The Schoo;.-The entertainment given
at the school house by Prof. Hanger to
his scholars, was quite an interesting and
amusing affair. and we believe it was en-
1oyed hugely by both small and large The
Prof. as well as the other teachers, have
completely won the affections of the schol-
ars-in fact we seldom see children more
attached to persons whose duty it is to in
struct and correct. The patrons and peo-
pie generally like Prof. Hanger and seem
perfectly satisfied with the manner in
which he has conducted the school. The
free term will close in about month, but
the school may continue, which we think
ought to be the case.
StaalatoYs Visitors.-On last Saturday and
Sunday, Squire Seig was the host OF tour
of the prettiest pupils of Mr.. Miller's
school, viz: Misses Darling Park and Ka-
tie Fisher, pretty irresistible blondes, and
Misses Mary Lenard and Flora Dougherty,
charming brunettes-all Of the graduating
class. The young ladies seemed delighted

PASSAGE OF THE RlDDLEBER-
GER DEBT BILL

or rather we should write the Riddleber-
ger-F ulkerson-Pau bill, for the adoption
by the legislature of the amendment advo-
Gated by the two last named gentlemen,
quite alters the character of it, and de-
priyes it Of any special provision for the
creditor getting even his three per cent.
The bill was passed after a tremendous
scare to the Readjusters, caused by col
ored Republican, named Ross Hamilton,
introducing proposition similar to the
McCulloch bill, except that three per cent.
was the only interest to be paid-a propo-
sition which at first gave signs of securing
enough colored Republican votes to get it
through the House. When the Riddleber-
ger bill was put upon its passage Monday.
however, the colored Republicans prompt
~ re-assumed their uniform OF Readjus
tiers and voted straight along for it with
the exception of Ross Hamilton. Its pas
sage as we have taken occasion to say be-
fore, even if it escapes the perlls of the
Executive mansion. gives no sign Of peace
and quiet on the debt question.
Even as forcible REIMBURSEMENT meas
ure we see no prospect of the successful
working of this bill in the shape it has
been passed. 1t must not be for
gotten that the whole foundation Of
the plan rests on the assumption that the
revenue of the State will be reduced by
the new assessment to $2,l65, 900, and then
let us look at it working for the second
year. In the first year the tax pay
er pays so cents worth of taxes ander
it and gets 81 certificate. Of this he uses
half and all is lovely at the capitol, but
next year instead of money he will use the
other half of the certificate. In other
words, of the s1,0OO,OOO of these GER
tifcates 100000 is lost to the State. This
will reduce the net revenue of the
State to 81, 665, 900. Out of this comes
State government 100000: Public free
schools s431 700, and interest e per cent
on 20,0O0,OOU $6Oo.OOO-a total OF
81, S31 900. In other words, deficit
Of $166, 900. We have not in this made
any allowance for the appropriations by
the legislature, which Of course would
have to he paid, nor for the further reduc-
ton of the revenue by the adjustment of
the prepayment of the capitation tax,
which would at least involve s10O,O
more, because the former are not yet in
sight and the latter law is we trust
far in the future. As a matter of
fact the only hope of making the Riddle
berger bill work with success disastrous
to our credit and reputation as State as
that success will be) was to make no provi-
sion for the creditor at all and by adopt
ing the Fnlkerson-Paul amendment, give
him anything that may be left over.
After lowering the assessment, reducing
the revenue a half million, and selling out
a million of tax-certifcates at fifty cents
in the dollar, the statement that the cred
itor is to be provided for IN any shape is
strong demand on credulity.
