Good Showing.

The Journal of Education is elated
over the small number of truants
among the children Of school age in
New York and inquiries: "How is this
for the schools of America? New York
City has a third of a million children
in the public schools, and the truant
officers in 1893 made more than forty
thousand visits upon children whom
they thought ought to be in school.
They found but seventy-three children
in the entire city in the whole year who
we're not in school because of poverty.
Think of it! In that year of notori-
ously hard times, a third Of q million
children in the schools of one Ameri-
can city, but seventy-three kept out
from poverty, and but fifty-three who
stubbornly would not go to SCHOOL,"

A %schoolroo,n Idyl.

How plainly / remember all!
The desks. deep scored and blackened,
The row of blackboards round the wall,
The hum that eve s%lackened;
And framed about by map and charts,
And casts of dusty plaster,
That wiscst head and warmcst heart,
The kindly old schoolmaster!
I see the sunny corner nook
His blue-eyed daughter sat in.
A rosy. %fair-haired girl, who took
With us her French and Latin.
How longingly I watched the hours
For Ollendorff and Caesar!
And how I fought with Tony Powers
The day he tried to tease her!
And when, one day. it took the "Next!"
To stay some Gallo slaughter,
Because I quite forgot the text
In smiling at his daughter.
And she and I were "kept till four
To study. after closing"
We stopped the clock IN hour or more
While he, poor man, was doing!
And there he sits. with bonded head,
Der some old volume porting
(Or so, he thinks; if truth be said
He's fast asleep and snoring),
And where the shaded lamplight plays
Across the cradles rocking,
My schoolmate of the olden days
Sits, mending baby's stocking.

dent of the United States, and there.
fore wrongfully, been referred to the
secretary Of the interior by some un-
known person.
CAN THE SECRETARY EXPLAING
The chief clerk does not say to the
settlers, in accordance with due form:
'I am directed by the secretary of the
interior to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter to the president and by him
referred here" / can, of course, un-
derstsnd why the secretary does not
say the letter Of the settlers asking
for the enforcement of certain laws
was referred to him by the president;
he had no authority to say that. But
why did he not say, at least, that the said
letter was addressed to the president {?
The secretary had authority to say that.
Why did he not say itP Was that high
officer playing the part Of an srtful
dodgerH Was he consciously contribut-
ing his little official mite in aid of the
executive mansion conspiracy to defeat
the enforcement of certain laws? Fur
ther, the secretary said that the petit
tiOn of the settlers was referred from
executive mansion" 1t is not due
form to say what petition is referred
from; the due form is to say by whom
it was referred. Did not the secretary
know who referred this petition? Did
some one simply drop it in an "execu-
tive mansion" envelope and address it
to the secretary so that all he could
say was, "Referred from the execu-
tive msnsionP" If not, did some one
in that mansion write the secretary q
letter and tell him that he (the writer)
was in box; that it would never do
to enforce these laws; that it would ex-
pose to public view national scandal
bigger than the Credit Mobilier or the
Panama canal; that it would smirch
leading democrats as well as republi-
cans; that there was big pay in getting
the petition to a pigeon-hole and keep
ing it there; that you (the secretary
need not mention who referred the Pc
tition for fear it might be inferred that
the president had hand in it; that it
would be well simply to tell the set
tiers that their letter-not addressed
to snyone-Was referred from execu-
tive mansion, and that you had re-
ferred the same to the commissioner;
and the settlers will understand
hel-Whst 1t means, you know? Is
this what took place? If not, what
didP
THE REFERENCE TRICK.
The petition of the settlers for the
enforcement of certain laws is referred
to the secretary by some unknown per-
son in the executive mansion who does
not inform the secretary what it was
referred for. This is decidedly irreg-
ular. The due form, when it is the in.
tention, in the interest of public land
thieves, to stab a settlers petition for
the enforcement of law, is to say: "Re-
ferred for your consideration" In
this instance, however, the only in
stance L know Of-the petition sd-
dressed to the president is referred by
The Unknown to the secretary with
out instruction. AS The Unknown
had received no instruction from the
regarding il he had no in.
The advocate., 1895-07-24

Office can no longer be referred. Con-
gresham Elkins said: "Your distrust
must stop somewhere. So must pc
tition, It must stop with the commits
sioner, and it did. The commissioner,
however, is not instructed to do any
thing with it, but as it can no longer
be referred, he is bound to do some
thing with it, so he pigeOn-hOles it.
And this brings us to consideration of
THE CASE.
A petition of settlers on the sO.Called
Maxwell grant, for the enforcement of
certain violated laws is addressed "TO
the president Of the United States"
There is no evidence that the petition
reached the president; there is no eVi-
dence to the contrary in the fact that
it was not referred by him, in accord
ance with due form, to the secretary
of the interior. This petition, how
ever, was referred to the secretary
from the executive mansion. It Is not
stated who referred it. It follows,
therefore, that the petition Of the set
tiers was referred to the secretary by
some unknown person, who, for the
time being, was an acting president of
the United States. The fact OF his
name not appearing of record indicates
that the acting president evidently re-
allied that he had no right to act in
that capacity. His acting in that Ca
pacity was, Of course, for purpose,
The purpose is evident, namely, to de-
feat the enforcement of certain laws
by keeping a petition for their enforce
ment from the real president and
wrOngfully referring the same in the
direction of a general land Office
pigeon hole, in the belief that it would
remain there and die silently an ille-
gal death. The Unknown, whom the
record indicates as an executive man.
sion officer, would not, it is to be pre-
sumed, usurp the function of the pres
ident of the United States, in order to
defeat the enforcement of certain laws,
unless thereto unduly influenced by
some other unknown person OF persons.
Hence, the charge Of conspiracy that
heads this article.
SOME CONSOLATION.
There is at least q little consolation
for the settlers In this executive man
sion conspiracy to defeat the one
execution of the laws they peti
toned to have enforced. The con-
Splracy clearly indicates that the set
tiers petitiod is unsnsWersble. No
such desperate, unauthorized, high
handed procedure would have been re-
sorted to by the executive mansion
conspirators if the certain laws set
forth in the settlers petition did not
need enforcing. If the said laws were
not being violated and did not therefore
need enforcement, everything would
have been smooth and regular. The
blsndest smile of the private secretary |
would have appeared upon an execu-
tive mansion letter in due form, say
ing: "The president directs me to &C
knowledge the receipt of your letter of
recent date and to inform you that the
certain laws you request to have en-
forced, it has been ascertsined, upon
lue investigation, do not need enforc-
