TIE PHILIPPINE TROUBLES. The

pine provinces have visited Aguinaldo,
Offering to him their unconditional al.
leeiance to the Filipino republic" and
declaring that the people are disposed
to give up their lives and property in g
struggle against American domination
over the island. Several of the Filipino
military chiefs have urged Aguinaldo
to fight the Americans.
According to the latest advices, the
American troops have not yet landed
at Iloilo.
Correspondence between the State
Department and consuls show that DO
pledges were made to Aguinaldo of an
independent government for the Phil
ippines.
Senior Agoncillo, who is in Washing
ton as the representative of the Fill
Pine government. has asked to be rec.
ognized by the United States as such
aud to be accorded the same rights SIS

TEE ExPANsIoNIsTs are attempting
to prevent Senators from opposing the
ratification of the Spanish treaty by
pretending to believe that unless thst
treaty be ratified, not only the Spanish
war will be renewed, but, as they ex-
press it, "a fire brand be thrown into
the war camp of the world" As Spain
is utterly impotent, she cannot help
herself, and, being in that condition, of
course no other nation will help her
that is the way even with animals, let
alone men and nations And, so far as
the "war camp of the world" is con-
cerned, if this country had followed the
wise advice of the father" thereof, that
camp might have been deluged with
fire brands without awakening the
slightest emotion from Maine to Texas

For The Ledger.
Where Does The Money Come
From

Mr.. EDIToR:-W Without anv
preliminary remarks, we will
come at once to the matter to
which we wish to call attention.
We understand there is, at this
time, school going on in Lancas-
ter, known as the Teachers In
stItute. We understand also that
the professor, who is the instructor
in that school, is to be paid S15O.-
90 per month for his services.
Now, if these are facts. we wish
ito know where the money to pay
this professor is to come from?
Is it to come out of the public
school fund which was levied,
collected, and set apart for the
education of the children in the
| county between the ages of 6 and
81 years. If so by what authors
ty is the money directed into this
channel for which it was not de-
slgnedl There may be some at
tending the school who will come
within the school age between 6
and 81, but, it is not probable
that a very large per cent. of the
pupils attending will be of that
, class.
Is it not a serious mistake; an
unwarrantable use of the public
funds, to pay one teacher 6 times
as much as they would another
holding first grade certificate,
and in some cases diploma from
a first class College2 We desire,
and we need, aole and Efficient
teachers, but we cannot see the
fairness or the propriety in the
present management OF this mat
ter. We would be glad tos have
these things satisfactorily ex-
planned by some one who knows.
If we were not interested in the
pubic schools, and as free citi
zen and as a taxpayer having a
right and interest in the public
school funds. we would have re-
mained silent. If any who are
between the ages 21 and 70 years
wish to attend school, we think
they ought to pay their own tut
ton, and let the children who
will soon be at the helm of church
and State, have the advantage of
what little public money has been
provided for them.
