The idea to make the public schools
of New York a primary grade of the
state militia is inspired by the same
spirit that lead the wild American
Indian to belaub his face with tirery
red paint to frightcn his foes and the
Chinese to bedeck their implements of
warfare with hideous looking monsters
to strike terror into the very souls of
the enemy and the great warrior OF
Central Africa to stick a dogs tooth
through the gristle of his nose as
mark of his military distinction. 1t
is true that some civilized men have
had the same idea of education. The
German Won Moltke thought the COM
mon people could never be fit for any
thing unless they were herded together
at the bsyonet's point and made to
get their chins in line parallel to the
cane of some sub officer, held in readi-
ness to teach them the meaning OF
discipline. The common schools OF
America are the great agencies of
civilization. There is no need of i'm
porting these German ideas into
American schools.

Trolley King Lewis of Brooklyn

Trolley King Lewis Of Brooklyn

city. One hundred and three human
lives have been sacrificed to this greedy
soulless corporation, which cares
naught for the life of little tot that
may be SO suddenly and cruelty ended
while enjoying innocent piny on the
streets where trolley cars are run.
Their onl ! aim is to hunt for diyi-
dends and keep it up. Trolley King
Lewis appeared before the Board of
Aldermen aud told that body that the
way to save the children's lives was to
forbid them from playing on all the
streets through which the trolley cars
run.
He coolly informed the board that
he thought the speed of the cars ought
not to be reduced, but that the best
thing to do was to pass all ordinance
prohibiting the playing of children on
any of the trolley tracked thorough
fares. Said this head Boss of the
child-slaying corporations: "Children
should not be allowed to play in streets
whereon cars run. In most of the
accidents that have occurred, children
have been the victims. There are
plenty of side streets where the chill
dren can play"
Call it mere affair Of fast driving,
and fine the motormen 50 when caught.
The companies can stand few small
fines like that as part of the running
expenses, the speed need not be re.
duced, schedule time fixed to beat the
overhead steam trains can be kept up.
dividends on those millions of wutered
stock can be paid, and everybody can
be happy-except the children.

NEW IRISH MOVEMENT.

The New Movement" as 1t is termed,
for Irish independence, or, to be more
exact, for the independence of ireland,
is a natural result of the political cendi-
ton in Great Britain and Ireland.
The only political leader in England
who could mass formidable following in
support of home rule for Ireland is re-
tired by old age. The Liberal party
split and went 10 pieces upon this qHes-
uon. Insn Iactlonal quarreis .-,., pleted
the wreck. No ennity of English toward
Irish can equal in likeness the antagonisnl,
senseless to u great degree, of Parncllite
and anti-Parneilite. The very names Of
the factions suggest such a lamentable
lack Of real patriotic sentiment that the,
friends of Ireland who rise above such
petty strife are forced to abandon hope OF
any settlement of the ancient grUdge by
the weapon Of suffrage.
Out of this discouraging condition springs
the new movement" the advocates of
which are now in conference at Chicago.
II one may define action which is yet only
incipient, the intention is similar to that
of the old Fcnian Brotherhood Many
of the old names which have long been
obscure, and whose owners must now
be venerable In years, crop out and lend
IN atmosphere of old-time enthusiasm to

GATHER IN%THE POSTMASTERS.
The report of Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Maxwell shows the appointment of
no less number than thirteen thousand
fourth class postmasters within the last
year-thc fiscal year erding June so. or
thisiargc number a very few were appointed
on account N the death or incompctency
of their predecessors.
This represents an enormous amount Of
labor on the part of Congressman and
of the appointing authorities. Each ap-
pointment tells an eloquent story Of strug
gle between aspirants, of an agony OF
anxiety among Congressman who were
compelled 40 give Recommendations, and
of the Postmaster General and his assist
ants in deciding between opposing fac
tions and delegations.
The report is forcible argument that
the selection of postmasters should be
taken out of politics, and that these Off
ciais should either be elected by the legal
voters of the communities they serve, or
else placed within the civil service regu-
lations, which will ensure their retention
during their lives or their efficiency.
Now that the President has placed al
most. the entire consular service within
civil service regulations he should crown
ais performances in this field by taking
the postmasters for all time out of the

A BOYCOTT BOOMERANG

Those who do not fully understand the
meaning of the word boomerang should
study the effect of the Baltimore & Ohio
boycott on the circulation of The Times.
When General Manager Alvey was nailed
in lie by The Times in his report to Lieut..
Kelly on the death-trap grade crossings
the Baltimore 6 Ohio Ra ailroad under =
took to punish such an unusual act of
dra wing its advertising and prohibiting
the sale of The Times i'll its trains and sta
tions. The effect must have been ex-
tremely disappointing 10 the railroad
company. The demand for The Times
by residents along the line of the railroad
Immediately doubleG- and instead OF, a
boycott the Baltimore & Ohio Company
instituted a boomerang.
Our esteemed but exceedingly curious
contemporary, the Star, is pursuing a
similar policy. Until the evening edition
of The Times was contemplated the little
weekly publications of this city were friend
ly to this paper. So was also the Star.
But when vigorous competition came into
the field our jealous rival sicked several
little spitz newspapers at the heels of The
Times, and they are still snarling at its
public prosecution of certain municipal
abuses. The object of this indirect at
tack on The Times was to induce mer-
chants to withdraw their advertising, and,
to make the effect doubIy sure, not only
were the papers mailed to Times adver-
tisers, but clippings were also made and
inclosed Ia their several addresses. a.
Once for all, let it be known that The
Times fights openly, fairly and not under
cover. What it has To say will be published
in its own columns, but except in self
defense, it will never attack individuals
unless it is necessary to do so to reach
public abuses. 1t has already brougst
about number of needed reforms, and
intends to strive for others, and at all
times and on all occasions it will
be paper lor the people, because it has
no corporate associations or influences to
control its utterances.
