WILL CONTINUE TO TEACH.

Minneapolis Teachers Will Give Private
INSTRUCTION After March 1.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 17.-Minneapolis
school teachers will continue to teach
even after March l, on which date the
board or education has decided to close
the schools because of lack of funds
Realizing what a serious setback the
pupils would receive by reason of the
loss of three months schooling. the
teachers are going to open private
schools. In many of the schools the
instructors have already made such ar
rangements and it is understood that
parents generally are taking very
kindly to the proposition. A small
tuition fee will be charged, 50 that the
plan will be within the reach of many
Of the school children of the city.
Where these private schools will be
conducted has not been decided. The
board may be prevailed upon to allow
the use Of as many rooms in the schools

WILL SHIP 1T EAST
Mr.. Letter Takes the Public
a Little Way Into His
Confidence.
His Wheat Will Only Remain
in Chicago q Limited
Time.
Refuses to Say How Much He
Has-.-Estimated at 100000
Bushels.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-In an interview
Joseph Letter, who is at the head Of the
December wheat deal, said he expected
to pay cash for all the wheat delivered
to him and ship it out of Chicago.
"How much wheat do I expect to
get?" he said in response to a question.
'That is getting little too exact. The
elevator people say that I will get all
the wheat have bought. If say how
much cash wheat I expect to get then
everybody will know as we'll as do
about how much wheat I have got

II will keep that to myself. My plan
is to ship my property away. did

rate at Buffalo or at New York or at
Boston than can here. The lakes are
closed, but the grain can be sent all
rail about as cheap as it could have
been sent by lake and rail. Most of it
will go ont. That has been settled.
"Corner talk is ridiculous. There
isn't any corner; corner has never
been contemplated; there wont be
any,"
There is still much speculation as to
how much wheat will be loaded upon
Letter and his associates.
There is an idea that Letter has 8, ,0OO.,
600 bushels bought and if these figures
are realized there will be still left shorts
to the extent of 100000 bushels to
help pay toward the campaign expenses.
Letter has unquestionably forced some
settlements already.
1t is said Armour will deliver almost
4,OOO, ,OOO bushels aud Seaveners &
Weare and thet)other elevator people
will probably contribute s,Ooo. .0Oo
bushels.
The delivery Of the cash wheat on
the December contracts may end the
campaign and it may not. Letter may
ship his wheat, sell it, and take his loss
or his profits, as it turns out. But the
shipment of SO large a line of wheat
would be pretty certain to bull the
January and the May futures and
Letter may turn up as q holder of those
months. That is the play the pit ex.
poets in case the wheat stock is moved
away,

Of both North and South. There Is a
point of view where the lights OF all past
experience will focus their searching rays
| upon this question. They reveal Q) that
none but natural advantages can be
counted upon as permanent tactorsi CD
that abnormal conditions, arising from
whatever sources and subject to possible
and desirable removal cannot long en-
dure; (3) that abnormal or temporary
conditions are frequently the important
agencies in the achievement of~great
ends which finally create or restore accord
ing TO circumstances, the symmetry OF
ideal relations; ca il points with finger
of unerring precision TO this fact, that
high achievements arc only possible where
the fruit threof is justly distributed; (5)
that there must eventually be fair
division of the products of labor such as
we are determined within the spheres OF

necessary to the general prosperity of IA
people are impossible. "
This is surely logical. But the writer

and quotes history and precedent to better

tate to bring the subject of.the tariff into
his exposition for all he speaks TO

cellent review and able argument in the
following encouraging and reassuring
words directed to North and South alike:
"Under the policy of wise and just
protection for American labor in the
South as we'll as in the North, there is the
promise of future exceeding anything
which we have witnessed in the past. Let
this fact be recognized and kept in view:
That more than one-half of the worlds

moved therefrom, and that more than

To the Editor of The News:
If you will allow praise of an individual in
your corresr ondence column, would like to
speak good word for Mr.. Francis Gallagher.
His chief characteristic is sincerity, and the
following incident think will demonstrate
that: Last winter during one of the snow
storms Mr. Gallagher was agked for assist.
ance by n man who told the usual story Of
want and no work. Mr.. Gallagher did not
give him money outright, and he didn't go TO
the other extreme of making the man starve
while the red tape investigation of some So
ciety was put in operation, but he forthwith
purchased IA snow shovel, made the man a
present of IL and intimatcd that with such
equipment he would have no trouble in find
ing work. This little act of charity tempered
with reason Is more consistent with the pro-
fessions of the man than are the numerous
committee meetings of many better dressed,
better fed and much more talxative reformers
of this city.
Mr.. Gallagher is underestimated'and a good
many excellent suggestions from him are ig
nored and perhaps rIdiculed because Of an un-
fortunate impedment in the mans speech
and because he is mistaken for a crank.
