materially when they had their big fight for
admission.

OUR PUBLIC

There is one portion Of the governors
message which must be matter Of sat
isfaction to the people Of Montana, no
matter what their individual shade Of
political color may be. No question sits
nearer the hearts OF the citizens OF our
great country than the prosperity and
improvement Of the public schools. It
is gratifying to know that Montana
holds her own, and that there is abund-
ant evidence OF steady progress from
year to year. AS the governor we'll puts
it, the public school in Montana is the
great popular institution Of the state.
The figures he gave are not only inter
esting but instructive. Thirty thousand
is the estimated number OF school chill
dren within our boundaries. In school
property we have invested the hand
some sum of 100000, and this does
not include the value of the numerous
private and parochial enterprises that
are helping to train the presidents of
the future. The total amount received
for 1889 from taxation and other sources
for school purposes was nearly $4,000.
We may fairly claim that this is a re-
markable showing for the second year
of statehood.
The state has a compulsory law, but
it has not been generally observed, and
no prosecutions have been instituted
under it. That is a mistake. 1t may
reasonably be inferred that the law was
not placed upon the statute book with
out a full and fair discussion OF its
necessity, its ACCESSIBILITY and its adj
vantages. There are few parents OF
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-01-09

guardians in the state who are not wide
awake TO seize the educational oppor-
tunities presented TO their children,
Wherever and whenever such benighted
beings do exist, the law should certainly
be put in force, and the possibilities Of
a continuation OF the breed minlmized.
Germany has II magnificent showing,
the result of compulsory education, az
may be seen from recent statistics Of
the military department. For the year
1S9O-9l, but few of the recruits are
illiterates. This is true avon of the
eastern provinces OF Prussia, where the
sparsely settled condition OF the Polish
population makes it exceedingly difficult
to enforce the law. In East Prussia,
since 1880, the number OF illiterate
recruits has fallen from 7.02 per cent. to
2.49 per cent; in West Prussia, from
$50 to 3.26; Posen. from 9.9l to 3; Sile-
sia, from 2.2S to O.84. Even nine years
ago the other provinces OF Prussia had a
better showing than these We have
mentioned, but even their small margin
IS rapidly disappearing. Westphalia has
decreased from 059 per cent. to Dol;
Hesse-N Nassau from O.22 to O.O9. Rhenish
Prussia had 0,23, now it has O.O4. Wies
baden is represented by 0 per cent. OF
the n-Prussian states, Saxony and
Wurtemberg had amongst their recruits
not one illiterate. For several years
Wurtemberg has done herself equal
honor, but Saxony enters the charmed
circle for the first time. Bavaria has it's
illiterates, 0.0S in the Catholic Highland
districts. Hesse is represented by 0 and
Baden be 002. These figures furnish
most conclusive proof Of the advantages
OF a compulsory school law, wisely and
firmly administered, and we commend
them to the attention Of our legislators,
teachers and the public at large.

REASON.

The daily Russell Harrison Of Jan. 2
said:
With the meeting of the legislature next
Monday 1.-THE perplexities of last winters
deadlock will again be- upon u.s." remarks
The INDEPENDENT. WhyY The perplexities
of last winters deadlock we're settled by the
action of the legally constituted house OF
representatives in seating the five members
in controversy from Silver Bow county.
From neither a legal nor a moral stand
point can the case be reopened. n 4
The smoothe sophistry Of the Bourbon
malcontents-their easy approach to Com
promise" propositions is in the line with
the characteristic strategy of the demo-
cratic leaders.
This outburst was occasioned by the
suggestion in The INDEPENDENT of the
previous day that with each party
having twenty five men whose seats were
not in dispute, and each claiming five
seats that were in dispute, the condi-
tions we're favorable to an adjustment
OF difficulties. Now comes the daily
II. Fl. Of Jan. 8 with this remarkable
iopover:
While no overtures for a compromise have
as yet been formally made by either party
there is a strong and growing sentiment
that the legislative difficulties must and
will be speedily adjusted. The extraordi-
nary conditions that would confront the
state in default of legislation, demands
that all political ambitions, party tactics,
partisan purposes and private grievances
be thrust aside for the public good. To dc
this involves no violation Of law, no sur.
render of principle. It implies only caucus
consent on the part of the two political
organizations 70 some plan Of compromise
honorable to each.
We congratulate Mr.. Russell Harrison
on the agility with which he has turned
his summersault and landed inside the
ring. 1t is something to be proud OF
not to be more than o n week behind

The Butte Inter-Mountain says: What
ever Coy. Toole does he does we'll. Tho
message which he read yesterday to a select
party of democrats gathered in the capital
to defy the law and retard legislation. was
very ably prepared, being perhaps the best
document of the kind ever issued from the
executive office i'll Montana. Some Of its
recommendations are excellent, some are
extremely vicious; but as an essay upon the
condition of the state, it is in many re-
spects a most admirable paper.
