The Public Schools.

Since the Adjournment of the Legislature
the State Superintendent of Education has
addressed circular to the School Commis-
siouurs Of the several counties, which con
tains matters of nterc't to the trustees of
free schools and the public generally. From
the circular we take the following:
l. lu making the apportionmeot Of the
school fund for the present. year, County
School Commissioners should take care not
to exceed the amount which will probably
! be collected. Boards Of trustees should be
cautioned not to make contracts ia excess Of
the school fund of their districts. All such
contracts are void
2. One Of the evils Of the public school
systom in the past, has been the establish
meut of too many schools. The results of
this error have been to divide the fund of
the School District into smaller portions,
thus reducing the salaries of teachers and
thereby impairing the efficiency of the pub
lie schools. The smaller the number Of
schools in each District the better will be
tho pay Of tho teachers, and the more eff
ceut the work which will be done. The
schools should be so situated as to afford all
proper facilities to the pupils of the differ
ent localities, but it is believed that in many
instances this can best be done By reducing
the number Of schools heretofore established.
The salaries Of teachers arc not regulated
by law, nor would it be practicable to do So
The salaries which can be paid must depend
upon the amount Of school fund, which
varies in different School Districts, and upon
other conditions which Boards of Trustees
must take into consideration. AS general
rule, would advise that the rate Of pay
allowed teaohers be as liberal as possible,
Tho services of competent teachers cannot
DC obtained for inadequate compensation.
3 No amendments to tho School Law
were mado at the recent session Of the
Legislature. Several acts and joint resolu
tions we're passed effeoting the school interest
Of certain Counties in the State. Their
purport cannot be indicated in circular.
In answer to repeated inquiries on this
subject, would suy that know Of no law
prescribing tho age at which pupils shall
be allowed to avail themselves Of tho bene-
lit of tho public schools
4. Tho school fund collected for tho past
fiscal year was 1915, 6,197.l0. Taxes which
will be hereafter collected by execution will
increase this amount
1t IL probable that the school fund of this
year will be at least equal to that of tho
past year. The proper expenditure Of this

foresee its effect even 10 his own case, and
was, therefore, sincerely disinclined 10 accept

And 1t is far more honorable to Governor
Seymour to haze comprchepdcd tho Dcces-

to have b2cn himself elected to the Prcsi-
dcDoy.
The people are utterly Indifferent to the
discussions of our party chiefs, growing out
of their rivalry. What the people of the
North is concerned about is whether the
men who have stood up for the rights of the
Northern States and the equal power of the
citizens of those States in the control of tho
National Government shall continue to be
prescribed by th" party organization. That
concerns their own rights and the rights
and dignity of tho community to which
they belong. Hriiden belonged to the dom
inant wing of the Northcro Democracy
when that party, by its control of the great
Northern States, was essentially a national
party. The overthrow of that wing Of the
party by the South through its control Of
the national organization lost tho party all
power in the North, aud made it essentially
Southern sectional party. 1t is manifest
hat it eau only become national again by
rcnsating as its leaders the school Of
statesmen who gave it that character
This is the feeling of the great mass of
tho party North aud South, and the nom-
! nation Of Tildcn was made in accordance
with that feeling. BY adherence to this
wisc and patriotic policy we can eliminate
sectonalism from our politics and restore
efficient and honest administration. Other.

about that the working GLASSES must look
for tho improvement Of their condition
He next proceeded to show by statistics
Of distribution how snail is the share of the
annual product of industry that goes to capi.
tai, and how much smaller still is the per-
centago which capital can devote to luxrri-
GUS uses. 10 q normal condition Of trade
manufacturing capital may yield ten per
cent. 1t cannot yield more, because any
industry in which it yields that percentage
draws SO much capital into it that the profits
are kept down by competition. For some
years past it has yielded much loss, aud
speaking for the cotton manufacture, it
would not now be yielding anything at all
except the utilization of material formerly
wasted and only saved now in consequence
OF services to which the wits of the manu-
facturcrs have been stimulated. Taking
ten per cent. as the yield Of capital in ordi-
nary times that amount has to be used to
replace worn out machinery ana machinery
made useless by new inventions. 1t has
olso to repair building, day insurance, and
cover various other expenses, and in the
aggregate the amount taken out for these
several purposes reduces the ten per cent.
to six. Of this five pcr cont. is used in
tho payment of domestic aud other service
employed by the capitalist and in the supply
of the actual necessities Of the capitalist
aud his family, leaving only Que per cent
that can possibly be devoted to the increase
Of capital or to luxurious indulgcnees.
10 sum up he declared as tho result of
Lis researches into the statistics of industry
that out uf The entire annual product of
industry in Massachusetts, from 95 to 9S
| per cent. is distributed 10 labor, and oil tue
remainder, except ono per cent, goes TO
tho maintenance and replacement ef capital.
IT is out of this ono per cent. alone that
capital can find anything 10 add to tho per-
ccntagc received by labor, and the only way
in which the earnings of labor can be in
creased apprecinbly is through the increase
ia tho efficiency of production which new
mechanical Inventions arc continually pro-
ducing
Mr.. Atkinson then went on to discuss
the services which the capitalist reuders to
society in return for that one per cent.
which is the solo source of all the great
fortune made in manufactures or commerce..
ln reply to question rs to the present ten-
deney of capitalists to invest in industrial en-
tcrpriscs, Mr.. Atkinson said there is little
inclination to do so, and that no improve
meut in this particular is to be anticipated
MS long as there remains any uncertainty in
regard to the unit of value. lie, however,
anticipates prosperous future for American
industry. He disliked even to think ol
difficulties in store for British industry and
the distrcas likely TO overtakc tic poorer
classes of the British people, and he Hntici
patcd within the next five or ten years
immigration from Great Britain to this
country such as that which followed the
Irish famine Of 1916 In reply to ques-
ton from tho chairman he expressed the
opinion that English capital also would be
transferred to this country in large amounts

WASHINGTON, January II, 1875
Although Southern Democrats no more
care about the payment Of the Southern
war claims than they do about the distribu.
ton OF the Geneva award, it is clear that
these SO called war claims are to be an inn
portant factor in the next Presidential cleo.
tion This may seem strange in the light
OF the fact that Republican Senate has 80
tar failed to follow the example Of the
House and adopt tho joint resolution pro-
hibiting their payment by constitutional
amendment, but it is nevertheless truo.
Ore of these claims now before the House
constitutes and interesting chupter of the
war history. It is that of A. il. II. Cren.
shaw, of Missouri, who wants pay for
itty i've mules and other property un-
lawfully taken from him by United States
officers in 1868. Mr. Cobb, Republican,
IN reporting on it in the forty third Con-.
gress said Cronshaw was the victim of u
conspiracy by Lieut.. Lindsay, of the ! lib
Kansas infantry, Wiley Aiken, Major
Plumb, then provost martial, and now
United States Senator from Kansas and
others to rob him of his property. The
report of Mr.. Reilly, from the COMMITTEES
on War Claims to the present House, states
that Crenshaw is an old man, end licensed
cotton deolcr was handed two letters by ono
of the oonspirators, aud that ho put them
in his pocket without reading them, not
having his glasses. One of the letters pur.
ported to be from Mrs. Page to her hus-
band in the Confederate service, a fact
which Crenshaw did not know. IIo was
soon afterwards arrested, imprisoned and
threatened with death. The outrages and
| tcrrors to which he was submitted, in order
to force him to surrender his property, arc
recited iu detail, aud are derived from the
report Of military boards aud officers. Ho
offered finally to give them everything if
they would not kill him, and did mako
conveyance to them. At one time he waa
told to make his peace with God as they
intended to kill him. This is a specimen
of the war claims the Republican purity
holds the South responsible for.

In this amount, however, there were nu--
mcrous Implications. Thus to some extent,
tho same cloth is reported once os iu pos
session of the manufacturers and again as
clothing on the shelves Of the dealer. AT
ter all deductions on account of Implications,
Mr.. Atkinson set down the net annual pro-
duct of the industry Of Massachusetts at a
maximum of 5000, 900, 900 or minimum
of $500, 900, and pointed out that the ag--
grcgate accumulation out of the labor of
two centuries is equal TO the annual product
Of only two, or, ut u ost, a little over three
years.
AS Il partial explanation Of tho extreme
alowness Of the process of uccrct!on, Mr.
Atkinson poioted out the destructive char
acter Of invention in its effect upon existing
capital. AS on illustration of this he men
toned a cotton mill which in 1888 produced

ducos the samo auount with the labor of
80 mon working 10 hours u lay. 1t be

pearan,es is the same mill now as in 1888,
but within the forty years from that date it
has been twice rebuilt fiom the foundation, j,
while its machinery has been again and
again replaced by improved devices, devices
which havo increased tho produotivenoss of
labor in tho degree indicated by the figures
just givon. This destruction of capital to
make way for new inventions, said Mr..
Atkinson, is tho law of progress, and it is to
