A Center of Learning.

Fargo Forum: Would you think
it? Nebraska stands at the head of
the states in point of literacy, only
81 per cent of its population be-
ing unable to read and write. No
state west of the Mississippi, with the
exception of the four southern states,
ranks as low as Massachusetts in the
number of iiliterates in its popula-
ton. This means of course-and the
fact is a very significant one-that a
large percentage of the educated ell
ement of the east has removed to the
west, thereby materially modifying
its wild and woolly condition; and it
means furthermore that the west has
been doing a great deal in the en-
largement of its educational facilities.
The public schools of such states as
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado, the Dakotas and Montana
are equal in every respect to those q
any of the eastern states; and the
academies and universities are rend,
ering effective service in the spher,
Of higher learning.

They Kill the Tariff Bill Again.

Morrill,, chairman of the finance
committee, moved in the senate
Tuesday that the tariff bill be taken
up. He spoke briefly. urging that
the needs of the treasury and of bus
mess demanded action. On roll call
Morrlll's motion was defeated; aves
%, nays 33.
After the vote had been
ed a sensational colloquy occurred
between Morrill,, Teller and Sher-
man. Morrill, said the tariff bill was
dead, and he added that it was now
shown that there was not a republi.
can ma jority in the senate.
Teller responded with intense
feeling. He declared he and his
silver republican associates could
not be read out of the republican
party.
Sherman followed with a severe
arrangement of the inaction of con
gress, saying it was a crime against
the country and against civilization
He declared that he would continue
to urge action on the tariff bill
Senators Platt and Aldrich, in an.
swer to direct questions, announced
emphatically that the republicans
would not accept a tariff bill with E

People about Colliels, w. Va, are

REPUBLICANISM AND SILVER

SENATORS Carter, Mantle, Teller
and Dubois refuse to be read out of
the republican party. They hold
the key to the situation, and for four
years to come will be able to pre-
vent the enactment of any tariff Leg
islation. 1t is looked upon by east
ern senators in the light of IA calamity.
They no doubt feel sincere in chary-
ing silver senators with the Distress
ed condition of the country.
But the practical thinkers among
them will waste no time in verbal
trades. They will see that over
lures must be made. They will de-
plore the rupture in the party ranks,
and undertake some means to bridge
the difficulty, The stand of these
four silver senators is invincible, un.
alterable and final. They are no,
playing to the galleries for temporal
applause. They are drawn in battle
array. They have sacrificed all fol
a final stand and are ready to make
the field a Thermopyl%. or win the
encounter.
The national republican conven
ton is coming. These men will b,

delegates to hat convention viii
sympathize with the silver move
ment, Unless a silver plank is a

to choose some other curse Of act

There is today more immediat,
hope for silver in the republican
party than in the ranks of any othe
party. And if it cannot be remon
cited by that party, then we shall
not have relief for many a year
