TAE PUBLIC SCHOOL sYsTLM.

II compliance with the request
Of Hon. Edgar s. Wilson, editor
and publisher Of The jackson
Commonwealth, the Hon. j. II.
Preston, State superintendent Of
public educatlon,ha prepared tile
following statement Of the dis
trlbutlon of the public school fund
between the races, ana the basis
upon which the distribution is
made:
The amounts below were paid
ID salaries to teachers for the
scholastic years named:
LII 1Sss-9, white schools, $685.
400; colored schools, $31l,268;
excess paid for wmlc schools,
$24s, s,132. Ii 1855, (two counties
omitted), white schools, $421, ];
l10; colored schools, $34l ,562;
excess paid for white school So
PAS.
Pior to the revision OF the
school law in 1886, the teachers
were pald according to the average
attendance: now they are paid
white and colored--according to
the quality Of their work, as all
other wage earners IN the world
are paid. The application Of TINS
unlyersoI principle to our free
school business has made a differ
ence of $l6S, ,5S4 Il year III favor
of the whites, without injury or
Injustice to the negroes, for the
negroes had practically the same
number Of children IN average at
tendance and the same number of
teachers both years. ID fact the
negro children are benefited BY
the change, for the schools are
maintained ten per cenU longer
time, and it cannot be denied that
they have better qualified teachers.
The average attendance Of
white children has increased $500
since 1885, while the increase of
negro children has been less than
700 which shows that the whites
ale taking greater interest in the
schools and patronizlng them
more regularly than the negroes
The averaged attendance in white
schools in AZ per cent. of all the
white children in the State, while
that IN coioted schools is 81 per.
cent. Of all the colored children.
BY means Of uniform examina-
tons, our teachers have been clas-
si6ed, and they are employed
without any discrimination against
the negro teacher. We pay equal
wages ful the same amount and
quality of work. Our State school
fund is distributed to the coun-
ties pro rata according to the
cdacable children in each. This
fund, supplemented by county
taxation, is used to pay teachers
whose salaries qre fixed by thc
county Superintendent withir
certain limits prescribed by Law
for each grade Of license, "dur
regard being given in each case tc
, the SIZE Of the school and th'
executive ability Of the teachers
J THIS last provision induces th'
, best teachers to seek the larges
5 schools. There seems TO prey al
throughout the State an impres
sion that the negroes are lecelv
5 ing the naj3r portion of th
school fund, a mistake which thi
opportunity enables me to COZ
ct.

Washington Letter
From OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON. JUNE 30th, 1890.

WASHINGTON. JUNE 30lh, 1890.
Secretary Window, Is the one solitary
member of the cabinet who opposes Mr..
Bame's reel procity scheme. All the
rest and the President too are heartily
in favor of it and are doing Ill they can
to make friends for it in Congress. But
as yet it is by no means certain that
Congress will adopt it. A very promi-
nent democrat said today, "If the
republicans threw away the grand
opportunity they now have of benefit
ting the country by bringing about
reciprocity with the Latin American
countries, reciprocity will be made the
rallying cry of the democratic party,
and mark my words, it will sweep the
country like hurricane" twill you
take Mr.. Blaine for your candidate ?"
he was asked. "There are plenty of
worse men than Jim Blaine was the
significant reply. If l was at liberty to
,lse this gentleman's name It would
create a sensation in the political world.
President Harrison has signed the
dependent pensions bill and the Pension
office has issued pamphlet Of instruc-
tons to applicants under it. $50 addi-
tional clerks will be required to do the
work created by this law.
The Senate by a party vote passed
the bill admitting Wyoming as a State,
with the woman Suffrage constitution
included. The bill for the admission
of Idaho was then taken up and it Is
now the unfinished business
TODAY the tariff bill was called up
in the Senate but the debate did not
begin, and probably will not until next
week, as it Is likely that the Senate
will, in honor OF Independence day adj
journ from Thursday until Monday.
The House committee on the Judicial
ny goes one better than the Senate on
the 'original package question when it
decides, as it has just done, to report q
substitute for the Senate bill making
imported liquors subject to the laws of
the State in which they are sold, which
places all articles Of trade in the same
boat in which the Senate bill puts
intoxicating liquor.
The acme of absurdty in the pension
line was certainly reached when Rep
rescntative ConneIl of Nebraska intro
duccl a bill (by requcst) in the House
providing for pension Of 81, SO, $l2,
and $l5 per month, according to age,
to all living ex-slavcs. This remarkable
bill also provides that each Of these cx
slaves between the ayes of sixty and
seventy shall receive in addition to the
pension, $500 and those over seventy
$500

nearly five o'clock, but without avail. The
place in which the other bodies were found
was dragged in every way. with stream,
across stream, and diagonally, and at last the
men came to the conclusion that the paddle
wheel of the Luray Ind stirred the body up
and carried it off from the scene of the dis
astcr.
Early in the morning as a canoe was on its
way ont of the creek, the body was found
floating on the surface, and brought to town.
FUNERAL SERVICES
Funeral Service were held IN the Hampton
Methodist Church at las II. M, the funeral

at 1 o'clock, arriving at the church at lids.
The procession was headed by the Red Men,
followed by the Odd Fellows and Masons.
The Red Men and Odd Fellows had the
funeral in charge. At the church the Red
Men formed in double rows and allowed the
other orders to pass through their ranks.
The Odd Fellows and Masons then formed
an aisle from the street to the church door

Her soul was with confidence stayed.
