Bishop Potter on Plutocracy

/" When I speak of this as the era
of the plutocrats nobody can misun-
derstand me. I don't intend that
they shall. Everybody has recog-
nized the rise OF money power; its
growth not merely stiles the indie
pendence of the people, but the blind
believers in moneys. omnipotent
power. assert that its liberal use con-
dones every offense. The pulpit does
not speak out as it should; these
pIutocrats are the enemies of religion,
as they are of the State, and, not to
mince matters, 1 will say that while
I had the politicians in mind promi-
nently, there are others. / tell you
have heard the corrupt use of money
in the elections and the sale of the
sacred right of the ballot defended
by ministers of the gospel. 1 may
find it necessary to put such men of
the sacred Office in the public pillory.
The social tendencies in the great
cities outside of politics, are most in
spring, most clcvating; but the
spoils system and its rented vice, the
purchase of votes, are things to be
afraid of, to be jumped upon and
strangled."

And the violent explosion

How the all-wise man of science
Shakes In undisguised alarm
AS some fond, aspiring mother
Lays her baby ON his armE
How the normal, gracious nature
Fumes with rage, nor counts tho cost

Division of Public School Money.

Mr.. Editor:-It seems strange that moth
ing has been said of the change in the law
with regard to the division of public school
moneys. This is question of interest to
every school district To make the burden
of taxation nearer equal seems to have
been the purpose of those that drafted
the bill Chapter u, section 237, says:
+" No district shall receive from the town
the full amount of its school moneys unless
it has actually expended during such pre-
cedng school year for school purposes,
other than the construction or repair of
buildings, sum equal to the amount OF its
school moneys for such year, exclusive of
private requests, and one-tenth of its grand
list for such preceding year and the sum
paid to q school district in any one year
shall be diminished by the amount by
which the sum actually so expended by the
district in such preceding year is less than
the school moneys, exclusive of private be-
quests and one-tenth the grand list of the
district for such preceding year. And such
difference instead of being paid TO the dis
trict shall be distributed to the remaining
school districts in town entitled to the same
upon the aggregate attendance in such dis
triCt." First, district must raise sum
equal to one-tenth OF its grand list Second,
an amount lin excess OF one-tenth OF It's
grand lisD equal to the public money that
IL would receive. For example, district
has grand list of 5000. 1t is situated in a
town where 81 400 is TO be divided. Say
there are twelve districts in the town.
Then it would receive as district S52.U,
provided there were no fractional districts.
Suppose it to receive $50 on attendance,
the total school money would be SS7.77.
Now it must expend for school purposes,
other than repairs, SS7.77 plus $50, one
tenth of its grand list, or Sl47.77 in order
to be entitled TO the full amount. Suppose
it had expended but $l40, then it would re-
ceive but $50 Again, under the same con-
"A "A
1t would receive as district S52.77, suppose
it to receive from attendance $3.50. Now it
must expend for school purposes, other than
repairs, SCOTT, plus $500 or SCOTT. If it
should expend but $500 its loss, when COM
pared with the old law, would be Sl02.7.
II seems as though there must be in some
towns and unearned balance left in the
town treasury, although, If a district does
not receive the full amount earned in the
first division, the balance will be distributed
To those districts that have earned more
than they have received, If any; but in no
case will more than one-half the expense
over and above ten per cent of a districts
grand list be supplied from the public fund.

Pencils Made of Paper.

Paper pencils are the subject of a
patent which promises to lead to a
large industry, as it is stated that
the price at which they can be pro-
duced is marvelously low. Ordinary
cedar-wood pencils, as every one knows,
are made by gluing two pieces of wood
together, after having placed into a
slot made in one of them a prepared
slip of graphite or other marking ma
terial. Although it seems so simple,
there are a great many operations to be
performed in doing this, such as cutting
the large wood into strips of the right
size, making the slot or groove in
which the lead has to be placed, pre-
pairing the leads of the required size,
firing these to make them firm, then
placing them by hand in the slots of
the wood strips, gluing these strips
together, and after the glue is set the
two pieces of glued wood have to be
rounded off and polished, etc. The
idea of using paper instead of wood for
pencils is not new, but an objection to
pencils thus formed was the difficulty
of sharpening, paper being so tough
that even with the sharpest knife the
JOlhinS HUN tuc paper w Iue ledu
caused the latter to snap off. Then
again, the paper having to be folded
round a previouslyformed and hard
ened marking material was tedious
and expensive labor. These objec-
tons to the use of paper are overcome
by Mr.. Green's process. The paper is
first made into tubes, gross or more
of these are placed in frame forming
the lower end of cylinder, and the
substance to be used as a marking ma
terial being put, in a plastic state, into
the body of the cylinder by pressure is
forced into the hollow centers of the
paper tubes. The marking material
which now forms the center of each
tube, is hardened by gradual drying
during six days at increasing tempera-
ture. Up to this point the paper tubes
