PORTO RICAN EDUCATION.
Progress it Has Made Under American
Control.

The expense of maintaining schools
is very high in Porto Rico, if we con-
slider what is received for the money.
The cost per capita per pupil enrolled
last year was over $13, while inMis-
suori, with its large and expensive
urban systems, it's secondary schools,
and its university, the per capita ex-
penditure was less than &c. This is
due to the lack of school buildings and
school plant in general, and to ignor-
ance of the principles of economical
school administration on the part of
school authorities. Lax discipline
and absence of system aand organiza-
ton in the conduct of the schools &C
count for much waste of effort and in
effective work. The gradual creation
of an educational plant, and the gain
of experience in the management of
their own affairs on the part of the
people, will be the only way to obvi-
ate the former difficulty. The estab-
lishment of good normal schools-our
experience at SanJuan andPonce shows
that these schools can be conducted
successfully under American teachers,
and with courses entirely in English
accompanied by consistently strict
central administration, requiring the
employment of normal graduates as
fast as they become available, will in
time improve the internal manage
ment of the common schools To ex-
pect that either of these things can be
accomplished in day, or even in a
few years, is to doom ones self to dis
appointment.
The total result of the American in
a. LII L. L.
of Porto Rico has been wonderfully
broadened and beneficial, however,
and were we to withdraw from the
island today it would certainly endure.
Nearly 100, 900 modern American text
books in Spanish have disseminated
information throughout the land.
Teachers examinations, conducted in
writing and without the possibility of
favoritism being shown, have set new
standards of attainment before both
teachers and pupils. The separation
of the schools from the teachers resi-
dences- though the school still occupy
rented buildings-has introduced a
higher ideal of school organization,
and has tended to emphasize the school
as distinct institution. New ideas
and ideals are beginning to terminate,
and will in time bear fruit The pro-
gress at first may be very slow, es-
pecially in view of the limited re-
sources available but the educational
process that is going on is affecting
not only the children but their elders
as well. And while none of us can
predict just what form the final out
come of our educational work in the
islands will assume, we can feel as
sured that the result of our efforts will
be salutary. Victor S. Clark in Octo-
Der Forum.

The coal strike leaders are not dis
posed to accept the terms of settlement
proposed by the operators, which in
volve an increase of 10 per cent in
wages and the arbitration of the other
grievances of the miners. 1t is said
that large number of the miners are
anxious to go back to work on these
terms, but will not do so unless the
leaders say so. 1t would seem that
under such conditions the leaders
would be apt to lose the sympathy and
respect of the public, which they have
held so far in their struggle, and
which has been such potent force in
their behalf in bringing the oper-
ators to the terms they have already
offered.

Mr. Bryan holds that the prosper
ity argument which the Republicans
bring forward will not deceive the
farmer - In 1896 the value of the
corn, oat, barley, rye, HAY, potato
and ....buckwheat crops of Minnesota
were valued at -$32, 4961, 26. In 1899
their value was $50, OS9, 52s, an increase
Of So, 593, 4O2 In the meantime the
Increase in the value of farm animals
was SIS, 7O5, 591, total of $22, 298, 993
And no one realizes this increase of
prosperity better than the farmer. In
the United States the total increase
in these values is only little short of
a billion dollars, being 1886, $40, 200.
It should be understood that the above
figures represented the increase value
of farm products for the one :, year of
1899 over the year 1896, and not for
the intervening years. And further
the farmers know that their condition
today lis better than when they were
selling 10c corn and 12c oats during
the last Democratic administration.
They know the open factories are bet
ter than Imperial soup houses. They
know that active consumption is bet
ter than under consumption. They know
thai. active consumption --can only ex-
list when the mills are open and the
people are earning wages and have
money to spend The farmers are not
deceived by any howl of calamity.

DEATH ON THE RAILS.
Chas. GeIbrech MangIed Early
Tuesday Morning.
While Attempting to Board Chicago &
Northwestern Train, He Loses Both
Legs and an Arm.

Another fatal accident occurred in
the railroad yards Tuesday. morning.
This time it was in the Chicago &
Northwestern yards, and Charles
Gelbrech was the victim. Gelbrech
was an itinerant pencil peddler, and
yesterday was the first day thathe had
been seen in Mankato. He visited
several places of business and endeav-
ored to dispose of his goods. He was
club footed and appeared to be about
forty years of age. He wore full
sandy beard. and was rather poorly
dressed.
About 2 80 o'clock Tuesday morning,
Gelbrech attempted to board moving
train on the Chicago & Northwestern
track that runs to the big mill known
as the mill track. - 1t was probable
that the train was switching, and why
he attempted to board the cars there is
unknown. He was found just back of
the mill, lying beside the track, hav-
ing been run over. He had evidently
missed his hold or slipped and fallen
across one of the rails, as both legs
were taken off at the knees and his
right arm was nearly severed just
above the elbow.
As soon as the W ounded man was
discovered by the train crew the police
were notified, but a good deal of time
elapsed before he was removed to the
city hall, as the city possesses no
stretchers or anything else for use in
such case. Gelbrech was rational
for time after reaching the city hall.
He gave his name and age, and said
that he had no home or relatives and
was an outcast upon the world. He
begged the bystanders to put him out
of his misery. DIR. Warner was called,
but quickly decided that nothing
could save the mans life. Gelbrech
died at the city hall at 30 a. M,
and the remains were taken to John
Klein & Co. s undertaking rooms.
A search of the pockets of the dead
man revealed little that would give
any information about him. In a
purse was ST. 20 in small change, an
other purse was empty, and among
other things of no particular value
were seven or eight lead pencils, a
map of Minnesota, little coffee done
up in a paper, and couple of cam
paign documents, one or two time
tables.
The switching was in charge of
Conductor Mallory and Engineer
Reinschmidt. The deceased was at
tempting to secure ride to st. James,
and made mistake in the train.

TO CLOSE DOWN.
The Packing House Will be Shut Up
Again Soon.

Again Soon.
1t will be unwelcome Information for
our citizens to know that the packing
house will soon be closed again In
fact, most of the men have already
been discharged, and only two are at
work. Manager Besser has gone on
the road for his father, who is in the
commission business in Minneapolis
He started on his first trip Sunday,
and with his family will give up the
Meagher house and board during the
winter. The reason assigned for the
practical closing down of the packing
house is the lack of sufficient hogs
coming in to supply the buyers. Good
prices have been paid, but not enough
hogs have been handled to make the
business a success. Expenses have just
about been met, and it is considered
the part if wisdom to close down.
1t is to be regretted that the bust
ness has not warranted the continued
operation of the packing house, and it
is to be hoped that it's closing down
will not be permanent.

The team that was supposed to have
been stolen from Frank Fasnacht, of
Madison Lake, Sunday night, while
standing in front of farm house, was
found Tuesday afternoon in marsh
some distance away, where it had
wandered after getting loose It was
not stolen and the officers have had
their chase for nothing.
The city ought to own several
stretchers for use in transporting in
jured persons Every once in while
some one is injured and there is long
delay about getting him to the city
hall or elsewhere, and then he is car
ried on dtay or express wagon. This
condition of things is not creditable,
not to mention the humane part of it,

orlando was held Monday morning

TEXAS RELIEF FUND.

In addition to what has been sent
to the storm sufferers of Texas, Mayor
Currier today sent to the treasurer of
the state relief committee at st. Paul
the following:
From Garden City Epworth league,
$3.50; Minneopa House collection
box, SO cents state normal school,
additional, 50. 70; Fourth ward, city,
additional, $1,000. Making total of
1854 The first draft to Gov. Sayers,
of Texas was $72O.07, which makes
the total amount sent by Mayor Cur
rier, $738. 81.
With what other sums have been
sent. there has gone forward nearly
81, 600 from Mankato, which is better
in proportion to population than any
other city it the state.

Down in Illinois they are charging
$40 per minute for Bryan speeches,
and making the towns which have the
pleasure of gazing into his counter
ance pay the bill. There has been some
wondering here whether the local
Democracy paid for Bryan, or whether
the Lind-Rosing syndicate footed the
bills $500 for the forty minutes Mr.:
Bryan put in here TUESDAY, would
be pretty heavy toll, and especially
in view of the fact that Bryan said
that four years ago while he got the
crowds, Mckinley got the votes, and
the same game sees in store for him
this year.

BRYAN,s MEETING.

Bryan has come and gone, but the
wave of enthusiasm which it was ex-
pected by the faithful would be stirred
up did not appear. He was given
large crowd, but it was quiet one,
devoid of that enthusiasm which one
would naturally suppose presidential
candidate would stir up among his
followers The cheers that were given
him were of half-hearted sort, as
though it was something that had to
be gone through with, but not greatly
relished
Bryan's remarks were along the line
given in the daily press of his trip.
There was no argument at all, simply
a continual finding fault with what
President mckinley has done and is
doing, and telling how the Republic
cans would find fault with him were
he president and doing the same
things in the same way. AS for chang
ing vote, he put forth nothing that
would do that even with men who
had not yet come to conclusion as to
how they will vote.
The result Tuesday would seem to
lend color to the reports that come
from an over the country where Bryan
has gone, that he is losing his hold on
the people. His followers see that he
Isl doomed TO. defeat just as sure as
there is full vote cast and as evil
dence gathers every day that large
vote will be cast, their enthusiasm for
him wakes less. Bryan's Mankato
meeting can be set down as severe

TRADE IN THE ORIENT.
The Social Science Club Discusses Its
Possibilities.

The Social Science club met at Schil
Ter hall Wednesday and discussed the
question of Trade Relations with the
Orient +" E. L. Patterson read the
paper and presented the topic from
several points of view, treating only
the possibilities which lie in China
and Japan. AS an illustration of the
possibilities of growth there and what
they might consume there if once
awakened to the use of foreign wares,
he said that if the population of
China used wheat to the extent of one
cents worth per day per capita, it
would mean an amount equal to our
annual crop at 90 cents bushel to
supply them for a year. He also re-
ferred to the possibilities in other lines
particularly in that of cotton and
machinery. He also touched upon the
necessity of increased shipping capa-
city on the Pacific between this coun-
try and the Orient and also spoke of
the Payne shipping bill and it's OBJ
jects, and what the granting of sub
sides might do for the upbuilding of
foreign trade, if granted more for the
purpose of encouraging freight than
the fast sailing passenger steamers.
Geo. NJ. Palmer opened the discus
sion and spoke of the chances for trade
in the Orient He thought there was
great field there for the cultivation
of trade and while he believed that
the awakening of the Chinese to the
benefits of wheat as a food product
would prove of much value to the
United States, thought the opening of
the market there would also be taken
advantage of by other wheat growing
nations as well. He was of the opinion
that our greatest advantage would be
along the line of manufactured pro-
ducts, if the trade there was studied
closely enough. s - '''---A
The discussion following was engag-
ed in by quite number of members
present. and quite division of senti-
ment was shown !. as to the real bene
fits that would be gained, or whether
China would prove such rich field
for trade as has been set forth by
some.
The next meeting of the club will
be held on Tuesday evening, Oct. 18th,
when J. o. Andrews will read paper
on How Shall the Philippines be
Governed, and Father Hughes viii
lead the discussion.
