The attention of parents and teachers is cali
ed to the law which requires that all children
shall have been duly vaccinated before being
received in any school.
The provisions of the Act include all schools
whether public or private, and although 1t is
believed that it has been rather better OBJ
served in this county than in many others OF
the State, yet in the considerable proportion
of instances it has been disregarded or evaded
Although there does not exist at the present
time single known case of smallpox within
the limits of the State, yet 1t has prevailed in
the United States in a far greater number of
localities than is usual at this season of the
year, and may at any time make its appear
ance in this county.
The law has made fair provision for the COM
pensation to physicians for vaccinating those
whose means render it difficult to pay the
usual fee for such services, and pure and rel1a-
bic vaccine mattee can be grituitously procured

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Suggested That Additional Reforms
Be InauEurated.

The interstate commerce commission
has, during the last year, supplied abund
ant evidence of it's usefulness and the inn
portance of work committed to it's charge.
Public transportation is a universal neces-
sity, and the question Of just and reason
able charges therefor has become OF vital
Importance, not only to shippers and car
riers, but also the vast multitude OF
producers and consumers. The justice and
equity of the principles embodied in the
existing law, passed for the purpose of
conceded, and there appears to be no
question that the policy thus entered upon
has permanent place in our legislation.
AS the present statute, when enacted,
was in the nature of the case more or less
tentative and experimental, it was hardly
expected to supply a complete and ade-
quate system. While it's wholesome effects
are manifest and have amply justified it's
enactment, it is evident that all desired
reforms in transportation methods have
not been fully accomplished.
In view of the judicial Interpretation
which some provisions of this statute have
received and the defects disclosed by
the efforts made for it's enforcement, it's
revision and amendment appear to be es-
sential to the end that it may more effect
lively reach the evils most desired to be
corrected I hope the recommendation of
the commissions upon this subject will be
promptly and favorably considered by the
Congress.

cess the result desired may to limited ex-
tent be accomplished.
The civil service rr'es as amended dur
ing the last year provide for sensible
and uniform method of promotion, basing
eligibility to better positions upon demon
strated efficiency and faithfulness. The
absence Of fixed rules on this subject has
been an infirmity in the system more and
more apparent as its other benefits have
been better appreciated.
Offensive Partisanship.
The advantages of civil service methods
in their business aspects are too we'll I'M
derstood to require argument. Their APP
plication has become a necessity to the
executive work of the government. But
these VINO gain positions through the OPP
Grafton of these methods should be made to
understand that the non-partisan scheme
through which they receive their appoint
ments demands from them, by way OF
reciprocity, non-partisan and faithful per-
Torrance of duty under every administra-
ton and cheerful fidelity to every chief.
While they should be encouraged to de-
Gently exercise their rights of citizenship
and to support through their suffrages the
political beliefs they honestly profess, the
noisy, pestilent and partisan employee,
who loves political turmoil and contention
CT who renders lax and grudging service
to an administration not representing his
political views, should be promptly and
fearlessly dealt with in such way as to
furnish a warning to others who may be
likewise disposed
The annual report of the commissioners
will be duly transmitted and l commend
the important matter they have in charge
to the careful consideration Of Congress.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Wants Fourth-CIass Postmaster
ships Included in the List.

Wants FOurth-CIass Postmaster
ships Included in the List.
The progress made in civil service reform
furnishes cause for the utmost congratu-
lations. 1t has survived the doubts of it's
friends as we'll as the rancor of it's enc
mics and has gained a permanent place
among the agencies destined to cleanse our
politics and to improve, economic and ele-
vate the public service.
There are now in the competitive CLASH
fed service upward Of $4,000 places. More
than half of these have been included from
time to time since March 4. 1893 most
radical and sweeping extension was made
by executive order dated the 9th day of
May, 1896, and, if fourthclass postmaster
ships are not included in the statement,
it may be said that practically all positions
contemplated by the civil service law are
now classified. Abundant reasons exist for
including these postmasterships, based up
on economy and improved service and the
peace and quiet of neighborhoods. 1t, how
ever, obstacles prevent such action at
present, I earnestly hope that Congress
will. without increasing postcffice appro-
priations, so adjust them as to permit in
proper cases a consolidation of these post
Offices, to the end that through this pro-

State Militia Should Be Supplied
With Modern Arms.

The report of the secretary CT war ex-
h1b1ts satisfactory conditions in the sew
eral branches of the public service intrust-
ed to his charge. The limit of our military
force, as fixed by law, is constantly and
readily maintained. The present discipline
and morals Of our army are excellent and
marked progress and efficiency are ap-
parent throughout it's entire organization.
With the exception of delicate duties in
the suppression of slight Indian disturb
ances along our Southwestern boundary,
IN which the Mexican troops cooperated,
and the compulsory but peaceful return
with the consent of Great Brittany of a
band of Cree Indians from Montana to the
Di1tlsh possessions, no active operations
have been required of the army during the
year past.
Changes in methods of administration,
the abandonment of unnecessary posts and
consequent concentration of troops, and the
exercise of care and vigilance by the va
rlous officers charged with the RESPONSE
bllity in the expenditure of the appropria-
tons, have resulted in reducing to min
lmum the cost Of maintenance of our mil
1tary establishment. During the past year
the work of constructing permanent infan-
Try and cavalry posts has been continued
at the places heretofore designated.
The secretary of war repeats his recon-
incubation that appropriations for barracks
and quarters should more strictly conform
to the needs of the service as judged by the
department rather than respond to the
wishes and opportunities of localities. 1t
is imperative that much of the money pro-
Vlded for such construction should now be
allotted to the erection of necessary quar-
tiers for the garrisons assigned to the coast
defenses, where many men will be needed
to properly fer and operate modern
guns. Ii is essential, too, that early pro-
vision be made to supply the necessary
force of artillery to meet the demands of
the service.
improved Arms for the Militia.
The entire army has now been equipped
with the new magazine arms and wise pol
icy demands that all available public and
private resources should be SO employed as
to provide within a reasonable time a suf-
flcient number to supply the state militia
with these modern weapons and provide an
ample reserve for any emergency.
The organized militia numbers 112 ,87G
men. The appropriations for its support by
the several states approximate So, 500 900
annually and $400 600 is contributed by the
general government. Investigation shows
these troops to be we'll drilled and inspect
ed with much military interest, but in
many instances they are so deficient in
proper arms and equipment that a sudden
call to active duty would find them made
quately prepared for field service. I there
fore recommend that prompt measures be
taken to remedy this condition and that
every encouragement be given to this de-
serving body Of unpaid and voluntary citi-
zen soldiers upon whose assistance we
must largely rely in time of trouble.

THE PENSION ROLL.
Alleged Abuses Are Commented Up
on by the President.

Alleged Abuses Are Commented Up
on by the President.
The dimunition of our enormous pension
roll and the decrease of pension expendi-
ture which have been so often confidently
foretcld, still fail in material realization
The number of pensioners on the rolls at
the close of the fiscal year ended June 80,
1896, was 97O,67S. This is the largest
number ever reported The amount paid
exclusively for the pensions during the
year was $13S, 214, 1894, slight decrease
from that of the preceding year, while the
total expenditures on account of pensions,
including the cost of maintaining the de-
partment and expenses attending pensions
distribution amounted to $142, FOG, 55O.59, or
WITHIN a very small fraction OF one-th1rd
of the entire expense OF supporting the
government during the same year. The
number of new pension certificates issued
was 80, 640 OF these, 40,374 represent or
iginal allowances of claims and 15,S7S in
crease of existing pensions.
The number of persons receiving pen
sicns from the United States but residing
in foreign countries at the close OF the
last fiscal year was 1881, and the amount
paid to them during the year was $685.
1858.
The sum appropriated for the payment
Of pensions for the current fiscal year end
ing June so, 1897, is $140,000O0O and for
the succeeding year it is estimated that
the same amount will be necessary.
The commissioner OF pensions reports
that during the last fiscal year 339 1ndlct-
ments were found against violatcrs OF the
pension laws. Upon these indictments LOT
convictions resulted.
In nv opinion such statements as these,
and much other information and observa-
ton, the abuses which have been allowed
to creep into our pension system have done
:ncalculable harm in demoraliZing our peo-
pie and undermining good citizenship.

FOR FEDERAL PRISONS.
Proposition to Do Away With Con-
tracts With the States.

Proposition to Do Away With Con-
tracts With the States.
The Encouragement presents a detailed
and interesting statement of the important
work done under his supervision during
the last fiscal year. The ownership and
management by the government of peni-
tentiaries for the confinement OF those con-
victed in United States courts of viola
lions of federal laws, which for many years
has been a subject of executive recon-
endatiCn has at last, to a slight extent,
been realized by the utilization of the
abandoned military prisicn at Fort Leaven-
worth a United States penitent1ary. This
is certainly a move in the right direction,
but it ought to be at once supplemented
by the rebuilding or extensive enlargement
of this improvised prison, and the con-
struction of at least one more, to be located
in the Southern safes. The capacity Of the
Leavenworth penitentiary is so limited that
the expense of it's maintenance, calculated
at per capita rate upon the NUMBER OF
prisoners it can accommodate, does not
make as economical an exhibit as 1T would
if it were larger and better adapted to
prison purposes, but / am thoroughly con-
WINGED that economy, humanity and a
proper sense of responsibility and duty to-
ward those whom we punish for violations
of federal law dictate that the federal gov
eminent should have the entire control
and management OF the penltent1arles
where convicted violators are confined. 1t
appears that since the transfer of the Fort
Leavsnworth military prison to its new
uses the work previously done by prison
ers confined there, and for which expensive
machinery has been provided. has been
discontinued This work consisted OF the
manufacture of articles for army use now
done elsewhere. On all grounds it is ex-
ceedingly desirable that the convicts con-
fined in this penitentiary be allowed to re-
sumo work of this description.
Abolishing the Fee System.
1t is most gratifying to note the salts
factory results that have followed the IN
auguraton of the new system provided for
by the act of May %, 1896, under which
certain Federal officials are compensated
by salaries instead of fees. The new plan
was put in operation on the LIST day OF July
1885, and already the great economy II
enforces, it's prevention of abuses, and its
tendency to a better enforcement OF the
laws are strikingly apparent Detailed evil
dence of the usefulness of this long de-
layed, but now happily accomplished re
form will be found clearly set forth in the
attorney generals report.

nature. While it gives the sense Of Sc
curity due to a consciousness of strength,
it is neither the purpose nor the effect OF
such permanent fertilization to involve US
in foreign complications, but rather to
guarantee us against them. These are

it, Thus they are thoroughly in accord
