WASHINGTON, April 9.-The House
Committee on Invalid Pensions this morn
ing took final action upon the SeLate bill
known as the Dependent Pension BILL
Some verbal amendments were made to
the first section relating to the claims OF
dependent parents, but none of them
materially changed the effect of the sec
ton. A substitute was adopted for the
second section. which is the principal
section of the bill The substitute pro.
yides pension for all persons who have
served in the military or naval service OF
the United States for any period, aud
who have been honorably discharged,
and who are now or who may hereafter
be suffering from mental or physical disa-
bility. not the result of their own vicious
habits, which totally disables them from
the performance of manual labor. at the
rate per mouth of one cent for every days
war service. 1t further provides the
same pension for all persons who are
sixty-two years of age, or who may here
alter become sixty-two years of age for

Section 3 was amended so as to provide

Of $40. The element of dependency
placed in the Grand Army bill by the
Senate was eliminated so that all soldiers
are to be pensioned for their services
equally, without regard TO their financial
condition and according to the per diem
idea. The amendments were adopted by
a strict party vote, the Republicans fav-
oring the provisions of the Senate bill,
so that the amended bill may be regarded

A curious story of superstition comes
from Omaha. During marriage cere
mouy in Justices office the brides
mother rushed in and told the magistrate
to stop moment. She looked at the
carpet on the floor and said: Judge, am
a little supersGitious; which way do the
cracks run in this floor?' This was
puzzler for the Judge, but being of an
accommodating spirit he ripped up about
two yards Of the carpet, and found that
the seams of the floor ran crosswjse of
the feet of the young couple he was
about TO unite. The position of the bride
and groom was changed. The old lady
gave sigh of relief and the ceremony
proceeded.

coMpULsoRY EDUCATION.

All children who ought to go to
school do not go to school. There
is large uneducated class in this
state and a considerable number in
our county that are either IRON
some cause debarred from attending
or do not attend on their own &C
cord. The attendance upon our
schools does not keep pace with the
advance in population. Many pa
rents deprive their children of the
means of becoming educated. The
uneducated class is growing larger :
then the police force is growing
larger In ratio; our reformatories
are keeping pace, and all our final
institutions are charging; taxes for
their support are growing steadily
larger and the burdens will grow
heavier. We shall keep right on
advancing in all these directions
This is surely not a cheerful pros
pect, for while we are advancing in
this direction we are retrograding in
another direction. Human life will
grow less secure, property less valu
able; it will be less and less easy to
get reliable young men and women
in responsible places; churches will
be less frequented, devotion to duty
less common. In fact there will be
less and less in the world, less
worth living for. This is not {
cheerful prospect, so that advance
either way we find that we bring ur
at the same gulf. This is a little
ideal, we confess, but true, never
theless. If we have a compulsory
educational law would it not bt
quite beneficial to non attendants al
school? Not only in this state but
in all the states let the state super
intendents take hold of this subject
in earnest and endeavor to secure
the enactment of laws that will have
as firm a grip as other necessary
laws have. We have talent enough
to frame laws in other departments
of legislative work. Let the same
talent be exercised here and thu
thing will he done.
