THE NEWS FROM ST4NLEY.

| The simultaneous receipt of tdings from
| Stanley on the east and west coasts of Africa
| is a coincidence that is easily explained. Tip
poo lib, when the couriers arrived at the Falls
| Station, sent the news in both directions, and
it reached Zanzibar and Saint Paul de Loanda
on the same day, whence it was telegraphed to
Europe. The messengers travelling eastward
by way of Lake Tanganyika had the shorter
circuit, but by canoes descending the Congo to
Stanley Pool this advantage was equaized.
From the mouth Of the Congo messages would
be carried either to St. Paul in Portuguese
territory or by steamer to st. Thomas. With
| favorable conditions the latest advices would
be received by the latter route. If steamer
were dispatched from the Falls Station to the
| Pool much time would be saved but possibly
| Tippoo lib had to depend upon canoes. The
| fact that he started his messengers across coun-
| try to Zanzibar indicates that there was no
steamer available at the Falls Station, and that
being uncertain which would be the quicker
route, he sent the news both ways.
| The discrepancies between the two accounts
received from both sides of the Dark Con-
| tinent may be caused either by incorrect trans
| lation of Starey's letter, or by the later date
| of the budget from st. Thomas Tippoo Tbs
resources in expressing himself in English are
meagre and without an Interpreter or Eu-
ropean adviser his reproduction of Stanleys
correspondence would be likely to be mac
curate. The latest advices from Stanley Falls
have stated that Baert, the Belgian lieutenant
who was with TippOo lib, started at the be-
ginning of August on four months expedi-
ton in the upper waters of the Congo. He
o. o4 ho Fol G+o.io
couriers arrived and possibly there was no
other European there to prepare accurate copies
Of the communications. In this way the dis
crerancies may have arisen which render the
two accounts uninteligible when put together.
Then, again, it is possible that the steamers
may have carried down the Congo subsequent
letters containing fresher Intelligence that
changed the aspects of the situation. Emn,
learning of the approach Of Oman Salehs ex-
petition may have retreated in SANKEY'S track
and caught up with him.
From one point or the other details are hourly
expected in London, as our regular correspond
ent states in his cable dispatch, and these dis
crepances will be speedily explained The
text Of Stanley's letters when ii is received will
indicate clearly whether Emin was with him
in the march TO the Aruwhimi or had been left
behind in the Equatorial Provinces. In the
former case Osman Dgnas mendacity will be
apparent and there will be no further cause
for anxiety respecting the prisoners alleged to
have been taken at Lado If the st. Thomas
dispatch is either inaccurate or premature, and
Emin was not with Stanley in August, the
Soudan tale Of the capture of Lado will be in
directly confirmed, and the fate of both ex-
plorers will be more uncertain than ever The
messengers arriving at Zanzibar report that
Captain Casati was with Emin when Stanley left

THE NEW oMPULSORY EDUCATION Ia,

| THE NEW COMP ULSORY EDUCATION LAW
A comprehensive account of the new Com
pulsory Education law, which received the in
dorsement of the council of City Superintend-
ents of Schools, held a few days ago in Utica,
is printed on another page. The article
describes the genesis of the bill that will be
laid before the Legislature shortly after its
meeting next month"; and contains the principal
provisions of the proposed law in full. The
measure deserves the careful study of all stu
dents of educational problems and the Itegis-
ature should he guided in its action on the
matter by the best and wiseSt counsel obtain
able. An interesting thing about the bill is
that il is the result of practical familiarity with
the subject acquired in an endeavOr to enforce
| The present law 1t is not therefore, the work
| Of a theOrist, but of one thoroughly informed,
and informed in the best way, in regard to the
matter in hand
The criticism based upon the imperfect re-
ports first published in regard to the provision
that children between eleven and sixteen
should attend school during only fourteen
weeks each year, loses much of its force when
it is seen to apply only to such children as are
engaged in regular employment for the remain
der of the year. All children of these ages
who are not at work must go to school during
the entire year. just as those between seven
and eleven are compelled to do. Failure on the
part Of parents or guardians to comply with tho
law is made a miSdemeanor punishable by fine
or Imprisonment. Here is n decided advance
upon the present law, under which offending
parents or guardians are proceeded against on
judgments. II Is easy to see that the class Of
people most likely to offend are those without
property, for whom accordingly judgments have
no terrors. Provision is made for refOrmatOry
schools for incorrigble children or habtual
truants-a term which is carefully defined in the
act. 1t has been wisely provided that the po-
lice in cities and towns that have police force,
and the constables elsewhere, shall aid in en-
forcing the law. One noteworthy section pro-
vdeS that in cities of over 250, 900 inhabitants
accommodations shall be provided for all chill
dren of school age within five years, and in
other cities and school districts within two
years. Failure to do this is to be followed by
forfeiture of the public school moneys.
These are some of the most striking features
of the proposed law. Careful examination of
it may disclose defects not now apparent. But
at any rate there appears to be here substan-
tal basis for intelligent action by the Legs-
lature. OF the need of action as promptly as
possible, no one who is aware of the lamentable
failure of the law of 1874 to accomplish its
intended purpose can entertain the least doubt.

they can get their books cheaper by stealing
hem than by buying them honestly, and so
want the chance to steal them no matter who
is hurt. Only ignorant persons can believe this.
Do they believe that this is the country OF cheap
books? Let them go to France, Germany, or
Belgium, where there is rigid copyright II they
would see cheap books. There well-printcd
classic can be bought for cents and even
less But these men are reasoning against
common sense. Would dry-goods be cheap if
every merchant were at liberty TO steal stock
wherever he found it? No; the insecurity OF
such situation would force merchants to sell
higher to make up for their losses. Under
international copyright bookseller could put a
cheap edition of a popular book upon the mar
xet because it would not be in the power OF a
rival to cut into him with another edition. He
could content himself with small profit, be-
cause he would know that it was safely his.
One of these days our congressman will learn
that there is every reason, both of selfish inter-
est as well as of morality on the side OF lnterna-
tional copyright, and that the men who oppose
it are utterly deluded

THE COPYRIGHT ELL.


The reports that come from Washington as to
the prospect of passing the Copyright bill in
the House are not encouraging. Few measures
not absolutely demanded by the necessities Of
the Government pass at the short session, and
| the coming change of Administration VIII
doubtless have the effect of increasing uncer-
tainty as 10 the future course of legislation, and
so diminishing the Congressional stock OF en-
ergy, which is none too great at any time. This
will tend to put such projects as the Copyright
| bill still further at disadvantage. But its
| friends do not intend to give up the fight
! They will make a strong push for the bill IN
the House. II is half the battle to have passed
it already through the Senate and with so large
q majority. 1t is possible they may succeed in
winning the other half, but, if they do not,
| they will at least deepen the impression they
| have already made on Congress and the cOun-
try. The momentum of the bill will increase,
and when it is brought forward again, as it
should be on the first day the new Congress
meets, it will be with better prospects than
ever before.
No doubt nine-tenths of the vague hostility
felt by a number of Congressman to this bill
arises from belief that ii is in the interest OF
foreign publishers and authors, rather than OF
Americans, and that it will make books dear.
Even if this were true, it would be no answer
if the bill were demanded by justice and moral
ity No one proposes to repudiate Government
bonds because many of them are held in for
eign countries. So we ought not to steal book
belonging to a, foreign publisher and author
any more than one belonging to natives, and
The principle that an American is entitled to
the undisputed possession Of property Of this
sort is not disputed.
But the fact is az a circular Just issued by
the Authors Copyright League shows, that the
influences now arraycd against the bill are al
most entiIay foreign influences. The most
strenuous opposition comes from London pub
fishers, who complain of the clause requiring
copyrighted book 10y a foreign author to be
manufactured in this country and who have
gone so far as TO petition the British Govern
ment to interfere against the bill. Then there
are the foreign printers, who had representa-
tive in this country during the last year. to
lobby against it because they did not want to
see the work Of setting up such books taken
out of their hands and given to American
printers. Then there are persons here dealing
in prated English writings, which they cleo
trotype and sell to newspapers, thus cutting
the ground from under the feet Of American
writer's These are the main sources Of Oppo-
sition mt this time, rs they are ascertaned and
stated by those most interested in the subject
Therefore the Congressman who obsructs
the passage of this Just measure is not only
working against the interest of American au-
thors, but of American publishers and printers

There is some talk of laying a complete third

project will not be undertaken unless ten-cent
fare is charged on such trains The Man.

such track but there can be no increase In fare
made without the consent Of the Legislature
There are doubtless many persons who would be
willing to pay 10 cents in order to ride in swift
uncrowded trains. Still. there is pretty general
belief that the avenues which are given up to
what once promised to he really rapid transit are
sufficiently occupied by the tracks already IN
existence There not likely to be any more
elevated roads built in this city, unless the right

such roads or underground lines seem to oifer the

In a sensible and patriotic article upon riots
between the races in the South, The Chatta-
nooga Times objects TO the torturing OF a
" neghborhood row" into war OF the races, and
insists that the race problem shall be allowed
to settle itself according to the laws OF progress
and natural selection" We know of no serious
purpose on the part of any one to settle the race
problem by any sudden and artificial means
1t is not suggested because of the altoo-frequent
exhibitions of lawlessness in the South, that
martial law shall obtain nor that extraor-
binary measures OF any sort shall be taken
to protect life and property. The General Gov
eminent does not maintain police force for
the purpose OF restoring quiet in disorderly COM
munites It's duty with regard to the negro
concerns merely the enforcement Of those Consti-

ored voter the rights of American citizenship and
which promise protection in the full exercise OF
them Nc one is disturbed because few drunken
rufians, white and black, engage in street
fight now and then, but the organized and re-
lentless conspiracy among white Democrats In
every Southern State TO set the Constitution at
defiance and to prevent the colored race from
discharging its political obligations is another
matter.
