ONE of the most important ques-
tons to come before the Constitut
ional Convention of the State of New
York, soon to assemble, and the
solution of which will be watched
with interest in other States, is the
subject of State aid for sectarian
schools.
Statistics covering all the cities of
that State except Buffalo have
recently been published which show
total OF S2,o25,3o4 expended by
the State for sectarian schools in a
year, the amount being divided into
SI,673,73o for Roman Catholic
schools, STOP, 8I2 for Protestant and
sISS, 762 for Jewish. 1t is proposed
to antagonize all of these and fight
the battle on the broad ground that
religious instruction should be en-
tirely separate from secular teaching
and that while it is the duty of the
State to enforce the latter, it is
equally its duty to ignore the former.
That seems to be the true spirit of
the American form of government.

MR.. BREOKINRIDGE's DISTRICT

The number of candidates for Con
gress in Mr.. Breckinridge's District
would seem to indicate. that some
of them will act as decoys, and if
the silver tongued orator cannot
command enough delegates in his
own rame, he may secure enough of
those selected for other candidates
friendly to him to win.
The Seventh Kentucky District,
which William c. P. Breckenridge
has been representing in Congress
and which his partisans hope he may
continue to represent, is made up of
five counties of the Blue Grass
Region and three others besides. 1t
is, numerically, the smallest Con
gressional district in Kentucky; but
it includes many historic places.
chief among them Lexington, the
Blue Grass capital, and Franklin
county, which includes the city of
frankfort, the Kentucky capital.
Bourbon county, from which Bour-
bon whiskey takes its name, is also
in the district. 1t gave at the last
election Democratic majority of
$500; but the Republicans are
numerous in the district, especially in
Fayette county, of which Lexington
is the county seat.
Though there is but small differ
cnce between Kentuckians, the
geographical lines of political division
between various parts of the State
are strongly drawn. Thus, the
extreme east or mountain district OF
the State is almost uniformly Republi
can, while the Blue Grass District
which adjolns it, and which Breckin-
ridge now represents, is Democratic.
Both United States Senators from
Kentucky hail from the Blue Grass
District Blackburn from Versailles,
which is in Woodford county, and
Lindsay from Frankfort, which is in
Franklin county. Senator Beck,
long the senior Democrat from Ken
lucky in the upper house of Con-
gress, was resident of the same
district. There is an abnormally
large proportion of ex-Confederate
soldiers in this district of Kentucky
but why that should be so has never
been explained, for the Union senti-
ment in many parts of it was very
strong during the war, and President
Lincoln was bora only few miles
beyond the southwestern boundary
Of the district.

THE apprehension felt by many
citizens of Washington that the
presence of Coxey's army at the
National Capital meant disorder and
riot has not been realized, the police
preparations for the advent OF the
army having proved out OF all pro-
portion to the actual dimensions OIL
the threatened danger.
The fact was, that a very large pro
portion Of those who constituted the
the Commonweal army were harm,
less cranks, while many of them were
professional loafers and fakirs, a
class just as prolific in good times as
they are now.
That Coxey's march to Washing
ton proved lamentable failure is
the very highest possible compliment
to the unemployed workingmen o.
America. whose interests he profess
ed a desire to serve.
That he should spend weeks in
appeals and sensational advertising
and after tramping through three
States only be able to bring three
hundred followers to Washington, is
to US, the best possible proof of the
common sense and law, obeying
spirit OF the true American working
man in this season of distress and
lawless temptation.
1t is to be hoped that the princi
pal actors inthis farcical fasco will
drop out of public sight, to give
place, possibly, to some other SEN
sational novelty in the Socialistic and
Communistic line.

II any better evidence were need
ed OF the dangerous tendency OF the
maudhn mixture Of Socialism, Pop
ulism, Anarchism and Coxeyism now
running rampant in several Western
States, and which is being sympa-
thized with and cultivated too gener
ally east, it can be found in the sig
nihcant fact that Senator Wolcott
has just been burned in efigy for
utterine the following manly and
timely words on the floor OF the
United States Senate.
a believe the time has come when those OF us
who are in public life ought to begin to cultivate
more regard ior the perpetuity OF republican
institutions and to pander less to that miscalied
portion OF the labor vote whose labor is with their
threats and never with their hands. 1t is time we
stood for American manhood for the right of every
man to work il he wants to, If it takes the whole
army o the United States to enable him to do so.
The right of eve.y man is TO enjoy equal liberty
with every other man, and that means tina t he
shall have such liberty if not inconsistent with
equal rights OF his neighbo!: the right hold and
enjoy the property which the laws of the country
have enabled him to secure. 1t is time that we
| had the courage to stand together against this
| socialism, populism and paternalism, which is
| running riot in this country. and which mus
| end iii not crushed) in the destruction of The
liberties which the laws give us, liberties which
| should be dearer to us than life ITSELF
This is manly and courageous
language, and instead of being
burned in efflgy ior its utterance
Senator Wolcott should be applaudec
by every reflective man who value:
the public peace prospects constituted
authority. and appreciates the priv
ileee of American citizenship.

A QUESTION OF FEES.

At the last session OF the Leglsla-
ture, the Liquor License Lew for
this county, was amended so as to
require applicants for licenses to pay
the cost of the same to the Treasurer
OF the county instead OF to the Clerk
of the Court, as heretofore. The
apparent purpose OF the amendment,
was to take from the Clerk, the COM
missions formerly received by him in
such cases.
Ga May the first, the date at which
new licenses go into effect, Mr..
Graham, the Clerk of the Court, took
the position. that as his compensation
| under the law had been "legislated'
away from him. he was under nc
obligation to do the clerical work
necessary to Secure the evidence
that applicants bonds and petitions
were regular, and as the law made il
incumbent on the applicant for {
license to furnish such evidence from
the records of his office, that the
work incident thereto, must be paic
for at the regular rates charged II
the office for examination of records
titles, &c.
This practice has been generally
adhered to by Mr.. Graham in case
OF applicants for new liquor licenses
and the aggregate fees realized TO
such service by the Clerk will prob
ably equal the commissions hereto
fore received by him, and OF whlcl
the amended law deprives him.
One applicant, however, for
liquor license this week, it seems b,
the advice of his counsel, raised tn
question OF the legality OF the Clerk
practice, and it is understood wi
bring suit to test the correctness {
Mr. Graham's position.
| So far as we have been able t
!. ascertain, the opinion of the mem
bers OF the Elkton Bar is PRACTICAL
unanimous, that Mr.. Graham is RICH
, in the position he has taken, and
would seem that the amended law
apparently intended to reduce tn
fees of the Clerks office, has so IA
, tailed to accomplish its purpose.

ELKTON. MAY 5, 1894.
THE WHEAT CROP.

Reports from over three thousand
reliable grain dealers and grain growers
of every important wheat county IN the
six principal wheat growing states,
which raise two. thirds of the winter
crop of the United States show, that the
next wheat crop in the six States will
be somewhat larger than an average
one. Four hundred and sixty six
dealers report the outlook excellent !;
1873 say good; 1876 an average; 42S
trif1e below an average; IA say
poor, while only SO say half crop.
Indiana has the best and a very good
prospect, especially in some of the
larger wheat counties. Ohio promises
nearly as well, while Missouri and
Illinois follow, each saying about an
average. Michigan and Kansas have
fully an average prospect.
The prospect has improved since a
fortnight ago, when the April reports
of the Agricultural Bureau were
gathered. Five hundred and eighty
six reports say there has been decided
improvement; 1902 say improved and
?26 see no material change. Only
Ats say the prospect is worse, while
but 81 say it is much worse, and these
reports are mostly from sections which
need RAIN. Most of the sections have
had beneficial rains since the Easter
freeze, and the damage now appears
to be less than reported.
The prospect now is somewhat better
than year ago. Ohio has about the
same but the other States all show
better, Indiana leading.
The acreage sown last fall was smaller.
The amount winter killed, including
wheat damaged by the late freeze,
was less than the winter before; I,749
report no damage 562, sixteenth
sos, an eighth 242, quarter; Sc, a
third, and only IS half of the acreage
destroyed.
There is less old wheat rem aiming IN
the interior than a year ago. One
third say there is about the same
amount; sixth report an eighth to a
quarter more, while a quarter report
half less and quarter say an eighth
to third less. Ohio has the largest
stocks. Indiana, Illinois and Missouri
have small stocks. A majority of the
farmers are disposed to sell before
another harvest, while only fifth will
carry all over.
Clover seed acreage would have
been materially increased but for the
late freeze, which destroyed consider
able. Some has been resown since,
and the area now promises to be
about the same as for the last crop.

DEMOCRATIC Senators who are
SO confidently predicting that the
Wilson bill will get through the
Senate early in June, will do well to
consider seriously the words OF
admonition addressed to the Senate
on Saturday last by John Sherman,
when he said:
1--WE never will allow this bill to pass until we
have had an opportunity to read it in this
chamber-every word and every clause OF it; and
every word and clause OF it will be subjected to
our scrutiny. We would be held responsible if
We did not demand and secure this kind OF con-
sderation for bill which strikes down many
important Industries
The Democratic policy in the Sen
ate is now to patch up any kind of
bill which will enable them to hold
their party vote together. Senator
Harris, who has become the par
liamentary leader of the Demo
Gratis, let the cat out OF the bag
when he declared ON Saturday that
che could scarcely imagine a prop
osition that he would not entertain"
rather than not pass some bill that
would be substitute for the McKin
ley act. He even went so far as to
admit his disgust with the amend
ments which are to be put into the
bill for the sake OF protecting the
Sugar Trust at the expense OF the
sugar growers; but he was willing to
swallow them as an indispensable
necessity" Into what hodge podge
the Wilson bill will take shape after
the secret negotiations which are
now going on among the Democrats
in order to force harmony no one
can now predict; but party which
is reduced to such desperate straits
after five months handling of the
Wilson bill as to take the ground
that any kind of a bill must be
crowded through at all hazards,
invites the closest and most delib.
crate scrutiny OF the opposition.

1t is certainly the only safe plan for
a government that wishes to be non.
sectarian. What hard feelings must
be engendered. for example, by the
mere publication OF statistics showing
that one church has received more
OF the public money than another
Tax payers sympathizing with the
latter would naturally feel indignant,
and the religious strife thus raised
might easily be carried into politics,
and so religious element would be
introduced into civil affairs. And as
it impossible tor the State to favor all
churches alike, the best plan is to
place all on an equal footing by tav
orine none.
