II any charges are to be made against
a teacher, or one intending to teach,
they should be made openly, or at least
not by anonymous communication.
One thing more; promises OF political
support for official action Is the surest
means to induce any honest officer TO
do exactly contrary to what he is ask
ed. The man who would trade on the
functions Of his Office for political sup
port is dishonest rascal; and the per-
son who would ask him to do 50 is no

BANK OF MANITowoC.-By refer

will perceive that the bills of the Bank
of Manitowoc are again current in
Milwaukee and throughout the state.
1t is but justice to Mr.. Barnes to say
that it was from no fault of his that
his bills became deprecated, but
through the incapacity of our Repub-
lican officials at Madison. He has re-
deemed his bills heretofore as fast as
possible, and not dollar has been lost
by depositors. We rejoice that his
bank is now one of the safe institutions
of the state.

ITEMS FROM the PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

FROM THE WARS.-The First Wis.
consin Regiment, after serving three
months enlistment IN Virginia, ar.
rived at Milwaukee on Saturday, and
had an enthusiastic reception from the
citizens of that city.--Several young
men from this county were members OF
this Regiment, four of whom returned
here on Sunday, viz: George Waldo
and d. A. Shove of Manitowoc, and
La Fayette Smith and Horatio Price of
Mishicot. All came home in good
health except Mr.. Shove, who has been
on the sick list for three or four weeks.
He is not seriously i'll, and will doubt
less recover in few days.
We have not learned whether the
boys like the war we'll enough to re-
enlist or not; but understand they have
a strong antipathy to the innocent mig
gers who caused the trouble.

GETTING PUBLIC SENTIMENT

One OF the most interesting ana
promising movements of the times IS
that OF the National Economic
League, an organization little heard
of. with headquarters at Boston.
Prominent among its members are
Charles ]. Bonepart, David Starr Jor-
dan. Judge Peter Grosscup of Chi
cago. John d. Long, former Secre-
tary of the Navy, and Jacob Gould
Schurman, President Of Cornell Uni
vcrsity. Its purpose is to educate
the American people in social and
economic questions. /,
For the past year the league has
been making a poll OF public seriti-
mcnt among intelligent and disinter-
ested people to ascertain what ques-
tons are considered by the public to
be uppcrmost in Importance. More
than 1000 replies were received, and
the number of subjects appearing III
the poll was ffty-four. The six par
moun issues. however, come in this
order:
First-Direct legislation, including
direct primary nominations, initiative
referendum and recall, proportionatc
representation. etc.
Second-Inefficiency and delay il
the administration Of justice.
Third - Corporations; regulatio,
and control of.
Observation-Disclosures of power il
the Federal Government.
INSTRUMENTATION of national re
sources.
Sixth-The tariff.
1t is interesting to note that tn
problems Of organized labor, the pro-
Inns embraced by what is known a
socialism, unemployment, graft ii
politics and business, the race ques
ton and some others that many thinl
should be in the very forefront o
consideration, in this consensus com
far down the list. Possibly the rea
son is that many voters thought tn
others are more basic and il properl,
solved will do away with many O
the problems not given a place nea
the sop.
