WAR DAYS RECALLED.
Survivors of the First Troops Retrace
the Old Line of March.

Thirty-five years ago last Thursday the
first Union troops to respond TO President
Lincoln's proclamation asking for vOlun-
teers started on their way to the defense
of the capital One hundred and thirty
five survivors of those Pennsylvania mi
litia companies celebrated the anniversary
br following the same line of march, but
their reception in Baltimore in 1896 was
somewhat different from that of 1861.
They represent what is known as the
First Defenders Association, the living
remnants OF five battaliOns of militia,
numbering nearly 200 men, as follows:
The Washington artillery and national
light infantry of Pottsvile the Ringgold
light artillery of Reading, the Logan
guard of Lewiston and the Allen infantry
of Allentown.
President Lincoln issued his proclama-
ton on the 10Th of April. The same day
the officers OF these companies reported
at Harrisburg with their men, and on
Tuesday. April Is, having been mustered
in. they boarded train on the Northern
Central Railway and started for Balti-
more. There they were compelled to
change cars and march through the city
Although a platoon of police furnished
them an escort, they were followed by a
mob of several hundred persons, who
threw stones at them as they marched.

But only one person was wounded, and
that was a colOred servant of the cap

cut on the face by brick. On the 10Th
of April the Sixth Massachusetts regi-

an even more angry mob, and the riot
which occurred on that day in Baltimore
is Il matter of history.
The survivors of the First Defenders
Association met at Harrisburg to begin
their historic pilgrimage, which covered
the entire route over which they went in
1861. In Baltimore they were the guests
Of the city, and were entertained by the
Grand Army of the Republic. They went
to Washington Friday and remained until

The spirit of criticism uncaEed for
has struck one of the members of the
House in delicate spot. 1t is health
full exercise to air opinions upon mat
tiers of public interest, but no man
ought to enter upon the field without
he is willing to take pleasantly as good
as he sends, and if his opponent hap
pens to be better man, look smiling
when he gets the worst of it. The Ex-
ecutive have to meet a good deal of
criticism, but that is no reason why
they should stand with their hands
behind them and say nothing while
Tom, Dick and Harry fire away, each
in his own peculiar style.

NECESSITY FOR ACTION.

The action of the Senate with re.
gard to the funds of the Board of Edu-
cation completely paralyzed the action
of that body. The allowance for pay roll
was at the rate of $4,000 per month
and the actual pay roll for the month
of February was SIS, 1925. Unless the
House of Representatives comes to the
rescue it will be impossible to have any
further expansion of the schools. 1t is
very evident that it would be useless to
build school houses if there are no
funds to pay teachers to teach in them.
The only way to avert the difficulty,
if no relief is given, would be to close
up the schools when the funds were ex-
hausted, or to reduce the salaries, which
with very few exceptions only afford a
bare living for the teachers. OF the 269
teachers at present in the employ of
the DOdIu, Only n nave SdldllSS VI
81, 900 and upwards, while the remain
ing 225 range below 5000 per annum,
the average being $50 per month. This
is but a small reward for painstaking
labor. A teacher has to spend much
time and money to become fitted for
the profession, and it is very evident
that economy cannot, or certainly ought
not, to be commenced by any cutting
down of the pittance which most teach
ers receive.
Not only is the Board prevented from
expanding the schools, but it will be
impossible TO advance the salaries of
such of the assistant teachers as have,
under the schedule in use by the Board,
earned by length of service and ability
a clear right to an advance. We un-
derstand the Board has graduated list
of salaries which has been, as far as
possible, carried ost under the admin
istration of Hon w. R. Castle and
Professor w. d. Alexander Under
these circumstances it is to be hoped
that the committe report to the House
may be acted upon.

A QUESTION OF IRON BUILDINGS

a petition will soon be placed before
the Legislature calling for a revision of
the law relating to the character OF
buildings within the fire limits The
present law requires that buildings
shall be constructed of either brick,
stone or iron. 1t was no doubt the in
tention that the law should not only
result in better protection of the bust
neesss portion of the city, but also do
away with the shanty-like structures
that now grace many of the leading
streets. Of late, however, there has
been an epidemic of '1ean-tos'', built
of corrugated iron, which in their con-
struction come within the letter of the
law. These buildings are mere iron
shells, dropped in here and there on
the principal street fronts, in a man
ner which, to say the least, does not add
to the architectural beauty of the bust
ness portion of our city We know of
no reason why these buildings should
not be put up in the rear of business

For the first time in the history of
the country the Legislature is to be
treated TO public demonstration
against the encroachments of the Ash
atics. If present plans are carried out,
the working force of the Portuguese
colony is TO appear en- masse before the
members of the Legislature on Wednes-
day. AS to the cause for grievance, we
can speak more positively when the ex-
act character of the petitions is made
known. If it is to be general demand
for the expulsion of the Asiatics, we
would suggest that the best way to
attain the object of their desires is for
the Portuguese to spend some time in
thinking out a rational solution of the
problem they call upon the Legislature
to attack. 1t is a matter that cannot
be finished up and put aside with
turn of the hand Sober, earnest
thought, with a careful balancing of
the varied interests of the country, is
what is needed to set the wheels turn
ing in the right direction. Petitions pre-
scented in person will have their effect,
but that does not settle the matter.

blocks, or anywhere out of sight from
the street. The way they are springing
up at present, however, not only mars
the general appearance of the street,
but often times tends to injure adjoin-
ing property holders. 1t will be wise

iron buildings within a miniInized
minimum
