ALABoRING MANS VIEW OF CoxFy

Hugh O'Donnell. who made himself
very notorious certainly, whether famous
or not. as the leader of the strike at
Homestead two years ago. is one Of the
newspaper war correspondents" who ac-
companied Coxey and his army in
position at Homestead was that of a
skilled worker In the mills. where he had
unusual opportunities TO know all that
was latest in the workings of the iron
world. and in this way he drifted into
writing semi technical articles. princi-
pally for the New York papers. on the
latest developments Of the iron industry.
and his ability In this line drew him
more and more INFO general newspaper
work until he has now taken it up as
his regular business.

WAS COXEY COMPELLED TO PETI-
TON by PROXY?

In lecturing to his law class at Ann
tnguished commentator on Constitutional
law, Judge Thomas NJ. Cooley, said of
Coxey's movement that individuals had
no right to go in person to the seat of
government and present their petitions.
as the wheels of government might be
stopped if the principle were admitted
Their chosen representatives, he said, are
TO present their petitions.
1t IS with the utmost Difference that
we differ from an authority on Consti-
tutional law so high as this, but we are
compelled 20 do so, nevertheless Every
man must have a right to speak in court
In his own cause Though Judge Bradley,
while ruling Colonel Breckenridge into
a trial in spite of the absence of his
counsel, upon the ground that he himself
was a lawyer. afterwards forbade him
TO speak in the cause upon the ground
that he was represented by COUNSEL, and
every man has the right TO petition his
government in person If he prefers II TO
petitioning through his representative.
There is nothing more beautiful in fic-
ton or history than JEANNE Deans tramp

The right to petition ones govern

because the occasions for a real use OF II
must necessarily be very rare But il
is right which is inseparably connected
with really free institutions. and it can
not be interfered with without doing them
serious injury. So far as the inconve
niences that Judge Cooley refers TO are
concerned. they belong to proper regula-
ton OF the right. 1t is very easy 10 leave
the right unimpaired. but to require that

But the right itself cannot be denied
although we think. as strongly as Judge
Cooley can. that Coxey abuses 1t out
rageously.

to outsiders, whether or not the facts
bear such construction, that the fight
made against Mr.. Nix is entirely fac
tional and with little or no. real foun-
dation for the action taken in his
discharge. Politics have evidently en-
tered into the New Ulm schools. or at
least the members ofthe board respon-
sible for their recent action, have made
it evident to the public that such is
the case. No good in the public
school system can possibly come from
such condition of affairs as New Ulm
now finds itself in. +.

Review has undertaken to give its rea-

c. G. Schmidt, principal CT the Lake
view schools, came here Saturday with
the view of applying for the vacancy
caused by the unfortunate removal of
Prof Nix, but after learning of the dis
charge and all the circumstances sur
rounding it, he concluded to return home
without rendering an application. Pre-
viuus to his arrival here, he had been in
formed by certain parties that Nix's place
would be vacant by Feb. 1st; and that
the Professor had resigned. Strange
isn't it, how peculiarly some men move
to accomplish their purposes, and those
men right here ia our midst.

Friday evening the unfortunate
happened. The public schools Of the
city received a. blow from which they
will not recover for years to come.
The school board met in regular
session and took upon itself the
blame and disgrace of remov-
ing from Office, unceremon-
iously and without cause, the most
valuable servant Of the district
Prof. Nix. The resolution-intro-
duced by G. H. Hornburg- alleges
a failure on the part of Nix to take
an interest in the welfare of the
schools and furthermore neglect
Of duty. No statement could be
wider of the truth, and when Mr..
Scherer cross>questioned the mem
bers, Mr.. REIN, admitted that it was
the object they were after and not
so much the reasons or causes. This
was plain enough to every friend of
Mr.. Nix and has been ever since the
disgraceful fight was started two
years ago.
The vote on the resolution stood
as follows; For removal, Silverson,
REIN, Pfefferle, Schapekahm and
Hornburg; Against removal, Scherer
In this manner was carried out the
most deplorable act in the long his
tory of New Ulm school affairs. Be
cause Mr.. Nix had the manhood and
courage to withstand the effort to
place in the teaching force an in
competent and unreliable stranger,
the Board concluded that he too must
feel what it is to be removed. 1t
was the act of boys, not of men; of
near-sighted and bigoted politicians:
not of level headed friends of the
public schools. The public we are
certain, will remember it while they
regret it.

Outside Opinions.

TO show the feeling with which the
news Of Prof. Nixs discharge was re-
ceived in Mankato, the following from
the Mankato Free Press of Monday is
quoted: From this dis ance, it would
seem that the school board of New
Ulm has done its public schools an al
most irreparable injury in the uncere-
monious removal Of Prof. Nix as SUI
perlntendent. A contest has been on
for e,eral months, and the fracas has
become matter Of state wide motors
ETY.. Under the superintendency OF
Mr.. Nix the schools Of New Ulm have

Miss Mclaughlin Resi- ems.

Yesterday morning, Miss Mary
Mclaughlin rendered her resignation
as a teacher in our public schools, a
position she has held with credit fol
the past nine years. Miss McCaugh.
in was one of the ablest members OF
the teaching corps. She has always
been popular with the pupils, con.
scientious and tireless worker in be.
half of the children under her charge
and, above all, lady of pleas
ing and admirable attachments. Nat
urally enough, therefor, her resigna
ton will be a severe blow to the
schools, The pupils will miss he1
careful training, and ability alone
will not be able to make good The
loss.
The resi- gnation is one of the un.
fortunate outcomes of the unjust re
moval of Prof. Nix, which so deep
ly affected the people, the children
and the teachers in general. To the
latter, in particular, the act was 3
bitter one, for all held him in grea,
regard. No wonder, then, that his
removal should be followed by resig
nations of those who were best able
tojudge his work and appreciate his
merits. No wonder that service un
der an arbitrary ard unreasonine
board should fail to offer any allure
ment.
The action of the Board of Edu
cation in removing Supt. Nix is no,
one that calls SO much for abuse as

years, with Latin, admits to the advance,
professional class of our normal schools
pupils who desire to become teachers
will lS not be found willing to remain fou
years Tor doing work that can be don,
IN three years. The courses Offered
should, therefore, be so arranged as t.
enable such pupils to complete in tire.
years, as heretofore, course leading t.
the advanced professional class Of I'll,
normal schools. :.
.. Most OF our pupils complete thei1
school education in the local schools
Many of these do not wish to take Latin
These should be offered general course
without Latin. Such course can at the
same time be made to lead in three wears
to the elementary professional class OF
our normal schools.
4. While pupils must decide upon
entering the high school whether or not
they will take Latin, the required stud
les should be otherwise the same, in gen
eral' 1or all the courses during the first
TWO years. AT the beginning of the third
year, the pupil must then decide which
course to take. At the end CT the third
year,he may choose between normal school
and university.if he desires to attend eth
er.He may,lf he prefers,def his decision
TO the end of the fourth Year. l believe
that IN this Way we shall have an increas-
ing attendance in the high school,, and be
able to induce some of our pupils to en-
ter the University.
The following curriculum meets all
the requirements pointed out above, as
we'll as the requirements of the H. S. B..
Its adoption would result in making our
school one of the First Glass in the nea,
future. The appended program shows that
these courses can he offered with ulti-
mately not more than 60 hours of high
school work per week. Courses of stu
dy are given here together with program. J
The above courses of study might be
adopted by you, subject to approval by
the II. S. B., to take effect and he in
force from and after Sept. 1, 1894. The
WORK OF the present school year, howev-
er, should not be disturbed by changing
the programs now in force.
Even if no changes should lie made in
the high school, additional room will be
needed at the beginning of the next
school year, to reduce some of the lower
classes to not more than sixty pupils
each. l would suggest that small adj
dltlon be built on the rear of Union
Building' to be ready for occupancy
Sept. I, 1894. The $4,000 by which YOU
intended to diminish the bonded indebt-
edness of this district, might be applied
toward defraying the cost of such addi-
tion, with the consent of the district.
Should the above courses be adopted
as suggested, and should work on the
proposed addition to Union Building lie
begun early in spring, 1 am confident
that the H. S. B. will grant US the State
aid fol- the present school year.
In case of adopting the given courses
to take effect Sept. l, 1894, the time of
instruction required for high school clas-
scs during 1S94-95 will not exceed so
hours per week, as there will be 10 clas-
ses in Virgil and Anabasis during that
year. 1t would be necessary, of course,
to employ an additional teacher for the
high school from and after Sept. 1, 1894.

There is no danger that Jos. A.
Eckstelp will resign his position as
member of the Board Of Examiners.
Mr.. Eckstein believes in a bold stand
for public school interests, and so far

have any desire to see him Weld.
