- Inerprc1nLr scHooL FUND.

THF TRREDUCIBLE SCHOOL FUND.
One OF the most impressive object les
sons on the wisdom. integrity and econ
omy of Democratic administration Of
the affairs of state in West Virginia is
presented by the irreduc.ble school fund,
wh.ca long ago reached such proportions
that .hsre has been difficulty in safely
and proGtaby investing it. This din
Guilty has grown with the fund, AID is in
creased by the fact tina, the fund IS So
hedged ID ly law as to render the prob
lem one Of no mean proportions.
TIE sum tina. still remains uninvest-
ed is $2SS.755. L, has been agreed 70
inves. S105.000 IN Berkeley county 51z
per cent. bonds, and Mondsville will
probably offer $4,000 Of her municipal
bonds 10 the school fund board. But
should both these investments be car
ried through &c would SIN leave $15S,-
100 in the irreducible school fund seek
ing investment
In view OF the fact that this surplus
is likely TO lie IDLE, earning nothing. for
some time to come, would it not be ap-
propr,ate 10 spend portion Of it judi
ciously IN those scarcely settled counties
of the State whose representatives. in the
Legislature are continually. at every ses-
sion Of that body, attempting TO increase
the general school levy in order that
they may draw from the richer counties
Of the Safe for the support Of the schools
IN these poorer counties?
such a disposition Of a portion Of the
idle surplus in the irreducible school
fund would. it seems to the Register, be
a proper use Of educational funds and
a the same time be jus, and entirely
satisfactory TO all parties concerned.

We viii commend your securities so
long as your property is managed con
sevtively; bu1 if it should appear that
your officers are acting recklessly, or
are wilfuI d.sturbers, we viii advise the
public to let your stocks and bonds
alone" Doubtless a statement of this
kind from men Of authority in financial
circles would speedily subdue the most
belUgerent.7 but one may be permitted
TO doubt the readiness Of any number Of
bankers TO give their time to any such
business If stockholders cannot be in
duced TO devote enough attention to the
management Of their own property 10
check abuses in its management, it IS
TOO much to expect men fully occupied
with other affairs to 90 the work for
them. At the same tine, it is .mpos-
sible mo- TO give a hearty agreement to
the statement of Mr.. AI:dgley that ct
is moustrous that affairs so vast as are
lALDHt lNpL rr--Atr4 ny ld-l-udA ~ 1.-LLl'
should be at the mercy Of any petulant
Official, or be subject to the caprice Of
an ordinary agent" The root of the
ayl clearly is 10 be found in the fact
that the authority to establish rates Of
transportation which is conferred upon
the directors has by them been devolved
upon the managers, who IN turn have
delegated it to subordinates, whose chief
ambition IS to accumulate tonnage. As
l-r. NIidgley puts the case: 1T is a sad
commentary upon modern methods,
which IN other branches Of railroad ser
vice have reached such a high state Of
efficiency, vhat the earning power Of a
road can be, and often IS. wasted by ir-
responsible agents. without attracting
notice from those whom the stockholders
elected to look after their interests"

A practical railroad man. and chair
man of the Western Freight AssOcia-
Ton. Mr.. John W. Nndgley. has an in
teresting article in the current Forum
on the subject Of railroad rate wars. In
discussing the long and short haul of
the Interstate Commerce law, he adj
mits that the custom Of giving special
rates TO favored customers is a grave
evil. He points our that by the aid Of
special rates. enabling favored indiv.d-
uals to uuderseu their rivals in common
markets. the fortunate few were able to
accumulate vast wealth. He speaks of
one firm which grew in that way until
its grain shipments Appropriated 10O.-
600 carloads per year. so closely were
they enabled to figure tina, a profit Of 81
per car was all they desired, and that
was assured by the promised assistance
Of the interested carrier" One natural
result Of this practice was that the most
prom .nent shippers eventually had the
railroads a. their mercy. Dealers IN
staple commodity would ask that they
De given 10. Is or % per cent. below the
rates charged TO others in the same bus
mess. or they would pauonize Compel
ing carriers. Hence the third section Of
the Interstate Commerce law, forbid
ding the charging of a greater sum TO
one person than TO another for a like
service. a section which, as Mr.. M.ds-
ley admits. IS not strictly regarded.
As the most practical method Of put
ting IN end alike 10 rate wars and IN
iust discrimination, Mr.. Midgley pro-
poses that there should be constituted
a board or syndicate Of bankers. rep
resenting investors in corporate proper
ties. Such an organization would be in
a position to say to a railroad company

Mr.. HoweUs is on, with criticism OF
the grammar used by Mr.. Cleveland IN
his famous Venezuelan message. The
sentence 10 which Mr.. HOweLs takes
SPECIAL exception IS this one: There Is
no calamity which a great nation can IN
vi,e which equals that which follows a
sup.ne submission 20 wrong and injus-
tee. and the consequent loss Of national
seIf-respscc and honor, beneath which IS
shielded a peoples safety and great
ness" Never mind, GIr. Howells, the
American people are perfectly satisfied
with the construction Of that sentence
and they and their children will be read

when the future historian shall write
the story of this campaign, there will

shown that Sewall's nomination was for
the deliberate purpose OF fastening upon

"As for the Maine. election, II Is just
as well that the pie-hunters should
know how the people regard them. When
notorious corruptionist like Powers
can carry Maine by over $4,000 majority,
II shows that something more than an
economic question Is involved.
THE character OF the Democratic
leaders Is too well known to require ex-
tended comment. They Jumped astride
this silver wave with an alacrity that
would have done credit to professional
acrobat. They would have done just
the same had any other question been
before the people that would have given
them the Offices. They are absolutely
destitute OF principle. and are ready TO
blow either hot or cold on any public
