Parents should not forger that, in these
days of free schools and other eduoa-
tional institutions, the boy who is not
sent to school, will not have an even
start in the race Of life. Such h boy will
not only have to do the drudgery of his
more fortunate fellows, but will be un-
able to protect himself from fraud. The
parent who fails TO educate his son or
daughter, fails to do his duty. The girl
who is allowed to grow up in ignorance,
will probably have to go into somebody
kitchen at starvation wages. Parents
should consider these things, remember
ing that, youth once past, the opportun.
ity is gone, and however greatly they
may afterwards regret the mistake, il
cannot be remedied. Cadet NetCs.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-'There
was a serious misunderstanding
somewhere" says the morning pa
per, referring to the collapse of
the compromise. "Members of
the caucus committee who
had charge of the compromise
insist that they did not in any way
misrepresent the state of feeling
they found at the Treasury depart
ment when they visited Mr.. Car
lille, and that his conversation led
them to believe that the President
would approve the PROPOSE
ton. Secretary Carlisle, on
the other hand, contends he
did not give any assurance
whatever. This will explain some
of the apparent incOngruities of
the situation Friday and Saturday.
Mr.. Carlisle and other members of
the cabinet refused to give any
confirmation of the reports the
president approved, andprOpOsed a
compromise, or that he had chang
ed in anyway from his original
position in favor of the repeal
without any conditions whatever.
The only logical conclusion, there
fore, in view of the developments
of last night and today, is that the
members of the caucus committee
misinterpreted what Secretary
Carlisle said to them"

Senate Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Oct. A.-At half
past II o'clock, Senator Harris,
acting for the Silver Democrats,
informed the Silver Republicans
that the Democrats had concluded,
that after taking all the circum-
stances into consideration, they
had decided that their best course
was to drop the fight against the
repeal bill and allow it to
come to a vote. If this de-
cision is not recOnsidered,
and it does not now seem at
all probable that it will be, the end
of the present fight will be reached
and the result will be in accOr-
dance with the wishes of the Presi-
dent and repeal forces in the
Senate. The silver Republic
cans will not undertake to
prolong the fight beyond the
time necessary to complete
their speeches, and will after that
permit voting to begin upon the
amendments to the bill. 1t is gen.
orally believed that this will take
place before the clos OF the present
week. Still in body which has
shown itself capable Of such rapid
changes as the Senate, no one can
tell what a day may bring forth,
and there is still possibility Of
some rapid transformation which
may prove another change in the

The charter provision to issue
bonds does not include for chart
table purposes, but only for per-
manent improvements. There has
been too much of the peoples
money spent for mud streets, brush
cutting, etc. If this administra-
tlon does not want to go down to
history as a lamentable failure
they must plant their feet firmly
upon measures of permanent i'm
prOVement.

of purpose, etc, yet his measure is
so impracticable, so unwise, that it
is likely to be misjudged. People
will think it was all for buncOmb,
when really he meant it all for the
best.
If tomorrow such a measure
were to pass, and it was given out
that our city had 100000 to spend
on unemployed persons, there
| would be a rush from every town
on the other side of the Rio Grande
