danger of an open or, indeed, OF
any serious hostilities between
Governor Cameron and the re.
publican state ticket has disappear
ed. The governor himself has
given information to his friends
that they need do nothing further
for his vindication. He holds from
John S. Wise a satisfactory denial
that Wise ever endorsed or was in
any way responsible for the late
assaults on the governor, dated
from Petersburg, the home OF
Senator Malone, and published so
widely in northern republican jour-
nails. The fracture at that point
looks as if cured. The lines OF the
party, too, appear to have been
steadied and more or less strength.

result.
Leading democrats, while not
admitting for a moment the proba'
bllity of q republican victory, are
crying aloud for the substitution OF
more work and more money in
place of snowy cavalcades aud
campaign 'flashings,' behind which
they fear is no such efficient organ
ization as Mah0ne's.

VIII the Coupons Affect The Schools ?

From Page Courier.
This question is being asked Us
from all directions, and whilst our
faith il strong, we fail to see how
the schools can escape this 'cut
worm for the present and future,
unless the Legislature shall pass
some law which shall again remand
the coupons to their proper place
We hear of combinations being
formed to consolidate taxes so as to
pay them in coupons, and of suit
being brought to force the collect
ing officers to take the coupons IN
payment of taxes, and we fear that
by fall it will only DO a matter OF
form to be gone through to enable
all the large taxpayers to settle IN
coupons. This, of course, must at
feet the school revenue, aud if it Is
allowed to 90 on, teachers warrants
on the Grandstaff fund will come
in competition with the coupons as
a taxpaying medium, and cannot
be worth any more on the dollar
than they are 80 that the value OF
coupon will determine the value OF
the teachers warrant.
We understand that some have
already been paid in to the Auditor
on account of taxes. If this is so,
and they continue to come in, our
funds are in great danger OF anoth'
er misapplication.
We clip the above from the Edu-
cational Journal, a non.partizan
periodical published in Richmond.
That two and two make four is not
palmer than that if the taxes are
paid in Coupons, as they are being
done, the school fund in all the
counties must correspondingly sui
fer, and to whatever extent the
Coupons come in. This may amount
to 100000, or very much more
than that amount.
1t is charged that the school fund
has already suffered to the extent
of $500, 900, and no one, not even
Auditor Marye himself, can prop
erly deny such charge when the
Auditor in violation of law aud
precedent, keeps back for more
than o year, his official statement,
which would settle the whole mat
ter.
Why does he withhold it ?
1t would seem that even IN JUS
tice to himself aud to his denial he
would furnish the people the facts
to which they are entitled, which
would vindicate him from the char
ges made. Clearly the Withholding
of his statemet is not 'accldental,'
but is for a purpose.
Whta is that purpose
In the significant absence OF this
statement the irresponsible denlals
of Funder newspapers amount TO
nothing aud do not satisfy the peo'
pie.

Minor Bolts, eldest sou of Il. Is.
Bolts and grandson OF Hon. John

Harrisonburg Sunday morning,
aged - years, and his sister, aged
about II years, is lying critically

An explosion occurred on the

son Cheatham, gas man OF the
mines, and A. l.. Leigers, a con
tractor, had gone down to the
lower end of the slope, and were
caught in the explosion and killed.
Cheatham's body was recovered
this evening. sixty men, who
were at work nearer the mouth of
the slope, escaped before the black
damp overlook them. David Lucas,
a boy, was slightly burned.
The recent rains have brought
up the wheat in the Valley of

SUPERINTENDENT FABR AND THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

The wicked and silly BOurbons
have been falsely declaring that
Superintendent FAIR supports their
absurd pretensions as friends oil
our free schools ; but on yesterday
we published a letter from Super
intendent Far which scatters the
Bourbon declarations to the
four winds Says Mr.. Farr:
The State Board of Education is
still Republican, majority of our
superintendent are Republicans,
and all the wise financial measures
devised by the Republicans for the
protection of the school fund are
still actually in force; so that to
the Republican party is due the
present prosperity and efficiency OF
the schools, and the Bourbon party
is clearly chargeable with all the
ills that have befallen them in the
past year
Again he says:
while the Bourbon. Democratic
Legislature, doubtless through their
fear left the Republican Legislation
affecting the finances Of the schools
intact, the action OF their financial
agent, the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts, virtually and in effect did
repeal the law and left the teachers
OF our schools at the mercy of the
money shavers.'
And what a acknowledgement is
this, pronounced by the State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction
upon the Bourbon Usurpers:
This year, which is the first
year since 1882 that the Bourbons
have controlled our school funds,
the teachers salaries are unpaid
and their warrants are being shay
ed at heavy and ruinous discount
and to their serious loss in nearly
every county Of the State
And now to what refuge of lies
and liars will BourbOnism betake
itself9

The Blair Bill.

This bill, making this munifcent
gift to our free schools, passed the
Republican Senate in April, 1884,
with only tive Republican votes
against it.
In that Senate the Democrats
had thirty-siX members, and only
thirteen of them voted for the bill.
Senator Bayard, who is now the
head of President Cleveland's adj
ministration, was a bitter and I'M
compromising enemy of this bill,
and used his influence, his ability,
and all his energy to defeat it, but
it passed the Republican Senate.
1t was then sent to the House of
Representatives, which was largely
Democratic, and when it was called
up by Republican to be acted on,
it was defeated by a Democrat,
and that Democrat was Fitz Lees
warm friend, John Randolph Tuck
er, of Virginia.
This was the way the Democrats
treated it the first session it was
before the House Of Representa-
tives.
But they told us last year, in
every speech made by the little
speakers and big orators, that they
didn't have time to pass it last SEES
sion, but at the next session they
would see that the bill was passed,
and the little children of the cOun-
try allowed to have the benefit 1T
was intended to secure for them.
But Congress met again in Dc.
cember, 1884, and adjourned III
March, 1885, and yet this Demo
cratic House of Representatives
again failed TO pass this bill.
We don't know what excuse they
will make this time for their failure
to pass this bill. We have not
heard them give any yet.-Spirit of
the Valley.

If the Auditor had made his re-

even as early as Auditor Allen-to

perintendents would then have
had time to apportion and the Urea
surer to have paid, prior to the loth
of December, all of the teachers,
salaries that were due, instead OF
leaving them, in the aggregate,
over $500, 900 to come in against
the State collections made by the
Treasurer after the said 10th OF
December.
