Results Of Compulsory Educatloa Law.
The State Board Of Truancy sends

The State Board OF Truancy sends
out the following statement OF the
practical operations OF the Truancy
law. For present comparison the
statement is interesting, but for the
highest beneficial results of the law
we must wait till these truant chill.
dren are full grown citizens, when
there should be less Of criminality
and drunkenness than exists at
present:
The operations Of the compulsory
education law in Indiana continue
to be very satisfactory. Though
the law has been changed so that
the appointment Of truant officers is
left with county and city Boards OF
Education and the supervision is
left in the hands of the Board OF
State Truancy as heretofore, the
work has been generally quite eff
ciently done. In some places it is
reported that the operations are not
satisfactory, and it is even said that
truant officers were selected for po-
litical reasons without consideration
as to their fitness for the work.
Whether that be true OF not, the ag-
gregate Of work done shows a very
satisfactory comparison with last
year and the preceding year.
The Board of State Truancy has,
after considerable correspondence,
obtained reports from every one q
the 1O8 truant officers for the school
year 19OO-19O1. These officers re.
port as having been brought into
school 25,O25 children at cost Of
$27, 1856 so. The cost OF assistance
rendered poor children was $l9,'
S01.4S, or q total amount OF $47,
CSC 9S. 1t is observed that the av
erage expense in bringing thes,
children into school was Sill, and
the average expenditure for eacl
child helped to enable it to attent
school was 81 %. To accomplish
the reeult, the truant officers hav'
spent IA, ,194A days and made 90,
$50 visits. 199 prosecutions wer
, undertaken for violations OF the law
Of these 1872 wore successful and 3
were not so. OF the 25, ,O25 chll
dren brought into the schools, 70,
591 were reported Is attending pub
: lie schools and 1 ABA as attendin
private or parochial schools. $3.50
; were reported as having receives
. aid; of these $3.50 attended tn
public schools.
II is interesting to compare tn
reports OF the truant officers for tn
year ending 1900 and those for tn
year ending 1901. The following
summary shows some Of the inter
esting results of that comparison:

Shaw's Problems for Congress.
rNew York Tribune.

Secretary Shaw, like many of his
predecessors, has been obliged to take
the attitude Of an elementary tnstruc-
tor. Last year Secretary Gage gave
to the country luminous and able ex-
position of the first principles of bank
ing, but so far as action by congress
is concerned his efforts at instruction
have yet to bear fruit. This year Sec
rotary -Jhaw returns to the attack, and
points out clearly and foreibly many OF
the evils of the present system which
are crying for remedy. Reviewing his
recent efforts to prevent disastrous
monetary stringency, the secretary
shows the inefficiency of the means at
his disposal to cope with the situation,
which, by the way, he ought never to be
called upon to do. The national treas
ury was full to overfowing with idle
money. The very prosperity of the
country was in large part the means of
bringing about this result, but the rigid
tty Of the independent treasury system
made this enormous accumulation of
revenues as utterly unavailable for the
purposes of business as tho the money
were at the bottom of the sea.
Tt is true that financial doctors disa-
gree among themselves as to the best
means to cure the ills to which atten-
ton is called in Secretary Shaw's re-
port, but that the ills exist all agree. 1t
will be a sad commentary ON popular
In America if the congress
of the United States can not and will
not take up the subject and discover
some solution.

Now sal Cox, I will give way to

life. That lasted for three sentences,

swung out and far aloft in frantic ges-
ture. Bang went the speakers gavel.

shouted Mr.. Carlisle, and Uncle Joe

CONDITIONS EMBARRASSING.

| One of the anomalous conditions that
so often arise to destroy the doleful
pictures presented in the arguments OF
lobbyists when tariff legislation has
| been proposed has appeared in the re-
cent fluctuations of the sugar market
| Owing to partial failure in the Euro
pean raw sugar crop, which is not
| turning out as was expected, the price
of refined sugar has been rapidly adj
vanced during the past three weeks, in
spite of the fact that Cuban reciprocity
| is now practically assured and Cuban
importers are already Offering raw
sugar on terms which promise to re-
bate any advantages that may come
hereafter in the reduction of tariff du-
ties. This is not so strange, however,
for the reason that Cuban sugar at
present constitutes so small a portion
little figure in determining general
market conditions, and the refiners of
cane sugar have made no opposition to
Cuban reciprocity.
But from Council Bluffs and Omaha
come news that does not leave the beet
sugar trust in so consistent an atti-
tude. For a long time there has been
brisk competition. between the cane
sugar trust and the beet sugar trust,
with the result that at Missouri river
points, where the two products meet in
battle array, the price of refined sugar
has been very low. All at once, during
this last week, wholesalers in Council
Bluffs have been notified that sugar has
been advanced very materially. In 9th
er words. the beet sugar trust has
raised its price, which enables the
Havemeyer trust to follow suit, and this
right on the eve of ratification of the
Cuban reciprocity treaty, which was
going to kill the beet sugar industry by
the admission of flood of cheap raw
sugar to the refineries of the Havemey-
ers! In the one case we see that even
tho this raw sugar from CUBA is now
being offered at prices less any change
that may come in the import by
reason of the treaty, the refined prod
uct steadily advances in price, and even
tho Cuban reciprocity, which beet
sugar men predicted would ruin them,
is now almost assured, the price of re-
fined beet sugar goes UP. We wonder if
some of our dear friends Of the lobby
were not excited.
