Special Dispatch to The Appeal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3,--The sub-com-
mittee OF the Senate committee on COM
merce today resumed consideration OF the
Memphis bridge bill. Although Messrs.
Van Benthuysen and Ford had expressly
requested that they be heard against the
Phelan bill, neither OF these gentlemen
Twas present. They were, however, repre-
sented by their attorney, Il. John Ellis.
Senator Plumb, OF Kansas, first addressed
the committee in favor OF the pending
bill, and he was followed by Mr.. Breton,
representing the Kansas City railway.
Both gentlemen urged the speedy and ia
vorable action OF the committee on the
bill.
Mr.. +. John Ellis then made his state
mcnt against the proposed measure and
presented very shrewd argument in IA
vor Of leaving the bridge question as il
now stands.
Senator Vest, who seems 10 be well
posted in the premises, and Representative
Phelan, who was present, asked him sew
eral questions and piled him with docu-
menis, which completely took the ground
from underhis feet Mr., Phelan then showed
thespcculativc characteroi the charterheld
by Mcssrs. Ford, Edmondson & Co., and
spoke OF the great interest felt in the mat
ter by The people OF Memphis.
Gen. Field concluded the arguments,
and stated that he did not believe the
holders Of the present charter had the
money with which to build the bridge
There is no doub, that the committee will
report the bill iayoably. II is quite prob
able that Senator Vest may introduce a
bill to repeal the existing charter, but he
does not want TO attach il 10 Mr.. Phelan's
bill, because il would then have to go
back TO the House and provoke delays.

tumbled 10 this sharp device some time
ago, and pronounced II a genuine chest

an earnest desire tobettcr his interests and
those Of Memphis, that prompted the or.
ganization Of the new bridge company by
Gen. Ncttleton and his associates. There
is no foolishncs about thom, and II the
Phelan bill goes through the bridge Is an
assured reality.

Making an average for each year Of $780,
sos %, being SOS. 797. n more paid out OF
this fund for distribution to the schools IN
three wears than was distributed in the five
years preceding, an average for the last
three years of $16S, SITS more than was
paid the FIVE preceding years"
"Now, will you please state the reasons
why this fund has grown so rapidly IN the
last three years; have the subjects OF taxa
ton increased In the same ratio?'
so, no, the subjects Of taxation have in
creased very little in the last three years.
The increase in the value OF railroads has
been something, the increase in the num-
Der of tIthables has added little, but the
falling off in the value of real and personal
property has aGout compensated for the
| increase above named The chief reaso
for the increase in this fund for the LAST
three wears is found in the fact that the
present Auditor has made much closer COL
| lections of the State revenues than had
been done in many years past. The pres
emit Auditor, Mr.. Duty, came into the
Office on the 4th of March, 1885, only
about two months before this fund was tn
be distributed to the counties on the
10th of June following, and he found IN
the treasury on that day only Sl64, 524. 80
for distribution to the schools. Upon IN
yes,igation he found that a very large por-
ton of the levies for this fund in 1884 was
It'll in the hands Of the sheriffs, uncollect-
ed. or at least not paid into the treasury.
In addition to the leSies of 1884, there was
q long list of arresrsges against the sheTitfs
of former years, running back for dozen
or more years, aggre eating many thousand
dollars, nearly all of which deliuquenciss
belonged 10 the general school fund. APP
Mailing as this condition Of this fund might
have been to most men, Mr.. Duty pro-
eeedsd in the discharge Of his duty undis-
MAYED, and with an eye single to the dis
charge of his duties, as the law required.
He Immediately changed the manner OF
kaeping his accounts with reference to
the State fluid and the school funds, CIV
ing each fund credit for all that belonged
10 it out of every payment by the sheriffs,
however small. Thus, at all times, hsv-
ing the full amount collected and paid be-
longing 10 tie General School Fand, in the
treasury ready for distribution when the
| time for distribution should come, and
| Tins plscipg it out of the power OF the dis
bnrsing officers to draw upon one fund for
The benefit of any other fund. This
change also had another very beneficial
effect on the school funds, snd that was to
sppOrtion the delinquencies properly
among all tins funds, and not throw the
delin9ueueies chiefly on this school fund,
a. had heretofore been the case. Auditor
Duffy then undertook the arduous task OF
collecting, not only the taxes due for the
current year, bat all the srrearages due
for many years Of back taxes. How well
he has discharged that duty isattested by
the following facts:
''On the 10th of June, 1866, he had in
the treasury to the credit of the General

CHARLESTON, W. VA, July 12.-ln an
interview with Col. B. W. Byrne, of
Charleston, we learned the following in
terestiug facts in relation to the general
school fund of our State:
"Col. Byrne, am told you are posted on
the subject of the school finances and l
want to ask you why it is that our distri'
buttons from the general school fund have
been so much larger for each of the last
three years than ever before"
"well, having, several years ago, been for
one term State Superintendent of Schools,
| became interested in our iree-school sys-
TEN, SO that ever since have taken deep
interest in the progress OF our schools and,
for my own information, l have tried 10
keep myself posted with reference to their
growth. But the answer to your question
would be somewhat tedious and perhaps
take more of your time than yOu would be
willing to devote to the subject"
No: the subject, think, is Of sufficient
importance to the public 20 justify all the
time it will take, and would be pleased to
have your answer.
ITO begin, then, let us take the five
wears, commencing with 1881, with which
10 compare the last three years. In these
five wears the distribution was as follows, IN
