unlsss The Beard should succeed Ia sui. il hss com
meoced to compel the Controller to pay over the
SIG, 600 already referred to IS appropriated By
him to meet the advances Of 1914. Should this
suit fail. as seems probable, nothing bat stric:
economy such e. has been unknown for four years
past viii enable the Board TO get 10 TIE end Of the
year without new deficit.
While this remarkable increase has taken place
in tie cost Of the SCHOOL, which il thus appears hs.
more than doubled in four years, We find 10 cor
Responding increase in the number Of schools AID
pUpils Ia the year l-j2, when the whole cos; va.
but s434 ,574 the number Of schools was 2l5, aud
the whole number Of pupils taught l27, 257. In
the year lust closed. in which the expenditures,
exclusive Of 500 go and more Of unsatisied appro
pris,ions have been some 800, 90, the number Of
schools, according to the recent elaborate address
Of TIE Presdest Of the Board upon the occasion Of
bis reelection was 2l7, and the whole number Of
pupils ~. pc. In four years the expenditures
double, while the number Of pupils remains sta
tOnaIy.
Nor ia this great increase Of cost to be ascr.bed
exclusively TO the building Of new sch Dol houses.
CON arson Of the current expenses OF the schools
snd Of the cost per scholar for twelve months aver
age attendance will show a similar result. The
current expenses for the year - were 1922 C92;
for l-53 :37l ,327 for l,.i. Si3l,73o; for $50,
$40 0i2 for >lsjG, S5-i,9iO. For seven years
previous to 1888, the cost per pupil on an acreage
attendance Of twelve months YVES SC g. The cos:
per pupil during the last year has been on the
average, >l3 II. 1t viii thus be seen that tais
rapid Dcrease Of eyperJ ture extend. TO every DE-
partment Of the school system. 1t Is certainly an
increase which needs explanation, and We trust
that il satisfactory explanations can lie given,
those by whom tn rapid increase of expenditure
has been authorized, will not be SLOW in laying
them before the public.

on the other hand, were about TO pour shells AID
rockets upon the Chinese quarters. The destruc-
ton Of Lfe and property must be immense.
TIE Persian war is also being urged with uneI.
pected activity. British feet has taken po-ses-
zion Of the ISLAND Of Ksrak in the Persian Gulf aud
appeared before Bushire on the main lard opposite.
That place, the principal commercial por. Of Persis,
has no means Of defense and must surrender. At
the same time we learn that British corps Of 3 900
men, under Bngsder Chsmberlsyne, said to be one
Of the abest officers in the East India service has
reached CabOo With view 10 aid Dos! Mohsmuled
10 defeat the Perish, and recover possession Of He

people, while The London Times announces that
nOlhing less is in hand than The conquest and annex

IN smother column Wi be found etter IRON the
Hon. samuel \. Puryisnce explaining the reasons
OF d.. vote acainst the passage Of the bill authoriz-
ng tie Territory Of Minnesota to form a State
Constitution.
IL addition To the objection 10 which We alluded
in the article OF which TIL. letter complains, that
urder the phrsseology Of the bill, borrowed from
the Territorial organic act aliens might be admitted
10 take part in the formation and adoption OF the
State Constitution, Mr.. Pursiance states another
objection which he had 20 the Bill. nimeIy the
adoption OF north and south instead Of an east
sna west line, as the boundary between the new
State "a be formed and the proposed new Territory.
IA 10 this question between north and south,
snd al cas-. and west line of DIVISION there is much
to be said on both sides. We prefer the north aud
south line, but had the other been adopted, We
should hardly have regarded that as sufficient
reason for voting to defeat the bill. With respect
10 no opportunity hating been allowed for amend
ment, We take it, had the thing been seasOnably
suggested, the same amendment might have been
made to this bill that actually was made to the
Oregon BILL We are not aware of the existence Of
any reason why the thing should have been allowed
in the one case and refused in the other The fact
We pre.ume, was, that this objection was not
thought of TIL after the bill had psssei under the
previous question.
Our object in the article referred to, was TO call
the attention of the parties concerned ~ the neces
sity of union and a steady front upon question.
invoking the interests of Free Labor, and Of not
presenting 10 our Southern friends the spectacle Of
. disposition 70 hazard, IN conflicts Of opinion on
jp.nor topics, TIE political strength which our mum
heTs ought 10 give US.
