OUR NEW SCHOOL LAW.

There may come time when the
people will become reconciled to the
application Of the acts passed by the
late conclave of cranks at Santa Fe
to the practical business in hand,
but the time is not yet.
A case in point is tnat Of the So
called school law. Section 7 of the
act declares that the school superin-
tendent shall, on the third Monday
in June and December of each year,
apportion the county school funds to
the various districts in proportion to
the number of school children resid-
ing therein over the ages of five and
under twenty years, and shall certify
such apportionment to the county
treasurer, and shall draw his order
on him in favor of the several school
district treasurers for the amount
apportioned to each district; provided
no district shall be entitled to re-
ceive any portion of the school fund
in which common school has not
been taught at least three months
during the year.
Now it is claimed that FIVE
districts IN the county have not com
piled with this provision, viz: Lin
coin, San Patricio, South Fork
Las Tablos and that OF Red Cloud
Owing to this neglect, be it on the
part of the local directors, want o
foresight or otherwise, the school su
perintendent, in making out his ap
portionment for the new year, leaves
out these five districts entirely anC
opportions the money, rightfully be
longing TO them, among the othel
districts. Nothing is palmer than
that the residents Of these defraudc,

districts, having borne their share of
the burdens of taxation, should, in
all fairness and justice, be entitled
to their full portion of the public
moneys for the support OF their
schools. That the local directors
have neglected their duties is no
reason that the public funds should
be diverted to other channels, and
the people of one district deprived
of their substance in order to over
feed another.
Laws which are not equitable are
not laws, and there will no doubt be
good deal Of kicking against this,
especially as it touches a sensitive
point in the anatomy Of the average
American citizen education of
his children.
Since writing the above it is
learned that in the Lincoln precinct,
at least, there were three months Of
school taught last year, which would
entitle the district to the full appor-
tionment of the funds belonging to
it for school purposes. If tho law
is held to apply to the present year,
then this unjust apportionment can
be readily set aside as illegal, for it
is evident no such action can be had
until December, at which time alone
it will be possible to deter rmine
whether or not common school has
been taught "at least three months
during the year" in any particular
district.
AS there arc several instances
where the bonds OF the district treas
urers have not been approved, the
county treasurer may conclude not
to pay out the funds under the order
of the county school superintendent
until he 50 adjusts his apportionment
so as to give these defrauded dis
tricts their just and equitable share
of the public money for the purpose
of running their schools.

marks are before the people and they can
Judge of their merits. More than one think
ing Republican has compared the Governors
remarks with the harrangue of John Sherman
and their conclusions praise Mr.. Hoadly for
his frankness and truthfulness. Instead Of
him saying nothing, he exposes the hollow
hypocrisy of Senator Sherman's bloody shirt
wall, and the shallow sophistries by which he
attempts to justify his gospel of hate. Most
eloquently he pleads that prosperity, peace,
good will and fraternal feeling may prevail
against the howlings Of ill-will and sectional
hatred. With incontrovertible figures he ex-
poses the falseness of the cry raised by Fora
ker and Republican journals that the State
administration has been extravagant Speak
ing of the expense of the past two years; Mr..
Hoadly said that last year the state tax was
reduced one-tenth of mill; that the average
annual expense of Fosters administration
was 81, ,542, ,345.47, while during the past two
years it has been 81, ,513, ,251.9S, reduction of

Hate and personal spite got away with
the better judgment of the Sinai last week,
in its TRADE upon Hon. H. @. Groschner, the
Democratic nominee for State Senator from
this county. Personal spite cropped out so
plainly in all that the Signal said that it not
only disgusted all intelligent citizens, but
even its own party friends denounced the
malicious attack as outrageous and wholly
uncalled for, If the Signal expects to make
votes by its vile attacks and imputations up
on the character of Mr., Groschner, such as
appeared in its last issue, it will find itself
sadly mistaken, and instead of injuring that
gentlemen it will make him friends, and that
too from a quarter he did not expect to get
votes. The Signal under its present manage
ment has much to learn, and especially to
learn the difference between honorable
political warfare and, the mud balls thrown
from the mire of personal spite and revenge.
