VIZ HAVE NO praise to bestew upon
the Legislature for reducing quorum
of members of the Board of Education
to ten. ltmay perhaps do no harm,
but it is not creditabls to the Board,
that out of twenty members it had to
adjourn time after time without
quorum, and it is very doubtful if
even with the amended law quorum
of ten members will 10 mach more east
ly got together than twelve. The fault
lies in not -lecting persons who have
time to attend the meetings, or rather
those who are 50 much interested that
they will take time to attend to it. The
first Saturday Of May, the time for
electing members of the Board, will
soon be here and there are twelve
members to be elected. 1t is hoped
that there will be an utter absence Of
partisan feeling in the election. and
that the only test OF candidate will
be competency and disposition tc
make little sacrifice to attend the
meetings of the Board and to visit The
schools. If these kind of candidates
are elected to the Board it will be- fouuC
that fifteen cut Of twenty would no
be too many for quorum.

IS AN HONEST ELECTION New York City

jority, but if every safe guard Of the
ballot box was removed there could
easily be a Democratic majority of S0,-

ise drop you few pencil notes rela-
tive to the meeting of the Philadelphia
annual conference. You have already
seen an account Of the meeting held in
st. Stephens church last evening. 1t
was, Of course, only Introductory to the
opening Of the session proper, which
took. place at 8 o'clock this A. NJ, in

presiding.
The Bishop read the 4th chapter Of

hymn:

THERE IS ONE Mississippi man who
objects to being styled a colonel. He
says he was born cripple, and his
only mode of locomotiOn is whes

We HAVE NOT heard Of any movement
being taken by the Levy Courts Of Kent
and Sussex counties to pay those $685.
900 which they have owed the State
for the last three years. When the
expose was made some weeks ago, we
were told by the 'Delawarean' that
Kent county was waiting and willing
to pay up whenever the demand was
made, and a penny liner for city pa
per, stated that Kent was not only able
and waiting to pay her share, which is
81, 900, with two yeais' interest, but
that she had $50, 900 in the Treasury
out of which to pay it. 1t is noticeable,
however, that it is net paid yet, and
instead of there being $4,000 in the
Treasury with which to pay it, there
is no money in the Treasury, and the
warrants Of the county are hawked
around at a discount. AS the Legisla
ture refused to investigate the case
Mr.. Wafe voting with the Kent anG
Sussex members against investigation
We may reasonably conclude that th'
State will b. cheated out Of the $2G, ,0O(
with two years interest, amounting il
all to $29, 100, and New Castle county
will have to make up the deficiency
