l have no official evidence before me
relating to the amount apportioned
to each county in December, 1873 or
1879, but I have seen a statement
which believe to be correct, showing
that the territorial superintendent
apportioned for 1873 a little more
than $63. 900. If so he did not in nv
judgment allow enough for delin-
quency. From this statement have
reason 10 believe the school popula-
ton of the territory then was about
$1,000. He spportioned to the
counties IN 1878 the sum OF sos. 49,
80. If I estimate the same amount
for 1879 it will double this sum,
making it $126, 961. so which you see
is giving to the counties say $1,000
more this year then I think will be
realized. But I will compute the
amounts raised in each county, the
amounts apportioned to each county
snd the amounts sent to or received
from each county as the computation
may show, taking for my guide the
amount apportioned by the superin-
tendent in 1878 and doubling it to
meet 1879

The indianapolis Soldiers.

The soldiers are getting very much ir
earnest in favor of the Weaver bill. A
a large mass meeting of soldiers held in IN
dianapolis few days ago, the following
resolutions were adopted:
/. That equal justice shonld be done to
our soldiers who endured the hardships OF
the war for S13 per month.
2. That there should be board of ad-
justment established in Washington,
whose duty it shall be to ascertain the diff
ference between gold and greeubacks when
payments were made to the soldiers.
8. That we beg of our congressman and
senators to give representative Weaver's
bill their hearty support.
4. That in case congress falls to equal
ize our bounty they should at least give us
a land warrant for 100 acres, as promised,
and give us the right to dispose of it as we
see ft
5. That our brave boys who risked
their lives, their all, upon the battle field +,
be paid according to promise; and il dead
paid to their mothers, wives and children.
6. We insist that either the bonds shall
be scaled down to a greenback standard, or
that the soldiers pay shall be scaled up to
a gold stannard; for we despise injustice
and wrong especially when it discriminstes
in favor Of the rich against the poor.

New York for Grant,

The Republican State committee met at
the Fifth Avenue hotel in New York and
issued call for state convention, to meet
at Utica on February 25, to nominate del
egates to the Chicago convention. Only
seven out of thirty three members were alb
sent. Utica, is the home of Senator Conk-
ling, and, from conversation held with the
members of the committee, to day, it seems
clearly evident that Senator Conkling is
entirely committed to the interests of the
Grant movement; that the state committee
guided by Senator Conkling and General
Arthur, is overwhelmingly in favor Of
Grant, and that they will Use their best
endeavors to send Grant delegation to
represent New York in the Chicago con-
vention. One reason assigned for believ-
ing that Conkling himself is devoted to the
Grant movement is that he has many
friends on the tate committee, men whose
political fortunes be made and who have
always been devoted to his interests, who
to pay avow themselves to be Grant men
only because Conkling, having no faith
that he can make a winning fight for the
nomination himself, has committed him
self to the movement. Gen. Arthur, who
presided over the committee to day, and
was known to be Conkling's most intimate
political friend in this state, said
this morning, in conversation with
we'll known gentleman that he repudiated
the popular idea that he was working for
Senator Conkling, and made no secret of
his conviction that the New York delega-
tion would be unit for Grant. He was
of the opinion that the popular current
that way was too strong to be resisted.-
This statement, made before the committee
met, is emphasized by the attitude Of its
members, who freely expressed their senti-
ments. A summary of the opinions ex-
pressed shows that twenty eight members
are in favor of Grant for first choice and
Conkling for second.

Warm Rooms.

The great tendency in winter is to keep
rooms too warm. The foundation of pneu
monia, pleurisy and pulmonary consump-
tion is frequently laid In over heated, i'll
ventilated apartments. The inmates be-
come accustomed to breathing hot, close
air, the system is toned down and relaxed,
and a slight exposure to cold and wet re.
suit in serious illness. A uniform heat of
seventy degrees is adequate from a SANTA
ry point of view in any weather. If that
temperature ia not sufficient to give
warmth, Ii is an indication shat the person
does NOT take sufficient exercise, and the
cure of it is more miles than flannel. In
the coldest weather, when the ground is
like stone under the feet, when there is 10
drip from the ewes, and when snow lies on
roofs, rooms should be ventilated. Pure air
shonld be admitted through open doors and
windows, so that the oxygen consumed by
fame and by respiration may be replaced,
and the effete and poisonous matter thrown
off the body thoroughly driven away.

A Thousand Dollar Bill.

How conductor was made richer by
from Hartford to The Springfield Repub'
lican:
Many years ago, one night while conduc'
tor Mckinney of the Southern Railroad
was taking up fares. man without tick
e1 offered him a large bill, and he, as con-
ductors are apt to do, took it along, say
ing he soon would return with the change
The purpose of these delays is to make
quiet study of the bill IN the baggage car
and see if it is all right.
When he reached the baggage car with
the bill, Mr.. Mckinney found what be had
taken,t to be one hundred dollars was bill
for one thousand dollars.
He returned to the passenger and found
that he had shifted his seat. Telling him
there was mistake, that the bill was for
one thousand dollars, he was amazed to
have the fellow repudiate the whole ar
rangement.
He knew nothing of it, and was supper.

ticket, and that it had been taken up.
Finally Mr.. Mckinney went off with the
bill, which the next day be turned in to
the company with his explanation.
1t vas deposited and drew interest for
several years, was never claimed, and final
ly was given to the conductor by the CON-
panY.
The only explanation WIS that some
bauk burglars were on the train; that they
decided it was safer to lose one thousand
dollars than to risk being arrested. Prob
ably they thought he knew of the burg

The Soldier and the B0ndhOlder.

From The Irieh World.
The Weaver bill, which had for its OBJ
jsct the paying Of eI soldiers the differ.
ence between the gold value and the cur
rency value of the pay they received in
the army is giving the hgrd money Or
gans a great deal of annoyance. The OBJ.
ject of the bill is to place the soldier credi
tor on the same footing as the bond credi-
tor. The thought that is embodied in it
is this-If the bondholder is to be paid in
gold or Its equivalent, why should not the
soldier be paid the same way2
No argument can be aduced TO prove
that the bondholder should be preferred
creditor to the soldier. The hard money
organs are annoyed at the false position
Mr.. Weaver's bill has placed them in.
They have always professed to be great
friends Of the soldier, and now their
friendship is put to the test by bill that
simply proposes that the man who risked
his life to save the government be placed
on the same footing as the man who in
lending his money had every assurance
that be would get it back with large in
tsrest.
One q the hard money organs, Jay
Gonld's Tribune, thinks it is an outrage
that such a bill should be introduced into
congress. 1t believes that it Ia an insult to
the peoples Representatives to ask them to
II skaA v1la
soldiers on an equality with the men who
having bought government bonds at less
than one half their face value, now de
mand that they should be paid in full in
gold.
1t is extremely funny to see this organ
of gambler trying to persuade the ex sol
diers that they would be debasing them
selves by asking to be paid in the same
way that the bondholder is paid. Just
listen to Gould's stool pigeon:
"a man who has served honorably in
the army is likely to have too much patri
otism and too much honest pride to clamol
for backsh0esh at the doors Of congress
He did not go into the war for the purpose
Of making q good thing out Of his coun
try's misfortunes. Whatever money claim
he had upon the nation was acquitted lonl
ago according to the terms of the contract
and he feels that to set up further de
mand now-c considering what the nature o
his service was, and what sort of devotion
it is that good citizen owes his country
would be the depth Of bsseness. We have
no fear that soldiers will ever combine t.
urge the adoption of the crazy and indie
cent measure which ths Iowa member i
promoting"
That's is rich, isn't il? The soldier, VIII,
as far as he is a government creditor is OIL
an equality with the bondholder, canno,
without being guilty Of basensss. ask th
government to do for him that which, i
the government should attempt to refus
to do for the bondholder, this sheet woul,
fill the air with shrek about Fepudia
ton and national dishonor!

ALElGUE-MONEY AND TRANSPOR
TATI0N.

From the So. Louis FsrmIs.
That there Is compact between
the money power and the transporta-
ton interest, no well informed man
can for n moment doubt. 1t has been
said that those who controll the high
ways and finance of a country, may
rule that country absolutely. That is
the object Of tho league-nothing less
will satisfy the ambition of the combi-
nation. They regard the workers, the
producers, both agricultural or manu-
featuring, as sheep and geese whose
feeces and feathers they are entitled
to, and they are determined to shear
and pluck to the very skin.
The Americans Bankers Associa-
ton is compact and efficient in its Or
ganization. The Chairman of its ex-
ecutive committee can throw the
whole power and influence of the or
ganization in any desired direction at
n moments notice.
The great railroad lines are being
concentrated at "a fearful rate.
August Belmont and Jay Gould ex-
pect to name the presidential candi
dates for 1880.
There is but one way to check the
encroachment Of the league. A Far
mer's Alliance is the remedy. The
whole power of the agricultural inter-
est of the county must be corcentra-
ted as effectually as the money inter-
est and the transportation interest
have been, or else it will always la
Dor ut a ruinous disadvantage. A
mob of n thousand men can be dis
persed by hundred well disciplined
soldiers. .
If the farmers do not organize and
protect their common interests they
will be ruled and ruined by the bank
ers and transportation companies.
We see these things as clear as day.
We give warning. We admonish you
to net while you may. The chains Of
your bondage are being forged and
rivited about YOU.
If you do not unite your own pow
er and put it in shape to be effective
ly used in defense of your interests
the day is not far distant when the on
ly way out of your capacity will b.
through sea OF blood. An ounce o.
preventative is sometimes worth many
pounds Of cure.

The national banks are required to
pay to the general government l per
cent. per annum, on the circulation,
and of one per cent. per annum on
their average deposits.
One per cent. means one cent on a
hundred. The tax on circulation was
designed to defray the expenses of the
currency bureau, or department of the
comptroller of the currency, created
especially for the benefit of the banks.
All the expenses OF the keeping up
this bureau, taking charge of the bonds
deposited as security for bank circula'
ton, printing their nvtes, chartering
banks, etc., is paid out of this tax.
Exery national banking association
in either of the following cities: AL
bany, Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati,
Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Louis
vile, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New
York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St.
Louis, San Francisco and Washing
ton, is required to keep on hand in
lawful money of the United States an
amount equal to at least % per cent.
of the average amount of its deposits;
others are required to keep on hand an
amount equal to Is per cent. of their
average deposits. The city banks are
called banks of exchange, and are le-
quired to keep on hand large per
cent. of their deposits, because they
are the depositors of all the country
and smaller city banks, on which the
the latter sell exchange or drafts
against such deposits. As these drafts
are usually for large sums, and to make
sure that they will be promptly met,
25 instead of Is per cent. of aggre-
gate deposits is required to be kept on
hand.
The duty of bank commissioners or
examiners, is to examine into the af-
fairs of the banks and ascertain
whether they are complying with the
law under which they exist.
