The death Of OK Congressman and ex
Postmaster General William l.. Wilson,
Of West Virginia. is loss to the coun-
try. lie was prominent in Congress for
several years. As head of the committee
on ways and means, which framed the
tariff bill of 1894, which the senate,
largely under the leadership OF German.
altered in such n shape that Wilson for
a long time refused to accept it and
President Cleveland refused to sign or
veto it, leaving it to become law on
the expiration Of the ten days time
limit, Wilson became we'll known TO the
1T large. Since the end Of Cleye-

time he was-at the head OF the postal
Wilson has held no pollti-

publIcans as well as Democrats will
grieve at his untimely death, for he was
still far from being an old man.

Pay Your Interest.

Call 1t what you will, the cold fact re-
mains that taxpayers Of Missouri are
paying five to elk per cent interest on
nearly four million dollars state school
certificates Of Indebtedness. This school
fund was originally IN government
bonds, and brought a nice interest. The
Democrats then snapped around and
got il into state bonds; then they traded
around again aad landed with nearly
four million dollars Of state Certificates
OF indebtedness. Tbees government
bonds are gone, and To show for them
We have nothing but tho consolation
that we have not only lost the bonds
but have been run into debt that
amount. being now debtor paying in-
terest instead OF a creditor getting in
terest. This rs what the Democratic
state platform calls economic and bus
lness-like' management, and promises
the sane sort OF business in the future.
No Democratic speaker has satisfactorily
explained this school fund iupperly,
Not one OF them comes to the actual
point and faces the naked fact.

The Looting of the School Fund.

With all the twisting and wrlge ling
the Democratic spell cannot ex.
plain away the brazen robbery of the
school fund. They will realize their
embarrassed condition when the day OF
settlement comes, for it will surely
come.
First: The certificates OF indebted.
ness are not part of the bonded debt.
The Democratic platform Of 1900 is au-
thority for this statement.
Second: The Democrats say the
bonded debt will be wiped out by them
in two years.
Third: The constitution provides
that the ten cent levy for sinking fund
and interest on the state bonded debt
shall cease to be collected when the
bonded debt is. extinguished.
Fourth: The Democrats pay the
school fund interest amounting to ESQ,
600 per year, out Of this ten cent levy.
Fifth: When the bonded debt is
wiped out and this ten cent interest
levy ceases tn be collected, where, oh,
where. will the funds be obtained with
which to support the schools OF the
State?
Sixth. II tte Democrats say, on the
other hand, that the certificates OF in
dsbtedness are a part Of the bonded
debt, then the constitution commands
that this debt shall be paid at the rate
OF 5O.OO0 per year and finally it will be
paid of, and the money will he lying
idly in the treasury to the credit OF the
school fund and not drawing a cent Of
interest for the benefit Of the public
OF the State.
The former school fund assets yielded
an income Of over 100000 q year from
United States bonds: The present school
debt does not produce q cent except
from the annual taxes levied upon the
people Of the state.
James s. Rollins left a bequest OF &c.
600 to the state seminary fund. 1t was
invested in United States bonds and |
brought 10 an annual income from in |
terest Of $500. This $1,000 has been
spent but not for the schools. In it's
place certificate Of indebtedness was
issued. and now the taxpayers are called
upon to pay $500 year forever, unless
they hand in $4,000 to replace the gift.
The state owned a tobacco warehouse
1t WAS sold for sl3O. 600; It was invested
10 United States bonda, that brought
INTO the school fund $1,000 annually
rom interest. This $4,000 was spent
BY the present state house ring, and in
is place an l. o. U. was issued, and nov
the taxpayers are called upon to put up
The 5000 annual interest. Iu other
words they are taxed 5000 annually
or selling their own property. II they
had other similar property, they could
rive it away. and save 5000 on interest
account every year.
When the school funds were in bonds
t was on the credit side, and hence an
'sset. Now it is on the debit side, and
consequently it is now a liability.
Take whichever horn OF the dilemma
'ou may. you are forced to the conclus-
on that the school fund matter has
'een greatly mlsmanHged, and It is time

A REGRETABLE ERROR.
The Courier Made the Victim of De.
testabIe Practical Joker.

The Courier regrets exceedingly an
error which appeared in it's Hedrick
news on Monday. The item referred
to was the announcement of double
wedding at the home of James Bur-
naugh, near Hedrick, the names of the
reported contracting parties being pub
lished in full. The Courier is today
in receipt of the following letter from
Mr.. Burnaugh, which explains itself:
Hedrick, Oct. 80, 1900.
Ottumwa Courier:
Sirs:-Please correct the mistake
in the Tuesday Courier In the He'd
rick items is notice of double we'd
ding at the home of James Burnaugh,
OF his daughters Misses Ella and Jes-
sic. The report was false.
James Burnaugh.
Immediately upon receipt of the
above letter, the Courier telephoned
it's correspondent at Hedrick and
learned that the news item in refer
ence to the wedding was given to him,
as he supposed, in absolute good faith
and he had no idea but what it was
true. The Courier will endeayor to
reach the party furnishing this false
news item by legal process
If there is any law in
Iowa covering such offences.
Practical jokes of this nature are not
only contemplate but outrageous, and
the perpetrators deserve the severest
punishment possible. The Courier
greatly regrets that it was victimized
in this matter and hastens to make
the correction.
