Letter trom Harrisburg.
Harrisbubo, Pa., May 21, 1895.
Editor Post :
The end is in eight and unless the
onslaught will soon be made by tho
dissatisfied citizens throughout the
State we may get away with our
sjalpn iutact.
Somo live weeks ago tho House
adopted a resolution fixing tho 2.'lrd
of this month as tho day for final
adjournment. Tho Senate pigeon
holed the resolution and last week
passed n resolution fixing tho date
on the Cth of June. When tho reso
lution camo to tho Houko it was at
otice referred to tho committee on
rules. JuHt what tho disposition of
it will bo I do not know, but it is
sifo to say that we will not get away
before t hat tiino. Nearly all tho ap
propriation bills aro yet to bo passed
and as fur as tho appropriation to
tho schools is concerned there will
bo a lively timo before the country
members will ngreo to a reduction
of a million which seems to bo tho
Hchemo on tho part of thosa who
are anxious to get all they can for
charitable and other instituions. If
the revenues do not allow tho re
tention of tho present amount, what
is the objection to utilizing tho
thousands that are lying uround in
soiuo favorite banks ! Thero is no
siund reason to reduce tho appro
priation, The 1ivtrnori()Hsthe Compulsory
Julucdtion JlHl,
Compulsory education is a cer
tiinty ho far as legislative authority
cm make it. I hope tho ad
vocates of the principle of coiupul
s )iy ul tendance at public schools as
embodied in tho act just signed will
realize their highest anticipations.
The wi iter has Home doubts as to its
practicability as far a:i agricultural
communities nio concerned, or per
haps more particularly iu districts
that are but sparsely settled.
The final success of this measure
is a proof of the old sayiug.the third
time is the charm. A similar bill
passed tho legislature three times.
Twice it wus vetoed by Gov. Patti
Kon and now it becomes a law with
the approval of Gov. Hastings.
In a communication to the House
ho gives tho following as his reasons 1
f J In.
for aprroTin? the bills 'Tbepeneral
RMpmbly in the BeHBionn of 1891 and
1893 passed a compulnory education
al act somewhat similar to the prps
ent menBure, each of which met with
executive disapproval. There ap
pears to be throughout the common
wealth a general desire for such a
law. I have uot received a single
protest from any citizen against
this bill so far ss I recall. The un
animity with which it was passed by
the legislature art well an the lame
number of requests made upon me
to sign it, clearly indicate the gen
eral desire on the part of the people
for a compulsory educational law.
Under these conditions I am con
vinced that I should not obtrude
any individual judgment which I
may have on this 'question of public
policy. This measure provides for
compulsory education in perhaps
the least objectionable form to those
who oppose it on prineiplo and of
fends as little against the personal
rights of the citizens as possible.
I, therefore, approve the bill, but if
by experience tho expectations of
the peoplo are not realized future
legislation doubtless will meet their
demands."
Tho bill as signed by tho Gover
nor, provides that every child be
tween tho ages of 8 and l'J years
tli. .a . . a .1
snail attemt at least. u weeks 111
mon English branches are taught,
unless excused by the board of
school directors on account of men
tal, physicial, orother urgent reason
Tho act exempts children living
more than two miles by the nearest
road from nny public school as it al
so does those who aro being other
wise instructed in tho common
English branches for a like period
of time iu any other school or edu
cational institution. For violati uis
of the i ct parents, guardians, or
persons iu control of sue 1 children
uot so attending aro liable to a line
of .2 for tho first and .1 for each
subsequent ofl'ense. Notico must
be given, however, to parents, or
guardians before Hiiit is brought,
and provision is made for appeal to
the courts. School boards may also
appoint truant ollicers r.t not over
.?2 per day whoso duty it is to ap
pichend truants and others who fail
to attend school.
Hie assessors snail each spring
mako a list of all children between
Iho ages of 8 and M years and return
it to tho county commissioners, who
shall certify it to tho secretary of
the proper school boards. Eicli
principal or teacher shall bo furnish
ed with a list of tho children subject
to the provisions of the act which
teacher shall report to tho board at
tho closo of each school month tho
names of all children absent with
out satisfactory cause. Proceedings
shall bo brought against parents,
guardians or persou iu chargo of
such children who have failed to
comply with the requirements of
the law. Tho secretary of school
board who failed to comply with the
law is punishable by a Cue of $25.
7 he Hill abolishing the December
lleyistry aitned.
Tho Governor affixed his signa
ture to the bill which proposes to do
away with the December registry.
This requirement under the Baker
ballot law is a useless expense and a
featuro which can be dispensed with
without in any way affecting the ef
ficiency of tho Bystem. The Decem
ber registry costs the county be
tween 200 aud $300 which can now
bo appropriated to other purposes.
J he Judges J'etnion Hill.
The judges' retirement bill is rest
ing peacefully in the dark recesses
of the Senate Committee Room and
it will not see the light of day at
least duriucr this term. Senator
Quay it is said, has put his stamn
of disapproval upon the measuro be
lieving it to bo bad policy to pass
such u measure at this time. The
leaders ought to consider carefully
before they impose such a responsi
bility upon tho llcpublican partv.
It looks as though the good sense
of tho great body of citizens is not
to bo outraged by the enactment of
a law that is wholly incompatible
with tho principles underlying our
fleo institutions. No arrangements
have been mado for the funeral.
Apportionment Jlill pnaaed tc-
ond Heading,
The constitution makes it imper
ative for tho legislative branch of
tho government to apportion tho
State iuto congressional, judicial,
senatorial, and legislative districts
after each decennial enumeration.
This constitutional requirements
has not been complied with because
since tho last census no apportion
ment bills becumo laws although
several reached tho executive but
only to bo disapproved. The Gov
ernor thinks it is tho plain dutycfi
this legislature to pass tle bills and
spurred by tho executivo desire the
llouso passed 011 second reading tho
congressional, tenatorial, and legis
lative bills just as they came from
the committees.
The judicial apportionment bill
which passod the House some weeks 1
, 11 ... I
ago is sun Hanging m me senate nn ui a,b,,iou, y(,i,me f,0fi, respectfully oiie
committee. It is just evident that CWv'T"
all these questions must be referred
to conferences for adjustment sinco
the House and Senate bill hardly
agree 011 any bill containing the
same provisions.
The House congressional bill does
not change our district but tho sen
ate bill puts Snvder with Noi lhnm
berland, Montour, Juniata, Mifflin,
and Centre. Such a combination
will not likely receive the endorse
ment of tho representatives Ilepub
licans throughout tho district.
The Senatorial bill puts Union
and Snyder with Mifflin, Juniata,
and Terry, a combination that Urn.
Focht tried to clmngo withpropir
amendments but without huccphk.
The legislative ratio u 2l).(m and
on that basis there will bo 202 mem

number of changes naturally occur

rural counties lose.

With interests so diverse it will bo

satisfy all parties and thero mav bo
