C.nnyING Pupils TO SCHOOL.

A number OF our Virginia exchanges
have been criticisirg the superintendent
of Public instruction OF this State, be-
cause they believe he favors spending
school funds for the free transportation
OF pupils from their homes TO the school,
houses. One Of these papers has recently
said that DIR. southall would better make
provision for giving the counties longer
school terms than be Gathering project
TO waste school-money
our information is that DR.. southaii
never proposed that the free transporta-
ton scheme should be adopted In the
state at large. He did at one time s"s-
gest such a plan for a few schools IN
some OF the counties.
The scheme has been tried with scccess
In some OF the Northern ana western
States IL Is said that the school year has
been In consequence heightened consider
ably and the schools improved greatly
To each district is given the right 10
adopt or reject the proposition AND II
has been recognized as the most eihcie"'
"means Of preventing the undue mui'iph-
city of schools in country Districts ana
the consequent dispersion of the scahV
school funds"
We are told that the districts wh'ch
have tried the transportation policy have
found that "t saves money, Increases the
attendance of pupils, and improves the
schools" The Dispatch Is by no means
prepared to say that the transportation
system is suited to the wants and means
OF the people of Virginia. Possibly IL
would do in some sections, but If 1t means
anv additional cost to the taxpayer we
know of very few localities where II
would be popular It was right enough
however. for DR.. Southall to bring the
matter to the attention of the people OF
Virginia. and 1t Is but fair that his posi-
ton should be properly understood. II
may or may not be practicable for us 10
adopt It. though It has been success in
some other States.
We have heard that DR.. Southall first
had his attention called 20 the system by
the Superintendent of SCHOOL, Of one OF
our eastern counties, who desired TO eX-
periment with 1t in one OF the districts OF
his county.

ExOUGU OF HODGsON.

It strikes us that Lieutenant Hodgson
has made very lame explanation OF his
conflicting statements concerning the al
legged "colloquy" said 10 have taken
place ON board the Brooklyn. And yet
there are limitations from Washington
that Admiral Schley has been placed In
n position where it is incumbent upon
him to ask for a court of inquiry
In our opinion, Schley would make
mistake to yield to the wishes of his
enemies. Hodgson Is now utterly dis
credited, and Schley need pay no more
attention to him. He has given two or
three different versions of the so-calle
"colloquy," and should now Geese to veX

"9ORGED- VIRGINIA BONDS.

The negotiation III Boston ana Lynn VI
worthless Virginia State bonds may re-
suit in legislation designed to protect IN
nocent purchasers of these securities
The matter is attracting general attention
I'm official circles.-Richmond Letter IN
Baltimore sun.
The bonds in question were printed by
the Kendall Bank-Note Company, in ac-
cordance with a contract made with the
state Commissioners Of the Sinking Fund,
which contract the commissioners after
wards repudiated, at the behest Of Gene
raj Malone. The Kendall Company held
the state to its contract, printed the
bonds. and shipped them To Richmond;
but the commissioners would not receive
them. The Express Company returned,
or offered to return, them to the Bank
Note Company, but the Bank-Note Com
pany refused to receive them. Our recol-
lection is that they were then sold by the
Express Company. along with a great
deal of other unclaimed freight. Thus
they have gotten into the hands of pri-
vate persons, and from time to time We
hear of their being sold or passed TO un-
suspecting people.
The long and short of the story is
that our State ordered those bonds 60 be
printed and our courts compelled the
State to pay for them. but they were
never used. The Readjusters were then
III power. and they used the bonds of an
other bank-nOte company for the issue
of bonds commonly known as riddle
berger bonds"
We suppose 1t would be impossible Tor
Virginia now to gain possession Of the
bonds in question, but it owes it to itself
and 10 the holders of its securities TO fol-
low up and punish. as far as it Is able
to do so, every person who swindles any
other person by representing that these
bonds are genuine bonds Of the State of
Virginia In all cases where State Of
ncers' names are signed to these bonds
they are forgeries In all other cases,
whoever knowingly passes those unissued
bonds as real bonds is guilty of getting
money upon false pretences.
Unless Virginia takes active steps to
prevent the repetition of these frauds.
our credit may suffer and gross injustice
will be done TO innocent persons, who
cannot be expected to know that bonds
and coupons deliberately and elegantly
printed upon the best Of bond paper and
signed, as if by genuine officers of the
State. are worthless. The present Com
missioners Of our Sinking Fund are very
active and intelligent gentlemen, and We
commend TO their attention the desira-
bility of pursuing these criminals so close
~ as TO make their business a dangerous
one. If the commissioners have not the
means to follow that course. then we
trust the Legislature will provide them
with funds to hunt down and secure the
conviction of the criminals who are en-
gagged in this illegal traffic; traffic
which brings discredit upon Virginia's
name and subjects innocent persons to
losses
1t might be well to publish a standing
reward for The arrest Of any person who
undertakes to utter as genuine any Of
the rejected bonds.
