We cannot account for the non-appear
ance of the Saint Cloud JOURNAL last
week but after having looked for it in ne
less than a dozen business houses in the
city, and being unable to obtain one, have
come to the conclusion is was not issued,
orelsetheprorninentsof Saint Cloud are
not subscribers.—St. Cloud Press, Feb. 10.
After having a whole week to think the
thing over, the above ia the best reply the
Press is able to make to THE JOURNAL'S
challenge to compare circulations. It
claimed to have a larger circulation than
THE JOURNAL, but when met with a fair
proposition to test the matter, ilbaekssquart
down. Instead of doing this in a fair,
manly way, it does it sneakingly under the
above thin disguise. We do not blame the
publisher of the Press for not wanting to
expose to the public how his subscription
list has dwindled down to a few dozen sub
scribers—and even they seldom read the pa
per—but he should have the good sense to
keep quiet about it.

February had twenty-nine days, he would
add five minutes more to the recess and that

WELLS Co., OHIO, Feb. 8th, 1874.
EDITOR JOURNAL.—In your paper of
Jan. 20th, in a list of deaths for the year
there were two given as "natural." Will
you tell us the symptoms of such a death?
We "Buckeyes," even the M. D.'s. do not
know what a natural death is. (1) It would
be well also to state the reason for so great
a proportion by consumption. (2).
Yours with respect,
BUCKEYE
(1.) Deaths of this kind are very rare
and excite general remark. They are cal
led "natural" deaths because they note the
departure of people who think there is a
better place somewhere than Minnesot a and
it is perfectly "natural" that they should
want to die, as no such place is to be found
on this earthly sphere. Such deaths only
happen once or twice in many years. It is
not surprising that they are unknown to
the inhabitants and even the M. D.'s of
Ohio. In that State and in all the other
States except Minnesota the.people are all
anxious either to die or to move away, con
fident that, wherever they might land, it
could not be in a more disagreeable and un
comfortable place than the one they had
left.
(2.) Of the 232 deaths in 1875, 18 were
by consumption. This is, indeed, a large
proportion.* It is readily accounted for
however, from the fact that a great many
consumptive persons come to Minnesota
from other States each year, hoping to re
gain their health. Very many delay their
coming until everything else has been tried
and it is too late for even our climate to do
them any permanent good, and they soon
sink into the grave.

Those who are willing do so are requested

FRIDAY EVENING'S
MEETING.
SCHOOL MATTERS TALKED AT.
A O W N E A I N S O I E
Relief Brought Through Adjournment.
A call had been published for a school
meeting to be held at the Union building
Friday evening, and quite a number ef our
citizen* assembled there at he hour a
The meeting was called to order by
Prof. Haines, who nominated Mr. W. T.
Clarke for Chairman, and Mr.C. was elect
ed. Frank E. Searle was afterwards
elected Secretary.
Prof. Gray stated that the purpose for
which the meeting had been called was to
secure action by the Legislature in remedy
ing manifest defects in our present school
law.
The Rev. Mr. Campbell said that aa a
bill had already been introduced in the
Legislature looking toward the desired end,
he was of the opinion that the object for
which the meeting had been called was
likely to be subserved without any action
on its part and therefore moved to adjourn.
J. V. Brower read Senator Macdonald's
bill and inquired of the last speaker if he
was in favor of that bill.
Mr. Campbell said he had read the bill
but once and was not prepared to express
a positive opinion concerning it.
Mr. Brower urged the consideration and
discussion of the Bchool question.
Prof. Kiehle said that while the people
composing the meeting looked at the mat
ters involved in this question from differ
ent points of view, yet there was doubt
less a common ground upon which
all could meet and harmonize their dif
ferences. He would rather his children
should be instructed by a teacher of the
Catholic faith than by a teacher who be
lieved there was no God. He would have
morality taught in the schools.
Mr. Campbell explained the reasons
which had prompted him to make the mo
tion to adjourn. He thought that discus
sion could serve no good purpose, now that
the matter of revising the school law was
before the Legislature, and that he was
willing to trust our legislators to make
such changes AS were necessary]
The Rev. Mr. Klepper believed that
every man in the house was opposedtothe
Macdonald bill. He said that no preacher
or teacher should be allowed to teach any
particular church dogmas or doctrines, but
that pure morals should be taught. Let
the question be discussed fairly and can
didly.
Mr. Brower asked if a committee had
not been appointed at a meeting held some
days before to prepare resolutions to be
submitted to this meeting.
The following resolutions, prepared by
Mr. Campbell, the Chairman of that com
mittee, but considered by the committee
not to be necessary in view of the steps
toward legislation which had been taken,
were read by Mr. C:
WHEREAS The welfare of our State de
pends upon the efficiency of our public
school system, as affording the only means
of educating the masses of our people and
further, the legitimate object of that sys
tem being the thorough Americanizing of
all our people so as to prevent the forma
tion of classes or castes, or other distinct
ions based upon either religion or nation
ality therefore
Resolved, That we most respectfully and
earnestly commend to the attention of our
State Legislature, the present school law of
the State, as being in many respects so de
fective as to admit the greatest perversions
in its administration.
We would specially refer to these things:
1. Section 16 of Chap. 1, Title 1 of Gen.
Laws, opens wide a door for abuse by per
mitting instruction to be given in a foreign
language. This we claim to be far from
aiding in the work of Americanizing our
people, and as at present worded permits
the giving of sectarian religious instruction.
during school hours.
2. When such perversion doestoocnr that
law does not provide any method of redress
for the grievance.
It was evident in a moment that these
were not the resolutions that certain gen
tlemen had been looking for—that they
were lacking in theinflammatory anddenun
ciatory parts upon which thrilling speech
es had been prepared in reply. The pre
amble and the resolution were unanimous
ly adopted.
Item one drew out a rambling and al
most interminable discussion.
Mr. Brower and Mr. Porter made re
marks as to the meaning of the words "in
struction in" aforeign language, as found
in the school law—whether it meant teach
ing that language, or giving instruction in
the ordinary school branches in that lan
guage.
Prof. Kiehle opposed the item on ac
count of the indefiniteness of its language.
He was in favor of a striking out that part
of the section which gave permission to
give instruction in a foreign language.—
The people must be Americanized. Those
who come here should learn our language
and conform to our customs. This is not
narrow or illiberal unless it be narrow
and illiberal to be American. There is no
Americanizing of any people from a for
eign country until they learn the English
language. While Superintendent of Schools
in Fillmore county, where there was a large
Norwegian population, he required the
teachers to be thoroughly conversant with
the English language. This one hour law
made the work exceedingly difficult. In
telligent Norwegians asked that their chil
dren should be taught pure English and by
an English teacher.
Mr. Campbell explained that according
to his interpretation the law permitted that
instruction should be given in a foreign
language—not that that language should
be taught to those who wished to learn it.
The purpose of the resolution wastore
lieve the present law of all ambiguity, and
provide distinctly that foreign languages
should be taught in the schools.
Capt. West understood the law to mean
that American children could be taught
German or Norwegian in the public schools
and he was in favor of it.
H. C. Wait was satisfied with the law as
it stood, and thought its intent to betoal
low the teaching of a foreign language.
Mr Brower was in favor of striking out
section 16 entire.
Capt. West wanted German taught, and
the higher branches, so that boys all
through the country may prepare for the
State University.
Mr. Wait then favored repealing the en
tire section.
A multitude of substitutes, amendments
and what not were offered, the last being
by Mr. Campbell to so change section 16 as
that it should read "teach a foreign lan
guige" instead of "give instruction in a
foreign language."
Prof. Gray spoke as to the distinction be
tween the words as found in the law and as
given in the proposed amendment, and af
terwards gave strong reasons why the
teaching of any foreign language in the
public schools should be prohibited.
Mr. D. B. Searle was in favor of the
amendment being so worded as to allow
the teaching of all the foreign languages if
any at all were to be taught.
About this time Mr. N. F. Barnes made
a motiontoadjourn and it was unanimously
adopted—the meeting being precisely
Mr. Campbell made the same motion, which
it would have been the part of wisdom to
adopt

PROM THE TRUSTEES OP DISTICT NO. 3 4
ST. AUOUSTA, MINN., Feb. 15,1875.
EDITOR JOURNAL.—Having noticed in
your last issue a correspondence, signed by
Christian Block, Fianz Ziegenbein, Jacob
Wool and Christian Wakley, wherein these
gentlemen complain that school isnot kept
according to law that their children are
obliged against their will to listen to re
ligious instruction given by the priest
that they were compelled by the condition
of affairs, to send their children to a school
in Maine Prairie (35), where there is no
attempt madcto force Catholic or any other
religion on them and that priests come
into school, teach the Catholic doctrine, in
flict punishment upon the school children,
pulling their ears, etc, etc., we the under
signed trustees of said district feel ag
grieved at the course which these gentle
men have taken to misrepresent and falsi
fy the state of affairs and do not hesitate to
declare the whole a made up story and a
string of infernal lies. We challenge the
above named gentlemen at any time to
prove what they have said, and we are
ever willing and able to meet their false
accusations. Moreover have these persons
never paid a vist to our school, they do not
even belong to our district (#4) only Jacob
Wool and John Kopp, have no business
in it and we really do not see any reason
wherefore they have dared to attach their
names to an article which is so false of
venomous lies, if it were not to awaken an
ill feeling among our peaceful people.

and 36 (termed Mary's and St. Wendel's
Church Districts.) That the priests of the
churches in those districts have control of
the teachers, and are in school half of the
time, teaching Catholic doctrines, and even
inflicting corporal punishment upon the
pupils, etc.
New, Mr. Editor, in reply to these base
and malignant falsehoods, I wish to state
the following facts:
First That I have taught the district
school of district No. 34 since the time of
its formation in 1860, and am well aware
of the condition of the school.
Second. That at no time in the history
of the school, have Catholic doctrines ever
been taught in said school during school
hours. And that no priest or priests have
ever had control of either the school or
management of it.
Third. That the school is seldom visited
by a priest oftener than once in three
months, and that at such visits no priest
has ever conducted religious or other in
struction, either during or after school
hours in the school house of the district.
In conclusion I call upon the signers of
the so called "St. Augusta letter" to either
come forward and prove their assertions or
acknowledge by their silence the falsity of
their statements.
Respectfully yours,
HENRY KREBS,
Teacher of School Dist. No. 34.
FROM TH E TEACHER AND TRUSTEES OF
DISTRICT NO. 36
To tht Editor of the Journal.
We the undersigned Trustees and Teach
er of school district No. 36, feel ourselves
offended by the false statements in your
issue of the 10th inst. against the manage
ment of our school.
We hereby state and certify that the
school hours appointed, that is from 9 a.
m. to 12 m. and from 1 to 4 p. m. are em-Tuesday
ployed in no other way, than as required
by law, and no religious doctrine has ever
been tanght during this time. After the
time appointed for school, religions doc
trine may- be taught. But no child has
ever been obliged to attend longer than the
appointed sehool time. Further, it is
stated that the priest controls the school
and teacher. We must say that no priest
ever interfered with our school manage
ment, and so everything stated is mere
falsehood. We suppose that these gentle
men want to have something to say, be
cause others make a big noise. We would
advise these gentlemen to come out with
the truth and leave falsehood aside.
It is easy to make a statement but to
prove it, that's another thing.
Togive these gentlemen perfect satisfac
tion, we here appoint the 22d day of
February, 1876, at S o'clock p. m. at the
school house, as the time when and where
you or they can personally substantiate
the truth of the statements made, we
promising to prove the entire falseness of
the charges,

FROM THE PRIEST.
ST.PAUL, Feb. 15,1876.
lo the Editor of the St. Cloud Journal
We notice in your issue of the 10th inst.
"A complaint from St. Augusta," preceded
by the query, "What is done in the public,
schools there The complaint as there
placed, lacks to say the least, much discre
tion and necessary restrictions. I don't in
tend to argue against the nature of the
complaints, hie et nunc, I simply look upon
the fact, there ascertained. I am far from
asserting that the gentlemen undersigned
found no foundation at all for complaints,
this present season, in quarters where they
were so anxious to find them. What I wish
the public to be told, by your journal is
this: Neither the men owning the com
plaint by their signatures nor any other
man, is able to prove, that during the four
years, ending last October, when I was
called to take charge of a congregation in
St. Paul, after having been pastor of St.
Augusta and St. Wendelin, I occupied a
single minute of the public school hours
in teaching catechism. No, not once dur
ing the four years have I visited the pub
lic schools of districts situated in the par
ishes named, with the least intention of
imparting religious instructions to the
children. It is tbn church where I instruct
ed the children ininwi-d u. ray charge and
not any public *chooi i- ding.
As to what the gentlemen confess to be
lieve about the priests controling teachers
against the law of our State, is not worth
noticing, butstrange it is, indeed, that these
philanthropist*,who aresoeagerly endeavor
ing to ameliorate the condition of their
fellow citizens, by averting the consequen
ces of practices which they consider dan
gerous, forget themselves so far as to ac
cuse others who are citizens as well as they
themselves, of transgressing the laws of the
State, in so grievous an instance. Until
they either prove or retract, they stand be
fore the public as calumniators,

ASSESSMENTS
O
MELROSE, Feb. 12, 1876.
EDITOR JOURNAL.—The present session
of our Legislature will soon be at an end,
and the country ready to reap the harvest
of its wisdom, if any there be.
What the country, and especially the
farming part of it, demands of its repre
sentatives is to be protected against any
further injustice of a State equalization
such as that of 1874, when the Board
raised the value of farms in some localities
120 per cent, above the original assessment
but thought proper to not raise the assess
ment of real esinte of villages, even if
such village* were included in the same as
sessor's district. The result is, that village
real estate in some portions is worth from
two to five hundred per cent over its as
sessed value and farm property is worth
one-half of its valuation, as valued by the
State board—facts easy for your corres
pondent to prove. Sensible farmers do not
protest against fair and equal taxation.—
They know that the current expenses of
the government must be paid in State and
county, and they will gladly bear their
share of the burden, but they demand that
every individual possessed of taxable prop
erty shall take a just part of the expense.
The present limited powers of town and
city boards of review and the unlimited au
thority of county and State boards of equal
ization are not satisfactory. Friendship,
wealth and other influences secure of the
county board deductions of assessment or
abatement of tax already levied. The au
thority of county and State boards of equal
ization to raise the valuation of taxable
property to an unlimited extent above the
aggregate value of the assessment, as val
ued by the assessors in the county or State,
imposes on the right of the people, and
according to Webster seems contrary to
the meaning of the word "equalization."
Who can presume to know the real value
in equity of property, personal or real,
better than the asssessors and city or town
boards The equalization ought tobe done
by the local authority, and as nearly as pos
sible, the organization and duty of boards
of equalization should be as follows:
Town, city, county and State boards of
equalization properly established should
have limited and equal power to equalize
within the assessed aggregate values, as
valued by the assessors. The town and
city boards between the several individuals
in their assessors' district. The county
board between the several towns in the
county, and the State board between the
several countiesin the State, with no au
thority for either to raise the aggregate vaL
uation of the assessors above one per
centum. Appeal should be allowed,
but the board from whose decision the ap
peal is taken should be heard thereat.—
The county board should not raise or re
duce the value of property between indi
viduals, neither should the State board
raise or reduce the value of property be
tween individuals or towns, except by ap
peal as before stated.
Pursuant to tax laws, Section 96, Chap
ter l. |General Laws of 1874, and Section
139 as amended by Section 37, Chapter 5,
General Laws 1875, the interest on taxes
which become delinquent, being two per
cent, per is appropriated to the
county fund. This is unjust and ought to
be changed. The interest should be added
to such fund as it belongs to. Town and
school districts are by law declared to be
each a "body corporate." Then by what
good reason are they deprived of the in
terest on their own funds?
I will add that every person should be
entitled to a deduction of his liabilities and
should not be liable to pay tax for what he
does not own.
With much respect,
AUG. LINDBERGH.

—The (school) meeting can only be re
girded as a grand fizzle-out of the parties
inaugurating the war on the new school
district.—Times.
To make war on the new district or on
any other district had not been any part of
the purpose of those interested in calling
the meeting. The practices which had ob
tained in the new district had shown the
necessity for some general legislation which
would protect the people all through the
State against the encroachments of religious
sects upon the public schools. Special or
local legislation had not been thought of as
a remedy for the evident imperfections of
the school law.
—Minnesota should extend at an ear
ly day the St. Paul A Pacific road across

it a so
People sometimes suppose that Dr.
Pierce's Family Medicines represent the
entire extent of his resources for curing
disease. This isan error. Experiences
proved that while the Golden Medical Dis
covery, Favorite Prescription, Pleasant
Purgative Pellets, Compound Extract of
Smart-Weed, and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy, would, if faithfully u«ed, cure a large
variety of chronic complaints, there would
be here and there a case which, from its
severity, or from its complication with oth
er disorders, would resist their action.
These exceptional cases require a thorough
examination into their symptoms, to ascer
tain the exact nature and extent of the dis
ease or diseases under which the patient
was laboring, and the use of specific reme
dies to meet and overcome the same. This
led to the establishment of the World's
Dispensary, at Buffalo, N. Y., with its Fac
ulty of Physicians and Surgeons, each
of whom is skilled in the treatment of
chronic disorders in general and ihowo be
longing to his own special department in
particular. To' one is assigned diseases of
the throat and lungs to another diseases
of the kidneys and urogenital organs to
another, diseases of the digestive system
to another, diseases of the nervous system
and to another diseases of the eye and ear.
Thus is the highest degree of perfection in
medicine and surgery attained. The estab
lishment of this institution enables the
Doctor to meet a long-felt want in the
treatment of the more severe chronic affec
tions. By a careful consideration of the
symptoms as given in writing, he success
fully treats thousands of cases at their
homes. Others visit the Dispensary in
person. The amplest resources for the
treatment of lingering affections are thus
placed at the disposal of every patient, and
those on whom the proprietary medicines
do not have the desired effect can procure
a more thorough and efficient courseaby a
personai application to the proprietor of
the World's Dispensary.
