OUR PUBLICS SCHOOLS.

The rules and regulations Of the Albany
public schools have been revised by the
board of directors assisted by Prof Tyree,
and are just from the press. The rules are
up with the times, and are reasonable. The
course OF study is the best that can be se-
cured. Some pointed and pertinent sug-
gestions 10 teachers are included in the
pamphlet. The following to the patrons
of the school explains the situation and
outlines the policy Of the school:
Owing to the increase in population of
our schools in the last few years, the neces-
sty of building and furnishing a new
school building, the employment of more
teachers and the consequent division of
grades into more classes, ii has been nee
essary to revise the rules and course of
study to more fully meet the requirements
OF our new conditions.
We recognize also the progress and
higher development Of educational rethods
and systems. and have therefore made such
changes in the regulations and course of
study as were necessary to favorable COM
| parison with the best systeme Of our conn
try.
| We have recommended the use Of sup
Elementary work in all the Grades, and
have designated some books for both
teacher and pupil and have left others to
/ the selection Of principal and teachers. II
Is evidert that pupils should have more
reading matter than is furnished in the or.
dinary text books.
In making these suggestions We think ws
think We have imposed no hardships upon
any one, but have kept in mind the vel
fare OF all concerned; and we ask your
hearty cooperation in all our efforts 10 adj
vance the interests of our school. You car

Shows Its Hoary Head.

A dispatch from Grand Island, Neb.,
quoses Henry J Oxnard as sending the fol.
lowing dispatch to the manager Of his
beet sugar factory at Grand Island:
lowing to tariff legislation it is more
than probable that only one Of the Me-
braska factories will be operated this sea-
son, 1t being absolutely necessary to prac
tice the strictsst economy. Regulate mat
ters accordingly"
This is brazen imposition. The truth
is that the Sugar Trust, and not tariff leg
islation, is what makes probable the oper-
alton of only one factory" The Globe
knows whereof it speaks when it says that
the 0xnard beet sugar factories at Grand
Island are controlled by the Sugar Trust.
The Globe has obtained this information
from source that leaves no room for
doubt as TO its truthfulness. The Sugar
Trust has decided to reduce the volume Of
production of domestic sugars In order
that it may unload It's 500,C COO tons of raw
sugar imported raw and free under the old
law, and to he refined from time to time,
upon the people at n tremendous profit.
The sooner the Trust unloads its great
cargo the sooner it will realize fully upon
its enormous speculation and to this en-
the Trust will hold down the production
of domestic sugar to tie lowest possible
limit, When MIR 0xnard attempts TO make
the people believe that the present tariff
law is inimical TO domestic sugar produc-
tion be undertakes task infinitely great
and can only hope 10 deceive where ignor-
ance has not given away to intelligence,
The old law gave the beet sugar producer'
cents pound subsidy. The new laS
removes this subsidy but imposes a dut,
on all competitive sugars watch averages
above 40 per cent. This duty Is almos
equivolen, TO the 2 cent subsidy, in fact
in the matter of shutting out competition
and giving monopoly of the home busi-
ness it will be found even better servant
Ii is no doubt true that the best suga
manufactured at Grand Island is not .
good as the average article. Its sac-ha
rinic qualities are inferior and il neithe
sweetens nor dissolyes to tue extent of th
higher grade sugar. This may have some
thing TO do with ''tke operation Of onl
one factory" but the real cause is that th
Sugar Trust controls these factories an
would not operate that one until it un'
loaded its big stock, were it no, for fea
of being found out and for fear of outrage
public opinion. Council Bluffs Globe.

Among the benefits Of the new Tariff
law is the reduction in duties on hats, fan
nels, shawls and blankets. These necess-
aries Of life were enormously taxed under
the McKinley act. Cheap foreign fannels,
hats, shawls and blankets were practically
prohibited, the tax on them being heavier,
according to their value, than the tax on
the more expensive articles of the same
classes.
In 1893 the tax on flannels valued at 30
cents pound was IS per cent. Only $50
worth of these cheap goods was imported.
Fiannels worth on the average 32 cents q
pound paid lax at the rate Of 1885 per
cent. The value of the imports of these
flannels in that year vas $751; The tax
on ilannels at 43 cents was l03l4 per cent.
Flannels worth 95 cents pound paid tax
of 96H per cent and the imporis were
worth S75,323.
The cheapest blankets, worth %, "a and
As cents pound, paid taxes at the rates oI
8s1l. 100 and l04 per cent respectively
Blankets worth 95 cents paid ,ax-rate o.
81 per cent.
The cheapest shawls imported, worth 81
cents a pound, were taxed at 1905 PEI
cent; the deares', worth 81 IA, paid 8811..
per cent.
The tax on The cheapes. hats was SC
1865 and lo4l4 per cent. OF the cheapes
only Is 35 worth was imported in 1893
and on these tax of s4.58 was paid. Th'
dearest hats paid tax Of S7ll per cent.
This inequality Of taxation. vas due Il
the specific duty on the pound. The Nc
Kinley tax on these articles was mixed
part specific and part ad valorem. Fo
example, the tax on the cheapest shawl
imported was 3Sis cents pound and 4
per cent on the value. The tax on ih
high price-priced shawls was IA cents
pound and 80 per cent. Tie very cheap
est shawls we're absolutely prohibited b
the Mckinley act. The tax on shawl
worth Ss cents pound was heavier i
proportion TO their value than the tax o
shawls worth 81. II pound.
The new law, which goes into effect Jar

inequality. The duty on these articles
