The School Fund Again.

AS appears bv an article in our local
columns to-day, there is another shortage
in the March distribution of the State
school fund to the white schools for the
current quarter. This places our school
board face to face with the dilemma of
either closing the schools for he rem lin
ing one-fifth Of the scholastic term, or of
having the service continue and become
indebted t. the teachers for one-fifta of
the quarters salary, with the hope of dis
charging it by future accretions to their
treasury. 1t appears that they have adopt
ed the latter horn of the dilemma, which
appears to us to be the much more judi
cious course.
1t is much to be regretted, as we have
heretofore had occasion to observe. thai
some plan cannot be devised by which the
collection of the school taxes can be made
prompt and the distrihu ion thereof uni
form. The fluctuations in the distribu-
ton of this tax, which in recent years have
become conveniently frequen', have an
embarrassing effect upon the operations OF
the schools These fluctuations, as we
heretofore noticed, are limited to the fund
for the white schools, and do not extend
to the colored school fund, which is uni
! formly distributed The reason of this is
that 100000 annually is specifically APP
propriated to the colored schools, viii I
the residue of the funds accruing from the
educa ional tax are devo ed to the white
schools. Therefore, all shortage and de
f.lcations in the CO Election of the educa
tional tax falls directly and solely upon
the white schools
Attention is called to this matter in the
public school report for 1888, by A. "
Neae. Esq, our county examiner, and by
Mr.. Lakin, the examiner for Frederick
county. These gentlemen refer to the fact
that the shortage in March last year ha,
not yet been made up as promised by the
treasury depar ment
we do not know whether the fiscal at
fairs of the State will permit OF the appro
priation of certain specific sum for pub
lie educational purposes to be paid at al
events; but if such course lie not feast
ble, and it he necessary that the school.
depend upon the promp ness Of the CO lee
tions of the tax, then, obviously, the CO.
ored schools ought not to be placed on any
better footing than the white Schools
The injustice of such discrimination
which seems TO have been inadvertent, he
comes apparent when it is remembered
that the amount appropriated by the Stat.
for educating the co'orei populs ion i.
greater per eIpita than that appropriated
! for the white schools.

The Maryland Legislature adjourned
sine die at midnight on Monday, that be.
ing the constitutional limit of the regular
session. Taken altogether, the late Gene
raj Assembly has not been particularly re-
markable for its virtues or its vices, its
progressive intelligence or its laundering
stupidity. While there have been some
bright, active minds, conspicuous among
the members, the body taken as whole
has not surpassed, if it has attained to
mediocrity. While it cannot be censured
for any especially vicious measured it cannot
he commended tor any particularly wise
or progressive law that it has placed in the
statute books. The regulation of the oys-
ter fisheries, in which the concurrent ac-
ton of Virginia was secured, was perhaps
the greatest achievement OF the session
Some of the other measures enacted, of
which we have heretofore given full sum-
mary, are of average utility. while those
relating to the protection of la5oring men
are somewhat cut of the usual routine
The measure which has been most con-
demned is the creation of new office in
he shape of a bureau of labor statistics.
The temper of the people of the State at
this time and the condition of the revenues
is not thought to be such as to warrant
the creation of new offices. 1t may be
said that the work of the late assembly
may he cassed as "fair to medium" Its
sins have been rather Of omission than
commission. Among these may be men
toned the failure to pass law to more
efectually punish bribery and corruption
at elections. Altogether while we cannot
say to our late law makers, "well done
good and faithful servants" we do not
think they are deserving of any severe
censure.

Mr.. W. H. Young, President OF the E !.
gle and Phenix Manufacturing company
at Columbus, Ga, enter'ains no fear that
the Morrison Tariff bill will have an inju-
rious effect upon the cotton goods indus
try of the South. On the contrary, lie
goes much further than Mr.. Morrison, in
his views of revenue reform. "a reduc-
ton of twenty per cent. on the tariff. he
says in a recent letter to Mr.. Bount of the
Ways and Means committee would not
enable England to compete with this
country, North or South, in heavy weight
goods. but if the tariff on all articles en-.
tering into the cost of manufac ure in
this country were also reduced twenty per
cent. than the manufacturers, North and
South, would he benefited, and if the du-
ties on all such goods en'ering into the
cost of manufacturing were made free
then the North and South could compete
with England in all markets of the world :"
He believes further that the manufactur-
ing interest in this country with their
natural advantages. if freed from ali tariff
legislation, would soon make the United
States the great manufacturing centre.
And Mr.. Young is representative manu-
Iscturer.

The Baltimore Day, referring to the
Governors veto Of the much talked Of
marriage licexse bill. makes the following
very sensible comments:
"He has shown considerable anxiety abou,
the finances and, We think, much wisdom
His veto of the marriage license bill is perfect
ly consistent with his unalterable determine
ton to protect the credit of the State to the ex-
tent of bis power. Let the Legislature End
other sources of revenue and be is willing TO
let the people get happy or miserable at the
lowest rates. Why it should all at once be
discovered that this particular tax is "odious''
we fail to see. 1t does not discriminate, but
taxes all alike who avail themselves of it and
as it need not be paid except for pride and ex.
cess Of modesty it is not such a hard case after
all. The moral question involved is hardly
worth considering, as virtue at three dollarl
and ninety cents is too cheap, to be protected"

Gov. Hoadley, of Ohio, has issued hi
proclamation setting apart Friday, Apri

counts for the destructive foundations o.

gradual disappearance of the original for
es's, the day will doubtless be character

are planted this spring, however, will
