S. Grant, Jr., that she
had no objection to the removal of
the remains of her illustrlous hus-
band to Arlington cemetery, at
Washington, and the opinion of the
country, with the exception of a
few people in New York City, being
apparently unanimously in favor of
the removal (the adoption of Sena-
tor Plumb's resolution furnishes
good proof of this), it is more than
probable that the home of the great
soldier will ere long rest in the sol
of Arlington, already consecrated
by thousands of his comrades in
arms, and which will remain until
the end of time sacred spot to all
patriotic Americans. In providing
for this removal it becomes the duty
of Congress to provide for the cree,
ton Of 4 suitable memorial to the
memory of Americas greatest sol,
dier, something in keeping with the
reputation of General U. ). Grant

State Joeunal: 1t is going to take
"a good deal of time this fall TO keep
the Democratic organs straight IN
regard 10 the Republican platform.
They are doing heap of misrepre-
scnting just now about the platform
and everything connected with 1t.
The Milw aukee Jou3uak even goes
so far AZ To mlsrepresent what the
Chicago papers say about the plat
form and the Republican stand ON
the school issue, 1t quotes cores
poudence to these papers TO show
"what they say about Republican
straddle," when the facts are that
edilorially every Republican paper

papers, emphaticalIy endorse the
Republican platform and the posi-
ton of the party on the school law
issue.

In the platform adopted 10y the
republican state convention, and
printed elsewhere in this paper, the
school question is properly most
prominently and fully treated upon.
As was expected, the right and duty
of the state to secure to every child
the rudiments of an education III
the language of our constitution
and laws is boldly asserted. That
the republican party has any dis
position to interfere with parochial
schools, encroach upon parental
rights, or antagonize any rights OF
conscience of religious faith is as
clearl, denied. Whatever of incon-
grulty may be found IN existing
laws, the party is pledged to correct,
in accordance with these declara-
tons. Read the platform carefully,
and no unprecedented voter, who be
lieves with Governor Hoard in
standing by the little school house,
will fail to endorse the republican
position on this vital issue.

1t is fortunate for the country that
the very important duty of prepar-
ing bill for the Congressional APP
portionment under the eleventh cen
sus is in such good hands, and
Speaker Reed, is deserving of
thanks for having put at the head of
the select committee in charge of
the matter SO able and experienced
a legislator as Representative Dun,
nell, of Minnesota. The committee
has already begun its work; but ii
is hardly probable that it will report
bill at the present session of Con
gress.

England's offer to arbitrate the
Behring's Sea matter is truly anus
ing in view of the fact that Secretary
Blaine has, by his able presentation
of our claims, made it so plain "that
he who runs may read" that there is
nothing to arbitrate. John Bull has
already lost his case, if he ever had
one, and, of course, he would like
to have the matter referred to some
European potentate whom he might
bulldoze into deciding in FAVOR of
some of his ridiculous claims. No,
thank you, Johnny, Uncle Sam does
not care to arbltrate case already
settled in his favor.
