COMPULSORY EDUCATION. Senator Stewart,
of Nevada, has proposed an amendment to the

of Nevada, has proposed an amendment to the
constitution as follows:- ea4
ARTICLE 1911 any State shall fail to maintain .
common school system, under which all persons
between the ages OF i've and eighteen years, not
incapacitated Tor the same shall receive, free OF
charge, such elementary education as Congress
may prescribe. the Congress snail have power TO
establish therein such 8 system and cause che
same to be maintained ct the expense OF such
State.
This is one Of the most important amend
ments that has ever been submitted to Con-
gress. The constitution imposes upon Con-
gress the guarantee to every State of q repub-
ican form of government Now there can be
no such form Of government, either in form
or in spirit without education We are rap
idly coming to the doctrine that ignorance is
crime, and certainly it is crime against the
State. 1t is more necessary to build school
houses than jails and quite as important to
send children to school as to preserve the
quarantine at our ports. We trust the Senator
will press this amendment, or one similar to
it in spirit, and that it will commend itself to
the prompt and intelligent consideration Of
Congress. e@Ha

The QUEEN DowAoER OF SWEDEN, mother to
the King, proposes to visit Norway. It is fifty
years since she made her first visit. Then
Bernadotte was King and she was Crown Prin-
cess. The Queen Dowager is the grand
daughter of Josephine, and was first cousin to
Napoleon I'LL She is now in the sixty
year of her age, and was born when her father,
Prince Eugene, was in the sunshine Of Napo-
leonic splendor. She married the son of Ber-
nsdotte in 1928, two years after the death of
Napoleon, and when, as matters were going
badly with the Bonaparte family, it was well
enough for Beauharna!s to marry Berna-
dotte. Her first visit to Norway was in her
youth, fair and hopeful bride. She now
returns in her old age, q widow aud no longer
Queen. The occasion Of her visit will be made

All the efforts Of the governments Of Europe
to restrain emigration and all the misrepresen-

of the German government, to pre-
vent its subjects leaving the Fatherland,
and lately the Misrepresentation made in
England as to the alleged disadvantages
which immigrants labored under in this coun-
try, had also some effect, but the stream flows
on nevertheless and appears to be increasing.
The truth is the mass Of people in Europe are
pretty well informed about the United States
that is, as to the cheapness and quality of the
land and the freedom and excellence of our
institutions they prefer to take the

crowded cities and go to the interior, where
there is work for all and cheap land for all.

Army Headquarters.

$1,000 $500 O~~NSeSO
GUESSING with some earnestness the order trans-
ferring General Sherman's headquarters, as
the commander of the army, from Washington
to St Louis. The Missouri journals exult over
the coming of the General as the pioneer of
the capital They have long dreamed that
the greatness Of the Republic demands that
the capital should be built on the Mississippi,
and Sherman's movement is only an omen of
what is coming in the future. The Chicago
journals are green with envy. ''There is not"
says the Tribune, "a single instance in the
civilized or uncivilized world where the seat
headquarters at another" If Sherman should
go West at all he should not stop OF st. Louis,
but go to Denver, which is West enough. At
the same time the Tribune alludes to the fact
that it possesses Sheridan, and, in spirit of
magnanimity, will spare Sherman to st. Louis.
Our opinion is that it does not make any
material difference where the headquarters Of
the army are. The telegraph makes St Louis
as near to Washington as Bladensburg for all
purposes of administration and authority.
We can understand why the commander of
the army would prefer to make his home in
community where he was conspicuous man,
and not, as in Washington, where he is out
ranked and smothered by other men quite as
conspicuous. In Washington Sherman is among
the attractions satellite revolving around
the War Department and the Presidency. In
St Louis he would be the shining central sun.
As the command of the army is little more
than social position, or rather will be when
Congress has pinched and clipped the
army into Q skeleton condition, St Louis
would be more attractive, especially to SOL
der of the transcendent fame of Sherman,
than any other city that could be selected.
Still, the matter il not of much consequence
Capital moving is . dream. It makes little
difference where we have the place of author
ity, SO long as the telegraph obeys it. The
natural capital is New York. When the gov
eminent chooses to come here we shall well
come it. In the meantime Washington will do
for a century or two at least.
COMPTROLLER GREEN periodically favors the

ICES such action and the city interests are
properly guarded. But this is when the work
is done under department which does not
enjoy the friendship of the Comptroller. When
department is on the good books Of the
financial head the case is different. Take
for instance, the dry goods bills of the De-
partment of Charities and Correction. The
goods were sold to the city at an advance of
from twenty-five to thirty-fve per cent over
their cost, in amounts over one thousand dol
lars, and yet no bids had been invited. How
is 1t that the bills were paid by the Comptrol-
ler2 Why were the detectives, examiners, in
vestigators and other contingency employees
of the Finance Department unable to discover
their illegal character9 We may not receive
any explanation from the COMPTROLLER: but is

A Tenacious secretary.

Mr. Richardson gives, every day and every
hour that he remains in the Office of the
Secretary of the Treasury, a new evidence of
his unftness to be there. This evidence con-
sists in his inability to comprehend the pro-
prieies Of the position, or in his unwilling
ness to act on that comprehension if he
possesses it. 1t is an experience very common
in our country for men to care more for their
Offices than for their dignity; but it should not
be common in the Cabinet. It ought to be
supposed that in high Offices there is sense
of honor, and that only an ordinary moral
tone would compel man whose dis
creditable transactions had been shown
to vacate an Office whose duties he
could no longer properly perform
from the mere loss of general respect 1t is
pretty fair rule on this delicate subject that
man who does not resign when his resignation
is in order is Of that kind Of humanity whose
moral nature is covered with rhinoceros
skin. There is no occasion to consider the
sensibilities of such man, and his successor
may be appointed without apprehension of
any consequent mental calamity. Perhaps
the President has noted this in regard to his
Secretary, as he is reported to have said that
"when Mr.. Richardson does resign his sue
cessor will be named Immediately. The man
who does not resign with such an observation
on foot could scarcely be blown out of Office
with q torpedo.

The UNRuLY REDSKINS. Official reports
from the frontier predict general In
dian war. and one close at hand at
that. General Sheridan announces warlike
movements among tho Sioux that are very
ominous for the welfare of the settlers in their
vicinity, and the most powerful tribes in the
Southwest are also taking to the warpath.
So much for the peace policy and gov
eminent presents supposed to be sufi-
cient to keep the savages quiet Those
reports also rebuke in very significant
manner the criminal policy that suggests
skeletonizing our small army. A general
Indian war would do much towards disabusing
the public mind of such a suicidal course
and showing what insufficient protection is ex-
ercised at present by the government over the
frontier settlers. The entire army would be
inadequate to the task Of guarding such an
immense extent Of territory against willy, uh
scrupulous foe, armed and trained at the gov
eminent expense.

TIE HoHENzoLLFRN BoGY-Business is
dull in Paris especially with the press; and
as the Partisan must have his sensation,
though the heavens fall, one of the city jour
mails has made the discovery that Sefior
Sagasta and two other members Of the
Spanish Cabinet ''favor the renewal of the
Hohenzollern candidature' for the throne of
Spain. What an inexhaustble mine Of
excitement is opened by the mere suggestion!
There are not only the downfall of the Spanish
Republic, the explosion of galvanized Carlism,
the destruction of the hopes Of the Alton
sists embodied in the thought, but there is
also renewal of the Franco German war, with
the probable result Of another siege Of Paris.
When the Hohenzollern bogy first appeared
before the eyes of ahrighted Europe people
were puzzled to decide whether he was raised
by the pious Kaiser or the plotting Emperor,
and to-day the world is divided in opinion on
that point Now, however it is quite plain
that Sagasta is to drag him again into sight
with the object of destroying the Spanish
Republic, reminding the Franco-German war
and restoring the Empire to France. This
certainly is new and interesting phase Of
Spanish diplomacy.

patrons to protect themselves by such social
weapons as they know how to use. If this
polite method is adopted the offensive law
will be mere waste paper except so far as it
applies to schools.
In respect to schools it is more formidable
and may do infinite mischief; but we doubt
whether it will be worth while to contest it in
the courts, even for the preservation Of the
common school system of the South. Of the
nine judges of the Supreme Court only one
Justice Clifford-is o democrat and there is q
great preponderance Of chances against the
law being adjudged unconstitutional. futile
effort to get it set aside by the Judiciary would
only promote the object of it's partisan authors
A reminding of the extinct negro excitement
would give them the advantage of the old
issue, in which they always triumphed, and If
their opponents are wary they will not by
bootless opposition after the law has passed,
play into the hands of the agitators. "But,"
they may ask, "shall the infant system of free
common schools in the South be ruined with
out strenuous attempt to save it?" If there
were possibility of saving it this question
would be pertinent I; but it cannot be saved
unless the Supreme Court should declare this
law unconstitutional, of which there is no
reasonable hope. Why, then, furnish fuel to
partisan agitation by fruitless opposition in the
courts2 If this bill becomes a law the COM
mon schools of the South are irretrievably
doomed, except in the two or three States in
which the negroes are q majority, and futile
attempt 70 save them will only serve
