upon their maintsnance Again, nc
cording to the census, the SUN of
l$6 643. .3l3 may be set down as the
annual expenditures in that line Of
the entire country. II jndicionsly
applied this 1900, 900 appropriation
will be- of very mat. rial benefit in
supplying the present deficiency in

Another amendment worthy Of
special mention came from Senator
Evarts. of New York, aud is to the ef-
fect that il any State or Territory
declines to take its share Of the Ma
tional fund such share is to be dis
tribHtsd among the States accepting

"r may not play an important part in

lie schOols. ample for the uccommo

maintained. d. not need this money
and it would be greatly t. their credit
If they would decline it, Not that
any State should bind itself tor all

very sensible and creditable thing II
he sum appropriated for the first
year sh.uld all 90 to the States al
ly in need OF it, whose iiliteracy oc
casionet the bill. The amount
proposed are, $1,000. 600 lor tho tirsts

ing the $2,OOO,OOO for school houses
which is only once for all, 81. .OOO.-
600. We hope that all Illinois, Iowa,
New York, Pennsylvania, Onio and
all that class of States will say,
through appropriate legislative ac-
ton, that without prejudice to the
Sc OOG, 900 STARTER allowing the
money to 90 where it is most need
I'd. Senator Evarss must have had
some such hope in his mind or be
would not have offered tho amend
ment. The Legislature If his own

be hoped that New Yoik, tho richest

recently published. Gibson suffers from
gout and SO enjoys Franklin's sympa-
thetic disquisition upon it. On one oc-
casion the Yankee philosopher, who
was no ascetic in anything, however
temperate in all, represents himself
lying in bed at night Gout stands by
his pillow. Good Lordr' growled the
doctor, ''you are not going to attack
me tonight. Wait till tomorrow
night" Gout grins and answers: You
are to catch it tonight There will be
no postponement Regard me as your
preserver. / am your second con-
science, periodically reminding you Of
your sins and compelling reformation.
