OBJECTS TO FAIRY TALES
Mr.. Kerr Does Not Think Them Food
Cor sha NIinds af Sclaaal ChiIdren


The Hoboken Board of Education held
its regular weekly meeting last night.
Considerable surprise was occasioned
when the Committee On School Govern
ment. Teachers and Salaries offered a
resolution adding Burke's Fairy Tales
for Little Readers to the list Of text
books. Mr.. Kerr objected. He was so
excited that he could hardly express him
self, but finally said that he did not re-
gard fairy tales as being the right sort
Of stuff for young minds to feed upon.
He protested so vigorously that Fairy
Tales were cancelled from the list
The claims against the old Board
which had not been paid owing to lack
Of funds were found to amount to 1888.
An extra requisition of s., 800 was made
for these claims. This will leave a bal
ance in the treasury.
The payroll Of June, amounting to
$9,171. was passed.

This paper is Democratic in principles
and is Independent in its uie1cs Oh all local
questions.
Allan L. McDsrmott on silver.

Allan l.. McDermott's declaration Of
vention should declare for free silver is
just what might be expected from a man
Of his political wisdom, courage AND hon
or. 1t shows that he is a true leader and
a patriotic one, a man to whom party
means nothing except the organization
of principle, and who is indifferent to
furthering the good of the Commonwealth.
In making this declaration, Mr.. Nc
Dermott earns added honor and gratitude
from his fellow citizens. He becomes a
tower Of strength against the advancing
forces of currency debasement, and it
may be said that there is no man in New
he can in this fight. His present attitude
must at the same time be a cause of no
small mental pain to him. He is a Demo-
crat OF Democrats. He has long been one
of the foremost leaders in the great or
ganization which is proud to trace its ex-
istenee back to Thomas Jefferson. 1t is
no light thing, with such a career of eff
fort and devotion behind one, to contem-
plate the severance of lifelong ties and
to feel the obligation to engage in deadly
hostility with a party on which one has
heretofore based all ones hopes of the
couptry's greatness and freedom. Such
a change must cause a wrench to the
heartstrings which 1t takes no small cour-
age to endure.
But, asSMr. McDermott points out it is
the Democratic organization which de-
serts the faith of the founders of the
Party and not he, in case the Chicago
Convention adopt the canon of free silver.
He remains no less a Democrat than be-
fore. n when the Party passes through
the period Of eclipse which Tnlman, Alt
geld n other designing traitors are
bringing Upon it, he will remain one of
the true prophets from whose voice it
may gain hope and confidence, one of the
true leaders to lead it once again to su-
premacy in the councils of the nation, a
regenerate Democracy, fervent in its de-
votion to the principle of the fathers, first
among which was public honor.

IN addition to its high patriotic tone,
Mr.. McDermott's address is remarkable
for its lucidity. its accuracy and its fin
atty. In all hat has been written or
said on this subject, we do not recall hav-
ing seen. anywhere, so clear. complete
and conclusive a statement of the case
against silver put in such concise form.
Mr.. McDermott has taken out the kernel
Of the controversy. He has set it be-
fore the people in so clear a light that
not even a child can miss the truth.
We recommend Democrats-and Republic
cans, too-young and old, to cut this state
ment out and carry it around with them,
get it by heart. in fact; and make it an
article in their Democratic creed. so long
as a shadow of reputation heresy i'm

the trustees of the schools have short

make it imperative that the taxes be cut

drug as a substitute for alcohol.

VAR AND COMMERCE.

lessons Taught by the Long Conflict Be-
tween England and France.
tFrom the Nineteenth Century,
War with France opened in 1898 and
was protracted, with the exception of
the short break due to the peace of
Amiens for twenty-five years. We
started with 1903 ships, of 1,54o,oO0
tons, manned by one hundred and eigh-
teen thousand men, and with navy OF
one hundred and forty-one ships of the
line, one hundred and fifty frigates
and one hundred and twenty nine
small vessels. We had to deal with
thoroughly inefficient enemy, disorgan-
lied by revolution and distracted by in
festival quarrels. From the first hour
of war our military superiority was un-
challenged. The declaration of war,
however caused a very serious con-
traction of trade There were many
failures, and q temporary loan of five
million pounds was necessary to avert
panic. This measure has a most salu-
tary effect, and only G3S55,000 was APP
piled for Early in the struggle the at
tack upon our commerce began Ships
of war and privateers Of all sorts fell
upon it, RoWboats put off to mer
chantmen lying becalmed in the chan
mel or under the Forelands and carried
them by boarding. Surcouf in the East
Indies swept into his net not only help
less sailing ships, but also large and
heavily armed Indiamen. In 1905 the
Rochefort squadron got to set and took
in five months four warshipS and forty
two merchantmen. I'm $780, says the
Naval Chronicle, quoted by Captain
Mahan, signals were ont almost every
day at Dover on account of the enemy's
privateers appearing in sight" In 1900
the same authority tells u.s. there were
eighty-seven large French privateers
in the channel ports Of France alone
From first to last the French captured
eleven thousand ships, with their car
goes worth two hundred million
pounds, a toll of two and one-half per
cent. at the very least on our trade.
At first sight this loss does not look
particularly heavy, and it certainly
| had no effect upon the issue of the war.
1t was only so much property that
might, if spared, have added to our
wealth. We annihilated French trade,
| so that Napoleon could not even send a
cookie boat to sea, as he himself con-
| fessed. and we captured no less than
| 1881 privateers, carrying 9,400 guns,
manned by 50 900 men. Thus we lost
an average of five hundred and fifty
| ships a year, and took less than fifty.
| five a year of the depredators. Neu-
! trails, it will be observed, lost by peace
and gained by war. From 1890 to 1898
| the average clearance of neutral ship
ping was under two hundred thousand
| tons.
