the sheriff bad trouble in opening The gate,

SECONDARY EDUCATION.

From the Lawrence Tribune.
At the last session OF the National Ed
vocational association, a committee was
appointed by the National Council of
Education to ascertain what advantages
the rural population of the United States
had for attaining higher education. Of
this committee Prof. j. II. Garfield was
made chairman and he has just sub
mitted an abstract of the report that the
committee will make to the association
in session at Nashville.
Circulars were addressed by the COM
mittee to state and county superintend-
ents throughout the United States, and
also to many other prominent educators
whose work is such as to give them
abundant knowledge as.to the opportun-
tiles of the rural population" for higher
education.
Reports have been received from two
hundred and sixty-three correspondents,
representing almost if not quite every
state and territory. From these reports
the abstract is made up, and it contains
some very valuable and Interesting infor-
nation. Ii shows that there is no sys-
TEN in any of the states for providing
higher education for the rural popula-
ton, and that the mass is dependent on
chance or upon the favor of some city
for higher education. That neither OPP
portunity or inducements for securing
secondary or higher education are Of
fered. That when it has been attempted
to furnish such opportunity no'effort has
so far been successful, for the reasons
that the territory has been generally too
limited, the organization incomplete,
the work irregular and the people who
are, or should be, the most interested
have had no voice in the control Of the
schools.
From all this the committee draws con-
illusions and makes suggestions as TO the
remedies 20 be applied IN order that
secondary or higher education shall be
brought within the reach of the people
who do not reside in the cities or larger
towns.
Among other things the committee
SAYS that the district school should be
graded. The grade reached by the dis
trict school should be limited TO the low
est grade recognized by the secondary
school. The schools should be free
schools and not fee schools They should
be as near as possible to the homes OF
these TO whom they minister, The ones
who are TO be benefited should have a
voice in the management OF the schools.
and the institutions should be established
and maintained IN q fixed, sure and sys-
tematic manner. The schools should be
so graded that the highest class would
reach TO the standard required for ad-
mission TO the freshman class OF the col
leges and universities OF the state. The
committee recommends that the law
should be mandatory in reference TO the
establishment and maintenance Of at
least one high school In each county.

fitted, nor will the railroads carry any
more grain, In fact the railroads are
suffering as well as the farmers.
This species of gambling should be
wiped out of existence. 1t is not bene-
fitting the farmers, but it is injuring the
railroads, and Chicago is growing rich at
the expense of the whole country. The
farmer should have at all times from 50
cents to 81 per bushel for his wheat.
Our working people are paid well enough
on an average to use wheat that costs 81
per bushel.

TRUSTS AND STRIKES.

There has been great deal Of criti-
cism in the press and among politicians
as to the dangerous tendency of corpora
tons throughout the country to unite
their properties-pool their interests as it
were-into trust combinations with
large, aggregate capital. Such combi-
nations of capital, it Is assumed by those
who criticise the situation, is dangerous
to the interests of the people and conse-
quently in conflict with the republi-
can theory of our government. 1t is
only within the past few years that
these large trust combinations have gone
into effect, but they seem to be rapidly
absorbing the various manufacturing
and other industries throughout the
land.
In justification of these trust combines
the parties in interest, those who put
their brains and money into build
ing up the manufacturing and other en-
terprises of the country say that they
enter into these trust combinations as
simple matter Of preservation; that the
arbitrary and unjust action of labor or
carnations at times so embarrasSeS and
cripples their individual enterprises that
they are compelled to combine with
other industries Of like character for
mutual protection against labor strikes
and boycotts.
On the other hand the representatives
the labor organizations assert, and with
quite as much show of reason, that they
are driven to such action as their only
means Of defense against the arbitrary
and unjust actions of corporations and
trust combinations.
If this be the correct diagnosis Of the
situation it would seem that in the light
of the past history of the world there
could, in time, be but one result of a
conflict between strikers and boycotters
on the one side and a combination of
business interests on the other. But why
need there be any conflict between labor
and business interests?
The prosperity of both is promoted by
working together in harmony to advance
their mutual interests. Bad advice and
WOlSS ltuiJGl OlttIi IiOHOhS otAAhSo 'iiie
are entirely unwarranted and unjust,
and grasping avarice on the other hand
at times produces discomfort, want and
suffering.
As remedy for the evils, and
both are admitted to be great
ones, though claimed by each
to be necessary, it is suggested that ma
tional and state boards of arbitration be
created, somewhat after the style of the
interstate commerce commission, with
power to arbitrate and settle all disputes
and differences arising between labor or
carnations and combinations of bust
ness interests. The objection to this
method of adjustment of difficulties and
conflicts that are continuously arising, is
that it is step, and a pretty long one,
in the direction of government control of
the country's industries. matter that
the country is far from being ready for
at this time, if it ever shall be.

A MAMMOTH SCHEME.

The reported purchase of the Alton
road by the Missouri Pacific, whether
true or not, is most plausible rumor.
Having worked its way into Kansas City
from the south and west, and the Alton
having that point for its southwestern
terminus, neither of which roads can
afford to stop there with the Rock Island
and Santa Ee composing the objective
points Chicago and the southwest with
their through lines, which the others
only cover jointly. Such a consumma-
ton seems to be a matter of necessity on
the part of bsth. Such deal will be
a heavy blow at the Santa Fe, and per-
feet deadener to Kansas City. The
strongest hope, if not the only one, Kan
sas City had of maintaining its import
ence, if not its very existence as a trade
center, has been in the Alton and
". p. continuing their business as
heretofore, making that point common
termini for their east and west business
between the lakes and the southwest.
The new alliance, which seems to be not
only natural but a matter of necessary
mutual self defence, if consumated puts
an end to the bulk breaking scheme to
which Kansas City attached SO much
importance. The failure of the south
western association to come to an I'M
derstanding in regard to through rates
from the southwest to Chicago, ques-
ton that has monopolized the attention
of the members of the association the
past few days, is very likely accounted
for in this new departure which, if
carried into effect, will no doubt work
radical revolution in the rate problem of
of the west. 1t is the biggest thing that
has been even talked of in the west for
several years and affords ground for
speculations for the future without end.
