FIFTEEN MILLION Pupils.


The report of the United States
commissioner of education, DIR. VIII
liam +. Harris, for the year ended
July /, 1896, has just been completed.
It brings the educational progress of
the country up to that date and emf
braces the latest statistics the bureau
has gathered.
The report shows total enrolment
in that year in the schools and col
legs, both public and private, Of H.
o91, 1917 pupils. This was an increase
of 30S,575. The number in public in
situations was 14,465,371. and in pri-
vate institutions, 1,531,S26. In addi-
ton to all these there were 41S,000 pu-
pills in the various special schools and
institutions, including business col
leges. music Conservatives, Indian and
reform schools, making the grand to-
tai enrolment for the whole country
16.415,197.
The report says the 17s schools for
secondary and higher education of the
colored race had slightly over 10000
students, enrolled, an increase of ov-
er 5000 for the year. Their schools
increased by sixteen in number, most
ly high schools. There were 25.092 pu-
pills in the elementary grades, 1860
in the secondary grades and 1,455 in
the collegiate departments. There
were 4,672 colored students studying
for teachers. Industrial training is a
prominent feature in nearly all of
these schools.

FALL CAMPAIGNS,

The campaigns of most interest this
year are those of Ohio, Iowa, Maryland
and Kentucky, says the Washington
Star. If those four states repeat their
sound money triumphs of last year,
the gain for good times and increased
confidence will be incalculable. If the
silverites prevail there, the effect will
necessarily be most discouraging even
in the face of abundant crops and ris-
ing prices. No fighting over offices or
local leadership ought to be permitted
to imperil or even temporarily injure
so great a cause as the national credit.

DEPARTMENT CALLED OUT TO EX-
TINGUISH A BLAZE IN THE
JOBBING DISTRICT.
THE LOSS WELL KEPT DOWN
GUITERMAN BROS. AND STERN.
BERG d GOTTsCHALL SUFFER
BY THE BLAZE.
Which 1t Causes q Mercurial
Alarm.

A fire similar to the one which visit
ed Guiterman Bros, manufacturers
and jobbers Of mems furnishing goods,
1862 Stbley street, two years ago last
month, caused the firm a second loss
shortly before l o'clock this morning.
The loss, roughly estimated at $4,000, Is
fully covered by insurance. Sternberg
& Gottschall, dealers in mems clothing
and notions, 354 Sibley street, suffered
slight damage to a 100000 stock by
smoke and water. This stock is in
sured for its full value.
The fire started on the third floor Of
the building occupied by Sternberg &
Gottschall, in the cutting room Of Gui-
terman Bros factory, which occupies
the third and fourth floors Of this
structure, Sternberg & Gottschall car
rying their stock only on the first two
floors and the basement. The build
ing has been recently refitted with
electric wires and it is thought that
the fire originated from defective in
sulation. The nercurial alarm on the
third floor went off at 1910 and i'm
mediately after reaching the scene Of
a second alarm calling out more appa-
ratus. The seat OF the fire was in the
rear of the third floor, but the blaze
soon spread to the upper story and for
a time it looked as though the entire
block was endangered. Streams were
turned on, however, from an alley in
the rear and in front and an hours
hard work on the part Of the depart
ment saw the fire extinguished. The
rear of the factory on the fourth floor
and the same portion of the cutting
room below was badly burned and
both rooms badly scorched to the front
of the building.
In the factory the stock was for the
most part goods in process Of being
manufactured, while the counting room
was we'll filled with cloth and patterns
ready for the machines. The stock in
both rooms is badly damaged. The
building is owned by John Wann. The
| loss on the building is estimated at
1,500 fully insured.
The work Of the fire department was
| highly commended, as the flames SEEM
| ed to threaten the entire building, and
the fact that it was stopped within
such narrow confines is considered an
excellent piece Of work.

is held for any offense against the
laws Of this state and whether the de-
mand Is conformable to law and ought
to be complied with, when "he shall
issue his warrant" for the arrest of
the accused and his delivery by the
officer named in the warrant, at the
state line, to the officer bearing the de-
mand Of the foreign executive. AS II
to emphasize the fact that the gov
ernor has no judicial function and to
secure to the accused a hearing by the
judicial authorities, the officer making
the arrest is prohibited, under severe
penalties, from delivering the person
to the agent Of the foreign state, "un-
til the person so arrested and whose
surrender Is demanded shall be noti-
fed of the nature Of the criminal
charge made against him. and not sur
rendered until he has had an oppor-
tunity to apply for a writ Of habeas
corpus" This is for the purpose of
permitting an examination by court
into the merits of the case sufficiently
to determine that there is prima facie
cause at least It makes it clear that
it is not the intention Of the state, as
it clearly is not that of the federal con-
stitution, to allow a governor to de-
eide the merits of any case, nor is there
anywhere anything that we can find
that warrants that officer in assuming
that he has the right to shelter persons
accused from arrest because they are
his friends.

If he, a. resident Of the former state,
did own them. For this he Is in jail
and will have to remain there, IL is
said, until he pays the tax or some
one pays it for him. His case recalls
that of Thoreau, the Concord philoso-
pher, who concluded that taxation was
tyranny and went to jail rather than
submit to the despotism of the state.
Emerson, learning of his Incarceration,
visited him and, on entering MS
friends cell, exclaimed: Henry, what
are you here for?" And, from his
standpoint, logically, the undisturbed
Thoreau reproachfully replied: Ralph
why are you not here?'
There is reason and justice in the
claim Of Hathaway that no property
should be subjected to double taxation.
If it once pays a tax to the jurisdiction
Of it's situs, it should not be taxed
again in that or any other. A certid-
cate Of stock is not property, but the
evidence of property. It is merely
certificate that the holder of 1t has
definite share in all the property, real
and personal, of the company, share
proportionate to the ratio his number
of shares bears to the whole NUMBER
Of shares issued. When he sells the
shares he transfers no property, but
merely the evidence of a right in prop
erty. That property is not within the
;a+1n % hn TO
to it none Of that protection which is
the usually assumed basis of the right
Of the state to tax.
The value Of the property depends
upon the profitabIeness Of it's opera
ton and is reflected IN the market
value Of the shares. If profits allow
dividends to be paid on the stock, to
be divided pro rata among the share
holders, it indicates that the plant is
valuable, the premium on the shares
indicating the excess of commercial
value over cost. If no dividends are
paid, the value Of the shares is an In
determinable quantity, save so far as
the actual, marketable value OF the
plant gives a measure. In any event
the shareholders pay the taxes on the
plant and, therefore, on their shares,
for taxes go into operating expenses
and are deducted from net income be-
fore any dividends can be declared. II
no dividends are paid, the taxes are
paid, and the effect is a depreciation in
the value of the plant reflected again
in that of the shares. When the divi-
dends are paid and received their
amount then becomes property in the
state where the shareholder resides and
is subject to taxation, but to tax the
shares, that only represent an interest
in property that is taxed under it's
state laws is to inf1ict double taxation
upon the same property. With the
sense Of injustice this creates it is no
wonder that so little of these evidences
of property ownership are anywhere
listed for taxation. The policy is a bad
one as affording a plausible shelter for
the performances Of those who habit
ually evade taxation of property the
legitimacy Of which is beyond question.

TAXATION OF STOCKS.

Massachusetts, like Minnesota, taxes
shares of stock of corporations located
outside the state, owned by an inhabi-
tant Of the state That is, it assumes
to tax them by requiring the owner
to list them, or, if he fail, that the as
SCISSOR, having knowledge of such own
ership, list them. Mr.. j. F. Hatha-
way, of Somerville, in that state, was
suspected by the assessor of his district
of being the owner of sundry shares
of stock in Maine corporation, which
the latter accordingly listed and val
ued. Mr.. Hathaway had not included
them in his listing and made himself
amenable to the law that punished
such inadvertence by imprisonment.
Mr.. Hathaway refused to pay the tax,
insisting that. the state Of Massachu-
setts had no right to levy tax on shares
of stock of Maine corporation, even.

In letter, to which we give place
this morning, Mr.. Markham takes ex-
ceptions to the reflections contained
in an editorial paragraph of yester-
days Globe. We have no desire to
do injustice to Mr.. Markham in any
way. The facts, are that, when this
question came up before the assembly
committee on streets, the city attorney
was not apparently quite decided In his
own mind what course 1t would be
best for the city to pursue. He stated
that judgments against most Of the
bondsmen would be Of no value, and
therefore the city could not collect, IN
case of suit. On the other hand, to
accept the compromise proposed would
be to relieve the city treasurer from
all responsibility. He was therefore
doubtful as to a recommendation. Be-
fore the assembly, however. he did. as
he states, oppose the compromise and
the consequent release Of the city
treasurer and his sureties. We gladly
add these statements to Mr.. Mark
hams letter in justice to him.

NEBRASKA ELECTION TANGLE
The Secretary of State, 1t Is
Charged, Opened the Returns.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 22-When the state
canvassing board met today II was served
with a protest signed by E r. Sizer secretary
Of the Republican central committee, and other
citizens, against a canvass Of the state re-
turns on the ground that the law has been
violated by Secretary Of State Porter, who
is charged with opening and tampering with
county returns. The allegation was made
a week ago that the secretary had broken the
seal of the ballots from a number OF coun-
ties and this was admitted today by the
board but the charge of tampering or chang
ing the votes was denied. Attorney General
Smythe, acting for the board, insisted that
the simple breaking of the seals, while con-
trary to the letter of the law, did not consti-
tute an offense and demanded that the pro-
testers furnish proof of tampering. Secretary
Porter and his two deputies were sworn and
testified having opened returns and sending
some back for correction, but entered a gem
eral denial OF any change in figures At the
suggestion CT Gov. Holcomb the protest was
overruled and the board will at an early date
tabulate the vote. E. R. Sizer whose name
heads the protest, asked If he would en-
join the board. He said that he had not
fully decided but would follow up the matter
and act as circumstances seemed to warrant.
It is claimed that if an injunction were is
sued and sustained the throwing cut of
votes opened by Secretary Porter would
change the result Of the election.

OBJECTED TO MONKEYS.
Stir in a Methodist Congress Over
Paper on Evolution.

- aVCE Oh
PITTsBURG. Pa, Nov. 22-The national
which began in Christ church yesterday, was
continued today. Between 300 and 200 prom
inent representatives of the church from al
parts Of the country were in attendance. The
gathering Is the first of its kind ever held
and is described in the call as conference
of the younger men in the church on the
relation Of Methodism to current social and
intellectual conditions. Bishop Vincent, Of
Chautauqua, presided. The feature Of the
afternoon session was the paper presented by
F: 6. Conklin, a professor OF the University
Of Pennsylvania. The subject discussed was
Evolution and Revelation" The paper
came near producing a sensation: During
divided and the general discussion which
followed was spicy. Some Of the points
made by DR.. Conkiin were:
1.-The charge that evolution is atheisttc can
arise from only the most fundamental mis-
conception of the doctrine. II neither at
firms nor denies the existence OF God. 1t
is no moro atheistic to believe that species
originally came into the world according to
the law Of evolution than 1t is to believe
that individuals came into the world accord
ing to the law of development. 1t is the con-
census of scientific opinion that evolution does
not destroy the evidence of design in ma
ture, but rather that 1t gives US more GER
tain evidences of an infinite and all emorac-
ing design. All the evidences of evolution
apply to the origin of man as much as that
of any other organism. The dignity OF man
does not consist in the fact that recently ana
miraculously he was launched into the WoTIaj
his real dignity consists not in his origin
but in what he is and in what he may be-
come"
When the doctor had finished the opponents
of his position came to the front in num-
bers which showed that the theory of evolu-
ton was not universally popular in the con-
gress. One old gentleman whose identity
seemed unknown to everybody sprang to his
feet in the back part Of the auditorium and
denounced the theory 81 hope this con-
gress will formally disapprove of this
theory" he said. The Bible tells US that
when God created man he breathed into him
the breath of life and he became living SOU
That accounts for his origin. We won't want
any monkeys here"

Things are not what they seem when
rock-ribbed free trade Democratic newspaper
finds it necessary to defend the policy OF
reciprocity from the attacks of a Republican
congressman; but that is what the esteemed d
G o has been doing in connection with a
recent interview of which Congressman john
son, of North Dakota. delivered himself-Min-
neapolis Tribune.
Things are surely not what they seem when
the Tribune calls the policy of this ad-
ministration and its party predecessor reel
procity. But sham and fraud as it is, Demo-
Gratis can see in it a shame-faced. reluctant,
equivocating admission by their opponents
that protection is indefensible, and in this
reciprocity the evidence of desire to
find a loop-hole for escape. Absurd and
ridiculous as is the North Dakota statesman,
he is orthodox in his opposition to even this
hating reciprocity. He has sense enough to
realize that it is a giveaway for protection.
