HUNTING THE BRlBE-TAKERS.

The citizens committee OF New Orleans
have filed supplementary charges against
the Mayor. 1t was found On further in
vestigation that he had violated the very
ordinances that he had signed. Among
others was one requiring that proposals
for contracts should be advertised. The
Mayor found it convenient to let contracts
to his friends without notice. The charge
is that these contracts we're corruptly
made. The citizens committee have gone
after other mem bers of the municipal gov
eminent, and have at least brought them
to the bar of public opinion.
Detroit and Milwaukee have also been
calling corrupt officials to account, while
in New York the Lexow committee has
brought to light an amount of municipal
corruption that has astonisbed the old resi-
dents of that city. The investigation is
still going Oh. The hunting of BRIDE
takers is the first step in New York to-
ward reform.
In this city the bribe-takers took TO
cover early. But there is always settling
day. Tie Non-Partisans were called to
the front and have gone about their work
with the old-time vigor. II was only nee
essary for an independent organization to
initiate the work when there was a sur
prising rally of citizens against all the
corrupt elements that we're seeking for

THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

a recent article in THE CALL urging
the claim of the primary and gramm ar
schools TO more favorable consideration by
the Board Of Education seems to have
touched a responsive chord, both among
teachers and parents. While there is no
objection expressed to what are termed
secondary schools, there is very decided
expression of opinion that the primary
and grammar schools should not be
neglected. On the other hand, there are
professional educators who seem to think
that the primary aud grammar schools are
OF secondary importance. a propos ton
came before the Alameda County Teach
ers' Institute to take one year from the
grammar schools and TO attach it TO th e
primary high schools. which inspired Mr..
R. d. Faulkner. principal OF the Potrer0
School, to say:
do not wish to be considered as inimlcaI to
secondary schools. The question of higher
education is no longer debatable. 1t is the
fixed and settled policy OF both the nation au
he State 10 foster it; but when II comes to
lengthening the high school course at the ex-
pense of the elementary schools it is not, In my
opinion in accordance with the wishes of the
American people. Every year that is added
TO tile high school grades at the expense of
the grades below them is not in the interest of
the majority of pupils in attendance on the
public schools.
The proposition to take year from the
grammar schools and add it to the high
school is supported on the ground that the
last year in the grammar schools is de-
voted to studies preparatory TO admission
into the high school. The remedy is to
change the course of study in the last year
of the grammar schools. That year should
be the com pleton of a public school course
of study, rather than the beginning of a
higher course. A very small percentage of
the pupils enrolled in the lowest grammar
grades continue the four-year course, for
the reason that the last year is OF little
practical use to them.

EATING CROW.

The Chronicle is pleased with the work
of the Burns municipal convention. In
that respect there is a wide difference OF
opinion between the Burns organ and the
masses of the Republican party. 1t is
especially pleasant to note the feeling OF
exultation with which the nomination OF
Mr. Ebert is regarded by our MIN bic con-
temporary. Two years ago Mr.. Ebert was
regarded as bad man. This year she has
well earned the honor of reelection y
But the same influences which nominated
Mr.. Ellert two years ago compelled the
Burns convention to indorse tie original
nomination of the Non-Psrtisans. No one
is deceived by the concentrations DOW
being showered upon Mr.. Ebert by the
Burns crowd. Mr.. Ebert will be knitted by
that crowd. but his majority will not there
by be materially diminished.

THE MOONS ALTITUDE.

Editor Call - DEAR SIR: September %,
1894. AT $3.50 A. NJ. the moon had the highest
north declination of any time within period
OF hfty-seven years or two lunar cycles, viz.
2S' a. 49,. 1t was then about 81 south OF our
zenith, an unwonted altitude In this latitude.
The highest declination OF the last cycle. viz.
2S' 49, 29", attained March 81 1876. was A"
lower than that Of the half-moon of the morn
ing of September %.
Friday. October 5. 1894. the moon will be
In south declination 2S' 49, 39", and It's alti-
tude when on the meridian at about p. N.
VIII be lower than at any time when on the
meridian during the last eighteen and a half
years.
AS the moons decllnation depends on the
gradually changing positions OF the lunar nodes
the extremes are not abrupt.
On August 25 and September S last the altl-
tudes were respectively higher and lower than
usual. though not equal to those Of the dates
mentioned above.
In like manner an approach to the extremes
will also be witnessed in the positions OF the
gibbous moon OF the morning OF October 10
and OF the crescent of the evening of Novem-

WILL BLOW OVER,

When England and Germany adopted
the gold standard they gave hostages to
the world that they would keep the peace.
Every dollar the two governments owe
and every dollar that divisions, counties
and municipalities within them owe is
payable in gold. There is gold enough to
answer all purposes SO long as peace pre-
walls and confidence is maintained, but
there is not enough to last week If a
demand should set in for 1t. The political
system Of all Europe is on war basis, but
the finances of all Europe are on a peace
basis. The great banking-houses will not
permit war. They are drawing interes.
on hundred times the amount of real
money under their control. and they 10
not want these conditions disturbed.
France is differently situated. That coun-
try has immense stores of silver. which ia
maintained. as with US, on a gold valua-
ton. But the Bank of France has always
reserved and often exercised the right to
redeem Obligations in silver. In the event
of European war il would bring all its
silver into use at parity with gold. Eng.
land has little silver and consequently
would nnt ha pa" II relieved by a change

TO RECOVER SUGAR BoUNTIEs.

The Louisiana sugar-planters and the
maple-sugar producers OF Vermont, ac-
cOrding 10 a recent report, are about to
sue for mandamus directing the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury to pay the bounty on
sugar for the present fiscal year. 1t is also
understood that the beet-Sugar manufac-
turers of this State will make common
cause with Eastern sugar-growers TO Sc
cure their share OF the bounty.
The Mckinley law provided that
bounty of cents pound should be paid
on sugar of American production from
July 1, 1891, TO July /, 1905.
The present law. which repeats the Nc
Kinlev act. took effect August %. At
that time the beet-sugar factories in this
State were in full operation, with the
prospect of producing more sugar than in
any former year. The acreage of beets
had been greatly extended. Farmers had
begun to harvest the crop at an average
return of IS ton. When the new law
took effect few hundred tons of sugar
had already been manufactured In this
State, on which the bounty could be COL
lected. The suspension of the bounty
after the 28th of August will make diff
ference, by estimate, to our beet-sugar
manufacturers of not less than S250,0
That is part of their case. They hold,
in common with the cane-sugar producers
of Louisiana and the maple-sugar men of
Vermont that they have good equitable
grounds for the recovery of the bounty on
sugar produced during the present year.
The contracts for beets were made in this
State six months before the bounty was
repealed, and on the old basis producers of
beet sugar took ont licenses on the 1st of
July last to make sugar under the McKin-
ley act.
The maple-sugar men of Vermont pro-
duced their crop last spring. Licenses
were taken out and all the provisions of
the law were complied with. In this in
stance some of the Dounties were paid and
some were nos. The reason assigned for
the delay was that funds in the treasury
were low. Since the repeal Of the bounty
the maple-sugar men have been unable to
collect the arrears. tie Secretary of the
Treasury declining to pay out any more
money. 1t is reported that Vermont under
this ruling viii lose not less than $3.50, 600.
The loss of the bounty on beet sugar in
California will make a difference to the
beet-growers of half dollar ton. They
have heretofore received an average of SIS
ton. 1t is announced that for the product
of the coming year the price will be 81 30
ton. The farmers who voted for Cleve-
land and free trade will now have an Illus
tration of its benefits brought home in a
practical way.
