Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1895-07-25

Vile last fall. Governor Upham and
Others of the present state officers,
should they be renominated, will be
no less embarrassed on the same ac-
count. 1t would save these officers
much unpleasantness, and the party
much humiliation, If a new ticket
were nominated in 1886. Hear Col.
Watrous:
Before the republican editors eX-
pend too much time and energy IN
defending the legislature for reliev-
ing the ex-treasurers from their In
debtedness to the state, they had bet
ter read over republican platforms
and casually glance at the speech
made in this city by Col. John e..
Spooner, last September, which
speech was so loudly and so long
cheered by the thousands Of republic
cans present, that bushels Of cough
medicine and barrels Of beer were
required to restore their threats to
their former wholesome state. Breth-
rem, 1t may not be a mess, but at this
distance it looks like one. Stump
speakers might begin, now, to devise
ways and means by which to satisfy
their republican audiences that just
the right thing has been done

The Bank of England.

A little more than two hundred
years ago, a number Of moneyed per-
sons Ga syndicate we would call
them now') advanced to the English
recommendation in tight box for
money on account of foreign wars
the sum of $6O00,000, at a stipulated
rate Of interest. AS II further reward
for the loan, they We're, on July q,
1894, formed into a corporation, and
permitted to issue notes to the extent
of their loans to the government, such
loans being considered the amount
of the banks capital. Under this
arrangement this bank has grown as
follows: In nos, it was $S,700000; in
1873, it was $36, 100000; in 1926, S5S,744,
900; in 1866, $6O00o,0O0. In 1745 owing
to the attempt Of Chas. Edward upon
Scotland, there was run upon the
bank, and to gain time, payments
were made in shillings and siXpences.
In 1857 there was general panic;
the bank had only S6,O00,000 in cash,
and notes poured in for redemption
from every quarter; 300 of 300 banks
failed. In this crisis, the govern
ment ordered suspension of specie
payment, and though the notes We're
at some discount, universal bank
ruptcy was averted. Bank of Eng
land stock is considered a safe i'm
vestiment, but the interest is low.

not wish to express any hard feeling
against agent Snow. We have always
stood hat in hand when he has come
to interview us, knowing that our
welfare lay much in his hands. The
impression prevails among miners
that drybore Is made into zinc. True !
Then the query suggests itself, if
drybone Is made into zinc, and the
zinc market is in good, healthy con-
dition, why does ii not affect us now?

Mylrea, too, Surrenders.

The hope IS dispelled that Attorney
General Mylrea would stand firm
against all pressure, and compel a
ruling by the supreme court on the
legislative act releasing eX-state
treasurers. That officer, after hold
ing out for months against the power
Of Interested bondsmen, has surren-
dered, and executed the papers dis
charging the judgments against
Baetz and kuehn, and the unpaid
balance against McFetridge. aggre-
eating $4,000. The attorney gem
eral has allowed It to be under
stood that he was averse to discharg-
ing the Judgments, and would do so
only under judicial compulsion. That
he should change front in the matter
at this late day is great disappoint-
ment to his friends. If the act OF the
legislature is constitutional and
binding, the eN-treasurers could have
secured the benefit of il by man
damas from the supreme court, re-
quiring the attorney general to dis
charge the Judgments. 50 much

lnequitable and Extravagant,

There IS general condemnation Of
the action by the state board Of nor
nal school regents in sharply adj
Xaneing the already luxurious sal
aries Of presidents of the several nor
NAL schools, and allowing salaries of
half ms much or less to Other teach
ers and professors, some the acknowl-
edged equals or ~upcriors OF the pres
idems for value Of service. This ac-
tion Il III line with the vicious rule
too generally prevailing IN the pub
lie service, Of paying those high in
rank rNtravagantly and those lower
meagarly, without regard 20 their
respective capabilities or usefulness.
The Grant County Herald, whose
editor is fresh from professors
chair in the platteville normal
school is ia harmony with the local
press generally, and with the public
sense of equity, when he says;
"Sevefal weeks ago the board of
normal school regents made gen
eral advance in the salaries of the
teachers in their employ. The in
crease in most eases was from 500 TO
$l0o. This increase was wise. Many
of the most responsible positions in
the normal schools yielded less pay
for ten months work than some
seeond-class high school pay their
principals.
such condition needed a remedy.
The only remedy available only
proper course for the board e. pur-
sue was to raise salaries 50 that they
might ~ able to secure and retain
competent faculties.
At the time this action was taken
the salaries Of the presidents were
unchanged. In fact there was no
good reason for changing them. The
presidents have been receiving from
$500 10 $1,000 a year~-nearly or quite
twice rs much as other teachers in
the schools of equal ability.
Rut the board ut their July meet
ing has taken action that is a sur
price. They have raised the presi-
dents salaries, not from $50 To 500,
but from Saea to 500 each. No such
advance WAS needed. The schools
