SHALL THE WRONG CONTINUE ?

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN There is one gross
wrong in the present school law. It is in the
apportionment of the ''prorata fund by
County superintendent. The present law
is that after each district has received its $500
or $500, as the case may be, for each teacher
employed, all surplus funds shall be ap-
portioned among districts according to the
number of census children, regardless of their
school attendance. What is the result?
Those interested in schools are more
anxious to show large census
cessful school. Change the law of
apportionment so as to apportion surplus
moneys in excess of the usual sum to each
district, or each teacher employed, so that
the pro rata shall be given to such schools
only as shall have an average daily attend
ance in excess of twenty-five pupils for each
teacher, and let each fund be apportioned
pro rata on, TINT excess OF attendance, and
you will at once enlist every parent who has
any regard for the education of his own chill
dren, for the keeping up of fund to carry on
a school for a time, and in a manner to be CT
the greatest benefit to all the children in
the community, and to enlist efforts of
all such to keep up school attend
aHCS. AS IL Is HOW. no SuCu luCSllIlFS 10
offered by the school law big census roll
secures the desired funds, and that is the
main thing sought. One of the best school
Trustees in our county said few days ago
q don't care how many children stay away
from school, SO that we only just have their
names on the census roll" That sentiment
IS dominant under the present law, even
among teachers and school officers. Another
evil is, that some districts are made up
largely of Spanish Catholic children
who will not. attend the public school,
and we have hundreds of such school
districts in cur State. Such districts draw
very large funds for the support of very small
schools, while other districts among dense set
Elements of Eastern people draw but small
fund for very large school. As a case in
point, large Spanish district in our valley
draws yearly about 50, 600, and has an average
daily attendance of only eight pupils in its
school. My own district here draws less than
$780, and has an average school attendance
of over fifty pupils, with every grade repre-
sented, from a 3 C's to geometry, and cor
responding branches in literature and science.
Shall this wrong be perpetuated in the new
school law? w. A SANDERS.

KEARNEY'S SENTENCE.

Judge Rix has deserved well of the CON-
munity. His sentence upon Kearney yes
terday was the first indication of genuine
moral stamina we have recognized in San
Francisco for long time. 1t is just and
proper that in such case the full penalty
permissible under the law should be in
ficted. 1t is only by such stern and I'M
flinching administration of the law that
the prevalent rufianism can be met. Of
course Keaney viii appeal his case to a
higher Court and it is impossible to foresee
what disposition of it will finally be made,
but it is refreshing to find that Judge Rix
at least is not tainted with any "compro-
"mise" tendencies, and that he knows
how to deal with a rogue when he has one
before him. And it is time that the pub
lie conscience, dulled and hardened by
three years endurance of incendiary lam
guage, should be stimulated by such a
sentence to fresh appreciation of the real
extent of the offense of which Kearney has
been habitually guilty. The well-meaning
old women who have been pottering about
trying to effect reconciliation " be-
tween the communists and incendiaries
and the people whose lives and property
they have menaced, must have felt a qualm
when they found how sharp contrast ex-
isted between their own craven and futile
experiments and the manly thoroughness
of this faithful Judge.

ROME, March 16th.-In the Chamber of
Deputies, during the debate on the estimates
of the Foreign Office, Premier Cairdi, allud-

declared that the Government must inexora-
bly, put down any attempt to disturb her
friendship with Austria. He ridiculed the
idea that Italy desired territorial acquisitions
in Albania. He believed in the maintenance
of peace, but the moment had certainly not
arrived for reducing the army of Italy. He
agreed to England's proposal for an Interna-
tional Commission to settle the Greek bound

Politics in France.

PARIS, Match 16th-In the Chamber of
Deputies the Left introduced an interpella-
ton against the Government as to what
course it will pursue relative to unauthorized
religious confraternities. Premier De Frey
cinet emphatically repeated his declaration
of yesterday, that he would apply the exist.
ing laws He demanded complete liberty of
action. He would always be ready to render
an accounts of his acts. He asked for COM
plete vote of confidence by a large majority.
A motion introduced by the Left, expressing
confidence in the Government and relying on
its tirmness to enforce the laws against unau-
thorized congregations, was adopted by 1888
to 147. The extreme Left abstained from
votine. The minority were all members of
the Right. The Ferry education bill, as
amended by the Senate, was then adopted.

no THE FOR COMPROMISE.

The announcement that the Citizens
Protective Union at San Francisco had
been induced to hold " conference with
Kalloch and Kearney, with view to
g compromising" the existing difficulties,
was received by all thoughtful observers
with profound establishment, and equally
profound disappointment and disgust. It
would seem from this that the popular
understanding of the purposes of the re-
cent organization of citizens in San Fran
cisco must have been altogether erroneous,
and that the press throughout the country
was misled into giving it credit for firm
ness and spirit to which it has no title.
For it is very certain that the situation is
one in which no basis for compromise
or "conciliation exists. San Francisco
has for three years been disgraced and
damaged by the brutality and turbulence
of gang of foul-mouthed miscreants who
have outraged every requirement of civil
lied agitation who have counseled murder
and arson and pillage; who have poisoned
the ears OF the public with the language of
the stews; who have paralyzed bust
ness, caused the depreciation of real es-
tate, driven out capital, disturbed and
unsettled everything, and done their ut
most to bring about social war. They
have pandered to the communistic heresies
OF every lazy loafer who abuses the pros
porous because his own whisky -muddled
brain and pithless arms are impotent to
raise him above the dead level of hopeless
incapacity. They have organized the ignor-
ance, the alien hatred of all governmental
restraint, the lurking hostility Of the In
competent against the competent. They
have marshaled these elements of anarchy,
and have led them against civilization.
They have by these proceedings brought
the community to the brink Of ruin, and at
this stage, when at last the representa-
tives of order and progress and law seemed
to have exhausted their patience, and to
have resolved upon the rescue. and vindi-
cation of outraged society, we are told that
conference" has been arranged be-
tween the demagogues and ruffian leaders
of the anarchic mob, and that steps are
being taken to effect compromise" We
are amazed and ashamed at this pulling
outcome of so resolute a beginning, and we
see in it the effects of counsels which
threaten to be fatal to the cause of order.
For this is no time for compromise or con-
Citation. 1t is the outraged people alone
who have any right to make the terms, and
the villainous disturbers of the public
peace ought to think themselves well off if
they escape with their worthless lives.
The crisis which has been reached is not
to be met by senile timidity and shutting
concessions. There is only one kind of
language suitable for the expression of the
public determination. We thought there
was some indication of the right spirit in
the initial declaration of the Citizens Pro-
tective Union, but it seems that this was
merely flash in the pan, and that nothing
earnest was really intended.

We trust even now that the reports of
the compromise with Kearney, Kalloch,
ct al., have been exaggerated, and that so
fatal policy as that pointed at by the
Bulletin and Call will not be adopted. 1t
would indeed be sorrows crown of
SORROWS if San Francisco should cap the
climax of her past pusillanimity by under
taking to treat these men as though they
were foreign powers, with whom solemn
leagues and covenants might properly be
ratified. No more scathing commentary
upon such line of action could be found
than consists in Judge Rix's sentence upon
Kearney yesterday, and We trust that it
came in time to restore some moral courage
TO those degenerate representatives of a
once gallant and self-reliant community,
who have shown SO fatuous an inclina-
ton to palter with their trust. For
no true friend of San Francisco Will counsel
compromise now. The city has reached
point at which she must once and for
all settle the question of her future govern
ment, and must determine whether it shall
be conducted in accordance with American
doctrines and principles, or be handed over
to the bowling mob that form the con-
stituency of Kearneya and Kalloch. Thecity
can afford to make no concessions whatever
to the rufianly element On the contrary,
that element must be made to keep its
place It's leaders must be told that they
viii no longer be permitted to organize
anarchy and sedition. and that if
they persist in that bad business
they will be hanged. If that is
not what the Citizens Protective Union
meant in its proclamation, then the organ
ization was a farce. Ii it was not pre-
pared to go to whatever lengths the safety
of the community rendered necessary.
then its projectors would have done more
wisely to remain in their Offices and stores,
and submit quietly to the brutal and law
less proceedings of the Kearreyites. And
if now they are going to compromise j
the matter with the public enemies, it will
have to be recorded that the victory in
this struggle remained at last with Kear,
ney and Kalloch, and that the leading citii-
zens of San Francisco only bestirred them
selves enough to make it eonspicuously APP
parent that their capacity for self-govern-
ment was a thing of the past.
