A FooLIsn PROPOSITION

What's the use Of reducing the gem
eral levy for State purposes if it be the
intention Of some agricultural members
to increase the school levy? This is
not simply robbing PETER to pay PAUL;
it is "holding up" PETER until he is
skinned" and then casting him aside
as utterly worthless.
Would it not be better policy to make
the burden Of taxation on the wealthy
and populous counties of the State fair
and equal with the poorer and sparsely
settled counties, thereby enabling the
former to grow and prosper and yield of
their abundance constantly? 1t is short
sighted business TO milk the best cows
dry as quickly as possible. Common
prudence should suggest that there is
more profit in taking good care of ones
most productive property rather than
Ulucking the life out Of it.

as TO TIE DISPOSAL OF TaE IRE
DUCIBLE SCHOOL FUND.

The Morgantown NelU Dominion be-
lieves IL would be unpopular and prob
ably cause the defeat Of the constitu-
tional amendment to stop the accumula-
tlons Of the irreducible school fund to
provide for the disbursement Of the
principal and interest of the fund among
the common schools Of the State with
out specific object. 1t believes that the
best and most popular use to which the
accumulation could be put would be to
make it part Of the endowment fund
Of the State University, and thus place
that institution beyond the need OF
further aid from the State.
The REGISTER has still better and,
we believe. a wiser and more popular
solution Of the problem. 1t would GER
tainly not be more popular to devote
the savings Of the people to the Univer-
SHY tnan it would be to expend them
among the common schools which are
nearer the people. 1t would be far
more popular, however, to reduce taxa
tion FOR school purposes, say, one-half
and dispose of the fund by making up
the annual difference out Of it. This
would meet the hearty approval OF
every taxpayer, aud all would reap the
benefit equally.
The schools to-day are we'll supported;
the school levy is 10c; let it
be reduced TO, say, sc aud the def
cheney made good out Of the vast sum
now lying idle in the Treasury. This
would tide US over a long period.
This school fund will at the end
Of the year amount to over $500, 600;
the sum total now annually gathered
from the taxpayers for school purposes
is at least $4,000. Let half of
this remain in the pockets of the peo-
pie. This and the further relief from
having TO maintain the fund itself
would be highly acceptable to the peO-
pie, and the condition could be main
tanned for probably five years, and in
yiewof our growing wealth and popula-
ton may be longer.
1t would be infinitely better to do this
than 70 place In the way Of the schools
the temptation to extravagances that
would be involved in a disbursement of
the money among them over and above
the sum now derived from taxation.
When the bottom Of the windfall was
reached, the schools would find them
selves less able than before to get along
ON the old basis The same would be
true to a certain degree of the Univer-
sitY if that institution were endowed
with the sum in lump. Neither plan
would be near so popular and beneficial
to all concerned as a reduction OF the
school levy.

- nAnnAnIANs 81 TENAs.

Gov. BoGG, OF Texas, has very prop
erly called on the authorities for the
names Of an those who participated in
the atrocious lyncbing Of the negro fend
HENRy SMITH, at Paris. day before yes
terday. 10 is to be hoped for the good
name OF the State of Texas that they
will be Forthcoming aud the perpetra-
tors Of this most fendish administra-
ton OF Lynch law In history
promptly and vigorously dealt with.
That alone can even part way wipe out
the crimson stain on the escutcheOn
OF the lone Star State.
1t is no palliatiOn of this terrible
crime Of a whole community that the
inhuman criminal deserved the punish
ment. He may have deserved more,
but If passion is to govern in such mat
ters instead Of law there is an
end at once Of civilized govern
ment aud o relapse into barbar-
ism and Savagry comes next.
One lynchiug breeds another until
finally the law, as in the Paris case, is
paralyzed from continued inactiou, and
meekly folds its hands while scenes that
would disgrace a tribe Of Sioux Indians
are enacted by white men bearing the
proud title Of American citizens. Worse
than that such scenes of almost incredi-
Die and 6endish barbarity are calculated
to stamp out all feelings Of Christianity
aud humanity from the breasts Of those
who witness them. WHAT respect can
the members Of that savage, bloodthirs-
ty mob, who stood by and applauded
the horrible torturing TO death Of SMITH,
have for one another as civilized human
beings? None at all.
More power, therefore, to the arm Of
Gov. HoGG as it is stretched forth In
the endeavor TO save these people from
the awful consequences Of their own ter
rible crlminality, which is hardly less
than that Of the executed negro \fend.
Let civilized law be RI stabIisfkd in
Texas.
