About the School Fund.

1t seems to be settled that legal pro
ceedings will be instituted in the Su-
preme Court to test the right of the
Governor under the Constitution to veto
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
tion. and also to appoint United States
Senator. In addition to these proceed
ings it is reasonably certain that legal
measures will be taken in some form to
test the power of the Governor to re-
duce the school appropriation. 1t will
probably be done by the proper officer
Of some school fund applying to the
Court for a mandamus upon the State
Treasurer to pay the full amount of
money appropriate ed by the Legislature
for his district.
The question of tine right of the Gov
ernor to reduce an appropriation to the
schools presents legal issue with COM
plicated aspects. There are three plop-
ositions which may be urged, but only
one of which could be maintained by
the courts The first is that the Cover
nor, in approving part Of the appropria-
tion. legally approved of the whole, be-
cause of his want of power to change
the amount appropriated That. if sus-
tanned, would carry the whole approp-
ration. The second il that the Cover
nor, in vetoing part Of the appropriation
vetoed the whole, because of his inabil-
to veto part and approve part. That
position, il sustained, would prevent
any APPROPRIATION to the schools for two
years, unless the Legislature shall be
reconvened to make new appropria-
tions. The third is that the Governors
action approving part and vetoing part
of the school appropriation was entirely
nugatory, and that the appropriation
became a law by lapse of time.
The distinctive issue 10 be decided in
the legal proceedings to inforce the pay
ment of the full appropriation to the
schools relates to the right Of the Gov
ernor to change the amount Of an appro-
priation made by the Legislature. His
right to veto any specific item in the
general Appropriation bill, whether it
shall be section, paragraph, SEN
tence or even part of sentence, is not
disputed; but no Executive has ever
heretofore assumed the right to change
the amount if specifically appropriated
by the Legislature for any particular
purpose. 1t is very important consti-
tutional question and one that has never
raised, been or even thought of until Gov.
Stone applied the principle to the gen
eral appropriation bill of the last Legis-
lature. He has managed to raise more
constitutional disputes just on the
threshold Of his term than any Cover
nor of the past precipitated during his
entire services. .-Phila Times

HARRISBURG.

1t is said that Gov Stone and Secre
tary of the Commonwealth Greist are
not enjoying the most cordial relations
and all because the governor first ap
proved the McClain bill, permitting the
formation of all kinds of corporations,
and then Withdrew and vetoed it be
cause in transcribing it some legislative
clerk had altered it so as to permit the
chartering of distilling companies.
The bill was prepared at the state de
partment, and Secretary Greist and
Representative McClain, from his OWL
city of Lancaster, introduced it in the
house. The secretary had a pride in
making good showing for his office
in the way of raising revenue and he
estimated that it would bring at least
x40O, 900 per annum into the state treas
ury Consequently he was rejoiced
when the governor approved the bill,
even though it permitted the incorpor-
alton of distilling companies, fact
that seems to have been known before
the governor approved it. His joy was
changed to grief when the governor
withdrew the bill and vetoed it, an ac-
ton on his part that will be contested
in court, as certified copy Of this bill
was secured from the state department
between the time the governor approved
it and his withdrawal of it.
Greist held that there was no occas-
ion for vetoing the bill, because it in
corporated distilling companies and
that under it there was no call on the
governor to grant charter to distill-
ing company. as he could exercise his
discretion and refuse to grant charter
to dlstilling companies and thus render
nugatory the work of the clerk who
altered the bill He pleaded for the
measure as a revenue raiser, but with
out avail.
Representative George Hosack, chair
man of the house ways and means com
mittee, is understood to be back of the
movement to mandamus the secretary
Of the commonwealth to compel him tc
issue charter to company formed
under the McClain act. 1t will be
contended that the bill was regularly
signed and certified copies furnished by
the secretary OF the commonwealth be
fore Gov. Stone discovered the fraudu
lent change and recalled it.
Representative Clinton Rogers Wood
ruff of Philadelphia has advised his
friends that he will institute proceed
ings against Secretary of the Common
wealth Greist to determine whether his
joint resolution proposing an amend.
ment to the Constitution for personal
registration is law, the governors veto
Notwithstanding.

Dewey Starts for Horne.

The cruiser Olympia with Admiral
Dewey on board left Manila on her
holneward journey to the United States
at o'clock p. III. last Saturday. As
she steamed away the Oregon, Balti-
more and Concord fired an admlrals
salute. AT the first shot the band on
the fagship's afterdeck played lively
air, and her whiteclad sailors crowded
the decks and gave tremendous cheer.
AS the Olympia passed the Oregon
The crew of that battleship gave nine
cheers for the Olympians, who respond
ed by throwing their caps so high that
dozens of them were left bobbing in the
wake of the cruiser. Then followed the
noisest half hour known in that harbor
since the battle which linked its name
with that of Dewey.
As the line of guns and bands echoed
through the smoke and the steam
launches shrieked their whistles, the
musicians of the Baltimore played
Home. Sweet Home. her flags signal
ed Good Bye, and those of the Oregon
said Pleasant Voyage" The merchant
vessels in these waters dipped their
flags, the women on the decks of the
vessels of the feet waved handkerchiefs,
and the great black British cruiser
Powerful, which lay the furthest out
saluted the Olympia. The latter's
band then played God save the Queen,
and to this the crew of the Powerful
responded with hearty cheers for the
OLYMPIA. The last music heard from
Admiral Deweys ship was 'Auld Lang
Syne, while the guns from the forts at
Cavite and from the Monterey, on guard
off Paranaque, too far off to be audible,
puffed white clouds of smoke. The
Olympia was disappearing past Core
gidor island when battery before the
walled city spoke Manila's last words Of
farewell.
Admiral Dewey sat on the deck of the
Olympia and received the adieus of his
friends during most of the day. The
launch of Major General Otis was the
first to arrive alongside the cruiser, at
o'clock Saturday morning, and after
ward the admiral landed and called
upon the major general and the United
States PHILIPPINE commissioners.
Admiral Dewey was enthusiastic over
his home going, yet when mention was
made of the welcome to be extended to
him he said he appreciated the friend
ship of his countrymen deeply, but
hoped they would not be too demon
strative. He intends to go directly to
his home at Montpelier, Vt, and live
there. On it being said that people
wanted him to 90 home by way of San
Franci SEQ and across the continent the
admiral replied: IF l was 20 years
younger and mad political ambitions l
would not miss that chance"
Speaking Of the situation Admiral
Dewey said: Il believe we are near
the end. The insurgents are fast going
to pieces. The sending of third com
mission shows that they believe this
commission means business
Captain Walker of the Concord, the
last of the commanders in battle there,
went to the admiral and said Don't
leave me behind" So he was relieved
and goes home on the Olympia.

poor, was the worlds greatest philan-
