Battles Of the Civil War.

The campaigns and battle Of the civil
war were on a scale Of surprising M Eni-
tude. There were more than a score
single battles. sometimes extending over
several days. in each of which the losses
in killed and wounded on the federal side
were greater than the aggregate OF al
our losses in all our other wars combined.

Something viii probably be done. The
demand for action is great. The immense
surplus and the commercial spirit will
probably not be ignored. Just what ac-
ton will be taken by the new congress
is rather hard to say.
There is no doubt that one of two things
will result. II action is taken: Either
certain reciprocity treaties Will be ratified
or internal revenue duties reduced ma
terialIy. 1t may be that both will fol-
low. Western members and many Of the
east are avowed friends of reciprocity.
All the country would welcome a reduc-
ton of internal revenue taxes.
The president is thought to favor reci-
procity. Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets. who despite certain statements
comes nearer representing the president
on the floor of the senate as spokesman"
than certain western gentlemen, made a
speech before the Middlesex club in Bos-
ton the other night which IS being dis
cussed very much. He declared squarely
for reciprocity, and that in the most con-
fident manner. He believed something
along that line would be undertaken and
accomplished by the coming congress. Be
cause OF his close personal and political
relations with the president, the senator
expressions have been considered quite
significant.

There are four classes Of statesmen now
thinking more or less along tariff lines.
They include:
First-Those who seek the ratification
of reciprocity treaties now pending in
the senate; and making new treaties.
Second-1 hose who would lower or do
away altogether with the internal revenue
duties resulting from the war tariff.
Third-Those who would puncture holes
here and mere, as it were, in the pro-
tective system; take duties off steel pro-
ducts; hides, and other articles.
Fourth-Those opposed at this time to
any sort of tariff revision. OF this class
there are two kinds: Those who believe
a tariff agitation and revision unwise or
DISASTROUS at any time; and those who are
jealous advocates, from selfish or other
motives, of a protective system. and
therefore disert thing to remain as they
are.

special Correspondence Of The Ed.

Special Correspondence Of The Eagle,
Washington. Nov. 16-Just on the eve
of the first session OF the hfty-seventh
congress, the moset important question
seems TO be tariff. Agitation of this
question is paramount TO the shipping
bill, the Nicaraguan canal, the Pacific
cable. and a dozen minor issues. The
presence in town of a number Of members
of the committee Of ways and means,
which must deal with this question.
makes it all the more important
This agitation comes from two reasons;
First-The great surplus now in the
treasury Of the United States.
Second-The desire TO enter foreign mar
kets with the products of the country.
The surplus of the United States has
passed about the highest point in history.
The balance of trade being in favor of the
country-that is. the United States ex-
porting more than it imports-the lessen
ing of war expenditures; and the incom-
ing receipts from the war revenue law
make this possible. 1t is thought that
the war revenue could be curtailed some
30 million annually, and still leave a
comfortable and efficient margin on which
to go.
nhe inroads manufacturers of the Unit
ed States have made into foreign coun-
tries has so aroused the commercial in
terests of the country that they are de-
manding some sort of regulations where
by they may even more freely enter for
eign markets. They think this may be
done by extending privileges to foreign
countris with regard to entry of their
goods here. Hence there is a powerful
class of American commercial interests
which seeks reciprocal agreements with
other countries.

INVITED TO THE NORMAL.

The friends and patrons are COR
daily invited to visit the classes in the
training department of the normal
school on Friday, November 10. All
of the schools will again be in session
in the afternoon, the primary and kin
dergarten departments from two to
three O'Clock.
A number of forenoon classes in both
the grammar and intermediate depart
ments will be transferred for the day
to the afternoon for the convenience
of visitors. There will be opportuni-
ties in all four departments to see the
construction and art work as we'll as
some of the results of work recently
done.
All are invited to the kindergarten
assembly room at 10 to take part in
an informal meeting with the instruc-
tors. The topic suggested for discus
sion is Chow can the home and school
best cooperate in the work of moral
training2 Related to this general
problem are such minor ones as the
Christmas time, and the selection of
children's books, toys, games, amuse-
ments, associates, etc.

while only three in every thousan
graduate from the high school. Con-
ditions are much better in smaller
cities, but not nearly..what they should
be-. Statistics taken in all the cities
above. three thousand in one of our
northwestern states show that less
than 16 per cent of the total primary
enrolment enter the high school, and
less than per cent of the total pri-
mary enrolment graduate from the
high school. The situation in Man
kato is still better, for the number
entering the high school in 1901 is 36
per cent of the total primary enroll
ment, the graduating class, 10 per
cent. Nor can it be said that matters
are growing worse; for comparison
of this ratio for 1901 in Mankato with
that of ten years ago shows that the
ratio of children entering and also
graduating from the high school to
those entering the primary at the same
time his more than doubted in the ten
years.
Yet the fact remains, that we are

Supt. Uline said: 1.-THE relatively
low attendance for this month as COM
pared with the enrolment is due al
most wholly to the diphtheria scare,
which. affected the West Mankato,
Union and Franklin schools. The pri.
mary grades are still running on the
single session plan, taking one-half of
the school in the morning, and the
other half in the afternoon. By thus
reducing-the numbers by one-half, the
teachers find that they can accomplish
much better results in half day than
is possible to do with twice the num-
Der in a whole day. This is the age in
which individual attention is abso-
lutely necessary, and this seems to be
the best way to secure it. -
Mr.. Uline asked for an appropriation
to buy reference books for the history
classes. This was referred to the COM
mittee on schools with power to act.
Supt. Uline read his report on
manual training, found in another
column.
President Davis said that his inves
tigation of the subject of ma nua
training.had satisfied him that it is 6
very desirable thing, and stimulates
the.interest of students.
Supt. Uline said that there is spe-
cial need for the training in Mankato
where the factories draw young people
away from the schools. Manual train
ing will hold the scholars better. an
interest those who are inclined to b.
"gentlemen-sports. .
Mr.. Fletcher thought that in many
cases the children are working in the
factories because their parents neet
their earnings.
