SENATORS burgess and Houston

SENATORS burgess and Houston
have addressed letter to the gov.
ernor suggesting that in the call fol
an eA ira session of the Legislature
the matter of reducing taxes oil
wholly remitting the state tax fol
one year be mentioned. A cash
balance, where a state owes money
is good thing to have, but one ex'
treme is too apt to be followed by
another, and therefore it might be
well to steer clear of the proposition
that state taxes for 1882 be remit
ted; and yet Senator Houston thinks
it may be done.

In the late war between Chilli and

IN the late war between Chill and
Peru the former has had the advan-
tage of the latter in intelligence,
and in moral standing. Chill has
advanced further in civilization than
any of the South American states.
IL has in operation one university,
four colleges, eleven academies, 79S
comon schools, two normal schools,
one agricultural college, one school
of arts and sciences, one military
and naval academy for the educa-
ton of officers, and one school of
soldiers orphans for the education
of non-commissioned officers. There
are 3S2 private schools with l4,044
pupils, in addition to those sup
ported by the state. The univer-
sity has 1924 students, 724 in the pro-
fessional schools, and 800 under
graduates. The four colleges in the
provinces contain 1927 students, pre-
Po'i AOi UiOiCSSlOuul vi IlCTCuu-
tile careers. The number of stu
dents enjoying the advantages of
collegiate and professional educa-
ton at the public expense is about
5000 while the principle of popular
education has been so extended that
even fifteen years ago Chill ranked
with France OH the basis of the per-
centage of the population who
could read and write. There is a
great lesson in all this. Chill has
prOspcred and in war has been sue
cessful, because the rights of the
people have been respected and the
people have been taught the value
and Importance of their institutions.
Then when war comes there is a
country to fight for, there is money
in the treasury, and there are bayo-
nets directed by brains.
