OOMPDSOKY EDUCATION.
F'trsjmmborof years leading educators
of New Xork state have been endeavoring
to securnihu enactment o( n Compulsory
Muration la more complete and satis
factory tunn tbs-one put on the statute
-MOK Home twenty jears ago. Tlilt result
kai now been accomplished. Tlie bill
pasted by the Legislature attracted a
Inrce degree of public attention, but It
received n substantially unanimous rota
in both houses, and Governor Flower has
(gned It. The measure promises to serve
tlitfrnrposoin view, assuming that It Is
adequately enforced.
This moasuro hnd been defatted ln
former years, owing to the fears -of Koman
Cuthollcs that a compulsory edncatlon
would interfere with their rarochlal
schools : but after some modifications of
the hill had been made Senator Bradley
and other Roman Catholics ln the legis
lature supported it heartily.
The important section of the bill Is as
follows :
Kvery child between eight and slrtecn
rearsof age, in proper physical anil mental
oqaditton. to utteud school, shall rojularly
attend upon lnstruclou at n school iu
which at least tho common school branches
Df rvndliig, Hpelllng, writing, arithmetic,
I'jigHsh grammar and geography are
taught, or upon equivalent instruction'
by -competent teacher elsewhere than nt at
school, as. follows: Kvery such child
letween fourteen and sixteen years of age,
not regularly and lawfully engaged in
iu any useful employment or service, and
jty snch child botween eight and twelve
ttiire ot age, shall so attend upon lnstruc
tionas many days nnnually.du.rlng the
period bet oea the first daraot October
and. ilia, folio-wing June, as the public
acfioof of the district or city in which snch
kUd resides shall bs ln session during
(She same period. Kvery child between
twelve and fourteen years of age, ln
worer physical and mental condition to
attend school, shall attend upon lnstruo.
tiorultirjng, such period, at least eighty
KufHrdayg of actual attendance, which
shall be consecutive, except for holidays,
TOcations and detontlon by sickness,
which holidays, vacations and detentions
ahull not be counted as a part ot such
irighty days; and such child shall, in
addition to the said eighty days, attend
epon Instruction when not regularly and
!uwfully engagod in useful employment
or service. If any such child shall so
attend upon instruction elsewhere than
at a public school, such instruction shall
do at least substantially equivalent to
lie instruction given to children of like
;ent the public school of the city or
iittritt in which such child resides; and
such attendance shall bo for at least as
ivir.y hours of each day thereof as are re-
muiml of children of like age at public
acbooW ; and no greater total amount of
idldays and vacations shall bo deducted
Sroin such attendance during the period
anch attendance Is required than Is al
awed ln such public school to children of
Skoiige. Occasional absence from such
attendance not amounting to irregular
Utendance ln tho fair meaning of the
trm shall be allowed upon Huch excuses
inly as would be allowed ln like cases by
Hit general rules aud practlco of such
public school.
One-important section of the act pro
vides for the punishment of firms who
shall employ children of the school age
It shall be unlawful tor any person,
rm or corporation to employ any child
SA-eu tho agos nt eight and twelve
years in any business or service whatever
ittring any part of the term during which
fthe public schools ot the district In which
4b child resides nre iu session; or to om-
ploy any child between tho ngesot twelve
sxxl fourteen years of age who does not,
at tlie timo of such employment, present
certificate signed by the superintendent
f schools of the city or district in which
41 child resides, or, where thore is no
KJlicrintcndcnt, by such other officer as
Mxeschool authorities may designate, cer
liylng that such child has compiled with
&elaw relatiug to attendance at school
(iia-ing the school year betweon September
.uulJnly, then current; and any person
1kj shall employ any child contrary to
?u provisions ot this section shall, for
mch offence, forfeit and pay to the treas
urer of the city or village or to the super
toor ot tho town ln which such offence
aifill occur, a penalty ot f50, tho same,
when paid, to be added to the public
artiool moneys of tho city, village or dis
trict iu which the offcuce occurred.
Another section of the bill authorizes
ad'aaUendauce officer" to arreit without
warrant any child between eight and
sixteen years of age who Is n truant from
acliool. Truant schools are to be estab
Hsued In the cities, and ths city author!
tios may provide for the confinement,
maintenance and Instruction ot truant
children ln such schools.
This law will go Into effect January
1, 1805. Tho Superintendent of Public
Instruction Is authorized to appoint an
assistant at a salary of 12,500 yearly to see
to Its enforcement.
Such State Superintendent may with
hold one-half of all public school moneys
from any city or district, which ln his
judgment, wilfully omits and refuses to
enforce the provisions of this act, after due
notice, bo often and so long as such wilful
omission and refusal shall, ln his judg
ment, continue; but whenever tho DrovU
Ion of this act have been compiled with
all moneys so withheld shalt be paid over
by said State Superintendent to such city
or district.
It Is to be hoped that the members of
tho next Legislature of this state will see
the wisdom of passing a similar law.
There Is much Ignorance In many of ths
Industrial centres and thousands ot
children between the age of eight and
twelve yenrs are employed In the mines,
factories, etc., to the detriment of their
health and education. Let us have A com
pulsory education law ; it Is the only trn
way to make the state and country great.

To Investigate an Attempt to
Bribe Two Senators.
FOETUNEB OFFERED FOE TOTES
Ths Senators Not rersonally Approached
In ths Matter, bat the Evidence Against
the Attempted Driller Seems Complete,
Mr. Oalllngar Begins a Longthy tpeeoh,
WASIIIKOTOK. Mar 17. Senator IjidM.
of Massachusetts, soon after tho senate
met yesterday, Introduced a resolution
authorizing the appointment of a commit
tee of five senators to lnvetlgnt charges
oi attempted bribery of senators in con'
ncctlon with the pending tariff bill, The
resolution was laid over.
It Is learned definitely that certain sen.
atnrs have received Intimations that i
money consideration could be secured for
their rotes against the tariff bill. Tho
negotiations apparently hav gone no fur
ther than Intimations to the clerks of Sen
ators Kyle and Ilnnton. Those intima
tions came from a North Dakotnmau who
is known as a '.obbylst on several schemes,
He was formerly a member of coigress.
The amount which It was Intimated Sen
ator Kyle could receive was IH.OtO, nnd
$1,01X1 was to be retained by the mau mak
ing the negotiation as a commission. Mr,
McParlane, Mr. Kyle's clerk. Bays the
matter never went any further than rii
Intimation. He promptly informed Sir.
Kyle. The latter is now in Strath Dakota,
but will return to Washington on Satur
day. Senator Hunton talked freely about
tho attempt made to bribe hint to vote
cgalnst the- tariff mil, although, br said
that he Is very sorry the matter Biad be
come public at this time, lie Bald the mat
ter 11 ret enme to bis attention about a
month ago through a lettr from his son
dated at Warrsnton, Va., the home of the
senator. He irnmodlntely laid the matter
beforesIx or eight of his most Intimate
friends in the senate, that they might
know what was going on.
He never saw the- man who offered the
bribe, and declines to give his name. All
the negotiations, if the proceedings could
be called such, wove conducted through
his son. Tho marr went to Warreutod
early in April, carrying a letter of Intro
dnctlon from a maa whom' Mr. Hunton
did not know auy better than- the man he
Introduced. Ho proposed tv paySenatoi
Hunton $25,000 for his opposition to the
tariff bill, and young Mr. Hnnton imme
diately informed his father of tlw prop
osition. "Do you tblnk tbeproposltiVin wnmad
ln earnest?" tho senator was asked.
"My son Is (Hitislled that it was and,
furthermore, was satlsed thnt 1300,UX
would be paid It it bad appeared, that that
sum would have secured the coveted voto."
Mr. Hunt' n .a!d that tie negtiatordid
not say whom he represented.
Senator Lodge when eaked after ad
journment for an explanation of his reso
lution for an investigation of. the-reported
attempt to bribe said:
"I know nothing of the matter person
ally, but the statement is- specula, and
coming so soon as It does after the publi
cation of the alleged efforts- ot tha sugar
trust to Influence. legislation by unfair
'means I have thought that a' commit te
should be appointed 'to inquire into the
whole subject. It is my opinion that it
such work is going on all the tacts should
be known, and my only purpose lm pre
senting the resolution Is to. bring- them
out."
Ex-Representative C. W. Duttz,of Bhttc
vtlle, N. I)., whose name 1b mentioned in
connection with the alleged attempt to
purchase the rote of senators Kyle-and
Hunton on the tariff bill, has determined
to ask a full investigation at ths hands ol
the senate of the charges-made against
him. Major Iiuttz makes & gsneral de
ntal of the charges against him, and told
Senator Hansbrougb that he wanted a
personal investigation ns speedily as pos
sible. The senate waded through two more
I pnges, comprising thirteen paragrapbs of
the tariff bill, yesterday. Tlie actual con
sideration of tho schedules did not begin
until almost 3 o'clock. Two hours after
the bill was taken up were occupied by
Mr. Galllnger in the delivery of the pre
liminary chapters of a set tariff speech
which he announced included a history of
Americnu tariff legislation from the time
the Pilgrim fathers first set foot on Ply
mouth Rock. Three Republican senators,
Messrs. Quay, Dolph and Galllnger, now
have portions of long undelivered speeches
ln readiness to be used ln case the Repub
licans resolve upon a lost ditch fight.
Whether the Republicans will persevere
ln their present policy, seek to defeat the
bill by strategy, or decide to allow the
majority to pass me uut h tuey can mus
ter a sufficient number of robes is the un
known and undetermined question In the
senate situation.
As a result ot the uncertainty as to the
Republican attitude Senator Harris this
morning called up his resolution for 10
o'clock sessions,
Thls precipitated a splr -
lted debate, which is liable to last until
adjournment.
In the house the agricultural appropria
tion bill was taken up at an early hour,
and about two-thirds pt the bill was con- (
sldered. Only two amendments iucreas
lng appropriations were made, one for tSOOl
to continue tha experiments with Max and.'
hemp in the state of Washington and the
other increasing the appropriation for ths
purchase and distribution of seed from
$130,000 to $160,000.
New Jersey Legislature.
TltENTON, May 17. The Republican
members ot the legislature have agreed to
adjourn at 3 o'clock this afternoon until
Wednesday of next week, when they will
come back and pass over the governor's
vetoes any bills which be may return to
them with his objections. They will prob
ably have to remain here Thursday and
Friday to finish up all business, when
they will take a recess until September.
The bill placing the control of the state
capltol in the hands of the state comp
troller, state treasurer anu governor was
defeated iu the senate. The bill making
the state board ot education non-partisan
and to consist of two members from each
congressional district passed.

afternoon the choice of a new moderator.
Moderatorsbtp talk Is now the order of
the hour, and one hears continually of
new candidates. The Pacific coast is said
to bo particularly prolific ln this line, hav
ing no less thnn three men mentioned, but
their chances are generally believed to be
very slight. The rumor names them as
Dr. Arthur J, Brown of Portland, Ore.,
Dr. n. C. Mlnton of San Francisco and
Dr. John W. Dlnsmore ot Ban Jose. Phil
adelphia has a candidate who has been
mentioned on previous occasions and who
Is by no taeans unknown ln the church at
large Dr. Samuel A Mutchmore, editor
of The Presbyterian, New York state
also has a candidate lrr the person of the
moderator of the stnto synod, Dr. James
Gardner, of Gloversvllle. In all prob
ability the contest is to be between
Drs, Gardner and Mutchmore, with the
odds in favor of the former, unless the
well known liberal spirit ot the synod of
New York as at whole tends to wxaken
him as a candidate.
