says :

i
THE SCHOOL FUHD.
The most sacred trust in the
hands of our State Government is
the School Fund. In order to sur
round this trust with strong safe-
guardb the framers of our State
Constitution made special provis
ions , which are embraced in a sep
arate article under the bead of ' Ed-
ucatiop. " The flrst bection of this
article reads as follows : "The prin
cipal of all funds arising from the
Bale , or othur disposition pf lands or
Other property granted or entrusted
to { his State for educational or re-
llgioua purposes , shall forever be
preserved inviolate aud vndimln-
ished , and the hjcomo arising there
from shall be faithfully applied to
the specific objects of the original
grant and appropriations. " These
provisions are , It seems to us , ex-
enough not to be misunderstood -
/stood ,
A proper compliance with thes $
provisions should have plaoed our JJ
fcchool fund beyond the reach of
vandals and speculators. Unfor
tunately , the law-makers , who were
In duty bound to frame laws in con
formity with the provisions of the"
Constitution , have enacted laws that
removed every obstacle in the way
of public thletes aud speculators.
To-day the school fund in Nebraska
Is In a most deplorable condition. tl
Not only has the principal been very tldi
materially diminished by theft , oth
erwise known as loans , but even the Vl
Interest on a largo portion of this lew
fund \rtll never be collected. The w
action of the last legislature in- w
authorizing the State Treasurer t ai '
aiet
Invest the school fund in dlshonor- et
ed paperf known as general fund tnw
warrants , has filled the measure o to
legislative and executive iniquity. te
By the operation of this law the ee
United States bonds and lotere < ! t- tr
bearfng securities belonging to the trm
school fund in the State ? Treasury Cim
were sold and the proceeds Invested' m
In these warrants. , The same dls-- ti (
Jx > sIUon-waamadeof all-the other sa
money In the hands of the State atCl
Tre surer to the credit of Up school
fund. This idiotic and disgraceful
operation opened a broad avenue to
warrant fchaviug and speculating ,
for which scarcely a parallel can bo
found in any state of the Union.
When the next legislature con
venes they will [ discover that Ne
braska has no school fund. They
will find several hundred thousand
dollars of unredeemable paper call
ed "general fund warrants" , to.rep-
resent the most sacred trust that
was to have been carefully invested ,
and should be inviolate and undi.
minished.
With this fact before them the
legislature will have a solemn duty
to perform. The very first act of
that body should be an uncondition
al repeal of the law , authorizing
State Treasurers to invest the school
fund in Irredeemable general
fund warrants. Their next
step should be to devise
some means for the ultimate re
demption of the dishonored paper in
which our school fund is now in
vested. They will also have to pass
astringent law for the re-investment
of the school fund in securi
ties that are , in their nature ,
reliable and beyond all reasonable
probability of depreciation. The
school fund is the patrimony _ of a
generous and beuificent govern
ment , for the education of the pres
ent generation , and the millions
that are lo be bom and reared in
this great commonwealth by future
generations. Wo believe the time
has come when further mismanage
ment of this patrimony becomes a
Crime against society. Whatever
disposition is to be made of this pat
rimony shouji } and must bo in ac
cordance with the spirit of our con
stitution and the intent of the donors
who so liberally endowed our edu
cational institutions.
BRADLAUCIIT arrived In New
York on Monday last , fresh from
one more contpmptible failure to
have his blatant demagoguery re

Will our aristocratic contempo
rary tell us what proportion of the
laboring classes of England voted
against Bradlaugh , and how many
of them Ijave the right to vote ? IB
Bradlaugh a dangerous enemy of
the British laboring classes for
teaching them to assort their God-
given birthright to elect their own
rulers.
Does Bradlaugh become thelrdan-
gerous pnemy for exposing and de
nouncing the system that burdens
tbo poor people of Great Britahi
with millions of taxation for the
maintenance of superfluous royalty
and its endless train of pensioners ?
Is Bradlaugh a dangerous dema
gogue for exposing aud denouncing
the shameless profligacy of the
Prince of Wales ?
Is Bradlaugh a dangerous enemy
of the British working-man for his
courageous attempts to enlighten
them upon the causes of their own
degiaded condition , and advocating
universal suffrage as the British
working-man's most effective weap
on for securing equal rights and an
equal distribution of popular repre
sentation.

The House of Bishops of the Pro
testant Episcopal Church has adop
ted a new canon upon divorce ,
which lays down the'law iu a man
ner not to be misunderstood. The
ministers of the church are forbid
den to solemnize inatrimonj in any
case where the divorced wife or hus
band of either party * is'still living ,
the only exceptions being in favor ot
the innocent party , in case of a at
divorce for infidelity to the marriage < *
vow , or of parties previo'utly divorced - m
ced and desiring to be re-united. If
parties under the Lan become mar R
ried by other rites , they are excluded
reef
ded from the benefit of the sacra of
ments , and are virtually excommu ofWi
nicated. This is essentially the po CO
sition taken by the Catholic church. COFi
Practically , the Episcopalians have
held the same ground hitherto , but
authoritative edict has been is CO
sued. The'recent spread of free COCl
love doctrines has made it necessary 10
that : the Bishops should speak plain Sc
and by authority. Now there is hi
danger that they can be misun- sa
stood. They make the marriage tie
inviolable. , ,
