All efforts to secure State appro-
lpriatlon for the public schools have
thus far failed. The only form in
which such bill has passed the
lower house has been to provide
p 1itional county tax. Some o. ne ~
representatives of richer counties
are unwilling that their counties
should pay toward the support Of
the schools Of o her counties. The
idea seems to &preyail that counties
are distinct and separate in interest
and responsibility, The old South
Carolina doctrine is lost sighs Of,
that the State is the aoyereign. A
more legitimate argument against
such an appropriation is the just fear
that it will be misspent.
Under present conditions there are
aerious obstacles to the policy of
State aid to weak schools. This
policy has been partially entered
upon in tha,Act OF 1899 to distribute
State dispensary profits fret to bring
up deficient schools to a minimum
three months term, or $75 fund.
with deficiencies of the preceding
year as basic dispensary money has
sheen for four years annually appor-
,tioned to bring up the schools to this
minimum session, yet the foregoing
statistics show that the law has failed
to accomplish it's purpose. The law
does not require it's trustees to ap
ply the money to the schools that
need it.. = :.
In my report Of 1890 called at
tention to the need Of safeguards
against the unnecessary multiplying
of schools to be thus aided.
The constitutional provision that
each county board should lay off its
county into convenient school dis
tricts of not less than nine nor more
than forty nine square miles has
been carried out in very few counties.
Its spirit and purpose, though not its
letter, was that each district should
support but one school for the white
and one for the negroes, each to be
centrally located, In some counties
the districts are still townships, 30
large that they must support several

VOTE OF THE NEGROES.
IT IS NECESSARY TO REPUBLICANS In
& SEVERAL STATES.
Shaking their Allegiance Possibilities
Of the "Lily White" Movement.
Washington Post.

washington fOst.
At the North, az. we'll as at the
South, the black people still cling to
the Republican, party with singular
tenaoity. They vote the Republican
ticket for local, State and national
candidates, always almost unani
mously. This Is practically undie-
puted.
The recent concerted effort OF the
Democrats to shake the negro faith
in Republican ipfallibility causes a
good deal of speculation as to what
effect the total elimination Of the
negro vote would have upon election
results, especially in the Republican
strongholds of the North. Upon in
sufficient or misleading information
severa. writer's have recently declared
that but for the negro vote the Re.
publicans would always be in q
minority in Congress and would have
lost the Presidency at every election
since 1872.
THE NEGRO VOTE.
Iu the following table are included
all the Republican States at the
North having any considerable ne
gro population, and also certain bor-
der States now held by the Repu5li-
cans, or which are considered some.
times doubtful, in which there is a
heavy negro vote. Indian Territory
and Oklahoma ale set down because
there is some probability that they
will be admitted as States before the
close Of this Congress. The total
negro population Of each State, by
the. census of 1900, is stated, and all
colored males 81 years of age and
over, or voters, IA shown by the same

descent are included:

Animal Worship Among the Hebrews
The Old Testament records show,
Notwithstanding the various reyisions
through which these venerable books
have passed, many indications of ami
NAL worship among the Israelites,
which must have lasted for ages be-
fore the prohibition inculcated in the
second line of the Decalogue was for
mulated. AT comparatively late date
Jehovah was worshiped under the
popular symbol of bull, while the
twelve oxen upholding the LAYER in
Solomon's temple, as well as the horns
adjoining the altar, We're drawn from
the prevalent bull worship"
Modern research has also proved that
the cherubim We're represented in the
form of winged bulls. NJ. Lenormant
in his famous book on the Beginnings
of History" says that during the time
of the kings and prophets most as
suredly the cherubim, as there describ-
ed, are animals

New York sherifs.

The reason why the sheriff of New
York cannot be elected to two success
sive terms is this: 1t is the sheriffs
duty to carry out the process of courts
against official delinquents during trial
and after conviction. Should sheriff
endeavor forcibly to hold over for a
second time after having been defeated
for reelection he would be the instru-
ment of the courts process against
himself, paradoxical position which
the law avoids by making him ineligi-

On one occasion Bishop Selwyn was
going down the river Waikato with a
Maori when the latter, who was very
lazy, left off padding the canoe, at the
same time muttering that if Selwyn
We're not bishop he would well, go
for him" In moment the bishop told
the man to turn the canoe ashore,
where, stripping himself of everything
episcopal, he said, pointing to his
robes, etc: THE bishop lies there; the
man is here. 1 am quite ready; come
