Asking too Much,

Many Of the leading papers of the
State among which is the St. Paul
Globe, are using some very convincing
arguments against the legislature ap-
propriating the large sums demanded
by our State normal schools. The
claim of these journals is that the nor
NAL schools have failed to accomplish
their object, that is to furnish trained
teachers for our public schools. The
Pilot is in favor of trained teachers and
does not object to the existence OF nor
NAL schools, providing that they con-
fine their educational work to properly
equipping teachers for school work.
What the Pilot does object to is max
ing kindergartens and preparatory
schools for those whe contemplate fol-
lowing some other profession. The in
fluence of normal training will reach
the masses quicker and accomplish re-
suits sooner through summer training
schools, and teachers Institutes than
through normal schools. The normal
schools should be maintained but they
are asking too much ..of the present
legislature.-FUribaalt Pilot.

Due In Ninety DAYS.

The writer once kneWa farmer who
was an inveterate borrower. He in
herited from his parents a magnificent
farm, which was ere long devoured bv
mortgages. When making the rounds
OF the ,money-lenders, his query in
variably was: E'Mr. ------ y, have you
any money to loan for thirty, sixty or
ninety days?" Poor devil! Ninety
days looked far off when he was bor-
rowing, but the thirty days before
maturity flew away with frightful
rapidity. Only about ninety days un-
til the opening of the Worlds Fair at
Chicago. Are you getting ready to
go? If you are, possibly a few notes
about it may interest you. The esti-
mated cost is about $20,000,0O0. The
grounds are at Jackson Park and the
Midway Plaisance, in the southeastern
part Of Chicago, and on the lake shore.
The exhibition will open May LIST, and
continue until October 31st. The
countries that have already promised
10 participate are Great Britain,
France, Germany, Austria, Japan,
Mexico, Brazil, Argentine Republic,
Denmark, Cuba, Algeria, Peru and
many others. TO have a satisfactory
visit to the exposition, you should ar
range to stay several days, and two
weeks would not be too long time,
even to take a cursory view Of the
thousands Of objects Of interest to be
seen. In making your preparations do
not forget to make sure that your rail-
road ticket to and from Chicago reads
via the Burlington Route. Your home
ticket agent can sell you one-but if he
cannot, write to W. j. G. Kenyon, Gen.

HE moccasin flower is the
State flower. The ladies of the
Worlds Fair Commission are re-
sponslble for the selection of this
beautiful and retired flower. The
legislature was not captivated by
the ninny, golden rod cranks who
desired the adoption of that miser-
able weed as a State emblem. AS
it is, we have one of the most
beautiful wild flowers that can be
found on the face Of the continent.

The disappointment of D. L. Kiehle
to the Office of superintendent of public
instruction is particularly obnoxious
and distasteful to a very large percent
age of the educators and masses of the
State. It is a serious blow to the pub
lie schools and educational progress
throughout the State. No man how
ever efficient can accomplish desired
results in public position when he is
repugnant to those through whom he
must labor to work out these results,
This antipathy and resentment to Mr..
Kiehle is not confined to and particu-
lar class of individuals but is found
among all, from the learned college
professor to the callous-palmed farmer.
we do not say that he has not done
good work in the educational field in
this State. He has cultivated the
shrubbery and the garden but we need
a strong hand and arm now to break
new ground and Mr.. Kiehle does not
possess them.-FdribauH Pilot.

The Masons and priest had a
tilt over the burial of a member of
the order IN Wisconsin. The
fraternity performed the ceremony
while the priest satisfies his in
jured pride by writing a card de-
nouncing the order, etc. The two
organizations seem to have consider
able friction, and why is it? It is
asserted by men who presume to
know, that there is nothing in
Masonry prohibiting a Catholic
from entering the fraternity. If
there is a feeling who must be at
the bottom of it,?

six letters, for as many different par

He assures me that it is not in the
power of any senator or representative
to expedite matters in the pension
Office, and believe him. Any one who
reads the daily papers must be aware
of this. Witness the following from
the St. Paul Dispatch:

preparations already made. The mem
bers of the combine legislature wanted
to make themselves solid with their

A word or two about affairs at the
national capital first. Congressman
Castle is making a gallant fight for the
Mile Laos lake settlers. The Alliance
stick-in-the-mud Halvorsen is of no
earthly account to his constituents or
anybody. else. Mr.. Castle has sue
ceeded in getting a favorable report
upon his substitute for Senator Wash,
burns resolution, which if passed will
cover all claims after Jan. 9th, 1891.
and prior to May 3rd, 1892. Mr.. Castle
is not by any means certain that he
can get action upon his substitute;
powerful influences are working against
him: if he succeeds it will be only after
q great deal of hard work Just at
present he needs all the assistance that
can be given him. Congress adjourns
in less than a month and those directly
interested should act promptly. This
Mile Laos business is a badly
tangled skein, and it is becoming ex-
ceedingly tiresome to all concerned.
There are some people-those who
know it all-who imagine that nothing
is being done. Let them try their hand
and see what they can accomplish.
