put our state militis upon hrmes basis;

BILE IS the pyramids, in perpetuation OF
the self-sscriiciug valor and heroism OF
our Teaxs, Mexican war and Confederate
veterans, ar such other meritorious
claims as msy commend themselves to
your favorab consideration, and finally
but 5y no means the least worthy of st
tention, may be mentioned for suitable
recognition the Just demands OF our pub
lie school teachers. TIE probable excess
Of emount .pportioned over receipts of
available school fund on the first dsY OF
September, 1888, is believed to be $780,,
600.
In times past it has been tie custom
when the state became embarrassed for
lack OF revenue TO supply current ex
penses, to appropriate with lavish hand
such portion Ct the school fund IS might
be necessary TO subseIVe its immediate
demands, and to meet the existing ext
gency, and now thss the school fund is
short and this public interest is temper
arily crippled, there c.n be alleged no
good reason why the general revenue
fund should not recprocsce the compli-
ment from its supersbundance.
This may be readily accomplished by
transferring SO loan from the revenue
sccount to the school fund the amount Of
the existing deficiency for services OF
teachers.
