PINE RIDGE, S. D., Jan. 9.-Yesterday
afternoon all the commands in the field
were ordered to march from fiveto six
miles nearer the hostiles. Late last night
the order was put into effect and Of
course attracted the attention Of the In
dians. At intervals Of two or three days
the Gordon will be drawn more tightly
around the hostiles until they agree to
come in peacsably or be whipped into
sumission. The disposition they dis
play to accept the oyertures OF General
Miles is susceptible Of but one interpre-
tstion and that is they propose to surren.
der and retain their arms or die in their
defense. This is backed up by the fact
that the majority OF those who have
come in from the hostiles are squaws
and children who it is desired to get out
OF the way. Some bucks come in occa-
sionaIly domesticate with the alleged
friendlies and at the came time retain
the feeling Of hostility which impelled
them to flee the agency. The coming in
OF Red Cloud is variously interpreted.

There was no head to the hostiles. The

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. ,G;-At q
meetingof the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee, Congressman
James Kerr, Chairman Of the Demo.
cratic State Committee OF Pennsylvania,
proposed plan for the reorganization
Of the campaign committee, which met
with general favor. II contemplates the
selection by the Democratic State Cen.
tral Committee Of every State in the
Union of one person well known for
his Democracy, capability, energy and
his general knowledge of the details OF
the practical organization in his own
State. The man selected need not nec-
essarily be a Member OF Congress. In
fact, a Member Of Congress is to be rather
the exception. The idea is to secure a
congressional committee that will be in
every sense q representative organiza-
ton and yet not individually interested
in their own reelection.
In addition TO the fall campaign COM
mittee, Mr.. Kerr suggested that an ex.
eCutiye committee OF Ave be appointed
for the purpose Of establishing bureau.
which will be a permanent feature Of
the committee.

DUBLIN, Jan. 9.-The Fresman'S Jour.
nal to-day publishes q letter written by
Miss Anna Parnell, sister Of Charles
Stewart Psrnell, and classes Miss Anna
Parnell as being "the most remarkable
woman Of her time."
In this letter Miss Anna Parnell says
that she has no opinion as to which side
is right, and suggests that "if the Home
Rule Association is revived on nation-
al, independent basis it would protect
and prevent the interests OF the country
from suffering through the conflict.
"The plea Of excess OF virtue Ia most
alarming because the Irish members
have 80 many virtues which have proved
stumbling blocks TO their possessors and
led them into the present qunndary.
In this, they did not know what Mr..
Parnell would do? How can they know
what to do, or, what Mr.. Gladstone, old
and crafty, is going TO do?"

or the Wheeling ToRchHrS' Association
Yesterday Afternoon.
The second general meeting Of the
Wheeling Teachers Association for the
year '9O-'9l was held in Clay School yes.
terdsy afternoon with full attendance
of teachers. The exercises Of the day
were opened by the singing Of "Amer-
icap by q we'll selected chorus of gram
mar.room pupils from Clay School.
After prayer by Rev. Mr.. Riheldaffer,
two more songs were rendered by this
chorus in good style.
The first paper was one on the subject
Of "ManuaI Training in Schools" by
Miss Stout, Of Clay School. She in
terse Language described the object Of
such instruction, the kind OF tools used
and the results derived, which in her
view are important and enduring.
Prof. Crago's paper on "The Problem
of Popular Education" came next. Too
many teachers, he said, teach merely 10
hear reCitations. Their pupils on ex-
animation day can answer all the ques-
tions asked, aud yet have bat little
knowledge Of life and its responsibilities.
The state has a right TO demand that
every parent shall give his children q
fair education. One pupil in six goes
further than the common school course,
and but few teachers form part OF that
number. Teachers are appointed too
often through favoritism and not on
account Of thorough qualifications. Com
pulsory school laws should be adopted |
by the State II other means fail to have
the children attend.
Boys and girls are hurried through
the school course and get but smatter-
ing Of the studies pursued. More time
should be given to these studies. A
high school should form part of Wheel
ins's educational institutions. A girls
normal school should form part of this
for the preparation of teachers. A
manual training school should also form
a part OF the high school course.
Rev. Mr.. Riheldatier delivered a sholt
but pleasant address to the teachers. in
stead OF Mrs. Ryan, OF Washington
school, who furnished most excellent
substitute. The reverend gentleman
dealt on the importance and necessity OF
moral training in the public schools.
The teacher must grasp the opportunity
at the proper moment Of improving the
young mind. The tree in the forest
which seems the ugliest and most
gnRried is often the most valuable, and
under skillful hands ia shaped into OBJ.
jects beautiful to look upon; the most
material in the school room
is that which under proper training be.
comes the strong character, the leading
mind Of the future.
All these addresses were most inter.
esting, and elected tho closest attention.
The choruses by pupils OF Clay Gram
mar school, trained by Miss Robinson,
were quite feature Of the meeting.

Legislature this morning, In referring
to the new election law the document
says that the Low election law, in de-
priving the elector OF the right 10 vote
for any man for any office whether he
has been nominated or not, Iobs him OF
his constitutional right. The Chief
Executive suggests that the law be so
amended as to make the ballot "free."
he also deplores the cost Of elections
and recommends that the assessment Of
candidates for Office by committees be
made criminal. The passage Of fee
aud salary bill is strongly advocated.
The message concludes with the sugges-
tion that ia view OF the financial c0ndi-
ton OF the Legislature will be compelled
to raise the taxes to at least twenty-five
cents to one hundred dollars, or to
authorize the State officers to borrow
more money for future expenses.
