II is benevolent rsttlesnake that
carries his venom in one fang and the
antidote TO his poison in the other.
The State Capital yesterday published
the full text OF the school law and
heads the same column with its own
commentary on the statute The pal
psble perversions OF not only the
truth, but the plain tuxt OF the bill
are amazing. The Capital says, among
other things, that the bill will close
no both the white and black schools,
and In the same breath that the colored
schools will be supported only by sepa-
rate taxation OF blacks Nineteenths OF
al the money raised 70 educate the
eoored children is contributed by the
white tax payer and will SO continue
un Ter the present law the Capital,
u toe contrary, notwithstanding. 1t
say that IL will be felony for negro
TO atteni white school or vice versa,
when the law II prints says plainly
that civil actions OF mandamus against
the officials or injunction against the
offending person are the only RENE
dies. But why waste time denying
false statements that the law itself
plainly refutes? Let the sore spots
heal without salve

When An old breschy ram butts his
way through hole in the hedge the
whole hock, rams, lambs. ewes and
bell wethers follow on his track, re-
gardless of where II leads. The day
after the Legislature adjourned the
State Capital altered its policy Of soft
soap and blsfnsy ard returned 10 its
more congenisl occupation Of villify-
ing It's opponents lite long bottled-up
venom had TO find vent in more or less
exaggeration and il proceeded 70
wildly declare that the Fourth legis-
lature bad appropriated siOo. 600 more
than It's predecessor. At the time the
statement was made It was necessarily
matter Of pure speculation and guess
work. as neither the appropriation bill
nor any other reliable data was &C
cessible to the Capital or anyone else.
The Capital did not take itself
seriously In the matter and 1t must
have been astonished as we'll as
amazed to see with what sublime Gnd
unquestioning faith and simplicity it's
Republican conterees accepted those
Munchsusen statements ss absolute

The Times-J ournal. as solemn as an
owl, repeated the Capitals absurd facts
and figures, without credit however,
aud after scoring the Legislature for
it's extravAgance 10 both she appro-
priation and the fee and salary bill,
stupidity goes on 10 say in almost the
same paragraph I'VE have not seen
either the appropriation or fee and
salary bill, as they are not yet accessi-
BILE TO the public" The saltwater
Gazette and other small fry have taken
up the cuckoo song until il has ceased
TO be funny and grows monotonous
and stupid TUX LEADER has repeat
edly demonstrated by the actual 6g-
ures that this is lie out of whole
cloth, and while it knows that, "Al.
though you bury fool in the mortar,
get will,not his fooishness depart from
him, yet it will once more proceed 10
demolish these eleven men from Buck
ram The entire appropriations OF the
Third legislature as shown in the stat
utes OF 1898, are sl7s, ,sS4 the entire
appropriation OF the Fourth Legislature
as shown in the laws Of 1897, in the
Office OF the territorial treasurer, is
$3.50, 3e2. The only thing that throws
any doubt on the economy OF the
Fourth Legislature is the fact that the
Third stole only 500, 579 more than was
necessary for governmental expenses.
II the RApubliean press is honest let
them publish details OF facts and fig
ures, and either prove what they SC
unblushIngly assert, or else shut up

THE Crete war is developing some
queer things. For the last two or
three years the whole OF Europe ap-
parently stood sghast at the alleged
murder and indiscriminate slaughter
OF Armenian Christians by the Turks,
aud for more than syesr England,
Germany, Russia and France have
practically maintained blockade
threatening to dismember the Turkish
empire IL IL did not put stop 70 these
outrsges. and now since little Greece
uufurled the banner in defense Of these
Christians in Crete and told Turaey
that she had TO draw In her horns from
this island, these same European
powers have sent their great feets OF
war vessels into CreteAn waters to de-
mRnd the withdrawal OF the Cretean
military forces and reinstate Ottoman
supremacy. Little Greece, however,
stands firm and refuses TO obey, and in
her position she has the kreat and un-
divided sympathy Of Christendom

The effete east has added TO it
luster by robbng the church Of its
decorations at the funeral OF Mrs.
Beecher. No sooner was the funeral
service closed than the disorderly
crowds rushed in and stripped the
church Of everything connected with
the funeral that they could lay their
hands on. II had been previously an
nounced that the floral tributes which
had been contributed by friends were
TO be devoted TO the city hospitals.
But that made no difference TO the

Another row in which a revolver
played conspicuous part occurred
near the B & O. shops, shortly after
six o'clock last Friday evening.
Three boys who sell apples, etc., at the
trains and live on High street, were
making their way home, when the
oldest, Elmer Wild, abused the young
er of his companions, one the Welty
brothers, who called to his assistance
the other. When "Boney" Welty,
the boy with the revolver, saw how
his brother was being treated, he drew
his gun and told Wild he was going
to shoot him. Wild turned his back
to him and received the bullet near
the shoulder. producing a painful but
not serious injury. He made his way
to physicians Office and had the
wound dressed, but the ball could not
be located. Officers captured the
youthful criminal late that night at
his home and he confessed to the
shooting. He was placed in Jail and
told the officers where he had hid the
revolver which was recovered.
