GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT.

Louisville is already actively ar
ranging for the National encamp-
ment of the Grand Army in Septem-
ber. The work Of every division of
the citizens committee has been
mapped out and is we'll under way.
Preparations were really begun just
after the Indianapolis encampment.
The Louisville committees, therefore,
have adopted the Pittsburg plan,
with such changes and notifications
as experience has shown to be neces-
sary.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
people are expected at the encamp-
ment, and these can be cared for with
little trouble The accommodations
committee has already secured quar-
ters in private families for from Is, 600
to 10000 persons. and will be able to
accommodate in private houses 49,,
600 to $4,000, showing the interest
that is being felt in the coming en-
campment by the citizens. Free
quarters will be provided for from
1000 to $4,000. All the halls and
large warerooms in the city have
been secured for this purpose. The
use of the old custom house and post
office building has been authorized by
the secretary of the treasury. There
are 45 hotels in Louisville, New AL
bany and Jeffersonville, and these
will accommodate at least 10000
people.
The naval veterans propose to live
on water, and for this six or more
steamboats, will be at their disposal
at the wharf. There will be plenty
of tents, and if it is found necessary,
large barracks will be erected on
vacant lots. Already 10000 persons
have been assigned quarters. Every
day Representatives of some state or
city arrive to select quarters for
Posts or delegations. The securing
of department accommodations is
now in progress. Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Mime
sofa, New York, New Hampshire,
Maryland, Connecticut, Wisconsin,
and Rhode Island have made reser-
vations. Other states are now ar
ranging for quarters.

THE SCHOOL POPULATION.

In all the schools Of the United
States, public and private, elemen-
tary, secondary, and higher, there
were enrolled in the year 1894 about
fifteen and onehalf millions of pupils.
This number includes all who attend
ed at any time in the year for any
period, however short. But the actu-
al average attendance for each pupil
did not exceed ninety days, although
the average length Of the school ses-
sion was 1877. Sixty nine pupils were
enrolled out of each 100 of the popu
Iation between the ages of five and
eighteen years. At this rate of at
tendance the entire population is
receiving on an average little less
that four and one half years. shcool-
ing of 200 days each. In some States
this average falls as low as two years,
and in others it rises to nearly seven
years Gas in Massachusetts,.

INCREASING TMPORTATIONS.

With the small revival Of business
incident to spring and the death of
Democratic Congress, there is pro-
nounced increase in Importation,
which the present unpatriotic tariff
makes possible.
Boston importers say that factories
in Europe are running day and night
to fill their American orders.
The Bureau of Statistics of the
Treasury Department has discon-
tinued the publication of monthly sta
tistics of the foreign trade, upon the
plea that there is no money for them.
Then why did not Congress appropri-
ate it? Afraid, possibly, to have the
American people see foreign industry
is being benefited at the cost of home
industry.
OF course we shall know by and by
just how this policy sums up in dollars
and cents. But already our manufact-
urers have found out that if they get
any orders it is only by cutting off
most of the profit, and that, too, after
having reduced wages.
The free trade theorists say the
more foreign goods we get the more
wealth we have, but the men who
lose markets Or wages on account of
this policy fail to see where their
benefit comes in. Home Market

Out of this entire number deduc t
the private and parochial schools of
all kinds, elementary, secondary,
higher, and schools for art, industry,
and business, for defective classes
and Indians, and there remain over
thirteen and one half millions for the
public school enrolment, or nearly
88 per cent. Of the whole. In the
tWenty-four years since 1870 the at
tendance on the public schools has
increased from less than seven mil
lions to thirteen and one half millions.
The expenditures have increased
somewhat more, namely, from sixty
three millions to one hundred and
sixty three millions of dollars per
annum, an increase from 81 81 per
capita to So AZ. To account for this
pro rata increase of so per cent. in
the cost of the common schools one
must allow for slight increase in the
average length of the school term,
and for the increase of enrolment
from less than II to more than 20 per
cent. of the population. But the
chief items are to be found in teachers
wages and the cost of expert super
vision. These account for more than
two thirds of the so per cent, while
the remaining one sixth is due to bet
ter apparatus and more commodious
school buildings.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1895-04-08


Baltimore, April 2.-Captain Mark
schaelger of the steamship La Cam
pine, now in port, visited Fort
McHenry today and exhibited to the
soldiers a new German rifle, with
which he did some remarkable shoot
ing. The rifle is one of the first made
by the German government from a
brand new invention of Mauser, the
great German frearm inventor, In
appearance it is something like the
Krog- Jorgensen military rifle now
being adopted by the United States
army, but for shooting it has eclipsed
anything yet made. 1t is of .32 cali
Der, and the barrel is made of three
tubes, one inside the other, on the
same principle as the Krupp gun.
The inner tube is rifed and of hard,
tempered steel. The powder used is
a smokeless, nitro glycerine explo-
sive, which makes little report and no
smoke. Fired along at the height of
the shoulder, the bullet will go near
ly two miles before it's force is spent,
and at 1000 yards it will pierce the
bodies of seven men placed one be-
hind the other.
