THE TEXT BOOK APPROPRIATION.
The five million dollars appropria-
tion now being paid by State Treasur-
er Morrison to the several common
school districts of the state upon war-
rants issued by Superintendent of Pub-
lic Instruction Schaeffer are for the
year ending the first Monday of June,
1808. At the last session of the legis-
lature this amount was increased to
$5,500,000. The general impression
seems to have been made by this act
of the general assembly that a portion
of the appropriation for the support of
the common schools was specially set
apart by the legislature for the purpose
of purchasing text books, supplies, ete.
On account of this misunderstanding
frequent inquiries have been received
at the department of public instrue-
tion from school directors and others
interested, asking for information on
the subject. These have all been an-
swered to the effect that no part of the
appropriation was specifically appro-
priated for such purpose. The increas
ed appropriation will not be available
until the close of the current school
year, ending the first Monday of June,
1894, the whole amount of which is to
be paid for the support of the public
schools in the several districts are to
be used as the funds raised in the sev-
eral districts by local taxation for
school purposes. —Harrisburg Patriot.

Silver Compromise Knocked Out.
The scheme to compromise the issue
between full value money and a depre-
ciated currency by adopting a ratio of
20 to 1 has been knocked in the head
by Secretary Carlisle's letter to Sena-
tor Voorhees. The commercial ratio
is at present about 28 to 1; the coinage
ratio is 18 to 1, but so far the govern-
ment has maintained the silver dol-
lars at a par with gold by standing rea-
dy to redeem them at their face value
in gold. They are treated as treasury
notes, and their intrinsic value does
not enter into their currency valuation
any more than does the value of the
paper on which a greenback is printed
enter into its value as money.
The number of silver dollars coined
since 1878 aggregates 419,332,450. The
change of ratio will necessitate the re-
coinage of this vast stock. Secretary
Carlisle estimates that the cost will
amount to $112.5866,321, and moreover
the process will require a long time,
during which period the silver coin-
age at the present ratio will be going
out of circulation, contracting the
amount of currency in the country.
At present the silver dollars received
by the government in payment of pub-
lic dues may be paid out again. Ifa
change of ratio is made the receipts of
silver dollars will constitute just so
much added to the great stock of bull-
fon in the treasury vanits, and new
dollars can be gotten into cireulation
only as fast as the mint can coin them.
An empty tin can always makes
more racket than a fall one.
To evince jealousy and a disposition
to a harmful tongue betrays the brute.
The fellow who is continual and lou-
dest with blabber ina crowd is the one
with least wisdom and the one most
necessary to be watched.

The Great Crank Reservation.
Kansas is so multifariousiy and com-
poundedly crazy, that we look with
suspicion upon assertions which rep-
resent her as manifesting new forms
of madness. She has run the gauntlet
of Bedlam and eaten all the insane
roots of the Alliance. All probabilities
of alienism indicate that Kansas should
now pass through a little interlude of
sanity, and so add the one wanting
touch of novelty to her straightjacket
record. We are reluctant to believe,
SE —i_,i)Ah
though all Populists beyond the helle-
bore cure, have signed a petition to
the Governor of Missouri begging him
to call a convention of the Governors
of the states west of the Mississippi
and south of the Ohio, for the purpose
of “arranging for such trade relations
as may render this section free of de-
pendence upon the eastern section of
the United States in business affairs.”
A despatch from Topeka intimates
that the Populist leaders are talking
political, and not merely commercial,
secession, and quotes a Populist editor
who calls upon his brother cranks to
“rise in defense of homes, wives, and
children, annihilate the wreckers, save
our homes, protect our loved ones,
turn back the tide of despotism.’’ All
of which shows that now is the time
to subscribe. Thus the inmates of the
great crankery called Kansas continue
to seethe. The Secretary of slate sits
in his office full of thoughts that smell
of brimstone and saltpetre and small
coal, and the great Governor, Loraine
Lewelling, reads in the lines of his
horny hands that he may yet be the
boss of a Southwestern republic, a land
of plenty and Populists, where pecks
become bushels by act of the Legisla-
ture and the sun rises in the west, de-
serting the monarchical and monopo-
listic East.
If Governor Stone calls the conven-
tion, we hope he will choose for its
toir, Governor Hector Waite of Col-
orado has a horse bridle to color.
There may be many states that would
be glad to secede from Kansas, but the
desire of Kansas to secede cannot be
gratified. The United States needs
Kansas for a Crank Reservation.—N,

Prof. Goldwin Smith, in an article
in the “Nineteenth Century,” has the
following in reference to Mr. Cleve-
land :
Mr. Cleveland is the most powerful
president since Lincoln.
I have spoken of Mr. Cleveland's ex-
ceptional power. There seems to be a
personal interest about him, such ns
there has not been about any of his
predecessors since Lincoln. All his
doings and sayings, however trifling,
are recorded with the minuteness of a
court journal. The sentiment extends
to his family, and one is almost remin-
ded of the feeling toward royal fami-
lies in monarchical countries. Minia-
ture likenesses of the baby Ruth,
Cleveland's little daughter, were be-
ing sold in the streets of Washington.
The nation wants reform. It
that of late it has been going astray.
It desires to be led back into the right
path, and believing Mr. Cleveland to
be strong and patriotic, it is disposed
to give him a free band.

The Senate Safe on Silver.
Senator Quay, who is one of the
most careful calculators in the Senate,
now says that the unconditional repeal
of the part of the Sherman silver
law requiring the purchase of silver,
will be passed by the Senate. Senator
Quay expects a hard battle in the Sen-
ate and some delay, but he is now en-
tirely confident that repeal will pass
without any condition for free silver
coinage on any basis,
Mr. Quay will stand squarely by the
President for a sound financial poliey,
and leave party issues to be met when
the money issue is settled.

The Harrisburg Patriot has been ex-
posing the police force of that town
for taking illegal fees. The entire force
has been obliged to resign in conse
quence, and likely will be made to dis
gorge the boodle, which would be
right. It is the duty of a public jour-
nal to wateh the local government and
expose the wrongdoing of officials
There are other localities where local
officers violate the law and their oaths
and frequently have been hauled up
before court fort it and fined, removed
and imprisoned.

Hard times and low wages, says the
Philad. Press, are made the excuse for
laziness by hosts of tramps, like those
who refuse to work in the Northwest,
The like kind are in our streets, where
the paving contracts now running will
give any man a job and wages who
chooses to work for it. There is abso-
lutely no excuse for giving a penny to
any beggar.

A strange mania for self-destruction
is seizing many victims almost daily
in both London and Paris and every
issue of the papers contains columns
about this sudden epidemic. The pe-
caliar feature of the craze is that most
of the victims are men and women
under 30, who end their lives without
any discoverable causes of the ordina-
ry sort. Several boys of from 15 to 18,
happily situated within their own fa-
milies without any signs of desponden-
cy destroyed themselves last week,

Tue mex in Colorado and elsewhere,
says the Altoona 7ribune, Rep., who
are hanging President Cleveland in ei-
flgy were all his supporters last No-
vember, either directly or indirectly,
and yet there has been no change in
his views on financial questions. Be-
fore his nomination he boldly declared
himself opposed to free coinage and
that fact contributed powerfully to his
election. Possibly, the silver advo-
cates imagined they could bulldoze
Mr. Cleveland into supporting their
wild schemes, but we imagine they
are mistaken in their man.

There is great concern in some quar-
ters for the interests of the silver
kings, who are more than thrice mil-
lionaires, and they can take care of
themselves, The farmer and the la
borer need caring for,
The farmers are suffering ;
The laboring men are suffering ;
And the silver kings are on top of
the pile reveling in luxury.
This as plain as the REPORTER can
state the case,

Too Wretched,
Bome of the board walks in town are
wretched even where our respected bo-
ro officials pass over. Our boro gov-
loose at one end and too tight at the
other. By a little less fussiness and
more practical ideas of duty things
would move with every cog right. We
again put in a plea for unifornx action
on the matter of board walks and ‘no
discrimination on account of race, co-
for or previous condition of servitude.”
The REporTER has done a heap for
the interests and upbuilding of the
town and win for it a reputation, and
naturally feels like having it go right
along in the same groove.
