"TIME. '
(The following extract from an article
wrii ten for the CITtZHS, three years ago is,
we Wink, worth repeating.)
The Christian Era is dated from the Ist
of Jannary of tne year in which Christ was
born; and January was made the first
month of the Roman calendar, probably
because it was the first month of their
Spring time. In northern Italy, tor many
oenturieft after the fall of the Rom in Em
pire, the year was made to begin on March
35 th, the day of the Annunciation, and in
France as late as the middle of the 16th
century the ;ear began with Easter. In
England for several ceuiunes the year
began with Christmas, aud in parts of Scot
land the first of January is yet celebrated
fatJ hnstmas.
In the Scisdinavian peninsula the re
turn of the Sun was cels 1 by the
great yule least, and when missiouaiies of
the Christian religion penetrated those
regions they engrafted the Christiau Christ
mas on that feast,
In England in the 12th century the prac
tice was to begin the year on the 25th of
March, and that practice prevailed till
Parliament in 1751 directed that tne year
1752 shonld be reckoned trom the Ist of
Jannary, and the same day is now the be
ginning of the year in all Christian coun
tries, excepting Russia.
When the Romans of the time Julius
Caesar remodeled their calendar, they
knew nothing of the spherical form of the
Earth, or of its revolution aronud the Sun.
and yet by some means they measured a
year to within a few minutes of its correct
time, and established a year of 365 days
etery fourth year to have 366, aud give
the months the same number of days they
■till have.
The Roman oalendar was so perfect that
it was adopted by the Christian nations,
bat in 1582 A. D the slight error of 11
minutes and 10 seconds a year, had a
mounted to about ten complete days, and
Pope Gregory XIII ordained that ten days
should be deducted from October of that
year, and that every hundredth year shonld
not be a leap year, excepting every 400 th,
beginning with the year 2000 A. D., and in
this way the difference between the natural
and oivil years will not amount to a day
in 5,000 years.
This change was objected to by some of
the Protestaat nations, but was finally
adopted by all the nations of Europe, ex
cepting the Rnssian, which yet adheres
to the old style, and as the error now
amounts to twelve days, their calendar w
that many days wrong.
A meridian of this Earth will return un
der r fixed star in a few minutes less than
twenty-four of our honrs, but as the Earth,
besides turning on its axis, is also rolling
around the San and iu the same direction
it has to turn those few minutes longer to
agaia bring that meridian under the
centre of the Sun, and thus it is that in a
year of 365 days the Earth actually turns
on its axis 366 times.
The orbit of the Earth, also, is not a
eirole, but an ellipse and therefore there
is a slight differenowin the intervals be
tween the return ot a meridian under the
centre of the Sun, and the time we use in
our clocks and watches is th e average of
these intervals, called mean time to dis
tinguish it from sun, sidereal and other
timet, and that interval we divide into a
day of twenty-four hours.
PBESIDRKT CLEVELAND is said to be writ
ing a message commanding the Democrat
ic Congress to devise patriotio aud unparti
ian financial legistation; otherwise he will
call an extra session of Congress after this
one adjourns in March.
The Lexow Investigation.
The session of the Lexow Police Invest
igating committee came to an end last Sat
urday with the testimony of Superintend'
ent of Police Byrnes and the surprising
announcement by him that he bad tender
•d his resignation to Mayor-elect Strong,
to take effect on or aov time after January
1, 1895. In bis letter to Mr. Stro.jg, the
superintendent offers his aid and advice
to the new administration in anything
pertaining to the polioe department.
Chairman Lexow received a letter from
Anthony Comstock, president of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Vice, protest
ing that he had never accepted a bribe, as
testified before the committee, and point
ing out his creditable record for the past
23 years. Mr. Lexow, however, would
not read the letter to the committee.
Snpt. Byrnes went to police headquarters
Sunday morning and spent four hours
packing his private papers, to be removed
in the event ol the acceptance of his request
to be retired. Regret at Mr. Byrnes'*
probable departure seems completely over
shadowed by curiosity as to where a com
petent successor could be found. Inspect
. or Conlin is the next officer in rank to the
superintendent. He enjoys the distinct
ion of being the only inspector unsmirch
ed by the testimony before the Lexow
Committee.
A Christmas Entertainment.
Christmas services %ere conducted by
Rev. N. Scheffer in the Evangelical Luth
eran Church, West L'bmy, on Christins*
day and notwithstanding the unfavorable
condition of the roads, a goodly number
were present, and the performances proved
to be very interesting. Praise is due Mrs
Nicholas Weitsel aud Mrs.Martin|(.'roll for
the beautiful decorations ot the churcb,
evergreen wreaths and flowsrs were placed
in every available part of the building.
The programme was well rendered, con
sisting of recitations by Louie, Gertie,
Marj aud Orpha Croll, Surah Sanderson,
Nellie Koch, Maggie Doerr, Maggie Staff.
Edith Dt'limau. Lmda McDevitt. Clarence
and Doerr, Herbert Cramppee, Rur.
ton Koch, and Panl Croll. The programme
was interposed with Christmas Hymns and
Can-is. Miss Sadie Crumppee presiding at
the organ. Then followed Rrv. Scheffer's
farewell address; after which the members
oftheSnnday School received a liberal
treat ol candy, oranges, etc.
At the conclusion of the services, iu a
neat and impressive speech. Miss Nellie
Koch in behalf of the congregation pre
sented the pastor with a purse to which
he responded in touching words.
After the singing of the Doxology all de
parted feeling that the day bad been proli
tably spent. It was Rev. Sobeffir's last
services In the West Liberty church, as be
ba» been called to another cbxrge, and it
was with regret that the members bade
bim good-bye. as he was a faithful minis
ter and the chnrch prospered uuder bis
pharge.
Meeting of the State Legislature.
The features jf Monday were the hold
ing of cancases, and tho meetings of the
slate committees.
The Republican house caucus was called
to order by George Kunkel of Dauphin,
and Jerome B.Niles of Tioga wai elected as
chairman. In taking the chair, Mr. Nile*
made a short speeech referring to the pop
ular repadiatiou of Democratic blunders
and incompetency and the magnificent
Republican majority in Pennsylvania
which has made the legislature almost
solidly Republican.
Emerson Collin* pat the names ot B. K
Focht of Union, W. 0. Smith of Jefferson
and A. N. Pomeroy in nomination tor
secretaries and the gentlemen were elect
ed without opposition.
Henry P James of Venango presented
the name of Henry P. Walton of Phila
delphia for speaker in a neat speech, in
which he referred to him as the unani
mous choice of the members of the house
for this session. Mr. James referred to
the popularity of Speaker Boyer of the
session of 1887 and 1889, and of Speaker
Thompson of the session ot 1891 and 1893,
and said he believed Mr. Walton was as
popular as capable, and would be esteem
ed as highly as either of the two gentle
men named.
Walton's nomination was seconded by
Courtlandt K. Bolles and William F.
Stewart of Philadelphia, and he was then
made 'he unanimous choice of the caucus.
Mr. Walton simply thanked the caacus
and said he would make his speech next
day.
Lytle of Huntington then offered the
resolution for tfee slate committee ot thir
ty, one from each congressional district,
which was agreed to and Chairman Niles
read the list. The Western Pennsylvania
members are Culbertson and Mueblbron
ner of Allegheny; Lytle of Huntington,
chairman; J. C. Stineman of Cambria, S.
D. Murphy of Westmoreland, D M. An
derson of Washington, A. L. Martin ot
Lawrence, John B. Compton of Crawford,
Henry F. James of Venango, John H
Patchin of Clearfield. J. Mcß. Rublt ot
Allegheny was appointed as one ot the
members at large. The committee met
at once, organized and selected a sub
committee of nine to prepare the slata.
Tne senate slate committee became tan
gled over the clerkships. Mr. Thorpe's
candidacy for j mrnal clerk beiug tne
chief disturbing element. For a time it
was thought Mr. Carson might bo ontsed
as reading clerk. One of the arguiients
against him was that Robinson of Batler
is to be appointed superintendent of pub
lic printing by Gov. Hastings, but it was
finally decided that Catson should re
main.
The senate slate oriucipal positions
stood this way: Chief clerk, E. W. Smiley
of Venango; reading clerk, James M. Car
son, Butler; journal clerk, Robert Youug
Philadelphia; message clerk, W. J. Rob
inson Erie; executive clerk, C. R- Tbrope
Mercer; sergeant-at-arins, James Harragb,
Beaver; assistant sergant-at arms, R. W.
Greenman, Philadelphia; superintendent
of folding room, James Riley, of Phila
delphia. Hon. S. M. Lafl?rty will be
appointed jauitor of the cloak room. The
others chosen for places are: Doorkeeper
A. C. Little of Jefferson; assistant door
keeper, Levi Knott of Blair; postmaster,
John W. Seiders, Fraukliu; chaplain, Rev
W. L. Bordens of the Tabernacle Baptist
church, Harrisburg; transcribing clerks,
Edward Milliken of Allegheny aud F. C
Crago of Greene.
Both branches met and organized at
noon of Tuesday.
The senate was called to order by Lieut
Governor Watres aud the house by Chiel
Clerk Yoorbees. Prayer was offered in
the senate by tne new chaplain, Rnv Bar
dens and in the house tiy the chaplain,
Rev. Dr. B. B. Hamlin. The deputy
secretary of the commonwealth at once
presented to the senate the returns ot
election tor Governor, lieutenant governor,
auditor general and secretary of internal
affairs, with the decision of the court in
the contested election ca*e of Senator E.
H. Laubach. To the house he presented
the sealed returns ol the election which
were read by the retiring reading clerk,
Jere B. Rex.
After the reading of the returns, Judge
Simouton administered the Joath of office
to the newly elected senators, aud Judge
McPherson performed the like service for
t r e members of the house. The roll call
ot the senate showed all the members
present, except Senator Baker, who is con
fined to his home from the results ot a
fall upon the ice. Seuator George Handy
smith nominated C. Wesley Thomas tor
President pro tem. and Senator Green
nominated E. H. Laubach. Mr. Thomas
recived forty-two votes and Mr. Laubach
seven.
Mr.Thomas was then escorted to the
chair by Senator* Smith and Lanbach and
delivered his inaugural address.
The senate then elected clerks and em
ploy es as decided upon by the slate oom
mittee. Senator Laubach moved to a
mend by substituting other names for all
positions except that of chief clerk, but,
of course, the motion was rejected. The
usual resolutions adopting rules and lor
the appointment of notifications commit
tees were offered and adopted. Senators
Keefer, MoCreary anl Cochran were ap
pointed to notify the house of senate or
ganization, and Senators Grady, McCarell
and Green were appointed to notify the
governor. Senators Sm>th, Flinn, Porter
Cochran and Laubacb were appointed to
act upon a joint committee with, mem
bers of the hnaw, to arrange for the in
augural of Gov. Hastings, ami then the
senate adjourned to 3 o'clock.
In the house, Mr. Niles of Tioga nomi
nated Henry P. Walton for speaker sec
onding speeches being made by Kiter of
Pmladeplhia, and North of McKean. The
name of Mr. Frit* of Columbia was pre
ginted by Mr. Fow of Philadelphia, sec
onded by Parcells of Mifflin. On taking
the chair, Speaker Walton made a clever
speech, earnestly requesting the co-opera
ation of the house in the duties he woulil
be called upou to discharge.
Alter the election ot clerks and other
employes the usual resolutions were
adopted, and George V. Lawrence of
Washington was invi'.ed to dedicate the
new hall of the house to the purpose for
which it was intended. Uncle George
looked about npoti the splendid hall with
its rich tints and pictty trappings, and
spoke feelingly. In his address there was
mingled history, reminiscence and g'aiices
to the future, regret at the dis tppeaiance
of gome of the old familli'tr feature* of the
house arid satisfaction with the substitu
tion of modern progressive appliances. The
address was one ot the most interesting
that has ever been delivered before the
Pennsylvania house of representatives, Mr.
Lawrence's long experience is public life
lining him peculiarly and pre-eimneutly
for such a speech.
Alter completing preliminary bosines*
and reading the governor'.- message a* an
alternoon sesi-ion, the house adjourned to
meet Wednesday evening of next week.
Senator Flinu's bill to consolidate Pitt*
burg, Allegheny and the adjoining towns
and townships was the first to be introduc
ed in the senate.
HARRISBUKU NOTES.
It is said that Thos. Robinson Esq. of
Butler will receive the appointment ol
Sup't of Public Printing from Gov. Hast
ings.
Marsh Doutbett went to Harrisburg
with bis father and secured one of the
Transcribing Clerkships of the House, a
responsible and lucrative position.
It appears to be settled that Msjor I. B.
Brown, Deputy Secretary of Internal Af
fairs, will be chiej of the department from
the middle of January to the lir*t Monday
is wuVU UVUVTiU LHAVi Will
hold. Colonel Stewart will resign in or

to consolidate Pittsburg and Allegheny
into one city; the corporation limits to in
clude tue whole eastern part of the county

the proposed city that we cannot see why
it is not included
A Joyous Note From Kansas.
Lamar. FTausas, Dec. 2G h 1894.
Editor CITIZEN:
Again my memoranda is a re-.
minder that my subscription to theCirizßv

yoa by mail the amount in advance need

The bow of promise grows brighter in

many eyes from penury, and are still busy
constructing other facilities, finding more
markets, increasing employment, capacity
and product every season, notwithstanding
hot winds, drouth, chinch-bugs, cholera,
cattle fever and the accumulated dilatory
ingredients of a community void of faculty,
dependent on the expectation that the
energy, brains and grit of others may
bring them favor and opulence. Forget
ful that all progress has been the result of
labor and that those wh.. have every want
supplied without effort have n -ver amount

Compulsory Education.
(Extracts from the speech of W P Jam
ison, delivered before tue Setlool Director
of Hntl-r Co., at their convention of Dec ,
20. 1894 )
The lamented James A. Garfield in his
Inaugural addre:-s said; "All the Consti
tutional power of the Nation and of the
States, and all the voluuteer forces of the
people, should o*- summoned to meet the
danger of ignorance by the saving influ
ence o! universal education." This remaik
is just as timely now as then, because ig
norance is upon the increase in our State.
The discipline of our public schools, where
iu punctuality, and regularity are enforced
anil the children are continually taught to
suppress mere seif will and inclination has
been proven to be best school of morality.
Self control is the basis of all morali'y,
and industrious and studious habits are
the highest we can form in our children
The question comes to us, how far m»<y
the State provide for the education of her
children at public cos'f
Free and universal education to be pr« -
vided and enforced by the State, is the es
sential meaning of what is commonly call
ed compulsory education. Education is
the road to the grand consummation of hu
man life.
The most dangerous enemy to republi
can institutions is ignorance. Crime is a
less peril. Educated criminals are com
paratively rare, and their power f r mis
chief would be slight but for their influ
ence over the uneducated.
Ignorance is the precursor of crime, and
almost the necessi it.>' of it. iu a commun
ity where the average intelligence is high.
All doors to wealth and distinction being
shut to the ignorant man he is doomed by
his very ignorance to poverty, and pover
ty wr h its privations and despairs drives
him too often iuto crime. In fact the
higher yon raise the avenge of education
in any community the more dangorom
and demoralizing you thereby make the
influence of ignorance.
The only safety to any social system lies
in making the people homogeneous, un
divided iu classes of wide extremes, and
uaracked by social jealousies. There is no
future for a stratified civilization.
What more frightful warning could we
have of our growing danger than the late
condition of New York City! The Igno
rar.t classes have so multiplied there as (o
hold supreme political power. Knave
and rogues haye fastened upon their prey;
and the Tammany Ring is the result. The
same fate awaits every city in Americt in
which the same conditions shall obtain;
and our own cities of Pittsburg and Alle
gheny are iu danger from the same plegue
W bat right have we to allow a whole
generation of ' street-Arabs" to glow up in
our cuiesf Tuese boys and girls are Amer
ican born and bred; but instead of growing
up to be worthy American citizens, they
are ripening for 'he penitentiary and gal
lows. It is the vast mass ot uneducated
voters of our country, innocent c.t great
crime, that has given the corrupt political
ringsters their power. I'ithout the igno
rance ot the many, the crimes of the few
could never have grown to such mous
trous and horrible proportions. Let us re
cognize the tact that it is general igno
rauce far mora than occasional criminality
that is sapping the foundation of our
American commonwealth Remove the
ignorance, aud crime will be very easy to
suppress.
Free and universal education will blank
the moral evils that are now invading the
Republic as the hordes of Goths and Huns
invaded the Roman Empire.
No church or creed should he allowed to
dictate terms or be recognized in *.he dis
tribution of State funds tor public school
purposes.
Some r-ay "let no one vote who cannot
read and write." This is preposterous
Democracy in America has shown itself to
have liecu the effort of society to pas* froru
an arbitrary to a natural clarification,
iftil ju duvma liUM lift Wli'M-iuv/ VUd»^k
' peared with tbe slave holding clan*, than
Radicalism starts forth with the demand
for an educational qualification a* a right
to vote, or in fact to re-establish slav-ry in i
onr midst. When readers alone are voter*
tbe standard must ascend. It is a great
and dangerous error.
The educational test cures nothing. It
only tends to perpetuate the evil, lor no
disfranchised class is properly cared for by
a dominant c ass. So long as ignorance
visibly endangers lite and property, as is
tbe case so long as ignorance votes,
efforts will be made to tdu< ate ignorauce.
But deprive it of all political power, and it
will be left to its own devices, to grow
more and more degraded still. It is a
great mi*take to suppose that tbe desire to
vote would be sufficient motive to induce
the ignorant voters in onr cities to learn to
read and write.
Again, millions of ignorant people can
read and write and what does it amount
to; while not a few intelligent people can-
This country is destined to be ruled b
tbe Whole peopie and we may as well re
Cognize that fact early as late.
These are quack mediciues which have
been hastily, and unwioely recommended
by some of our would be reformers,what is
wanted is not medicine bui a preventative.
It is idle vaporing to talk of limiting suf
Irt ge now. It is no novelty to advocate
compulsory education. Now 27 States
and Territories of toe Union, and 32 coun
tries of tbe world bave compulsory scbo. I
laws in force, *ith flattering results.
We raise by appropriati-n and by taxa
tion sixteen millions ol dollars of the peo-
ple's money in this State, anil one third ot
the children ol i-chool age do nut attend
scnool.
Tbe people of tbe State have come to
tbe conclusion that r-uch a law is the only
Miund solution of tbe problem of ignorant
misrule.
Even accept the proposition made by
gome objectors to each a law, "Thua shall
not allow any man to iuterfere wiib thi
liberty ol any other man," and 1 am una
ble to see any such restrictions as its .-up
porters imply. If uiy next door neighbor
uhoses to allow his drains to be in sueti a
-tale as to create a poisonous atmosphere
no one would doubt the right to make hin>
clean up and abate the nuisance. And n
he allows his children to go unvacciuated,
he nnghi us well be allowed to 1 ave poi
sun iu the way of my children. And if b>-
orought up bis children untaught aud una
b e to earn a living, he is doiug all he can
to restrict my treedom, by increasioir th:
burdens of luxation lor the support ot poor
houses, j tils, eic. for which I will have n>
help to pay.
The. pi oposition that a child has a right,
to ue educated, wliicb no parent has a
right to iutriuge or violate, has probably
ueVer occurred to many people Vet tbi -
is one of the propositions by which I as
cube to the State the duty ot enforcing
universal eUucati in. CullJreu haVe rights
as truly as their parents —the more so be
cause they kuow theui nor know
now to maintain them. It any parent vi
olates the child's right to be educated—''is
right to a fair chaucn in lite— his right to
euler on a career which -hall not have lot
iu foreordained terminus,l he penitentiary,
hi-ti the State has as much rigtl' to compel
respect for this as for any other law vm.at
ed. The parent who so abuses his author
ity over ins child is neither more nor less
tnau a criminal and a brute, aud he should
be compelled to cease bis crime.
Iu oue sense all education is "cninpulso
ry" since no child will work or study it he
-au play instead.
1 scout at ihe idea that it is compulsor.
to guarantee to children their native rinhi
to be educated; and this is all Rouipulsor>
education is.
I should not approve a requisiti. n tba
all the children should lie obliged lo attend
the public sc too Is. Make if you can ttu
public schools so goud tnat the pureiii.-
sijall Use them by preference
The State has no right to »ay where the
child receives uis education, but the S'ate
lias the rigat to require the fact ol eduea

moral effect ot the Ne» Eugland system ol
education.
lu Pennsylvania about 10 per cent ot
the people cauuot read and write ami ye.
that uumber produces over 34 per ceut of
the crimes committed.
Compulsory education is right:
Ist. Because it is tne right of every
child to secure that measure of education
that will make him a useful citizen, aud
if this right is wuhheld by the pareuts or
guardian" il is the duty i.f tbe State to in
terpose and secure the child tuis grem
right.
2ud. It is manifested injustice to take
Irom tuti pockets ot its taXpayiug citiz-us
large sums ol money, wlielber they have
children or uot, for school purposes, aud
■ hen allow oue third ol tbe chtldreu to grow
up in ignorance. The pareuts iu so doing
are not conforming to wnat experience anil
,-i.unit ions of society regard ai right He
is nol acting iu a reasonable manner, and
ihe law st») ahe is uot acting lu a lawlul
manner.
It is claimed such laws create a new
crime. So they ought to. To bring a
-oiiilii up iu ignorance is a crime and should
l>e treated as such As the moat prolific
ot criiniuality it should be uuder the re
siralut of legal punishment
Ag uu th*t it luierlerca with personal
liberty. It is uo uiore an iufiii guient
ou personal liberty than tbe
exactions of military ser
vice in the hour of the Country 's need. II
the laws may prohibit the owner from
practicing cruelly upon his n<>rae or ox it
may restrain him from dwartiug and de
baaing tbe character «f his children It
the Mate ma> imprison young criiniuals, it
certau>y goes without argument that it
ma} remove the causes ot their crime.
Again that such laws are uu-American. To
put it in the uioct i lleusiVe forui they ask.
Would you have policemen drag your
children to school? I answer ye-, it it
