OUR SCHOOL GROWTH.

There is hardly an empty seat in
any of the public buildings in Man
katO this year. Two or three new
rooms were added this year, and at
their meeting few evenings ago the
board of education ordered that fur
niture be purchased for one of the
rooms in the addition which has been
made to the Union building. The
crowded condition has necessitated a
good deal of changing around, but we
understand that all are being nicely
accommodated.
We have not before us the enroll
ment for this year, but last year it
was about 1,60o for the public schools.
The Lutheran schools had an enroll
ment of about 800, and there were at
least 300 from the city in the Catholic
college, and 200 in the Normal, max
ing total for the city of about 2, 400.
The total enrolment this year will
undoubtedly considerably exceed this,
and by the usual method of reckoning
would indicate population in the
city of about $4,000, which is probably
about what we have.
MankatO has every reason to be
proud of her educational facilities
and of their continued growth. The
continued progress which is being
made in raising their standard, is one
of the best things which can be said
in their favor. And it is the high
standard which they have attained
which is attracting attention out side
of our borders, and it is causing people
to come here to educate their chill
dren, and in the majority of cases to
remain here.
Nothing should be allowed to inter-
fere with the present standard of the
schools, or that which they are aim
ing at. The money which is used in
providing more room for their increas-
ed needs is money well invested and
will give the best returns of any in
vestment in the city.

FIRE IN A nARSH.

We took a ride Friday up be-
yond the cemetery ravine, where the
fire is burning in some swamp land
belonging to Mr.. John A. Willard.
The fire started up yesterday and a
crew of men was sent out to fight it
and keep it within bounds. The
swamp is 'of a peat formation but not
very solid. The long continued
drouth has dried the moisture entire
ly out, and in some places the fire has
burned for depth of two feet. There
is about thirty acres of the swamp
and some ten acres Of it has burned
over and totally destroyed. The fire
was started by campers, who neglect
ed to eXtinguish the brands at their
Mr.. Willard has a
crew of men at work digging
a trench about two feet
deep and about the same width,
around the portion on fire, and hopes
insthis way to be able to save the re-
mainder of the marsh. The rain will
help in the work of eXtinguishing the
fires, but it will take several soaking
rains to entirely put it out.

resolutions. He moved to amend so
that committee on resolutions be
appointed. This was adopted. At
this point the convention became all
tangled up in parliamentary law,
voted down the amended motion, eX-
planned, re-explained, questioned,
answered and finally passed an entire

SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
The ring of Democrats who barter
ed away the party principles for the
county offices find that while they
have lost their legislative ticket be-
yond recovery, they have also failed
to receive the goods for it. They did
not count on the manly independence
of a trio OF young Democrats whose
graves they had dug but who refused
to be entered.
W. L COmstOck, Byron Hughes and
Henry Robel are men OF too proud a
spirit and of too much independence
of pride to witness the bartering away
their party principles for bird in the
bush, and stand idly by without lift
ing a hand to purify their party. They
were on the war path yesterday and
found able co-workers anxious to as
sist them in teaching a severe lesson
to the would-be local bosses. They
came back with plenty of scalps hang
ing to their belts and the cOnSumma-
tion of the dishOnOrable marriage of
the Democratic and Populist parties
defeated. Their work is not yet over
and they swear that by the Ides of
November they will have the scalp of
every nominee of the recent Demo
cratic convention. They are unani-
nous in the opinion that the time has
come for the party to cast off the
Odious yoke of bosSism in this county,
and expect when this is well accom-
plished the party, having prOfited by
it's severe but well deserved lesson,
will recognize in the distribution Of
honors those who have made the
party what it is in strength as COM
pared with what it was six years ago.
They are as enthusiastic Democrats as
ever, and in desiring the regeneration
of their party they are receiving the
cooperation of scores of well-known
Democrats all over the county.
The result of the convention shows
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1894-09-21

that the POpulists have far more re-
gard for party principles and honor
than the recent Democratic cOnven-
| ton. By decisive vote it decided to
stand by Hon. f. M. Currier for Sena-
tor, and it goes before the people with
senatorial and legislative ticket rep
resenting its, party principles. This is
in strong contrast with the sad spec
tacle which the Democratic party
now presents in the eyes of the
people. The Democratic convention.
turned down it's own eXcellently
| equipped candidates, who were in
every way deserving of the nominal
tion, and put up three candidates
from another party, who, if elected,
would not vote with the Democratic
party in the legislature. Self respect
| ing Democrats all over the county
| look upon the spectacle with mortii-
cation, and will teach the party les
| son in November never to be for
gotten.
The Populist convention showed
that it could not be handled in any,
| bOdy'S interests, thanks to the more
sagacious of the leaders.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
| w lCn UuC It-dSSEulDlCI
after dinner, the committee on resO-
tiOns as were adopted at the first con-
vention, with this addition:
"Resolved, By the Peoples Party of
Blue Earth county in convention as
semOled, that no person
shall be nominated or en-
dOrSed for the legislature
unless he declare his alligience and I'M
divided support to our platform of
principles"
The latter resolution received three
votes to two against it in the COM
mittee.
Lysander Cook moved that the part
of the report which the committee
unanimously favored be adopted, and
this was carried unanimously,
A motion to table that part of the
report not unanimously reported
favorably was carried by one ma
jority.
The convention then voted to pro-
coed with the nominations according
to the call.
F. V. Golf named F. M. Currier for
senator, and A. HI. Matteson named
Gen. e. M. Pope.
X. KnutsOn seconded Mr.. Curriers'
nomination, saying the Mr.. Currier
was nominated unanimously ten days
ago, but that since then some schem-
ing has been done to let Mr.. Currier
down. Mr.. Currier is a Populist. If
Gen. Pope was Populist, it would be
all right. We are not here to help any
