three men and boys came to the conclu-
sion that they would drive them from
the house. Late at night they appeared
In masks with tin pans and drums. This
did not have the desired effect and the
windows were stoned.
Armo grabbed the blind child and
escaped to the woods, but the woman
was captured by the Whitecaps, and,
stripping her of her clothes, they
doused her in the cold water Of the
river near by. Seventeen of the White

Quite enough suspicion attaches to the
Park Department to make II desirable
that changes should be made in the
Commission. The bitter fight made
against the people In the matter Of the
speedway sidewalks, the queer work in
connection with the contracts for the
speedway construction, the secrecy and
apparent crookedness In the use of the
one million dollar relief fund and other
matters have long seemed to demand
the Mayors attention.
The asphalt business now looks as II
II might lead to more thar a municipal
investigation. Are nine hundred and
ninety-nine dollar contracts to be again
revived? Are they an evasion OF the
law? Were or are any of the Park
Commissioners interested in the asphalt
company? These are questions that may
well be considered in "A Grand Jury room.
Blu that does not remove the obligation
OF the Mayor to keep the municipal de-
partments clean and effective.

In ten years. then. the Increase In the
appropriation for the maintenance OF the
Educational Department has increased a
fraction over 41-2 per cent. while the
political departments nave increased
from 10 IA per cent. TO LIS per cent. Yet
in those ten years the number OF schools
and the force Of teachers have largely
increased. while more than six hundred
thousand people have been aided to the
population.
DO these figures. plain facts rom the
records. prove hat It is a ']ibel' on the
educational system and on the city au-
thorities to charge that the public schools
ave not been treated as literally as the
political departments Of the city govern

TAMMANY AND THE SCHOOLS.

clares the statement a Misrepresentation.
and %oun that he will not permit
the city's educational system to be 80
grossly libelled, nor the city's authori-
ties to be put in such a false position
Mr.. Gilroy quotes figures to support his
contention that the authorities control
ling the city's purse strings. give as
freely to the Board OF Education as to
other city departments. He produces the
annual appropriations for the mainte-
! ance Of the schools and the bonds issued
In zach year, for school sites and build
ings for the last twelve years. and seeks
to show tina the amounts were larger
under six years OF his W and Mayor
Grants Tammany administrations than
under six years of the more independent
administrations of Mayors Edison. Grace
and Hewitt.
Mayors Gilroy's figures are misleading
and deceptive as he uses them. and In
stead Of %disproving the charge Of dis
elimination against the schools they
fully and unqualifiedly establish Its
truth.
In the six years from 1889 to 1898 inclu-
sive, the amount OF bonds Issued for new
schoo sites and buildings was only
81, 5Ss, 00l. The amount from 1889 to 1894
inclusive, was Z ,357.1l4. This Is an ex-

But these bonds are Issued by order
