The School Per Capita.

The pernicious influence Of politics on
school affairs bids fair to be exemplihed
again the coming school year. Year
before last the State per capita was $3.50,
we believe. Last year being the year
for the election of State official, Stat e
Superintendent Davidson raised the per
capita to $2.7O per pupil. There was
nothing in the financial situation TO JUS
tify this and it was done solely for po-
litical effect as showing what the Re-
publican party was doing tor the school
There was not enough money in the
school fund to pay this amount, but Il
had to be done. and big deficit comes
over to be met this year, thus reducing
the per capita below what il would
otherwise be. The Republicans are not
the only sinners III this respect, as the
last Democratic superintendent did the
same thing ON the eve of election. rails

The per capita for schools is S2.70 for
theGear ending June 80, 1900. IL Is
now supposed that 1t will drop TO $40
for the next year because there Is not

THE CUT AND DRIED CON.

Mckinley Will be the Repub-

And Bryan the Democratic
Nominee.

The Republican National Convention
at Philadelphia will nominate McKin-

standard bearer. This much seems
certain as TO the nominees, busAs to the
platforms of the two parties whilst
each will re-aftirm allegiance TO past
declarations, there is much evidence
that the platforms will not be exactly
the same.
On the money question the Republf-
can platform in 1895 placed stress upon
securing international bimetalism, il is
expected that this year their alignment
will be more strictly to the single gold
standard idea.

blunders OF the Administration have

viii not tell you that the prospects for a
Democrats victory are brighter now
than they even dared TO hope some time
ago. Many are bold enough in their
belief 20 assert positively that Hon. w
j. Bryan will be elected President,
while Others are confident that the
chances For Democratic victory are i'm
finitely better than they were in 1896.
Some time has been spent in testing
the opinion Of Democrats here in regard
to the great change Of political senti.

United States from ocean TO ocean with

Democrats win be victorious in the COM

fact that the administration has made

MINISTER AND EDITOR.

The opinions Of ministers regarding
the experiment which the Reverend Mr..
Sheldon has been conducting in Topeka
showed reflection and reasoning on the
subject and prove the great interest tax
en- in the experiment.
Despite the fact that these opinions
run the gamut from hearty approval 10
severe condemnation, they show sym
pathetic appreciation of the difficulties
Of newspaper making and an unexpect-
ed knowledge Of the function of the
newspaper.
There is no doubt that the project Of
the Reverend Mr. Sheldon has led men
of the cloth the world over to ponder on
and discuss the newspaper in general
and that this reflection and discussion
have brought the conclusion that the
modern newspaper of the first-class has
fewer faults than would appear 20 the
unthinking The critical study which
these men gave the finished product
turned out by Mr.. Sheldon has confirm
ed them ina their conclusions.
Mr.. Sheldon's effort has also caused
newspaper men to note the ideas and de
mand- of the class for which Mr. Shell
don stands.
Broader views on both sides have been
the chief result OF the experiment Of
Mr.. sheldon. L. value should not be

Ex-senator David B. Hill, who Is

am a democrat, has recently been
dealing with the question OF legislation
in the several states. In an article in
the North American Review he makes
some statements which will meet with
the approval OF every wise citizen
of the country. Mr.. Hill sees remedies
as we'll as evils
/. The creation of an intelligent pub
lie sentiment which shall Insist that the
volume of legislation shall be steadily
reduced within reasonable limits.
2. General laws should be enacted
instead of special laws wherever prac
ticable.
3. Biennial elections of the legisla
ture should be substituted for annual
ones.
4. Wherever the evils of overleg isla-
tion exist, constitutional amend ments
should be secured further restricting
the power of legislation.

RIDING AHEAD.

America no longer walks. She lie
riding ahead with speed that knows
NO Stacking. American inventors are
now about to invade France with auto
mobiles that. according to the New
York Herald, promise to be far
superior in speed and endurance to
anything yet produced in Europe.
The automobile that meets all require
ments and does not give out for want
of battery power or water will be run
in the future by kerosene, which can
be procured at any house along any
road. Experience has shown the
necessity of employing a fuel that is
safe, easily obtainable and condensed
in form. One spound of kerosene
equals so pounds of liquefied air, $50
pounds of storage battery and has the
further advantage over the battery OF
being already charged with energy.
A proof that the horseless vehicle OF
the future will be driven by an explo-
sive gas ia furnished by the statistics
of the recent automobile exhibition in
London. Out of one hundred vehi cles
of all classes shown, one was propelled
by electricity, one by steam and nine
ty-eight by explosive engines of the
Damelier Or De Dion types. These
are respectively the accepted German
and French type OF automobile motor,
but they all suffer from vibration sni
for comfort cannot com pare with the
electrically d riven vehicles.
According to cable advices, it has
remained for an American inventor,
John A. Secor, of Brooklyn, to devise
an automobile motor with cylinder
in which explosions occur almost
simultaneously on both sides of the
pi ston-one being of much lighter
pressure than the other, alternately,
but sufficient in strength to take UP
all vibration. This idea Is declared by
automobile experts to be a solution OF
the mechanical difficulties that have
attended the popular Introduction of
the horseless carriage. If so, it will
go long way toward bringing the
automobile into general use. Every
body can keep a carriage and use 1t
with perfect safety.

THE sum OF So, 000,0 900 was donated
to American colleges last year, con.
siderably less than $3.50, 900 of it given
to colleges In the southern states. A
N mber OF the Southern society, y no is
identified with educational interests
commenting on this fact, says: 'Since
there is q Discrimination at all, l am

states. and the average amount that
they received last year In the way of
donations to colleges was about S33,

money that flowed into some other
states. 1t is we'll said that the wealth of
our multimillionsires Is drawn from all
parts of the country, the south con-
t-ibuting its share, and that the
southern colleges ought to get their
share of the good things as they are

PREACHER VERSUS PROFESSOR

The special correspondent Of the
HERALD at Esrlham is evidently a
very timid young man. Alarmed by
the reports that reach him of divorces
and arrests, in which once welded
couples figure, and probably believing
that Professor Summers wild deolar-
alton as to the unhappiness Of married
life Is correct, he has resolved not to
tempt fate" at the marriage altar.
The young man should read up the
status of the question so important to
humanity, put on a bold front, come
to Ell Paso, and wed that sweet girl he
loves and let the HERALD chroni Gle
the fact.
The Rev. Minot J. Savage does not
agree with Professor Sumner of Yale
about the proportion Of unhappy mar
riages. In a sermon in New York Mr..
Savage said that we are accustomed to
hear of the unhappy unions, while the
happy ones are not proclaimed, at least
In the public print.
zone man recently did not behave
himself it is reported and published
all over the world. A million people
did behave themselves; that Is not re-
ported or published; nobody thinks of
making any comment on that fact. 1t
is the exception that ia noted, it is the
commonplace that passes uunOted. So
when you read of divorce, when 1t is
made so much of, the Significance Of
that fact is not that divorces are in
creasing, not that the family life is
threatened, but 1t is SO exceptional
that people are intensely interested In
1t, perhaps keenly stirred by 1t, If it
happens to be divorce In high society:
but the meaning OF it is that the great
majority of people are leading quiet,
orderly, sweet, wholesome lives"
The preacher certainly scores one
against the professor. The proportion
OF happy marriages is probably as
great as it ever was, and more than ten
per cent of married couples are con-
tented in their lot, would not change
their estate and realize TO fair extent
their "idesls." in spite of Professor
Sumner
