appropriate another $l00, 600 to make a

THERE never was greater fraud prRc-
ticed than that by which workingmen
were induced to consent to the pro-
hibitive tariff policy of the Republican
party. They were told that high tariff
meant high wages and constant work.
They have found OUT to their sorrow
that it meant low wages and long inter-
walls of idleness. As soon asthe monop-
olists secured high tariff they COM
menced to food the country with pauper
labor from Europe. Then followed
forced reduction of wages and the most
formidable strikes ever seen in this
country. But the wages had to fall and
the strikers go to the wall, for
the benefciaries of the prohib tive
tariff had overstocked the labor market
by importations of workers from Europe
on a scale never before known. At tn 70
best, the monopolists shut down their
factories and works for from three to six
months in the year, when the men had
to do as the old darkey song said, root,
hog, or die" The benefcaries of the
tariff were in position to limit the sup
ply OF their productions to the demand
OF the home market, and thus insure
high prices. This peculiar feature of
the conspiracy against labor they were
enabled to carry out by trust combines.
The result OF all this sbominsble work

million of idle and starving men in the
country, who, With their famil es,
amounting altogether to 100000

Proceedings at the Association's Meeting
Last Night.
At the meeting last evening of the
Northwest association a large number of
property holders gathered to discuss the
revision of the city charter. The DIS
cussions we're many and to the point.
Mr.. Moss started the ball rolling by
saying economy was the idea to work
on. He said as the charter ie at nrAsant
IL wes simpiy robbinR the people for
officeholders. Little properties meant
big taxes. 1t was not only the big prop
critics who were suffering. The idea
prevalent was as in the play OF Hamlet,
II dig the grave and l get the paw"
This policy should not and cannot exist
long. To people coming here to buy
homes, the first question is, "WhAt are
your taxes ?" and the amount was
enough to drive them back to their cold
climate.
General Bouton made strong speech
In favor of the assessment being made
every FIVE or ten years instead OF every
year, which was an enormous expense.
He also spoke OF the CASTELAR, school
being too email and with no play ground
for the children, which Was as impor-
tant as water and ventilation.
DIR. Wills OF the school board was pres.
ent and made some remarks about the
condition of the schools and the big
sewer. He spoke against the proposed
school bonds, saying the amount was
entirely too large. He thought it waf
wrong to place fine buildings in sparsely
settled districts and make great many
children walk long distance to school
instead of placing them in thickly set
tied districts, He said that $3.50, 600 was
entirely too much money but that about
SAC, 900 was needed Immediately. His
| remerka were we'll received.

pretender.

In former times this term was
specifically applied to the family
of James of England, but it has
grown into almost numberless
applications, among which is the
sponge, who wants to catch a
ride on his way through the

favors while pretending to be a
polished gentleman; the pretend
err who favors morals and good
order, temperance and justice,
exactly as it accords with his
own interests and inclinations
the pretended friend of the poor
man when he can thereby make
a dollar; the deluded pretender,
who always seeks to manage the
financial affairs of others while
totally incapable of managing
his own; the city official, who

are pretending to control and

A Good Law.

State Superintendent of Edu'
cation Stone finds much to ap,
prove of in the new school law
He says of it:
Il find evidences that the
change is a good one on every
hand. There is better manage
ment of the schools.
Il do not fear the influence OF
Capitalization which some have
claimed is a bad effect produced
BY the town law. Wherever the
schools of a town have been
somewhat consolidated 1t has
been for the best interest of all
concerned. fla school is SO poor
and so thinly attended as to be
Improbable with any decent
instruction, this law makes 1t
possible to consolidate two or
more schools and secure proper
instruction at a reasonable cost.
1T has been claimed that the
matter Of expense should not be
thought of i'll considering the
education of our young people,
but the fact is that it has been
thought of by committeeman un.
der the old system, and sadly to
the detriment of the schools.
Il think the only centralizing
influences resulting from the
town system for many years will
be such as is healthful and for the
good of the schools. And if any
unpleasant features develop there
is time to attend to them. The
law needs full and fair trial.
There is one more advantage
Under the new law it is possible
to secure teachers who will re-
main for extended periods in the
schools; and a teacher S second
term is always of more value
than the first. There is not so
much danger of constant change.
"In about every respect flavor
the town system, and hope to see
much Improvement in the schools
all over the state"

A Little Lesson In Politics,

Ifpeople generally would take
as much interest in political mat.
tiers, the year round, as they take
few weeks before nomination
or election, we should have fewer
professional politicians; and
when it comes to the scratch we
should not be led blindly by the
few who make it a business to
keep wide awake. These spas
modic revivals are bad. If they
were always the result of sober
public opinion they might be toll.
Grated; but they are too fire.
quently the result of excitement
in which good judgment and care
full foresight have little part.
Many people who read the news
papers give sigh Of relief when
q campaign is over, and the re.
turns are all in, for then there is
no longer any occasion for ap.
peals to party sentiments and
prejudices. IF they are voters
they are content when their vote
is cast, especially if their candi
dates are successful, and if not
their chagrin is only short lived
The shams in our political life are
fostered by the apathy which ex
lists almost up to the time thu
people cast their ballots. The
political education of an election
is reduced to a minimum, and tn,
grind of some machine" big O,
little browns out the popular
voice because, for want of exer
else, it has become feeble ant
stammering. If men would con
tinuously interest themselves il
public affairs and lead in politi
cal, as they do in social and in
dustrial matters, their presenc
would always be felt, and whe,
the time comes for the election c
candidates they would kno,
where to put their finger on tn
men they want for public SCI
wants.
