Ti t work tiuit has been done in the past is now bearing fruit, as ns evidenced by the fact that manufacturers visit this city neatly every day seeking locations. having Ken iuf iriuesl of the natural gas and coal field by the IbrwdriuT, which ki been mailed to them t»r their friends, Kxtra copies of the ItewoouT can be had at all limes of past issues, and if you have a friend send him a p*j»er gtrieg a complete account of lh»* new ga« and urni fields. Tut Prt No of last w*si; went m:o convulsions over the & t that U. K. Traylor, trustee uf Jeffcrwt township, m trying to get that township out of debt. The reports as made showed dial in 1$£6> tliat township had a special school debt id $3,fJU2.7t>, and in I bit! it had been reduced to $1,673. This debt is all due and has been for some years, but owing to the fact that new school houses tiwl to be built the debt could not be reduc.very rapidly. During the past year Mr. Traylor was comp. budd two new sah ad t.oiuk's, and iu order to pay f r these* the levy had to be increased. The Press in comparing Logan and Jefferson township does not do justice to cither. The fact is* that liogau township only employs •even teachers, whereas Jefferson employs nineteen teachers aud ha* more than double the number of school buildings. Why was it that the l*ress did not compare Jefferson with Fatcka or Washington townships? AX the June apjmniwimeiit Washington towusi.jp iroW $3,hs..i*., Fatuka $3,Uhl.10 ns»d Jefferson $3,d3tfiS2. I’at oka township employs filleeu teacliers and Wa**h.ugUn fifteen. The Press should be fair in this iu*' ;«r ami give Mr. Traylor credit for try,i:r to reduce the deb’ of his township, and aisy stop paying iutereat on these outstanding warrants. The tax-payers will give hihs credit tar iib work. .

We Are Biwrtaiiist*. The laws of value aire as universal and unchangeable in the economic world as the law ol gravity in the material universe, j Demand aud supply are the sole and inexorable regulators of value. The advocates of free coinage of both geld and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 do not seek to run counter to the laws of nature, but they do and will fight to the death and for all time such statutory laws as aim to give gold an unjust preference over silver to the injury of the multitudes of debtors for the benefit of the j few creditors. We simply demand that ] equal rights be extended by law tt> both; gold and silver. We contend that the pres* ent commercial ratio of 82 to 1 is not the normal ratio ofr the value of gold and silver but an abnormal ratio, the result of legist lation adverse to silver and favorable to 1 gold. We maintain that before such legis1 j lation was passed open mints served to keep gold and silver at a parity in the face of , much greater fluctuations in the production of the two metals than have occurred since 1873. We are willing to go even further and state that if, after the mints are open to both metals alike at the present ratio of 16 to 1, it should be found that the parity of the metals cannot be maintained at this ■ ratio, we will then take steps to establish such a ratio as will bring about a parity: for we are bimetallists in every sense of the t word. We want liotli gold and silver, and 1 neither alone. We wage no war against gold; we do not projiose to let silver drive out gold. We fight for both gold and silver, and that for the reason that the two combined furnish a more stable standard of values than either alone, and both are requited to restore and maintain.a jusi and uniform range of prices. We believe we are right, ami we fear nothing. We are in a position, if we will, to force bimetallism on the test of the world, ami we don’t pro* pose to meekly follow where we can boldly lead.—Chicago Dispatch. The CotnpuD* ry KduraUou Law. At this time there is«no httle interest ■>*- ing taken in the probable result of the new compulsory education law^aml the follow- I ing from the Indianapolis Journal will be read with profit; The first steps toward putting the new compulsory education law in operation show that if will require considerable machin. rv, time and laU>r, and involve no small ( xjynse. The law is a very important on*\ and sh< old be given a fair ami t horough trial, dt may cause some frictionand dissatisfaction at first, but aft honest effort should be made to obviate all causes of con plaint and’get- the best results possible j from tii-' law. It provides, among other: things, f r tl>« appointment of truant offi-J cera, not te* exceed five in any county, whose1 j duty it shall b*‘to see that ail children of school age are in school at least twelve con* aecutive weeks in each school year. These truant officers are to be appointed by the' county and city su|*er>uteudcnt$ of schools acting umler the direction of the superintendent -f public-instruction nod tin secretary of the state taaird of charities. The two official# last named have scut a circular to County superintendents emlaalving their view# and making certain Suggestions in tegard to the-sfappointu.euts. The truant officers are to serve one year and receive from the county treasury $2 for each day of actual services. The state board thinks that in, a majority of the counties three truant officers will la* enough, and in some two. In a few counties five will be necessary. The circular makes some goo I suggestions in regard to dividing the counties into truancy districts, and urges strongly t hat the appointment of truant officers be j v.-ry carefully consider,- 1 and made with! ref*tenee\to fitness f work. Thi very^mnw si:per:i»c! 'lent- -hould giv,- j artiesfiar attention.! If they wish the law to succeed, do whams expected of it ami become popular they can contribute largely to this end \ by settling fi.t men for truant officers. J K«ch one cd these should r> ide within the | district for which he is appointed. and ' should be of appro ><df integrity, respected j by his neighbors, interes 1 i educational matters, and with sufficient tact hi perform his duties under the law without giving un- ‘ neve.* -ary offense, and vet with a great deal j of firmness. County superintendents .should rvalue that the new taw is on trial, and try to make truancy officers realize the sama thing in order that ill may co-opentre in making it succi-ssful. To life extent that the people will contribute to the enforcement of the-law they will save money in lessening the need for i he t* rvkes of truancy officers aud reducing their jor dicui allowI ances.

Washington Letter. 1 (From oar regular correspondent.) Washixutox, Jur>' 38, 1S97. v Senator McI.a«iKu la cue of the fex democrats who is willing to make a prediction ns to the date of the passage of the tariff bill by the senate, which nearly everybody expects to occur sometime daring the latter part of the present or the first of next week. Speaking oa the subject, Mr* McLaurin says: “I think a vote will be readied on Friday. That is hangman's day, and as the bill will bring ruiu and misery it would be appropriate to put it through on hangman's day.” Some of the republican senators expect the bill to be passed as early as Wednesday or Thursday of this week, but that is not very probable. Republicans in the House are very confident that m all iiu|*>rtant schedules, the bill as it emerges from the conference committee will closely resemble the original Dingley , bill. Secretary Sherman doeseu’t know what Mr. McKinley's Cuban policy is to be. lie 1 so informed a close personal frieud. It ha* 1 leaked out since General Woodford, the j new Minister to Spain, has been in Wash- , iugton that he isn’t in any particular hurry ( about getting to Madrid, and that he has no idea that he will actually open negoti- 1 aligns with Spain in the Kuir case, which I is to lie made the stepping stone to the i introduction of the McKinley policy towards ( Cuba, before the fail, lie will prolwibiy start late in July, but it is uot certain that he will go either by the most direct or the ( most speedy route. I Cxar Reed has made out his list of committee assignments and unless some of his kindergarten, otherwise known as the lT. S. house of representatives, do something to offend him l»etween now and then, he will announce tliem after the House has adopted a resolution setting the date for the adjournment of thelession. The new commissioner of patents, Hon. Benjamin Btitterworih, is plying the new broom or pitchfork which has been long needed. Within two weeks he hasdisbarred eight patent attorneys fur fraudulent ' practices. Mr. McKinley and Boss Hanna have concluded to al>audon the idea of Hying to get congress *v. authorize the appointment of a - currency commission at this session. Nearly every laxly except the applicant t*k«^ the- refusal of the committee of privileges and elections to vote ou the report prepared bv Senator Hoar, favoring the seating of ex-Seuator Gorbettoof Oregon, on the certificate of the Governor of that state, to mean that Mr. Corliett w ill n«ver go* the coveted '•eat. Me might have gotten the seat h«d not ex-Scnator Mitchell and his friends Uen using their influence ag.iii*s? hitu on the quiet, although it i* by no means certain that a majority would have voted to seat him, anyway. Senator “Billy” Mason will be unriurci- 1 fully guyed by his associates when he re- : turns to Washington, for having made a big bluff by telegraphing the request to have the nominations for the southern dis- 1 trict *»f Illinois held up by the senate ; committee to which they were referred, one • day, and following it up the next day by withd* awing his objection to their confirm*- . tiou. He w ill t«e complimented on hie skill 1 as a lightning change, artist. ! Some of the applicants for consular ap- ' point meats ate beginning to regard them- 1 selves as being up against a bunco game i that is being run by Mr. McKinley, and J they are kicking m much as they dare to a? long as they allow themselves to cherish j hoj*es of geiting a government berth. J Those men >av that every time they go to the white hous- to try to push along their j implication, they sre told that Mr. McKm- , ley isn't ready to take up the appointment ! * f consuls, and, yet they see the nominations of consuls sent to the Senate almost every day, and some of them have beeu young fellows whose only claims for recognition were the pocketbooks of tb*;ir fathers, or i the social “puli’’ of their mot tiers. It i* J not strange that this slate of affairs should : cause kicking. j Senator Pettigrew is apparently none the J worse because of hi* disagreeable cifierience in the Senate on Sattmlay. His physician J says that his trouble was merely a tempo*! i rary paralysis of the vw^l cords. His | ‘ sudden cessation in the moist vd the sen- j1 tenoe which formed a part of the vehement :. speech created a sensation on the floor. !,
