ANOTHER FINANCIAL SUHEME.

Our Washington special of yesterday con-
tains what purperts to be series of resolu7
tions adopted by conference of Democratic
congressman anxious to effect compromise
with the Bayard wing of the party on the
financial question. The resolutions declare
that coin is the constitutional money of the
country; that all paper currency be issued
by the government with limited legal ten
der value, and that reserve of 1914 per
cent. of the paper circulation be kept in
coin for redemption purposes, the changes
to take effect in 1883. The date fixed for
the changes is the date at which the charters
of the national banks expire, and the inten-
ton of the resolutions is to legislate the
national bank notes out of existence.
The proposed plan is an improvement
upon the Bayard bill, but it does not meet
the requirements of the time. We question,
also, whether it could be adopted save after
a severe parliamentary struggle which would
have tendency to divide both parties
hopelessly and provoke dissensions during
the Presidential campaign that would be apt
to prove disastrous to the material interests
of the country. It would also have the eff
feet OF deranging our currency system for
the next three years or more, unsettle values,
and provoke distrnst. Even when the date ar
rived on which the changes proposed should
60 into effect, the measure would in all proba-
bi]ity be found defective, and would have to
be still further amended, thus giving rise to
more uncertainty and doubt. The caucus
to which the resolutions are to be
submitted will no doubt consider
these questions deliberately before
taking action, and come to the con.
clusion that for the present, at least, they
should not pass.
Our legislators, it is very evident, have not
learned to let we'll enough alone. Our cur
renoy system at present is satisfactory to the
bulk of the people, and we have no doubt
will prove to be satisfactory to all if it shall
have a fair trial. The boosted resumption
of specie payments has been in operation
less than year, and though all the benefits
that were predicted for it have not arrived
along with it, there is no reason for prevent
ing their coming by undoing what has al
ready been done. If resumption was SO de-

These figures disclose great inequality in
the educational privileges of our children.
While 81 per cent. of them have only four
months of school in year, held in the
small rural school house, with no apparatus
and often teacher of low grade and no OK
perience, the other Is per cent. have nine
months in a year in elegant school buildings
costing $1,546 sos, with apparatus valued at
salaries paid in the State can secure. While
we rejoice in the excellence of the schools
in our principal cities, VIC should remember
that they are supported by special tsxes, the
rate for which is low compared with ruras
schools that aspire to anything COM
parable with metropolitan educational
advantages. Minneapolis and St. Paul
support their schools on rate of nearly
three mills special tax on the dollar, while
rural rates to secure similar terms would
have to be not less than eight or ten mills. It
extent these facilities for education, with
rural schools enrolling fve-sixths of our
children. We should change our present
one mill tax, NOW returned;on ptoper;y into
State tax of mill and q half, and distrib-
ute it upon schools and their enrolment,
as in New York, Indiana and many other
States. Instead of 1000 petty districts with
too few scholars and too narrow basic of
taxation in many instances for efficient
schools, We should have larger districts with
fewer schools and more pupils and more
money for each. But reforms of this kind
must come from tho people through their
LEGISLATORS. - F: d. Burr,

It is evident that the parochial schools
are not lending their pupils to the public
schools of the cities for the mere purpose of
! enrolment. The records of brief attend
anoe also indicate that persons not actually
proposing to become scholars have not often
been enrolled. The total annual increase of
enrolment, 4,12O, is very near the average
increase in former years. It was never less
than 5000, and the laet year before enroll
ment became the basis of apportionment, it

J AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE.
| The total enrolment for each county for
winter and summer is given in table one;
also the average daily attendance. From
these figures the per cent. of attendance,
compared with the enrolment, can readily
be found. In some of the thinly settled
prairie counties the per cent. is low, and
| much lower in winter than in summer. In
Swift county, for instance, it was 46 in win
ter and 50 in summer. Some older counties
exhibit even greater difference, but in
favor of the winter. Sibley county has 81
per cent. for winter and only 81 for sum-
mer. Olmsted has 20 for winter and Is for
summer. Hennepin, one of the best
counties in attendance, has 70 per
cent. for summer and 76 for winter.
The average attendance on the enrolment
of the whole State combining summer and
winter is about sixty-6vs per cent. The ad.
vantage enjoyed by urban children is seen
from the fact in several of our largest cities
the per cent. is between ninety and ninety.
