LANDS OFF THE SCHOOLS!

President Walker deserves the thanks OF the
community for speaking plainly about Mayor
Grace's raid on the schools If there be one
department of the city government when
should be absolutely secure against pohtic"l
dictation il is the Board of Education. ii there
be one department where tenure OF Office should
be respected and promotions rigidly based upon
il and upon character and experience, 1t Is the
public school system. President Walker is not
only q Democrat but member of the same
organization of which the Mayor is leader.
But he has the courage, manlness and patriot
ism to say that politicians, whether Mayors or
Governors or Presidents, must keep their hands
OF the schools.
Now let us see what the Board of Education
has done Notwithstanding President Walkers
plain talk. 1t has carried over the heads of the
eldest and most efficient teachers IN the pnoiic
schools the promotion of Mr. Hardy, the
Mayors candidate, to be principal OF the new
school i'm the Nineteenth Ward. The president
said that he could name twenty vice principals
entitled by tenure of Office and merit to prin-
cipalship before Mr.. Hardy. The majority OF
the Board in response to solicitations and
menaces from the City Hall have voted against
Mr.. Coleman, who had been thirteen years IN
service, and have given the appointment to the
five years candidate. The preference is gwen
10 the Younger and less experienced man
because the Mayor of the City has exerted his
political and official influence strongly in his
behalf. The three ward trustees who nomi-
mated him have openly declared that they did so
bv the urgent request of the Mayor, and two of
them subsequently received appointments from
the City Hail. one as COMMISSIONER Charities
and the other as Dock Commissioner. The
third trustee is u brOthcr-n-law of Mr.. Grim
Minis, a Park Commissioner. Three of the
commissioners who reported from the Com
mttce on Teachers in favor Of Mr.. IIardy's
appointment will go ont of Office at the close
of the year, unless they are reappointcd
This fact may serve to explain their action
But from beginning to end it has been an open
secret that Mayor Grace was determined to
have this young man appointed.
We warn the Mayor that he has entered upon
a pcrilous path. Everybody knows how active
he has been as politician since he returned 10
Office. He has paid frequent visits to Washing
ton he has strengthened his influence in the
city by a series Of personal appointments; and
every department of municipal government has
felt the pressure of his official power excrted
for personal and partisan ends. But our ambi-
tious and restless Mayor would better be
cautious. The people will not tolerate the
prostitution of the public school system to
political ends Let him milk all the other cows
in the municipal stable, If he cannot keep his
hands employed III his own Office. But hands
off the public schools

Wednesday after notice of a reduction Oh Wages
and yesterday they undertook to force the ein-
plOyes who had remained at the mills W
ioin them. One man has been seri-
ouslv injured and Others slightly. Their
success IN extending the strike seems 70 s"'0
made the strikers more determined ana perso-
vering in their demands. They now deci"ro
that they will not only not accept reaucuoh'
but must have an increase IN wages. Ai'c

seems to have been complicated by the emu vi
the recent strike in the smoky city.
The French Socialists are out with pia'-
form. They want the Presidency ana 'ho
Senate of the Republic abolished, and all power
to be centred in the Assembly, which wou'u
dismiss Ministers of State at will. Inc easy
path which this plan opens to dictatorsnip,
and the worst kind of tyranny as exempi'"'u
by the French Revolution, they do not' vi
pretend not to, see. But this demand Is ho'
circumstance to the reform they want III o'"e'
directions. All children, whether legitimate
or illegitimate, are to be equal before the Ia"
and are to be educated and fed at puo'io
expense; disabled workmen are to be sup,
ported by the Government. This is beau''iu'
scheme for taking all responsibility OF pro''u,
ing for offspring or old age from MANHOOD an,
leaving every fellow to have, royaiiy so'u
time while his ability to enjoy himself lasts
Secretary Manning has been obliged to cnech
the zeal of his subordinates Higgins and Chen-
oweth. These worthy disciples OF Reform
having used the offensive partisanship pan
successfully to turn Republicans out OF once
thought it could be worked just MS effectively 10
kcep them from getting in. So Mr.. kellar OF
Ohio. who was found to be Republican aiter
he was summoned to Washington, was IN
formed by Higgins and Chenoweth That ne
could not be appointed; and that II he was
appointed he would be turned out the next uay.
His was n case of @ante- offensive partlsanship.
But it would not do. Higgins and Chenowe'h
had run squarely against the law as they
speedily found out, and Mr.. Manning now pro-
claims that Kellar shall have the place. Cheho-
weth also modifes tie threat of dismissal
Admirers of the Administration will OF course
see in this performance only shining virtue OH
the part of Manning. Everybody else' now
ever, will understand that it is only an effort 10
repair serious political blunder.

THE DEBT STATEMENT AND SILVER

THE DEBT STATEMENT AND SILVER.
Making allowance for the debt of the Pacific
Railroads and the interest thereon, which Sec
rotary Manning now includes rs part OF the
public debt, the actual decrease in the amount
of debt during the past fiscal year has been
$l6,277,7O3 On the first OF April the
decrease in amount of debt had been Sl5, AL
4OG. In these statements the amount OF debt
alone is considered, without regard to the cash
on hand Next comparing the various forms OF
cash held it appears, first that the Government
has added about 8 ~ OOO, 900 to the amount of
gold in the Treasury, but has added over
So, 900, 900 to the amount of gold certificates
outstanding, 80 that there has been an actual
decrease during the fiscal year in the amount OF
gold belonging to the Treasury OF Tl3,43l ,o39
On the other hand. there has been an increase OF
abont $50, 900, 900 I'M the amount of silver
standard dollars and bullion held, against an
increase of about 50, 900, 900 i'll the amount OF
silver certificates outstanding, so that the
Treasury has increased in amount of silver
owned by $2i,73l.6IS This is exclusive OF
the fractional silver. in which there has also
been an Increase of 81 .G3G.l79. This compar-
ison shows that the condition of the Treasury,
with respect to its ability to pay its debts, has
by no means improved during the past year
Its stock of useless silver, which can under no
circumstances be employed in the payment OF
debt without destroying the public credit, has
increased by about the amount of coinage BIT
its supply of gold has decreased more than
81. 600. 900 per month.
Ii is not To be inferred that the statements
cast any dscrcdit upon the new Administration,
or upon its methods of presenting the condition
OF the Treasury On the contrary, 1t is right to
say that the statements now published are III
many essential particulars clearer and more
useful than those published under former
Administrations 1t is also right to say that the
course of Secretary Manning has given reason
To hope that he may have both the intelligence
and the Grmuess 10 avert the dangers arising
from continued coinage of silver. But those
dan gers are near ut hand, and during the past
wear have increased aud the statements show
that nothing has yet been done under the
present Administration to diminish or to remove
them There is only strong hope that the
Secretary may in the future succeed in greatly
reducing the prop ortion of SILVER received, ana
thus in strengthening the gold reserve IN the
Treasury. by adhering firmly to the policy OF
which his course thus far has given indications.

WINGED that the news of their untimely taking
off would be hailed all Ovor the city with
unholy qualification. 1t is all wrong, OF course.
No amount of buster or threatening or appeals
for the murder of women and children can
justify the assassination of the men who are
trying to incite massacre. But the people OF
New-YOrk. or great many OF them, are SUN
unregenerate enough to rejoice over the untimely
end of any one who advocates the blowing up
of ocean steamships or of Houses OF Parliament.
Those who want to use all the resources OF
civilization against others cannot complain II
all those resources are used against them.
Mr.. ODonovan, in his condition Of anxiety,
alarm and distress, sought distraction on
race-course the other day. We feel it our duty
to warn him against such indscretiOns. Racing
is peculiarly an English sport and the Saxon
clement is always out in force when the
thoroughbreds meet. How imprudent it was
for the chief of the dynamiters to expose him.
self among SO many Engishmen! 1t is q we'll
known fact that gangs of bloodthirsty braves
in the pay of the diabolical British Ministry are
watching the streets of New-YOrk and
Brooklyn by day and by night, seeking their
opportunity to waylay ODonovan and Joyce
aud subject them to special, private and
personal dynamite explosion. The big knife
with which Richard Short stabbed Phelan may
have served as protector thus far, but can it
be trusted for evcrY The feeling that this com
munty can afford to part with the dynamlters
and their associates grows stronger every day.
There may be a new Mrs. Dudley at any street
corner. VIII not ODonovan take heed in
timer Why should this county be put to the
expense of trying more avengers The sklr-
mishing fund is running low. Even the servant
girls are becoming histrustful. The dynamiters
must resort to new devices for humbling
England. They could not do better than to
hasten to the Afghan border and stir up Gen.
eral Komaroff to new insults to British pride.
There is no danger that they will ever get back
and our insane asylums will be relieved OF the
imminent danger of overcrowding

THE CHICAGO SrREgT car STRIKE

THE CHICAGO STREET CAR STRIKE
The strike of the Chicago West Side Division
railroad employees began, "a such strikes usually
do, in demand for more pay or less work.
The differences between the strikers and the
company seemed in fair way to settlement
when the discharge by the latter Of some men
who had represented the strikers resulted in a
rene wal of the trouble and all the men went ont
Public opinion generally seems to have been
either favorable to the strikers or passive,
though necessarily a great deal of inconvcn-
fence was caused by the stoppagc of the cars.
The strikers themselves do not appear to have
res0rted to violence to prevent the cars from
being run, but large number of outsiders
quickly thrust themselves forward, and these
people are alleged to have thrown the cars II
the tracks, assaulted drivers and conductors
and deputy sherifls and done their best to con-
vert the strike into riot. Thus the situation
has gone from bad to worse, while the hesita-
ton of the Mayor in dealing with il has of
course encouraged the lawlessly disposed.
1t is said that the police sympathize with the
strikers. Certainly they have done little to
protect the car company. The Mayor alleges
that he has not police enough in the city to
protect the many miles of track. Meanwhile
the disordery and seditious element which is
always aDnormally strong in Chicago appears
to be taking advantage of the opportunity to
make tho trouble more serious. With such
dangerous and intiammable material at hand it
Is clear that feeble and vacillating local gov
eminent may involve the city in grave diff
culties. Already the municipality has failed in
the performance of Its duty, and its head is said
