In regard to the profTer Of national aid to
the cause Of education at the south, 1t did
not find that favor among southern con-
gressmen that might be expected. The till
which passed the Senate providing for from
I0,0O0,0O0 TO S5,0O0,00O per year, for ten
years, for aid to public schools, to be dis
tributed among the states In proportion TO
the illiteracy, was opposed mostly from the
south, though they would be much the
large 81 beEehciaries. IL failed to become a
law through southern opposition, though
by the bill the distribution was TO be made
through state officials, a concession to state
rights doctrines. The bill was presented by
northern man, and was supported by
northern Republicans. - Fredona, IN.

Senator Beck is right in his reflections on
the financial policy of the administration
redeemable at the will of the government
the country should not continue to pal
interest on such bonds when It has tn,
, money In the treasury for their redemption
Senator Beck boldly asserts that "the treas
! ury is not run In the interest OF the people,
and he is right, as any one must be con
vinced after reading any debt statemen
issued by Secretary Manning The reduc
ton Of the national debt should be resumed
! not by merely increasing the surplus in the
treasury ''availabe for the reduction Of thu
debt" but by applying the surplus alread,
on hand.in redeeming and canceling inter
est-bearing bonds. The present admnistra
tion and its friends have done vast amour
of loud talking about "relleving the people
Of some Of the burdens imposed by the
national government A very cXcellen
way to begin this relief would be TO follow
the advice Of Senator Beck, by calling II
nterest-bearing bonds and thus decreasing
the enormous amount required TO pay tn,
annual interest on the national debt. Tn,
Kentucky senator has struck hard blow a
the administration OF his own party, but 4
finds popular response throughout tn
country. Hit 1t again. Scranton pa.
