still Another question Under the
school IaW

NAhhh sfNfAIfOn Under tho
school Law.
We quote elsewhere the opinion of the
Detapare Democrat that by the provisions
of the enactment of the last Legislature.
making an extraordinary appropriation
of 200 for the public schools for
whites, hereafter no Sussex county school
district that has not raised $7j by tax
alton for the year then current can in
that year claim any dividend from the
State, either of the extraordinary appro.
priation of $25, ooc or Of the
general school fund. While we
think the Delaware Democrat gen.
orally sensible in spite of its extreme
partissnship We hardly see how such an
opinion can be reconciled with the fact
that Sussex county schools this year,
having raised but $50, while excluded
from any share OF the extraordinary
600, are permitted TO receive their
usual share of the generl aschool fund.
We have not ssen Attorney General
drsy's opinion upon the question of the
appropriations to the Sussex schools. but
We fancy, from what Wa have heard, that
1T only goes to the length OF
declaring that the Sussex schools
not having raised SIS can not
participate in the $25, 900 extra appro-
priation, without passing upon the
question whether the language of the act
making that appropriation excludes the
schools above named from share in the
general fund. If, however, the oenstrue.
ton OF the Dei1Wdre DemOcrut is correct
the delinquent schools this year are per.
nitted to draw their usual share Of the
general fund simply on sutferanoe, for Il
the prohibition of the act Of the last
Legislature applies to the general fund
there ia no more reason for cutting the
delinquent schools ont of their share OF
the extraordinary appropriation than
there is for excluding them from partici.
patton in the general fund.
There seems to be abewildering variety
OF questions arising under the school Law
just now and it is very desirable thai
there should be some suthoritativ.
decision upon them all before mex
spring, when the school tax Is AGAR
levied. Sussex county phool voter
should know whether they must rails,
$50 or s75 before they can claim stat,
aid, and also whether by special levy
of SIS they can get their share of tn,
5000, which they are Gu. out OF thii
year. ...

The Waterford Demonstration.

DUBLIN, Sept. 10.-The demonstration
at Waterford on Sunday, under the aus
pioes Of the Irish National League, was
attended by over 10000 persons. The
city was profusely decorated with flags
and emblems, and there WAS an imposing
procession with banners and several
bands Of music. The meeting
passed resolutions demanding q Parlias
ment for Ireland not only In name but in
reality, and declaring that Ireland
must have that which England
by necessity granted to Canada,
because Canada WAS rebellious. The
adoption OF the resolution WAS
greeted with loud cheers. Michael Davitt,
in his speech, denounced the land act as
entirely inadequate to the needs of
Ireland. He stated that not one.slxth Of
the land cases had yet been heard and
that when they had been all settled the
reduction Of rent would not amount to
G1 900.

Whatever the late political friends Of
Mr.. Meekins Of Dorchester oeunty now
say of him should BE- taken with several
gains Of allowance, for the man that
takes an independent course in politics,
whether his motive be good or i'll, can
expect neither quarter nor fair treat
ment at the hands Of the party
to which he at one time owed allegiance.
There is this much to be- said on Mr..
Meekins' side. His party must have had
confidence in him to give him four terms
in an important county Office, and the
suspicion OF Irregularities in his
office are singulsrly sudden. Their,
too, it is unlikely that an officer CON
scious of wrong doing would expose him.

knew an independent course must bring.
Mr.. Meekins, however, needs to explain
his violation of his pledge to abide by
the county conventions decision.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, May 3.-One OF
the largest fires that has occurred here for
many years broke out to-day at 1:30 O'Clock
in George T.. Chancellor's stables, in the
rear OF store occupied by Mcssrs. Micks &
Colbert, on Commerce street between
Princess Ann and Charles streets. Every
church-bell rang the alarm TO call assist
ance. IL is supposed that the fire caught
from sparks from the chimney Of the
kitchen in the rear Of Micks & Colberrs
store. The stables run full length in rear
OF MessrS. Micks d Colbert's fertilizer
storeroomS, Charles L. Hunters plough
and casting-storcroom, j. w. Celbert's
farmers supply-store, and George f. Chan
cellor's grocery and farmers supply-store.
AT first il was thought that serious con.
flagration was going to take place. but the
fire department responded promptly. In
coming out of the house the truck was
wrecked, and the iiremcn had to carry the
ladders, &C., 10 the fire on their backs.
Every man went TO work with a will, as
sisted by the fair daughters of our old
burg. At $50 o'clock the fire was at its
height, and fears were entertained for the
safety of that portion Of the town, it being
the centre OF the business part of the town.
At 8 p. NJ. the Mayor and several citizens
telegraphed for engines from Richmond,
which were granted. At 1 p. VI. the fire
was gotten under control and the order
for assistance was couutermanded.
George +. Chancellor, J. w. Colbert,

lost Il fine horse the others being out at
work. and a lot OF fine wagons just re-
ceiyed from the West. The amount OF
loss and insurance on the same cannot be
given. The fire is now completely under
control, but a strict watch will be kept
through the night.
