Mr.. Becl.ciih Opposes an Increase Of
SCHOOL Tar.

In the House Of Delegates on Wednesday
of last week there WAS lively discussion OF
the proposition to increase the school tax
one hundred per cent Mr.. Beckwith, who
is staunch friend of the free school system,
and representing Jefferson county which is
taxed heavily already for school purposes
large proportion of the funds going cut Of
the county-yery properly opposed the in
crease We append very brief synopsis Of
his remarks which we find in the Wheeling
Igteiligeacer:
As friend OF the free school system |
hone the amendment will not prevail. The
best friends Of that system must admit that
there is large class of our people who look
with dis.avor upon the free school system,
and | do not believe there is any measure
which would give more widespread dissalls-
faction in many parts OF tle state than an
increase in the state school tax. inns Is
not a tax imposed Tor the necessary support
OF the government; the wheels OF govern
ment would continue to reyolye if there were
not q free school in the State Bun 1t IS the
exercise OF that paramount power IN the
STATE by which private property i taken Tor
public uses, power granted by the tund&-
mental law Of the SAFE; bat back OF that
power, rests the principle, firm Is me rocks
o! ourmountains, that private property shall
not be taken without just compensation
And the right TO lay this State school tax
includes the principle OF compensation TO
the party whose property Is thus taken
That compensation, supposed or real, con
sist- in the advantage which every citizen
derives from the improved condition OF So
cietv, and more enlightened citizenship
But this advantage or compensation IS ne
cessarily increased by expending the money
i'm the school district in which the money IS
raised, Iii, as we believe, education reilncs
men and makes better citizens OF them.l II
Is a greater benJh; to q man that his next
door ncirhb0r should he al educated man,
than that his icilOw-cOuntryman IN remote
part Of the State should be educated. Then
it is a natural rule of justice that the burden
of supporting the free schools should he
borne 6y the respective school districts, and
the Constitution provides that this shall be
done. Legislation which provides that the
free schools shall be supported by STATE
tax is in violation Of the plain iott'r of the
Constitution; and legislation which looks to
shifting the burden of support from the dis
trict TO the state is IN NlOiaIon Oh tie spirit
OF the Constitution.
From the Wheeling Register:

up the cudgc against the proposed amend

Wesi Tirginia Hospital for 'Ac Insaae.

It is to be regretted that the periodical
reports of our various State Institutions are
not more widely circulated through the
State. 1t IS true, that if so circulated, they
would not be read as generally, perhaps, as
:, is well obey shoold be; but the habit of
examining them would grow on the people;
while it is certain they cannot be read gen
orally if not generally circulated.
The Biennial Report of the Directors and
Superintendent OF the West Virginia Hos
pital for Insane for the wears 1879 and 1850,
is now before us. This Institution seems to
be wisely, generously, and yet economically
conducted. So far as we can see, the inter
ezts of the unfortunate inmates, and indeed
the noble purposes generally Of the instiJu-
lion, are keptiIvi,w.
There is, perhaps, no saddcr page in our
social history than ;hat which tells us Of the
treatment Of insanity in the past, and, per
haps, no plea-auyer one chan that which tells
US of the more humane, christian, and wiser
manner in which -hcy ere treated to-day
There are persons now living land they

mad-men laughed at eered ANA booted by
the mob All, bat it may besaid, these
were desperate cases. Besides, iRthe mean
time, investigation and sSiH have become
better acquainted with, and have under
mined and changed the chaglcterof the dis
