THE GRnAr.NoRTHERN ARBITRATION.

Through the industrial smoke and
the political fog of troublous and in
decisive month, there shines in the
Western sky the bright radiance of one
splendid and memorable event. The
general railroad situation had seemed
to compel the Great Northern system
to cut down wages and otherwise to
put its men upon hard times basis.
The result was strike that practically
paralyzed traffic on several thousand
miles OF railway lines. The Great
Northern system Families Minnesota
and the Dakotas, and extends across
Montana to the Pacific Coast. Its
headquarters are at st. Paul, and its
main Eastern traffic terminals are at
Duluth and Minneapolis. The strike
was not only disastrous thing for the
road and for the workmen, but it was
a costly and exasperating inhiction up
on the many cities and towns whose
trade was tied up. Under these cir
cumstances, the business men of Min
neapolis and st. Paul determined upon
intervention. Their good Offices were
accepted by both parties in the contro
versy, and their decision, after a care
full hearing, was accepted as basis for
immediate adjustment of all differenc-
es. The incident reflects great credit
upon the good sense and good faith of
all who are concerned, and it bears new
witness to character and intelligence
that have placed the stamp Of superb
GRITTY upon the "Twin Cities" of the
Northwest. President James J. Hill of
the Great Northern system, moreover,
has set an example that wholly con-
firms the good opinion of him which
already prevailed. lie showed himself
magnanimOus, just and strong in his
acceptance of the plan Of arbitration
and in his consent to verdict that
was largely favorable to the claims of
the strikers. In the added loyalty of
the employees, and in the strong ap-
prevail of the public, Mr.. Hill and his
corporation will soon gain far more
than they might for the moment seem
to have lost by submitting to arbitra-
tion.-From "The Progress of the
World" June Reoieeo Of Reoiea0s.

EDUCATION OF FARMERS DAUGHTERS.

Mr.. Harry Harding, secretary, sends
us the following paper, read by Miss
Clara Mccullough, of Patton, Iowa, at
the Greene county farmers institute:
"This is an important subject, and
think should receive moro attention
than any other. 1t is my opinion that
farmers daughters should be as highly
educated as those living in the city.
They do not have as good an oppor-
tunity to get an education, as most
farmers are not able to send their
daughters to a high school, and pay
their tuition and board, 80 to save this
expense / think they should have
graded schools in every township.
This would enable us to have better
teachers. The best teachers are al
ways reserved for the high schools in
the cities, and the poorer class of teach
ers are sent out in the country to edu-
cate the farmers daughters. Is it any
wonder, then, that our education is not
up to the standard, and that we
are looked down upon by those who
have the advantage of high schools?
We consider ourselves their equal in
every respect. Only give us the same
privileges that they have, that is all we
ask.
Farm life is not degrading, for some
of our noblest and best women have
been raised on the farm. What we
want is to have the graded schools
near our homes, so the farmers daugh-
tiers can attend and still be at home to
assist in farm duties. Some think they
need no education to make garden,
milk the cows and such things that are
to be done on the farm. But as am
a farmers daughter myself, and know
something about farm life,
know they need as good an education,
if not better, than those living in the
city. Then if at any time we should
wish to leave the farm to take some
other vocation our education would be
of good advantage to us. Education
once acquired becomes part of our
selves-something we can never lose,
and which will, in itself, prove for
tune to us."-RuraI Life.
We are pleased to be able to an
nounce that the publisher of The IN
ter Ocean has made special offer on
the weekly edition of that paper dur
ing the present political campaign.
He will send The Weekly Inter Ocean
for six months to any subscriber on re-

A MEXICAN CHRISTMAS CUSTOM.
Traditional Observances That Associate
Themselves With the Day In the u. 5.

written for the Dispatch)
America is not rich in feast-day Gus
toms. There are few traditional observ
ances that associate themselves with
Christmas in the United. States. There
fore those who have guests on their
hands and wish TO be original this year
are looking up festivals OF other climes.
Two social entertainers who purport
giving large Christmas-night parties, met
lately over a O'Clock cur of tea. They
formed themselves into a committee Of
ways and means 10 astOnish their guests
with unique foreign observalces.
'Now, you have travelled so extensive

remember something interesting for me
to have. Oh! / have IT," sne eagerly
added. "Plucky little Japan is in vogue
now. You have been there. Tell me

Many fond papas and mammas will be

Of economies for the little ones. There

price from one penny to ten.
Also. remember the sheets Of paper

A great hope dawns. a glorious birth

When angels spake with them.
