They Are Forced to Go to School-How
the Demagogue Works the Unemployed
Problem to Suit His Own Purposes and
Ends.
rBy CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.1
LONDON, Nov. 19-There are 10000 lit.
tie children in Londoe who go breakfast
less to school every morning. This is the
saddest feature of the great unemployed
problem which agitates the metropolis. The
matter has been urgently brought before the
school board this week by delegates from
the idle workingmen, with the request that
the city should fill the stomachs as we'll as
the brains of the little ones whose attend
ance it compels.
The subject had already been semi-ofi-
cially investigated, and the appalling
figures which are daily growing were found
to be substantially correct 1t is also
stated that q wholesome porridge can be
provided at cost of only one halfpenny
per child. 1t is argued that unless such an
expedient is adopted the compulsory edu-
cation law might as well be repealed, for
the hunger for knowledge and hunger for
food can never exist in the same body, least
OF all in a child's
There has been occasional violence at the
meetings of London's idle workingmen on
Tower Hill this week. The demagogues who
are trying to profit by the general distress,
and who are the enemies of the really de-
serving, have come in contact with rivals
and with the police, and some broken heads
have resulted.
A tiny mite of humanity, thin and wan
and half clad in rags, had appeared for sew
eral days on the stone parapet used as a
forum and was pointed out by the speakers
as an example of starving humanity in
London. The police finally took the little
chap to court, where he disclosed that he
received salary of threepence per day tor
playing the role-which, moreover, was
hardly false one.

New Rumor OF an Elevated Railroad.
A report was circulated yesterday that
Eastern capitalists are scheming to get a
right of way for an elevated railway from
the lower part of the city to the East End.
Business men take little stock in the story.
1t is estimated it would cost $4,000, 900 to
build such road and that it would be ten
years before 1t would begin to pay interest
on the investment.

The revulsion of public sentiment is more
than likely to. react on his prosecutors
RicaA a Bit Too Ambitions.

Ricard, the Minister of Justice, was con-
tinuslly insulted and reviled by large
portion Of the Chamber when he occupied
the tribune yesterday. The reason for this
treatment is that he is suspected of ambi-
tion and lack of sincerity in his course
against the Panama directors. Some think
that his Cabinet seat is in greater danger
than Loubet's. At all events, if the tide
of public opinion should turn the Prime
Minister would hardly suffer in this in
stance, for it is well known that he is per-
sonally opposed to the prosecution of the
Panama managers at this late day, so the
cry 'cui bono" is already raised, and the
outcome of the matter is still uncertain.

SKETCHES OF THE PROPER METHODS

7. NJ. Porter made hasty sketch for THE
DISPATCH, showing three styles of handling
the ribbons, and then discoursed on the
subject thus: 'Look at the drivers: intel

horses; young men who drive turiously for
the fun of it, and vicious coachmen who in

over-check and side.reins have long since
disappeared from the stable of the intelli-

nothing about horses have an idea that an
animal whose head is held high by the
cruel over-check looks better than if beld
in the natural position. Standing on Penn
avenue, many horses may be seen enduring
the tortures of the lost. They frequently
throw their heads up, trying to obtain a
moments relief; they twist and turn and
foam at the mouth, but there is no es-
cape.

diffused among society people, tandem

EAST WASHINGTON CITIZENS.

Investigation Committee.

They Criticise the Report Of the Assessment
Investigation Committee.
The advance sheets Of the report Of the in
vestigating committee on assessments furnished
material for quite a lengthy discussion at the
regular monthly meeting of the East Washing
ton Citizens Association last night.
Mr. NJ. /. Weller, the chairman Of the COM
mittee on assessments and apportionment Of
appropriations, said he thought the report q Ia
bored attempt at single-tax reform. . species of
class legislation he did not approve Of, for the
reason that il was detrimental to the best inter-
ests of the poor man.
THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS DEFENDED.
Mr. Weller said he somewhat surprised
and grieved to learn through the press that the
investigating committee had sharply criticised
the board of assessors. He referred to the
statement made by member Of the committee
that since the investigation commenced the
board had increased the assessment on q certain
square so per cent and characterized that charge
as false. He explained that some time ago
member of the committee asked one OF the
board for his figures on certain square and
received them. But these figures were only the
opinion of one man and had never been before
the full board as a board of review, and when
thew did the figures of all three of the members
differed and the new figures, the advance spoken
OF, were the ones nnallyyaSreeu uPon' III.
Weller read portions of the report and spoke OF
that part which recommended the Adjustment
of the present board of assessors and the estab-
lishment of a permanent board He thought
if the committee had recommended the estab-
lishment of a board of appeal, as recommended
by the East Washington association, which
should be separate and distinct from the per-
manent board of assessors, it would have been
a good move.
Mr.. Weller in response to question said
that the assessors had assessed upon basis OF
20 per cent of the sworn values as given before
the investigating committee. But this only ap-
piled to certain squares. II that ratio pre-
vailed all over that section there would be
money enough in two years to pave every
street west of Lincoln Park. In the squares
taken in the northwest the new assessment was
40 per cent of the values sworn to before the
committee. But nothing could be CLEANED
from these figures.
