"to pay the price asked for dairy butter,

TAXES FOR EDUCATION.

property are unconsvtational. The
Constitution is mandatory upon the
Oomauasioaers ol the several counties to
keep the pubilo schools open for four
consecutive months in caeh and every

county taxes reach tho constitutional

We have beard several complaints
made against President Cleveland, bat
the annexed, from the Washington let
ter of tho Alexandria Gaz?tttt has the
merit of novelty , ho over deficient it
may be in justice to President Cleveland:
An old Democrat, well known through
out the entire country, says he hs had
numerous interviews with the lToei-
dent borore and since his inau.uiation
i of them at the IWdeat's
invitation, bnt that in all of them ho has
never heard him atter the words De num
eracy, .Dewseratie party, wo, or us.
He mys he believes .the President has
been induced by the mugwumps to
think that his personal popularity with
tho people will make his administration
vucceas, irrespective of the support of
his party, and that bo is above his ptr-
Sueh a conclusion as that arrived
at by an intelligent Democrat makes
the President a nun of much lea sagac
ity and common sense than m generally
accorded to him by his bitterest ene
mies. Danvilit Regiiltr, Dtx.
A man of transcendent parts like
Jaunty JBontham could afford to boast.
as he did, of being a man of no party
as well as of ail countries, though he
name at length to occupy the position
of a party loader, but if Mr. Cleveland
possesses tho ability, and Independence
ta mako hi admuisatration a success,
irtespeotive of tho support of his par
ty,' ho is endowed with qualities of a
higher ordor than we had reason to
think. We hopo he may prove himself
equal to tho work.
