MATT CARPENTER is not only good
lawyer but q shrewd politician. He put up
a neat little job, at Washington last win
ter, but it did not work well. After his
defeat for the U. S. Senatorship, in his
State, he attempted to get Congress to in
crease the salary Of the vacant U. S.
Judgeship for one of the Districts in Wis
consin, which Howe was willing to
accept, provided the pay would have been
consideration.
The game was for Howe to resign his
seat in the Senate provided the salary jot
was put through, and the Governor wal
to appoint Carpenter in his place. Bu
the bill did not pass.
Now Carpenter is at another little trick
to regain his seat in the Senate.
This time, he is to get Cameron tackst
10 the Republican ticket for Vice Presi
dent and upon his resignation Of the Sen
atorship, in this event, the willy Matt is tt

States Senate.
If he is not convicted Of completely ii

IT is asserted by some Of the papers

The Baltimore Sun says: 1t is said that
Massachusetts, paid less than five hundred
dollars for the conveyance Of Vics-Presi-
dent Wilson's body from Washington, this
amount covering the entire expenditures
of the funeral committee going and re-
turning. The Philadelphians seem to be
puzzling their brains over the question
why it cost Philadelphia nearly $1,000 to
haye the body lie in state for few hours
in that city on its way to New York. In
this "ring-ruled" city Of Baltimore the es-
cort by an imposing procession and resting
the remains for some time in the rotunda
of the city hall, with the necessary dining
of those attending the transfer to Boston,
did not cost the municipality anything

THE SPANISH WAR CLOUD.


The Spanish war cloud has not bursted
yet. 1t is thought by many who under
stand the treaty relations between the two
countries, that certain parts therein have
not been 50 strictly observed by the Span
ish Government as they might have been.
While they have much against us.
The Spaniards are quick, impulsive
people, irrationally jealous Of their country
and lis institutions; as quick in the aggres-
sive a. they are vigilant in the defensive.
Although apparently 30, the relations be-
tween the United States and Spain are not as
amicable as they are bstween this and
Other countries with whom we are directly
interested in International relations.

tion Of the extension Of belligerent rights

been treasured in the Spanish mind as q
violation of neutrality laws, and built the
powder magazine that but awaits the torch

Cuba, is aAsily interpreted Its pur-
po.s xaa nsrelyts sain tAak approsal,

ments had given their approval Of, and
which he could twist into one Of the finest
excuses pssaible to the people for his &C

The note has not met with the favor
that had been anticipated by the Presi'
dent and his Council in this plot. Ger

ing can be accomplished by it, no interest
served and refused any Intervention or to
sanction any. This is all the public has
been able to obtain thus far. @
It is we'll known that the views OF the
other five Governments, addressed upon
this subject, have been sent to Washington,
but have been carefully withheld from the
part of the foreign correspondence sub
mi;ted to Congress after it was demanded
by special committee. 1t is with Con-
gress to demand that the excluded por'
tions be furnished. There is no doubt thai
there is an object for Withholding it, and
the object is neither an honorable Of
reasonable one, but to serve the President
in some underhanded scheme.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION's
DILEAMA.

In the local columns of the HERALD
yesterday morning appeared the complaints
Of a number of citizens of Wilmington,
which, to one who did not understand the
exact situation, would reflect harshly
upon the Board Of Education and the pub
lie school system Of Wilmington. 1t is
very discouraging to a citizen to pay a
school tax and then not obtain admission
for his children to the schools he is taxed
to support, but the explanations which
have been made by prominent member
of the Board of Education are sufficient to
clear up the cleud Of mystery which these
communications would lead one to sup
pose surrounded the management Of the
different schools. The plea can easily be
entered that the accommodations are
not sufficient to make room for the large
number applying for admission. And
placing the matter in any light that you
can, it offers tho Board of Education under
an embarrassment as annoying to them as
the situation is annoying and discouraging
to the applicant. To be taxed for an object
and then not to enjoy any Of the privileges
arising thersfrom, is well calculated to
create complaint, but it is wrong to make
those the subject Of that complaint, t,who do
not hold the power of remedy in their
hands.
When the schools are filled it is not pre-
sumable that preferences will be
used by the management, and a
few turned out to admit preferred ones.
We are glad that such does not exist, for
the unfairness would only be equalled by
the dishonesty Of the motive that prompted
lit.
The only remedy that could be made
would be to increase the school facilities.
This would necessitate the increase Of school
buildings, which would bring in its wake
a further piling up Of expenses, which The
city cannot afford, and knowing this thu
Board of Education and Council do no
feel justified in taking step which woult
lead to much greater dissatisfaction thai
that which is felt by few who have bee'
disappointed in not getting their childrel
scholarship in the public schools.
| All the complaints that have beel
made are from people living in the mos
thickly settled portion Of the city, whsr
the number Of children is greater tina
upon the outskirts, consequently the place
are early filled, and in the remote section
of Wilmington, the buildings have recent
been erected, are larger and with fewt
applications for entrance than those mol
centrally located. This is the reason th'
the complaints affect only those schoo
: which are in the down town districts.
oI At present there seems no remedy, az
