Under the present system (the salary system) in Lincoln we grant that to.ne county lipe schools do oti casion a great deal of ;rouble; others, however, get along smoothly enough, «o far as the Board is concerned, Some teachers can teach a con my line school, have pupils from word the adjoining counties and not a is said about it; others, sit least I know one, receive about as much for >i0 pupils as those who are so forlnn late as to teach a m>!e or two further the countv line get for 18 0 r »0 pupils! Yes, it causes consider* able friction sometimes, but this friction is caused by personal and not local consideration. Under the average attendance sys ton no such contingency would arise, AYe may be 'toft” in many things, and perhaps we are, but candor com pels ns to admit that our mental is blunted that ' C mmen so we are l.teriv uijible to see the between a pupil from VViJ kes county attending the Linednton .School and one from the same county attending the Hepzibuh Academy. Lincoln Bounty does not pay for hip) cut of its distributed share of the state funds. I can conceive of no earthly difference and the man who can has reduced reasoning to such a fine point that lie could point difference out wit h mathematical precision aiul northwest the side between the west of % hair! The truth of the matter is this: A deep laid plot is being inaugurated to centralize the schools; regardless of distance these certain favored lo¬ calities shall h;iye tfiejr permanent¬ ly located schools to which all the children must either attend or stay at home Jt is a matter of little moment to them whether the chil¬ dren attend or not. Fewer schools— bigger money! is the slogan of these would-be reformers, The class (the poor) for whom thp public school system was intended is cut off from ;tny eartljly precipitation in its bene¬ fits. ifLinoolnton wants to build tip a school let it be done jn a legiti¬ mate way; Jet the village, and town schools prosper if they can but not build them up on the ruins of the country schools; and I here say it, if it is the program to build it up or increase its patronage in any such way, it is doomed to fail and deserves its doom. “Abolish them!” Yes, gentlemen of the Board, we want you to do a little job for us. We see a way by which we get a few more shekels. [Start your “destroying angel.” Don’t ♦‘start at Jerusalem” to preach the doctrine of tearing down, but go out in the “regions round about Jordan.” The people won’t patronize us! Make ’em gentlemen, and if they just won't, why let them keep their children at home. It is a mortal sin for a pupil in another county to at¬ tend any but our (my) school. After you’ve pulverized the rural schools we’ll “civilize’’ the whole Concern. “These be thy Gods, oh Israel?” JI OOSfEK, FFET.

TO BOMBARD NORTHERN PORTS. Bayonne, France, April 27.—Ac¬ cording to a letter just received here srom Madrid, dated from the Spanish capital on consisting Tuesday, a Span¬ ish squadron, three torpedo of four ironclads and boat destroyers, sailed for the United States. It was rumored that the sqadron was to steam direct across the Atlantic and bombard nothern ports of the United States. The port from which this squadron sailid was not mentioned. It was added however, that a sec¬ ond squadron, consisting of four ironclads and two cruisers, was be¬ ing formed at Cadiz. Its destina¬ tion was unknown.
