COMPULSORY EDUCATOR.

EDITOR BuLLETTN:-
! fail to see strong argument in
favor of reducing the age of COM
pulsory school attendance of child
rem to thirteen instead of fifteen
years, The only plea advanced by
the proposers of the measure was
that Portuguese with large families
needed the earnings and help of
their children.
Under the present school laws,
children attending public schools
can be hired to do any honest work
q number of hours every day in the
week, excepting the Sabbath. The
proposers of the new scheme-which
happily for the country was "sat
on' so hard it can't revive inside of
two years-can easily get children
to work on their plantations by APP
plying to their respective district
school authorities according to the
present law.
Fifteen years ago it was no I'M
common sight to find the school room
regularly vacated at twelve, and,
with the teacher for the luna, the
school, boys and girls, working
away in cane fields till pm, at
two cents an hour per pupil. l be-
lieve this course, which once was
the practice, was condemned be-
cause it interfered with the studies,
or, at least, it never did suit the
ideas of our newly imported but pro-
gressive teachers.
Perhaps if our schools were
taught in the mother language of
the large majority of our school
children, i.e., Portuguese and Ha-
waiian, the proposed measure would
do little or no injury, but when a
difficult foreign language is being
taught it is almost like compelling
the lower classes of our citizens to
remain in their ignorance.
During my eSperience-only ten
years-at school teaching in the
country districts, l found native
children do not begin to intelligent
ly comprehend their English studies
till well inAhe eighth year of their
ages. Can Portuguese children learn
the strange language sooner? My
experience is, they are slower, less
apt, than the Hawaiian.
The proposer of the scheme stated
on the floor of the House his motives
were the public good, not personal
interest, yet he was directly interest
ed in sugar plantations, the only
place where so many boys Gas the
law proposed would free) could get
employment.
Another supporter of the measure
depicted the boyhood trials of Abra-
ham Lincoln, and argued, "com-
pulsory education was unnecessary
to develop worthy men," yet, Lin
coin himself with his hard earned
experience never advised his coun-
trymen to treat their sons as he had
been treated, and, however greatly
he wished his son to become worthy,
he never even attempted to put i'll
his sons way little of the priva-
tions he had once endured.
l do not see, and never saw, a
danger in compelling children to at
tend school till they are fifteen.
With our mixed population it is de-
sirable, for many reasons, -, manifest
to any thinking man, that children
should attend school till their fif-
teenth year. Our School Inspector
is my authority for saying "the
nine years of school attendance
now to be had only carries the great
majority of the children, Portuguese
and Hawaiian, through the fourth
into the fifth year course of study
prescribed by the Board of Educa.

FATAL COLLISION.

Collision Between q Pay Car and Freight
Train on the Council Bluff Road-One
Man Killed and Several Injured.
RUsHvILLE. Mo-, June 20.-The pay
train and regular freight train came
together in a head-end collision at
Rushville switch. on the Kansas
City, st. Joseph & Council Bluffs
railroad yesterday at 9:1a o'clock,
resulting in the death of l. w.
Yocum, the engineer of the pay
train, aud the wounding of the conduct
or, roadmaster, assistant roadmaster
and porter.
A correspondent visited the scene Of
the accident and interviewed the train
men. Engineer J. F. Cole, of the
freight. says he had run through from
st. Joseph without stop and had come
to almost stop, preparatory to backing
in on the switch to get out of the way
of the regular north-bound passenger
train. He was on time and had no
knowledge of the coming of the pay
train until he saw it dashing around
slight curve. Yocum evidently mag
ined that the freight train was on the
switch out of the way, as he made no eff
fort to stop until he had nearly reached
the switch.
Cole and his fireman jumped, as did
George Coaler, the fireman of the pay
train, and Charles Montague, another
fireman who was on board, but Yocum
stuck to his post and went down in the
wreck. When taken out his body and
head were scalded to pulp and one leg
was off.
The two locomotives telescoped and
the tender of the freight engine was
driven into car of twenty-four horses
just behind it killing eighteen of them
outright The pay car escaped damage.
The injured are: Pritchard, conduct
or of the pay train, bruised about the
shoulders; Joseph Hayward, roadmas-
ter, serious injuries in the back; Dan
Bartlett, assistant roadmaster, ribs
broken; colored porter, head hurt

OATS IN a BAD WAY.

The Farmers Review on the Condition Of
the Crops.
CHICAGO, June 1S.-The Farmers Re-
view says: Correspondence from the
thirteen States covered by our crop re-
ports show that rains have been album
dant and timely all over the territory,
save in portions of Kansas and Nebras-
ka- In the litter State drought still
prevails in two southern tiers Of
counties Local showers have fallen
in other parts of the State, but not
sufficient for the best growth of crops.
In Kansas majority of the counties in
the central and western portion of the
State need rain. In the eastern part of
the State heavy showers have fallen
and crops already show the beneficial
effects. Since our last report the out
look for the oat crop has materially
changed. In Illinois, Missouri and
Kentucky thousands of acres have been
completely destroyed by the grain plant
louise. This in connection with early
and prolonged drought in the West and
Northwest, bids fair to reduce the crop
from 20 TO 25 per cent. below the average
yield. At this date Wisconsin appears
TO be the only State in the above men
toned territory that is likely to harvest
a full crop. Wheat also has been dam
aged by the grain plant louise, but to
less extent than oats

BLAINE ON FREE SUGAR.
The Secretary Explains His Views on the
Sugar Tariff

AUGUSTA, Me-, June 1s.-The follow
ing letter from Secretary Blaine was re-
ceived in this city by ex-Mayor Coney.
WASHINGTON, June IS My Dear Sir:
have your favor of the 18th inst. You are in
error in supposing that 1 am opposed to
sugar being admitted free of duty. My OBJ
lection is not to free sugar, but to the pro-
posed method of max ing it free. IL, in the
pending Tariff bill, sugar is placed upon the
free list we give to certain countries free
market for ss5, 900 of their products,
while they are not asked to open
their markets to the free admission
of single dollar of American prod
ucts. We ought to have, in exchange
for free sugar from certain countries, a free
market for breadstuffs and provisions, be-
side various fabrics from all parts of our
country. In short. we ought to secure in re-
turn for free sugar a market for $50, 600. 600 or
$4,000 600 worth of our own products. It
will not require reciprocity treaties to Sc
cure this great boon. The Tariff bill can
contain all the necessary conditions. The
legislative power is able to secure the de-
sired end. Within the last twenty years we
have given the countries south of US free
admission, for nearly 6OOO0,0l0 worth of
their products without receiving penny's
advantage in exchange. II sugar be now
made Internationally free We shall have
given to the Latin. American countries free
admission for Sl50OI0,00O of their products.
II is time, think. to look out for reciprocal
advantages. We are a very T eh nation but
not rich enough to trade on this unequal
basis. In great haste, sincerely yours,

SOME HOPE.

A Possibility That the Imprisoned PennsyI-
vsnia Miners May Be Saved.
DUNBAB, Pa, June 20-At four o'clock
yesterday afternoon the men working in
the head of the entry in the mine where
thirty-two men are imprisoned sent
word down the entry to keep quiet
Every one did so, and in a moment
''pick, pick" for dozen times came the
signal from the inside. Then the men
went to work with renewed vigor.
The imprisoned miners can not be
reached for twenty-four hours yet. The
rescuing party is within a few feet OF
the line leading from the Mahoning to
the Hill Farm mine. But after that is
reached the men will have to drive
through seventy-fve feet of coal. The
best authorities in the rescuing party
hold that it will be after twelve o'clock
to-day before the men will be reached
Bert Wormley, superintendent of the
mine, seen at his house last evening,
said: Il was sitting down the heading
a short way when the word was passed
to keep quiet OF course, kept quiet
and then the word came from the face
OF the heading that faint rapping
could be heard We can not reach them
for twenty-four hours vet.

A CIairvoyant's Victim.

KINGSTON, Y. Y, June 1sJames
Smell wealthy farmer of Fordsbush,
has been pronounced insane and placed
in the Utica asylum. Some years ago
Mr.. Smell employed a clairvoyantnamed
Mrs DR.. Xix, to attend and advise him.
She told him he should keep a colt he
had in box stall for sixteen years and
he would then receive $40, 600 for the
animal The horse has been kept
locked in its stall for fourteen years
Mr.. Smell is still under the delusion
that he is to get $40, 900. This and other
foolish predictions of the female clair
voyant constantly preyed upon his mind.

DEATH TO BACTERIA.

CoGee Discovered to He o Good and Eco
nomical Disinfectant.
An old negro living in district where
the disease often prevailed, once told
the writer that one of the best pre-
ventive measures against yellow fever
was infusion Of coffee. Some years ago
he passed through an epidemic Of that
grave malady under the worst possible
conditions For at least a month he oc-
cupied the quarters of large number
OF sufferers, passing night and day
among them, eating and sleeping in
their midst
Recalling the homely advice given
him, he faithfully tried coffee as an
antiseptic and drank freely of a very
strong infusion five or six times day,
and continued the practice all the time
he was under exposure. He was for
tunate enough to escape contagion, but
never attached much importance to the
use of the coffee. Considering the re-
suits of recent developments, it would
seem that the old negro was right in at
tributing antiseptic properties to it.
A series of experiments conducted by
German professor has proved that
they are quite marked. Several differ
ent forms of intestinal bacteria were
experimental upon, and their develop
ment and growth were found in all
cases to be interfered with by the addi-
ton of small quantity of coffee infu-
sion to nutrient gelatin. In pure infu-
sion the bacteria were rapidly de-
stroyed.
The question as to what constituents
exercise the antiseptic effect can not
yet be fully determined. The caffeine
is certainly active in only a slight de-
gree; the tannin to somewhat greater
extent; but, presumably, of greatest i'm
portance are the substances that are de-
veloped by roasting. 1t is interesting
to note that cup of coffee, left in a
room for a week or more, remains al
most free from micro-organisms-

ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
Kellogg Advises Coz


Attorney-Generai Kellogg Advises Con-
tinped Prosecution
ToPEKA, Kan, June 20.-Judge Csld-
wells decision has had tendency to
give an impetus to the original package
business and houses are being opened
all over the State Hon. P. p. Cochran,
In consequence of this, sent letter to
Attorney-General Kellogg in which he
asked IL there was any remedy what
ever under the recent decision of Judge
Caldwell
After discussing the question Of what
constitutes an original package At
torney-General Kellogg in his reply said:
These unusual and extraordinary methods
OF importations are q shift and a device for
the purpose of evsdlng the laws of the State
Of Kansas. I do not think the United States
Supreme Court IL prepared to go to the
length OF unfolding this method of importa-
ton and sale for the purpose of violating
the Prohibitory law of this State as author
lied by its decision.
I understand that In some instances the
agency claimed Is a mere subterfuge, and
that in fact the dealer purchases his liquors
and sells them on his own account, but that
some sort of an understanding exists with
the Wholesale house from which he gets the
liquors that he is to be permitted to adver-
tise as their agent in making the sales.
it il my advice to watch carefully every
man who assumes to sell Intoxicating
liquors in Original packages or otherwise
In your county. and promptly commence
proceedings against him by injunction, and
under the criminal statutes.
Judge Caldwell intimated in the course OF
the hearing, as / understand, that a party
who buys an original package of intoxicat-
ing liquors may with IMMUNITY drink the
same upon the premises. The decision of
the United States Supreme Court goes to the
extent of saying that the act of i'm
portation under the commerce clause
of the United states Constitution does
not cease until the importer made the first
sale of the liquor in the unbroken, original
Packages in which it was imported. But il
goes no further. At the conclusion of the
sale there would be the purchaser with the
unbroken package of liquor in his posses
sion, but both he, the purchaser and the
liquor in his hand are subject to the police
power of the State, and so is the building in
which the sale was made. IL the liquor is
permitted to be drunk on the premises, the
place immediately becomes a nuisance I'M
der the Prohibitory law and it may be abated
as such and the keeper thereof punished
criminally for keeping and maintaining such
nuisa-ce.
1t is my yew that, notwithstanding the
"original package" decision, the duty of the
people of Kansas and the proper law officials
in each county is to still continue to enforce
the Prohibitory law in all proper ways and
with increased diligence and activity. Let
it be made uncomfortably dangerous for
every person who assumes to sell intoXicat-
ing liquors for the purpose of a beverage in
the State of Kansas, whether under the guise
of selling in Original packages" or other
