thorough overhauling Of the securities
held by the state treasurer would dis
close large amount of worthless bonds
and securities. This guess may be
away off. still if so, we would like to see
it proven.
The proposition comes from some
source to divide up this permanent
school fund among the counties Of the
state per capita or other equitable ratio,
TO be held by the county treasurers, and
loaned out by the county commissioners
in accordance with the terms of law
duly made and provided, the money TO
be loaned on real estate within the
county, interest payable annually, etc.
This is the way it is done by the state
of Iowa, and we note statement made
recently that the loss 10 the permanent
school fund of that state had been lnhn-
itesimal. But in any event we are in
favor of a thorough investigation by
disinterested experts of the securities
now held for the states permanent
school fund.

SCHOOL FUND INVESTIGATION.

Among the many ambitions of the
founders of Kansas in their Utopian
dreams CT an ideal state and civiliza-
ton, was n public school system which
should not be dependent upon annual
tax-levies. The purpose was to provide
for and accumulate such vast state
school fund as the interest on which
world practically pay the salaries of all
needed public school teachers. The first
deadly blow 10 the ambitious scheme
was q dicker between some railway
spectators and the legislative politi-
clans whereby several million dollars
worth of lands granted the state by con-
gresS were squandered. The next mis-
take was in the control aud investment
OF the permanent public school fund.
The Pop legislature proposes to inves-
tigaie one or two transactions of this
board wherein it is charged that the
state school funds were invested in
worthless bonds or something of the
kind. The investigation is all right. at
least the order TO investigate is most
commendable step. The trouble with
all legislative investigations, however,
is that it is but the investigation of one
Set Of politicians by another set of poll
ticians in which a whitewash is almost
inevitable. We know personally moth
ing of the facts, nor anything of the
real condition OF the state school fund.

THAT INDIA PLAGUE.

The Chinese believe that the plague Is
a soil-bred or miasmatic disease. In
proof that their theory of its cause is
correct they allege that those animals
are first attacked whose breathing ap-
paratus is nearest the ground; first rats,
poultry, pigs, dogs, goats, sheep, cows,
buffaloes, and finally man, who, being
taller than any of these creatures, long
est escapes infection. This theory can
not be seriously considered; but it Is I'M
doubtedly true that rats are especially
subject to the attack of the plague, car
rying it from house TO house and dying
from it in great numbers. 1t is ques-
ton about which there is dispute
whether the plague does not originate
with rats. The better opinion is that it
does not attack purely herbiverous ami
mails like horses, oxen, sheep and goats.
Heat and cold seem to have no effect
in superinducing or staying the rayages
of plague 1t is said that in the investi-
cations of the celebrated Japanese doe
tor. Kitasato, during the existence of
plague at Hong Kong, in 1894, where
he succeeded in discovering the distinct
i've bacillus of the disease, he also found
bacilli in the soil as well as in the bodies
of victims, possessing like microscopic
attributes but not the same toxic prop
critics.
The most reassuring fact developed
by the history Of the ravages of this
terrible disease is that it may be sue
cessfully combatted by strict sanitary
precautions. Even during periods when
it becomes epidemic its victims are al
most invariably persons who are either
of filthy habits or underfed and pecu-
ilarly exposed. Cleanliness is the best
prevention.
In addition to this horrible plague
is the other calamity, the famine, which
is spreading wider and wider every day.
A half million square miles of territory
is involved, or an area as large as ten
states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York. Eighty-four million people, or
ten million more than in all the United
States. live within the famine districts,
and the London papers say that the
suffering and death are only begin
ming, backed by the somber fact that
under any circumstances the existing
scarcity must grow until the arrival of
the southwest simeon, due in June next.
India has had famines before, one very
distinctive one In 1856, and another in
1869. but nothing like the territory or
the number of people were then involv
ed 10y them compared to that of the
present which, together with the plague,
is sweeping off thousands upon thou
sands every week.
