A bill has been introduced into

Of that bill being confined to the
brief report ofsame made asabove.
though cnr exchanges, we are rot
advised therefore, as to its pnrport.
hut if the bill introduced is intend
ed in any way to pervert What Is
known rs the Piper school fund,
we protest. The bill in question
may not be comprehensive enough
to include initsprovisionsa change
in the manner of disbursing the
Piper fund and the thought would
never have been suggested to MS
by reading the title of the bill in
troduced, but for the fact that re-
ports are Sin circulation, thatailn
effort would be made through our our
Legislature to transfer the Piper
fund to the School Beard of Acc"-
mac for the purpose of building
school houses and otherwise ner-
verting the fund from the purposes
intended by the donor. If the bill
introduced is for the purpose Of
accomplishing such objects, then
we enter our proteSt-first, be-
cause the Legislature in passing
sucl, bill would transcend the
limits delegated to it by the ppo

purpose, TO wit: the education of
poor children in five miles of Horn.
