The latest address, which we have
noticed at more length in another
column, offers the opportunity which
many men have sought. 1t is a pro
position Of direct snd positive organiza-
lion en- the debt. without regard to past
party affiliations. Robert Beverly and
his ilk abandon the conservative party
TO affiliate with Rlves, Hughes and
Wickham and Riyes, Hughes and
Wickham abandon the republican party
% tar as state politics are concerned, to
affiliate with Beverly ( Co.
Now let US have ii These gentlemen
have done more TO settle the debt
question than they could have accom-
phshed by any ether means. They
nave invited division On the question:
They have asked that old party lines
be obliterated, and that new societies
be formed TO elect men to Office in favor
of paying the debt as funded and OF
raising the taxes 20 de it. They say
they must have organization and a
campaign next summer. Heaven speed
the summer !
We want the question settled by the
people. and these gentlemen have
chosen the manner OF submitting it to
them. Ifany readiuster had done this
he would have been branded as traitor
10 the conservative party.

ton? To gctrid of this fund We must
amend the constitution and then re
pudiate portisn Of every contract o.
loan. Rejecting men must see that
the sinking funds very essential parl
OF State contracts of loan, with the credi-
tor. When his bond falls due he cam
not sue the State, nsr could be enforce
a Judgment. There is no known or
mprovised means of paying the prin'
cipal of the debt except by the sinking
fund. 1t may be answered that these
new bonds have yet 20 years to run.
Grant il; and we still must conccde
that the few unfunded bonds have 3
claim upon this sinking fund viii Oh
amounts, now that these bonds are due.
to a vested right. If we IAN ignore
their right to the principal by the means
provided for its extinguishment without
dish"nor. we can repudiate every dollar
of the State debt without disgrace.
When Hon. A. II. II. Stuart was chair
man of The house committee on finance
he held strenuously to this view and
W. approved 1t then as now.
The literary fund is in no sense n
debt due to the State to herself. 1t is
a debt due BY the State to the children
of the State for their education. 1t Is
constituted Of the proceeds OF fines
forfeitures. escheqts, waste aud unap-
nropriatcd lands and the contributions.
If any. by the L. s. Government. 1t
Is older than the debt, beginning with
the year 1910, and has been sacredll
held Ter its sacred purpose every since.
The lerai title of the children TO the
proceeds of waste and unappr prlated
land. was always as good as that OF the
land owner TO his wheat crop. The
lrcal title to the products is in tie
children or it is nowhere so With
escheats. fines and lerieitures. The
man who weuld cUnfscate this fund 10
the payment of railroad and canal debts
would be capable OF perpehatlng any
other crisae against helpless victims. II
is fund that no creditor and no tax
oaver ever Lad, or ever can have. any
