Gov. Tilden, by his mastery manage
ment Of the finances OF New York state, has
reduced its expenditures by millions.
Grant and his senate are using their best
efforts to defeat the attempt to save 4C

consent to the reduction of expenses de.

The Moline Water Power Company.

1t will be seen, by our Moline column.
that Charley Atkinson and Charley Deere,
with two brother Republicans, x-Con-
gressmen Price and Hawley, have gone to
Washington to persuade congress to bury
more money in that water power folly.
The government has already been bled
we'll on towards a million of dollars for the
benefit of the Moline Water Power Co. and
we trust that the United States will squan-
der no more money on that miserable
abortion for power at the Arsenal. The
interest on what has already been wasted
would keep the Arsenal in engines, boil
ers, fuel and tending forever-and yet
they have got no power, and DO certainty
that they ever will get any power at the
Arsenal. And the probability is that,
ultimately, the government, after squander"
dering a million more there, will have to
abandon the whole thing as worthless, as,
at low water they can't get water into the
dam without continual dredging, and the
dam will constantly fill with sand Better
stop spending any more money on that
folly and use steam.
But why this sudden furry of the No
line Republican magnates? While HaT
ley was in congress he managed to get al
the money they wanted. and in return the,
gave him and the whole Republican ticke
a big majority every time-and certain
cash books showed that Mr.. Hawley 60
well paid besides. What's the matte
now? Charley Atkinson has recent
boasted that he didn't ask any favors G
congress-he had got contract by which
the government Tor the war department
would be compelled to put up $l60, 900 NOR
, for the Water Power Company, this yeai
in spite of congress. IF this is SO, VIII
! this sudden hegira to Washington?
} For the Arsenal proper we trust tia
congress will be liberal, and make as larg
an appropriation as possible-but for tn

School Election o-Morrcw.

An election for two members of the
board of education will be held ut the
court house tomorrow, to fill vacan-
cies caused by the expiration of the terms
of NJ D. Merrill and Mylo Leo 1t is
understood that these gentlemen will be
candidates for reelection. We have
nothing to say against the men-but it
would be desirable to know something of
the opinions Of the men who are to hold
Office for some years and control the
assessment of taxes and the expenditure
of money. Our schools are too expensive
and have gone far beyond the true rule for
common schools only such as the
law authorizes or ought to authorize.
The school board has been a sort of
close corporation, run III the interest
of the churches instead of the
taxpayers interest The teaching of
languages and classics should be abolished
in our common Schools" and only the
common branches of gu English education
should be taught. The reading of the
bible in the public schools, supported by
the common money of all the people
should not be permitted. And if one suit
able 1rish-American citizen AMI one
German American could be found who
would accept the Office it would be public
benefit to thus recognize those nationali
ties in the election of members Of the
board.
