An Important Message from the Board
of Education to tho General Assembly,

OF Education to the General Assembly.
A very quiet but extremely important
meeting of the members of the Board of
Education was held Saturday evening
at the Equitable Building. The matter
under discussion was the legislative
needs of the board and these are speci-
ally financial ones.
Il was arranged in the first place to
give notice at Dover that certain legisla-
ton will be asked for. The main points
having tho attention of the legislative
committee Of the Board of Education
and which will be embodied in the pro-
posed enactment include first of all
that troublesome question of the distri-
button of the State School Fund. They
will ask for Encouragement Of this on
the basis Of 81 per day for each day of
each teacher's services, as rendered all
over the state.
The enactment will call for the restor-
alton Of the $4,000 a year which was
formerly paid out of the general fund
into the school fund. This will not re-
suit in any loss to the rural district
schools. But the increased appropria.
ton will cqualize the matter and will
give Wilmington her just pro rata. 1t
is intended also to ask the Legislature to
turn all license fees into the general
fund and then to make direct appro-
prlation from II TO the schools.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 1S.-The north
wing of Music Hall was damaged by
fire to-day to the extent of about
$4,000. The rooms occupied by the
Snngerbund Society were Quilted, the
library Of the German Young Mems
Association, which owns the structure,
was damaged by smoke and fire, and
Concert Hall was water-soaked. The
total loss will reach $4,000. Music
Hall proper was protected by fire wall
and was not damaged. The cause Of
the fire is thought to have been from
escaping gas, as three explosions were
heard before the fire broke out.

Republicans aud sound Money.

An analysis Of the vote on the Gold
Bond bill in the House shows that the
parties were divided as follows; Demo.
crats-For the bill, 50; against, 81. Repub-
licans-For the bill, 81; against, 60, Popu-
lists-Agaiust the bill, TO- It will be
seen that out of 1855 votes cast by
Democrats the majority against the bill
was o. Out of 81 votes cast by Repub-
lcans the majority against the bill was SO.
After this showing the people of the United
States will be able TO rate at its true worth
the loud profession of Republican orators
and organs in favor of sound money.

THE GREATER BLOW.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please give
your opinion rs to which was the greater
blow to the Confederate cause-considering
the ultimate results of each-the battle of
Gettysburg or the battle of Chickamauga?
S. A. MCNEIL, 31st Ohio, Redwood, o.
1t is exceedingly difficult to say which
was the greater blow, because both were
grievous disappointments to the sanguine
rebels, and contributed enormously to-
ward taking the vim and hope out Of
all the supporters of the rebellion. If
Lee had been able to win even a partial
victorya at Gettysburg, and had compelled
the Union army to so much as fall back
to Pipe Clay Creek, it would have been
an immense success, and would probably
have been followed by the recognition
of the Southern Confederacy by Great
Britain and France. On the other hand,
the rebels confidently expected to re-
trieve both Gettysburg and Vicksburg
by overwhelming and crushing Rose
crans's army in the mountains of Georgia.
The total failures in both instances were
very disheartening, and cost them enor-
mously in things which they could least
afford-men and material of war.

THE ALABAMA.

1t having been decided that one Of
the new war-ships shall be called the
Kearsarge," the Charleston Neu:
and Courier renews the fool sugges.
ton that her sister ship be called the
Alabama" out of compliment to Secre.
tary Herbert's State, and Gas preserving
the memory of the celebrated Confeder-
ate cruiser Alabama, to the sinking Of
which the Kearsarge owes all her fame.
1t would be, moreover, fitting recogni-
ton by a reunited country of the Prov
ess of both sides in the unhappy period
of division and strife"
The suggestion is outrageous. The
alabama was British pirate, built
by Englishmen, and most probably with
English money, for the express purpose
of destroying American commerce for
the benefit of England. She had an
English crew, and her gunners had been
trained in the British Artillery School
at Woolwich. She was sent out by the
British Government against the direct
protest of our Minister, with the expecta-
ton that her raid would be of enormous
benefit to English shipping, and proper
tionately hurtful to that of the United
States. This expectation was realized
to the highest extent. There
was nothing Confederate about the
ship except two or three renegade
officers, and the flag which she oc-
casionly flew. Timbers, guns, powder,
shot, engines, crew, and the flag she most
frequently displayed were all British.
Not nail in her, not splinter of wood,
not an inch of cloth, rope or sails had
ever been on American soil. British
officials and officers gave her greeting,
applause and substantial aid in every
quarter of the globe. When she was at
last sent to the bottom of the sea Brit
ish ship was close at hand to rescue her
commander and crew, and carry them
away to England. The memory of the
Alabama" and Of everybody and every
thing connected with her, is inexpressibly
odious, and it is an insult to the loyalty
of the country to urge that one of our
vessels should be given the hateful name
Probably, however, the New York Times
and EUening Post will insist that it be
done.

PERSONAL.

Gen. Charles IT. t. Coils. formerly Colonel
of the Hath Pa. (Collis Zouaves), has been sp-
pointed Commissioner of Public Works of New
York City. This is higbly-important posi-
ton. and Gen. Collis's appointment has par
ticular significance because he is an Anti-Platt
Republican.
The late ex- Gov. Jerry Rusk, who was ore Of
President Harrison's most popular Cabinet
Ministers, used TO tell this on himself He was
commanding brigade in Sherman's army
while it was passing through North Carolina.
For several nights they eamped in pine forests
The piteh-pine fires blaekened the faces Of the
men beyond the power of soapless water to
whiten them, and when they emerged from The
forest they looked like colored troops. One
morning when the brigade pulled out there
was a gathering of white people by the road
side to see it pass. One MISUNDERSTANDING
North Carolinian was hOrriGed as he looked
into the faces of the men and discovered that
they were nothing but niggahs, sahI" When
he saw Rusk's black face he drew back and
said: My God The Yankees have niggah
Generals, too! Look at that field hand :" and
pointed at WiseOnsin's popular State officer,
Congressman, Governor. and Cabinet Min ster.
Gen. Rusk heard the remark, wheeled around
and said: my friend, have you any soap
about you? / would like to wash my face. I
don't object to looking like a colored man, but
I do object to having a blank rebel tell ne Pm
a darby" The North Carolinian healed for
his mansion.
Comrads E. G. Bosbyshell, well known
throughout Grand Army Circles. and formerly
Colonel of the 48th Pa, is having trouble.
While Superintendent of the Mint, n trusted
employee one of the oldest in the place, and
whose mind had been affected by bis gress
responsibilities. began to secretly carry away
the bullion committed to his charge. He was
detected. and all but s14O1O.52 worth recovered
The Government has now begun suit against
COL Bosbyshell and his bondsmen for the re-
eovery of this amount. Tue ColonePs defense
is that the bullion taken was part OF special
deposit not under his care but that OF the
Director Of the Mint, had been placed in .
special vault before Bosbyshell eDteLsd the
office, and the keys of this retained by the
Director of the Mint and the who took
the gold. The jury has returned verdict
against Col. Bosbyshell.

THE TURKISH SITUATION.

The aggravating Eastern situation
took a still more awkward turn last
week. The British Minister at Constan-
tinople had applied for permission for
an additional warship to be allowed to
pass the Dardanellcs, and assist in pro-
tecting the Christian residents of the
Empire Permission was at first granted
and then withdrawn, and the British
Minister, after consultation with the
Home Government, felt it to be polite
to accept the snub. The difficulty is
that the Sultan is the only power that
can hold the mi-barbarians in his realm
in check at present. 1t is true he has
but slender control of them, and that
control is daily weakening. 1t would
disappear altogether if they felt that he
was under the thumb of the "infidels."
Even if the powers were agreed, and
entirely ready for action, with hundreds
Of thousands Of troops massed along the
Turkish border, it would be impossible
for them to reach all points of the ex-
tsnsive Empire in time to prevent the
wholesale massacres of Christians and
Jews were the Mahometan inams to
proclaim that the Sultan is in the hands
Of the "giaours," and that a "holy
war" must begin. Therefore, it is felt
best to strengthen the Sultan's position,
and give him a chance to do something.
This only protracts the evil, however.
The end has to come, and one shudders
TO think Of it.

THE recent panic in London over
what are known as the Kaffir" mining
stocks develops some highly-important
facts There were all sorts of worthless
stocks of South African gold mines afoat
in the London market, and greater
number of others which were on mines
largely over-capitalized. But the fact
was demonstrated that outside of and be-
yond all these the known quantity of
easily-worked gold in that region is far
beyond any previous discoveries Of the
precious metals. There is much more
gold within certain reach in South AT
rica than there ever was in Australia or
California The great French economist,
Paul Leroy-Beaulieu, estimates the sup
ply of gold from there will reach from
S200,000000 to S240,000,000 year,
and continue for probably 30 years. The
inevitable consequence of this will be a
steady rise in prices Of everything as
the supply of gold increases.

SCHOOL, CHILDREN, HTTEHD!
The American Flag for the
SchOOlhOuSe.
GIVEN FREE TO ANY DISTRICT SCHOOL.

We have decided to offer free flag to any
school or any battalion of the American
Guard.
The desire for flag is universal, AMI it is
not provided for out of public funds except
in two or three States. Our flags are made
of regulation Navy bunting. The stars are
all sewed on with double row of stitches,
just as in the Army and Navy flags used by
the Government,
We have various sizes, but the style of
workmanship and the material is the same
in all.
All that is necessary 20 do TO get one of
these flags is to raise small club Of yearly
subscribers to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
at one dollar for each subscriber. The
larger The flag wanted the larger the club
naturally; but in all cases we have made
the club so small that one or two energetic
boys or girls can raise it among their friends
by only few hours work. We will send
the flag at once upon the receipt of the club,
with the money, at the rate of one dollar for
each subscriber. a. b
We will send one of these splendid hunt
ing flags, by feet, for club of only 6
yearly subscribers.
A flag, same quality, by feet, for q
club of yearly subscribers.
A flag, same quality, 6 by 10 feet, for a
club OF 10 yearly subscribers.
A fiag, ct by IL feet, for club of IL year.
ly subscribers.
A flag, by IA feet, for club of ID yearly
subscribers.
This will give selection of sizes lmple
to suit almost any case If, however, diff
ferent size, or if silk is wanted instead OF
bunting, we can furnish it, and will make
known the terms upon application.
Remember, these flags are given away as
a reward for our club-raisers There is no
charge whatever, except that the receiver
will pay the express charges, which on so
light package are but trifle.
Now, boys and girls, 90 to work. Send
for sample copies of the paper to show your
friends. Begin at once. Address
