What a Diploma Means.

In our short account of the gradua-
ting exercises of Decorah Institute last
week we promised to tell our readers
what diploma from Decorah Insti-
tute means. First, thorough know
lege of common branches is required,
which is followed by instruction in al
zebra, geometry, physics and general
history, foar terms eacIx two terms
each of rhetoric and composition, Eng
lish literature, civics and Greek and
Latin roots; and Economics, Parliament
tary law, PHYSIOLOGY and didactics,
one term each. Each school term is
three months long, and the total course
represents "a terms work. No student
can graduate unless his standing in
each branch reaches 80 per cent. The
course required by this school is surely
a thorough one, and can not fail to be
an uplifting influence in our COM
munity.

but what we can prove. So certain are
we of it that if an unbiased Judge or

apologize to those who say ''liars" and
be among their "whippers In" for all

give up all past positions taken in re-

POLITICAL ANlMOSITY.

There are some people who place
themselves above their political party
and when they cannot run things to
suit themselves throw all party princi.
pie aside and endeavor to defeat their
own party ticket. We have few of
this kind in DEBORAH; they would
rather disrupt the party than to accept
defeat. If they cannot dictate the
party's candidates and policy will
stOop to anything, it matters not how
low or degrading. They will write
scandalous letters, offer money to dele
gates for their votes in convention,
peddle falsehOOds on the streets, and
go into caucuses all over the country
with slanderous tongues
Ever since Dr. Daubney's first elec-
ton to the mayorship of Decorah, his
political enemies have found fault with
the actions of himself and his council,
and have, by fighting whatever i'm
provements they have made, been
withholding rather than an uplifting
and advancing factor to the city.
Their sole reason for fighting him has
been because he would not obey what
ever commands they might give him,
and carry out to the letter their avar-
icious desires, and when they cannot
absolutely control any candidate for an
office it is the invariable rule of the
Republican to desert him and use every
means to accomplish his defeat. DR..
Daubney is not the first man who has
been the object of its wrath. Neither
does he consider him in servance
bound to bow the knee and implicitly
obey, though the king may writhe
and fret. This is why the Republican
antagonizes him. And so long as he
remains thus, just SO long will that
paper fight him. However we believe
the people of the county are becoming
disgusted with such political rot, and
will demonstrate their feeling at the
polls.

ONE of the new laws that will go
into effect October lst, requires that
school boards consist ofan odd number.
In cities of the first class there will be
seven members, in other cities and in
corporated towns there will be five
members and three in villages and ru-
raj independent districts. Subdirect-
ors, in district townships will not be
permitted to contract with teachers,
that duty devolving on the whole
school board. Another section pro-
vides that the treasurer of q school dis
trict shall be elected ut the regular
school election, by vote of the people
the same as member of the board.
Heretofore the treasurer has been
elected by the board itself ut the regI-
lar annual meeting in September.

valued aid in the work of many of our
farmer readers and should be found in
all Iowa farm homes, is maintaining
and steadily improving upon its already
high standard ofeXcellence. Its editor
ial columns and special departments are
a liberal education in all branches of
farm work. The Special Farmers
Insnitute edition for August, which
accompanied the regular issue for the
first week in the month, eXhaustively
discussed stacking grain, threshing
from the shock, the growing of fall pigs,
the plague of rats, the summer manage
ment of livestock and the means by
which short, midsummer pasture
might be supplemented, leaving little
to be said upon any of these topics.
The discussion, being carried on by ac-
tual farmers who narrated their own
experience, was of strictly practical
character and very instructive. No
Iowa farmers can afford to be witho ut

Farmers Institute editions. Specimen

of this paper who address postle card

son resulted in ihe defeat of the latter
by score Of to after hOtly con-
tested game. FOntinelle & Willis gave
trapeze performance which was of a
very high order and delighted
the large crowd which witnessed it,.
The diving horses made three excellent
dives, which is certainly an attraction
worth going miles to see. The balloon
was inflated three times but each time
broke open, consequently it was i'm
possible to make the ascension that
day.
Friday was also well filled with at
fractions, but the attendance was
smaller than on the preceding days.
The ball game between picked nine
from DecOrah and the Calmar team re-
suited in victory for Decorah by the
score of 8 to 8. FOntinelle IL Willis
gave very pretty tight wire perform
ance which was heartily applauded.
The diving horses each made splen-

better fair than ever will be held.

WHAT PRITCHARD'S ELECTION
MEANS.

MY election means much to the Repub-
liean party in the State and the Nation"
Thus spoke Jeter Conley Pritchard to
the General Assembly, after his election
to the Senate. This utterance may not
have been in good taste, but it had the
merit of truth.
Means much to the Republican party"
certainly. But his election was secured
by the votes of Popuhsts. Was this de-
claration equivalent to telling the Popu-
lists who supported him that they were
thereby building up the Republican par
ty to the destruction of the party with
which they have been acting?
1t means much to the Republican par
ty." But where is the good to the Popu-
list party? That is a question 10000
and more Populists will ask many times
during the next six years.

AN EXAMPLE TO BE INITIATED.

THE Federal House of Representatives
Yesterday, in the Tueker-Ios contested
election case, voted to seat Mr.. tucker,
the Democratic sitting member. Inc
Uouse is strongly Republican, but fifty
four Republicans voted that Mr.. Tucker
had been fairly elected and was entitled
to his seat The reports indicate that' III
tho main. the members were guided by
judicial investigation into the evidence
presented.
1t is a happy sign when election eases
ro sottled ON their merits. When either
party has a slim majority, the desire for
partisan advantage is SO intense that 1t
is difficult for members to be judicial.
But when there is no necessity for strain
ing the conscience to advance party leg
islation. it is inexcusable in legislative
body to permit partisan considerations
to weigh in contested election cases.
We refer to the action of the Federal
House to say that it has set an example
that the North Carolina Legislature
might we'll initiate A dozen members of
both bodies were not fairly elected, but
contests have not been entered in but
four or five cases They were commenced
because it was believed the evidence was
so plain that nobody could fail to do
Justice. We are not SO familiar with any
contest as we are of the contest in Wake
county. There isn't room for honest
doubt that the negro Young holds seat
to which Mr. Broughton was honestly
elected. The House of Representatives
ought not to permit any delay in this,
or in any of the cases. If justice is done,
if the example set in Washington is fol-
lowed, Mr.. Broughton will have his
seat not later than Monday. Further
postponement is a denial of justice.
Will this Legislature rise superior to
the old Thad Stevens's test: (which is
our d-d raseal?"
We wait to see whether Justice or Par
tisanship shall rule.

WHAT THE ELECTION OF MIR.
HARRIS MEANS.

The election of Hon. William A. Har-
as the successor of Mr.. PETER is an event
that is most remarkable. Ten years ago
On ex-Confederate soldier was not eligi-
Bile to hold office in the State of Kansas;
to-day one is chosen to sit in the chair
coveted by Mr. Ingalls,. Nothing short
OF a revolution could have accomplished
this result in Kansas
Mr. Harris is a native of Virginia, was
educated at Columbian College and the
Virginia Military Academy, and served
as a Confederate soldier in ID. ii. Hills
division. In 1865 he moved to Kansas
aud was employed as civil engineer in
the construction OF the Union Pacific
Railroad He has been a Democrat until
a few years ago when he became Pop
uiist, and was elected a Congressman
the Fifty-third Congress. A man of
ability, member of the Bryan school OF
thought, an honest and able advocate of
those reforms demanded in the Chicago
platform, the election of Mr.. Harris is
matter for genuine rejoicing. PETER
was siccant crank; Mr.. Harris is live
reformer His election means that Kan
sas has permanently shelved the narrow
policies that prevailed in the State when
the ingalls, spirit dominated.
