THE board of education finds itself
short $18,923, and asks the council to
appropriate $4,000 to the fund and loan
the department $4,000. The loan, it is
said, is to be repaid out of the next ap-
preparation. One of two things appears
certain. Either the council has been
derelict in appropriating enough money
for the schools or too much money ia
being spent by this branch of the city
government. Perhaps the difficulty has
been brought about by extravaganza
where economy could iudiciously be in
troduced. There is grand chance to
cut down expenses in the management
OF the department. The superintend-
ent's work was for long time practi-
cally performed by his deputy; and if
the deputy could fulfil the duties for
part of the time he could fulfil them
straight along. 1t is shameful that our
schools should be closed up for three
months out Of the twelve, whilst heavy
salaried officials draw their pay all the
year round, whether they have anything
to do or not. There is plenty of room
for reform and retrenchment in the
school department of this city.

Estee Gold oyer the Nomination.

A special from New York says that
the nomination of Harrison did not
elicit any enthusiasm worth noting in
that city. In the Fitth-avenue hotel
there was crowd of about 100 in the
corridor in front of the desk, among
them Morris M. Estee of California, who
was permanent chairman of the 1888
convention, which first nominated Har.
rieon.
There was one whoop Of approval, and
that came from young man with a
sporting look. All Republicans in the
crowd pulled long faces and walked
away without saying word. Estee was
eaddest. He objected to being inter-
viewed. "You ought not to ask me to
express an opinion now," said he to a
reporter, "Of course man can't help
feeling sore just after being kicked down
three flights OF stairs. These sores heal,
though, in time, and it is long time
from now to election"
"Will Harrison carry California ?" he
was asked.
"The Republicans ought to carry Cal.
ifornia," was his doubtful and deliber-
ate answer. "Mr. Harrison's adminis-
tration has been a good, conservative
one.'' MIR. Estee asked to be excused
from talking further.
