THE present Democratic fight against
Mr.. Crisp on the ground that he is not
sound on the tariff question is based on
false pretenses. Crisp is as good o free

that score. The election of either, or of
almost any other Democrat, for that

against American industries and Amer

PROF. T.. C.. MENDENHALL, of the
United States Coast Survey, has made
his official report in the matter of the
disputed boundary line between Indiana
and Ohio. AS the result of careful and
scientific observation it is found that
the line is about one mile too far east at
its southern extremity, about three
fourths of u mile too far east in the mid
die, and somewhat less than that at the
northern extremity. The report says
sit is q zig-zag line, now DETECTING
toward the east and again to the west.
the probability being that on the whole
it is too far to the east.n In other words,
the line is not a true meridian, but it
varies so little that the entire amount of
territory embraced in the error would
probably not be more that one hundred
square miles. This will never cause
any trouble between Ohio and Indiana,
and it is not likely that the agitation of
the subject will be continued beyond the
point of having the present line def
nitely located and marked by suitable
monuments. This should be done to
avoid future agitation and perhaps liti-

that the best of prompt remedies in such

The NormaI School

The sixteenth commencement exer-
cises of the Normal School. as noticed
in the JOURNAL. of last week, reminds
me of its great worth to this commu-
nifty, and of its cost, too; for it was
not obtained by this little hamlet, then
of only five or six hundred, with two
or three rivals of as many thousands
to contend with, without stalwart
and unyielding effort. have some
times thought that our weakness in
purse and population turned to our
advantage in throwing places of more
consequence off of their vigilance and
tactics.
1t required a cash bonus of twenty
five thousand dollars, and a ten-acre
site; mere pittance for a large place,
but 10 us, so few, and penniless, at
first mention, it seemed an insur-
mountable obstacle. We had no re-
sources, but courage. brave deter
mination.
For two or three years after the
possibility of fourth Normal school
for the eighth congressional district
was whispered by the knowing few i,
our folks in the village, and neighbor-
hood roundabout, went for it, step by
step, as the conditions of law, and
wishes of the Board of Regents were
ascertained; often in darkness and
doubt, but hopeful, heroicaliy pushing
and painfully waiting, until the final
action Of The board established the
school here. The twenty-five thousand
dollars donated was by Pierce county
and the four adjacent towns of River
Falls, Clifton, Troy and Kinnickinnic.
The ten acres of land cost 81, 900.
This was paid by voluntary contribu-
tions, ranging from two to fifty dol
lars. l remember with what eager
willingness citizens subscribed to this
fund, and paid, too. Our people did a
grand work to get this school, emin-
emily prosperous and useful to us,
and widening and increasing in use
fulness ever, as the years roll on.
Many of the prominent workers to
procure this school have passed to the
other side. God bless them; the good
they did lives after them TO bless
other generations. A. Ii. Weld, Abner

If our citizens take hold of this enter
prise with their usual vigor the pros
pect of success is good. The burden
on each will be light if all try to dc
something. A tax for the requisite
amount would be imperceptible, but
the levy of a tax is considered un.
authorized by our statutes. The whole
community will receive the benefit and
it is unjust and unfair to look to few
to raise this fund.
