THE STATE JOURNAL AND THE
SCHOOL FUND.

The only notice that the State Jo'trna
makes of Superintendent LEWIS circu
lar stating the facts in relation to the
Listributable school fund this year, ls
the following:
Under Radical rule in 1870 Wood
county received of the State School
Fund SlO,529; under Democratic rule
in 1871 Wood county received OF the
State School Fund $70722l; difference
in a single year 1886 10. According
10 Superintendent Lewis circular, a
Republican administration in 1870 dis,
,ribu,ed to the different counties OF the
State School Fund S233, 1902, and a
Democratic administration in 1871 dis
tributed OF the same fund STA, $685.
difference in one year S5S, 246. 40.
This is the beginning OF the end; bat
then it is Democratic aud that makes 1t
all right"
The Journal is guilty Of suppression
Of the truth in relation to this subject
that is quite as culpable as direct false
hood. The editor was among the first
to assail the Democratic administration
because the fund distributed this year
from twelve months receipts was less
than that distributed last year from the
denominations OF seventeen months
sni, Notwithstanding he has seen SUI
pcrintepdent LEWIS circular and now
knows the facts in the case, he persists
in his Misrepresentation and refuses 10
show his readers the truth. We believe
that, with the exception OF the State
Journal, every one of the Republican
newspapers in the State, certainly all
that have heretofore commented upon
the apparent diminutlon OF the school
innd, have had the manliness TO pub
lish Colonel LEWIS letter furnishing a
full and conclusive statement OF the case
and showing that, in proportion to the
time OF it's accumulation, the fund dis
,ributed this year is larger than that OF
1870.
But the State Journal has been Itch
iny for a grievance it has been longing
for some cause OF complaint against
the Democratic State administration
aud Notwithstanding day lish; has been
let through the school tnnd question
the Journal still hugs the corpse OF it,
yrumble, tries to make its readers
believe there is some lie in the
story vet. and mutters the COM
paint it dare not utter aloud. Mr..
BEEcHER tells story OF a dog that
used to bark furiously every day at a
hole where squirrel had once been.
The dog knew there WAS no squirrel
there, but he always barked at the hole.
So the Slate Journal still bowls about
the distribution Of the school fund
though its editor knows he is suggesting
falsehood and suppressing the truth. 1t
that be the style OF journalism that
Governor SrETENsoS recommends Tor
imitation by his Radical brethren in
WestVirginia, the less it is copied after
the better.

An example Of the way in which the
people OF Georgia have been fleeced un-
der BuLLocK's administration is afforded
in the history Of what is called the
opera house job. Soon after the war, a
joint stock company began the erection
OF an opera house in Atlanta, but, funds
running short, the work was stopped
when the house was about half COM
pleted. The property was then sold at
autioD, and was purchased by KlNBALL,
Governor BULLoCK's friend, for $780, 600.
About $4,000 was spent on it by KIM
BALL-money borrowed from the State
Treasury, it is generally believed-aite1
which it was offered to the State fol
the. purpose Of a capitol at the price O
s250,OOO. The Legislature refused to
buy it at this plice, but the next Lesis,
lsture bought it and paid s3SO,0oO fol
it. The extra $4,000 was added to
the price in order to cover the cost Of
the votes necessary to make sure of the
sale.

The Elections OF lS7l-Chances In
1877

The elections for 1871 are now over,
and we can post the books and see the
political status in which we are left.
One would suppose from the cackling
in the Republican press that everything
had gone Republican, and that the
Democratic party as political orsani-
cation had been, in manner, annihi'
lated, and that it had no strength to
enter upon the Presidential election.
Now, the facts are, that the close OF this
season leaves the Democracy in the
majority in the following States:

A PARLIAMENTARY PRECEDENT-It
has been questioned whether there was a
precedent for the late action of the Indi-
ana Senate, in denying to a member who
had a regular certificate of election, ell
share in its deliberations until the ques-
ton whether he was legally chosen was
settled. The precedent has been found
in the action of the national House of
Representatives in 1889, in refusing to
swear in five wings from New Jersey,
who bore the governors certificates,
granted on fraudulent election returns.
The House organized without them, and
investigation gave the seats to the con.
testing democrats.

THE LESSON OF NATURE.

Torpor is the characterize of winter. Vegeta-
whole aspect of inanimate nature teaches us
that there ID a paralyzing influence III the air,
and ought to teach us that our bodies require an
increase OF vital power to contend with it. Some
of even the warm-blooded animals bury them
selves in the earth and remain in a state OF par
tial supefaction until the season is over, and the
elixir of the spring sunshine stimulates their
stagnant blood, and restores their vigor. But
man, although he feels the influence of the sea-
son, Can protect himself against its inclemency.
he has fuel to warm him externally, and can
tone and strengthen his internal organization
and endow it with the extra amount of vitality
which the circumstances require. Of all invigor-
ants that have ever been recommended for this
purpose, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the pur-
est and the best. Fortified by the daily use of
this wholesome vegetable tonic, the human sys-
tenn may defy the chils and damps of winter in
any latitude. Its effect is to promote a brisk
and regular circulation Of the blood, and activity
in all the secretiye organs. Without the slight
est tendency to produce fever it imparts health
full glow to the surface, and stimulates the exte-
rior vessels to discharge, in the form OF gentle
perspiration the useless matter eliminated from
the blood. Thus the system is kept unclegged.
Fever and ague, biliousness, Indigestion and coll
ic, all of which are the common consequences of
the searching damps and low temperature of
winter, may be avoided (as well as curei) by
course of this genial tonic and Alternative.

THE CANADIAN THREAT.-The threat
of the Canadians to close the Welland
Canal against our shipping in case the
United States retaliates for the exclusion
of fishing vessels from the ports of the
New Dominion, is looked upon at the
State Department as absurd. A consider
able portion of the revenue of the Domin-
ion is derived from tolls levied on vessels
passing through this canal, and more than
three-fourths of these tolls are paid by
American vessels. Such a proceeding
would therefore cut both ways.

The NEW TARIFF.-The new tariff
which went into operation on the first of
this month is expected to reduce the rev.
enue from customs about $50,00O,00O per
snnum. The reduction is rather in the
number of articles taxed than in the per
cent of duties charged, a principle which
will no doubt render the collection of the
revenue less difficult and costly. About
two hundred articles, chiefly drugs, ETC.,
are freed from duty by the new tariff,
while the duties are reduced on sixty 9TH
ers, including sugar, tea, coffee and pig
iron. On the other hand, the duties are
increased upon few articles, such as
steel rails, fax, fax.seed and oil, and
watch materials.
