THESCHOOL TAXBILL.
Superintendent Barnard's Rea-
sons Against It.
FIGURES TO BACK THEM UP.
UnlfoRn DlstTibuslon Would Rob Cities
g BENEFIT Coantise, Though City
Schools Cost More.

Superintendent +. J. Barnard, Of the
Seattle city schools. has made an interest
ing calculation on the effect which house
bill No. 14l would have if it should be-
comea law. This is the bill which proposes
to levy . state tax of 81 mills for educa-
tional purposes, and to divide the proceeds
population, at $40 per capita. Speaking
OF the measure yesterday, Superintendent
Barnard said:
recognise the duty OF cities to bear . share
OF the burden OF educating the children OF peO-
pie OF sparsely settled communities, where
property values are not high enough to enable
these communities to bear this burden alone.
But In adjusting the share Of ths.burden which
cities should bear. 1t should be considered what
the cities are now doing in the way of educating
other children than their own. We know that
the pauper classes always xravitate toward the
cities. and that the burden of educating their
children falls wholly upon them. Thus the
cities, In addition to taking care of their own
poor, also provide for the education of the very
poor OF the rest of the state Besides. the cost
OF education in city schools 10 greater than in
country schools. This does not lie in more ex-
pensive teaching and supervision of the schools
10 much as In collateral expenses connected
with city life and in the effort to provide
facilities for children of coming generations.
Thus last year the cost of teaching and super
vision in the Seattle schools was only &c mills,
but the othe. 265 mills of the levy were neces-
sary for incidental expenses, and are peculiar to
city life. In one year alone thirty -four schools
were started in this city. Our school year lasts
ten months. while in the country it il only half
that time. Grounds and buildings are expen.
sive In the cities: water and even air cost
money; insurance 10 high. Thus there are
many large items OF expense which cities have
to bear to educate their own and the children of
the poor OF the entire state which the country
districts are not called upon to meet at all For
these reasons the time has not yet arrived when
the cities can with safety assume greater
burdens for the further benefit OF the state At
large
The following table will show how the
proposed lew would affect the counties:

Madam Had Her Way.
Pittsburg Times,


In the parlor car sat richly dressed
young woman tenderly holding a very
small poodle. Madam" said the con-
ductor. as he punched her ticket. Il am
very sorry. but you can't have your dog
in this car"
II shall hold him in my lap all the
way" she replied, land he will disturb no
one'
That makes no difference" said the
conductor, Il couldn't allow my own dog
here. Dogs must ride in the baggage car.
I'll fasten him all right tor you--"
Don't you touch my dog, sir" said the
young woman excitedly. Il will trust
him To no one" And. with indignant
tread. she marched to the baggage car,
tied her dog and returned. About fifty
miles further on, when the conductor
came along again, she asked him: Evil
you tell me II my dog is all right?" Il am
very sorry" said the conductor politely,
''but you tied him 10 a trunk and he " as
thrown off at the last station

Counterfeit silver Dollars Made Of Silver
Salt Lake Special.


A bank official. making up his cash last
night, discovered among some silver sew
eral dollars of the issue of 1890 which
seemed to differ from the rest. He
proceeded to apply the usual test. The
coins had the genuine ring and weight, but
were apparently q trine larger than the
genuine. An assay was made, with
the result that the dollars were found
to contain the requisite amount of
silver, but the alloy was not the
same as that used by the minis. The
counterfeiters make . profit of 35lz cents
on each 81, that being the margin at the
present rate of silver per ounce. The OBJ.
verse side. ON close inspection, is
found to be slightly concave. The
milling is good and the work is ex-
ceptionaliy fine. Thirty-four genuine dol
lars ''size up" even with thirty-three of the
spurious coins. One does not know that
he has a counterfeit dollar in his possession
when carrying one of these coins until
close investigation is made, and even then
the services OF an assayer would be neces-
sary to finally determine the problem.
The chief of police has taken the matter
up, and the secret service will be called
in. 1t is believed that the factory is
somewhere in the East. The West is the
place to circulate the spurious coins, as
paper money is scarce, and i'll the hand
ling of quantities of coin they would
easily escape detection.

VALPARAISO, Feb. B.-News reaches here
today of a desperate fight near Bago in
Rio Grande do Sui yesterday, between the
Federals and the government forces. The
latter met with crushing defeat and a
large number of defeated soldiers deserted
to the victors. carrying their arms
and ammunition with them. Pros
poets for truce are not now
considered so favorable. There is
possibility OF trouble between Argentine
and Brazil. Castilhistas has been guilty
of awful atrocities along the Argentine
frontier and has impressed n number of
Argentine citizens into service. The Ar
