The Educational Bill.

We referred briefly last week to the pas
sage by the Senate of the bill introduced
by Mr.. Blair, of New Hampshire, pro-
viding for the appropriation of $77 ,00O, 900
to aid in maintaining the public schools.
The money is to be expended during eight
years. The first year the sum of 81 ,0OO,-
600, the second year $4,000, 900, the third
year $l5,00O,0O0, the fourth year $13, 00O,-
600, the fifth year $11 100000, the sixth
year $9.0O0,00O, the seventh year 81 ,O0O.-
600, the eighth year $5,O0O.OOO. This sum
is to be placed to the several States and
Territories in proportion to the whole
number of persons in each, who, being at
the age of ten years and over, cannot
write. The computation is to be made ac-
cording to the census of 1880. A provision
of the bill, which gave rise to an acri-
monions debate, is that which provides
that no State or Territory shall receive any
of the benefits under the proposed act
until the Governor thereof shall file
with the Secretary of the Interior state
ment showing the character Of the COM
mon-school system in force in such State
or Territory, the amount Of money ex-
pended therein during the last preceding
school year in the support of common
schools, not including expenditures for
rent, repair or erection of school-houses,
and showing whether any discrimination
is made sin raising or distrib outing the
school revenues between white and colored
children. The southern Senators opposing
this provision resisted it upon the ground
that it would be an unheard of indignity
to require the head of sovereign State to
report to cabinet officer, who, they as
serted, was wholly irresponsible, and ap-
pointed merely at the pleasure of one man,
and not elected by the people. No money
is to be paid out under the act to any State
that shall not have provided by law sys-
tenn of free common schools without dis
tinction of race and color. Separate schools
for white and colored children, however.
are not to be considered violation of this
condition.
According to the last census there were
6,239, 95S persons above the age of ten
years in the country in the year 1880 un-
able to write. This would distribute the
ST., 900, 900, in round numbers, as follows

The Retiring Officers.

1t is due to the gentlemen who retire
from official positions at the Western Lu-
natic Asylum by the action of the new
Board of Directors on the 18th inst, to
state that the Institution over which they
presided, never was more efficiently and
successfully administered. They leave a
record behind them that will bear testi-
mony to their efficiency and skill during
their after lives and the assurance that
their selections were wise and for the best
interests of the unfortunates placed under
their charge. Drs. Robert Hamilton, H.
8. Crockett, Strain and w. w. S. Butler,
may well feel proud of the characters they
have maintained, officially and personally,
and the fidelity with which they discharg-
ed the responsible duties confided to them.

a nobler, more unselhsh and patriotic act
than the passage of this bill by the National
Senate. The record written ON that April
morning, constitutes one Of the brightest
pages in the Nations annals. 1t touched
the chord of sympathy and brotherhood
throughout the land and drew the sections
together in the common bond of Union.
All honor to those who thus contributed

A Wise Precaution .

At the April term, 1884, of the Hastings
Court Of the city of Staunton, the judge
announced from the bench that, for his
own satisfaction in the proper discharge
of his duty, each and every applicant for
renewal of liquor license, as also his agent
or agents if any, would be closely exam
ined on oath as to whether they had in
any manner, directly or indirectly, sold
liquor in violation of the laws prohibiting
it's sale on Sunday or to minors ; and,
further, whether during the past year he
had directly Or Indirectly sold liquor to be
carried away by anyone whom he knew, Or
had the slightest reason at the time to be-
lieve or suspect, intended to deliver the
same to a minor, or to anyone for minor to
be drank by such minor or any other minor;
and, further, that unless such applicant,
as also his agent and agents, if any, should
be able to show themselves by their own
evidence proper persons for license to sell
liquor, or should decline to answer such
questions, the application will be rejected.
There should certainly be some restraint
exercised somewhere to the indiscriminate
sale of liquors. The fault lies somewhere
that the necessity exists for such a ruling
as Judge Smith has deemed it proper to
make. The laws are comprehensive enough
to meet all such cases as were in the
Judges mind, and if the City Council and
Police were toj vigilantly cooperate and
use the power the laws confer, there would
be no necessity for an appeal to public SEN
ttment. That must be aroused, however,
and with a vigorous expression Of it in con-
demnation of all Illegal liberties in the sale
| of liquors and all remissness on the part of
those in authority, in the enforcement OF
the laws, Statutory change would be eff
fected, and much good done to commu-
nifty.

We have several communications on
hand referring to the Presidential election
and the political situation in Virginia,
which we must decline to publish. The
objections are two-fold First. they are
too offensive in their personal references i;
and second, they advocate claims of par
ticular persons us Presidential nominees.
Were we to open our columns to discus
siOns of this kind, there would be no end
to them. The parties assailed would have
a right to demand space for reply, and the
friends of other candidates would feel
that. injustice had been done them were
they not permitted to present the claims
of their favorites No good could come
out OF a protracted controversy of either
kind, and probably harm would. We can
not, i'll justice to orr readers, allow our
columns to be thus monopolized, and we
are sure our correspondents will under
stand this as well us we do when they think
over tia moment.
Last week, Representative Hurd, of
Ohio, made a rampant free-trade speech in
Congress, and the Democratic committee
have ordered $4,000 copies of it for dis
tribution. And yet this is the party that
claims to be the friend of the farmer and
laboring man.

The death of Miss Mary Reid, daughter
Of Heiskell Reid, ESQ.,, occurred on the
18th ult., near Fishersville. Miss Mary
was member Of Thinking Spring church.
and most exemplary christian. For
many months she suffered from the raw
ages of consumption, yet never once COM
planned. She expressed her firm faith, a
few hours before death came to her relief,
in the atoning merits of the blood of Jesus.
Having lived pure christian and died
with an unshaken hope of salvation, she
has given to those who knew her an eX-
ample worthy of imitation. Had she lived
until August next, she would have com
pleted her 10th year. Her friends have the
sympathy of the community.
On the I4th of March, Mr.. James Myrtle,
the popular young gentleman who has
charge of the wholesale department OF
Messrs. Crawford & Lally in your town,
led to the hymenial altar Miss Susan Steele,
the beautiful and accomplished daughter
Of Mr.. Peter Steele, of this county. The
nuptials W ere celebrated at the residence
of the BRIDES uncle near Craigsville.
Fishersville can boast of the tiniest baby
in Virginia. At ten days of age it barely
tipped the scales at 8. lbs.
The Kansas fever is getting pretty high.
Many of our people are contemplating q
trip thither.
Scarlet fever has made it's appearance in
this neighborhood. Nettie, a daughter OF
Mr.. A. HI. Curd, is now slowly convalescing
from severe attack of this greatly to-be-
dreaded enemy. Another of his children
was stricken with it Tuesday.
Farmers are straining every nerve to be
ready for planting their corn crops.
Up to this time, Notwithstanding the
many late freezes, the fruit crop promises
to be good one. ROVER.
