Compulsory Education. .
We learn with surprise from the
Pcranton Truth thafcertain "shallow"
"cranks," who, among other things, are
guilty of "cowardice" and "Impudence,"
ore, by the use of "absurd" arguments,
urging the Pennsylvania legislature to
puss a "pestiferous," "obnoxious," "un
American" and "narrow-minded'! bill
discriminating against "poor families
and widows who are supported by the
labor of their growing boys." Our con
temporary thus refers, if we Interpret
Its words correctly, to the Furr compul
sory education bill, concerning which it
also says:
If some of the compulsory education
schemes now before the house at Harrls
burg should by any misfortune become
law, the Increase In school-building would
have to be supplemented with an Increase
In poorhouse building for the accommoda
tion of fathers who have been crippled
for life In the mines trying to support
their little ones; widows who have lost
their husbands at the same perilous call
ing, and younger children who are sup
ported by their sturdy brothers.
,We take no Btoek In the absurd argument
advanced by the shallow advocates of
compulsory education. Their assumption
Is as Impudent as their logic Is lume,
and If their policy should prevail It will
soon be time to revive the curfew law
end start a thumb-screw factory.
Before replying to the Scranton
Truth we wish to present an abstract
of the Fai r bill. That measure provides
that those having control of a child or
clhlldren parent guardlun, or other
person between the ages of 8 and 12
Sears shall be required, unless excused
tiy the school board for mental, physi
cal or other causes, to send such child
or children at least sixteen weeks each
year to a school public, private or
parochial In which the common Eng
lish brandies -are taught. "If there 13
no such school within two miles, the
requirement ils waived. A fine of $2 for
the first violation and not exceeding $j
for subsequent violations is the penalty
of conviction before a regular justice
of the peace or alderman, but the de
fendant may, upon easy terms, appeal
to the county courts. Provision Is made
for the annual enumeration of all child
ren between the ages of 8 and 12 years,
and for the discovery of those whose
parents or guardians come within the
law. Then follows this section, which
me reprint entire:
It shall be the duty of each teacher In
the school district to report to the secre
tary of the board of directors or control-
lets, at the end of each month, the names
of alt children on the list previously fur
nished by the secretury who were absent
without satisfactory cause for live suc
cessive days during the month for which
the report shall be made, when. If It shall
mppear that any parent, guardian or
other person having control of any child
or children, shall have failed to comply
with the provisions of this act after due
notification In writing, the secretary, in
the name of the, school district, shall pro
ceed against the offending party or par
ties. In accordance with law, by complaint
before any alderman or Justice of the
peace. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE
AFORESAID PENALTY SHALL NOT
BE IMPOSED IK IT SHALL HE SATIS
FACTORILY PROVED TPON THE
TRIAL OF THE CASE THAT THE
PA RENT, GUARDIAN OR OTHER
PERSON BO NEGLECTING WAS I'N
AHLE, HY REASON OF POVERTY
OR OTHER SATISFACTORY EX
Cl'SR TO COMPLY WITH THE RE
QUIREMENTS OF THIS ACT; PRO
VIDED FURTHER, THAT IF SUF
FICIENT CAUSE BE SHOWN FOR
THE NEGLECT OF THE REQUIRE
MENTS OF THIS ACT THE COST OF
SAID PROCEEDINGS SHALL HE PAID
OUT OF THE! DISTRIST FUNDS UPON
A PROPER VOUCHER APPROVED RY
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR CON
D'ROLLERS. In other words, any parent or guar-
Dlan whose personal need la superior
(to the intellectual and moral need of
tils children can be excused from the
openationH of this act, without costing
Jilm one copper penny.
We come now to the Soranton Truth.
!We beg to say, at once, that we shall
Hot try to parallel Its epithets. The
Question can be discussed Impersonally
end patiently, and we stwitl try thus to
discuss It. We believe a perusal of the
Farr bill, ns we have just outlined Its
fsense and methods, will convince the
unbiased reader that, there is nothing
In that bill calculated to cause "an In
crease In poor house building." Upon
ithe contrary, after the Fair law should
lhave received honest enforcement for
one generation, we believe that poor-
(house building In Pennsylvania would
idecrease, by reason of the enlarged
; ability of now Ignorant boys and girls
to earn a livelihood and thus not bo
come publlo charges. The "liberties"
pf parents and guardians would be en
croached upon, by ithla bill, to the ex
tent 'that parents and guardians able
to educate their children refuse to do
so, desiring rather to profit by the
self-sacrificing Industry of those chil
dren. It la the right of tall children to
be we'll equipped, by eduoatlon, for the
battle of life; the state. In recognition
of that right, compulsorlly taxes every
adult male citizen, whether a parent or
not, to support public schools. Shall
parental Indifference, .masking behind
a false ory of "sacred parental privi
leges," be permitted to throw out, upon
the care of society, a disturbing factor
of Ignorant young men and women
w.hose rights to an equal. chance in life,
have been meanly and Hellishly over
looked? The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
thinks It "should not be a thing Im
possible for congress and the adminis
tration to place the currency of the
country upon a safe and stable basis.
If It was possible for John Sherman, as
secretary of the treasury, to devise
a plan for changing from a paper to
a Coin basis, after specie payments had
been suspended for seventeen years,
the lighter task of keeping the cur
rency ut a parity with coin should be
well within the range of possibility."
Hut, you see, John Sherman was differ
ent from John O. Carlisle; and the
party behind him was also different
decidedly different from the party be
hind Carlisle, if Indeed there is any
party behind him. The best thing that
thlsndmlnlstratlon could do, it seems to
us, would be to negotiate a new bond
sale If needed to meet current expenses;
adjourn congress and put their trust
in Providence and Tom Reed.
tile Grand Jury System.
Various attempts have been made at
different times to argue the American
people out of their profound reverence
for effete traditions of the law; but the
progress made In the direction of sim
plicity and reform has not yet attained
startling velocity. Another effort is
soon to be made in this state to cleanse
the phraseology of our statute books
of Its redundant verbiage; but its suc
cess at this time is, doubtful,, tu ,vew of
the fact that people as a rule' accept
their law In whatever form pleases
those who make it. . ,j,.
It may not be uninteresting. In this
connection, to notice thjjffurt of cer
tain Illinois reformers abolish the
grund jury system. The Chicago Her
ald, which earnestly champions this
proposition, recalls the fact that Con
necticut abolished it nearly seventy
years ago with sjieot to all crimes
when the punishment was not death or
Imprisonment for life. In effect only
murder cases are cognizable by a grand
jury in that state. In 18"i0 the question
was raised in the constitutional conven
tion of Michigan, and In the constitu
tion adopted no provision was made for
a grand jury. It was not abolished in
terms, but it was not recognized. The
legislature subsequently provided that
grand juries should not be summoned
and impaneled unless the judge of the
circuit court directed it to be done. In
Wisconsin the judges of the circuit
court may dispense with the grand Jury
by notifying the clerk to that effect
fifteen days before the term of court
begins. Under this state of the laws
grand juries in Michigan and Wiscon
sin are practically unknown, and all
criminal proceedings are by informa
tion filed by the prosecuting attorney.
The Herald wants to know why this
system should not obtain in Illinois
nnd remarks, apropos, that "It Is less
oppressive, less expensive and more
certain. It does away with , all star
chamber processes und affords no am
buscade for secret enemies. It is open
and above board. If a crime Is com
mitted nil that Is necessary to do Is to
bring the evidence ' of it before the
state's attorney. If he is convinced
that there Is probable cause for the
holding of the' person accused he files
in court what Is called an 'Informa
tion,' which In terms Is the same as an
Indictment. In otUw words, It is the
formal accusation of the crime, Upon
this information the party Is tried, 'as
he would be on an Indictment. The
state's attorney is thus made the re
sponsible accuser, and 'fill the cum
bersome and expensive Inachinery of
the grand jury Is dona away with. As
an Institution the grand Jusy ls, un
known In Germany. France-arid' Scot
land. Popular Ubertywttli us 'has out
grown It and it should now be abol
ished." ' '
The only constitutional authority for
a grand jury In Peiiasylvnnials found.
in section 6 of the declaration of rights,
which says that "trial by jury shall bo
as heretofore." It Is exceeedlngly
doubtful If this means that the grand
Jury system could no be abolished or
greatly modified by act of legislature.
The Philadelphia Record well soys:
If the voters of all the purtles ahould
follow the simple rule of voting for the
best man at the prlmnrles when candi
dates for municipal offices are selected,
and then,' without regard to political
Inclining, vote for the best man put In
nomination by either of the parties, the
most valuable results would surely fol
low. There Is no politics In the proper
conduct of municipal affairs, and there
should "be no politics In the selection of
municipal officers." The same Idea la
also expressed by the social Journal
To-Day, when It observes that "local
government Is largely a business mnt-
ter and requires business abilities, In
tegrlty and promptness In affairs,
rather than partisan zeal and skill In
bossing voters. Parties corrupt so
easily and learn the tricks of the dema
gogues so readily that it Is casting
pearls before swine to Intrust them
with the business Interests of towns
and cities. There 1b scarcely a greater
lesson for the American citizen of to
day than this. Divorce local govern
ment from politics." Are the voters of
Bcranton prepared to learn this lesson?
The recent marked subsidence of con
gressional clamor In behalf of the Nica
ragua canal Is attributed by one wicked
Washington correspondent to the Bup
position that "congress has drifted
away from the (base of supplies end
that there has been an Interruption in
the forward movement of rations."
This, of course, Is a gentle circumlo
cution equivalent to the assertion that
there Is no longer "anything In It" for
the Jingo statesmen who want Uncle
Sam to enrich a bankrupt corporation
by. Indorsing Its .worthless bonds. A
knowledge, of how the Panama "Job'
was "floated" In France becomes valu
able la this Nicaragua case, assuming
that human nature is the same in
Washington as it was, upon a time, in
Paris.
The appointment of ex-Umpire Mc-
Glnnls to a lucrative position at Harris
burg will prove a source of satisfaction
to Scranton lovers of the national game.
In his official capacity on the ball
ground Mr. McGlnnls seldom exhibited
those disagreeable traits of character
that at times make the average umpire
unpopular on the bleaching boards and
was never known to roast the homo
club on close decisions. There is no
question that the ex-umpire will prove
a faithful and efficient representative
of Scranton's Interests in the pasting
and folding department.
Friends of the young Pittsburg bi
cyclist who attempted to girdle the
earth with his wheel are now organiz
ing a searching party to look for his
remains. It would seem that consider
able expense might be spared If friends
of persons who Insist upon embarking
In foolhardy enterprise would use pre
caution enough to have the amateur
travelers confined In proper institu
tions at the first symptom of the globe
trotting mania.
General Lew Wullace has recently
been lecturing upon Turkey with the
evident idea of converting A'merican
audiences to the belief that the Sultan
is a grand old mun, and thut the. aver
age Mohammedan who carries an ar
senal about his person daily is as harm
less as a guinea pig. It Is feared that
the general's eloquence will not be
equal to the task of changing public
sentiment upon the Turkish question.
The Hudson river Ice crop is in dan
ger, It Is said; the Florida orange crop
has been ruined, and the Delaware
peach crop Is expected to fail with its
usual regularity a few days hence. In
spite of these announcements it Is prob
able that the shortage of the dollar
crop will prove the most serious ob
stacle to the enjoyment of these lux
uries in their proper season.

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Representative l.ytle's Churgcs.
Lancaster New Era: "We have no
means at hand to verify the charges of
Representative Lytic, except In a single
Instance. He comes to this county for
some of his figures and arguments and
blunders ut a terrific rate. He alleges
thut Lancaster county last year expended
$."4,11110 on school books, of which sum
$IU,IHJU was clear profit to the trust. That
looks bad. Hut what are the facts? We
have ascertained from the records thut
Lancaster county's expenditure for school
text books last year wus exactly $38,121. 15.
Just how the trust can huve made $40,000
off a $:u,121.i:j bill of books Mr. Lytle can
perhaps explain by a peculiar system of
bookkeeping of his own. Wo admit we
are unequal to the task. That there
should be something like a uniformity in
prices Is conceded, freight charges being
consldred, but before the seemingly wild
charges of Mr. Lytic are admitted utter
ly wild, misleading and unreliable so far
as Lancaster county Is concerned we
ought to havo some proof that the facts
are as stated and that the trust Is respon
sible. Hut perhaps the animus of It all
muy bo found In Representative Lytle's
scheme for the state to go Into tho trust
business Itself. Ho wants It to open a
huge publishing house of Its own; employ
permanently a board of text book makers
to prepare the text books to be used in
the state. Tho plan would result In inef
ficient text books, a regulur corps of liter
ary men employed at big prices, scheming,
manoeuverlng, fraud beyond all computa
tion, political wire pulling and all the
other species of rascality that can be Im
agined. It would be far more expensive
than the present plan and In every way
less desirable. First of all, however, It Is
Incumbent on Representative Lytle to re
vise his statements and give us facts In
stead of fiction."
Relief for the Supreme Court.
Philadelphia Press: "That our sate su
preme court needs relief from the over
pressure of business upon It Is not dis
puted. Among the cases handed down by
tho supreme court on Monday is French
Creek vs. Moore, In which the amount In
volved Is $19.ii0. No Important end was
Kalned by having this case go before tho
supremo court. Last year this court
heard nnd decided K0U enses, In fully one
third of which less than $"i(X) wus at stake.
The court has now reached the limit of
physical endurance. Many of these cases
are carried up to the supreme court by
lawyers Intent on making fees for them
selves or on winning their clients' cases,
not on their merit but by the process of
wearying the patience and exhuustlng'the
purses of their opponents beforo the Inst
judgment In their fuvor can bo rendered.
A crowded supreme court docket on which
cases linger until mildewed with age Is
just what Riieh pettifoggers like best.
No appealable suit can bo finally won un
der such conditions, except after long
waiting, though the right of the suitor bo
as clear as noonday. Tho evil suggests
Its own remedy. Shut off these pettifog
gers. Let small cases Involving no const!
tutional question and less than $1,000 be
heard and determined in an Intermediate
court of appeals, unless for special rea
sons shown a rehearing Is allowed In the
supreme court. Such Intermediate court
calls for the creation of no new Judges.but
for the utilization of the common pleas
Judges. It Is a plan favored and offered
by Governor Paulson and offers the su
premo court the relief It needs with the
least disturbance of the present judicial
system of the state.
Tor Honest Ilnllot Reform.
Norrlstown Herald: "Tho necessary
amendments to secure honest ballot re
form have been prepared and will
be submitted to the legislature. They
provide that the name of each candldnte
whom tho voter prefers shall be Indicated
by a mark after his name, except In the
case of presidential electors, where a
single mark designates the whole group;
and also that proper safeguards shall be
thrown around the matter of assistance.
the voter being required to make oath or
affirmation of disability In order to obtain
aid, and the helper to bind himself not to
attempt to Influence such voter or to dis
close how he voted.' While changes in the
manner of voting are to bo -deprecated as
a rule, these amendments appear to be
necessary and they will no doubt com
mund the approbation of a majority of
tho legislature as they do of the voting
public without reference to party predi
lections." favors Compulsory Education.
Carhondalb London "So far as the
Leader knows, Governor-elect Hastings
has nover given public expression regard
Ing compulsory education. In his speech
In this city he alluded to the school! as
distinctively American Institutions and
productive of tho best class of American
citizens. He doubtless go spoke of them
In other cities, At any rate the conclu
ion has been drawn that General Hast
ings Is In favor of utilizing our schools to
mako citizens, and that he will, in conse
quence, be in favor of a law that will
bring about such a result. The Leader
hopes (hat this conclusion bos been well
drawn."
Remedy Worse Than the Disease.
Carbondale Anthracite: "Representa
tive Lytle would destroy the school book
trust only to create a much worse one by
having the state go Into the school book
supply business. If the directors are im
posed upon by tho present arrangement,
the state would be buncoed out of much
more money If the school books were fur
nished by some state department.'
Reason Apparent.
From the Cleveland Leader.
"What won't these women do next,
'Smanthy? What's nil this talk about
umbrella skirts?"
"I never did see a man yet, Silos, that
didn't make a fool of hlsself when he
took to tulkin' ubout wimln's fixln's
Common sense ought to have told you
they raised them skirts when it rains."
Not Necessarily an Indorsement.
From the Philadelphia Record.
It Is the privilege of the buyer of news
paper publicity for his business to speak
In whatever terms he may please of him
self or of his wares: but no man should
be deceived by tho pretense that the pald
for advertisement reflects the view of the

Already Has a l evel Head,
From the Anthracite.
The Scranton trump thinks It Is much
more comfortable In the Lackawanna
jail than out In the winter's cold breaking
Btones. Whatever other deficiencies the
Scranton trump may possess, It cannot be
churged that he needs a level head.

The pure food exposition at the armory
Is a great success. Crowds throng the

From the Chicago Record.
Mr. Inglesby Is Miss Gayburd really

Mrs. Muynewright She must be. All
her girl friends hato her furiously.

"Threw her away, sir. Literally threw
