OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

COL. ROBERT CHISHOLM CALLS FOR AN
 AFFIRMATION AND FIGURES. To the Age Herald:
 The announcement by the board of edu- cation that hereafter the public schools in the city will be converted into pay or tuition schools, like any other private schools in the city, is about as bad an ad- vertisement for the future welfare of the city as could we'll be conceived.
 It amounts to an increase of taxes on the heels of an election which cast vote against it. Salaries of the superintendent and principals, as we'll as teachers in the various schools, fixed about four or five years ago, when every necessary of life was higher, are to remain the same now as then and to meet which new burden is to be laid on public which cannot we'll stand 1t. The statement is further made that ''as heretofore' a charge of S2 for each pupil will be made in the high school. This is incorrect, for there was no such charge either last year or the year before. Will the board furnish the public with the salaries of the superintendent, principals and of the teachers in the seventh grades in the public schools so that an intelligent judgment can be had of the necessity for the amounts proposed to be charged, and also form the public if larger salaries are paid the teachers in the seventh than in any of the lower grades? The amount of this new tax on the patrons of the Paul Hayne school alone will be S350 month, and this burden will not be met unless it cannot be avoided
 The law requires the city to provide the funds to support the public schools, and -tn1s charge is only an indirect way of in- creaslng the taxes of the people.

 TO EXAMINE ARMOUR PLATES.
 The house committee on naval affairs to. day authorized Mir. Cummings, it's chair man, to submit u preliminary report on the Armour plate investigations The re- port, it is understood, will briefly review the testimony taken, and will recommend an appropriation to enable several of the alleged defective plates to be removed from the vessels on which they have been placed and to test them ballastically.
 QUESTION ANSWERED..
 The new tariff bill will go into effect at midnight on the day it receives the ap- proval of the president or becomes law by the operation of the ten day limitation, and not from August 1, as provided in the measure. An examination of the authori- ties made at the treasury department shows that law can not take effect upon date prior to it's enactment. And the federal supreme court has sustained this view un- der the x-post facto provision of the con- stitution. This is the view of the treasury department, and the amour cementis made because of the flood of telegrams received there indicating some confusion upon that point. n

For the first time on record the
price of corn is higher than the price Of
wheat. The continuous drought and
heat have injured the crop to such an
extent that 1t is believed there will not
be more than a half crop raised in this
country this year, and the value of the
American corn crop will be felt both
at home and abroad. Our corn, in the
form of beef and pork, supplies the mar
kets of the world, and a pronounced
shortage in the crop can but effect
both home and foreign markets. Corn
as a bread stuff is growing more and
more in favor, and as such, the va
rious European countries are beginning
to appreciate its worth. Our great
western interior is peculiarly we'll
adapted to the growth of this product
and the failure in this years crop,
following the low price of wheat leaves
the farmer almost entirely without
resources.

DEMOCRAT CONSISTENCY m


Perhaps it is safe to say that, for
the space Of forty years, no presi-
dent of the United States has done an
act that received more gushing ap-
proval and commendation by Demo-
Gratis generally, than the prompt and
efficatious manner in which Mr.. Cleve-
land suppressed the "Debs Insurrec-
tion." Yet the laws which gave the
President the authority to thus sum-
marily proceed were passed by Re-
publican Congress and signed by q
Republican executive in the face of
the most bitter and yituperative oppo-
sition from the Democratic party and
press that was ever known in the his
tory of our country. They denounced
those measures as tending to the sub
version Of the rights and identity of
every sovereign State in the Union.
The famous "Reed's Rules" were
used in recent campaign as national
issue by the Democratic party. They
declared that such rules for The House
of Representatives were unconstitu-
tional, and on the floors of Congress
and on the stump. with bitterest oaths
and imprecations, denounced the au-
thor of them as a despot worse than
Nero. Yet, when in power, the Grst
act of these Democrats, was to adopt
the very same rules in a still stronger
form.
The platform of the Democrat party,
in the last campaign, declared tariff
for protection to be unconstitutional,
and nothing less than governmental
sanction of thieving and robbery, and
yet the very same President and con-
gress, elected on the pledges and
promises Of this very same platform,
are now engaged in trying to pass a
tariff bill that is protection through
and through, and at the same time
scandalous for its sectionalism, and
oozing with the corruption from
combination with the most rotten and
Shiny trust on the face of the earth.
What fraud the Democratic party is!
And how strange it is that every body
does not see 1t! A glance at the record
ought to satisfy any free and untram-
meled mind.

THE constitution of the new repub-

teresting points, the restriction of
voters to property and educational
qualifications being specially worthy
of note. All voters must be native or
naturalized citizens, able to read and
write and speak auenty either the
English or Hawaiian language. No
one can vote for Senator unless he has
property valued at $4,000, and no one
can be naturalized until he is worth
5000. They have president, cabinet
and two houses of legislature composed
each of Is members. There are over
ninety thousand inhabitants, but the
restrictions limit the voting capacity Of

sussex CoUNTY's DEBT.


The Milford Chronicle prints the fol-
lowing:
"When the Republicans came into
power in 1885 in Sussex county they
found county debt of $32, 900, and
after four years Of Republican rule
the debt was reduced to $26, 900, and
all the running expenses paid.
1.-THE Democratic party came into
power again In 1892 and now the debt
of Sussex county is more than $50, 900.
Showing an increase of $4,000 in two
years, and raise in the tax rate in ad-
dition to this Of 25 per cent. to the
credit of Democracy, The debt is
placed as follows: A bond for ST., 500
held by Ebe W. Tunnel; another bond
for $l2, 500 held by the Farmers Bank
at Georgetown. another bond Of $4,000
held BY State Treasurer w. II. Bur
mite. Besides tnis there are county
orders drawn and unpaid, which will
aggregate upwards of $40, 600,
"In four year OF Republican rule the
county debt was reduced $4,000. or
81 500 each year. Under Democratic
rule in two years the debt has increased
81, 900, an increase of 1000 for each
year in bonded indebtedness alone.
Such is Democratic economy. Such is
their proud boast of reform. DO the
people want this contin led?'
