A departure in the economical admin
istraton OF the public school system is
reported from Washington county, where
the school commissioners have deemed
it cheaper to pay the trolley fare of six
colored children from Funkstown TO
dagerstown and back each day rather
than establish a school tor colored chill
dren in the former town. The school
board calculates that the cost OF main
tanning school at Funkstown would be
about $40 year. while the cost of the
trolley fares amounts to less than SIeo.
The spreading out OF trolley systems in
rural districts may suggesS to other COM
munities solution of the problem OF ex-
tending the advantages OF education to
youth who live in sparsely settled COM
munities. /, is a pity that the same
careful administration of public funds
does not prevail in all quarters of the
state as apparently prevails in Washing
ton county in the department of public
finance says. the Mo,1ing Herald.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt's invitation to
the members OF his Cabinet to remain as
a body to the close OF the term put an
end to the rumors on this subject. In
this gossip was the prediction (the wish
being father to the thought) that Sena-
tors Quay and Penrose would have in
fiuence enough with the new President
TO force Postmaster General Smith into
retirement. In defiance Of such influence
President Mckinley put Mr.. Smith into
his Cabinent. d President Roosevelt
is one OF the men least likely in the
world other to tear or to court it.

MooN's PHAsEs.

To defend the assassin Czolgosz is
probably the most disagreeable task that
could be imposed by the Court upon any
OF its officers. But it is essential that no
human right OF which the wre,ched crea-
ture stands possessed under the law shall
be denied him The attorneys who have
been assigned the duty of defending him
should remember that they are also de-
Tending our civilization.

THE sympathy and prayers of the ma
ton are with the wife of the deceased
President in this moment OF her most Bit
ter bereavement That a frail and deli
cate woman who has recently passed
through critical illness has been able
to withstand the shock OF recent events
may cause surprise among those unia-
miliar with the nature OF womankind,
and hope Tor her continued endurance is
not unmingled with fear that such an
issue may be too much to expect. His
tory, however. is full OF instances where
weak women have displayed the moral
courage OF the strongest men during time
of trial and suffering, and if a kind Provi-
dence vouchsates such strength and con-
tinued life to Mrs. Mckinley thousands
who are tenderly solicitous as to her well
fare will have their grief at the loss of
the dead statesman tempered by rejoic-
ing tor the sparing OF his beloved wife.

THE Cow0ioRe,. VIM, Jennings Bryan's
paper says:
Theodore Roosevelt assumes the
duties OF the presidency under conditions
calculated to call out the best that is in
him. conditions which will make more
ardent his natural desire to fulfill the ex.
pectations of his countrymen. While he
was in perfect accord with Mr.. McKin-
ley in regard to public questions. his
strong individuality will doubtless cause
some uncertainty until his administrative
policies are developed. He enters Office
more free from political obligations than
he could have done had he received
party nomination after long contest.
Mr.. Roosevelt has high conception of
civic virtue and his opponents will proba-
bly, find more to criticize in his doctrine
than in his methods. There viii be no
disposition to PREJUDICE him, but an
earnest wish that the governmental poll
cies for which he and his party stand
may be tested upon their merits.
