breezy discussion in the Senate to-day
upon the subject of the Presidents pen
sion vetOes
Mr.. Hawley had favorably reported a
resolution to print copies of report of
the Pensions Committee upon the vetOes,
when Mr.. Cockrell asked the Senator ii
he thought it wouldn't be goodpisn 10
publish in connection with the report the
Presidents message in the Mary Ann
Dougherty case.
Mr. Dawes replied that possibly Mr..
Cockrell would like to have all the Pres
dents veto messages published.
Yes" responded Mr. Cockrell, Il
wish to God they were published" He
would vote to print 100, 900 copies of such
a document.

would introduce resolution to print

veto messages.
Mr. Davis said that in the Dougherty
case the President had gone back fifteen
W iars into the police records 10 find Il
flaw in the personal record of this

Mr.. Stewart made some sarcastic re
marks upon the Presidents ability as a

record in this case.
Mr. Blair thought The question of per

consideration OF II pension case

THE constituents of Chairman Mills do
not appear 10 be very much displeased with
his conduct In presenting bill with wool
on the tree list. On Monday there was a
grand barbecue In which thirty thousand
people participated celebrating his renomi.
nation to Congress at Waco, Texas. Accord.
ing to Republican. ideas the people Of Texss
ought to arise In wrath over the prospect OF
free wool, but somehow the wool growers
do not appear to be half 80 much alarmed
as the politicians engaged at present In pull
ing wool over the eyes OF voters.
Young James Garfield, tho son Of the
president, has had experience In wool grow.
ing and has Just had the courage TO tell
what he thinks about It. His reasons ex.
plain why Ohio wool men are not frightened.
He says that wool growing is Improbable
and the wool interest is dying out In Ohio
though whether itwould be revived or killed
by placing wool on the free list he could
not say. 'If sheep raising is Improbable
now, don't sec how reducing the tariff is
to make II any worse, though some OF the
farmers seem to think II would"
His brother Harry Garfield referred to
the much quoted opinion OF his father on
the tariff contained In speech delivered In
1866, and said that he never knew him to
vary from that position. He read this
opinion to the reporter. The concluding
lines would arouse storm of Republican
Indignation II uttered by any Democrat to-
day. They are AZ follows al am for a
protection which leads to an ultimate free
trade. i am for that free trade which can
only be acquired Il rough reasonable pro-
teclion."

his conclusion that the law prohibits the
use of public school houses for any other
purpose. 1t would have been better, how
ever, to have obtained this decision from
the courts, that are made to construe the
law, than from the school superintendent
who has no authority on the premises, II
the question has the importance he
ascribes TO IL.
School houses that are Of no use to IL Q
school board should be sold. 1t is no
part OF the business of the board to go
into the real estate business. 1t can only
hold property for its own use. The law
allows the school board reasonable dis
tretion in the discharge Of its duties ;
and it possibly may be decided that 1t has
the right TO rent its school buildings, TEN.
porarily at least; but there can hardly be
a question as to the improperly Of hold.
ing school property for rental purposes.

DIR. Il. Il. HIGBER, superintendent Of
public instruction, In giving his opinion
on tho legality OF tho action Of Plttsburg
school board in renting public school for
parochial school purposes, quoted the fol-
lowing from the constitution OF the com.
mon~ealtb, "no money raised for the sup.
port Of the public schools OF the common
wealth shall be appropriated to or used for
the support OF any sectarisn SCHOOL, And
from act Of assembly OF May 8, 1854, "that
the several school districts within this com.
monwealth shall have capacity az bodies
corporate to purchase and
hold such real and personal property as
may be necessary for the establishment
and support OF the schools, and tho same to
sbll, alien, and dispose OF, when II shall no
longer be necessary for the purposes aiore.
said" From this section he concludes that
"school houses and grounds are held by
boards OF directors as corporate bodies In
trust for tho use of the public schools, that
ia for schools established and maintained
by the public fund, under the authority OF
the constitution and laws-not for private
or psrochial schools, but for statutory
schools. Beyond the limits OF such trusts
directors have no right TO 20. All diver.
sion OF school property to other uses moi
purely incidental Is clearly unauthorized
and illegal"
