Even if there were not the reap
portioument OF the state and the alien
land law calling for legislative action
to give the people relief, special ses-
siou should be called to put in effect
the constitutional amendments voted
upou and adopted at the late election.
The Jester amendment and the local
option amendments have probably been
defeated, but the people have declared
by large majorities that they desire
a reform of the laws regulating voting,
that they want the rate of interest re-
duced, and that they would like to have
the superior courts put in better shape
for the dispatch OF business. The two
former amendments cannot be given
effect without legislative action. Such
action cannot be taken until 1893, I'M
less i special session is called. 1t is
slow reforming when the people must
wait two years for the enactment OF
laws that they have demanded by a
popular vote. 4 special session will
give them these reforms in three
months.

1t is quite possible that the suicide Of
Balmaceda suggested to Boulanger that
method Of getting out of his troubles,
Balmaceda, starting out under the most
favorable auspices and apparently with
3 sincere desire for the good of the re-
public of Chill, developed the spirit Of
the military dictator. In his desperate
attempt to subvert government by the
people be was overthrown and driven to
suicide
Boulanger, too, attempted to over
throw government by the people, strik-
ing like a viper at the republic that had
made him Like Balmaceda, Boulanger
failed, and took himself by short cut out
of a world that had no more use for
him. Some such winding up as this
win overtake every man who seeks to
crush liberty among the people and put
their necks under the foot of a dictator,
whether he be car. emperor or military
adventurer.

Az Unfortunate oontroversy.

In 1889 the compulsory school educa-
ton law Of Wisconsin was amended by
q clause which read as follows:
No school shall be regarded as a school
under this act unless there shall be taught
therein, as part Of the elementary education Of
children. reading. writing, arithmetic and
United States history in the English language
This seemed simple enough A sim
lar law was enacted in Illinois, An out
slider could not see at first glance what
was TO be objected to in the act This
is an English speaking country. It is of
the first Importance that young American
citizens shall obtain a correct and ex-
tensive knowledge of their native tongue,
that language which one Of Germany's
greatest scholars and authors. Jacob
Grimm, Of his own free will declares
has right to be the language Of the
world And certain it is, beyond all
doubling, that half a century more win
behold it spoken by a majority Of all the
civilized people on the globe.
Therefore let as have the English Ian
guage pure and undefled, as sweetly
spoken, as correctly pronounced and
written as we can get it. It is true that
many hundred thousands of our best
citizens are natives Of lands where Ian
guages other than, English is the mother
tongue. They cannot help it now. But
they can see to it that their children
shall master English perfectly. That is
one of their first duties, since they have
cast their lot and that of their children
forever in this English speaking land.
It is not at all Of particular importance
whether the children ofGerman. Italian
or Norwegian parents forget or remem-
Der the native tongue of their parents.
It is of the first importance that these
children do learn the story of this re-
public, and its language, government
and institutions So much viii be ad-
mitted by every fair minded person
Very unfortunate. therefore, it was
that the laws In question should in some
way-how, it is hard to see-have drift
ed into a political party question and
even into a theological one, and the con-
troversy became as red hot as only polit-
zeal and theological controversies can
become. One party says the law was
aimed at the original right of parental
control IS opposed to state control Of the
education Of children, and another class
Of opponents declares it aims at nothing
less than striking down religion, while
yet q third contingent avows that it
wants to destroy the private schools al
together and throw a lot of good people
out of their living.
Howsoever these things be, one
fact remains fxeds This is an English
speaking country. In the babel Of
foreign tongues here supreme effort
must be made to educate our young
citizens to a thorough knowledge Of the
language Of the republic. If they can
also learn as an accomplishment French
German. Italian, Swedish or Mecklen-
burgisches Platt-Deutsch, so much the
better. but English first. best and all the
