proride Cor the penciency.

Every one of the demands for appro-
priations pending in the legislature are.
so far as we are aware, meritorious. The
university is in need of money for i'm
provements. the normal school ought to
have more dormitories and the public
school fund ought to be increased. But
there is one thing that should be pro-
vided for before any appropriations out
side of those for the actual expenses of
maintaining the government and the US
ual appropriations for the public schools,
are made. We refer to the deficit, which
now amounts to more than $4,000. 1t was
bad policy to permit this deficit to reach
so large an amount. 1t is the result of
several years of bad finaneiering on the
part of the legisature-that is, the legis-
lature has, year after year, appropriated
more money than the amount Of the
states revenues.
If the legislature does. not provide for
settling all of this debt this year it ought
to make provision for settling it within
the next three or four years. II the de-
flciency is allowed to run along it will
narily heavy tax will have to be levied or
bonds will have to be issued. If either
remedy is adopted an opportunity will be
offered to ind fault with democratic man
agement-an opportunity of which the
populists will not be slow to take ad-
vantage.
It seems to us that if the legislature
does not see it's way clear to giving the
public schools 100000 in addition to the
81 100, 600 which they now receive it will in
crease the public school fund to some ex-
tent We believe that too great liberality
cannot be exercised in respect to the pub
lie schools. And we do not see any OBJ
lection to the plan of Mr.. Glenn, the SUI
perintendent of the public schools, for
raising the standard of the schools and
for keeping the schools open longer each
year. Only few counties now levy di-
rect school tax. Why should not all of
them be required to do so as condition
for getting any appropriation for schools
from the state? If this policy were adopt
ed there would be a much higher appre-
citation Of the public schools. The people
value that for which they have to pay,
and if they were taxed directly for MAIN
tanning the schools they would insist upon
better school houses, better teachers and
would see to it that their children at
tended school MI Glenn's plan is worthy
of very thoughtful consideration.

From the New York Times.
The royal feast was done; the king
Sought some new sport to Danish care,
And to his jester cried, "Sir. fool,
Kneel now and make for us prayer"
The Jester DOTTED his cap and bells
And stood the hooking court before.
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's siiken stool.
His pleading voice arose" o Lord,
Be merciful to me, fool.
"'Tis not guilt and onward sweep
OF truth and right, o Lord, we stay:
'Tis by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
"These clumsy feet, still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard, well-meaning hands we thrust
Among the heart strings of friend.
9TH ill-timed truth we might have kept
Who knows how sharp it pierced and
stung?
The word we have not sense to say
Who knows how grandly it had rung?
"Our faults no tenderness should ask;
The Christening stripes must cleanse
7 them all;
But for our blunders-oh, in shame
Before the eyes of heaven we fall.
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knave and scourge the
tool
That did their will; but Thou, o Lord,
BE rasrciful to me, fool"
The room was hushed In silence rose
The king and sought his gardens cool,
And walked apart and murmured low,
BE merciful to me, fool"
