THIS is the way the EUening Journal
exposes the present Republican mis-
management of the public schools
Public School No. ~, on Crescent avenue. was
like a barn this morning. There was no heat IN
any portion of the building, and when a Journal
reporter called at noon the primary department
thermometers registered 81 degrees. For this
reason the scholars of the junior department
were sent home at half past ten O'Clock. Al noe n.
Principal Joslin also found it necessary to dismiss
the grammar department. 1t is one of the rules
of the Board of Education that the temperature
must be at least sixty degrees in the primary
departments and sixty five degrees in the gram
mar departments of the schools. As the mercury
registered below the specified standard. Priuci-
pal Joslin was compelled TO close the school.
The ca use of the trouble lies in the fact that the
,steam-heating apparatus had not been placed in
working operation.
In all the years that the Democrats
controlled the affairs of our schools,
nc such disgraceful neglect as this
could ever be charged.

Fanny Rice at the Academy.
Lovers of musical comedy presented by
clever people. have a treat in store for
them next week atthe Academy of Music,
when Fanny Rice and her new "Jolly
SURPRISE" will be the attraction. This is
Miss Rice's first visit to Jersey City as a
star, but as she has proved so great a IA
vorite elsewhere, it is more than prob
able that she will be given u warm recep-
ton.
From all accounts Jolly Surprise" is
one of the most entertaining plays of the
kind ever produced, and is entirely free
from Yulgarity or horse play. Miss Rice
is said to have taken great pains in the
selection of her company this season. and
is supported by players of known ability.

JUST as we supposed, Mr.. Hulnph-
rey w. Carr lodges an investigation
of his reckless insinuations against
the Street and Water Board. Invited
to come before the Board to repeat
them and tell where the evidence to
substantiate them can be found, he
refuses. He makes some vague and
absurd proposition about the MEM
bers of the Board accompanying him,
to see President bod, knowing well
that no self respecting man could en-
gage in any such proceeding.
Mr.. Dugan, at the next meeting OF
the Board, ought to pay his respects

The course OF II Dem0cra Tic
County Committee, last night, was
wise and energetic. The speech of
Mr.. Davis showed that he had a just
appreciation 0 the situation.
The action taken involves no con-
demnation of the Reading Coal bill
in the abstract. 1t is not a condem-
nation of the Assemblymen of this
year for voting for it. 1t is simply a
in resp of the present popular
ii ii and of the popular attitude
towards those who voted for the bill.
The only place where anything like
censure comes in is upon the men who
attempted to defy popular opinion for
the qualification of their own selfish
ambitions. For those who bowed to
the will of their constituents and
withdrew gracefully. there can be
nothing but praise. For those who
waited to be turned down there can
be -only-well, let US say, pity for
their blind folly.
WE wonder If Mr.. Joey Dear has
forgotten the time when MI. George
F. Perkins used to gobble the few
pennies taken in for the Journals
circulation every day to square up his
long overdue paper bills.

The impudent falsehood of this

can National Committee TO perpetrate,
not to detect fraud. He has been en-
gagged at work Of the same sort all his
life. He has a record before which
even those of Dudley, Clarkson and
Star Route Dorsey pale. The ADDER
tiser says
His presence has frightened the Democratic
and Mugwump newspapers into spasms.
Yes, for If we had the unanimous
vote of the people of the United States
on u side it would not avail us if
Dave Martin and his gang could do
the counting.
ANEws item in a South Jersey pa
per tells us that Gloucester City is
securing a new water supply. Efforts
are being made by engineers to secure
water from artesian wells. The pres
emit reservoir which was first drawn
from natural springs has proven in
adequate to the demand, and water
from Newton Creek is now used. The
engineers are driving wells around
the reservoir. They have succeeded
at a depth of eighty-fve feet of secur-
ing a flow of water that will yield 1, 900
gallons per minute. 1t is strange that
Jersey City is the only place in the
State that is too poor or too slow to
get a decent supply of drinking water.
Even Gloucester City, which is a
mean place when compared with
West Hoboken, can get pure and
wholesome water while the people of
the metropolis of the State must drink
liquid poison.

good sense and crankiness is illus
