Public Schools.

With the public school controversy
now in progress in some quarters, we
do not care to mix, but have this
much to say with emphasis to those
who have designs of interference
with them, "hands off of the public
schools" Any attempt to change
the present public school system to
accommodate any sect, denomina-
ton or class of christian believers or
unbelievers must be firmly discoun-
tenanced. Suggestions for improve
ment in the methods of teaching, or
in the conducting of school exercises
conducting to mental and physical
development will always be in order
for considerations but changes in
the organic structure cannot be per-
mitted. The system of free schools
is no longer an experiment; it has
undergone testing in this State of
near forty years, and has been found
adapted to the education of the chill
dren and youth of this common
wealth. The condition of schools in
Wisconsin prior to I84o, contrasted
with their condition after the free
school system went into operation,
shows the inestimable value of the
system. Before the free school sys-
tenn was adopted, it was the practice
to employ teachers at given price
per month, and depend on taxing
the parents and guardians of the
children attending school for the
money necessary to pay the teachers
salaries. A record was kept of every
days attendance of each scholar, and
parents of the children were taxed
their proportionate share of the
school expenses, based on the num-
Der of days their children were in
school during the term. Although
this might seem an equitable way Of

Betting in Washington is quite

There is general impression pre-
vailing that the Democracy will en-
deavor to circumvent their opponents
by some coup at the eleventh hour
that is hoped to influence the floating
and wavering vote. Something on
the Burchard order, perhaps. 1t is
whispered about that this particular
move will possess the magnitude and
originality to arrest the attention of
the nation. This is all that I am at
liberty to state. Let Republicans be
wary and on their guard at all aven-
ueS.
Mr.. Chadsey, of New York, a
prominent patent attorney, is in the

to overcome in New York City.

She is quite prolific writer, and her

The work relative to the reclama-

the Immediate charge of Captain c.
E. Dutton, of the Survey, who is now
actively organizing the necessary

eminently fits him for this work,

and value to the country. The es-
tablishment of reservoirs and the
utilizing of the water of the noun
tains for the purpose of irrigation is
deemed perfectly practicable, and
vast territories of arid lands will in
few years be rendered arabic and

ulation.
For ages the lands of Egypt and
vast portions of Asia have thus been

Few Republican employees OF the

81 Republicans, 38 Democratic, and 10

an idea of the form of voting at cleo

THE POWER OF INTEREST

The power of interest Is the source of the accumulation of wealth in the con trol of the few men called capitalists. A word now in regard to capital: Edward Atkinson has said that "CapitaI creates to itself it's own contribution" The statement is q falsehood. Capital never creates anything, it is simply an instru- ment or substance used by labor, in the creation of new capital or forms of cap ital. All capital now in existence is the saved up and unused product of former labor. All capital, of itself, tends to de cay, not to increase. Houses, machines, railroads, etc., all things created by man, decay with age. They must be re- produced or replaced by skill and labor il IS m thiS reproduction that those who have, by fair or foul means, become owners of undecayed capital, are able by interest and profit (another form of in teresn to accumulate the new products of the living age, and the unused prod | ucts of the past.
 To illustrate: Mir. Donothng, at the age of 2l, falls heir to S4O,OO0 worth of accumulated labor He rents it at per cent, compound interest; in II years it amounts to SS0,00O; in 22 years, to $l6O, ,0GO; in 33 years, to S32O, ,0O0, in ii years, to S6lO ,OOO; in D years, to Sl, 2S0, 00O Mir. Donothing, at 1G years of age, has more than eighty laborers could earn, without spending a dollar, with 55 years work. Yet Mir. Donothing has never done days work for that Sl, 2S0, GOO.
 Mir. Workhard has only his labor it will buy only the necessaries of life, al the average rate of wages. But he would have to work 3,O39 years, without spending a cent, to earn as much as Mr. Donothing's capital would occltauiute by interest in D years.
 Another illustration: Twenty-Five United States Senators are rated a, Sl35, ,000.0 GOO. Twenty two other cti zens are rated at 5000, ,000, GOO, Com bine these two amounts, at 7 per cent, compounded seml-annually, and in ,; years these II citizens will be worth Si 10000, ,OO0, It would require 5l5,96E laborers to earn that amount in 22 years These laborers are the supporters of { population of about 2,5i9. GOO people the It capitalists, at the same rate pel family, of only 220 people, Capital at per cent, compounded semi-annually would require 70 years to double. II U. Merton m "CutSc dnd Chuc,'

pensation, which they would most cer- talnly be very apt to find: Socialists are not infallible, even if elected to office. They are of the same nature as other men. This suggestion of assessing the officers elected would lead such officers into temptation-to become corrupt. The suggestion might be well meant. admit that; but it would most certainly cause corruption and split up the Party. It might work very well for short time, but not for any length of time. The best suggestion 1 would make is this, that the members and friends of the Party keep on agitating until they have convinced more intelligent wealthy men of the correctness of their principles, and who are then willing to contribute some of their wealth for agitation and election purposes, and also to agitate in favor of a better election system than we now have, where no ticket pedlers are needed, and no voters can be inhu- enced who are in the act of casting their votes.

The New Haven Sections of the $. l.. r have voted to participate in the City and Town elections next month, and have appointed a committee to attend to the prelimlnaries.

AFRAID OF THE FRENCH PLAN

AFRAID OF THE FRENCH PLAN. To the H'orkmcH'S ldrocdte:
 In the ADVOCATE of the 3d instant read the suggestion that when the social ists elect their candidates they should give part of their salaries for the agita- tion or election fund of the Party. Now, according to my opinion, this sugges- ton will, if carried out. cause the seed of corruption to be planted right in the very midst of the Socialist Labor Party.
 When the old parties nominate their candidates, each one so nominated by them must contribute certain sum of money into the election fund of the party. Now, when such an assessed candidate Is elected he will most cer- tainly try to make that money up some way or another, by wrongfullv using his power of office or receiving brihes wherever he can. That this is so every one who Is acquainted with politics very well knows.
 Suppose the socialists would elect some of their men to office. Suppose the Party would compel these elected men to give the greater part of their salary to the agitation and election funds. Might not some of these men so assessed look for some method of com
