About School Appropriations.

Under the new school law, providing
for the distribution of the annual appro-
priatiOn, the president and secretary of
each school board are required to make
returns under oath TO the county super
intendent in November of each year,
giving the actual number of paid teach
ers in their respective districts. A failure
to make this report is punishable by for
feiture of the appropriation.
The above item has been going the
rounds of the press for the past three
weeks and is very misleading as to the
provisions of the law passed by the last
legislature providing for new and more
equitable method for distributing the
State appropriations to the common
schools. There is nothing in the act re-
lative to the forfeiture of any portion of
the appropriation as a penalty tor nom
| compliance with its provisions. The only
| section of the new act making any ref
erence to the president and secretary of
the school board is Sec. 4, prescribing
their duties, and that section we quote as
/ follows:
Section 4, That on the first Monday of
/ December, one thousand eight hundred
i
after, the president and secretary of each
school board shall, under oath, certify to
the county, city or borough superintend-
ents OF their respective counties, cities or
| bOroughs, the number Ofteachers in their
employ as contemplated in this act and
on the first Monday of January, one
! thousand eight hundred and ninety eight,
| and biennially thereafter the said cOun-
| ty, city or borough superintendent shall,
! under oath, make return To the Superin-
| tendent of Public Instruction on such
| blank as he shall prepare, tabulated re-
/ turn by districts Of the teachers of his
county, city or borough, and any presi-
dent or secretary Of a school board or
! superintendent OF a county, city or bor-
ough, who neglects or refuses to perform
his duty within ten days of the time des-
| iginated, shall be subject TO a fine of not
less than twenty-five nor more than one
hundred dollars.
The new law is one of the best ever
passed by any legislature, in that it is
designated to take care of the smaller
counties and more sparsely settled dis
tricts which will receive a much larger
proportion Of the annual appropriations
than heretofore. Forest county's increase
ought TO be nearly one-third under this
act.

Distasteful Prosperity.

The prospect that as a result of the
excess Of exports over imports our
balance of trade will continue to in.
crease, and will require still larger
exports of gold from Europe to the
United States, is recognized with dis
may by the London Statist of Oct.
ober, as follows:
With large cotton shipments in
October, November and December,
and with the high price of wheat, the
merchandise balance for the six
months ending December will be
larger than ever previously. In Oct
ober, 1896, the favorable balance
reached $63,000,000, 10 November
it was S59, 100000, and in Decem ber
S58, 100000 while even in January it
was S42 100000. Should anything
like these figures be witnessed in the
present year, and should trade iu the
United States continue to revive, it
cannot be doubted that further con.
siderable sums of gold must be taken.
Eminent free.trade authority is the
Statist, and its candid recognition of
the remarkable incre ase in our sales
to foreign countries under the system
of protection cannot but bring pain
to the many misguided theorists who
have all aloug insisted that it could
not be that we must buy as much as
we sold, aud that for this reason a
protective tariff would rut US off from
any demand for our surplus products
Prosperity at such price is extreme.
ly distastefnl. Better that the times
should continue distressngly hard
than that favorite free trade dogma
should be eternally smashed. 1t is
such type of Americanism that is
bred by the free trade propaganda.

THERE is no particular cause for
alarm over the announcement that
Mr.. Bryan and his associates, who
recently put their heads together at
Louisville, are determined "to keep
up the fight for silver" The facts are
that the Republicans made gains in
the counties which Mr. Bryan visited
in Ohio, and also made gains in the
cities which he visited last year.

The first country to send a com.

standing by which trade relations IN
der the new Law shonld be made as
compared with those under the old

against that law when it was under
consideration. The Canadian Gov.
ernment, in sending its chief Official

negotiations in this line, showed that
all of the complaints about our tariff

only for effect, and are no longer

STATE POLITICS.
tspecIal correspondenee1


Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-Politics do not
seem to make a ripple upon the placid
surface of the state OF Pennsylvania at
the present time. But this apparent
rest should not be taken too seriously.
There is a good deal Of agitation under
the surface, and 1t will break loose in
due time. Before this letter reaches the
reader Senator Quay, who has return
ed TO washington from his Florida
retreat, will have plunged once more
into the excitement and worry OF polit-
ical and legislative life at the national
capital. Senator Penrose has already
gone to washington where he has Sc
cured quarters for the winter. Nearly
all Of the members OF the Pennsylvania
delegation are getting housed for the
winter and otherwise preparing for
short sharp and decisive campaign un-
der the big dome OF the capitol. 1t
must be said in all candor that the
state Of Pennsylvania never had a bet
ter or more energetic representation at
the capitol than it has at the present
time, and the two senators and the
congressman can be depended upon to
get all there is possible to get for the
state of Pennsylvania both in the way
of appointments and appropriations.
The prospects of a new state cap
itol being built upon the ruins of the
old structure at Harrisburg in time
to be ready for occupancy on the part
of the legislature in January, 1892 are
excellent. The new capitol building
commission, under a decision of the su-
preme court, has decided not to com
pensate the six specially invited archi-
tects who submitted plans unless they
can show that their plans conformed
to the program as prepared by the com
mission These special architects were
| to receive 81, 900 each.
Architect Henry Ives Cobb, who has
| been selected to supervise the con-
| struction of the new capitol, has pre-
sented modified plans and specifica-
tions, and submitted them for appro-
val All of them have been approved
with some slight alterations. Under
the new plan the senate and house will
be situated as in the old capitol, In
stead of the house being in the rear OF
the senate, as the original Cobb plar
provided for. The rest of the specih
cations will be produced at a meet.
ing to be held next week, and If approx.
ed the contract will be let. 1t was alsC
decided to let the entire contract fol
excavations, foundation and superstruc
ture to one contractor, and not divide
1t up.
The fight that is being waged against
the Martin and Magee machines In
Philadelphia and Pittsburg continues
and the performance is being watched
with unabated interest by the people
Of the commonwealth, who can be fool
ed some of the time, but not all the
time. In other words, mere perfunctorJ
exhibitions of harmony on the part OF
Senator Quay or any other leader are
not sufficient to reconcile the voters tt
either Mr.. Martin or Mr., Magee. Sen
ator Quay evidently realizes this i'm
portant truth, and will learn in time
that the Republican party is much
safer without the aid OF such men thar
It is with their help or assistance.

ORGANIZATION of Invaders.

London, April 10.-The Athens cor
respondent of the Times telegraphs as
follows: The band of invaders was
organized under the personal direction
of GonoS, a Greek of Alexandria. The
headquarters were in the valley of the
mountainous districts of Kelabak near
the famous monasteries of Memora
Most of the members of the band,
which includes a number of Italian VOL
unteers, arrived last week by special
train from Volto. A camp was chosen
and military organization was then
proceeded with.
Two former Greek officers, Mylonas
and Kapsialotonios, were given the su-
preme command.
Six captains were appointed, two of
whom, Zermas and Davelis, are we'll
known insurgent chiefs. A large num-
Der of Subalterns, two surgeons and
three chaplains, one of whom is a man
of gigantic stature and carries the
standard, were also appointed. An
oar chaplain is a priest from Mount
Athios.
Ihe day after the arrival of the band
arms and uniforms, badges with the
arms of the Ethnike Hetaria (national
league) were served out, and a commits
sariat corps of so men was formed.
Mules arrived for the transport serv-
ice. ard on Thursday the standard was
blessed by the monks of the Memora
