Epartment Of public instruction in Min

placed in charge by Governor Lind.
What has been accolnp plished will be

educational conditions. 81 Keep Sus
posted son your new ideas assWe. feel
that Minnesota is taking many steps in
advance of us i'll educational matters, )"
SO writes the Ohio commissioners Of
education to Superintendent Lewis.
One important action taken by Super
intendent Lewis has been the revision
Of the normal school system Of the
state. The Minnesota normal schools
had long been below the standard of
other normal schools in the country and
below the standard contemplated when
they were founded. They were doing:
high school and grade work. ISuperin-
tendent Lewis insisted that in giving
their time to work which was better
done in the state high schools, the nor
NAL schools were not fulfilling thei.,
proper functions. He therefore, with
the cordial support Of the governor,
drafted scheme to raise the standard
OF the normal schools by making the
conditions for admission more stringent,
stiffening the course Of study, doing en-.
tlrely away with the elementary
courses, and extending the work re.
quired for graduation from the advanced
course.
At first there were some objections
against the proposed change, but it was
put into effect, and today the Mime.
sofa normal schools rank as high as any
IN the whole country. Furthermore,
the department under Superintendent
Lewis prepared and secured the passage
by the legislature of law for the uni
form examination of state teachers.
The superintendent was instrumental.
also, in securing the passage of the Ar
getslnger bill, which more than doubled
the state aid to the high schools and
the common schools in the rural dis.
tricts.
These are only few instances of
many, indicating how the service has
been improved during the present state
administration.

The gist of the Republican charges
against Governor Lind is that he has a
habit OF displaying pernicious activity
in doing his official duty. He refuses
to follow the Republican example of
drawing his salary and letting the
business of the state run ITSELF One
OF the latest instances of his pernieious
activity is a letter to Professor Otto
Lugger asking that the farmers of the
state be warned against the danger
from locusts or grasshoppers, and ad.
vised how they may protect them
selves against future damage by the
simple method of plowing all their
stubble fields during the fall.

The success abroad of the ath-

been greater than even their
friends dared to hope for.
Last Saturday, in London, they
bore oft first honors in eight out
twelve events in which they con-
tended with the cracks from the
great English snd Irish universe
ties. Their victories were most
generously applauded by British
spectators, and the London press
is bestowing it's handsomest COM
pliments upon them.
Athletes from this country,
both amatuer and professional,
have won laurels abroad before
now, but never have they made
such a superb record. Our boys
proved their superiority in vari-
Gus tests. They excelled in feats
requiring agility as well as those
which demanded strength and en-
durance. Their victories in Eng
land are the fruit of the greater
attention which has been given
to athletics in American colleges
during the past few years. Ten
years ago no set of college stu

ADMIRAL KEMPFF'S WISE
ACTION.

Admiral Kempff, who did not
see how he could protect Ameri-
can lives or interests by storming|
the forts of the Chinese govern
ment at the mouth Of the PeishO,
has been superseded by Admiral
Remey. The attempted rebuke of
the former was parted by his
prompt answers. He showed that
he knew his instructions better
than the men did who sent them.
The Truth is, the Adninistra>
ton is trying to keep within the
Constitution in its instructions to
the army and navy in China,
while it expects them to win bat
ties that will fire the popular
heat in the present campaign.
The brilliant capture of Taku was
a case in point. Admiral Kempf
did not see how he was justified
in storming the forts when his
country was not at war with
China, and there were no Ameri-
cans in or near them to be releas-
ed-uone within a hundred miles.
It is now believed that the
crisis at Pekin was precipitated
by the ill-advised attacks upon
the forts at Taku. It may yet be
seen that the bombardment of
those forts cost two thousand
American lives in Pekin. Il may
yet be seen that that act turned
the Chinese army and govern.

ally considering it an act Of war.
It certainly was an act of war,
and Admiral Kempf had no right
under his instructions, to bonn
bard those mud forts, and the AID
mi~nistration had not a shadow o.
excuse for expecting such actor
on his part. The bombardment
of those forts would have beer
tantamount to a declaration O.
war on the part of this country
and Congress alone has a right Il

Japan. England, Germany,

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George

been SO helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles OF
Electric Bltters, she is wonderfully
improved and able TO do her own
work" This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures ner-

TIEN TSIN TAKEN.
Successful Attack Following the
First ROut.

London, July 1.-THE allies
at Tien Tsin, after the serious
rout of July 13, have rallied their
forces and inflicted a signal defeat
upon the hordes of Chinese who
drove them back with such heavy
losses, The victory of the inter-
national troops is described in a
dispatch from Shanghai received
by the Daily Mail and sent under
to-day's date.
On the morning of July "A,
after the allies had recovered from
the effects of their repulse the pre-
ceding day, they resumed the at
tack on the native city, where 2O,-
900 Chinese were quartered and
ready for battle.
The fighting was fast and flu
rious. The allies used artillery
with splendid effect, and after a
time succeeded in making a great
breach in the wall Of tue native
city. This frightened the Chinese,
and the foreigners then rushed In
and captured all the forts from
which they had received such a
CALLING fire the previous day.
The slaughter of the Celest'als
was terrific, and the Chinese were
routed like rats. The allies sue.
ceeded in taking possession of the
whole of the native city and its
defenses, the Boxers retreating te
another position.
During the fighting of Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday tie in
ternational forces suffered very
heavy losses, those of Friday be
ling especially severe. It is est
| mated that during the battles o
. the three days about eight hun
dred foreign troops we're kille'

the bale OF this year is two days
