A Coon WoBD FOR THE KIcKrRs.-The
Providence journal has not failed to study
the Virginia question. 1t says:
The Republicans of Virginia who re-
fuse 20 be dominated by Boss Malone or
TO be responsible for n campaign made
upon a demand for Reputation and APP
meals 70 Ignorance and prejudice. held a
convention in Richmond and determined
to make an open fight against Malone.
Their action is creditable TO themselves
and contains the best hope for the future
Of the Republican party of Virginia"
This sustains ex-senator LEwIs's declara-
ton that Mahoneism and Republicanism
are two different things. If the Republi-
cans of Virginia wish to maintain their
GOOD name with tho genuine unauthorized
Republicans Of the North-not Quay and
his eang-they must wash their hands Of
Mahoneism.

Tho Free Schools.

SOLOMON adjudged the child to the
woman who was not willing to have it di-
vided: because she had thus proved her
self 10 be its mother. So the publc-school
system Of Virginia. which is claimed by
two parties, must be adjudgcd TO be the
child of the Democratic party because a
hundred facts show that its claim is good.
We cite some Of these facts:
The apportionment Of State funds to the
public schools for the years lSS6-'o1 Is
Ssl2, $50. % larger by over $4,000 than
the appOTtiOnment of any year since the
public schools began.

of the Legislature an act-SessiOn Acts,

son, allowing tTeasurcrs aud taX-cOllectOrs
till the LIST day of September TO make their
final settlement with the Auditor of Pub
lie Accounts, u was provided that the Au-
ditor should issue his warrant on the state
Treasurer in favor of the treasurer Of any
city or county for an amount sufficient To
pay the free school teachers in his county
or corporation any sums due them by the
State. Under the provisions of TINS act the
Auditor has issued warrants amounting TO
Si43, 070.74, which have gOnelntO the hands
of county and city tTeasurers TO pay the
salaries of publlc-sChOOl teachers. Again
The bOnds-State stock belonging 70 the
Literary Fund-are under the control ofthe
Board of Education. Under the Riddle
berger bill no interest was allowed to be
paid on these bonds unless. and until, they
were funded into Riddleberger bonds. Ac-
eordinglv they were funded by authority
OF the present Board of Education i'll Sep
TENDER 1856. and are now yielding an in

Another outrage upon an American

State Department will insist upon securing

five DAYS. No charge was made against
him, and he was released with the simple
abatement that his arrest had been mis-
take. The American Consul declared that
he could do nothing. and the state Depart
ment should know the reason why. The
last episode of this character-the arrest
and Imprisonment Of American women IN
France-was settled in a mysterious way
without inconvenience 10 the offending
officers. IL is time that we should set an
