The Blow Last Aimed at the Schools
lEnr the DISPATCH ------
THE MUTUALITY SCHOOL BILL.

THE MUTUALLY " SCHOOL BILL.
Messrs. Editors: No more dangerous
blow at the school system has been levelled
than this bill, providing that any one pay
ing taxes on rcnt estate in city may send
his children to school there no matter where
he resides. AS to the provision respecting
wards I do not profess to understand it.
1. 1t is crying injustice to all cities and
towns. They are conducting their schools
at heavy expense, and at the same time con-
tributing, as the returns prove, to the sup
port OF county schools, yet this saddles
upon them the further burden OF schooling
the children Of any citizen Of the Common
wealth who may choose to invest ten dollars
or one dollar in buying tax title, or 4
worthless hillside, and thereby become a
taxpayer. OF course as soon as it passes,
all who live in the neighborhood OF cities or
towns, and are able, will hasten to make
an investment so profitable.
It costs the city OF Richmond, say, Slo
year, not counting interest on her real-estate
investments, to educate each child. This IS
q scheme to permit nonresident with SIX
children to take 800 per annum out OF the
treasury of this city by becoming bogus
real-estate owner at an annual cost to him OF
probably not fifty cents in taxes. Is this
honest? School friends. is it wise?
2. In the second place, the bill will be
fatal blow to the value, and finally to the
existence, OF all county schools in the
neighborbood OF towns. The cornerstone
Of the public-school system is community
OF interest. The schools live on the SYM
patty OF the people, and without it dwind'e
and die Let this bill pass, and in every
county bordering on town the citizens
whose sympathy is most needed for the
public school will at once lose interest In il.
Now they may be counted on for aid in
every effort to better their local schools !:
then they will be Indifferent to school
they do not use-perbaps hostile to school
for which they are taxed without using it.
Can the friends OF the schools desire this
8. It is an attempt to distinguish between
the children OF the poor and rich. He Wbo
votes for this measure says to the poor cit,-
zen OF the county, "Your county school is
good enough for you, and you must be sat-
isfed with it; it Is not good enough for
your neighbor. who may own or acquire a
city lot, and be shall have better SCHOOL,
Is this wise or iustS
Let this bill be entitled GA bill to plum
der city treasures and c&terminate county
Schools" and new vote he taken. .

Foreign Trade---Resumption.

1t is cause for proud qualification that
alter our fearful domestic strife there should
be such a wide difference between our ex-
port and our import trade. The political
economists differ somewh hat about Interviews
of our foreign trade. 1t is certainly not a
matter OF accurate ascertainment as to the
pointat which our advantage ceases and our
disadvantage begins in the comparison be-
tween our exports ard our imports; but it is
at least certain that when orr exports sufti-
telsslsgT exceed our imports to cover doubt-
full ground and still leave to us a decided
amount in our favor to protect us from any
balance against Us. we occupy position
not only safe, but gratifying. .,. Z t ..s5 !.
There can be no dispute on that point. AT
the present time that is the position we do
occupy. And IL is pretty certain that we
shall be strengthened in this position the
coming year. Europe will need our grain,
and we shall probably reed little that Europe
can give us. This fac, too, assures sus that
we shall At least hold our own, and resump-
tion and sound currency will be materially
fortified, to- the confusion Of the financial

silver in the market. II that is not a
happy condition OF man we should ike 10
know why. ~
And let us here briefly revert to the adj
vantage the country now derives from tne
nonetization OF silver in the resumption
ana Ctie restoration OF the currency OF the
country to solvency and the universal conf
dence. Silver, we really believe, has made
resumption successful. Without 1T that
would have failed. Silver coin, to the extent
OF its volume, increased the width and depth
OF the paper basis Of the currency. rake
away silver and the paper basis would De
diminished to exactly the same extent. The
difference is great. 1t is needless to go into
the exact statement. 1t is plain that with
out silver the ability Of the Government and
the banks to maintain specie. payments
would haze been greatly defective. There
would have been broken back somewhere.
Now, as it is we have escaped the eonse-
quences of the control Of either the green
back hoodlums or OF the anti-silver hood
lums. Indeed, the country is safel ).
We declare that the upshot OF this. whole
matter is admirable. The United States
stands this day before the world in proud
and enyiabIe attitude. Everybody should
be happy; and nothing short OF the widest
and most ignorant policy can impair the
peace and order of the country. Without
an intervention OF the most preiudlced ana
perverse policy, we shall have in few
years nation not only independent, but
nation out of debt, harmonious, peacefui,
and happy.

TALL STORIES.


A friend of the "0rawer" was a so
ourner in ireland during the past sum
mer, and OF course visited the Lakes OI
Killarney. lie set out from the Gap oi
Dunloe, which is wild mountain pas.
intending to walk through it tothe up
per lake, which is the usual mode Of
approach Tor the tourist. While thu:
proceeding, the little hut or cabin occu-
pied by q descendant of the far-famed
Kate Kearney, that dangerous beauty
of long ago, and situated at the base of q
mountain, was passed. AS our friend
approached it, the guide-a genuine
specimen OF that race which springs
green and vigorous from the first how-
er the earth and the first gem of the
seA"-began his legends about the local
ity:
"Do you see that mountain" said he
behind the cabin therc?-I name Kate
Kearney's descindent's cabin. Well.
it's no less nor two thousand five hun
d ed feet high, and it is well known
that whin Kate Kearney from the top OF
it Enclosed her hair, it touched the base
there forint ye."
