has reached a crisis, and most Infamous
crisis II proves TO be. AS result OF IL
the governor has Just called for the resig-
nation OF the superintendent Of public in

an ex-Methodlst minister. As they do
everywhere In the North the Republicans
OF Pennsylvania have ever posed as the
exclusive friend Of the soldier and his
children. AS they have always had the
exclusive control OF our state affairs ever
since there were soldiers orphans to look
after thoy have always had a monopoly
OF the posing business. H. now tran

the state upon the orphans Of soldiers OF
the war Of the rebellion, o little more
tnan 100000 has gone into the pockets
OF dishonest politicians and school man
ayers. The siealings have averaged $780,

crime Is Increased by the deyilish
cruelty that IL necessitated. The
allowance Ivy the state for the
care OF the children has been $3.50 yearly
for children over ten years OF age, and
8llJ yearly for those under tlIat age.
