Educational News.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The Com
missioner of Education has complet-
ed his 9Th annual report and calls at
tention to the intimate relations
existing between the educational
work and commercial prosperity
He claims for the work performed in
his office great value to all economists
and politicians, as we'll as the teach
er and publicist. The Commissioner
states that it is gratifying to observe
the increase of the determination OF
each state to take an annual census
of the school population.
There has been an increase of 164,
900 children during the year. Thirty
five out Of thlrty-seven states report
the number Of teachers, thirty-seven
states and eleven territories report
the public-school income, which
shows an increase Of $l,232,000, but
only thirty-fve states and nine terri
tories can show their school expen-
ditures. There are enrolled in the
public schools 100000 pupils. The
average daily attendance is 4,500,-
600; the estimated population be-
tween 6 and Is years of age is TO-
100000.
The total income of the public
schools in the states and territories
in 1874 was $92,000,000 The total
expenditures for s74,000,O0O. The
highest salaries for school-teachers re-
ported is accredited to the Cherokee
Nation, 1926 monthly for male and
5000 monthly for female teachers.
The District of Columbia comes next,
s113 and SIS. Massachusetts shows
greater disproportion-S93 and S33,
The expenditures in the year per
capita of average attendance in the
public schools, is as follows: Massa-
chusetts, $40; Ohio, s14 Nebraska,
SIS; Rhode Island, SIS; Connecticut,
S19; Vermont, S12; New York, s21 /;
lows, S14; Michigan, So; New
Jersey, SIS; Indiana, sl4; Illinois,
sI3; Maine, $40; Maryland. $40 ;
Minnesota, Sl3; Mississippi, SO !;
Tennessee, S.; Virginia, So; Florida,
So; District of Columbia, s26 /;
Montana, SIT Colorado, s22; Utah,
Sc Cherokee Nation, S24
Many states cannot tell the mum
Der Of their school populations. Some
have not counted their sittings and
do not know whether they are ade.
quste to their necessities. Illinois is
the only state with country normal
schools. In schools of secondary in
struction, 1901 institutions with 409
more teachers are reported in 1874,
as against ga in 1873. There were
20. 391 less students. The diminution
in attendance is attributed in q
large degree to the financial depres-
sion and is particularly noticed in the
preparatory schools tor the superior
instruction of women. During the
year sos degrees were conferred on
women. There are now in colleges
and scientific schools 5000; in the
preparatory schools, $4,000.

UNCLE SAM AND THE RAILROADS
The Supreme Court of the United
States has affirmed the decision of
the Court OF Claims in the case be.
tween the United States and the
Union Pacific Railway. The ques-
tion involved was whether the gov
eminent had the right to retain one
half the compensation due the road
for the transportation of the mails
and military and Indian supplies as a
reimbursement or set-off for interest
paid on the bonds issued by the cor.
poration to aid in the construction of
the road, and which were guaranteed
by the government. The amount in
volved was about 100000. which
the government has withheld and
will now be compelled to pay. The
bonds run for thirty years, and the
decision virtually allows the road to
take its own time prior to their matu-
rity for payment. The court, in its
opinion, classes the work as one ma.
tional IN its character and Importance.

Agreeable to the decision of the
dominant party of the House. Mr.
Kerr was elected Speaker upon the
assembly Of that body on Monday
Concerning this election and the
probable effect resulting therefrom
uSon the Democratic party, we
quote the New York Heratd, than
which no paper in the Union is more
thoroughly Democratic end fierce in
its hatred of the Republican party.
Read
The election of Mr.. Kerr places in
the Speakers chair gentleman OF
character, who will no doubt perform
the duties of that Office with dignity
and fairness. The elements which
elected him, however, are not calcu-
lated to strengthen the party through
ont the country. From the very be-
pipning Mr.. Kerr has been supported
by the Bourbons of the democracy.
He represents that element which
has Iabored since the beginning OF
the war to return the democratic
party to the position it occupied un~
der Buchanan. His success as Speak
err is virtually repetition of the
policy which made Ceckrell Senator
from Missouri, Wallace from Penn
svlvania, and Eaton from Connect
cut. 1t shows that the leaders of the
Democratic party have learned moth
ING from the results of the war.
They are as stiff-necked in accepting
the consequences of that great event
as Pharoh when he held the people
of Israel and would not let them 60.
Altogether
the event is deplorable, looking at it
from Democratic point OF view,
and IT seems the Democrats will
never learn wisdom. This House
which came into power to reform
the country, to overthrow Bourbon
ism, to free the party from the
malign influence of Tammany Hall
seems to begin in the old, old way
This election gives the Republicans
another chance.

The Potter Law and the Railroads.

We confess we have little interest
in the discussion of the..Potter law, or
in the able articles of our friend G.
w. L. or "'Steel Rail-" any further
than such articles have a bearing on
our immediate enterprise and similar
ones in other parts of the State. Very
learned and ingenious reasons are
given by Col. Cochrane and other
gentlemen why capitalists withdrew
their money from railroad enterprises
in this State. They claim it was not
the Potter law, bat the Credit Mobil-
Ter, the great swindle of Jay Cooke
in the North Pacific and all that.
This may or may not be true. But
we ask in all earnestness, since the
Potter law men have assumed the
protection of the stockholders and
the entire management of the rail-
road system in this State, why do not
the capitalists rush forward and invest
their bonds in building a railroad from
Monroe to Dubuque, from Oshkosh to
the Mississippi, from Dunleith or
PlattevilIe to the Wisconsin river, and
Immediately fill up those broken links,
the completion of which would give an
instant and onward impulse to all the
business interests of the State and
open new avenues of transportation
and competing markets to the farmers
themselves IF the Potter law men
who assumed such superhuman
disinterestedness that they can deter
mine what railroad company ought
to receive for transportation, what the
merchant ought to receive for his
goods, and what the farmer ought to
receive for his grain, without injustice
or selfshness; if they can induce cap
italists and men of money to trust in
their professions, surely railroads will
be rapidly built under their super
vision. There is plenty Of money.
The Potter law friends have taken the
railroads under their control, exercis.
ing the same power over their earn
ings that they would over their own
property. But Notwithstanding this
merciful protection and oversight
nobody appears particularly anxious
to put his money under the control of
any body of men, even of the
Changers. Even the Potter law men
will not trust each other and risk their
money in such investments. We are
treated to long dissertations on the
villainies of Cakes Ames and Jay
Cooke and the Credit Mobilier and
all that dd nauSeam. But Cakes
Ames built the grand thoroughfare
from the Pacific to meet our local
roads, and even Jay Cooke run his
road from Duluth to the Missouri.
We do wish honesty would do some.
thing besides talk and abuse villainy.
We are in for the Potter law, and SO
is every fair minded man, if it will
invite capital into our State and build
our railroads. And we think it de-
wolves upon that numerous class who
are filled with horror at the iniquity
of railroad corporations land 49,.
enough OF it,) to prove to the world
that they excel them in enterprise as
much as they do in character.
