The Assistant Treasurership at San Fran
cisco.
WASHINGTON, June Sth-The friends of
Mr. Brooks are working like beavers to Sc
cure his appointment as Assistant Treasurer
at San Francisco. They seem to think that
General Lawton is the strongest OF the can
didates for the position, and they are striv-
ing by every means in their power to get
him out of the race. 1t is reported that
Brooks hackers offered Lawton first-class
Consulship to withdraw from the contest,
and on his refusal of the offer intimated
that his appointment as Collector could be
brought about Mr.. Henley, who has ad-
vocated the claims of English for Collector,
would not consent to Lawton's appoint
ment under any circumstances.

Of State has received a note from the Brit
ish Minister in Washington, expressing the
thanks Of the Canadian Government for the
courtesy shown by the Treasury Depart

request of steamboat owners to Canadian

which would occur if inspections were TO

The New York Chinese-A Police Cap,

New YORK, June Sth.-The Commercial

Cinnamon by David Quinn yesterday is
not regarded by the police as indicating in
any way that a spirit of hoodlumism
has broken forth. No wholesale slaughter
of Cinnamon, as in San Francisco, could
occur here. They claim that Cinnamon
are not only tolerated in New York by the
street gangs, but they are a source of much
rough but innocent amusement in the
way OF chatting to the rougher elements in
the lower parts of the city.
City Police Captain Mccullough, whose
station-house is in the heart of the Chiness
colony, says: Cinnamon are without ex-

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION.

Our public schools are now under fire in all Sec
resolutions both for and against any increase in
the school levy are adopted and sent to the press
for publication. Unprejudiced discussion will
never injure the schools the danger comes from
another direction. Men, from selfish motives
and all politicians belong to this class-are seek
ing to control these meetings. If they are sue
cessfu instead of their action being expression
of public sentiment, it is only boom on which
some shrewd manipulation may ride into Office
These assemblies, like the public school system,
should be non- partizan and non-sectaran in char
acter, and all politicians should be asked to take
back seat, otherwise they may work irreparable
injury to the school system. This county is like
no other in the State embracing as it does large
territory similar to city, needing all the require
ments of city government, and agricultural dis
tricts whose wants are more modest. Unfortunate
", what will suit one of these sections for schools
and other purposes is not sufficient for the other.
One section is asking that no reduction be made
in their teachers salaries, and here the maximum
salary ispaid, and are willing, ifnecessa-
ry, to maintain the efficiency of the schools by a
higher tax, while the other section is resolving in
an opposite direction.
1t may be of some interest to know just what
proportion of the school revenue was paid and
what received by the several districts, under the
levy of 1884, and for that purpose we have CON-
piled the following table:

THE TENTH DISTRICT MfsETrN,1

SUNNYBRooK, March Both, 1885.
Messrs Editors IL notice letter in last Voc K 4
issue of The UNION, from one of your many cor,
respondents, stating that the meeting held at Sun,
nybrook school house, on the 21st of March. mis-
represented the views of our people in regard to
an increase of taxes for school purposes. Thai
letter says "the first part Of the resolution was not
submitted for discussion" and that "only fifteen
persons were present and not more than seven Of
that number voted on any subject" Your CORES
pendent certainly is in The resolution and its
amendment was freely discussed before being voted
upon, by all who wanted to participate in the dis
cussion, and adopted by an almost unanimous
vote. The meeting was not as largo as it would
have been if it had been properly advertztd-.
Only the patrons of the school knew of il. -s~-~s
majority Of them were present.
The prevailing sentiment of our people is that
the School Board is too extravaganza in the expen-
diture of the school funds, and if proper manage
ment and economy were used the schools could
continue for the scholastic year without an addi-
tional levy. If your correspondent does not think
these are the views of our people would advise
him to call extra meeting and ascertain the
facts.
Our people are all in favor of public schools and
would not like to see them closed for any oiher
time than now in force, but they opposed to
any increase in our taxes for school purposes or
paying teachers of high schools and school officials
exorbtant salaries and building expensive school
houses, while other branches of industry are stag
mated and so many of our people out of employ
ment SAM.

@At his own request the name of Hon. J.
Fred C. Talbot was on Monday withdrawn as an
applicant for the position of Second Assistant
Postmaster General, and on Wednesday A. Leo
Knott, Esq, prominent Baltimore lawyer, was
nominated for that position. Mr.. Talbot did
not apply for this place, but his friends, among
whom were many Senators and Congressman,
urged him to accept it and made strong fight
for him, but he finally telegraphed Senator Cor
man that he would not accept it, and this settled
the matter. We hope the appointment Of Mr..
Knott will have the effect of placing Baltimore
on ahigherpIane with reference to her postal faci-
ities as heretofore it the city has been, for
for some reason, Disseminated against by the de-
partment. We felt certain that if Mr.. Talbot
had been appointed to this place all these difficult
ties would have been overcome and the postal
affairs of the State generally improved.

The N. Y. Legislature and Gen. Grant.

The extreme illness of Gen. Grant is calling
forth words of sympathy from almost every Sec

rs Moss back Democrats appear to be very
much incensed at the re-appointment of Henry
G. Pearson as postmaster at New York city, and
they propose to make war on the President, who
seems to be performing his duties to the entire
satisfaction of the country and regardless of the
politicians who thought they would control his
administration. As an evidence of the feeling
among some of the moss backs we quote the Ian
guage of ex-Congressman Young, of Tennessee,
who is reported to have said that "the war be-
tween the Democrats and Cleveland will be more
bitter than was the quarrel between Andy john
son and the Republicans" When the attention
Of Col. Lamont, the Presidents private secretary,
was called to the expressions of certain Demo
Gratis upon the acts of the administration, that
gentleman said: president Cleveland does not
hope to please the politicians. HecOnsiders him
self President of the entire people, and not of
party or section. He does not care anything
for a party war on him. He expects that. 1t
does not bother him. He is going to do what he
thinks right, whether the politicians like it or
not"

Ma- Governor Martin, of Kansas, made two
very interesting statements in his proclamation
designating April I'd as Arbor Day, when the old

that "the State which the pioneers found treeiess"
and desert, now bears upon its fertile bosom
"more than twenty millions of fruit trees, and
more than two hundred thousand acres of forest
trees, all planted by our own people," And the
Governor also said ''that there has been an in

Nss-The Commissioner of Pensions has decid-
cd that mother cannot be allowed pension as
dependent mother and the accrued pension Of
her deceased husband for the same period of time.
He says:
"Upon a careful consideration of the laws re-
lating to the subject of opinion that when
the two claims become united in the same person,
making only one beneficiary, that person cannot
be allowed, either directly indirectly, the bene
fit of two pensions for the same period of time.
Such allowance would be contrary to the pro-
visions of the statute, which declares that the
pension laws shall not be construed so to
allow more than one pension at the same time
to the same nerSOn."

The calculation in the above table is made for
the whole of the State school tax-1O cents on the
$780, In reality the county only gets back about
IS per cent. of this tax, making the whole amount
paid to the School Board from taxation and book
fees last year about S157,ss4. The average cost
of each different pupil is sll.2O and the per capita
amount raised by taxation for each child runs all
the way from s4.43-the smallest amount in any
district-to S27.66. There are only four districts
in the county above the average, and these pay
annually over $4,000 more than it costs to run
their own schools. 1t is difficult thing to ad-
Just to the satisfaction of all matters so dssmar
and we advise all friends of the schools to study
this question carefully before adopting any policy
that may be detrimental to the whole school system.
