r0uR 10 THE yELL0wsToNK pARK

The reduced rates authorized BY the
transcontinental railroads on account Of
the Annual Convention 0f the National
Educational Association, 70 be held In
Minneapolis, July to IL, 1902, have en-
abled the Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
pany to 0ffer to those contemplating at
tendance at this Convention an 0pportuns
ity. under the direction of its popular
Personally Conducted Tourist System, not
onlyo Of visiting the beautiful city in which
the Convention is to be held, and partici-
pating IN the deliberations of the Cenyen-
ton, but also Of visiting the Yellowstone
National Park, at q cost impossible under
ordinary conditions Of travel.
The Yellowstone Park is never moie
attractive than during the month OF July,
and the tourists under the care Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad will be afforded
the fullest opportunity Of visiting all its
unique attractions, including the Mann
moth Hot Springs, the Gevsers, the beau-
tiful Lake, and the Grand Canon Of the
Yellowstone.
The tour will leave New York and Phil
adelphia, Saturday, July 5. and return on
Sunday, July 20. Round trip tickets, COW
ering all necessary expenses for the entire
trjp' including one berth in Pullman
sleaper. will be sold at rate of $50 from
AT points on the Pennsylvania Railroad
east OF Pittsburg. When two persons oc-
eupy one berth, the rate will be $142 for
each person. Rates from Pittsburg will
be So less than above.
Tourists will use special train over the
entire trip, with the exception of the six
days devoted to the tour of the Park,
when stages and the fine hotels MAIN
tanned in the Park viii be utilized. This
special train will consist of Pullman dim
ing car, sleeping cars, and an observation
car. all OF the highest grade, and the pas
sengers will find them fully as comforta-
bic and convenient as the best hotels.
During the three days 1T the Convention
in Minneapolis, July 7 to 0, inclusive, this
palatial train will be at the command Of
the tourists, obviating the necessity of se-
curing accommodations at hotels.
The beauties of the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park. most aptly termed Natures
Wonderland, must be seen to be appre-
ciated. From the top of the stages in
which the tour of the Park is made, there
is spread ont before the traveller con-
stantly-changing panorama of wonders
snow-crowned mountains; tumbliHg and
tossing rivers; Yellowstone Lake, like a
great blue sea nestled amongst the beet
ling crags, at an altitude above that of
the summit of Mt. Washington; the cur-
ious natural springs, where chemical de-
posts glisten in the suns rays with all
the colors of the rainbow; and the Gey-
sers, ever presenting scene of varied
charm and awe-inspiring wonder.
The, accommodations on this tour will
necessarily be limited, and intending tour.
lists should apply early in order to secure.
reservations of space. A detailed itinerary
is in course of preparation, and all in-a
quiries regarding accommodations should
be addressed 10 Geo. w. Bovd, Assistant

cnMpuLsnRY EpUcATEoM

The recent Mary yland Legisla.
ture passed al act designed as
an entering wedge toward secur.
ing compulsory education Of all
classes. AS all the counties ex-
cept Allegheny requested to be
left free from the provisions Of
the act, it only applies at present
to that County and the city Of
Baltimore. AS Maryland has
an educational qualification for
voting it is right that the state
should insist on every child in
some measure preparing itself
for the duties of citizenship.
Under the new law, all children
between the ages of 8 and IL
years, physically and mentally
fit, must attend the public
schools while they are in session,
unless it can be shown that they
are learning elsewhere the stud
les taught in the public schools.
Children from 12 to 16 years OF
age must also attend school un-
less they are lawfully employed.
and their employment is forbid
den unless they can read and
write English sentences or are
in attendance at an evening or
some other school. The School
Board is to appoint attendance
officers, not to exceed IL in num-
Der, whose compensation is to
be fixed by the Mayor and Coun-
Gil. These officers have author
ity to arrest without warrant
which seems to be a bad feature
children between 8 and IL years
found away from home and school
and to visit factories where
children are employed in order
to see their condition and that
the law is obeyed. The Mayor
and Council has authority to es-
tablish parental schools, to
which habitual truants are to be
committed by Justices of the
Peace.
The workings and results ef
this law will be closely watched,
not only by the State Of Mary
land, but by Delaware and other
adjoing states as well. Pennsyl-
vania has compulsory education, |
but the conditions there are diff !
ferent than they are in Delaware
and Maryland.

REPEAL or WAR TAXES

This week marks the end of
tie extra taxes rendered nee
essary by the Spanish war.
The action OF Congress in re-
ducing the revenues is nota-
BILE event. By this act seventy
seven millions OF dollars are
subtracted from the receipts
of the government for each
year thereafter. In addition,
the Cuban reciprocity act will
take away six or seven mil
lions more. What a contrast
to the Cleveland times! Under
the last Democratic administra-
ton it was necessary to issue
bonds for over two hundred and
fifty millions of dollars. With

FACED EMPTY SEATS
None of the German Ministers
Attended ReichStag
DURING TARIFF DEBATE
Emperor Doesn't Like Way
the Bill Was Managed.

Berlin Oct 22.-Neither Chancellor Won
Buelow nor any minister attended today s
session of the Reichstag. The debate on
the grain schedule of the new tariff bill
was continued. bat the speaker faced a
row of empty seats in the ministerial trib-
une. Won Buelow has suggested that the
cabinet show its entire indifference TO
the majority treatment By simply stay
ing away, for the present at least. Poll
ticians of all parties are in a state of ex-
element over what the ministry will do
and al kinds OF stories are in circula-
ton. One that bears semblance of au-
thority is that Emperor William and Won
Buelow considered the situation for two
hours last night and that his majesty
agreed that the government was unable
TO recede from its position unless the con-
servative and centrist parties first show
disposition TO compromise. and that it
was inexpedient TO dissolve the Reich
stag.
A variation of this account Of the audi
ence is that Emperor William expressed
dispIeasure at the way the bill was man

attitude.
All the Liberal newspapers demand that
the government dissolve the Reichstag,
and the Socialists jeer at the proceed
ings in the Reichstag as farcial and point
to the small influence which parliament
tary decisions have on the government
Argarian organs continue TO attack the
governments position and some mem
bers Of that party threaten to introduce
amendments reducing the industrial
duties.
Altogether the situation is confused
but the ministry seems determined to
preserve its independence toward parlia-
ment and renounce the existing CONNER
cial treaties in December, preparatory to
fresh negotiations for treaties.

task of educating 100 postmasters They
! insist on thinking merchandise what they
understand ii TO be, without waiting for
the aid or consent of any other nation.
They should tell their patrons that the
only way in which commodities can now
| go through the international mails, in the
! absence Of special treaties, is by paying
postage. This rule, of course does not
apply on merchandise to or from Mexico
or Canada; with these countries our
relations are neighborly. except that all
sealed packages, not in the usual or
ordinary form Of letters, are excluded in
| Canada an. Mexico. Tariff complications
compel this exclusion. The United States
also maintains a postal agency at
Shanghai for the delivery 10 a number OF
Chinese ports of mailabie packages not
exceeding four pounds in weight, I'M
sealed, which may be sent from this
country at the usual rate of one cent
an ounce. We also have parceIs-post
treaty arrangement, like that with Ger
many, with a number OF Central Ane-
rican. West Indian and South American
countries and also with New Zealand
The rate is twelve cents for a pound
or fraction thereof except with Chilli and
Bolivia. where. on account Of the heavy
rates imposed by the Panama railroad,
it has been found necessary for the post
Office TO charge twenty cents pound.
One objection raised to all these inter-
national parcels treaties is that they
interfere with the collection OF customs.
and it is on this account that the postal
union arrangement ccntemplates only

have them unwrapped and examined and
the duties assessed and collected by the
post Office authorities just as they now
collect express postage. Few branches
Of our custom business Offer a reader
method OF collection.
There is something interesting about
the history Of our various attempts at a
parcels post Nearly everybody believes
in it, but there is always hitch some
where in getting it into operation. When
John Wanamakel became postmaster
general he told one OF his chiefs in the
department that he was strongly in favor
of a parcels post with European countries
and purposed TO go ahead and establish
it. He said that he wanted first to talk
when he came back from the White
House he called in his division chief 10
tell him that nothing would be done in the
matter. The same attitude has continued
under every administration OF the depart
ment until Postmaster General Smith
negotiated this treaty with Germany.
The relations of these arrangements to
a domestic parcels post are obviously
close. 1t would eventually dawn upon
Americans as a folly to do for persons in
foreign countries what we could not do
for our people at home, and the express
companies are doubtless right in think
ing that an exchange OF eleven-pound
parcels with Germany, if allowed to con-
tinue unchallenged. would only be the
forerunner Of something OF the same sort
here. And why stop at eleven pounds?

ing Discussion on Erin.
BALF0UR AND BANNERMAN
Seems to Have a Difference
Over CourtSey.
BALF0UR AND ZIMMERMAN

London. Oct. 22-There was another
lively, though futile discussion in the
house Of commons today on the subject
Of granting a day for a debate on the
state Of ireland. It only led 10 a great
deal Of straw splitting. allegations Of
discourtesy and a considerable increase
in the i'll feeling prevailing. The Lib
eraI leader, Sir Henry Campbell Ban
herman. again supported Patrick O Brten
| request Tor a day. saying that as the
premier declined the concession '.on the
mere request of the Irish members, he
as a Scotchman. gladly supported the
request"
Mr.. Balfour explained that he could
only give day at Sir Henrys request
on the understanding that the motion
took the form of vote OF censure on the
government and that it was supported by
the opposition as a whole. The Liberal
leader, however. disclaimed any such in
tention. He refused 10 identify himself
SO completely with the Nationalist.
although he strongly contended that the
request of the Irish members should be
granted. Mr.. Balfour said:
Il think the Right Honorable gentle
man had better make up his mind. II
he cannot go any further and take a fun
plunge ne had better defer this discus
SION
Sir Henry resented what no termed
discourtesy. but Mr.. Baifour disavowed
any such intention.
During the alteration William o Brien,
T. p. O'Connor and others interjected
comments on Mr.. Balfour's insulting at
titude toward the Irish and the discus
sion concluded with William OBrien ez-
claiming: If we are not given a day
We will take one"
William OBrien afterward gave notice
Of a resolution declaring that in the
opinion OF the house the operation OF the
crimes act IN Ireland was not justified
by the condition Of the country, and was
unfair in its Application, opposed TO civil
lied usage in the manner Of its admins
tration and calculated to undermine re-
speet of the law, estrsnge the people OF
Ireland and deeply injure the interests
of peace between England and Ireland. 20
