The record-union., 1899-02-01

, fourteen dollars worth Of patronage
came forth looking happy, but-there
were others-and the swear-words flew
thick and fast, and were both loud and
deep when they reflected upon the $2.5O
jobs that were all that were left with
"courtesies.''
The feelings of members, however
/ could hardly be as poignant as those OF
the little army Of attaches who have
been waiting four, long weeks to know
how they shall spend the next four
The disappointed ones were numerous
and in more than one case there is a
ranking sense of injustice to add to II
all. But it is only the lucky ones who
are mentioned, and here they are:

YESTERDAYS BILLS.
While every body looks for the event
ual arrival of the voting machine, i. e.,
some voting machine, there is much di-
vision Of opinion as to how it can be
introduced free of the suspicion of a
job. The rivals already in the field are
many and it is apparently as difficult
not to discriminate as it is to choose
wisely. Dibble's A. B. sol, which he
introduces by request, proposes to put
the matter into the hands of a COM
| mission which shall be empowered to
examine, purchase and test practically

A TRUANT SCHOOL.
Conrey's A. B. 541 reads like an ex-
tract from the statutes of the days OF
'Dotheboy's Hail." and might inspire
q 70 ALL
provides that in any school district OF
| county, Boards of Education or Trus-
tees may establish .'Truant School, y
which must be supported from the
| school fund. This school" is for the
Incarceration of "habitual truants,'' the
males to be separated from the fe-
males and these to be gathered In by
| 'truant officer position established
by the bill, along with several other po-
| sitions-teachers, employees, ETC. The
victims are to be housed, fed, taught
and punished, but they are not to be
taken from among those bad enough
for reformatory institutions In truth
the poor little chap or the forlorn little
girl who became an inmate of this truly
home-like and heaven-lke place would
be between the devil and the deep sea
not good enough to live and not bad
enough to die, but doomed to grow
worse.
