At 10 o'clock the case of the Park VS..
John Gill was to come up at Justice Mon

Tatnall, Elk. Senator McWhorter and
reporters, three in number were present.
The wait for the representatives of the
two commissions was enlivened by ex-
Senator McWhorter VS.. j. Travers
Jones of Every Evening and
Solomon Jersey of the Daily Republican.
The subject of the combat was "Sensa-
tionsl Journalism as Applied to the Stab
bling Case at Police Court" The ex, sen
ator held that the boy was innocent ;
Every Evening and Daily Republican
held that he was guilty. The arguments
on both sides were conclusive
and included contest as to
the City Solicitors partiality in
his prosecution of the boy. This led to
the Every Evening telling fable about
a two headed man and Just then Chief
Engineer Bond, Thomas NJ. Culbert and
later City Solicitor Turner aud William

ner asked that the case be post
poned until 2 80 o'clock this Afternoon.
as the Park Commissioners desired to
consult the Water Commissioners. The
case was postponed All this time the
accurate clock on the wall stood at ten
minutes past 8 o'clock.
City Solicitor Turner said after the
postponement that the Water Depart
ment certainly had the right to 60 into
the park TO make such repairs for the
city's water supply as its men were doing
yesterday. Mr. Candy thinks the Water
Department has no right in the park.

Many Of the schools in Sussex have
closed after a session Of five, five and
a-half and six months; and closed as in
former instances, with a surplus Of funds
in the hands of the clerks of their dis
tricts Perhaps it is useless to add, these
clerks are studying finance-they keep
their schools open Just as short a time
as will enable them to draw their divi-
dends and use the accumulated surplus
for their private business. Anyone who
is acquainted with the amount Of school
dividend each district receives, and the
amount of tax each district is forced to
collect. and can tell the salary of a teacher
for five months at SIS or $50 per month,
can form an idea Of the amount left over
in the clerks hands. And this amount
accumulates from year to year This
statement has no reference to Broadkiln
hundred-an presumably none to few
other hundreds-for we are aware there
are 10 districts in this hundred that carry
a surplus other than a few dollars neces-
sary to cover incidental expenses. But
in the districts we refer to, and we know"
the evil exists, it pays to be a clerk Is
there no remedy for this existing state
OF affairs We suggest; if nothing bet
ter can be conceived. that the clerks who
have fluids left over above a stipulated
be compelled to deposit them in
bank as part of the general school fund,
and that they be so considered at the
next and subsequent apportionments.
BY this means the lax districts will be
forced TO apply the money appropriated
to them for school purposes, or refund it
to the custodian to whom it belongs if
and the districts that do properly
expeud their money, can have their divi-
deuds increased through the avarice and
ignorance of men who think that five
months school is enough in one year,
and who are willing and anxious to take
every advantage af a technicality in law.

A Sensible school Law.
lFrom IA DeIawateanl

There is bill pending in the Senate
which has passed the House, compell-
ing school committees, or at least the
clerk Of the school districts Of Sussex
county. 10 give bond for the money
coming in his hand as said clerk The
bill, by all means, should be applied
to the whole State aud become law.
The clerk Of the district draws the
States money. aud the law gives him
the power to do; and he should be
held responsible for the money that
lie receives. While we are aware that
there are people who oppose such a law
because the clerk receives no salary
for his services, yet we think that there
is no reason in such an argument.
The people In every school district in
the State,or at least some of them. are
interested in the cause of education
and they ought, if they are honest and
aboye suspicion, TO be willing to give
bond for the faithful performance of
duty; ii a man will not do that, he
ought not to be clerk of any school
district in this or any other State.
The money appropriated by the state
and the taxes collected, belong to the
people, and they ought to be protected
We all know that year after year the
Auditors report shows that some
scoundrel has run away with the
money Of some school district. We
say, protect the peoples money and
withhold the States money from any
district that does not make the person
handling the same give bond. Such
an act would be just, fair, and in the
interest of education.
