When Prof. VI. Anagnos. of the Per-
,sins Institute for the Blind in Boston,
visited Greece some time ago he told
the Queen about Helen Kellar, the re-
mar<able child who, though born blind
and deaf and dumb, has learned to ar
ticulate and can speak as freely and
fully as any una ffiicted person. When she
wishes to hold long conversation with
ANYBODY dear to her she places one hin
ger across the lips of the speaker anu
another on the throat at the larynS.
In this way she understands every
word that is uttered as rapidly as could
be understood by person with GOOD
,eyesight and hearing The interest
which the Queen took in Helen was so
intense that she exacted from Mr.. An
agnos a promise that he would let her
read every letter that Helen wrote to
| him while he was at the Greek capital,
and when he was about to return to
| this country she induced him to permit
her to retain several of the letters that
she had fead, which are treasured very
highly at the court. The Queen eN-
pressed on more than one occasion her
surprise that Helen, who is not yet in
her teens, should have so remarkable q
command of the purest English and
limited that the child might have had
some assistance in the preparation OF
her wonderful letters. But Mr.. Anag-
nos disposed of that thought by inform
ing her Majesty that there was n per
son connected with the institutio who
could write English so faultlessly pure
and sweet as Helen wrote, since the
little girl never had had an opportu
nity to form acquaintance with any
but the loftiest models of the Ian
uunrp

The Local Newspaper.

Gov. Francis, speaking of the local
paper says: Each year the local paper
gives from 500 to 5000 in free lines to
the community in which it is located.
No other agency can or will do this.
The editor in proportion to his means,
does more for his town than any ten men
and in all fairness with man, he ought
to be supported, not because you like
him or admire his writing, but because
the local paper is the best investment a
community can make. It may not be
brilliantly edited or crowded with
thoughts, but financially it is of more
benefit to a community than teacher
or preacher. Understand me, I do not
mean morally or intellectually, but fin.
ancially, and yet on the moral questions
you will find the most of the local pa
pers are on the right side. Today the
editor of the home paper does the most
for the least money of any man on earth.

Do AWAY With The Brigade.

There is a bill before the present legis-
lature which provides for the cutting off
Of one of the militia regiments, thus re-
ducing the number to two and at the
same time doing away with the brigade
organization. This bill ought to pass.
The brigade organization as it exists at
present is merely a luxury paid for by
the state for the benefit of Col. Bend.
1t serves no particular purpose in
strengthening the militia forces of the
State, but on the contrary weakness them
by requiring a force that the stateappro-
priation fails to provide for. Two regi-
ments of thirteen companies each would
be amply sufficient for all practical pur-
poses and better equipment and bet
ter standing could he attained by giving
the meager state appropriation to those
two instead Of dividing it between there
with a brigade staff talked on as useless
expense. Col. Bend may not like and
the Third Regiment may not like it, but
what the people Of the state want, if they
are to have militia companies at all, is
efficient service for the least possible ex-
penditure. Style and military show
should be dispensed with and thorough
discipline in every regiment should take
its place. With the money at hand, this
can only be done by making the force us
compact as possible and without any red
tape what soever.

Wednesday, M arch 8, 1898:
Sunday Closing of the Worlds Fair.

The Sunday closing of the Worlds
Fair has assumed new and peculiar
phase lately which will have the effect
no doubt of dazzling the first advocates
of such ridiculous proceeding. This
new phase is found in the cordial SUP
port which is given to the closing move
ment by the saloon element and its fol-
lowers in the heart of the city. Their
object of course IS plain and their mo-
tive purely selfish business one, They
have an idea that Sunday closing of the
great exhibit will keep the large crowd
of strangers in the city itself, where re
sorts will be doing business on the f~ide->
open plan, and for that reason they are
for once taking sides with the moral re-
formers and orthodox champions who
believe that Sunday should be a day of
rest. The companionship is apt to seem
queer and so much so, one would think.
that the latter and better class would
seek to espouse the other side.
Their only reason, in the first place,
for closing is that Sunday should be a
day of rest. In this they arc entitled to
their opinion, but between the two evils,
that of keeping it open and that of clos
ing it and holding the crowd to amuse-
ments in the city, we prefer to believe
that the former is filled with the least
danger for the public mind. Those who
want to observe Sunday as a day OF rest
and religious service can do SO if they
wish. but 1t is for that immense throng who
go to the city and go simply for amuse-
ment, that the Sunday regulations should
be adopted. No harm can come to them
from visiting the Fair, but if left loose
in the city with nothing to do, tempta-
tons will not be wanting to entice them
into what may work them great injury.
This fact alone, setting aside the. COM
mon sense plea in behalf of the working
man, should be enough, we think, to en-
list onthe side of opposition to Sunday
closing the best friends of morality and:
the public welfare.

The School Superintendency.

n
A movement is on foot which may be
brought to the attention Of the legjsla-
turc which has for its object law pro-
yiding for TIE election Of; the county
superintendent of schools by he tountry
towns, exclusive IF the indie pepdent
school districts. That there isl a good
deal of excuse for such a move there are
reasons plain enough.
The independents districts to-day have
little in common with those of the coap
try. They are above and beyond the
jurisdiction Of the county superintendent
AMI a report of their condition is the on
ly matter over which he is supposed to
concern himself And even in this he is
but medium for carrying the report to
the state department Of instruction: that
as fax as the superintendent being nee
essity in the independent districts is con-
cesned, no one will be found, we may
safely say, who will even claim that
there is useless work enough in them to
warrant him in drawing salary for the
districts in question.
II this be the case then, why not change
things SO as to make the superintendent
what he is in fact, a purely country dis
trict official. The independent ones can
easily dispense with him and the office
could be made to draw it's income and
expense from the districts which it rep
resents instead of falling as an extra and
unnecessary expense on the larger towns.
Besides it would give the tewns which
really require the office the power to
elect their choice undisturbed by the
heavy and disinterested vote of the
larger cities. Take it in this county for
instance, New Ulm, Sleepy Eye and
Springfield by combining ould. electany
man they desired for the position of SUI
perintendent. They are in nowise inter-
ested except politically, and the country
districts must take whatever they get. A
fairer way it seems to be, would be to
let those whose interests are affected, do ,,
the voting unmolested by the city major
tiles and then to make matters equitable
let them pay the officials salary out of
their own taxes What do the people
think?

ing'Backward.

In some respects, Chicago is not pro-
gressive: Her rapid growth, almost like
that Of a :mush room, her ambitious
strides towards. commercial pre- eminence
and her combative energy-all are the
source of national pride, but in politics
and in morals, she is corrupt far beyond
excuse or considerate indulgence. In
fact the tendency Of the Windy City
seems to be from bad to worse.
Today on the eve of an event which
will attract to this remarkable western
city the attention of the entire world, it's
people are preparing to elect to the Of
flee Of mayor man who represents all
that is'!ow and evil in great city. Hand
in hand with his election goes wide
open policy, the fruits of which will he
the triumph Of the slums and the glory
of thieves and black-legs. What worse
fate could fall to- such city at just such
time as at the present:
Once before when Carter Harrison
was mayor of Chicago, he made himself
disrcputable in the eyes of all its best
and most respected citizens. He sought
not their praises but preferred rather to
wink at crime and let it have it's way.
AS result wicked men, fast women,
corrupt politicians and purchased otfici-
ais carried on tn liz evil work at all times
of the day and night and in all parts Of
the city SO that to-day Chicago holds re-
putation for lOosencss and the corrupt
ways of the world that is possessed by
no other city in the land.
By liberal use of money and by skill
full wire pulling this friend of the dives
is again accorded the Democratic nomi-
nation and in order to be elected he will
spend al average fortune and will Ger
tainly resort to methods of clectioneer-
ing contemplate in the eyes of all de-
cent men. That he will gain his point
there need be no doubt, and from an adj
ministration that is doing its best to right
wrong and restore responsibility, Chica-
go must take step backward and make
place for crooks and bcastly rcvelry.
Gambling will thrive; thieves will do a
prosperous business; lewdness will stare
at the visitors to the city on all sides
courtesans will sit in high places, and
instead of being the Queenlike city OF
the west, Chicago will be a hell-hole OF
crime and debauchery far beyond the
control of police. Even if force should
be instated that would aim to give the
city a tone and coloring of Aecency, il
would be powerless. Tough people from
all parts of the country are heading
towards Chicago with the hope of profit:
ing from, the Worlds Fair and all oil
these expect a friend and protector in
Carter Harrison. Consequently they
will work and vote for his election.
To ward or this disgrace Chicago is
helpless. The laboringg people are mis-
guided into believing that Carter Harri-
son is their friend, simply because he
goes to their gatherings, drinks beer with
