/Compulsory Education.

The telegraph tells us that the legisla tors have passei the compulsory educa- ton bill. In this they have done them selves credit and conferred blessing upon that portion of the rising generation who either have no parents or are stIli more unfortunate ill being the children of those who have no care for the future welfare of their offspring We hold that no man or woman has a moral right 10 so far outrage humanity as to bring children into the world and let them grow up ill ignorance to be curse upon society aud ashamed Of themselves as long as they live. And it is proper that the legal light to do so should be taken away, so that the law of the land shall harmonizc with the law of morality and cOmou justice. We have been favored with a synopsis of the bill, and find all the objections care fully guarded. Tn case a child is physical ly unable to attend school, or is taught at home or in a private school, it is eX empt from the operations of the law; but the main question is to compel every parent to provide his or her child with all education. Of course many prefer to send their children to sectarian schools, where they can be taught the principles of thelr own peculiar religion, while others prefer to educate their children at home. Ali this the law allows them to do; but in order to avail themselves of the benefits of the public funds they must send to the public schools, which are maintained by the taxes of all the people for the benefit of rich and poor alike, and while the teaching of any particular reli gous doctrine is prohibited, the teachers are strictly eDloined to inculcate good morals, politeness and civil department, leaving to the churches and home disci- pline, at the option of the parent or guar dian of the child, indoctrination in the mysteries of theology Arizona Miner, February l2.

 In all thirteen claims amounting to S360,775 were presented by Arizona people, and of this sum the Indian Bureau felt justified in recommending the payment of only S3l70-a little less than 9 per cent. of the claims and of the thirteen, ten were not recommended for any allowance. If it be urged that the Indian Bureau is Op- posed to payment Ofsuch claims, what can be said of Congress? the department of government that encouraged the preSenta- ton of them. The Indian Bureau positive ly favors the payment of SS23, ,402, whereas Congress has not provided means to pay one cent. Congress which immediately represents the people, declines to pay any of this class of losses. Whether it ever will pay any, Is doubtful. It will do no harm, and as THE CITIZEN said some two years ago, it may be wise for people who sus- tain this kind of losses, 10 keep record of the attending facts, and put the proof of them into such shape as will make it ac- ceptable in case Congress should ever be willing to pay them. People generally present such unreasonable claims, that meritorious claimants are injured thereby. Some people think an Indian agent can and should pay losses sustained by depre- dations of Indians under his charge when there is no power but Congress can do SO, or authorize and provide for any payment

This is very much 10 be regretted, but as The Miner philosopher said about certain disappointment, :" we can wait when we have to-" However, Lieut.. Smith says he is going right ahead with the line from Tucson to Goodwin via Lowell, San Pedro and Camp Grant. A station at Goodwin will be within few hours ride of San Carlos, and an express rider can make the distance to Apache In one day in good weather.
 Lieut.. smith and his assistant MT. J. B.

THE NEW YORK OBSERVER of late date has this interesting item: The Winter thus far has been unusually severe in England and on the Continent, and the cold weather has raised the death rate in London about 45 per cent. This is owing not so much to the cold as to the want of appliances to meet it, characteristic of English homes and English convey ances. One can scarcely find house ih England that has the comforts of Amer ican houses generally, and the railway cars are usually without any means of heating other than the animal heat of the passengers, which is soon exhausted There is no country in the wogld where one can have so many comforts, whether at home or in travelling, as in tue United States.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Mr. New, who
has been appointed U. s. Treasurer to
succeed General Spinner, will remain

+ THE MAIL CONTRACT BUSINESS.
1t is the purpose OF the Postmaster
General to correct as soon as possible all
the abuses connected with the mail con-
tract business. Heretofore it has been
the custom with some contractors to OBJ
tain large number of contracts and
then sub-let at much lower rates than
they are paid by the Government. 1t is
proposed to remedy this hereafter by a
law which shall provide for the registra-
ton Of the names of the contractors with
their routes and the prices paid by the
Government in every case. Persons who
want to buy these routes from contrac-
tors can do SO at scale of prices laid
down by the Department.
1t is believed that if this method is
adopted the profit of contractors will be
so much diminished that they will not
find it advisable to spend large amounts
OF money to secure contracts. 1t is lur-
ther believed, now that the contract
frauds have been exposed, it will not be
possible herea ter for any one contractor
To obtain as large number of contracts
as formerly.

The habit of eating opium is not ac-
CURED so readily as that of using tobac-
co and liquor, but this is doubtless ow-
ing to it's not being prominent among our
petty vices. If it was, crusade agalsst
opium would be needed much more ur-
gently than one against whisky. Those
who use it are generally of very nerv-
Gus disposition, though frequently the
nervousness is superinduced by the use.
AS yet in this country few have used it
through mere choice. or a desire to do as
others do. The habit is generally in
duced by the first dose, which, too often,
by the advice of a physician, has been
taken as an opiate or anodyne. The sf-
fects which follow the first dose lead to
q desire TOR more. The complete absence
OF bodily, brain and heart-Wearing care,
and the semi-unconscious condition of a
more than earthly happiness which it's
innuence gives, are sought eagerly by
the willing slave. As it cures nervous
ness, SO does it also induce it and this
again is another excuse Tor. the contiuu-
ance Of the habit.

The Indian Famine.

The drought and consequent famine
which visited India last year was the re.
suit of the diversion from its usual
course of the southwest monsoon. This
wind, upon which Bengal is dependent
for its rainfall, or rather the winds
which compose it, blow from the Arabian
sea and from the bay of Bengal toward a
line lying to the south of the Ganges, in
which region depression of the barome.
ter appears in April and becomes well
established in June, when the rains set
in.
In 1873 this line, or through" of low
barometer did not cover it's usual area,
but moved considerably to the north.
west, giving Bengal an unusual preva-
lence OF westerly winds, and conse-
quent decrease in the rainfall. The
effect was heightened by the fact that a
considerable portion of the monsoon cur
rent from the bay OF Bengal was detected
toward the southeast, as it proved by
the existence of an area of lower barome-
ter in that quarter.
Thus the monsoon was partially
drained off toward the southeast before
reaching the interior, and then was
turned away from its usual course.
The causes of this alteration are not
known, nor can they be discovered un-

the frequent occurrence of persistent

no means of making such a study of the
