THE TOWN SCHOOLS.

The independent School District
of Martinsburg has been carrying q
debt for several years, the balance
unpaid now amounting to $4,000.
On this instead of funding at a
lower rate of interest, the taxpayers
have been paying Sper cent. interest
and the bonds are taxable. This
is great waste hole that should be
stopped, either by the payment Of
the debt, or by new issue Of bonds
which can be fioated anywhere. 1t
is thought, that, with the current
years taxes and the amount due by
the late Sheriff, the Board of Edu-
cation will be able to liquidate the
debt with its terrible interest. But
the town is growing and some of the
ward schools are over crowded with
too many children for rooms and
teachers. This is particularly so in
the Fourth Ward, and an addition
is talked of for that building. But,
the First Ward has never had a
school building and the children
have been parceled out to various
wards, principally the over crowded
Fourth. 1t will cost over $4,000 to
erect an addition to the Fourth
Ward building, and eventually the
First must have q building which
would render the addition useless.
Then, had not the Board better put
that money into a school building,
that is now q necessity in the First
Ward, and thus relieve the other
schools by thus keeping within their
own bounds the children of that
ward. If the Board can utilize the
$4,000 for this purpose there will be
no trouble in getting the balance at
per cent. interest either from in
dividuals or from the banks of the
town. We believe that the most
feasible and proper, and make the
suggestion both to the people and
the members Of the Board.

In all the wide rage of creation there
is nothing which approaches Niagara
Falls in ma9niliceOce or grandeur, nor
any other object which inspires the be

One must see the great cataract in order
to form any conception of its vastness
or secure 4 proper appreciation of its
majesty.
The series of tours arranged by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company leav-
ing Philadelphia July IS, August l and
Is, September Z, and October s, and
Washington and Baltimore July %,
August and %. September 7, and Oc-
tober 8,saffords an excellent opportunity
to make the trip at q remarkably small
expense.
The rate for round-trip tickets, good
for ten days, is SO from Winchest er,
Martinsburg, aud Hagerstown, and
proportionate rates from other points.
A special train Of Pullman parlor cars

A WONDERFUL DEBATE.

Messrs. Roswell P. Horn, the ia
nous tariff and sound money advo-
cate and W. II. Harvey, the author
of the "School of Coin," a book in
behalf of free coinage of silver, are
having ten days duel, in debate, in
Chicago, 1t is very interesting, al.
though, even the daily papers scarce
ly give full report. They discuss
before two chosen judges and in the
presence of multitude OF people, for
three hours each day, all phases of
finances, relating to monometsllsm,
bi-metallism and free coinage of sill
yer. The history of currency they
trace from the "daddies'' time to the
present. One very pertinent remark
was made by Mr.. Horr, which has
been true from the beginning, and
will continue true to the end of time,
viz: "The quality of the money
used in any country is far more i'm
portant than the quantity" A de-
preciated currency of any kind, like
d mans note, which no person will
have, is only evidence of worthless
ness. Solid shot it is proved will
penetrate even Haryeyized plate.

STRANGE.

Strange, passing strange, that,
with a Republican Board Of Eduea-
ton, it was permitted for majority
of the teachers to remain in position,
who are either Democrats or the
sons and daughters of Democrats.
Strange, nothing strange, that, when
the Democrats had control, they
scalped every Republican teacher
except Prof. Pitzer, because of fear
of his patrons in the Second Ward.
The contrast is marked, and shows
that one side comedies that all the
people have rights under the law
while the other is a head chopping
process, that in the course of time
usually brings the choppers head in
to his own basket. Governor Mac
Corkle, however, took a different
view and in appointments to State
institutions, gave the Republicans q
fair representation.

the farmers that the hay crop will

wsy is as good as any, viz: Sow an
acre or more, according to the
amount of food required, broad cast,
either cure it as ensilage or as you
cure fodder, and the result willprove
both satisfactory and usful. Care
must be taken in thoroughly curing,
or otherwise it will either heat and
