In view of the important influence the compulsory education law, so-called, will have upon the next political c»in- paign in this state the history of this muoh-<Hso«ssett measure should be un derstood and passed upon by the voters Bpon its merits and not tipon pmlju- dicc to the advantage of one party or the disadvantage of the other. In IS90 the opponents of the compulsory law punished the republican party and rewarded the democratic party on the assumed ground that the one was in favor of the existing law, and, therefore, responsible for its passage, while the Dther was opposed to the law and, therefore, without responsibility. The republican party does not seek to avoid its full share of the responsibility for passing this now unpopular measure, but it does seek to establish its fair share of responsibility and no more. The democratic party is equally re sponsible with the republican party for its share of .criticism as it would have claimed credit if public sentiment had awarded praise instead of censure upon the general assembly for enacting the law. For the purpose of fixing the responsibility just where it belongs it is here proposed, as briefly as possible, to give the history this legislation in Jj.-i 'TV-' TVi!r+r-swPTlth 1ST The pay of the American farm la- borer has, according to a late report of the Agricultural Department, about % > doubled in the last half century, and com- tilpared with other countries it stands first In the rate of compensation.

But it was provided that any person liable to conscription -could be exempted by paying f300. In the State of New York there were 15,000 such purchased exempts. For twenty years there have been attempts to pro cure the passage of a law in that State to refund to to the persons who paid it, bat the attempt was regarded as dishon est and absurd, and always failed until the recent Democratic Legislature had its day. The Democrats passed this bill, and Governor Flower has signed it.-- There is an uprising of old soldiers that " New York feels from one end to the other." la the New Yprk Legislature ,' - - are the same Copperheads who sympa- " " thized and did all they could to aid the ^ . rebellion from '61 to '65, and who by ths aid of the Mugwumps have been put on top in that State, and this unjust mea sure is one of the results, lit is a shame and disgrace and we opine the old soldiers of that State will make them' salves felt at the coming election. m tSTMr. Blaine must feel a tendency in one eyelid to drop suggestively, when he is approached by men who fought his nomination so bitterly in 1880 and caus ed his defeat in 1884, and now with pro testations of undying affection, confi dence and admiration beseech him to take the nomination. Their evident pur pose to use him as a club simply to pre vent Harrison from receiving a well earn ed endorsement is probably very evident to the shrewd secretary. The real friends of Blaine, who have been with him and for him ever since his name was proposed in 1876, are also the friends of Harrison. They believe in the secretary so much that they are willing to take him at his word, and when he said that he did not "wijl fhe nomifiation and that the coun- * try was in such safe hands that there was no occasion for his taking it, they have • -tHattoatter settled. The few politicians who are trying to ^defeat Harrison's re- nomination are not lite people. They are for Harrison. Even the nomination of Mr. Blaine, much as the people honor and respect him, brought about as a means of revenge by a clique would . have an element of weakness and subject it to fierce attack. It would look as if he bad lent his great name to an unworthy %, purpose. ?• ' - s Very Fast. A remarkably fast run was made by a sr<j special train on the Northwestern from Chicago to Cedar Rapids, recently. The t distance is 220 miles and the run was $. "t, made in 4 hours and 31 minutes. From I*-:: the 271 minutes should be deducted a p"; five minute stop a Turner, a fourteen |S* minute delay at the drawbridge at Clinton, and several other stops for water and orders. From Clinton to Stanwood, Iowa, fifty-one miles, was g>( made in fifty minutes, including two • stops. 'The train was run by C. E. Sutter the Cedar Rapids millionaire, who was hastening home from the east on account of a fatal accident to his only son. 4 , - Low Rates to Omaha, i&v account of the Encampment of the National Competitive Drill Aesociation, the Chicago & North-Western Railway Co. will sell excursion tickets to Omaha vand return as follows: On June 11th and 12th, tickets will be sold from all stations at one fare for the round trip, and in addition to the above dates excursion tickets will be sold from June 13th to June 19th, inclusive, from etations within 200 miles of Omaha, at one and one-third fare for the round trip.

Pilcher, of Klgi *Hlbe in West Mc Henry every Monday Tuesday and Wednesday of each week He can be found at the office formerly Occupied by Dr. Cbilds and Dr. Norton, Opposite the old Parker House place. general assemblies in order that tho people of the state may be fully advised in regard thereto. The Thirty-fifth general assembly by resolution appoint ed the state superintendent of publio instruction a committee to revise the school law. The then State Superin tendent, Dr. Edwards, called to his as sistance County Superintendent A. G. Lane, of Cook county; Prot Cooke, of Normal; Prof. Dougherty, of Peoria, and Hon. E. R. E. Kimbrough, of Dan ville, and these five well-known educa tors in addition to revising the general school law prepared a separate bill pro viding for compulsory attendance at schools, and providing, also, that certain studies should be taught in order that such school should be recognized under the law. This bill was introduced by Mr. Sunde- lius, a republican member from Cook county, a gentleman of foreign birth, and, if we mistake uot, a member of the Lutheran church. The bill became known as house bill No. 557 and was entitled: "An act concerning the educa tion of children." This bill provided that children between the ages of 7 and 14 years should attend school at least twelve weeks andiiot more than twenty- four weeks in each year. The bill fur ther provided that no school would be recognized under the act unless there were taught therein reading, writing, arithmetic and geography in the Eng lish language. The usual exemptions were permitted and penalties fified for a violation of the act; but no further tompulsory features appeared in the bill than those cited. No restrictions were made as to where the child was to attend school, and no super vision by school officers. The bill was referred to the committee on edu cation which reported amendments pro viding for the appointment of truant officers and adding to the studies to be taught "history of the United States." This bill passed the house by a vote of 106 yeas to 3 nays. The three nega tive votes were all democrats. Of the affirmative votes sixty-three were re publicans and forty-three were demo crats. The republican vote fell four teen short of enough to pass the bill without the aid of the democrats. The affirmative democratic vote was a ma jority of all the democrats elected to the house at that session. It was voted for by such democrats as Crafts, Farrell, O'Donnell, of Cook; Craig, of Coles; Converse, of Sangamon; Hunter, of Knox; Wells, of Adams; Eddy, of Mc Lean; Merritt, of Marion; Mooney, of Will, and others. The bill went to the senate on May 9 and was not acted upon until May 23, when, under a suspension of the rules, the chairman of the committee on edu cation called up the bill on second read ing and offered by way" of amendment an entire new bill which was enacted into the law as it now stands on the statute book, and with which all are familiar. This amendment*, which became the law, had been prepared in Chicago by a committee representing all shades of political opinion and all shades of religious belief. A sub-committee, con sisting entirely of Chicago men, had ar rived in Springfield the same morning that it was offered in the senate, bring ing the new bill with it. This amend ment had not been before a committee or before either house until it was of fered as a substitute for the house bill in the senate. No senator knew fully its scope and purpose. The districts outside of the city of Chicago were not asking for any legislation of this kind, for there was little need of it. The vis itors represented that the measure pro posed by them was just what Chicago, with its thousands of truant children, needed and must have. With scarcely a moment's considera tion, because it was accepted on faith, the house bill was set aside and the sub stitute adopted. The next day, by unanimous consent, the bill was taken up tfnd passed, 42 yeas and no nays. Of this vote 33 were republicans and 9 were democrats. Nearly two-thirds of the democratic members of the senate voted for the bill. Such well-known demo crats, as Higbee, of Pike; McDonald, of Morgan; Newell, of Woodford; Reavill, of Crawford; Rickert, of Monroe; Seiter, of St. Clsfir, and Shumway, of Christian, recorded their votes in it* favor. The bill thus amended was returned to the house and concurred in on the same day that it passed the senate by a vote of 91 yeas to 6 nays. No consider ation whatever was given this practically new bill in the house, and it is safe to say that not a single member of the house, republic an or democratic, knew exactly what they were voting for when the senate amendment was concurred in. They only knew that Chicago educators, Protestant and Catholic, republicans and democrats, had asked for this bill in place of the original measure. An analysis of this vote shows that 64 republicans and 87 democrats voted for concurrence and to pass the bill. Uf the 6 negative vote > 4 were democrats and 2 republicans. Such well-known democrats, not already mentioned as voting for the house bill, voted in fayor show ihut the republicans could not have passed the bill or amendment without the aid of democratic votes. The record show ̂ that a majority of the democratic members elected to each house voted for the law as it now stands. The record further shows that a majority of the democratic members elected to both houses voted for the law as it now stands. The record shows that the two parties are equally responsible for Hie law. If a mistake was made--and public sentiment seems to so decide--then both parties made a mistake. What, under the circum stances, then, would be the fair and honorable way to proceed? Either to amend the law so as to make it satis factory to the people or to repeal it en tirely. Amendment was demanded at the last election and both parties were committed in their platforms of 1890 to amendment. What was the result? An honest and earnest attempt wan made by the republican members at the late session tot amend the law. What did the democrats do? They passed a bill in the bouse which they knew would not be accepta ble to the senate, and which would >not have been acceptably to the people; next, they evaded a con ference with the republicans on the bill I/O upuu «i « mise, and, finally, flatly refused to con fer at all for no better reason than that the law as it stands had served their party a good turn in 1890 and they wanted to hold it over for 1892. 'This was so plainly apparent that the re publican members of the conference committees of the 'Thirty-seventh gen eral assembly put on record the follow ing: Mr. Berry, on behalf df the confer ence committee, presented the follow ing report, viz: To the Senate and Home of B*pmentativ*9 Oj the Thirty-Seventh General A»*et/U>ly: Your conference committee, appointed to con sider house bill No. 729, and the differences be tween the two houses in relation thereto, re spectfully report that they are unable to agree in relation thereto.

Mr. Berry also submitted the follow ing supplementary statement, to-wit: SPRINGFIELD, June 12,1801. The undersigned, two of the senate conferees on house bill No. 729, respectfully report to the senate that as an attempt to harmonize the dif ferences between the two houses on said bill, the three republican members of the conference committee submitted to the democratic mem- Jjers thereof a written proposition, of which the paper hereto attached is a duplicate, that the democratic members rejected said proposition and refused to concur in the recommendation therein embodied, and that said democratic members offered no basis of settlement of the dif ferences at issue, but insisted on the passage ol • bill striking out the compulsory teaching ol any branches of the English language. O. F. BERHY, . ROBERT H. WILIS. The undersigned republican members of the conference committee on house bill No. 729, known as the compulsory ed ucation bill, hereby offered to Join in a report recommending that said bill be amended by substituting the words"readlng and writing" for the words "reading, writing and the history of the United States," wherever the words last mentioned occur in the bill, and further recommending that the Dill so amended be passed by both booses of the general assem bly. O. F. BERRY, ROBERT H. WILIS. Of the Stnai* D. P. KELLER. • Of the Route. Now, the people demand the repeal of the present law, and the republican party ought to, and* we believe it will, accept this demand as imperative. The republican party, echoing the loyal sentiment of the "old commander," has no policy to enforce against the will of the people.

He quotes Lord Derby as stating that the losses of English land owners have been £300,000,000 (equal to $1,459,800,000 in United States money), and he estimates the losses of tenants at $600,000,000.
