A GOOD LIST.
But There IS Still Room for an In.
crease of Names and Money.

When the soliciting committee for
the G.. A. R. encampment and July
18th celebration figured up the sub
|scriptions received last FRIDAY
morning it was found that there was
1901 placed to its credit. Aside
from the subscriptions received
quite number of persons have
agreed to.donate labor and material
and the lumber yards have volun-
teered the lumber for seating and
other purposes on the G.. A. R.
grounds.
The committee has yet to see a
number of people who will un-
doubtedly subscribe towards the
amount, and the members expect to
raise the subscriptions to $1,000,
and receive about 5000 from privi-
leges, making a total of $1,000. Any
funds left over from the celebration
will probably be turned over to the
committee in charge of the acquiring
of land for the flooding of the Red
wooe river above the proposed dam.

If you are interested in teaching,
or in lettering your scholarship, or
in lettering your present position,
| need not waste very much time
importuning your attendance at this
school.
Remember. this school is open here
for teachers, and those preparing to
teach. Whether you live in Brown,
Renville or Redwood counties, or
other counties not mentioned above,
you will be welcomed, if you come
to this school.
Prof. L. S. Overholt, superinten-
dent of Rochester schools; Wells L.
Griswold, sup rintendent of Col
lingswood, Ohio, schools; Miss
Mary G.. Deem, supervisor of music
and drawing in the Winona schools;
and Anna G. Carter, teacher of pri-
mary education, St. Paul schools,
constitute the faculty. All of these
people are trained specialists. Miss
Carter will organize model school
and actually teach primary subjects
based upon approved sound
pedagogy. Miss Deem needs no in
PRODUCTION to many Of the teachers
of Redwood county. She is an
artist in her field and will please all
who join her classes. Profs. Over
holt and Griswold will take charge
of the advanced academic work.
Both are excellent instructors, ripe
scholars, and we'll fitted to do the
work which will be given them.
The demand is more and more for
better equipped teachers. More
money is now paid to one who holds
a first grade certificate, than to one
who holds a Second. The rural
schools are demanding better quail
fed teachers from year to year, and
justly so. This means that you
must be better fitted.
A program will be arranged so
that probable conflicts will be as
nearly as possible, avoided. Re
member, that intensive study upon
few subjects. say three, is much
better than diffusive study upon
five Or six. Come then, with a
definite aim to study what you most
need, limiting yourself to three sub
jects.
Should you desire board secured
in advance, please advise me. Also
state price you wish to pay. Board
will cost from $40 to 1919 per
week, two persons in a room.

Plan to review those topics in which
you need the most help. Bring
with you reference text books in
these and kindred subjects. Each
student should own an academic

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

An article on ''Presbyterianism and Infants Ia
the September "Homiletic Review" by the Rev. n
J.. Singleton. maintains on theological ana u
torical grounds that the Westminster Confession
in the article Infant Salvation neither teaches
nor implies that any children dying In infancy are
lost. He declares that all the churches apart from
the Presbyterian Calvinistic taught that pap
tism was necessary to the salvation OF chiidreh
dying in infancy. Calvin and the Presbyterian
churches denied this. and referred them to the
sovereign grace of God, who regenerates them oy
His Spirit who worketh when and where ana no"
He will" The article read before the PresDy-
terry Of Maryland, which then passed the following
resolution: "Presbytery sends cordial greetings to
the Rev H. L. Singleton and notes with interest
and appreciation his timely defence Of the Confess
sion of faith in The Homietic Review" The Rev.
w w. Moore, professor in the Union Theological
Seminary Of Virginia writes of the article: 1T

necticut. New-Jersey and Indiana. and twenty
nine more votes from within the borders of the
South itself.
Colonel Bryan's canvass this year has tended
still further to weaken and isolate the South.
BY adopting as paramount" the nsincere and
unconvincing issue of imperialism" he has now
alienated most of the Far Western States which
four years ago were ready to join the South in
permanent political alliance. But though los
ing him Wyoming, Washington Kansas and
South Dakota-possibly, also, Utah and
Nebraska-the issue of imperialism" has failed
to bring him compensating support in New
York New-Jersey Connecticut and Indiana, or
to assure the recovery of Delaware, West Vir-
ginia and Maryland. Should Kentucky, under
the pressure of legalized fraud, be carried back
this year into the Democratic column the South
would find itself on the verge of a new electoral
apportionment, reduced, through its reckless
surrender to Bryanism, to such political asso-
Citations as Il could maintain with a few Far
Western and Rocky Mountain Commonwealths.
1t may be argued that the passing of the
South's power and influence was only hastened
by its acceptance of Colonel Bryan's leadership.
The South had in the Electoral College of the
seventies 1873 votes out of 369. A decade later
it had 153 out of 401 In the Electoral College
Of to-day it has 159 out of 44T. Twenty years
9go the Slave States, with W-1ork, New
Jersey Connecticut and Indiana, could elect a
President with eighteen votes to spare. Ten
years ago they could do the same To-day they
can only give two votes more than majority.
In 1901, if census indications do not deceive,
they would not be able to elect at all But with
conditions they are to-day in Delaware, West
Virginia and Maryland what assurance is there
That the Souths lost solidarity can ever be re-
covered or what prospect is there that its lead
ership, discredited and weakened by the cam
paigns of 1896 and 1900, can ever renew those
old associations which made the united Slave
States so long an extraordinary political power?
New-York tribune., 1900-10-02
THE sOUTES PASSING POWER.

One of the most striking consequences of
Colonel Bfyans two campaigns has been the
passjng of the South's old power in National
politics. Through the greater part of the three
decades just ending Solid South" has been
The most formidable single factor to be reckoned
with in Presidential contests Attaining com
plete sclidity in 1850 and holding their vote
unbroken until 1896, the sixteen former Slave
States welded an influence in National cam
paigns never before acquired or exercised by
any section of the Union. Though in itself a
decided minority in the Electoral College, the
South's vote assured without cost or effort,
could carry into power any group Of politicians
strong enough TO seize control in less than half
a dozen disaffeeted Northern or Western States.
In two elections-those of 1884 and 1S92-means
10 such combination were easily found, and
had the disruptive forces which gathered to a
head in 1896 at Chicago been rudely and reso-
lutely checked Southern leadership might have
locked forward perhaps TO still another decade
or two of almost uninterrupted mastery in the
lower house of Congress, with an occasional
enjoyment Of the powers and functions of the
Presidential office.
The wreck Colonel Bryan's two candidates.
have made of Southern prestige and Southern
opportunity is complete and unmistakable The
South's natural alliance TO insure ascendency at
cratic States of the North-New-York, New
Jersey. Connecticut and Indiana. The co-opera-
tion Of these four had insured the Presidential
victories Of 1884 and 1892, and bad kept the

supply orders very quickly. The British firms,
on the contrary, have no such standard designs,
but ill each order according to its own special
designs The result was that the contract was
awarded TO the American competitors, because
they were able to furnish the goods as cheaply
as, perhaps more cheaply and certainly much
more promptly than, the British. So as a result
