This Is a most Interesting question. Just what means will bo used to settle It one does not know. Several ways have already been suggested, but no one of them seems to be quit satisfactory. For example. It has been said that a large and altogether adequate public, com mon school fund might be gotten into tho Treasury by a tax upon the gross earnings of all tho railroads within the Stato. No doubt this might ba done And no doubt Democratic states- now covers it over; and, 11 tne Dnos suggested should bo usued to meet the current exp-nes of i hs ommu public schools of the Stat?, it might end in aaotuer period of bankruptcy and disgraceful repudiation.
