THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.

The address of Professor Study at the
meeting OF school superintendent on
Thursday, attributes the defeat of the edu-
cational bill in the last Legislature to the
influence of men connected with other than
the state schools. that is the universities
and higher schools supported by the tax
payers. Mr.. Study is in error; the bill
would have been defeated upon its dement's.
1t had merits. but its defects were grave. In
the first place, it involved a largely IN
creased expenditure for higher schools and
it proposed TO create large number of Of
fclals by making the township school trus-
tee a separate official from the township
trustee. and by giving him unusual powers.
There are other defects. but law which

would have made 1t possible to establish a
high school in every township would be a
fine thing for several hundred persons de-
string good salaries as teachers, but a Sc
rious affair for overtaxed property owners.
who should have some consideration. The
proposition to consolidate schools is a wor-
thy one.
AS to state universities and other schools
supported by the state. the feeling prevails
that their graduates should not have pref
erence in the granting of certificates as
teachers. If the graduates of the State
Normal School are given certificates with
cut examination or upon the evidence Of
graduation, those who graduate from other
normal schools, of which there are two or
three, should, upon the certificates of the
faculty, be licensed on the same terms.
The graduate of any one of the nonstate
colleges may be as able a high-school
teacher as one who graduates from school
which could not exist without State aid
The tendency in all the States is to in
crease expenditures. In several of them
expenditures have been increased from so
to 100 per cent. during the past fifteen
years. Because of it's debt Indiana has
escaped the evils of larger expenditure for
many things which are desirable and for
more whose sole purpose is to make places
for favorites at the public expense. This
tendency, under the guise of progress, must
be resisted; consequently when the school
superintendent prepare another bill let
them eliminate all the features which will
largely increase taxation and open it to the
objection of creating a state schoolmas-
ters' trust

The rumor seems to be confirmed that
General Weyler will be court-martialed as
soon as he reaches Spain. The first dis
patch from Madrid said 'impeached.'' but
perhaps that was only general term. AS
Weyler is a soldier any proceeding against
hirn would doubtless be of a military char
acter. Reports differ as to the ground of
the court-martial. One says it will be based
on speech which Weyler made before
leaving Havana, which was disrespectful, if
not disloyal, to the Spanish government,
while another says the charges will en-
brace the squandering of public money to
his own enrichment and the practcing of
barbarities not warranted by Spanish law
Whatever the charge may be, all Ameri-
cans would like to see the butcher get
thorough overhauling.

If he had said that it did not claim as

1t was very poor taste, to say the least,
for ex-Minister Hannis Taylor to publish,
3 magazine article attacking the Cuban
policy and advocating forcible intervention
by the United States. 1t is true Mr.. Taylor
is now private citizen and entitled to have
and express his opinion. but as an ex-diplo-
mat he should have remembered that
something is due to official courtesy. From
another point of view the publication was
indisereet as it is likely to embarrass his
successor at Madrid and the present adj
ministration in its dealing with Spain.

EX-POLlCEMAN ARRESTED.
John RAIDER Charged with Obtaining
Goods Under False Pretenses.

John RAIDER, man who was recently dis
missed from the police force, was arrested
yesterday on charge of being drunk and
obtaining goods by false pretenses. Yester-
day morning he went to the store of Lilly
& Stalnaker and purchased about ten dol
lars worth of hardware, representing that
it was for F. NJ. Snyder & Co. When Mr..
Stalnaker learned of the sale he ascertained
that RAIDER was fraud. One of the clerks
mounted a bicycle and followed RAIDER until
he met Patrolman Leet and RAIDER was
placed under arrest.
