MISS INWRIGHTs SHARP LETTER.

To the Editor of the Jersey CITY Netos:-
Miss Maggie N. Inwright. iu a letter
addressed TO John NJ. Jones, Esq, Chair
man of the Committee on Teachers, etc.,
of the Board of Education of Jersey City,
bitterly complains against some zone for
having postponed her appointment rs a
teacher in our public schools. In her
communication she says she graduated
from the High School in the year 1887,
and has repeatedly applied, in vain. for
al. appointment AS q teacher. and winds
up her mastery political epistle with the
remarkable statement, "Had | the in
dorsement of sone political leader, |
would ave secured O position long ago"
AS Miss Inwrlght was app inted at last
Thursday evenings meeting of the Beard
of Education, she has evidently secured
the necessary endorsement of some poll
tical LEADER But permit me to refute
Miss Inwright's statement The publica-
tion of her communication is only another
ruse OF the artful dodgers that imp
the partisan Republican majority in the
Board of Education to divert attention
from their abuse of their power and en-
deavor to reflect ignominy on the late
Democratic majority of hat body
The true and only reason Miss In
wright was not appointed "a teacher was
because she was the victim OF a physical
defect that would seriously affect the dis
~ciuline in her class should she have been
appointed. In other words she was deaf
-or. at least, SO the Board always un-
derstood-and any fair minded citizen
will give the various Boards of Education
of this city since the year 1887, credit for
trying to maintain the high standard of
excellence our public schools are known
to possess, by only appointing substitute

| drive it out of existence? If SO, their
| course towards it will be strangely
| different from that which they have
| pursued towards the Pennsylvania
Railroad. 1t has been the set policy
of the Republican party in this State,
in New York, in Pennsylvania, and
everywhere to further the consolida-
| ton of railway lines, the building up
of great systems. This policy has
been defended on high economic prin-
ciples-and very rightly. Why, then,
must we assume that the party will
take up an absolutely reverse position
in the case of the Reading corpora
ton? Does the clash of corporate in
terests make so vast a difference in
partisan politics? Perhaps the
Republican party may yet de-
fine before election day what its
position is towards Reading. Per-
haps Mr.. Kean will tell the people
just what he proposes to do. Will he
fight the Combination as Governor
Albeit and Attorney General Stock
ton are now absolutely doing? Will
he favor it2 Will he ignore it? Let
him stop abusing the Democracy in a
vague way and tell us just what he
proposes himself.
1t is plain to any reasonable man
that this whole matter must be set
tied by the next Legislature. 1t is
not really to be expected that the
Combination will dissolve In all rea-
son and common sense, it is not to be
desired that it should. We have had
too much of bankrupt roads, cut
throat rate wars, poverty stricken
management and bad service. The
Reading consolidation, kept within
such fair limits as perhaps q Board OF
State Railway Commissioners might
impose, is sure to be a good thing for
the State and its people in the long
run. To do the railways justice, and
at the same time conserve the interests
of the people, we believe Democratic
hands are the safest to which it can
be entrusted. The Republican party
has connections and affiliations
which make it impossible for
it to handle this matter in a
spirit of justice or fair play. The
campaign which it has so far
waged against the Democracy for its
movement towards licensing this Com
bination, is more than suspected of
being inspired by another great rail-
way consolidation-one much greater
and which from time to time has in
fringed far more upon the rights Of
the people than the Reading has ever
dreamed of doing.
What the people need this year is a
Legislature of a high order of intelli-
gence and of incorruptible honesty.
With these the interests of the people
are safe, and the Democracy through
out the State will present such to the
people for their suffrages, men of the
stamp necessary to make up such a
BODY.

General Stockton of New Jersey, j. 4.
Maxwell of the Central said yesterday
that no notice of t he application had been
served on him or any officer Of the com
pauy.
but the application cannot, I think, be
enforced against the company" said MIR.
Maxwell, because we have literally
oSeyed the orders of the Court and have
not increased the price of coal or the rates
for carrying it since the order was issued;
In fact we refused to increase the rates
for carrying coal when the other roaus
did. Our rates are unchanged. They
are the same now that they nave been for
years. We could no. increase the price
of coal. as we never m Inc any or sell any,.
these are the facts, and that will be

There was a young lady teacher coz

children OF her class entertained them
selves and the other pupils by whistling

unable to detect breaches of discipline
anyone can see what the result would be.
