In the fall of 1895 we had a valuable
brood mare which became very lame
with bog spawn, and during the win
ter we commenced using "Caustic

week, and spending at least a half
hour in rubbing each time. Today
her leg is as smooth as before, and we
now consider Caustic Balsam the

SUMMARY.

To sum up the points we have made
in this weeks and last weeks papers:
Our free schools can never accom-
plish the object for which they we're
established without a more liberal
school tax, giving US money enough
to do all that money alone can do.
In the second place, we must have
well trained, well paid professional
teachers.
In the third place, we want the best
possible supervision-such supervi-
sion as will secure unity of plan and
concert of action.
These three factors-suficient
money, competent teachers and the
right kind of supervision-wil give
Us schools capable of educating the
people. And then we must have in
the fourth place, a compulsory law to
compel the attendance OF all the chill
dren subject to the schools.

contend that the parent has a right
to subject his child to such treatment
as would undermine and ruin its
health, and dwarf and cripple its
bodyQ Who would dare to Justify the
parent or guardian that would refuse
his child the requisite amount of food.
for the growth of itsebody9 None
would dare say the parent has such
rights, and such parent or guardian
would be compelled by law to take of
his substance and minister to the
wants of his child.
Yet worse things than these are
done by some parents and even the
strong arm of the law is powerless to
shield the helpless ~innocents. They
send up no cry for mercy, for they, in
their innocent ignorance, know not
the injustice and oppression they suf-
fer; they are not aware of the wither-
ing, blighting, destroying curse that
is upon them. All unconsciously they
suffer, while the noblest gift of God,
that spark of God himself, the i'm
mortal mind, is dwarfed and MANNED
for all time, and, may be for all eter-
nifty.
COMPULSORY TAXATION FOR SCHOOLS
WHY NOT COMPULSORY
ATTENDANCE?
There is no question but that the
State ought to interfere. She has a
right to do it. The State says to the
man who objects to a school tax that
it is a public necessity that the peo-
pie be educated, and that the masses
can only be reached through the pub
lie school. Upon this plea she takes
his money against his will and despite
his protest, for the purpose of educat-
ing the children of the country. Then,
if his property is thus taken from him
on the ground that the public good re-
quires it, does he not have the right
to demand that it be used for that
purpose, and that such other steps be
taken as may be necessary to accom-
plish this desired end2 AS We have
before stated, it is a public necessity
to take one mans money to educate
another mans children; and, it is
self-evident, therefore, that public ne
cessity demands that this other mans
children attend the schools and be ed
ucated.

M0RCAN'S LATEST.
Great Financier is Figuring on
Unifying the Turkish Debt.

New York, July 11.-Although J. T.
Morgan went to London Wednesday
night, says a Paris dispatch to the New
York American, the bourse, the ciups,
senate, the fashionable cafes-every
place where men of money and those
DESTROYS of having it congregate-st1u
resound with the name of the American
financier.
The cause of the fresh outburst is the
belief that Mr.. Morgan is planning a
financial scheme more far reaching than
anything he has yet achieved Rumor
has it that he is considering the until
cation of the Turkish debt. No one
here can speak with authority, but it Is
certain that Mr.. Morgan has received
long and important communications
over the amount involved in this yet
most momentous undertaking, because
he who unifies this debt will hold Iur-
key in the hollow of his hand The
sultan knows this, hence he will not
treat with the Deutsche bank, the Credit
Lyonnaise or the Societe Generate.
He thinks safer hands are those or
the Americans, whose county can have
no designs upon the Ottoman empire.
The Germ an emperor Is good friend
of Turkey and may have talked over
the matter with Mr.. Morgan.
The Ottoman debt is LOO, 000, 900
francs. Turkey proposes to have per
cent bonds of 1886 converted into fours,
payable not at 525 as now, but at 500;
to contract for the construction of IA
ships from 500 to 1,500 tons, and will
guarantee it by concessions on the
Bosphorus.
Preference will be given for the ex-
ploitation of the mines, the forests. the
tramways, the waterways, and cleo
tricity and transports.
During Mr.. Morgan's stay of two days
in Paris his hotel lobby had been crowd
Greek Roman art works. He did not
buy, however.

.BURTON'S JUNkET TRIP.
How He Arranged For the Visit
to Hawaii.

The following is Washington dis
patch to the Chicago Tribune:
In the dying hours of the late session
of congress, when minor legislation was
not enacted with too much care, a reso-
luton was introduced in the senate and
passed by that body authorizing the ap-
pointment of a subcommittee of the
committee on Pacific islands to visit
Hawaii between now and next Decem-
Der for the purpose of investigating in
dustrial and commercial conditions
there.
The resolution was introduced by Sen
ator Mitchell of Oregon at the request
of Senator Burton of Kansas Mr..
Mitchell said he was not interested in
the matter, but was willing to accom-
modate Mr.. Burton. The Kansas Sena-
tor explained that he did not wish to
introduce the resolution because he ex-
pected to ask for appointment on the
subcommittee and he thought the thing
would be too patent, if he should pro-
pose a junket for himself.
After the passage of the resolution
Senator Frye, president pro tempore of
the senate, named for the Hawaiian
junket Mitchell Of Oregon, Foster of
Washington, Burton of Kansas, Cock
rell of Missouri and Blackburn of Ken
lucky. Since the adjournment of con-
gress it has appeared that at least two
make the trip and two others are, at
the best, Indifferent. They say there is
no necessity for the proposed 'lnvesti-
CATION and that there is no sentiment
in congress or elsewhere favorable to
it.
Senator Mitchell says he would not
have introduced the resolution if he had
known his appointment would follow.
and he has almost refused to go. Sen
ator Foraker, chairman of the full COM
mittee on Pacific islands, insisted, how
ever, that since Mr.. Mitchell was the
nominal author of the resolution he must
be appointed on the subcommittee.
Mr.. Mitchell said he had not supposed
his resolution would pass the senate.
Senator Cockrell refuses fatty to make
the trip. Senator Foster wants to stay
at home, and Senator Blackburn is in
different. Senator Burton has led his
colleagues to believe he will go, even If
he has to go alone. He is interested in
laying before congress the facts about
the commercial conditions in the Ha-
waiian islands. The expenses of the
trip will be paid out of the contingent
fund of the senate.
