For "THE UNION"
CITY CAMPAIGN LYRIC-1893.

The decree has gone forth, from the South to the
North,
That Ferdie Latrobe's to be Mayor, to be Mayor,
And what we all may determine to say,
The bosses why really don't care, don't care
The bosses why really don't care
For the great B. and 0. with its millions you know
Is coming right into the fight, the fight,
Though they neverpay taxes they have many axes
Which he will then grind all right, all right,
Which he will then grind all right.
And I. Freeman Rasin, with cheek that's amazn',
And Slater and Morrison too,
Are coming up strong, with their heelers along,
And say that they will put him through, put him
through,
And say that they will put him through.
I hear that the "boys" are making much noise,
For the sugars commenced to go round, go round,
But let NE tell you they will look rather blue,
When Latrobe will be showed under ground, I'm
der ground,
When Latrobe shall be showed under ground
You all do remember how in last November
The bosses went into the fight, the fight
They laughed and theyswore, they oft did before,
Yet they were sent up as high as kite, as kite,
They were sent up as high as kite.
I say in my ditty that Baltimore city
Will cast off its lettering chain,
And that very wicked non-partizan ticket
Will now beat the bosses again, again,
Will now beat the bosses again.
So citizens all, come answer the call,
And rescue fair Baltimore's fame
From the ruinous clasp of the rings soaring grasp
That's bringing us all into shame, into shame
That's bringing all into shame.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF IOWA.

RIcHLAND, Iowa. September 81, 1888.
MessrS. Editors Il am a constant reader of
THE UNION and feel like contributing a few lines
and hope they may prove of interest to some one.
l have followed up the articles in regard to your
school book question, and will explain how
avoid such troubles in Iowa. Each and every
pupil has the privilege of purchasing such books,
pens pencils &C., and of paying what he chooses
for them, and also of patronizing any bookseller
that he sees fit. I think it good plan as Iowa,
in her educationa. system, ranks as one of the
best in the Union. She has a permanent school
fund yielding an annual income of per cent,
which is applied to the education of her youth
In addition district and county school taxes are
levied. The public schools are open to all and
free to those between the ages of 5 and 81 years.
Consequently the U. S. official statistics show
less per centase OF individuals who cannot read or
write in Iowa than any other State in the Union.
The annual expenditure for public school pur
poses is upwards of $5,000,0 900. There ii ,037
school houses valued at 50, 227 ,943, and when we
call to mind the fact that the present greatness of
Iowa is all the growth of less than 40 years, we
may well anticipate the future grandeur which
awaits her. The directors and teachers have the
power to change the text books, and mover to my
knowledge has the change been anything but
decided improvement. The books when changed
are often sold as second hand books, or retained
as the owner desires. The cost of books to each
scholar is comparatively small as in families they
are handed down when through with.
Is there way of aboishing nuisance ?
Every one should take such an interest in the
schools as to defend that which is right and con-
denim that which we have had shown is wrong.
Yours, &C., Mrs. C. II. MATTHEWS.

REFORM JONAHS.

One of the most humiliating spectaeles that has
been presented to the voters of the State during
the present canvass is that of the complete somer
set OF the "Reform" Democratic leaders into the
"ring' of the regulars. Their past course and
their present one are Numerically opposite. The
two can only be reconcied-if they can be recon-
eiled at aIl-eitber by believing that they were in
sincere in their assaults upon the corrupt bosses
and managers and made them in the hope of them
selves securing places leaders, that they
have changed their tactics in an effort to acquire
by strategy what they have failed to accomplish
by open attack. In either position they are now
at a disadvantage before the public and the "ring"
is wiping up the dirt of their political floor with
the "Reform" Democratic leaders changed clothes
9ghe bosses and managers, with chuckling delight
are compelling them to do some tough work both
on the hastings and in the party press as proofs
of the sincerity of their repentance. But they
have proof stomachs like the ostrich and they
can stand all they may be required to do.
The Ninevah of Democracy, doomed to destruc-
ton, is now having these modern Jonahs preach
ing the revised faith of the old fathers. They
have gone to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and
swallowed the German whale, but the voters,
whom they trying to feed with their elOquence,
regard their appeals as very "fshy" indeed
They cannot swallow them. The solid substance
of reform has been scraped off and the bones stick.
Common sense people-and they are the best after
all-estimate these re-reformed Jonahs at their
real worth. They see that they have returned
again, German whale and all, into the bosom of
the ''ring" in Democracy and the present state of
that ruling branch of the party is infinitely
than it was before.
The record that they left before their departure,
of the perfect machine, directed by skillful, dis
honest and INSCRIPTIONS bosses, still remains.
They left the people the sad story of how the
bosses, supported by perfectly organized lobby,
made the Democratic party of the State their sub
servient tool and their plant instrument The
corrupt managers and chieftains, with the cata-
Iogue of their crimes, still hanging where
these Jonahs gibbeted them, and there they will
remain to be avoided and Stunned by all honest
voters of every party.
Who will be chief mourners at their burial on
the 9th of November, and will any gourds be there?

SHAMELESS EFFRONTERY OF THE
JOURNAL" IN ITS CONTINUED
APOLOGY FOR HIGH-PRICED
SCHOOL BOOKS.

The exposure which THE UNION has made Of
the intolerable ignorance of the Journal in inclu-
ding part of the present year and part of next
as one of the last four years, has provoked an
other exhibition of the boss-rdden editors unen-
viable reputation as a garber of facts and fasi-
fer of truth.
The figures which the Journal says it procured
from Mr.. Cowles, secretary of the city School
Board giving the discounts that the city received
on the books and stationery, failed to lift it out of
the mire in which it has sunk itself, and it had
not the courtesy to account for the erroneous
figures in its published discounts to which The
UNION called its attention, and which the Journal
said were furnished by Mr.. Cowles on its applica-
ton. Mr.. Cowles has the well deserved reputa-
ton of being correct officer, and the journal
should relieve him of the imputation of having
furnished incorrect figures from which to draw its
apologize discounts for the last four gears
Instead of doing this, however, it tries to mys-
tify its readers by rehashing its misstaements and
regarding well-established facts. The highly
favorable Average discount for the last four gears
which the city received on the books and station
ery-133 per cent on the former and BIZ per cent.
on the called the attention of the School
Board to in an editorial Published before the
meeting it held previous to the opening of the
schools in September. We also said at that time,
Chow much longer Baltimore county is to be de-
prived of this saving, by not inviting proposals,
is the question for our School Commissioners to
determine" Unfortunately for the tax payers, a
majority of the Board has determined it, and that
determination and action is the making of pres
ent of more than 81 900 to J. H. Medairy & Co.
out of the county school fund in the exorbitantly
high prices they receive for the school supplies as
compared with those paid by Baltimore city.
The high discount the city received in 1S79-'SO
so per cent. on books and 60 per cent. on sta
tionery-was the rock against which the Journal
butted out what little brains was left in it made
all its arithmetic wrong, and confused all its ideas
respecting the difference between past present and
future.
The readers of the Journal would never know
of the above enormous discounts" as it alarm
ingly calls it, if THE UNION, in the interest of the
public, had not disclosed it.

HE GOES FOR THE BOSSES. /"

An "Independent Democrat" sends us commu-
nication in which he hits the "Bosses" some regu-
lar Slugger Sullivan blows. Referring to the
Democratic "Boss" he says:
'The one from Howard county put up school
teachers delegation IN part to represent Baltimore
county in the next General Assembly of Mary
land, and in order to have passed a law for re-
distrctng the lower districts to give the "BosSes"
greater power and influence. We have every
reason to believe that DR.. J. S. Baldwin, of the
9th district, was defeated because he had the
moral courage not to make pledges to the Howard
county "Boss" "How fat has this our Caesar
grown What arrogance What presumption
to dictate to the people of Baltimore county who
shall be their representatives! The whole thing
in a nutshell is simply this: The Democrats of
Baltimore county must put the "Bosses" down or
the "Bosses" will soon sink the Democratic party
beneath the wave Of political oblivion.
"The 100 per cent. Howard county "Boss" boasts
of how he defeated DR.. Baldwin. Down with all
"Bosses." They are ga stencil in the nostrils Of
the people,

@-The infamous election frauds of 1875,
which put Latrobe in the Mayors office, made
Gwynn Attorney General and John Lee Carroll
Governor of the State, were chiefly perpetrated
in the Office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of
Baltimore city. Certain men were let into the
Clerks Office on a Saturday night and they were
in there on Sunday and robbed the ballot-boxes
of Independent tickets, put them in the stove,
and substituted Democratic tickets for them. This
same gang are striving again for new lease of
corrupt power, but an indignant people, knowing
the miseries it would entail, will crush them out

s-The outlook for our Republican county
ticket is growing brighter and brighter. Our
candidates getting in good work and things

Hon. j. Morrison Harris and others. The i'm

and at least that many were turned away who
were unable to gain admission. The speech Of

ZEs~ Our candidate for State Sanator, Mr. Thos.
I. Benton, made speech at the Republican meet
ing here on Tuesday and made good impression.
He told the Republicans that if they expected to
win they must WORK. and we wish to impress
this upon the minds of all. Do your duty, fellow
Republicans, and you will feel very proud on the
9TH day of November

Gy~T The registration lists are not as "clean"
this year as they were last. In the districts ad-
jacent to the city it will pay to keep very close
watch on them. We all know how things were
done under the old registration, and we don't pro-
pose to have any more of that kind of business in
Baltimore county. Only people who live in Balti-
more county are entitled to vote in the county
Give us fair deal and there will be no "squeal-
ing" after the 9th of November.

S-The speech of Hon. R. StOckett Mathews,
at the Republican meeting here on Tuesday after
noon, was terrible arraignment of the Democratic
party. No fair-minded man who listened to him
could help but be convinced of the entire falsity
ofthe professions of that party. The leaders are
for 'reform" before the election but after they
snugIy ensconsed in fat offices they snap their
fingers in the faces of the people and boldly
ask, "What are you going to do about it ?" The
people should crush out German and his gang
and we firmly believe they intend to do it on the
9Th of November.
