Special to The Journal. FL

gational association of Minnesota
opened at the First Congregational

NORWAY and Ireland.

The Philadelphia North American
comments quite sharply upon the tone
Of the London press in regard to the
Norwegian Swedish settlement and the
evident fact that these papers would
have fits if the same kind of an agree,
ment between England and Ireland
should even be whispered.
: Norway and Sweden entered into q
pact which left each sovereign in it's
own territory. They have dissolved
that pact and each goes it's own way as
q separate nation.
Ireland has been held for more than
a century as the vassal of Great Britain
under an act of union which was
brought about by the most shameful
frauds. Ireland has never gone to the
extent of demanding the return Of her
nationality, but has contented herself
with asking a local parliament in which
she might make her own domestic laws,
and this has been refused her.
The world has been taught to believe
that the Irish were an impulsive race
who could not be trusted with their W
affairs. But in view of all the circum-
stances, the Irish appear as the most
patient and forgiving people the mod
ern world knows anything about. They
have fought a strictly constitutional
fight and while they have never made a
secret Of the fact that they considered
themselves entitled to the restoration
Of their nationality, they have pledged
themselves to lower their demands to
the establishment Of a local parliament.
The objections Of England to an Irish
parliament are based upon the fear that
# it were set up it would grow into q
n to the union. There is no rea-
son to expect such a result except in

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Mother and the School.

TO the Editor Of The Journal. =
The editorial in you edition of Sunday
morning, entitled 1.-THE Mother and the
School," deserves more than passing COM
ment from the teaching world. Co.
operation is the keynote of all harmony
in the ideal school. A large per cent Of
the difficulties which arise in school life
are founded upon misunderstanding
which cannot but exist where parents are
ignorant Of the condition upon which the
welfare of the school depends. Rulings
which might otherwise seem tyrannical,
may resolve themselves into wise pre-
cautions when the conditions which called
them, into being are understood, and the
isolated fact which the child details when
he goes home MAJ seem most unneces-
sary or absurd, until it Is explained by
what preceded or followed: it as a judi
cious and perhaps unavoidable step in the
days progress. 1t Is, Of course, impos-
sible to follow a child,s progress in every
daily detail, but the spirit Of confidence
which is the .outgrowth Of healthful CO.
operation on the part Of the child's best
friends will almost inevitably insure him
a successful school life. sr
I am cordially in sympathy with your
editorial. Jennie M. Youngs,
= Principal Garfield School.

But one Indian returned to visit the
scenes of his early exploits, and that
was Chief Little Crow, the leader Of
the massacre in which more than 900
persons were slain. He had lived near
Hutchinson and was well acquainted
with many Of the settlers.
On July 3, 1868, Chauncey and Bir-
ney Lamson, father and son., were hunt
ing in the woods six miles north Of
Hutchinson. They saw an Indian and
he at the same time caught sight Of
them. All three fired at once. The
Lamsons were unhurt, but the Indian,
who was accompanied by a boy, was
killed. The Lamsons saw the boy ten

then disappear in the woods. The Lam

day a party went, out and .broughtrin

M. White Not Diseraced.'

The reception Of M. Witte by the
car and the comforting of the rank of
count upon the late envoy is certainly
more creditable to the ruler of Russia
than the first reported intention of
ignoring him. The ways of Russia are
1~nscrutable and it is probable that there
was never an intention of snubbing M
Wltte, but it vas necessary, according
to Russian ideas, to intimate to the
world that White had done very poorly
and that the "little father' was dis.
pleased with him. Witte himself fos.
tered this idea by hanging a long face
while in America and permitting his
suite to give out lugubrious hints that
they did not know what their reception
would be at home.
1t was noticeable that NJ. Witte re.
covered his spirits somewhat the mo.
ment he struck European soil and when
he reached Paris he was giving out in.
terviews IN home affairs that might
have come from a responsible minister,
The czar sent for him immediately ia
meet him on his yacht and has made it
manifest that. he is much Obliged to M.
Witte for rescuing him from a very
deep hole.
In addition to his titular ~honors
Witte, it is reported, will have substan-
tial rewards as well. He may be made
head of the new cabinet Of ministers,
which, under the plan calling for the
election of a douma, will be a very i'm
portant body. It will have as much, if
not more, legislative initiative than the
douma itself.
Americans who sincerely rejoiced in M.
Witte' s success in extricating his coun-
try from a very disastrous war will re-
joice also that his talents will be again
at the service of the people. Perhaps
he learned something over here. Per-
haps he learned that the American sym
patty with the Jews and her protest
against Kishineff was not politics; per-
haps he learned, as he intimated him
self, that freedom of the press has done
America good; possibly be compre-
hended that public opinion does more
to shape the destiny Of this republic
than written laws. If these things i'm
pressed himself as applicable to his own
country, he may have gone back to
Russia a stronger statesman than when
he came.
The greatest obstacle in the way Of
NJ. Witte is the fact that he is inca
pable Of the kind Of intrigue which
makes and unmakes men in Russia. He
should have learned by this time that

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The Lyceum management is showing
commendable judgment in providing it's
patrons with an improved line of vaude-
Vile. Having become familiar with the
tastes Of the theater's clientele, it Is MAX
ing a strong effort to win popular favor,
a fact which is emphasized in the ster-
ling bill Of the current week.
There are few dull moments in the en-
tertainment offered, unless it is in the
dog, cat and monkey circus, which has
the SANE old tricks of animals, differing
only in the comical stunts of the cats.
But four acts in the bill are Of stellar
proportions and deserve high praise. One
Of the best things is the little one-act
play presented by Mr.. and Mrs. Robyns.
The play is well conceived. It introduces
two talented players who have made no.
table successes in character parts, and
it is staged with all the attention to de-
tail that characterize metropolitan pro-
auctions. age =

Business, Not Politics.

The members of the state board of
equalization, who closed their labors
for 1905 today, have displayed a COM
mendable spirit, and have made a rec
ord in pleasant contrast with that of
1904. This has been largely due to the
desire manifest in both republicans and
democrats on the board, to avoid the
pitfalls Of a political division, and con-
slider everything on a business basis.
: The eighteen appointive members of the
board stood ten democrats to eight re-
publicans, and with the three state
officers who are e%x-oficio members,
the board stood eleven democrats to
ten republicans. Here was an oppor-
tunity for both sides to "play poll
tics,' but it seems to have been care
fully avoided for the most part.
. It was evidently the intention of the
democratic members to make an in
crease IN the public service corpora
tions. Some of the republican members
met them more than half way, and pro-
posed even higher figures han the ma

agree to-. Others were decidedly conser-
v~ative, but all showed a reasonable
spirit, and got together without much
difficulty.
The exact outcome of the board g
work has not been figured, but it is
evident that the states personal prop
erty assessment will show an increase,
altho the board reduced some livestock
n farm property, and permitted a
reduction in the assessment of goods
and merchandise, taking off some of the
heavy burden imposed last year by the
drastic actionaof the old board. These
reductions ~were%made up. ON other
classes better able to bear increased
taxes, and Hennepin county's assess.
! ment is likely to be three or-four mil
! lions higher than last year.
There are men on the board who have
a reputation for r~adicalism, but they
! showed good common sense in handling
the corporation question. Having
learned that most personal property
gets off with an assessment of 30 per
cent, they took that basis for assess
ing the public service companies. The
$10,O00,0O0 assessment on Twin City
will be generally regarded as a fair
increase, in view of the prosperity of
the cities and the strong financial con-
dition of the property. The board treat
ed it as a business proposition, and
not from the standpoint of the politi.
clan.
