Prof. Campbell, principal of the
Madison Lake school made happy
presentation speech, opening as fol-
lows:
"We present this opera glass at
this particular time to you so that
our motive cannot be impugned as a
bride for favors, The schools are out
and no examinations in view and we
all have certificates for the coming
year, so that this glass is entirely a
token of our appreciation for your
noble work done on behalf of the
County schools of Blue Earth County"
Mr.. Scherer was so overcome by the
unexpected remembrance from his
teachers that he could scarcely reply
but finally found words to express his
appreciation of the kindness of his
teachers.
Mrs. Scherer was evidently in the
plan for soon dainty refreshments
were forth coming and the evening
was spent in merry converse.
The FREE PRESS joins with the
teachers in showing it's appreciation of
the untiring efforts of Supt. Scherer
for the betterment of our common
schools.

MR.. TOWNE BOLTS.

Congressman Towne has announced
his departure from the Republican
party, and given out statement as
to his reasons therefor. OF course, in
common with his silver boilers Mr..
Towne throws the responsibility for
his action upon the party. That is
natural. No man ever took similar
stand without the same excuse. And
this is no reflection upon the honesty
of purpose of the man. Mr.. TOwne
says in his own behalf: eff my friends
and former political allies in Mime
sofa will be fair to me in the move
ment which l have taken, let them
say that l am mistaken and do not
know what [ am talking about, but
do not let them question my entire
honesty and sincerity" Naturally
Mr.. Towne would be somewhat sensi-
tive upon this point. but we do not be-
lieve that his honesty of purpose will
be questioned now any more than it
has in the past. But let Mr.. Towne
be equally fair and honest. Let him
acknowledge that he has drifted away
from the Republican party, instead of
the party leaving him. Speaking of
the party he says: "From bimetal-
lism it has gone over to monometal
lism." OF course, in taking this posi-
tiOn, he holds that he and his fellow
boilers are bimetallists. But they are
not. They are simply silver monome-
talllsts, no less, no more. The policy
they advocate would lead to that and
nothing short. He says the Republi-
can party has drifted away from BIZ
metallism. But it has not so drifted
for the theoretical bimetallism which
he talks about it never endorsed,
hence could never drift away from.
For the practical blmetallism we have
today-the concurrent circulation of
the two metals which we now have
the Republican party has always
stood, and stands today. 1t has not
departed from that position in one
particular. The system which we
have, and by which we have a larger
circulation of silver, or it's representa-
tive paper, than ever before in history,
depends entirely upon the main
tenance of the existing gold standard.
Discard that and silver monometal-
lism follows at once. From this posi-
tion the Republican party has not
departed, but from 1T Mr.. Towne and
his fellow boilers have taken their
final leave. But the cause of true BIZ
metallism will not suffer because of
their course, but will be triumphant
at the hands of the people next No

and Hobart and the endorsement of

County Supt. Scherer Receives an

The proudest man in the city today
is county Supt Scherer and we might
add the most conceited, for about
nine o'clock Friday several car

took forcible possession.
The genial superintendent who

better, wondered what was wrong
now, for the occupants of the car

intelligent teachers and came to show
their appreciation of the splendid
work being done by Mr.. Scherer and
to more fully show it they presented
him with very beautiful combina-

Berkeley. Va, Dec 4. 1896.
Editor Vlrginian-It must be very
gratifying to the people OF this section
to read In your paper the rapid progress
being made to make Norfolk the
most important seaport on the Southern
coast. and at the same time 1t must be
a pleasure to you to know that no paper
in this section has done more to push
Norfolk ahead than the VirgInian.
Now, MI Editor, 1t is true what helps
Norfolk helps this port. but not being
citizen, no one wishes her success
more than myself. The water front of
Norfolk, you know. Is limited, that Of
Portsmouth is owned mostly by the rail-
roads. while that of Berkeley, from Cam
postella bridge to St. Helena. a dis
lance of two miles, or more, Is mostly
unimproved, and will be quite an add!-
ton to that of Norfolk. You see tina.
we people who reside in Berkeley are
willing that you should have our water
font to Increase that of Norfolk, but we
are not willing that you claim 1t without
saying who II belongs to. We know
that you must a. no distant day have
to use it, or Berkeley Will have to. and
We are very anxious that while you are
so good In advertising Norfolk, remem-
Der your neighbor, and say good word
for her. We have no paper published
here, owing to being so near to Norfolk
that our people like 10 patroniZe your
city, and your papers also. Now. be good
to us, and give us all the credit that is
ours, and let the world know that Berli-
ley Is OF much Importance, as you well
know she is PROGRESS.
(Berkley Is naturally n part of Nor
folk. 1t ought actually TO be so. ana Ii
is hoped "anncXation" will yet be effect
ed. Let the effort be again made, and
for the success of the mea -urc.-E,d.
