Our calcined .onteinporan , the
1'lilllPlphla Inquirer, icialls that
when, In IM'7, lespondlne to a senate
u'solutlon Supeilntondent ot Public In
stiuutlnii Schiiflfer compiled a list of
the school dlstilcts of the state in
which ii less sum of money is raised
and oppiopii.itcil locally than It re
ceded f i om the state foi school pur
poses. Senator Fllnn, now one of the
most vluilent clitics ot the governor's
couise in reference to the state school
appropilatlon. was then oneof the most
determined advocates of u, refoimed
hchool fund apportionment. Heevencon
ti United otit of his own pocket money
for a wider cliculatlon of Dr Schaef
fei's statistics a clicumstancc tending
to show that his pioscnt attitude is
insincere.
This compilation Is published in the
Pennsylvania State Journal tor 1S97:
Part II. pages 2.571 to 2?.S".. It shows
that in very few cases does the total
amount of schcol tax levied for the
(list) let approach the amount received
by slate appropilatlon. In a majority
of casses the iniounts lalscd by the dls
tilcts wcio within one-third of the
amount iccehcd trorc the state, while
many raised only 50 per cent., and even
le.ss than 25 per cent. In some dis
tricts theie weie absolutely no school

appropriation to 5,000,000 a year and
tn 1893 another half million was addsd
for the purchaso of text books, an ad
dition duplicated at each r.ubsenuent
session. No other state In the union
approached this 3tato In its allotment
of schooln funds, anil as Is clearly
shown In Dr. Sohaeffer's report, the Je
suit of Pennsylvania's Indiscriminate

In this matter will stand the test of In
telligent and fair-minded Investiga
tion Although the "Insurgents" contlnuo
their vociferous talking It Is notice

The President Unfairly Criticized.
At it meeting ot the National Anll
Mnb mid Lynch Law association, held
In the Wiley African Methodist Epis
copal church of Springfield, O., recently
some remarks were made rellectlng
upon the president of the United States
which were tinwannnted and Inju
dicious For example, the TteV W. J.
Johnson, pastor of the leading colored
church of rfprlnglleld. utter advocating
the formation In politics of a ncgio
party, held together so ns to ucaulr"
the balance of political power, said:
"President .MeKlnley considered the
tteadncnt ot the rubant- very biutal.
When tho awful outrage In the south
occurred iccently. where a man was
lo'istrd like an ox and his body sold
for souvenirs, Picsldent MeKlnley did
not express any regret. He Is no
doubt u Christian, but he has made a
mistake. This Is going to endanger his
ic-electlon." Tim Ttev. Dr. Hubert, of
Livingston college, followed In an ad
dress In which he declared that he
was "ashamed of President MeKlnley."
The mistake here alleged Is the
ptesident's failure to express regret for
a peeiillaily flagrant and brutal viola
tion of law. Violations of this chariie
t"i pci haps not so cruel, occur at fre
quent Intervals. What good would It
do for the president of the United
States to give peilodical expression to
the regret which ho and every other
lavv-ri.'spectintc cltlzpn feels in conse
quence of these outrages? nxpiesslng
regret would not mend matteis. It
would not restore to life the neKio
who was roasted like nn ox and cut
up Into souvenirs. The ofllelnls of the
state of South Carolina are tho per
sons under whose Jurisdiction this
crime comen iu the first instancf. It
they fall, If the machinery of the
southern states shall be found to be In
adequate by leason of race prejudice
or otherwise to secure to tho coloied
cltlrens of those states the rights and
pilvileges guaranteed to them by tho
Constitution of the United States, then
It will be the president's duty to bilng
this subject to the attention of con
giess for such action as It may deem
necessary and just.
The president has not shown indif
ference on this subject. When he vis
ited the Uooker T. Washington indus
trial Institute nt Tuskogee and there
nddicssed a speech of Indorsement
upon Its woik and alms, he gave the
whole weight of his ollleial position
to the most promising icmedy for
Southern race tioubles yet devised.
When there Is an oppoitunity for fur
ther piactlcal work in behalf of the
negroes of tho South the president will
not be Idle. There Is absolutely no
leason why any friend of justice should
be ashamed of him.
The most earnest Dutch champion
in the Interest of universal peace Is
said to be Mine. Wnslowlcz. It Is dif
ficult to Imagine how a person with
such a name can favor anything but
disorJei.
Tho Corporations and the City.
Discussing the question of franchise
taxation now uppermost In New York,
the Press of Utlca remaiks: " The
great corporations tiro in a goodly
measure to blame for the antagonism
which is felt against them. The dis
position on the part of some of them
studiously to avoid and evade taxation
naturally arouses the enmity of those
unable to follow their example. The
small householder Is unable to escape
the tax collector and he has u right to
grumble that the combinations of mil
lions are not compelled to contribute
their just proportion."
Those words are true and they sug
gest another thought. In our own
community wo hear much complaint
at tho part taken by some corporations
In i Ity affairs. It Is well known that
when councllnien are to be elected the
large v.-sted Interests have a good deal
to do with selecting at least a pot lion
of the nominees They Justify this
activity by the aigument that unless
they luivr special representation their
business interest" are liable to be crip
pled or injured by unfaii : ignmant i
municipal legislation. Undti existing- J
conditions there may be a measuie of I
truth In this contention: but why Is
It that the large corporations are not
wiiie enough to lend the weight of their
imluenee In behalf of tho nomination
und election of fair-minded men, men
above tho corrupt Influence of money,
men tit to have chat go of the legisla
tive Interests of a city of Scranton's
size und qualified to have direction of
a municipality whose annual collec
tions and disbursements aio pretty
close to the million dollar mail;"
Thoro are honorable exceptions, but
In the main the "corporation men" In
councils, so-called, are men of an in
tellectual and moral type whom no
corporation In its senses would trust
lo manage u private business enter
prise on a similar acale They are
men who, It loyal to their Immediate
political sponsors, ato In reference to
other legislative matteis Indifferent or
on tho ninrket. Thus ihey degrade the
level of illy gc.c-i ni-iit and mnko It
only a question of tlma and popular
patience when the corporations which
set them up lu politics will be discred
ited by them and maybo swindled Into
the bargain. Tho individual In any
walk of llfo who deals with a logue
when ho can Just as well deal tvlth an
honest man takes a foolish risk and
eventually will have occasion to regret
It.
It may be argued that the corpora
tions ought to keep hands off councils.
This Is Impracticable advice and wo
aro not suic that It Is wise. The
corporations have a right to watch
city government with a view to their
own Belf-protoctlon, but they have no
right to employ as agents unprincipled
men willing under threats or bribes to
Injuro the general welfare. If they
would co-opcrato with honest cltlzena
irencrnlly and make It a llxed principle
to help to elect no man to any city olllce
whom they consider unworthy of tho
confidence of the business community
they would soon And tho policy from
the practical standpoint u paying one
and they would by so doing neutralize,
tiiuelt t' the prcvnlent discontent at
corporation methods. As heavy tux
lmyeis and lurgely Interested property
owners they should take the lead In
demanding und enforcing honest and
uillclcnt city government.
Heccnt reports from the seat of war
Indicate that Agulualdo's prestige has
departed and that aenernl Luna Is the
lending splilt In the Philippine Insur
leetlon. Tlieie Is a suggestlveness
about tho name of Luna that ought to
make him the Idol of the "antl's."
The- disposition on part ot railroad
ofllelnls to shift responsibility for the
Kxeter disaster bids fair to make u
Just verdict by the coroner'ii Juiy a
dlillfult achievement.
The peace congress does well to put
its main emphasis on international ar
bitration. Once make that popular
and dlsaimament will follow natur
ally The backbone of the Filipino Insur
lection will soften very quickly after
the leaders discover what ofllces they
ate to get under the Ameiicun legltno.

Cleveland's Jest
flbotif Tinplafe,
Washington Letter in the Sun.
prURINa the discussion of the Mc-
I Klnley Tariff bill in lbW Thomas
II I. Hunting, then a representative
Uy in congress fiom Urie county, N.
Y. made a viuorous light against
the pioposed duty of 2 1-5 cents a pound
on tin and tcrne plate. These articles
of general consumption were pioduced
almost exclusively iu Wales and in tho
counties ot England adjoining Wales.
Mr. Bunting was a packer of canned
goods at Hamburg, N. Y., und he said
that the protective duty would compel
eonsumeis of canned goods to pay un ad
dltlonal cent on eveiy can of fiults, veg
etables or meats they bought. Tho house,
uevertheleFs, placed a dutj on tlnplate
and the senate acquiesced in that action.
:o:
In ISM a party of Hrltish journalists,
headed by Sir William Long, of Slief
ileld, visited tills country. In tho party
wore Lasccllcs C'arr, editor of the Car
diff Mall, Sir Morgan Morgan and others.
During their visit to Washington they
called en President Cleveland When ho
discovered that mest of them were from
Wales he faeetlouslv remarked: "J
suppose, gentlemen, that you have como
to tho United States to try to discover
those mythical tlnplate mills which were
to have been established under the tariff
bill adopted by tho last Republican con
gress." The president and his vlsitots,
who weie. naturally in sympathy with
him In tills instance, tegarded the re
mark of Mr. Cleveland ns a particularly
brilliant Joke, and they continued to laugh
over It as long as they stayed in Wash
ington. When Lascelles Carr returned
to hla own country he published n little
hcok In which he e pressed his aston
ishment at the prosperity which ho
found eveiywherci la American manufac
tuilng towns. IIo was partlculaily sur
pilsed that the mechanics of Youngs
town, O., wera ablo to own their houses
hi fee simple and to furnish them with
drjpeiiis and euipets and oven musical
Instruments, such ns pianos, which vvero
f ir beyond tho reach of tho average
IJiitlsh mechanic IIo stated in this
llttl volume that he was astounded nt
those, evidences of tho overthrow of tha
first principles o political economy, but
h admitted that the prosperity existed,
notwithstanding his own theoietical
opinions that a piotectlve policy was
inimical to tho Inteicsts of the working
men. :o-
It Is now nearly eight years since the
duty on tlnplato went into effect and ihe
losults of those eight yeurs of American
energy and enterprise, backed by the
American protective policy, are am pits
lug alike to the advocates and the oppo
nents of that protective policy Iu tha
ihst six months of the industry, from
July 1 to Dec. ?I, ISM, thJ total production
of tin and tcrne plate,tho latter being
used almost exclusively for roofing pur
poses, was 2,530,741 pounds. The first full
year of the manufacture) of tin-covered
plate In thin country icsulted In tho
production of upward ot 42,000.000 pound..
In 1S93 ths product won nearly tripled in
volume, reaching 123,600.000 pounds. From
that time there has been a steady In
creaso until Iu the year ltiDS tha mills of
tho 1'nlted States produced 7.12.200,0
pounds of plate. Tho total product In the
seven and a half jears, up to the Slst of
last December, was 2,2J5,5O.l.'u,0 pounds of
tin and tcrne plate.
- :o.
Instead of Increasing the cost of canned
goods to tho consumer, the duty on tln
plato has had a contrary effect. Tin cans
for packing purposes nro cold today to
packers 25 per cent, lower than In JS91,
and Instead of depending upon the Welsh
product tho packers are enabled to secure
every pound of tin that they need right
from tho mills of the United States. In
other words, tho tariff act of 1(90 has an
fcolutely established a new Industry, giv
ing emplonient to thousands of skilled
mechnnlcs, who llko tho men of Youngs
tawii, who created so profound an Im
pression In tho mind of Mr. Lascelles
Carr ind his associates, are ablo to pos
sess their own homes, to fit them up as
no British worklngman can, and to sup
ply their families with better food thin
any British worklngman can. And this
has hit been done through tho tariff uct
of JS90. commonly known as tho MeKln
ley bill. Not only has Ilia prtco of tin
plate been reduced 25 per cent., but a
similar reduction has resulted lu tliu cost
of roofing tin, to thnt the builder as well
ns the packer Is able to rediico his prlcss
for roollinr to the extent of 25 per cent,

Will you never learn that the Individual
