AN UNCALLED FOR SNUB.

At the earnest solicitation of a large
number of high school pupils, a COM
mittee consisting of Mr.. Geo. E. Brett
Rev. L. w. Beattie and Attorney A.
r. Pau appeared before the school
board at it's meeting last nj hit in the
interest of the proposition for one ses-
sion a day for the high school. The
gentlemen had in their possession a
very formidable petition signed by pa
rents of the pupils requesting that
their prayer be granted.
Any committee of gentlemen ap-
pearing before an organized body of
officials representing the public in any
capacity are entitled to a respectful
hearing and considerate action, but it
is reported by the gentlemen
of the committee that the
president of the board received them
in anything but courteous manner
and absolutely refused to consider
their proposition. The FREE PRESS,
meeting, expressed the belief that
the school would do bettor work with
two sessions daily than it would with
one, and pointed out some reasons for
it's belief, and commended the action
of the board for adhering to the pres
ent system. 1t admitted, however,
that there were strong arguments in
favor of both propositions which is
true.
But there is certainly no reasons for
the president of the board to deny a
committee of citizens a respectful
hearing, even though that commit
tees views may not accord with those
entertained by himself, and we trust
that his arbitrary ruling last night
was with no intention of being discour-
teous, as it certainly was if reports be
true.

Hon. James T. McCleary, Mankato, MINI
SIR:-I have to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of the Sth inst
inquiring as to the cause of the delay
in the work on the superstructure of
the United States court house and
pOStOtfice in your city.
In reply, / have the honor to state
that the delay has been caused on ac-
count of the dilatorinesS of the con-
tractor, who should have promptly
started to work on receipt of letter
notifying him of the acceptance of
his proposal, and forwarded at once to
this office samples of materials for
approval for use under his contract.
In the meantime, the contractor
has been requested to forward such
samples, and Immediately upon re-
ceipt of same, action will be taken in
the matter of their acceptance or re-
lection. i,
Respectfully yours,

the latter were $2Sl. 900, 900 more than
those of the Cleveland administration !;
and that the total annual surplus during
four years of Democratic rule amounted
to $219, $40, ,548 in excesa of Harriaon's ad.

trate the fact that while the revenue

The herald., 1894-10-31

In 1850 capital owned only 3715 per cent
Of the 5000, 900, 900 of the wealth of the
country. while labor owned 621s pei
cent. In 1870 this condition OF things
was reversed. The oountry's sstim ated
wealth had barely increased TO $50. 900, :
600, 900, but OF this amount capital had
annexed 63115 per cent and labor was left
in the cold with 3625 psr cent of the total
sum. Truly. nuch devilish ingenuity
amounts to genius. and Mr.. McLachlan,
perhaps, was right in saying it provoked
the admiration OF the world. Inasmuch
as the United States docs not contain
ell those in the universe who are drunk
with the lust for gold, it ia possible. also.
that envy animated the hearts of many
who would, if they could, put into vogue
in their own country the infamous
methods which obtained here under the
Republican regime of which Dir. Nc
Lachlan pretends to be SO proud.
One assertion. however, hidden away
in the body of this little paragraph
which heads this article, we take ex-
ception to. That this country "pios-
pered" during the 80 years of Rs
publican rule is dictum to
which we take exception. OF course
it in large meaeure depends on a mans
mental standpoint as to what he terms
prosperity. We have shown how in
twenty years the money power, with
the assistance of the Republican party,
obtained the larger portion of the
country's wealth, and probably from
their standpoint. and on this Mr.. Nc
Lachlan speaks with authority, this may
mean the country's prosperity-the
looters are the country.
Speaking from the other aide OF the
line, however, instead of denominating
an organized and systematic system of
plumber as prosperity" we would sp-
ply more expressive and truer term in
saying it was legalizsd robbery. Bene-
fts that accrued to the country at large
were merely incidental, and formed no
part OF the programme; a sop merely
thrown to keep the unruly canaille
quiet. So far as the vast multitude Of
toilers is concerned, the Vanderbiltian
motto of "the people be d-d,", might
justly be assumed by the Republican
arty.
Accepting the ordinary definition OF
the term prosperity of the country" it
is interesting to note when and under
what kind of rule it obtained. A COM
parison of the country's status under
Clsvelsnd's administration from 1859,
with the four years OF Hsrrison's ad-
ministration following, shows con-
clusively where prosperity lay. Under
the latter the expenditures were largely
increased and the surplus in the treas-
ury largely diminished.
The following comparison of receipts
and expenditures, exclusive of postal,
for four years, beginning June 80, 1885,
and ending June 80. 1898, 10 instructive

THE CLASSES Us. THE MASSES.


"The business of the country had
been adjusted for more than thirty
years and under it they had proepered
to degree that excited the marvel and
the admiration as well ss the envy of
all the nations of the world. d."-f Nc
Lachlan's speech at Whittier.
And then she winkcd the other eye,,"
or if when he uttered the quoted GEN.
tence he did not, then the congressional
champion of the 6. o. p. has greater
command of his features than he has of
his language. That the Republican
party had control of this country for
thirty years is perfectly true-more's
the pity. Ii the seed of evil class legis-
lation had not been then Gown the
misery and financial desolation which
has been apparent recently would not
have resulted. That this country, un-
der the domination of the Republican
party, has been the marvel and admira.
tion of the world may also be correct
That by an uncomfortable scheme of
class legislation the country should be
ooted for the benefit OF the few, is quite
sufficient reason why the nations of the
world should marvel. That the labor
ing classes, with the remedy OF the bal
lot in their own hands, should be
30 far beguiled as to permit
them iclTao to be reduced to a
state closely approximating that of the
Saxon thrall suiiic to explain why the
