We must confess that we do not per-
celve the cause of our contemporary's
superabundant Indignation. Upon It's
face the bill in question appears busi-
ness-llke and fair. The people who by
their taxes pay for official advertising
that advertising appear in newspapers
which are read by them. This Is true
payers, both of whom are duly consld-
cred In the bill. If the bill to which
the Record so strenuously objects were
the law in Lackawanna county, 1t
would mean that If two daily papers of
different politics were chosen by reason
of their superior circulation, they
would be The Tribune, which has n
larger circulation than any other Re-
publican daily in Northeastern Penn
sylvania. and the Times. which is the
only Democratic daily paper in the
county. In what respect would this ar
rangement be unbuslness- like and un-
far?
We can see nothing in 1t which would
tend either to "mu2zle the press or to
plumber the people," and we doubt If
any Ole else can.

Charities and the Schools.

Colonel Henry Hall, the Plttsburg
Times efficient correspondent, makes
an eloquent plea to the country mem
bers in favor OF a reduction OF . per
cent. in the public school apprOpria tscn.
"While the constituents Of these mem
bcrs." he says. do not want to see
the school appropriation reduced, yet
they are by this time fully aware Of the
fact that the great business depression
Of the past two years has hit the states
revenues very hard. that there must be
reductions all along the line and that II
Is no more than fair for the schools &c
take it with the rest, No one will deny
that the state has treated tho schools
very generously during the past six or
eight years. and to slightly reduce the
aid now is not to do IT from caprice but
from necessity. The charities of Penn.
sylvania have long been Il monument to
the benevolence of the people. To leave
less. as must be done. unless the extra
S1,0O000o given the schools two years
ago be diverted this year to charities.
would be to inhict D. cruel injury upon
the hapless persons who are now re
ceiving their benefits"
This is true II there ia no escape from
crppling either the schools or the
charities. The people at large certain
ly do not desire that either should suf-
fer. But there Is a widespread belief
that the state. by drawing on its COW
idle reserve fund can avoid hurting
either III relation to the public schools
it must be borne in mind that for the
next two years the state will be under
an unmeasured additional expense by
reason Of the enactment Of compulsory
education. The Legislature which
passed this law owes 1t to the people
who demanded it to provide funds for
a fair trial of 1t. TO add to the In
evitable expense of the public school
system with one hand while cutting
down ths school appropriations with
the other is hardly the fair course to
pursue. And it can with difficulty be
explained to the people.
Why should the state. in a time of
financial depression, stand on foot
ing different from that of the private
citizen? The citizen who has a reserve
fund draws upon it tor necessary ex-
Denses not covered by his reduced in
come. The state. 1t seems to us, might
well adopt the same wise policy.

How to Repair the Revenues.

Ex-Congressman Harter has devised
a plan to relieve the financial en-
barrassment of the federal govern
ment. He would increase the internal
s15,O0O,000. The tax on beer should, he
thinks. "be increased s3OOOO,OOO, which
would not result in any decrease in the
size of glass or increase in the cost to
drinkers. The whiskey tax, already
high, should be enlarged enough to add
to the revenue from this source about
S15,0OO,0O0. Tea and coffee should be
taxed enough to cost the consumer
about one mill per cup or a cent for
each ten cups, which tax would bring
in about $3O,000OOO in ordinary years.
Here you have an increase in the in
come of the United States of 800, 900, 900
without putting a noticeable burden
upon anybody. With this simple legis-
lation our deficit would be transferred
into a wholesome surplus of $4,000
900. and no calling or industry would
suffer and no Individual citizen would
have any just ground for complaint"
Mr.. Harter is a Democrat, who, as
congressman from the Mansfield, O.,
district, helped to replace the Mckinley
tariff, under which revenues were ade-
quate, with the hybrid Wilson expert
ment under which Uncle Sam has be-
come almost bankrupt. 1t Is fortunate
that Mr.. Harter realizes, at last, the
need Of repairs upon his partys
boasted fiscal legislation, and that he
is frank enough ito say so. There may
be something to say in opposition to q
tax on coffee and tea, which are house.
hold necessities; but there can be no
reasonable objection to making tobacco
and liquors. which are luxurles, bear
a heavier share of the tax burden than
they bear ait present.
If the next congress shall feel called
upon to do any missionary work in the
direction of helping Mr.. Cleveland $
party out of the deep hole into which
1t has precipitated itself, 1t could hardly
do better than to increase the revenue
tax on whisky, beer and cigars. That
would be. decidedly preferable to So
cialistic income tax on brains and
thrift.

Spare the Party This Disgrace.

The Philadelphia Press makes the
opportune point that should the pres
ent legislature fail to enact an equita-
bic series of apportionments as re-
quired by the constitution, It will be
the first instance of deliberate delin-
quency in this matter on the part Of a
Republican legislature at time when
there was also Republican executive.
The election of Democratic governor
in 1852 prevented the success Of any
apportionment legislation based upon
the census of 1880 Through two ses-
sions. When in 1886 a Republican gov
ernor and legislature were elected at
the same time the event was followed
by reapportionment of the congress-
sional and legislative districts. and
senatorial apportionment only failed
by the merest accident in the closing
hours Of the. session. The good faith
then manifested put the dominant
-
The election of n Democratic governor
again in 1890 made n reapportionment
on the census of that year practically
impossible as long as he continued in
office. 1t was conceded to be useless
TO undertake It, There Is no longer
any such reason for failure to act. The
state now has Republican executive
whose position on this important
question has been made very plain by
his own decisive declarations. Gov
erInor Hastings has more than once
said that reapportionment Is n consti-
tutional duty, and with governor and
legislature in party harmony there
can be no excuse for failure"
We take no stock In the veied as
serttons Of Senator Quays enemies
that 1t is the personal influence of the
junior senator which has operated to
interrupt the discharge OF this solemn
duty. No doubt the senator may have
expressed his regret at the manifest
unfairness of one of the measures of
congressional reapportionment. If he
has done this. it was both proper
and a timely expression of widely
prevalent opinion. which the legisla-
ture, in reconsidering the larger issue
Of its duty toward the constitution,
should take into account. But such
an expression Is far from indicative of
hostility to reapportionment in gen.
eral; and ought not to be thus con-
strued by those mischievous friends Of
Senator Quay who use their influence
with him as a capital for personal
speculation.
But whatever the senator's attitude,
there is no room for uncertainty as to
the legislatures present duty in the
premises The constitution is manda-
tory In its direction that reappor-
tionment shall be made; and public
sentiment throughout the state is ap-
plying the precedent of Governor Baa-
ver's administration to the admins
tratfon of Governor Hastings. 1t Is not
necessary to make many changes in
any locality; but such changes as are
necessary to be made should be made
willingly, and not under the lash of
party and public discipline, with it's
humiliating publicity to legislative In.

The legislature should spare it's Re-
publican majority the disgrace OF an
extra session, called to do what the
