Normal Sch col Dedication.

The addition to the State Normal
school at Platteville was formally dedi-
Gated last Thursday. Among those
present from abroad were Regents
Goldsmith of Milwaukee. Ainswo.th of
River Falls. Governor Geo. Peck and
Pros. f. A. Birge from The State Uni
versity, and Mr.. and Mrs. d. a. Charl-
ton from Brodhead. Prof d. Nc
Gregor was president of the day and
speeches were made by Regents Gard
ner and Goldsmith, by j. w. Murphy.
Gov. Peck and Dr. Birge and an excel
lent paper read by Mrs. DR.. Buck. The
exercises were interspersed by music
under the management of Prof c. f.
Showalter The exercises were we'll
attended, the large hall being well
filed. the Senior class gave very
pleasant reception in the City Hall in
the evening.
The day was an entertaining one
throughout and was certainly improved
and enjoyed by all present.
The new hall is well lighted, well
heated, well ventilated, well seated,
and gives first class accommodation to
$40 students. Since the Pattevile
Normal School was established it has
made wonderful growth in size and
conveniences, but these are small when
compared with the great influence it
has exercised in all educational matters.
There is not district or high school in
this section of the state which has not
been made the better through this
school. There is hardly family that
has not at some time and in some way
been made the better and happier
through its magic influence, and the
state itself through the influence of this
and its Other Normal Schools more than
from any other source has acquired a
reputation in educational work second
to no other state in the nation. The
University itself owes much 10 the
Normal Schools, for they have given an
educational impetus to hundreds that
can only be satisfied by completing
course Of study in the highest educa-
tional institution in the state While
the Normal Schools give a good prae-
teal and professional education, they
serve TO stimulate students to go on and
higher in preparing themselves for their
life work The introduction OF the
Normal School idea into Wisconsin
gave new life to all educational work,
and today there is more system and
unity in school work here than any
where else in the Union.

Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent

washington, Dec. -, lo9z.
If story that has just leaked out be
true Congress took its holiday Just in
time to smother an awful row, amount
ing almost to aTevolt. in the democratic
camp. 1t seems that Don Dickinson
was sent here by MIR. Cleveland to
inform the democratic leaders in the
House that there was no occasion for
them to worry about the tariff as it was
his intention to have tariff bill all
ready to be passed presented to the
House of the Fifty-third Congress as
soon as it comes together. There was
some very plain talk among the demo-
Gratis in both House and Senate when
this message was delivered 10 them,
not the least significant of which was
the intimation that ii is in the power OF
the present Congress to compel the
calling of an early spring session OF the
next Congress. Don Dickinson very
wisely waited until Just before the recess
before he delivered his momentous mes
sage. The good feeling engendered by
the holidays may result in cooling the
blood of the indignant democrats suilic-
iently to prevent an open outbreab
when Congress comes together on the
1, OF January, but the message will not
be forgotten, and if Mr.. Cleveland per-
sists in his present intention as to
furnishing Congress with a ready made
tariff bill open war will probably be
declared against him by his party in
Congress. A short time ago when
Congressman Breckenridge, of Kentuc.
ky, stated his opinion that the new tar
i'll bill ought to be prepared by Mr..
Cleveland, it was thought that he was
only making use of bit of flattery to
get deeper into Mr.. Cleyeland's good
graces but now it is believed that the
opinion was made public at Mr.. Cleve-
lands request as "feeler'' of public
sentiment.
There is mistaken idea prevalent as

The international Monetary Confer
ence is over and has sgnally failed to
accomplish any thing of any moment.
The United States has for many years
done what it could to regulate the silver
market for the whole world, and every
time that a slight increase in price has
come the amount Of silver produced IN
this and other countries, and the price
of silver has again gone down. Under
the Bland Bill passed fourteen years
ago, compelling the coinage of ten mil
lion dollars every month, the price of
silver was S108 per ounce. The pro-
duction the year the bill was passed
was about thirty-fye million ounces of
silver, but 1t is reckoned that sixty
million ounces were produced in 1891.
This great production exceeded the
demand to such degree that it is now
worth but about II cents per ounce and
the country is at present unable to pro-
vide better silver market. Though
this state Of things may not immedi-
ately produce any serious effect upon
the mining interest in the west it can
not fail to do so before a great while;
indeed 1t would have done so already.
but more than 100000 ounces have
been exported and every one is aware
that immense quantities are daily used
in ornaments and silver ware of various
kinds. The United States has for many
years been trying to encourage silver
production, and so far has succeeded
creditably in spite of the fact that in
creased production has gone steadily
on; but now the country seems to haze
neared a hating point and none of the
other nations seem at all willing to step
in and help regulate the demand and
price Of the precious metal. The pres
ent administration has worked earnestly
a the problem, and had il been con-
tiuued in power might have come to
satisfactory results. but the transfer of
the government into the hands u the
democratic party, which seems TO be
uncertain in its silver policy, but so far
as congress and a majority of the PEG
Pile are concerned, in favor of free com
age, leads foreign nations to think that
the question will be settled for time at
least by the next administration. For
eign countries as usual are perfectly
willing that the United States shall
assume all responsibilities as well as the
cost and labor of any experiment, but
they never neglect to keep sharp look
out for every advantage that can be
taken. The only way that foreign
powers can be compelled to assume
responsibility in the matter, is for this
country to stop all purchases of silver
by an immediate act of congress. This
will bring things to crisis in short
order, and the next monetary confer
ance would hardly be farce as this
last one has been. When one reviews
the action of that highly dignited and
honorable body he is forcibly reminded
of the Mother Goose coupet

one of the FIRST things that the next

one Of the three men, Bragg. Knight or
