children of this city were deprived of
education, that the amount of money
available for school purposes had been
shamefully withheld from use, and that
the evident object of the politicians who
control our municipal affairs for the
sole benefit Of plutocrats was to foster
ignorance and child-labo

cation, to the School Trustees, to the
Governor Of the State, to the Members
Of the Legislature, to all those in fact
whose duty it was to inquire into the
matter, with suggestions as to what
should be done and a request that they
would state what they proposed to do
Not one Of them replied. But one month
later, in the face of that document and
of the general cutlery that the disclo-
sures therein made had provoked, the
Mayor voted away large amount of
school money for the purchase of piece
of land on which it was proposed to
erect a paatal building for the Board
of Education; and in reply to the severe
denunciation of his act by the Central
Labor Union he explained to the press
that the Board of Education had Tex
planned to him" that there would be
ample room for all the children of New
York at the next reopening of the
schools. The fact was, however, that
the piece of land for the purchase of
which he had voted away part of the
school funds belonged to his friend and
money-lender-a wealthy politician and
real estate Spectator.
Now, election is at hand, but the con-
dition of the schools is worse than it ever
was. The Mayor casts the responsibility
of his willful Ignorance" upon the
Board of Education, which is an APP
pointed body; the Board casts the respon-
sibility of its criminal neglect upon the
School Trustees, who are not either
elected by the people, and the Trustees
are too busy with the political heelers
Of their respective Wards to cast any
responsibility upon anybody.
A farce it is, we say, but the people
may not laugh at it. The despicable
histrions who are acting it may yet be
swept away this fall from the political
stage which they disgrace by their
antics. Upon this school question alone
the socialist speakers may be able to
create public sentiment strong enough
to unite the millions against the million
aires and their political hrelings.

THE ECONOMIC SITUATION.

We commented in our last upon the
comparative failure Of the cereal crop in
this country, and showed that while
some spectators in foodstuifs might be
benefited by the consequent high prices
of the greatest necessaries of life, the
farmers, AZ producers, would receive no
corresponding advantages, but the
people at large, as consumers, would be
curtailed in their comfort to the extent
at least of the deficiency. Nor is this
all. 1t may be taken as self evident that
reduction in the volume of the crops
must of necessity be followed by
reduction in the volume of certain ma
nufactures and Of trade in general.
From statement just issued by the
Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury De-
partment it appears that the reduction
in the volume of trade has already be-
gun, our exports in August showing II
decrease of nearly four million dollars
and our imports decrease of about the
same amount as compared with the cor
responding month of last year. Again,
some railroads are reporting decrease
of gross receipts, although their tariff
rates have been so advanced as to main
tain their net earnings on the same high
level. Most of the lines, however, are
still showing a progress; but this may
be due in great part to the movement
Of grain produced by the purchases of
spectators, who are in fair way of
cornering our cereals. If such be the
case the present movement is only tenn
porary, and instead of indicating bust
ness activity reflects merely the pres,
sure under which the farmers are dis
posing of their products in order to
meet their obligations to Shylock & Co.
There are, however a number of in
dustries that DO not at present and will
not for some time be sensibly affected
by the short crop. Fer instance, it is
reported from New England that the
shoe factories are all very busy now and
will continue busy until the end of Oc-
tober. A rise in prices has taken place,
in spite of which large orders have been
received for spring goods. OF course,
labor is paid no better and several firms
are threatening 10 change locations in
order to compel their operatives to give
up their unions and submit to lower
rates of wages. The tanners are pros
porous; so are the paper manufacturers;
and in those two industries the process
of capitalistio concentration is rapidly
following its course.
The branches of labor most likely to
be injuriously affected during the COM
ing year are in the first place railroad
building and the great iron industries,
machine shops, &c, connected there
with. The building trades may also re-
ceive a severe shock if further tighten
ing Of the money market-which may
occur at any time-shall compel large
number Of speculative builders to sell
the vast amount of property which they
are now carrying under mortgage. As
already observed, the industries which

A firm Of well.known brokers of this
city say they are apprehending fnan-
cial trouble in London in consequence
of the enormous conversions of private
into corporate properties and the scat
tering of the shares among speculative
holders. Other reasons are also given,
among which the drain of money to
South America and South Africa, and
the pressure on the London money mar
ket attending higher values. 1t may
seem remarkable to the uninitiated that
financial troubles always follow great
business activity and plutocratic pros
perity.

something will drop before the April
term of court is many days older.
1t is the custom of the police force to
raid some of the business blocks about
town occasion lily and arraign the prac-
TIGERS of illicit intercourse IN the NUM-
cipal court, whence the victims Journey
to the workhouse OF pay a fine. The
grand jury seems disposed to 60 step
further than this. Owners of business
blocks and houses who rent rooms out
for immoral purposes are amenable to
the law as we'll as the actual Commuters
OF the crimes, and it is these persons
whom the grand jury is after. 1t would
surprise the general public should it
learn the names of some prominent citi-
zens OF the city who have as tenants
persons whose morals would not bear the
feeble glare OF talIow dip. The pros
pect now seems good for the surprise of
the public. 1t is almost certain that
several owners Of property upon whose
premises the law is most tiagrantly vio-
lated will be made to feel the arm of
the law during the present term of
court.

RAZORS IN THE AIR.
More Trouble Appears in Ziol
Baptist Church.

More Trouble Appears in Zion
Baptist Church.
Zion Baptist church does not cut
much of figure in point Of numbers.
but when it comes right down to action
Zion gets there every time, and in an
unmistakable manner. For some time
past Zion has been in commissions over
some internal disorder, and the GLOBE
Office has been enlisted, on an average,
four times per week by representatives
of one faction OF another of that church,
all bringing statement for the
public eye. Few of these statements
have been alike, but all have been most
expressive. One day Mr.. Davis de-
clares that he is the only true pastor, of
Zion Baptist church, the next day Mr..
Lomock asservates that Davis is pre-
varicator, the next day one of the con-
gregation states that both have strayed
from their pedestals, and then some one
is sure to state that Zion church is not
a Baptist church at all. Last
night however, the trouble
seems to have eliminated in a
particularly demonstrative manner. Mr..
Lomack alleges that he went over to
Zion to conduct his regular prayer meet
ing when, he says, he found some OBJ
position. One member in particular be-
came startlingly aggressive and in-
formed Mr.. LOmack, that reverend gen.
tleman says, that should he enter the
church there would be dead preacher

BEFORE THE GRAND JURY.
Several Owners of Blocks Likely
to Be Indicted.

The ante-room of grand jury's pri-
Vate council room is not grave, but it
is one place outside of a cemetery where
all men-and all women, too-are equal.
Representatives of all classes meet
there on common ground. The digger
from the sewer stands next to the pros
porous business man, and the repre-
sentatives of the scarlet sisterhood touch
elbows with the blue-coated guardians
of the peace, who have frequently
caused them to spend their vacations
at John Vests Single Creek tavern or
House of the Good Shepherd. Yester-
day was no exception to the rule, and
the entrance to the grand jury inquisi-
ton hall was well filled nearly all the
time. There was large. healthy-lOok
ing colored woman, named Harris, on
hand in the morning who wanted to
people indicted for breaking open her
house and taking away her sewing ma
chine. Charles T. Hens, who owns the
Spring Park beer hall out at Keagon's
lake, was there, too, and he went be-
fore the grand jury and gave evidence
against John Eckstrom, who was ar
rested last Sunday on charge of
forgery. License Inspector Ray en-
joyed a confidential seance with the
grand jury in the morning.
Yesterday afternoon there was a
goodly representation of the soiled doves
of the city around the court house, and
several had an audience with the grand
jury. Nearly all the time after the noon
hour. except when Deputy Sheriff
Hyues summoned them one by one to
appear before the august tribunal
within, Chief Bracket, Sergeant Leon
ard, Sergeant Kirkham and several
patrolmen sat around the door of the
criminal court room, told stories,

there, together with that of the women
of restless virtue, suggested that there
was something besides ordinary larceny
cases to come before the grand jury.

was the case last year. 1t is the inten-
ton of the management to have the dia-
mond sodded, and the contract has al
ready been let for the painting of the
front of the grand stand. which will be
painted white, giving neat appearance,
and good background from which to
judge ground balls. The players
already in the city spread the after
moons in the. hand ball court at the club
rooms, and the balance have been tele
graphed to report at DeS Moines April
5. 1t is expected that Capt. Carroll and
Hasry O'Day will arrive in the city in a
day or two. They will leave for Des
Mones with the men who have already
reported. If the weather remains
favorable, the grounds will be in excel
lent shape for the opening exhibition
game with st. Paul. Some improve
ments are being made in the approach
to the private boxes in the grand stand,
and this season, extra precautions will
be taken to reserve section for the
use of ladies and their escorts.

The Dice We're Crooked and the
Joint Was Raided.
"There wern't no seben on 'em," is
the way in which Nichodemis Ed
munds, a railroad portor, described the
dice which had been used to fleece him
in a Third avenue scrap joint yester-
day when explaining the matter to
Clerk Altnow in the municipal court.
Jesse Weathers, the proprietor of the
barber shop at 243 Third avenue south,
was arrested on complaint of Edmunds
as the man who had feeced him. He
was arraigned OH the charge of keeping
a gambling house. He pleaded not
guilty, and was held in 500 bail for
trial this morning. Edmunds claims to
have lost SS7 in the place. Capt. Day
afterwards took patrol wagon to the
house occupied by Weathers and cap
tured lot of gambling apparatus. Eight
DRINKS and two disorderly cases were
before the court yesterday and were
disposed of in the usual manner.

HENNEpIN COUNTY MHDICs.
Lively Times Expected at the An
nual Meeting. a

The Hennepin County Medical So
ciety will hold its annual meeting in a
short time, and already there is some
little talk among members of the fra
ternity in regard to the election of a
president. There is faction in the
society that is not pleased with the adj
miniStration of DR.. Phillips. and there
will be little quiet wire-pulling done,
the result of which may be the election
OF some other man to the position.
Just what the complaint is no one Will
state, but it is generally known that the
dissatisfaction exists mainly among the
younger members of the fraternity.
There are also large number of newly
fledged physicians in tn city that will
join the society and lend their aid to the
other young members. DR.. Phillips
has large following among the older
heads, and it is possible that there may
be lively times at the approaching an
nual meeting.
