Every Sin to Pwsisbe* an* Every Virtue to Aewarde*. Maybe it is true and maybe it U uot true that every tin to punished and virtue to rewarded. If It to true, It will take an existence in the next world to verify the assert ion. Evidently it was not the doctrine of Christ, whose word no man in Cl^toteudoni has ever disputed. lie taught a doctrine iu all respects different, and set forth that, in this life, the doctrine that every siu to puuished, is uot a truism; but. if you accept the aoc* triue of a hereafter, then the teachings of Christ will sustain the assertion that “every sin to punished and every virtue is rewarded.” But even in this life it to so near true that it nays one to live as though it were always true. Go to the poor, to whom our Savior prom toed the larger slice over on the other shore, aud you can not bv any argument convince them that all the sin is puuished and all virtue rewarded in this life, for they have among them those wlmse characters are a monument of virtue, yet .they suffer from circuinsUucet for krhich those who do not suffer are accountable. Iu this case, sin to not puuished (though uot rewarded) and virtue suffers, though not from affliclions sent as a punishment for their being good. Every act, however, has its results, and it the act be such as will produce a punishment, some otic ■ or something will suffer, so that iu ; this sense every sin is punished; but it is s truth that the sinner to sometimes the scape-goat, while some innocent parly is the sufferer, so that if I the doctrine of the punishment of the sinner for eveiy sin to verified it must Be by a divine code by which the sinner will receive his puuishmeut iu the j eternal hereafter. Thu would seem i plausible at first blush, and even if silted till ouly the actual truth remains, there would Jtill be left some thing to establish Ihe assertion from our own stand-point. Again, if the Hereafter must have a punishment for siu in order that the creatlou^mav be complete, there surely must be a reward for virtue In the world to come, else the order of creation would til l»e incomplete. A belter doc-j ne, or one equally as go-nt. is that j » soul is changed as constantly as J the being performs the act of existing, and that if these acis are calculated j to produce a stato of happiness the | being is happy ; reverse the acta, am# the being is unhappy. Of course this i doctrine does not exclude the tact that j the result of an evil may tail upon j Olliers than iu author, any more than j it excludes the doctriue that many | maybe blessed by the virtues of s tingle individual. Now, if these ides* be correct, we must Iks permitled to assert that there is such a thing as total depravity, and that a being j may get iu such a coudition that the J soul cannot ins freed from its boil-1 iage except by the interposition of fine power.

Dunning, a writer of some prominence on financisd subject*, has published a table giving the total amount ot money in circulation each year from 1SG6 to 1887, and, the amount per capita. In 1866, with a population of 85,819,231, the total amout t of money iu circulation was 11,863,400’IC, or *52.01 per capita. As population increased the volume of money was gradually reduced, until 1887 a total ot *423.452.321 remained. or *6-67 per capita tor a population of 63,535,674. In considering what the effect of a small amount per capita has to do with the exchange of the products of labor,'says the Detroit Advance, it is weir to keep in mind that ail exchanges are made either in cnalti or credit The morp

=——-*— --=^ «|ib the lew credit. At present nearly 95 per cent. of the exchangee are made with credit currency, such me time checks, drafts, etc. Credit currency is always expensive, for it is j but auother form of usury, and for that reason is encouraged by the same men who are so anxious to reduce the circulating medium or cash currency. We have reached a point where the makers and controllers of this credit currency have both the producer and the distributer by the throat, and in no way could thev have secured till* grip bnt by the contraction of the cash curreuey, as is indicated by Mr. Dunning's table. It is well understood that the more cash currency the people have, the less credit currency thev- use and Ihe less usury or inter-i est they pay. Firm this anyone can< tell why the rnoucy kings and “protected” karouii want a contraction of the currency.

It was believed that Nicholas Fill>eck of this city would certainly icceifc the appointment, j and there will likely be a great kick ; from the latter, who is noted as a kicker. Gen.

The Indianapolis News, which supported Gen. Harrison at the luat election, say*: Ihe latest Information from Washington regarding the appointment of a Pension Commissioner is not rea»inring. It is stated that the President is in deep perplexity because he can not find a tnau qualified for the position who will be satisfactory to himself and also receive the approval of the Grand Army of Iho lb-public, which means, more plainly, that the President is endeavoring to placate an element whose demand* tie knows catt not and should not be acceded to. As ait organization the Grand Army has given to Tanuerism the stamp of its approval aud the administration, at a deplorable late day, has given the itauip of disapproval. It is not apparent that tliete can be between tbe. two any halfway ground. They are is wide apart as law aud lawlessness —words tba1: correctly define the two tides—and an inch outside the other is as uujut^iliably wrong as a mile. If the Gratuf A rmv men will not be content with the full measure of the law's illowaucc, the President cau not rightfully try to satisfy them; if that july is what they want, there is no ipparenl reason why there should be tuy trouble with them. ATTENTION! \ Few Truths That Give The Lie to The Octopus. A. Letter Fj'om State School Superintendent LaFollette, Addressed t j The People o( Indiana, Explaining rhe Unties ef School Trustees aid Those in«barge ef School Affairs. Bean, Kcfl .'cl, KUS to Pooled oil Iho how Low. The school book monopolists have received the first blow that has ever made them (eel the stiugot their ain. Ail the people have to do it to stand bv the actn of the last Legislature. Tbe mono|>elUts first thought they could mako the law unpopular by sttackiug lit and declariug the books could not be publLhed at tbe price* set forth; but, as soon as tbe new company was formed ther offered I heir book I cheaper, thus giving the lie to theiirown words. Failing in everything else, they have resorted to putting out; falsehood* about the new books, in hope that they will be able to produce a dissatisfaction among the people to prereut adoption of the books. Any one at all acquainted with the methods of the monopolists would hare expected this; for, no difference what books became the adoptid ones, the octopus would have made an attack on them with falsehood and bribery. The monopplists hare deceived a ft w honest people, and hare bribed a few editors in Indiana and a few agentti to hurl their falsehoods to ill tbe open ears that can be found. ago the Petersburg concerning the new that, upon invettigabe false. A good > a fitw. r»

mens charitably inclined, believe that he copied these false assertions, as they have been going the pounds of all the local papers that have been bribed against the interest of the people, and iu the interest of the monopolists. And only last week the Petersburg Press published an article in which the editors try to show that the school trustees may or may not introduce the new books as they will. This is false as their quotations of the mistakes of the new books. The only liberty tho trustee has is to prescribe the punishment for those who do not comply with .the law. The trustee has nothing to say in the matter, and is compelled by law to introduce the new books in order to give the people good books at fair prices, aud to produce a uniformity of textbooks, so that pupils will not hare to buy new books every time they move from ono county to another, or from one schiml corporation to another, as is often the case, as well as to prevent the outrageous prices that have been so expensive to the people. The Press pretended to have from Supt. LaFollette a letter supporting his assertions. Such a lettar may have come to the Press, but the mistakes that paper made in criticising the books, together with LaFollette’s real letter which we pubblish below, will cause many people to hare little faith in the reliability of that esteemed journal. Mr. LaFollette sent out hit letter, July 2d, last. We give it to the people and defy any man to disprove its authenticity as we publish it! We ask the people to read the questions of ihe Stale Superintendent, and their answers by the Attorney General, and see that it is true that the trustee must introduce the new books, and all that he is permitted to do is to prescribe the puuishnieut for these who refuse to comply with this wholesome law for the people, and unwholesome law for the monopolist*. Right reverends, aud wrong reverends, of whatever politics or religion, study the questions and answers by tho Attorney general, as w^aiMr, LaFollette’s whole let-1 ter, as follows: Indiana ports, Isn., July 2ft 1889.

Quite a number of Important questions have I ceil addressed to this office by school officials in various parts of the State. The most Important legal questions have been submitted to the Al.oruey General for his opinion thereon, which questions and the answers thereto are herewith Included, as follows:

7/un. Harvey AT, t.a rvttette, &u]iennleruUnt a) 1‘ubne Jnstruetivn : Sin—You have put to mo certain intentions, whtch.1 t ony ami aaswer in their order. 1. “It, the new school book law compulsory ttpou the school Irostees,>.r Is It directory?” The language or the act. eo far as It itetlnes the duties of school trustees, Is Imperative or compulsory in It* nature. Sec sections 7 and H. 2. -Is the trustee liable on his official bond If he refuse to make requisition or demand for the books provided tor by the new school law?" Section T of the net makes It the duty of the school trustees to certify to the county superintendent the numtier of school books provided for in the contract which are required by the children for use in the schools of their several school corporations. That section de Ones the duty of a trustee in that particular, ft. 8. 1881 is as follows Section 5*18 "All official bonds shall be payable to the State of Indiana, and every such bond shall be obligatory to such State upon the princl pal and sureties for the faithful discharge of all duties required of such officer by any law, then or subsequently In force, lor the use of any person Injured by any breach of the condition thereof" If the trustee falls to obey any command of the new school book law he will violate the conditions of his bond, and will be liable tn damage* in action tbereou brought by any person Injured by reason of such violation. See, also, Davit rt. 1 he State. 44 Ind. 38. S. "Can trustees retain the old books in the schools and permit the pupils to buy only such books as are now necessary, or must they demand of the pupUs fltat they buy ail new books, as far as adopted by the state Hoard, in order to secure uniformity f" - The trustees are n*i allowed to retain the old books tn the schools and permit the pupils to buy such hooks only as are now necessary. The trustees are not given any disere-, tlooary powers In such matters by the act under consideration. They possess such powera only a* are given by the express terms of the act or by necessary implication. The last proviso of sect but T recognises the right of school trustees to devise means and make arrangements for the sale, exchange or oilier disposition of such book* us may be owned by the pupils at the time of tits adoption of the books under the provisions of the act No other powers are given them hj the act so far as the books nowin use are concerned. Iftb*, Legislature had Intended that the trustees I should have the power to permit the use of I the old books it would 1 ave been conferred in plain term*, or would have been made to appear by the use of language warranting such an Interpretation without doing violence to I the ordiunry rules of statutory construction, j Again, H i» apparent that one of the objects I of the new law ts to secure uniformity In the use of school books in the common schools { throughout the state. Such uniformity can not be obtained If the pupils are allowed to I retain the books now in uae. fur some of the ' pupils, by necessity, will be compelled to buy the new books, while others will be using the old ones, to the utter desuaetlon of uul fortuity. . _i . n Upon the trustees Is cast the duty of selling the books and securing the desired uniformity W.th this duty dwell* the corresponding power to demand that the pupils shall buy the new books adopted by the State Board of Education. • £ 4. -If patrons refuse to purchase the new books and send their children U* school with their old books, can they be compelled to purchase the uewly adopted books, with the ai-1 tentative of having their children suspended from school? Can a child ha-excluded from school privilege* for refuWg to buy the newly adopted books?” ^ The various dutins enumerated ih the act, or arising from necessary implication, devolve upon the officer* of the taw only, for, none oilier than official dutie* are defined. j The law. however, expect* pupil* to use the new books If they attend the public schools, but it docs not Bx auy penalty If they attend the school* and do not use the new hook*. Therefore the question of punishment Is necessarily left to the decision of the school authorities. The t rustees have the power IT prescribe by rules that the new books shall be used by ail the pupils, and Bx a reasonable punishment —such as suspension or the like—if the rules are violated. This principle Is established by the decision of our Supreme Court In The State r*. H’ehhrr, 108 Ind., SI. decided In 18S8, the opinion being written by Chief Justice Howfc. The accepted doctrine is. that the general power, residing In school trustees, to take charge of the educational affair* of a district or prescribed territory of any kind, includes the power to make alt reasonable roles and regulations for the discipline, government and management of the schools within the district or territory. It la for the school trustee* to decide what reasonable rales shall be prescribed for such purposes. Wllhont such rule* there Is no way to eomperthe parents to purchase the new books, or prevent! the pupils from using the old ones. 5. "Will an unexpired contract between the County Board of Education and any other company than ate be binding upon the county --e—. a written wilh the-- .... _ . such Board? la i«r adopted by the County Board of Education binding upon the corporations composing such school countyf** I do not know of any taw which baa authonxvd such a contract.

— The object of that law Is to prevent the frequent changes of school bonks. 8. “If the trustees Ignore the law and use the books heretofore adopted and now In use, how can they be compelled to order the use of t he new ones? If trustees order the books, at required by law, and keep the same on sale, as provided by law. but roll or refuse to enforce the use of the same in the schools under their jurisdiction, how may such trustees be compelled, if ahull, to enforce the use of such books In their schools?” The remedy Is the writ of mandate under section I16g.lt. S., 18SI 7. "What part of section 4136, R. 8., 1881. which prescribes the powers of county boards ofedncatlon In the adoption of text-books. Is repealed by operation of this law? In other words, can county boards hereafter adopt text-books In grammar, history, physiology, ' In which text-books have or any other branch 1___ not been contracted for by the State Board of Education: and If so, arc such adoptions bound ny the limitations of six years as heretofore f" The section you cite Is now operative to the extent that the County Board of Education ean only adopt such school books as are not covered by the contracts made under the new law by the State Board of Education By reason of the new law the County Board of Education ean do no more than adopt the school books not included In the contracts mentioned. The contracts nullity all previous adoptions of school books embraced within the terms of the contracts In other ■ words, such adoptions do not prevail against the contracts made under the new law. 8. “Can trustees In ordering books tor their townships order a less number than will be required. In their judgment, to supply all or the pupils In their respective school corporations?* No. The statute says that they shall certify “the number of school text-books provided for in such contract required by the children for use In the schools of their several school corporations,” section 7 In conclusion I will say that the words “trustees” and "school trustees” wherever used In this oplntou. are iutended to Include township trustees and the school trustees of towns and cities The territory under their control is the township, town, and city respectively. See in this connection sections 44S7, 4438,44* 4438,4414, 4445. R. S 1SS1 Respectfully submitted, L, T. MICHK5BR. A Korney General. The necessarily vast Increase In the correspondence of this department, which Is already very great, makes It very desirable that the requisitions from the various corporations and counties should be as complete In the first Instance as possible. The fact that the recent Legislature failed to make any apptopriatinn to meet the increased expense of the department by the provisions of the school book law, compels the Superintendent to meet this expense personally, which bunion may be greatly lessened by the care of school officials In making their requisitions. We earnestly trust that every school official will give these mfbt Important matters his Immediate and thorough attention. We shall be glad to promptly answer all questions and render every possible assistance to superintendents. trustees and teachers In the adjustment of all questions and dldleulties that muy arise.
