the running Of the lighthouses and light
ships of the United States, the mainten-
ance of the buoys, etc, costs over 8,VJO-
90 year. The salaries of lighthouse
keepers alone amounted last year to Si2p-
900. Besides the money spent to run the
lighthouse system, large amounts are
spent yearly in improvements and addl-
tons to the service. There are at pres

came out with rifles Ieveled, and were
told to release the prisoner. As the Gu

prisoner was released, but the Americans

Rodriguez found the man and gave him

At Harrisburg the other day Senator
Billy Mason of Illinois thanked God that

Fecal Journalism,

The recent action on part of the ed-
tor of one of Scranton's scurrilous So
called newspapers in handing a Carbon
dale correspondent over to justice on
account Of an alleged libelous article
forwarded to the paper, should be a
lesson to ambitious writer's who take
pleasure in poking their neighbors in
the columns of scandal-spreading news
papers. Persons who imagine that they
can fire darts from ambush behind the
editorial or alleged news departments
Of an average sensational Sunday paper
are invariably deluded. There is no
one in the business who is less liable
to afford protection" to a writer than
the publisher who invites sCandalOus
contributions. He is always full Of
bravado, in print and out. when no inn
mediate danger threatens, but at the
first shadow of approaching trouble
will yelp like a chastised cur and sac
rifice anybody and everybody rather
than face the music in person.

Anent the School Fund,

our esteemed contemporary, the
Truth, is emphatically in the right ia
its contention that an injustice is done
to other objects Of proper state con-
cern when more than half the common
wealth's revenue is appropriated for
public schools, Pennsylvania gives
fifty per cent. more TO it's schools than
is given for the same purpose by any
other state in the Union and yet does
not have schools to compare with those
in New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, In
diana or Illinois.
The trouble is not that so much
money is devoted to public instruction:
twice as much could be spent To ad-
vantage. The trouble Is in the way Il
is given, When the state goes into Il
community, as it is doing in effect at
this minute in hundreds Of localities
in Pennsylvania, and says To the tax
payers: you needn't bother much to
'ax yourselves TO support schools, wen
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-03-28

support them for you" It stlnes the
one instinct which Is most potent in
bringing out good results-the instinct
Of self-help. People who get their
school funds easily by gift from the
state, spend it easily and carelessly;
they become Indifferent and the schools
soon reflect this i'm the character Of
their instruction. The school which
does the most good is the school kept
up by the self-denial Of it's constit-
uents the school which costs. II is as
true in educational matters as it is in
business that you cannot get something
for nothing.
The gift Of $500, 900 a year in Penn
sylvania from the state revenues to
the school districts is. as the case
stands, less of a benefit than a nin-
drance to the cause of public educa-
tion. 1t may not be popular to say
this. 1t may catch votes to urge the
state to increase rather than to di-
minish the sum of it's mistaken liber-
ality. But truth Is truth, and a time
will come in the administration of the
state government of Pennsylvania, If
ii is not already at hand, when with
out regard to temporary expedienCy Il
stand will have to be taken against
the political ballooning of the school
fund and in favor of putting a larger
share of the burden where it justly be-
longs-upon the shoulders of the people
i'm the districts benefited.

BURNS AND RILEY.

The occult teachings of ThcusOphy
Revive the geniuscs Of other days,
Some modest poet in the future near
May dazzle with true Shakcspcarcan
blaze.
For who, believing i'm the mystic lore
Blavatsky's taught, but soon or late,
Doth not anticipate the glad return
OF Avon's lofty bard reincarnato.
And surely If this occult faith be true,
1t is not difficult for us to see
a genius kindred to the Scottish bard'S
In Whitcomb Riley's pensivc poesy.
The soul Of Burns perchance in Riley S
breast
Chooses to sing again as in the past,
So let us deem the gentle bard Of Ayr
ON Riley hath his mystic mantle cast.
