AN UNI UNSUITABLE WRONG.

II Stanton had the money to provide
the facilities, she would be willing to edu-
cate in her schools every child that could
be gotten in them, no matter whet her it
lived here or not, or whether It's parents
contributed one cent or nothing to the
cost. But it is not in that happy condi-
ton. 1t has school population of / ,647
and is as yet only able to provide schools
and teachers for 1000 of that number. 1t
could do better. but it pays not far from
$4,000 per annum for the education of 9th.
er children Of the State not living here.
That is to say, it pays the State school
tax of So, 720.52, and gets back from the
the State 81, $3.50, making clear loss to
the city of 81 1866 paid to educate children
elsewhere. Staunton, besides this, appro-
PIRATES every year $500 from her city
treasury to educate her children.
The county of Augusta paid to the State
in 1885, school tax aggregating s15,777.-
IL, and got back from the State, $l3, S22.-
As, leaving her clear loss of ST. 1854. SO,
only about 800 more loss with her 80 900
population, than Stanton experienced
with her 1000 Inhabitants Augusta has
school population of 10. 1923, of which she
has only 1896 at school-about one-half
To provide for her schools, she pays in
county and district tax, 1923 ,67O.65. She
pays out of her own pocket in all, $25 900,
or but 81 SO per head of her school popula-
tion for school purposes, and Staunton
pays out of her own pocket little more
than 81 per head of her school population
for school purposes.
In the light of all these facts, we see it
stated in report of the Senate proceed
'ings, that Senator Koiner, a representa-.
tive from whose conservatism and fair
mode Of thought we expected more JUS
tice, voted for proposition to admit
children into city schools wherever they
may live, and without compensation. It
is to he hoped that he acted in the
absence Of proper information, for
we prefer to think this rather than
that be did not understand the
injustice of the proposition and the Ger
tainty with which it would cripple the best
public schools all over the State. Such
q vote is not for the benefit of Augusta
county, for the county children cannot
60 long distances; but only for little
strip of the county around stanton. But
If it benefited the whole county, it would
not be more just. Augusta is rich coun.
ty and does not owe dollar; she could
well afford to provide for the education in
q high grade Of all her children. Stanton
is poor and owes a quarter of million dol
lars, and 1t wopld be a hard matter in
deed if, after contributing nearly So. 600
year to the education of the children of
the State generally, she should also be
forced, while her own children are yet un-
provided for, to open her schools to chll.
dren residing around the suburbs of the
city. We do not believe Senator Koiner
represents the good people of Augusta by
his vote. and We are quite certain that it
will long be remembered by all in Staun-
ton, who have at heart the success of the
public school system.

An Orderly City.

The year of 1886 h Is opened with the
promise of being one of the most orderly
ever known in this peaceful city. For the
month of January, Mayor Gordon, who is
a terror to the di5orderly element of the
town and fines with an unsparing hand,
found only two people to fine for assault.
They were fined $3.50 each. There was
not case Of drunkenness before the
Mayor in January. Such month ha 8
never before been recorded in the official
police records of Stanton, nor, we sus-
pect, can there b. found town of its sizs
in the State that can equal it on this
months record.

REPUBLICAN, "REBELS."

During the days of Reconstruction, and
long after, when Southern community or
considerable portion Of it would resent the
appointment Of Republican postmaster
by heartily denouncing him (which
was about all they could do) howl about
disloyalty was heard through the land.
The unhappy village was held up as a
hotbed Of rebellion and as excellent Re-
publican campaign material. Hating the
Republican postmasters was treason to
''the Government. which that party i'm
agined it was. The entrance of Nation
al Democratic Administration however,
shows that in that matter the Republicans
of the North are about as dislOyal to 1.-THE
Government" and as silly as some of the
Southern people used to be. 1t is rather
astonishing to read that in that most
"oivilized' portion of the Union, there are,
as shown by the estimate at the Post office
Department, three hundred Democratic
postmas.ers "boycotted" by the Republi-
cans of the villages IN which they have
been appointed. With hearts "reeking
with treason" these angry Republicans
buy all their postage stamps elsewhere,
and if another village is in any reasonable
distance, do all their correspondence
through its post-office. These combina-
tions in Republican communities to freeze
out the Democratic postmasters are on the
Increase instead of decrease, as is shown by
the newly reported cases every week
We regret that the New York "Tri-
bune," the only paper that now takes any
interest in the Government and the Ma
tional flag, does not look into this treason
and call the attention of the "loyal mil
lions" which it keeps in stock, to it. 1t is
clear that we can have no Government if it
cannot give us mails; that we cannot
have mails if we don't have postmasters,
and that we cannot have village post
masters If they are not allowed to have
some perquisites on the sale of stamps.
This logic. it see ms to US, is convincing
that the "boycotting" of Democratic
country postmasters is blow at the VERY
foundations of the government" and
viewed through Reconstruction spectac les
would justify that fine cid remedy of
"trOOps,"

Much Of the gold bug argument is done

Much Of the gold bug argument is done
on the parrot plan of repetition without
comprehension, and none of it more 80
that the oft.repeated gold standard" as
IL gold had fixed standard. In 1892 the
American gold dollar had AIS grains Of
pure gold. In 1874 it was reduced to 1922
grains and it stands at that to-day. Com
pared with the dollar of '92, it is only
worth 81 cents. 1t is ''clipped" dollar.
Up to 1873 this clipped dollar of 81 cents
was paid out to creditors as worth 100
cents. 1t was paid out because it was
cheaper than silver dollars. which from
1850 to 1874 were worth 105 cents, they
being at S per cent. premium. The amount
of pure silver in the silver dollar
(standard) has never been changed.l

The e. S Supreme Court in its decision.
Monday. of the Virginia coupon cases. de-
cided no new principle and did not change
the situation from what it was under the
Stanley Mathews decision. The State can
just as effectually block the creditor S way

to demand the presentation of the bond
with the coupons will soon be applied, and
if that doesn't bar them enough. there are
still other ways IN Judge Staples opinion.
