THE TRUANoY LAWS.

Minister Mott-Smith is an inter-
view with the Advertiser expresses
his views on the truancy question
which recently has been taken up
10 our columns. The Minister does
not understand the point we have
taken. We know that it is useless
TO criticize the law as it stands on
the statutes, but our "kick" is again
st the manner in which the law is
carried out by the irresponsible
truapcy officers. Mr.. Mott-Smith
certainly knows that charge again
st anybody should be proven before
punishment is inflicted. But this
is never done in the truants brought
before the magistrate, The truant
officer finds a child on the street.
He does not know the age OF the
child; he has no complaint from
any teacher in his district; he does
not know whether the child has
ever been to school or whether there
are good reasons why it is not at
school. He simply yanks the child
to the Station House where it is
locked up among drunks and crimi-
nails and the next morning it is
brought before the magistrate who is
asked to punish it without any proof
of its alleged offense having been
produced. That is where the "kick"
comes in and we think better and
more just method should be enforc-
ed. That Mr.. Mott-Smith can cause
to done even as the law stands

The World Ha. Grown II, SMALLER.

Five hundred years ago the earth was
81 times as large as it is to-day. At
least, it.took naVigators 81 times as
long to sail round the world as it does
to-day. The expedition of Magellan,
which was the first to sail round the
world: took nearly three years to ac-
complish the journey. Sir Francis
Drake, who started out. from England
in 1877, spent three years in the same
voyage. Ten years later Cayendishset
sail from Plymouth England, on voy-
age Of circumnavig cation and got back
home in &c months, cutting nearly one
third off the record. In the next cen-
fury the time required for the voyage
was gradually cut down to 14O days.
There itsremained until the opening Of
the Suez canal. At present the best
time on record is 50 days, though il ex-
spense were no object auth,,riti ties agree;
that this could be cut still further.

WHAT THE GOLD MEN WANT.
Reckless In Their Greed, Reasonless
in Their Arguments and Heart
less in Their Demands.

Discussing the recent decision of the
supreme court of Michigan, which de-
clared the silver dollar to be an alb
solute legal tender, gold standard Or
gan says:
"While the Michigan opinion can be
of no service to the silverites, it ought
to be of some use to the cause of
sound money, by deepening the convic-
ton that we need legislation ending
the present ambiguity and making
gold the only unlimited legal tender
coin.''
The gold standard organ is disin-
genuous. If the decision is ''of no serv-
ice to the silverites," why does the
gold standard advocate suggest that
I'VE need legislation ending the pres
ent ambiguity?"
AS matter of fact there is no am
biguity. What the gold men want is
a reputation by this government of
$5oo,ooo,ooo worth of legal tender
money, for which the nation has re-
ceived full value in gold at par.
No greater dishonesty could be sug-
gested; no more gigantic robbery
could be committed than this repudia-
ton. As the Chicago Democrat de-
elares, to reduce half a billion of legal
tender money to the value of bullion
would be a contraction of the cur
rency which would produce wide
spread disaster. 49,
But the gold advocates are reckless
in their greed, reasonless in their ar
guments and heartless in their de-
mands. Even that radical administra-
ton paper, the New York Sun, ad-
mits that such Reputation would pre-
cipitate a panic, would be dishonest
and would be nothing more nor less
than a reduction by one-half in the
value of $500, 0oo,o worth of coin now
worth its face and declared. to be abso-
tutely legal tender.-Illinois State

The surprise ind horror with which
she looked at me! She stopped, start
ed on, stopped again, cast a quick
glance at my guard, and thought she
was about to speak to me; but, though
the man was sufficiently relaxed in his
watching to permit it, she passed on
without q word and entered the room
I had lett. ls-s s: s I'll :.
The guard took me back to the other
prisoners, and before leaving he or
dered me to turn my pockets inside out,
stating that prisoners were not al
lowed to retain any articles on their
persons, and thus reclaimed Mai.
Berante's receipt for the letter I had
won. I cared nothing for the paper,
and gave it up readily.
I spent the day with plenty of food
for thought, if none for the stomach.
There was evidence of treachery on the
part of the general; there was VIOLA
ton of parole on the part of Margaret
Beach; while 1, who had always been
sensitive to my honor, had lied like a
pirate and cheated at cards, only to be
despoiled Of my winnings. But what
puzzled me most was Berante's asking
if the general was making love to
Margaret. Yet I knew Berante to be
such an arrant rascal that believed he
had some concealed motive for asking
the question. However, self-preserva-
ton and the love of liberty overweighed
all other considerations, and soon fell
to laying plans for escape. I felt hope
full as to Guiding my guards and leaving
the place where I was held captive.
Union prisoners of war, when not con-
fined in a regularly appointed prison,
often found it easy to get away from
their captors; the trouble was to reach
the union lines. Indeed, many an es-
capped prisoner, after wandering about
without food or shelter, finally gave
himself up to avoid starvation. I sur
veyed our little camp and noted the
situation. Three sides of square
were guarded by sentinels, while the
fourth was protected by wagons. If
1 could get under one of those wagons
! might escape through the bushes on
the other side.
AS night came on bleak wind arose
and I kept close to the campfire in the
