AN IMPENDING CALAMITY.

AN IMPENDING.CALAMITY.
Every public office has been very
properly held by the best American
sentiment to be a public trust. In
nothing is this more largely true
than in the management of the
school interests of the country. These
high concerns are placed by the peo-
pie wholly in the keeping of body
of men whose very Office signifies
their moral sta:us-trustees. Elect
ed as they are with the belief on the
part of the people that they will give
70 the school interests the highest eff.
forts of their wisdom and their atten.
tention, it is not only unfortunate
but calamitous when for any cause
they turn their delegated power to
the ruin instead Of the support of the
interests they are sworn to foster.
These reflections are brought about
by a division in the Board of Trus.
tees of Hartford College, some, if
not majority of whom seem to ia

agement of the school.

You'd cavil that at least one more
teacher is necessary for the proper
conduct of the lower grades of the
school. This will render necessary
an additional payment, which the
Board is not inclined to favor. The
policy proposed by the Trustees
meets nothing but censure from the
people so far as we have heard, and
a study of the facts is not inappro.
pirate at this time. Let us lay aside
all moral and social considerations
and figure upon Hartford College
simply as financial investment.
At present we pay DR.. Alexander
81 5000 per year and he furnishes
his teaching force. OF this sum we
get from the State $685., leaving a
net payment by the town of S1065.
For this money and the use of the
building what return do we get? At
present the school is bringing here
from abroad about forty students for
the ten months, during which they
will spend on an average of $3.50
each, making a total of $4,000
spent here during the year by board.
ing students alone. Upon this it is
safe to say profit Of ten per cent. is
realized by the town, making a net
profit of 81, 900, which deduct from
what the town pays to the school and
we find that the actual yearly cost to
our people of the finest free school
in Kentucky is the magnificent sum
of S65!
The actual minimum expense of
conducting this school at present is
1880 per year, and this amount DR..
Alexander now pays and trusts to
his efforts to bring students from
abroad here to make up to him the
deficit. In point of fact, even at the
present high average of attendance
to which DIR. Alexander has by his
own efforts brought the school, he is
receiving less than $1,000 per year
for his services.
These figures are matters of rec.
ord and with them the Trustees of
Hartford College ought to be ia.

The Elizabethtown NelCs SAYS

Mr.. ID. A. Peck near Elizabethtown
had the cholera very bad among his
hogs and he lost several. He then
commenced using burnt corn and slack
lime, and since then he has not lost an
other hog and all the sick ones have
gotten well. This remedy is certainly
worth a trial by others who have the
cholera among their porkers.
Well, now, that's too bad. To
have the cholera even in the best
regulated hospital would be bad
enough, but to suffer thus among
ones hogs would be terrible indeed,
and surely Mr.. Peck must be tough
err than the famous bad boy Of the
same name, if the use of burnt corn
and slaked lime has not entirely
torn up what little of his digestive
apparatus the Asiatic plague did not
destroy. We are sorry no informa

As some of our correspondents are
considerably wool-gathered on the sub.
ject OF wool, we submit the following:
In 1866, when the average tariff rates
were 40 per cent. .on dutiable goods,
wool sold for 81 cents per pound; in
1885. when the tariff rate was increased
TO AZ per cent, it sold for 43 cents per
pound, and in 1892, after the passage of
the Mckinley bill, it sold for 32 cents
per pound. AS the tariff has gone up,
the price OF wool has gradually gone
down, until to-day it commands but
twenty odd cents in the very best
American market These are cold facts
and figures that can't be made to lie

fleeing momentary foundation in the

to have leisurely thoughts. how wise it

good sound philosophy here. Letit per-
