A lively time over the question of
who shall get the capitol of Dakota
Territory, Bismarck or Yankton, was
brought to a close, for the present, by
Judge Edgerton, of the District Court,
holding that the commissioners who
located the capitol an illegal body, and
that the powers exercised by that
body were unlawful. The Bismarck
folks do not appear to be much troub
led by the decision, and are going
forward with the work ; and the commissioners-
will continue to act and
have full control. The question will
most likely be taken to the Supreme
court of the Territory, and from there
to the Supreme court of the United
State.

On Monday night about midnight,
the 10th inst, Prof. Swift, director of
the Warner Observatory, Rochester,
N. Y., discovered another comet in
the same constellation with the one
recently found by Prof. Brooks. It is
moving almost directly toward the
earth, and hence shows very little
motion, so that Prof. Swift found it
difficult to verify and was unable to
do so until last Saturday night. The
two comets will very likely cross
each other's orbits in their progress,
and their appearance so nearly to
gether, and within so short a space of
time is a most singular, if not a sig
nificant fact.

home on the lily until last fall, when
he disapeared, presumably in the
depths of the pot. He was not seen
or heard of nntil a few days ago, when
he re-appeared, bringing his wife with
him. Whether he evolved her from
the depths of his consciousness, or
whether he found her in the earth, Is
a problem that is puzzling the house
hold. The latest news from Hong Kong

bound train on the B. k M. from
Denver had one of his legs broken
just above the ankle. He had crawled
from the cross-bar upon the top of the
pilot where he was found, and it is a

What are Oar Pablic Scaeela
to DoT
Editor Journal : Some time ago
your.correspondent was asked by a
clergyman whether "ye pedagogues"
really knew what we were doing, and
whether we had any conception of the
scope and object of onr public schools.
I readily agree with my reverend
friend that nine-tenths of our ''School
marms" and "Professors" are men and
women of "small calibre," not at all
worthy to wear the proudest of all ti
tles, the title of teacher. But never
theless Rome of us do think, some of
us do seek after truth and know what
we are abont.
The following is an answer to the
duestion, "what are our public schools
to do ?" by R.' H. Holbrook, one of the
most progressive and independent
teachers in the United States.
"What are the public schools to do?
They are to serve mankind, not a
class. The public schools are to edu
cate the public; not the poor, not the
rich, but both poor and rich ; not
scholars, not sellers, not servers, but
scholars, sellers and servers. They
are not to raise, but to level all sec
tional walls. They are not to build
np aristocracies, but to merge the ties
of family and blood into those of hu
manity. They are not to breed clan
nishness and caste, but to awaken a
common sympathy and a cosmopolitan
sentiment. They are to take a bru
tish man and convert him into a hu
mane man. They are to release man
trom the domination of his grosser
self and put him unde r the influence
of his grander self. They are to
change the slave of every changing
passion and pausing impulse into a
free man, inspired by a majestic idea
of doty arising within his soul. They
are to reveal man to man. They are
to make man call every other man his
brother and claim
His fatherland must be
As the blue heavens, wide and free.
This is what our public schools are
to do. They arc not (o make scholars,
not to make merchant, not to make
farmers; but to so mould and mix the
elements of character iu overy pros
pective lawyer, merchant, mother,
that enters their doors that nature
might stand up and say to all the
world: Thin is a man, a woman, a
capable, a willing, a free individual.
There is the true mark of high calling
of the public schools. Should they
reach thi they could do no more, for
they have led to freedom."
Teacher.
