hO A6oV WAhSOA PoooCN
an act known as the Hartshorn Law,
requiring that all school teachers in
Ohio shall pass satisfactory examina-
tions hereafter in United States His
tory. The law takes effect September
lst, and the teachers are pouring in
letters as to how this will effect those al
ready having certificates for number
of years, and have engaged places to
teach for the coming year. These
have brought out the following opin
ION from the school department:
''ln answer to numerous letters re-
garding the opinion of this law, l re-
spectfully submit this opinion: TO
employ" does not seem to bear the 4 (:
row meaning as ''to engage, "to hire,
''to make contract with" Webster
defines the word ''to keep in service, =
"to use as an agent, servant or rep,e
sentative" and the like. This would
indicate that under the law no person
who has not received certificate in
the United States History can be kept
in the service after the first day of
September next; but the Constitution
protects parties from such operations
of laws as would impair the obIiga-
ton and validity of contracts. Hence
it is believed that any contract made
before the passage of the above law
(April 5, 1897 is binding to its end
under certificates which were adequate
when the contract was made. The
passage of the law, however, is notice
to all parties contracting with the
State as teachers, subsequent to such
passage and the law, as to all its pro-
visions, becomes a part Of all such con-
tracts, after April 5th, 1882, to teach
Common School in the State for any
term continuing after September lst,
must l think, have added to their GER
tiicates United States History in such
a manner as to cover all the time to be
employed, in such teaching after Sep
tember lst, 1882. AS to the claim
presented by some of the letters that
certificates running for two, three OF
four years are contracts, can not see
in them the characteristics of con
tract. They are certificates obtained
by teachers in conformity to the exist
ing demand of the State that teachers
should possess certain qualifications
as conditions precedent to employment
in its schools. 1t certainly may en-
large these conditions precedent to the
validity of contracts to to be hereafter
entered into, and demand the certified
statement Of It's officers that these quail.
ifcations are possessed. Of course
every one knows that the opinions OF
this Office are in no sense legal decis
ions.' d. f. DEWorF, Com'r.
Section 4073 was also amended last
winter so as TO read as follows:
"And the Examiners may grant GER
tiicates for five years to such appli-
cants as in addition to the necessary
qualifications have been for three years
next preceding their application en-
gagged in teaching, eighteen months Of
which experience shall have been in
one place, and each certificate for five
years shall be renewable without ex-
animation at the discretion of the
Board"

How the Tarl1 Works.

FROM Speech by Senator Williams Of Kentuekey.l
If protection is a good thing, pro-
hibition is better one; and the best
of all would be to close all our ports
against foreign nations, and surround
ourselves with an impossible wall, like
China and Japan. Commerce is the
exchange between nations of their
surplus commodities, and there must
be some reciprocity or there can be no
foreign trade. Whatever shuts out
imports shuts in exports. live would
sell we must also buy, or thereis an
end of trade. Trade cannot be kept
up long where the cash is all on one
side.
The friends of protection do not
state the issue fairly. They try to
force it between protection and absolute
free trade. Nobody is for free trade
iuss now. The wants of the Govern
ment are SO great that all agree a very
large amount of revenue must be raised
from the customs. The difference is,
the manufacturer wants tariff so high
upon all articles that come in eompe-
titlon with him as to keep them out
altogether, or load them so heavily
with charges as to destroy competition.
We want tariff that will yield the
most revenue at the lowest rate of
assessment. Free trade would yield
no revenue, while, prohibition would
be equally fruitless.
We want lower tariff with larger
importatlons which will give the
Government more revenue and the
people more comforts We want
foreign competition in our own mark
cts, to give us lower prices and bettei
goods.
The amount of revenue now derived
from customs is about 5000, ,000.000
collected from about 100000, 600, oi
imports that come in competition with
domestic products.
This $2OO,eOO,OOO comes from the
pockets of the people, but they pay ii
cheerfully, because it goes into their
treasury to support their government
But this tax has reflex action, against
which the people protest.
This tariff not only increases tle
price of imported goods, by the amount
of duty assessed, but it augments the
price of all that is manufactured and
consumed at home. which is many
times greater than the imports.
A Louisville merchant goes to New
York to lay in a stock Of goods. H.
first enters an English importing house
and prices bale of coarse wooler
cloth, which is two dollars per yard
"But," says he, Il bought this C 9th
before the war at one dollar" "True,
says the Englishman, "but your gov srn
ment has put on duty of one dollar
per yard, and / have only added thai
to the price Our merchants lay fol
the goods and the importer puts one
dollar into his pocket, and the other
into our treasury. NOW this is reve'
nue. and goes to support the govern
ment
He now crosses the street to ar
Americans house and examines q
similar bale Of domestic goods and
finds the prices exactly the same
But how is this, says he, "you pay
no duty and yet sell as high as the
Englishman. True" says the sales
man, "You see the foreign article
fixes the price, and we ask two dollars
because we can get it." Our merchant
pays the two dollars yard and the
manufacturer puts every dollar into
his own pocket and not a cent into oul
treasury. Now this is protection.

ANATIEMPT AT WHOLEsALE MURDER.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 1S-One of the most
dastardly and cold blooded attempts to
wreck a train was made last night at the
first trestle this side of Allequippi. station
on the Pittsburg IL Lake Erie railroad. At
Allequippi yesterday there was II picnic,
which was attended by some thousand or
more men, women and children, filling
six coaches. On the return the train was
going at IL rapid rate. Just before enter
ing the first trestle the engineer discovered
that a large beam lay across the track, and
the discovery was made Just in time TO en-
able him to stop the train.' Had his atten-
tention been attracted in another direction
but for a minute before he saw the obslruc-
ton on the track the train would have been
precipitated to the ground below a distance
Of forty feet, and with the precipitation
there would have been a terrible loss of
lite Who put the obstruction on the
track, or what motive tempted the fiends
to engage in such an attempt at wholesale
murder, it is of course unknown. There
can be no doubt that what the beam was
laid across the track for the express pur-
pose of wrecking that particular train.
The excitement produced by the
discovery among the passengers was
so great that for the remainder of the trip
there was mnch less JOY than there had
been. The railroad authorities have offered
a reward of $500 for information which
will lead to the detection OF the would be
train wrecker.

INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.

TAsCON. Aug. 1S.-Stars special advices
from Guavmas Sonora of the 18th says.
word has just been received from Trinidad
Sonora that the Apaches are depredating
fearfully and committing frightful atroci
ties in the Sasuahupa district A large
lOrce of Mexicans are in close pursuit. At
Taratuc ranch the Apaches killed six men
passing Lamesa Palona they killed two, in
Lucuchitta two. in Arincahonda 4. Three
hours afterwards they attacked Elcarrige
and killed eleven women and child, first
stripping the women and outraging them
in the most brutal manner and then putting
them TO death by the most cruel torture
Four or the men of the ranch, who were
returning, saw the houses on fire and fled.
The Apaches gave chase. Three of them
took refuge in the rocks, and
were defending themselves, when
the fourth man, who escaped,
brought the news to Trinidad. A large
force of citizens started at once to the res
cue, and cOuriers were sent in all direc-
tions to warn the settlers of the wherea-
bouts of the hostiles. No mail riders have
arrived for seven days. 1t is believed all
have fallen victims to the Apaches. The
number of hostiles is 200, commenced by
Juh, the Chihuahua chief, who escaped
after the battle with Gen1 Fuero last
spring.
Authenticated reports state that body
of Apaches have penetrated Alamer and
are depredating there. Gen1 Reys, with
large force, is in the Sahuaripa district,
and declares he will not spare a buck,
squaw or papoose, if he again encounters
