THE SCHOOLS OPENED.

The public schools open to-day, and
the children of the city are happy. 1t
Is an excellent sign. and one that
speaks volumes for the qualities OF the
teachers. that almost every child is glad
to got back to school, and such ms are
In the country return to the city cheer
fully for that purpose.
1t Is to be regretted that the accom-
modations Will still be found inadequate
to the demand. and thar many children
are likely to be unable to find admis-
sion to the schools. There has been
some Improvement In that respect, and
the Board of Education deserves com
mendation for the energy It has dis
played In providing additional facilities.
But these are still inadequate. and the
doors will be still closed against some
thousands OF children, Notwithstanding
the improvement. This ought not to be.
While we expend a large sum of money
on education, we are not as liberal to
that Department OF the government as
we are to those of more interest and
usefulness to the politician. The rate of
increase in our school appropriations is
lamentably short of the rate OF increase
in what may be called the political
Offices OF the municipality.
Among the improvements TO be hoped
for by the agitation of municipal reform
none is of greater interest or i'm
portance than that of broader liberality
and more careful expenditures in tho
public schools.

M'KINLEY's APPEAL.

The people who elected Grover Clevo-
Land and the present Congress decided
In favor Of tariff reform and tax rcduc-
ton.
When Congress set to work to carry
out their declared will and to give effect
to their verdict against the evil OF Nc
I<inleyism, the Republicans raised an
cutlery against the wiCkcdness OF dis
turbing the tariff laws and thus upset
ting the business OF the country. The
depression of trade. the paralysis Of
commerce, the stoppage Of mills, the
scarcity of work and the sufferings OF
the laboring classes were all laid to the
charge of tariff agitation, and not to
the unjust law which sought to further
encourage and enrich trusts and monop-
olies at the expense of all other inter
| csts.
Now. the policy Of the Government on
the tariff question has been radically
| changed In conformity with the people 8
wishes. In place of high protection for
| favored interests, we have an equitable
adjustment of duties for the equal pro-
lection Of all. The measure OF reform is
not as full as could have been desired,
| equaliZe taxation, to relieve the poor IT
| unjust burdens. and to force into assess
ment the wealth of rich tax-dodgers
And now comes Mckinley, the parti-
san OF trusts. corporations and monopo-
lies; the oppressor of labor for the bene-
| mt OF favored capital: the champion of
taxation for the poor and exemption for
the rich, with an appeal to the people.
| for what?
For renewed tariff agitation. For a
disturbance OF nll that has been settled.
For another change of policy that will
again plunge the country into agitation
and uncertainty.
Elect me and my friends, cries Nc
Kinley, upset the popular will, cast
aside the new tariff policy. and go back
to high protection for trusts, corpora
lions and all wealthy monopolies that

political campaigns and reward the G.

people Is a crime. Tariff agitation for

POPULISTS AND UNION MEN,.
Joint Political Conference to lie
Held Tonight.

The Joint conference Of the Popu-
lists and the Central Labor Union will
be held tonight at Clarendon Hall. The
outcome will have an important bearing
on the campaign. Both the Populists
and the managers OF the Citizens move
ment ask for the support of the work
ingmen.
The Populists propose to name city
and State ticket independent OF any com
bination. 1t is n question for the work
ingmen to decide whether they want to
support Popuistic principles at this time
or vote for better local government
Tammany is giving secret support to
the Populist scheme. Tammany's object
Is to prevent union of forces The
Wigwam leaders know that every vote
cast for a union candidate counts against
them. Their purpose. therefore, Is to d.
vide the votes OF the opposition among
as many side issues as possible.
The Populists apparently do not count
on wholesale additions to their ranks,
whatever the decision OF the working
men may be. In any event, they expect
to remain In control of the campaign and
adopt platform of their own. With
that end In view they have elected dele
gates from this city to the State Conven-
whom are pronounced POpulists and who
will not subscribe to any principles not
laid down In the Ocala platform. These

Renan as n boomerang.

To the Editor:
A correspondent. &c. II. o." ''hurls' Renan
at me because in previous letter alluded to the
opinion held by many eminent Biblical critics
that the fourth Gospel was not written by St.
John. But fancy 20. II. o." will find 'Renan''
very dangerous boomerang. The dis
tinguished French writer admits, indeed. that the
Gospel embodies the teachings OF John, apostle
OF whom he says he does not hold very exalted
opinion, but adds that there is much room for
doubt as to its real authorship, that the dis
courses at least are not by the son Of zebedec,
that certain portions, which he mentions, were
added afterwards that several passages bear
traces OF and corrections. and finally that
the writings OF all the evangelsts are full Of mis-
takes and misconceptions. (see Wilbour's trans
lation OF THE Life OF Jesus" pp a. 80 80, 36s,,
Renan also denies the miracles Of the resur-
rectlon and says in his History of the People o.
Israel" that the orthodox opinion that Moses
wrote the first Ave books Of the Bible is so
ridiculous as to be outside the pale OF criticism.

an evidence OF approaching great business
prosperity the fact that one thousand or more
invoices OF goods are being taken out OF the
New York Custom House daily. when only 100
to $50 lots or invoices were taken out daily
under the Mckinley Tarin law. To me this Is
valuable pointer. II means that about seven
times as many foreign goods are coming in here
under the present law came under the previous
law. It means that seven times the Qua..eity
