REPUBLICAN SCHOOLS.
Mayor Wanser Says 1t Was
Time to Turn the Damn
Thieves Out"-A Dis
aStrOuS Situation.

government of the Public Schools has
opened the eyes of many men who sup
ported Mayor Wanser in the last CAM
paigu to the fact that tie reform tnat
gentleman promised was merely delu-
sion and snare; also to the 1act thas
il the government gets into the hands OF
Republicans the same old system OF
treasury losting which characterized the
performances of the party in the past
will be renewed with vlgor.
At the present time it is next to an Inn,
possibility for q person to get ciVll
answer from any Republican oince hoioer.
The fact that the party has gained little
tendency to swell the heads of these
gentlemen, and the outlook Tor
citizens is that some one Will
be assaulted for daring to make inquiries
concerning public business. This condl-
tion of affairs already exists In the City
Hall. and it must be said with some re-
gret that trimming" Democrats are fail,
ing in line with the Republicans and
adopting their obnoxious ways
The deliberate insult heaped upon the
Democratic members of the Board OF
Education is directly attributable 70
"Sam" Dickinson. Colonel Wanser, tne
alleged reform Mayor, by word and &C.
the actions of his only Republican
Board. A JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter
eudeayored to interview His Honor
as to the justness and advisabilfty OF
President Reid's actions In mak1nk up ms
committee list with an eye to party atlll-
ations. His Honor swelled up with IN
dignation as once, and made q remarR
that sounded something like. 1T was

ANOTHER TICKLER, RERHAPs.
Rumor has it that his honor will SEND a
communication to the Board OF Educa.
tion which will resurrect the actions OF
the old Board, and carry with 1t unjust
and partisan insinuations similar to the
gross tissue of misrepresentation al,
rected to the members of the Board
of Street and Water Commissioners.
The present Democratic members OF tne
Board are eagerly awaiting the appear
ance of this letter. They Intend making
it is one-one Of thorns. Any further
attacks upon the Boards under Demo-
cratic control will probably be settled In
the Courts.
Director Garrison, who has labored in
defatigably in building up Pubic Scnooi
No. 2, is highly indignant that this school
should have been taken of his hands and
placed in charge of man who Is COM
parative stranger in the city and who has
no knowledge or experience to h6 him TO
conduct the operations and assume charge
of a public school of any description.
The Directors complain hut little. how
ever They. simply demand that, mas
Board, they will exhibit enough manli-
ness to shoulder all criticisms that may
hereafter be made upon the proceedings
of the body. One of the things specially
admired is Mr.. Reid's characteristic mod
esty in making himself chairman OF one
of the most important committees OF the
Board, thereby establishing a precedent
that has never been paralleled in politics
in this State.
A DISASTROUS TENDENCY.
"Phe introduction of politics in the gov
ernment of our public schools will create
disorder and result in injuring the stand
ing of our schools" said member of the
Board of Education last night. When
the Board was Democratic, no parti-
sanship existed. Director Reid, the
present presiding officer of the Board,
was Chairman OF the Committee on
Books and Stationery, and his colleague.
Mr.. Pfngsten. also had committee. In
this manner the Board ran along meothly
and did excellent work; but under the
present management fear an eruption,
and also fear the harmony
in that Board is thing
of the past. The Democratic members
were deliberately insulted, and they will,
of a year people will see that Democratic
government. IL contrasted with the pres
ent government, will show which party
best protects the city's interests and
works for the improvements of everything
connected with the city government"
CALLERS FEW.
Mayor Wanser had an unusually quiet
day Of it today. Callers were few and
office seekers were conspicuous by their
absence. Last Saturday afternoon His
Honor was closeted with his legal ad-
wiser, Secretary Spencer Weart. until
after five o'clock preparing the communi-
cation which was hoped to create dis
order in the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners, but which was such u
homeless failure. His Honor displayed
better Judgment today by leaving his
office early and seeking the company OF
the Farriers and other Republican ad-
visers,
