paper, about two by eight, with cer- tain hieroglyphics on it. The latter now turns out to be about as etficacious in producing the coin of the constitu- tion, for which the republican cam paign lauguishes, as would the cabal- istic characters on an Egyptian papy- rus.
 In other words, the S10o,o00 check which temporarily found a lodging place in Maj. Dicks right-hand vest pocket while Senator Hanna instructed the auctioneer to label the republican convention "Sold" now turns out to be worthless or nearly so. Mr Hanna is compelled to make an undignified scramble for what he can get from the thrifty Philadelphians by way of com promise for his check. He is said to have scaled the indebtedness to S6O,- GOO, but of this less than one-half, or S3o,00o, is actually pledged. Mean while Mr. Hanna has been forced to take what ready cash the committee chose to give him and to return to cam paign headquarters with the old, old necessity of liberal fat-frying still staring him in the face.
 The trouble is that it is too late for reprisals. Philadelphia has the con- vention and any attempt at changing the assignment would give rise 10 na- tional scandal. Of course the commit tee is collectively and severely indig- nant that the convention was not award ed to Chicago, whose refusal to bid for it with cash bonus and whose ample guaranty to pay all the ex- penses had al least the merit of honesty. But regrets will not now help mat ters.
 Let us hope that Philadelphia win be generous enough not to require the members of the national republican committee to pay their own expenses. That would be charging our bucolic friends for the privilege of being swim dled.-Chicago Chronicle.

VALUE OF ORATORY.
Eloquent Flights Are Not of as Much
Use Before Juries as
Plain EIuency.

In an address before the Irish Lit
erary society on John Philpot Cur
ran" Lord Russell of Killowen. the
chief justice, declared the value of ora
!. tory to a lawyer is overrated. He as
serted that it is an important vehicle
for argument and for the enunciation
and enforcement of great principles.
But" he said, there is a tendency to
run to seed in this regard, and to look
upon fluency of speech as if it we're
oratory." Gifts of speech could never
attain to their real momentum and
power until founded Upon a substra .um
of carefully acquired knowledge and
upon solid argument. The opinion of
the lord chief justice is that of most
men who have considered the subject.
The art of oratorical flights is less prac-
ticed, not SO much because men are
less able to make such speeches, but
because they have lost their value.
They are of slight use before juries and
of no use with judges. There is a pop
ulr disposition to distrust the man
who makes too great display of his
gifts of speech when he makes an adj
dress. The public, being more en-
lightened, has come to weigh argu-
ments more carefully. When the ora
tor is able to appeal to the passion of
the moment he is sometimes influential,
but there his power ends. This is why
the leaders of the bar to-day are not
great orators, but rather men with the
carefully acquired knowledge which
they are able to present logically to
the judge or jury they would convince.

The Tobacco Rush.

The deliveries of tobacco were heavy at
local warehouses while sleighing lasted.
Friday and Saturday there was con
tinuous procession of teams bearing a
burden of the weed. Farmers are some
what disappointed at the weight. the
leaf being free from dampness and of a
lighter quality than usual. The average
weight is 200 to 1 $50 per acre, whereas
in most years it runs 1900 to 1000.
Warehouse men say the crop has never
been delivered in better shape. The
Edgerton Tobacco Reporter comments
as follows On the general conditions In
Wisconsin:
The proceeds which the tobacco grow
ers of this state are receiving this year
from the sale of their crops are averag-
ing larger than year ago Outside the
hail sections the crop is netting the
growers about hundred dollars All acre
and there is surely good round profit
in the business to farmers at these rig
ures. The yield is doubtless trifie less
than year ago, and yet some crops of
Havana seed crowded close to q ton to
the acre. When this occurs the proceeds
are nearer $3.50 an acre than 800. I'm
der this showing there will be, no doubt,
a larger acreage planted next season.
The writer has given upas HOPELESS task
the idea of attempting to influence grow
ers against overproduction. The price
is the only regulator of acreage that we
know of. AS long as tobacco sells at
such figures as has been paid for the '9S
and 'g9 crops, just SO long will the
acreage in this state keep on increasing
Nothing but poor crops or low prices
will prevent it. Wisconsin farmers can
produce tobacco cheaper than any cigar
leaf state and overproduction effects our
growers the least of any. Ours will be
the last to reduce acreage when such a
time comes, and it surely WILL as the
market conditions now stand

Teachers Meeting ai LaFarge.

The meeting was called to order by Supt.
Gardner at 1880 a. m January 18th, and was
opened with song by the school followed by
class exercise in primary reading by Miss
Mallow. The teacher and pupils showed
good preparation for the recitation, and her
method was favorably endorsed by teachers.
One OF the strong features OF the recit alton
was the assignment of the lesson for the fol-
lowing recitation, All the teachers present
a{reed that the lesson assigned, correctly,
will insure a good lesson for the following
recitation. Another feature of the recita ion
was the forming of mental pictures from the
reading. AT the close of the discussion that
followed i've of the high school pupils enter
tanned the association with instrum entail
music.
Next topic taken up History of the Boers''

established at Cape Colony by the Dutch

merry BELLS when Mr. Lombard completed
his topic. He gave US a good history OF the

from Holland 70 the present time. AT the.
close of this subject the meeting was enter
tanned with instrumental music.
Mr.. Widmer took up the topic The war in
South africa giving the causes and tracing
different movements of the armies ana Civ
Ing results up To the present time 1t proved
beneficial to all who heard it. This was fol-
lowed with solo by Miss Hattie Gift en-.
titled Placing q daughter in school
Mr.. Sherman conducted q class of ten
teachers In recitation on Geography Of
South Africa" This was we'll handled and
teachers showed good preparation on so,
difficult subject. Mr.. Sherman discussed
the physical features, the climate and its
notifications, and the products OF South At
RIGA. ALI present felt as IL they could teach
the geography Of Africa as they lad never
taught Ii before. The three tories relating to
South Africa were then discussed.
Attendance was very good. A large num-
Der of people from village and surrounding
country attended and we think both teach
ers and others were we'll paid. A great deal
of interest was manifested throughout the
meeting. Teachers should make every pos
sf5'e effort to attend these meetings and do
all they can TO make them a success. We be-
lieve that he who shirks his duty at one ot
these meetings will also shirk his duty an
