NIT 'EM AGAIN.
The Soldiers Orphans Schools.
ncaster Examiner, Rep.


Lancaster Examiner, Rep.
The ring of schools to which the soldiers
orphans have been sent are just now max
have a further extension to 1883 of the
"good thing" they have had at the ex-
pense of tho taxpayers since 1865. The
original act provided for the education Of
the children of soldiers who were killed or
died during tho war. They were orphans
in the full meaning of tho term, and it
was grand idea for the state to educate
them. But that supply of scholars was
soon exhausted, and the Legislature was
easily persuaded to take in the children of
poor soldiers, and this tapped fountain
that provided an unlimited supply of or
phans. But the Legislature of 1881 saw
that unless q period or limit was fixed
when this expenditure should end, there
would soon be a deficit in the treasury.
The state has paid up to May 81, 1882.
SO, 8,919, 16l, ,2S, almost seven millions of
dollars. A munifcent sum unsurpassed
by any other state in caring for the child
rem of soldiers.
The Legislature on the 2Sth of June, 1881,
provided that no children should be ad-
mitted after June 1st, 1882, and that the
schools should close June 1, 1885. This,
of course, does not suit the stipendary ill.,
stitutions and tho other officials and
hangers on, and they want the doors opened
again. The children of every soldier who
was killed or died during the war, are
long since grown up men and women, and
it is burlesque to say that we are still
educating the "orphans" of dead soldiers
The following is list Of those schools
which have had the lions share of this
s'patriotic' swag. AS will bs seen, up to
May 81, 1882, IS, GIG, ,OO3 1S went into the
treasury of 16 schools. The difference
between the whole sum expended and the
above sum, about million and half,
went for clothing and salaries. We CON
tend that the purpose and object Of these
schools have been accomplished, and tho
law which closes them on June 1, 1885,
should stand and not be further extended
for their benefit. The 'patriotism'' Of tho
taxpayers should not be drawn on any
further to make fortunes fOrthese school
masters. II the state has the money to
spare, the appropriation to common
schools could be increased and all the
common schools of the state would get
their pro rata share of it.

In our structures upon the "prostitu
tion of the machinery of Justice" to
facilitate the escape Of Dick IIeilig, we
have assumed that il WAS true, rs repre-
sented by the district attorney to the
court, that the prosecutor Was disin-
clined to press the case. Even under
that state Of facts we have insisted ,hat
it was an imposition upon the court to
have disposed of the case rs it was done.
But the prosecutor, Mr.. Redsecker,
writes us that he was determined to
press the case and all representations to
the contrary are untrue. Upon this
statement the responsibility for the
hugger- of the case lies be-
tween Counsellor Shenck and District
Attorney Davis, and the court, as the
victim of Misrepresentation, is bound, in
justice to itself, to vindicate the admin
istratiOn of the law from ''the inposi
tion practiced upon it and the disgrace
attaching it, by ins-iiuting an
inquiry to determine who is respon-
sible therefor. We remember that
once when, under similar c!rcumstan-
ces, like suggestion was made to the
court it was answered with the disbar
ment by Judge Patterson-lis brother
Livingston assenting-Of those who ven
tured the suggestion, while those who
practiced the imposition were recognized
as friends of the court" in the pro-
ceeding. But We have faith that since
then the court has learned something.

A Dangerous I'LL.
Record.

Philadelphia Record.
The bill which has passed the House
regulating the liability of employers to
make compensation for personal injuries
suffered by workmen in their SERVICE" if
it becomes law, will give rise to endless
litigations and make tho business of manu-
featuring as hazardous as stock gambling.
Where death or injury to wOrkmen results
from the carelessness or lawlessness of
employers the courts are ready to give
proper damages. Juries do not hesitate
to make the damages vindictive, particu-
larly in tho case Of corporations. There is
no need for more law than we already
havo on the statute book. In employments
of extra hazard the rate of pay is usually
extra large. In this way the employer is
made to insure the employc by the pay
ment of money fine for the danger incurred
in addition to the pay for the work done.
This is as it should be, and is q natural
and proper arrangement. The Legislature
if it could sit the year out could not frame
law which could adapt itself to the vary.
ing circumstances which surround the rela.
tion Of employer and employe. Something
must still be left to the common sense
and common justice which obtain among
men in dealing one with another.

ANOTHER case is reported from Con-
necticut of the elopement with a black
negro of a "beautiful and accomplished
young woman, Of hitherto ' irreproach-
able and unsuspected " character from a
home of luxury and refinement" We
don't believe it all. An examination OF
previous cases of this kind has almost
invariably resulted in the discovery that
the woman was of weak mind or de-
praved. Miscegenation is repulsive
and unnatural thing. With all the clamol
that is made against polygamy we doubt
| whether it is any more horrible to the
natural sense of mankind or any worse
in the sight of Heaven than miscegena
ton and We prefer to believe that nj
refined woman of good moral character
| would quit a home of refinement ant
luxury with negro.
