SCHOOL ROUSE MONEY.

Editor Tribune:
Under the constitution and laws of this
state school district is the nearest APP
proach the people have to pure democra-7
cy, taking on somewhat the character Of
the town governments of some eastern
states. A board of directors are elected to
carry out the expressions of the people and
has such powers as is given it by law. 1t
is authorized to proceed with the
building of school house when
directed by a vote of the district
to do So" In connection with build
ing school house, afew material questions
arise, to-wit: OF what shall the building
be made? Where shall it stand? What
shall it cost? How shall it be paid for, by.
money in the treasury, by borrowed money
or by special tax
The situation in this district at present,
is that the people have directed the board
to borrow 0,000 for the purpose of erect
ing high school building and to fund out
standing warrants There were then ont.
standing about $25 coo in warrants. Now
then, with the 100000, assuming that the
loan is made, shall the board redeem the
warrants and erect a school house with the
balance2 Or shall it erect a $30,Ga1 house
and cash warrants with the balance? Shall
the house be built of wood, brick or stone2
The district owns three unimproyed sites,
On which shall the new building be erected (?
These are relevant and material questions.
Does the law give the board the right to
answer them? Do not their answers rest
with the people
But some critic may ask: "Why did not
the board think of these matters and in
form the people before The question is
pertinent enough, but, why did not the
people think of them and inform them
selyes2 The law is accessible to them as to
membs of the board. Why did they pledge
their credit for $40, eco and place the money
in the hands of the board without ex-
! plicitly directing how it should be used
If an excuse is needed for either the
board or the people it may, possibly, be
found in the conditions that surround a
new government. In new state, with
new laws neither the people or officers
have that line of precedents, customs and
| judicial decisions that exist in older states
to guide them. Mistaken interpretations
of the law are often made, sometimes ex-
pensive ones.
In the present instance no harm has
been done. Perhaps, logically, the people
should have determined all questions Incl
dental to the school house before asking
for loan. Having. sought the loan first
| If the board is successful in making it, the
manner in which the money shall be used
may possibly be then determined. But the
people should not lose sight of the fact that
this determination is right belonging to
them. J.. @. RATHBUN.

TAHAMANXsS POW EEs.

In order to give one an idea of the full
extent of the liquor power in New York
City, il is only necessary to state that there
are about geo policemen On Sunday 10
watch 5000 liquor sellers, and see that the
law prohibiting the traffic in liquor on that
day is enforced There are, therefore
nearly Ia saloons for every policeman, who,
Of course, has other duties besides watch
ing the liquor sellers, AT the best, there
fore, Superintendent Byrnes says that
there can be but limited number of ar
rests. It is the duty of the police to en-
force the laws whether they be Just or un-
Just, and this, as far as possible, he pro
poses shall be done. There are about $500
untried cases of yiolators of the excise laws
in the district attorneys office. To get-rid
Of these it has been virtually decided to
impanel an extra grand jury in June This
jury will act in connection with the extra
ordinary session of the court of Oyer and
Terminer called by the governor, This is
the third time in ten years that an extra
grand jury and an extra grand session Of
Oyer and Terminer have been convened in
New York City.

Ben Butler thinks that majority of the
commission created to adjust the Behring
sea matter will be practically chosen by
England, and he asserts that the decision
is at this moment foregone conclusion.
He refers to the tone of the English news
papers in discussing the compact, and to
their congratulating each other on the fact
that England is now safe" tI agree with
them,' exclaims the general, ''she is safe.
And therefore say that the arbitration
ought not to have been made"
The Washington Post says: eve dc
not think that the American people will,
after deliberately considering the question,
set the seal Of their approval upon the
manner in which the Behring sea con
troversy has been conducted and con.
cluded. Save that one brief lnterlude in
which the president himself interfered to
check Lord Salisbrry's insolenoe and to
prevent an incident, already humiliating
enough, from becoming intolerably shame
full, it has presented one unbroken chroni-
Gle Of feebleness and futility on our part.
We have been outwitted, balied, befooled,
and worsted at every turn. And we stand
today in the disgraceful attitude of a ma
ton consenting to its own spoliation at the
hands Of q notorious professional spolia-
tor. The disguise under which the rob
berry is Veiled is so scornfully transparent
that any crossroads justice in the land
should be pilloried for not penetrating it at
the first glance

The Philadelphia Public Ledger makes
the pertinent query; Why should gas
Jets continue to be used for the fly and bor-
der lights Of theatre Tncandescent cleo
trio lights, besides being under better con-
troll for light effects, are entirely safe, pro
Ylded the wiring is properly done. Even
though the glass bulb should be broken
the tilament Of carbon is instantly CON
sumed, and it has been shown by expert
ment that the finest fabric cannot be ig-
nited from an ineandescent lamp unless
an arc should be formed. Electric lights,
properly installed, greatly increase the
safety Of theatres. They constitute the
ounce of prevention worth pound of
cure
