SENATOR MARION BUTLER.
SPECULATION AS TO HIS FUTURE
COURSE.

The Raleigh Post says: Senator
Marion Butler moved out of town on
one of the early trains the other morn
ing, though it had been announced that
his stay here would extend over Il week
1.-THE Washington Times of Thursday
said of the Senator:
1T seems that the Times early pre-
dictions of the probability that the
Hon. Marion Butler would bolt Bryan
and Stevenson are about to be verified
Senator Butler is expected in Washing
ton In a few days to open here the ma
tional headquarters of the Populist
Executive Committee. of which he is
chairman. Presumably he will then de-
finitely signify his position. His pres
ent whereabouts is unknown. In vain
was he waited for by the leaders Of
the reform forces supporting Mr.
Bryan, who recently have been holding
important conferences at Chicago. Be-
cause of his failure to attend the con-
ferences the Populists who were there
were unable to take any official action
on the withdrawal of the Hon. Chas
A. Towne from the Sioux Falls ticket
1t is thought that when Senator But
Ter arrives in Washington and opens
headquarters for his party he will sum-
mon here meeting of the PopuiSt
Executive Committee 10 consider the
Towne withdrawal. Apparently there
is scarcely any doubt that he VIII
strongly oppose the substitution of Mr..
Stevenson's name on the Sioux Falls
ticket for Mr.. TowNe's. Doubtless lie
will be overborne in the matter, and
then 1t is suggested that he will resign

HOWLERS FOR HARMONY.

Thus far we have not seen III any
paper or circular advocating the
nomination of La Toilette. one word
disrespectful Of any other candidate
| In marked contrast is the bitter per
sonal assaults being made upon La
| Toilette by some of the papers ana
politicians in oppotition to him
Notable among the scurrility pro-
INDICATORS are the Chicago Inter
Ocean, the Lacrosse Chronicle and
the Darlington Republican. Messrs
Bradford and Whitehead, whom
these papers are supposed to favor
cannot but be mortified by their
course, and will feel the hurt being
done them.
or the same character is an anony-
nous circular being distributed
through the mails, from nobody
knows where, charging Mr.. LaFol-
lette with having been unfriendly
to soldiers when member of con-
gress. The circular has not a word
to say favorable Of any candidate
1t reproduces screed against La
Toilette uttered by Corporal Tanner
many years ago. Thesame Corporal
Tanner who for inefIiciency and sus-
pected collision with pension attor-
4
neys ut Washington was compelled
to resign the position Of pension
commissioner, to which he had been
appointed by President Harrison,
and in which he had been found un.
worthy. TO Tanners TRADE is added
"A letter written by Or. G. G. Blanch-
ard, the whole thing being reprint
from IA democratic campaign docu-
meut circulated through the third
congressional district in 1890. Thus
are those who feared that LaFol-
lette's candidacy might disturb party
harmony working to avoid such a
condition.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENTS.


BES SIZE GiA VEN FRESHMAN Ola SIS,
dpjattevlne Normal school
In considering the matter of inter-
esting the parents in the welfare of
the school, the school entertainment
plays a very important part.
In communities where the people
have scarcely anything in the way of
social gatherings, the common school
entertainment is looked forward to
quite as much by the older people of
the community as by the pupils them
selves. An entertainment given by
the common school may be made very
interesting, enjoyable and instructive
by the cooperation of the teacher and
pupils.
Propably the best time for having
entertainments Is on noted birthdays,
Arbor and Bird Day, Flag Day and
other special days.
The feeling of patriotism in gem
eral, and loyalty to the school, may
be inspired in the pupils more by
something OF this kind, perhaps, than
in any other way; and, If care is used
in the choosing Of appropriate selec
tions, the exercises may be of as much
interest to the parents as to the
pupils. The training which the pupils
receive 10y taking part in these enter
tainmcnts is very helpful, and the en-
barrassment which they at first feel
upon coming before an audience will
after short time wear away and they
will Toe able to take part with an
ease and grace that the parents may
we'll be proud to have developed in
their children,
For Is it not as essential to cultivate
ease and grace of action as it is
to cultivate the mind? How much is
added to the value of knowledge when
il is communicated with freedom,
grace and elegance These qualities
count for fully as much in the judg-
ment of most people as the IDEAS ad-
yanced
An entertainment can not be given
without some expense, but TO cover
this a small sum may be charged for
admittance and the sulplus after the
expenses are paid may be used to get
some useful article for the school
room. The pupils will take pride in
having helped to get it.
The parents being thus interested in
the school entertainments can not help
being interested In the school, and
the relation set up between the com
munity and the school will be more
intimate and therefore more helpful 10
the pcrity Of the school.

spooNER's PHILIPPINE SPEECH.

| A copy OF the great speech in con-
gress by Senator John G. Spooner in
defense Of the republican policy with
regard to the Philippines, is received
in pamphlet form. Itcovers so pages,
and includes all the remarks and
questions fired at the senator during
the three days through which the
debate extended. 1t is generally re-
garded as the most comprehensive
presentation Of the facts and circum-
stances involved in the Philippine
question yet made to the country
The senator throughout contends,
as he has from the beginning of the
trouble, that he il not decided for or
against any plan of future govern
meut for the islands, but insists that
the present duty of this nation is TO
Quell disturbance, establish peace
and secure safety To all the people
there. After this is accomplished
and not before, can the question Of
colonialism or independence for the
islands be fairly open for decision
by the American people. Until that
time comes patriotism demands that
the arm OF the government be up
held. This view the senator beauti-
fully presents in the closing SEN
fences of his great speech, rs follows
"We will teach those people to know
us. We will give them every OPP
portunity in the school of govern
ment. We will govern them, not for
our benefit, but for theirs, aud in the
end the day will come, in my opiu-
ion, and believe it will be sooner
than | once thought 1t would be,
when that peope, with confidence in
rs and friendship FOR us, with pros
pcrity among them, with an appre-
citation of liberty, with some know
ledge of what government is, will be
able to maintain an autonomous or
independent government; and when
tNAt uaN comes l upubt not tue
American people, of all parties, will
promptly accord il TO them.
If, Mr.. President, in the end it
shall come about that through the
Spanish-Americau war we shall
have liberated Cuba from the
tyranny of Spain, enabled its people
to erect an independent government,
stable and strong; have made happy
aud prosperous the people Of Porto
Rico, and in the far-away Pacific
have brought neutrality-suspicious.

ucated them for elf-goverumeut OF

though Ii shall have costmuch of pa
thence, of tronble, and of sacrifice
We shall have wrought out a con-
summation more glorious, and af-
torded a nohler evidence of what a

been seen i'm the history OF tho
world" Applause in galleries.

under the spirit OF the state law
scores OF good old ladies of every
neighborhood are amenable To law
for the thousand and one applica-
tions which they always hasten to
administer on the slightest provoca-
ton. And those persons who have
faith in the skin of black cat bound
on the ailing parts in the dark of the
moon are liable to be jerked up any
time and fined for practicing medi-
cine without license. This is one
of those things it is difficult to get
around by statutory enactment and
its enforcement without curtailing
the freedom Of belief and without
coercing people into particular
| faiths. Christian Science may be as
| big "a humbug as has ever become
epidemic in this country, but the
question is, how can it be legislated
against without encronching upon
| personal Liberties And also, why
should it be legslated against? The
era of establishing beliefs by law or
! the prohibition Of the rites and pro-
ceedings and acts that accompany
| particular beliefs passed away with
| the dark ages. There was time
when even practciug physicians be-
! lieved that the way to cure every di-
sease was to bleed the patient to
| death. Now that we have outgrown
| that belief, how would a statute look
prohibiting cupping? How would
! it 90, in view Of the irreconcilable
conflict between the two existing
schools of medicine, for the legisla-
ture to pass Il law recognizing only
the homeopathic school and prohibl-
ting the practice of medicine without
Il license as IA homeopathic? Or is
| every new discovery, or every new
faith in methods for relieving suf-
feriug or healing the sick to be made
unlawful until approved by some
recognized profession?
Surprising, in the case at bar, no.
body had been called in to attend
the child-neither regular practi-
toner nor Christian Scientist. Would
anybody have been amenabIe to
law By calling in two women to
pray the parents didn't do anything
more than if they had done nothing
And yet those who were called in to
pray are fined 500 for their prayers,
on the GROUND that they were prac-
ticing medicine without "A license.
When was it ever estab' ished that
prayer is medicine, and by what
right does court impose Il fine for
administering prayer?

BRO. TAYLOR, Of Linden, has
spoken through his paper, the South

ship question. He thinks this corner

man; that Gen. Rogers should be
asked 10 give way; that thus the
third district could be united and
win. This is safe ground for "A non
