New London Academy.

Editor of The Times:
Sir-The writer was a guest at the late
commencement exercises of the venerable
New London Academy the Sth instant,
and was SO profoundly impressed with the
splendid educational work it is doing, that
he bess to present it through your columns
as an object lesson.
Its history is unique and interesting. In
1886 it was chartered as an academy by
the Legislature, with authority to raise
an endowment fund by lottery, and began
its useful career more than a century ago
with real estate value at about $1,000, and
an endowment fund of over $4,000, invested
in stocks and bonds. For three-quarterS
of a century it flourished as the classical
high school for Campbell and Bedford,
making a proud record. It emerged from
the wreck of civil war with its real estate
intact. but its endowment reduced to about
s., GOO, with which it resumed its good work;
but struggled and languished under the
old system, in competition with new
rival in the public free schools, until
Major R.. c. Saunders, then Superintend-
emit of the public schools of Campbell,
seeing that the comsaon primary schools
were inadequate to the necessities and de-
mands for a higher education of country
boys and girls, conceived the happy idea
of consolidation with the public school
system of Campbell and Bedford, as
public high school. Through his en-
thusiastic efforts (but not without oppo-
sition) he obtained an enabling act from
the Legisla ture whereby it was arranged
that Campbell and Bedford should an
nually pay pro rata from their district
school funds a sum equal to the income
and the rental value Of the real estate OF

II CANNOT DIE.

The New York Tribune declares that the
Democratic party constantly reminds those
rko have some familiarity with history
that other parties have gone out Ike a
snuffed candle. II hints that the amazing
conduct of the Democratic party in 1896
gives some ground for the belief that the
same fate may overtake that historic
party. The Tribune never made greater
error in its life. Its views remind US of
an aneedote which the late. Colonel Rufin
used to Tell. A gentleman in Amelia coun-
" bought a horse which fell down as
soon as he mounted It. He took It 10 the
seller and said: This horse is blind "Oh,
no. said the seller. he is not blind; the
only trouble with him is ne can't dis
the Tribune. 1t can't discriminate
between the management of the
Democratic party and the Democratic
party. The party organization has fallen
into bad hands. and if they pursue the
same course that they pursued in 1896. 1t IS
our deliberate opinion that the party will
so to pieces But that does not mean that
Democracy will de. The real Democratic
party is perennial ana everlasting, and
must live as long there are good men,
just men, and men who wish 10 see every
one have an equal opportunity in life. The
Democratic party has existed ever since
civilization existed. and it will continue TO
exist as long as civilization lasts. When its
present management dies the party Will
rise from its own grave. II Will Teconst:-
tute itself: it will place at its head the
genuine Democrats who believe in equal
rights and justice for all; the same justice
for the ridl man that is gwen to the poor
man, and the same justice TO the poor
man that is given to the rich man, and it
will then start forward upon its new ca
reer. and VIII never stop in that new career
until it has headed off Hannais1n, Me
kinleyism, and all of that corruptlng trend
towards Capitalization that is represented
by the Republican party to-day.

REPUBLICANS AND REVENUE.

A Washington correspondent says that
a large and growing surplus in the
United States Treasury receipts will per-
nit the drafting of a strong plank Al
Philadelphia regarding the success of
Republican Treasury administration under
Secretary Gage. He points out that the
revenues of the Government under the
Republican administration have been
largely in excess of the needs of Govern
ment, and that the surplus thus far for
the fiscal year has reached $5S, G53. and
will be close TO $75,ooN,oo0 at the end of
the month.
In one sense this is to the credit of
the Republican administration. Ii is good
business for the Government to raise
sufficient revenue to pay expenses and to
maintain the public credit, but raising
revenue is after all nothing but matter
of taxation. and unnecessary taxation is
certainly not to the credit of any admin
istration. In addition to the high pro-
tective tariff tax which the people of this
country are made TO pay, the war tax
is continued, although the war was ended
TWO Years ago. IiilS country mas ei!-
joyed a period of great prosperity, and
with the war tax still in force for a long
period after the expenses of the war had
ceased, it could not be otherwise than
that the Government should gather in an
immense revenue and that there should
be a surplus in spite OF the fact that the
Expenses OF Government have of late
been largely i'll excess of anything that
Tie country has ever before known.
The Mckinley administration may
boast Of its fine financial showing, but it
will also be held to account for its ex-
travagances. Taxation is contiscation,
and every dollar which the Government
extracts from the people in excess Of
the needs OF Government, economically
administered. is robbery.
