wA story with moral: The Tifdin
woolen mills has closed its doors. The pro.
prietor, s. A. Rockwell, staunch Republi.
can, says his failure is directly due to the
Republican tariff, which compelled him II
pay an exhorbitant price for grade of WOO
that was necessary in his line of manufac.
ture, and that is not and cannot be raised in
this country.

LAN9U AGE.

In our last issue we made few sugges-
tions in regard to teaching Language in
lower grades. The method has no other
foundation than the fact, that 1t carries
out the method which the child en-
ployed when learning to talk. 1t is based
upon the educational principle, that Ian
guage is learned by immitation which
comedies with the theory Of most philolo-
gists that all articulate language is the re
suit of the development OF the human race.
Time will not permit us now to discuss
fully how much Of what is commonly
taught as grammar. or science of langu lge
naturally falls under the head OF language
as an art Many OF the rules OF syntax
need no profound knowledge Of etymoi-
ogy to determine their application. One
Of the greatest defects in the use OF good
English Is not in the ignorance If gram
mar but in the failure to seize the idea
that there is q vital relation between a
thought and the words expressing that
thought. For example, in the sentence
when man does not attend TO their
(his) work, they (he). fails in business,
what more than mere intelligence does IL
need to determine whether the language
corresponds TO thought OF the author : 4
person knowing any thing of the English
language would know that the word "man'
means but one, that the propouns stand
for the word 'man" and therefore must
represent but one. and that the pronouns
used above represent more than one.
This Is but one OF the many EXAMPLES
in which not q profound knowledge of
grammar but simple thoughtfulness In
the use OF language will determine what
is correct and what incorrect.
Grammar as science Ia abstract, and
can never be understood by one whose
faculties OF abstraction are not only de-
veloped but well disciplined. Any at
tempt to skin the surface of the subject
results In farce. The end and ann OF
grammar as science can be attained
only ly going deep into the mine Of
thought.

PLANT DEEP.
Granger, after l5 Years Exper.
ience Says that Seed Should go Well
Down I'm the Earth.

Yankton Press General w. =. Dewey,
is raising crops on IL different pieces of
land this year. He has farmed more or
less every year SINCE coming TO Dakota,
and has been in position to experiment
as TO the best methods of agriculture
He has observed closely and has reached
conclusions which are worth consider
alton.
In conversation with a Press& Dakotan
reporter yesterday General Dewey talked
at some length on the crops Of this year,
and upon farming in general. II tell you
sir that seed planted deep insnres pro-
ductive yield. The soil of this country
is most peculiar. On the surface 1t Is
hard and firm easily penetrated by the
hot winds, or the suns rays, and it will
not retain moisture for any great length
of time. i But that black loose spongy
loan, which is found five or six inches
vast amount of water, and will stand
any amount of heat. II is because mois-
ture is retained in that strata that the
earth freezes so hard and so deep in ex-
treme cold weather. have paid particu-
lar attention to crops for a long time and
/ find that seed planted deep grows and
thrives while seed in the next field plant
ed shallow will dry up and wither away.
One Of my heids of oats this year, was
planted six or eight inches deep while
Just across the section line few feet
apart there was field planted shallow.
My field has been harvested. and l had 26
| bashels to the acre. When cut the stalks
were still green and fresh and the kernnels
are as large aud sound, as you ever saw.
The shallow field adjacent began to sue
cumb to the heat three weeks before
began cutting mine and before mine was
threshed that field had given up the
struggle and the yield from it will not
pay for the harvesting. l have been in
the country every day this summer and /
am certain that have solved the problem
of successful farming Plant deep and
there will b little danger from drouth.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

Iroqums Chief lit is an old saying that
figures don't lie and il there is any truth
in the SAYING, here is surely corker for
the Pierre Board of trade:
The federal census of 1880 shows that
the west half OF orr state, and that in
.cludes all the counties west of the Mis-
souri river, contained q population Of 49,
4s7. C. w. Matter, census supervisor
for South Dakota west of the river, has
furnished for publication the population
by counties of the state west of the rver
and the total figures are 36,O3G. That
secti N then in ten years has doubled in
population.
From the federal cnsus of 1880 have
carefully picked out the counties and the
footing up shows the population east OF
the river to have been $4,000. In round
numbers by the federal census of 1890,
the population Of the same section OF
country, to-wit All Of South Dakota
east OF the river is 800, 600. This growth
is certainly very hattering but that is not
what we aie trying to get at.
Please compare the ratio Of growth be-
tween the east and the west during last
decade West the figures increase from
l6, ,4S7 to 36, ,03G. about double; in the
east half from 80, 900 to 10000. At this
ratio ho long will it be before Pierre will
be the center of population OF this state
How many centuries will it take TO make
her rs convenient and as accessible to a
majority Of the people of this state as is
and will be Huron? II figures do not lic

THE OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS

THE OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS.
Thousands of schools will open Sept.
1st, and the great machinery OF education
will be set in motion. When we think Of
the large number of children and youth
who will then enter--some for for the first
time, others IN their course-upon stor-
ing aud disciplining the minds which in
the near future are to rule the social,
religious and business world, We can gain
a slight idea of the vastness of that factor
in our civilization which we call education
We can then gain glimpse OF the great
work that is being carried forward by the
teachers of this and other countries II is
by looking at the results in their totality
that we can see the wisdom OF investments
In education, and the utter foolishness
exhibited by those who, under the guise
OF an economic reform. make their first
attack upon the schools The history OF
our country shows what importance has
always been placed upon education by
those making new settlements. With the
family homes, has always been erected
the educational home--the school house,
This preceded the mill, the factory, the
ware house, the elevator, and the railroad.
As it ranked next to the home in its
erection, so in case of the dismember.
mept Of community, everything except
the home. should go before the school.
In a similar manner when, OH account
of financial distress, retrebchments are
necessary, the school should be the
last to suffer from such an expedient.
And it has been clearly demonstrated in
history that those who have been in
clined to make the first retrenchments IL
education have been men Who neithel
had enjoyed the privileges OF libera
