WEDNESDAY, JUNE jr.-VAN SLYKE. Mr On the Elgin Board of Trade on Hobday, the market was steady at 14 38,000 pounds selling at thnt Many offerings were drawn on •OCbunt of the (ow figure. A good fighter for his district and for the interests of the soldier is Mr Itdpkins, who represents the fifth district. While not obtrusive in the work there ape very few measures affecting especially soldier or the people of his district , ^Mrich fail of his attention when the mat- tof comes before committee or House. In legislation in behalf of the soldier as itell as general legislation of all sorts, his Careful and watchful attention is helpful to the house and to his* constituents.-- Evening Journal. : I W-The class most troubled over the - infer tariff bill are the importers. As they the class very slightly if at all inter­ red in building up or protecting home Manufactures, there must be some fea­ tures of the bill that do not receive their •went. The making of a perfect tariff l&i, one that meets the ideas of every body, laf jjeyoud the limits Qf human legislation. There is a clashing of self interests impos­ sible to harmonise. The dominant idea should be protection to American labor, and this we can find in the McKinley bill. lf.it stands as law for five years, we shall MS our manufacturers prospering under it. Of course, there is the danger of over production, for which the only relief is a foreign market, the same as England and Germany labor to provide. The senate will doubtless make some alterations in the bill, but its final passage and appro v- *t|ii certain. A consolidation of the general pas- •snger Mid ticket departments of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway com- - ®any, which has been contemplated for ' some time past, has been definitely decided wpon and was made effective Junel. E. W. .Wilson, general passenger agent, has l&signed and W. A. Thrall, who has for ' 3|iany years been the general ticket agent <ff the compauy, has been appointed gen- •f «ral passenger and ticket agent. Mr. §*[ • Thrall appointed J. L. Barrow, at present cif" assistant general ticket agent, and W. B. Kniskern, now assistant general passen- >; get* agent, both assistant general passen- jer.and ticket agents, increasing the re- % • aponsibility and duties of both. Jndson La Barre, who has been acting as chief Vv #lerk of the general ticket department, 5 if Will be made chief of the consolidated de- 1^"- partment No other changes are , contemplation. • , (feV* A Washington correspondent says: •}, ""The Senate Finance committee has been v ftlrtiost overwhelmed this week by the tf • frowd of wealthy importers who have llome down here hoping by the half bill- f, fen dollars which they represent to awe Republican Senators into taking cer- xg' "-lai** clauses out of the McKinley tariff IHU. These gentlemen say that if the l^cKinley bill becomes a law it will ben- «fit the American manufacturers and § 4rive the importers out of business. To I.-,,-- Which a member of the Committee re- i plies: 'That is just what ought to be £ done; the importers are of no benefit to , - anyone bnt themselves, while the Araeri- «an manufacturer benefits the whole $'•. •ouim unity by reason of the large |||v;#u?aount of money he pays out as sala- ^ •}' Ties. The business of importing might be %l Stopped entirely without any serious in- 0' jury to this country.' That is the whole p question, in a paragraph. The interests of the importer and the foreign manufac- '^t^rer are identical, and every concession |||| made to them means just so much taken |j£ * fr^m the American manufacturer." shall be accomplished. The tax payer has a right to complain, if, after being compiled to contribute to the support of free schools on the ground that the safety of the state requires the education of all the clrildren of the state, he finds that 25 per cent of them spend their time on the street learning is evil and little that is g-ood. Obstructing the Census. The mischief makers who have busied themselves of late in embarrassing the* taking of the eleventh census may con­ gratulate themselves upon having scored a point. One enumerator in New York City was assaulted with a beer glass and quit© badly hurt, and before the thing is over his assailants are likely to be punish ed to the full extent of the law. The census office can not afford to allow any such outrage to go unnoticed. The proper prote^Rpn of tens of thousands of enumerators now at work, each one hold­ ing a commission as a United States officer, demands that an example should be inaae of those plug-uglies. There is no excuse whatever for any hesitation, even in answering the questions asked by these agents of the National Government. Every one of them is sworn to secrecy, and is liable to a fine of $500 if he dis­ closes the information received. . There is really nothing personal in the informa­ tion, as the'Census Bureau only wants the details in order to make such gener­ alizations as may be useful to society, furnishing data for legitimate purposes. Thus far nothing has been reported at the office of the supervisor of the census | in Chicago of a serious character. As a matter of course a few ignorant people, uninformed as to the real nature of the inquries, refuse to give information. For the most part this refusal is due to a vague idea that there is some conncction between the inquiries made and either taxes or military service. In a city large­ ly made up of foreigners such embarrass­ ment is to be expected, as a matter of course. If any case similar to the one in New York should occur it ought to be promptly reported to the Superintendent of Census at Washington and receive immediate attention to the fullest penal extent of the law.--Inter Ocean.

Was Enacted. a, T l y t h e s t a t i s t i c s o f 1888 we find that f '"the number of persons of school-going ' iage in the State of Illinois is 1,118,472. j^r The number enrolled in the public schools ^ / . W that year was 751,349: The number enrolled in private schools in the State |was 100,465. You will see from this jfe* that the total enrollment in both public 1* 'tad private schools was 851,814. This 'Waves 266,658 persons of a school-going !%r'_ age who were not enrolled in any school, .public or private during that year. This number is almost one-fourth of the entire number of persons of school-going age. *;Sorae of these are between 16 and 21 .iyears of age, and doubtless may have |had some reasonable elementary train Bnt many of them must be of such £an age that they ought to be in school Observation in different places confirms the general impression created by these ^statistics. In the city of Chicago as J«arly as the 13 th of J une last, 4.^82 per- 0- v«fons between seven and fourteen had ^3 teen found who were not attending any In other parts of the State . ;similar condition of things has been as- . > oertained to exist. All the boys included in this great nnmber will some day, | they live, be voters, and if they grow up : , ignorant, and learn the vices which they |T* seem to be learning in the streets, they Sp f will form a dangerous element in the vot- ing population of the country. &fs ^ow was to meet this emergency that t theCompulsoryEducationLaw was passed . It was passed in the interest of education - solely. In some quarters it has been % charged that the law had a partisan purpose. Such a charge is very absurd It was advocated in the legislature by A .persons of all parties. In the senate it was passed without a negative vote. In / the house only six persons voted against 1 A large majority of both the great - parties gave it their support in both branches of the legislature. v There is also a principle involved. If it . Is right for the government to compel citizens to pay taxes for theeducation • of other people's children, it is certainly the right of that ciiizen t demand that. .
