ANALYSIS OF IMPORTS.

To many readers the word imports is al
ways associated altogether with receipts of
dry goods, but the total of this class is now
less than one-third of all the foreign imports
landed at this port. 1t may be convenient
for some of our readers to have in single
line the comparative value of each class OF
goods, and we add it as a final recapitulation
of the foregoing tables:

MARTIN II. CADY, A. M,
County Superintendent Of Schools
REFORM.


In looking over the last report of
state Supt. Fallows, we fad the follow
ing facts relative to Pierce county.
There are 5O37 children in the
county between the ages of four and
twenty. OF these all that attended
school any the past year we're 1896,
small number over half We have now
one question to ask the citizens and
! parents or tnIs eouaty. whrrv-~rTc
these 2,342 boys and girls Of our com
munities who were not in school the
past year? Surely if ignorance Is a
crime large amount of guilt has been
incurred BY the people Of this county.
Is the cultivation of the mind SO uu-
important that nearly fifty per cent Of
the children Of Pierce county are kept
away from the public schools? Do the
people have so perverted ideas Of true
economy that they will pay taxes Jear
after year for the education of their
neighbor's children, while their own
are growing up in ignorance, and con
sequent poverty?
The question Of compulsory educs.r
ton or not assumes very grave aspects
ia new of these facts. It may well be
questioned by the more intelligent and
far seeing, whether the state is not
bound to defend itself by law against
the degrading influences Of 50 much igr
norance
From our observation in visiting
schools, We are confident that this lack
of attendance arises to a great degree
from simple indifference. People do
not care whether their children 90 to
school or not and 50 they Etay at home
We have noticed that the number over
sixteen years Of age who regularly al
tend school is very snail. The four
years from Is to 20 are more saluablo
10 students than any other four years Of
I their life. Ths liins when tho tacul-
tns are maturing, is tbs time when tie
most lasting impressions can be made.
Tic young then are acquiring strength
Of mind aud muscle rather than crow til.
This is the period Of the formation Of
habits, the time when tone and direc-
ton is gwen to all the after years
We know that many are poor, aud
need the services of their children Ia
the struggle for a livelihood, but very
few are 50 poor that they could not
send their children 10 a free school in
their oan neighborhood at least thrco
mouths in year, We do not 50 much
need law 10 regulate these matters, ne
we do the education Of public sentiment
1 People need to be aroused to an appre.
citation Of the facts. Pierce county is
40 worse than the other newer counties
Of the state, bat this affords no excuse
u her, There are schools enough 10
the county conveniently situated to
meet the wants OF all the citizens; and
as far as we have seen, ths teachers arc
fully competent for their work. If
there are better teachers wanted, the
people must demand, then pay them,
aud they will be produced. AS long
as district officers make no discrimina
ton IN wages between a teacher holding
a third grade and one holding first
grade certificate, they need not expect
that teachers will be al the expense OF
o more complete preparation. La these
days Of reform let reform, like charity,
begin IT home.

Mr.. GoUGH thinks it is better for
n woman to be laughed at for not be-
ing married than to be unable TO
laugh because she is married. The
marriage that takes all the laugh ont
Of a womao, like the sunshine that
takes all the sweetness out Of the
grape, is an exceedingly suspicious
commodity, and ought to give the
divorce doctors something to do.
But the idea Of trying TO reconcile
woman TO an impaired life because
another woman found It uncomfort-
able, IS as absurd as to try to keep
her FROM eating apples because
Of Mother Ewes unfortunate pom.
illogical experience.

Some newspapers find their line of duty
in an effort to influence the minds of the
people on local preiudices. They assume
that the differences of opinion on the finance
question are confined to local limits, and
that the East is engaged in a deliberate
purpose 10 advance the interests of that
section at the expense and detri-
ment OF the West. There seems
to be no evidence of such a
purpose or feeling in the express
sions Of the Eastern press or people.
There Is probably not the least foundation
In fact for the charge. The injustice to tn at
section OF the. country libeled is OF trifiing
importance to them. The penalties pro-
posed by few hot heads to be visited on
New England and New York will not be
likely to be realized. But to the few people
whose hateful pre)udices are excited and in
famed, great injury is done. Glass and
local animosities are severe detriment
to the subjects rather than the
objects of them. The cartoons of the Har-
per publications representing their views,
seem to have greatly exasperated at least
two journals of this city, who make haste to
counsel prescription in revenge. TO begin
with, the expression of favor or disfavor to
public men through cartoons, is no greater
wrong than to do the same through written
editorials. Such, mode of teaching
and argument is, to be sure, little
more effective and cutting 10 an opponent.
But the disciples of Mr.. Morton have not
probably forgotten their ecstssies at the
same methods used with such effect upon
Mr.. Greeley, in 1872. They ought not to
howl, even If the pain is sharp, when they
have to take dose of the same medicine.
1t was all right when the pictures aided
their cause. When the situation is changed,
such things are very unjust. The Hsrpers
will probably survive.

II practice makes perfect, according to The
old maxim, Senator Sherman's finance bill
ought to approximate the standard required.
BY this time the committee on whose behalf
the bill reported this morning is presented.
should know what they want, what the pres
ident wants and what the country wants
Whether all these requirements can be COM
bined in one law is another matter. The
last effort is an attempt to reach an agree
ment and to relieve congress of its duty to
do something. 1t restricts the greenback
volume to the present circulation of ssS2, OOO,-
900, and provide for its gradual reduction to
$50. 900 600 Resumption of specie redemp-
ton is set down for January l, 1877, and pro-
vision is made for the issue OF gold bond at
five per cent, to be used in default of coin in
the treasury, which bond shall be payable at
the pleasure of the government at any time
after ten years. The notifications of the
banking law are intended to combine
the elements of sufficient currency
with safety, and reasonable
approach to free banking. This bill is in
tended to enter as substitute for House
currency bill, but if it runs the gauntlet of
the finance doctors 1t will be surprising.
Tine foes of resumption aud good faith will
rally against any plan that blocks the incipi-
emit game of ultimate reputation. But as
nothing Of that ilk can get by the president,
possibly this bill may meet with success.

TUESDAY, MAY II.

A Washington correspondent OF the 81.
Louis Republican casts up the political
horoscope of Senator SchurZ. First and
foremost there Is to be no removal to New
York or elsewhere. Ifthe people OF Mis-
souri should have the bad tsse to refuse TO
send Mr.. Schurz back to Washington, he
will take up his quarters again, after the 4th
of next March, at the Office ofthe Westliche
Post. But he does net disguise the isict that
he hopes for a reelection as an independent
senator, bound by no party ties and subject
ouiy to the dictates of his own states
manlike views and Keen understand
ing. he feels in the air about him
symptoms OF a break up in the exist
ing order of things and he proposes, as soon
as his duties will permit, to devote himself
to the organization of a new political move
ment in Missouri, which shall be ah upris-
ing of homes. people against the two mort
bund parties which the power of momen-
tum alone infuses with the ,similitude of
life. With such movement he places
himself in full accord and burns his ships
behind him. II he succeeds, the country
can congratulate itself on having still one
statesman in Washington. If he fails, the
people at large must bide their time. waiting
the grand uprising that must come at some
time, and the men of Missouri must con-
tinue bending their necks to the party yoke.
Vet awhile longer.
