"A pam statement OF IdCIS as re-
CARDS to the distribution of the
school fund for Sussex county is
now in order. The Sussex Jour
nal, at Georgetown, appearsto have
two distinct thinkers on this sub
ject for its editorial columns,as the
following taken from its issue of
last week says:
"Judging from the tenor of the run
of people we have met from the several
districts they are not going to indem-
Nifty the State Treasurer against loss in
case he pays the money over to the re-
spective districts entitled. Their req
son for so doing is that no man knows
what the next legislature wound do
N9ut making legal the act 81 the State
'rer in case hesshould pay the
,Ver % me districts since the
legislature might be of the Ad-
dicks tripe. They argue that Leg
islature that blunders once may blum
der again, especially since Addlcks
may be the all-absorbing interest OF
those elected to that body. and surely
they are more than entitled to respect
for their doubt"
This was evidently from the pen
of one editor; but the following
either denotes a change of opinion,
or the thought of the second editor
''There is no doubt that it would be-
an illegal act for the State Treasurer tC
pay the dividends over to the severa
districts of Sussex county, that did moi
raise by taxation or otherwise 500 las
year, but this can be overcome if hi
bOndsmen can be Unidentified agains
loss. This the State Treasurer SHOULD
do as there can be no doubt but tina
the next Legislature would ratify hi
present illegal act"
~ This indicates the manner il
which the question has been han
died by those in charge.
The history of the legislation Of
this subject is pertinent, and is a
follows:
The State Board of Educatio,
had prepared draft of an act to b
presented at the last session of tn
General Assembly. This was pre-
pared by Woodburn Martin, ESQ
and then Secretary of State Jane
H. Hughes, who was also Secretar
of the State Board of Education
This draft was the embodiment {
the best opinion of that Board, an
was thought to be the best NEAR
of solving the vexed question,
how, and in what proportion IL
State school fund should be div
ded.
There were three attorneys a
pointed by the last Legislature, al
Mr.. Hughes was one of that thre
and the only one who had char,
of the bill for the Board of Educ
ton, He appeared before the lie
islature three different times al
fully explained its provisions to t
members. Before completing t
bill Mr.. Hughes wrote to then S
perintendent Wiley, of Suss,
county, asking information as
how many schools there were
the county, and the Superintende
without examining his record
promptly answered (II3) one hu
'lred and thirteen; when, in fac
there are (I53) one hundred al

Louisville Bar Association Takes lnde.

Louisville, KY, March 2.--The
Louisville Bar Association, which
includes every lawyer Of stand
ing in the city, this afternoon
decided to investigate on its own
hook the charges made by Gov
ernor Beckham against Henry $.
Barker, Of the Criminal Court,
and Mr.. r. G. Kinkead, a mem
Der Of the bar.
At the request Of Mr.. kinkead
Judge Barker several days ago
appointed a committee to inves-
tigate the conduct Of the former,
but the bar association consid-
cred this not sufficient and de-
termined to probe the matter to
the bottom.
The meeting was largely at
tended and a great amount of
feeling was expressed against the
action Of the Governor in con-
demning two Of the most able
lawyers in Louisville on the tes-
timony of confessed criminals.
The committee was instructed
to inquire into the validity Of
the reasons which he gave for

verdict convicting Samuel Moser Ct
the charge of murder and fixing his

and three little boys last May ard
then fed. He was arrested in Salt
Lake City within few days and
brought back for trial. Moser was ex.
PEELED from the New Amish church
several years ago, and his defense was
insanity, caused by the prosecutions
of the church. Evidence OF much in
sanity in the Mossr family was the
only thing that saved the defendant
from the gallows. Moser is SO years

o'clock Sunday night the senate re.
mained in continuous session and
worked to clear up the necessary leg.
| islation, which had to reach the pre- ;.
ident for his signature before adj
| journment. The most interesting
feature Of the session was the action
upon the sundry civil appropriation
bill when early in the morning the
senate receded from its amendment
providing for three eXpositions giving
S5,000,000 to st. Louis. $500, 900. to Buff.
falo and $2oO,000 to Charleston, S. G..
Without division the motion of Sena.
tor Allison to recede was agreed TO.
It was the last remaining item in the
bill in disagreement end It meant thar
all danger of an extra session was
over.
The action of the senate on the sun.
dry civil bill was followed by the
senate receding from the Charleston
amendment to the st. Louis exposi.
tion bin which had passed the house
as separate measure. This action
passed the bill appropriating S5,OCO,.
600 for st. Louis. 1t was an interest.
ing occasion. Senator Vest, of Mis-.
souri, made the motion. Though SUI.
fering from i'll health he had re-
mained in the senate all night to bat
tie for this exposition appropriation.
He made AN appeal to the senate to
p. fs he hill now as a simple act of
jus .ce to -. Louis, saying that, with
the utmost Kindness toward Charles
ton, it was not fair TO make st. Louis
suffer because the house would not
make an appropriation for the expo.
sition in South Carolina.
Senator Tillman, who had made a
hard fight for Charleston. made a
speech showing deep feeling. He said
the. legislation which had paved the
way for the st. Louis appropriation
was placed in bill last year as were
the amendments from which the sen.
ate had reccded in the suudry civil
bill. The watch dogs of the house of
representatives had now pounced up-
on this proposition and defeated it,
Congress. he said, had appropriated
Sl1,0Oo,oO0 for expositions and now il
was proposed to give S5,oOO,OO more.
His state, South Carolina, was regard
ed as an outcast, a disinherited dog.
He would leave it to the senate
whether it was just, fair and right to
give to st. Louis S5,0OO,oOo and deny
Charleston a small $25O,OoO.
Mr.. Lodge thought that Charleston
ought to be treated equally with st.
Louis, and he, with Mr.. Depcw was
among the ten senator's who voted
against the motion of Mr.. Vest. Thir-
ty-eight senator's voted for the mo-
tion, which passed the bill.
