Live Buds.

ollIYfUH Illtss
The parties at Milford noted in our last
issue as having examined 1000 peach buds
without finding live one report on a
further investigation that in some orchards
and among some varieties, live ones have
been found. W. d. Hoffecker, found on
A. p. Griffiths farm near Kenton, on ex-
amiping some branches Of the Mountain
Rose variety, about half of them alive.
The general opinion remains however
that the live are the exception.

The reelection of Hon. Thomas f.
Bay ard as Senator Of the United States
for the State of Delaware, will be hailed
with satisfaction by thoughtful and
patriotic men of every shade OF politics.
Mr.. Bayard's conservatism does not suit
the politicians OF all times and occasionally
places him at disadvantage rs q party
leader. But his aim is not so much to be
a leader of his party, as it ia to shape his
course ~ "a legislator in accordance with
his own views of the public good. His
statesmsnship is of broader scope than
mere political psrtisanship requires, and
the country would be the better for it il
the Republican party had the courage and
decenoy to send to the Uoited States
Senate few Independent and high
minded men like Thomas +. Bsyard.

STATE FINANCES AND SCHOOLS,

The total amount Of consolidated

Kellogg's Reputation Act, whereby
there was scaled forty cents in every
dollar of the just debt as well as the
uni st, is $ll,S39,4oO. The New
Orleans Democrat, which Of course
speaks by the card, says the collec-
tons for the interest fund already
amount to $355,22s.S3, which is
more than enough to pay the interest
for 1880 upon the whole amount of
the State debt, if it were refunded in
four per cents under the new Con
stjtution. The debt under this pro-
cess of rcfunding would be So, $780,
$50. The Democrat say F4air5
The amount of tax levied for interest
purposes in 1880 was mills upon an
assessment OF Sl76, coo. 000-say $685.
0O0--with the proviso that the surplus
should be applied to the maintenance
of the public schools. The first year of
trial under the workings of the, new
Constitution has, therefore, proved that
the provision made is ample to meet all
the requirements of the State debt,
since, even under the EN- barrassing
circumstances attending the present
season, the collections have already ex-
ceeded the amount necessary to meet
the interest.
The surplus of collected interest
after deductins delinquents and ex
penses OF collecting, will increase the
school fund probably fifty Thousand
dollars, but the fund will not be large
enough to increase perceptibly thu
efficiency Of the public schools
