Politicians and uewspapers of the In surgent order will roundly abuse Gov ernor Stone tor making a small cut in the appropriation for the public schools of the State. In fact they are at it already. They are denouncing him for attacking the public school system, and are holding a Quay Legislature responsible for not affording a large revenue, forgetful of the fact that they have been congratulat ing each other for many months that the Legislature was opposed to Quay, and proving it by the fact that it did not elect Quay to the Senate. Sensible men who cannot be misled by the partisan harrangues of the Insurgents will have only praise for the Governor's action. Their sober thought will be that Gov ernor Stone has done exactly right; that he could not have done differently, and that he strikes the keynote of the situa tion when he says: "A State, like an individual, cannot j continue to pay out year by year more money than it receives, and remain in a j solvent condition." The Governor gave ample warning to \ this Legislature, lie said that there was an actual deficit of between 53,000,- 00(1 and 34,000,000 on account of the unpaid appropriations, and he urged upon the Legislature that it should either cut down the appropriations or increase the revenues. It did neither the one thing nor the other. The unfortunate political entanglements engineered by the l'linn bolters and the Democrats played such havoc during the session that nec essary legislation was not passed, and no new revenue bill of any importance was adopted. The Governor has cut wher ever lie could cut, and the onlv place left for him togo was the school fund. The appropriation is for $">,500,000 a year. He has reduced"this amount to 85,000,- 000. That is all. It must be taken into consideration that the State of Pennsylvania is far more liberal in school appropriations than any other State in the I'nion. \ew York does not even begin to touch our figure. Before the new constitution was adopted in 1874 various amounts were appropriated under 81,000,00(1. The constitution placed the minimum sum at 91,000,000. From 1874 to 1887 this sum was religiously appropriated. Then the Legislature raised the amount t'i 81,500,000, where it stood for two years. In 1889 the amount crept up to $2,000,000 and in 1891 up to 83,000.000. In 181).'! the free school book question came up, and the sum of 8500,000 was appropriated for free books. From that )■ car to the present time the entire appropria tion for each year has been 85,500,000. In lopping oil'the $500,000 the 27-1 yr Wm. McDONALD STTCHARLES HOTEL, THOS. J.
