THE SCHOOLS.

We publish today an article from a cor
respondent who knows the facts stated In
his letter and he shows that instead OF
learning the children to read most OF the
time is devoted TO nonsensical specialties
and that the teachers are tired of IL.
The vast majority, say 95 per cent, OF
the children In the schools must go to
work at an cary age and II they are
thoroughly taught in the fundamentals
they will easily learn themselves. Hens
aud their excrement are not ornamental,
edifying or healthy In a crowded school
room and lady teachers do not like to
clean out hencoops.
But what earthly good does the whole
rubbish dot

Dose Of Tartar Emotlc Was Probably Fol-
lowed by One Of Arsenic.

NEW York, Dec. l4.-The cross exami-
nation OF Professor Doremus was taken
up by DIR. O'Sullivan in the Meyer trial
yesterday. District Attorney Nicoll asked
as 10 whether the chemist was able TO
determine in what form the poisons were
taken by Brandt. Professor Doremus said
he was unable TO determine and ssid that
the quantities and the quality OF the anti
mony and its wide distribution through
the system indicated that that poison was
taken in the fc.m of tartar emetio and
preceding the t't<ng OF the arsenic
In reply Co a question from DIR. OSulli-
van the witneS said he was unable TO
state whether the arsenic found in
Brandts body was administered before
death or got there through an embalming
process after death. The professor said
that the arsenic he had found was in the
innermost tissue Of the body: that had It
come from another grave il would have
shown it's effects on the outside; whereas
Brandts outer box, coffin, clothing and
skin were drv.

In the speeches OF the Republicans you
will always hear them express solicitude
for the poor laborer. How IL It when
II comes TO deeds and not words? 4?
II anybody is in doubt let them road who
voted to repeal the ordinance making
II 1-2 cents an hour the lowest pay for
Iaborers In this city. Profession and
practice are evidently widely different
terms to the Republicans. When will
those who work for living look OF the
issue as IT really existsf

The Chairman of the Republican City
compelled to work for whatever wages
PERSONS necessity compels him to accept.
He says men are employed on the high
ways who are not worth cents an hour,
and that he can furnish men for 80
cents day. Is this the Republican
standard for an American laborer.

The Democratic City Committee is
doing good work in the various wards. 1t

At the meeting OF the city government
last night all OF the Democrats voted
against the preposterous proposition OF
the Republicans TO reduce wages at this
stage, when everybody Is suffering and
when the city can afford to be generous.
1t is a hopeful sign.

In making your Christmas presents do
not give embroidered tides where the re-
cipient is suffering for coal, or an artistic
toilet set to a family that has no bread In
the house. Coal and -four are the proper
gifts in such cases, and although they
will not be retained, they will be remem-
bered by the recipient.
