THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

Ordinarily school elections IN Iucscn
are very tame affairs, but that OF Satur-
day is remarkable for the intense inter-
est taken and as suchis without parsrell
in the history of the town. Strangely
enough politics were eliminated from
the struggle and for the first time dem
ocrats and republicans Joined hands and
faced more serious issue-the preserve
tion of public schools from clerical inter-
ference. There were but two candidates
in the field for the vacant trusteeship,
both were republicans, highly respec-
ted, of conceded ability and admitted
ly-if left to themselves-tbe schools
would have been safe in either hands.
Most unfortunately, however, q question
that will not again down, was unwisely
allowed to enter-a conflict between
church and state.
The American people are justly proud
OF their public schools-one of the grand
est institutions on esrth-and which
they rightly regard as the bulwark and
foundation of republican liberties and
any attempted interference with them,
however intentioned, ia provocative OF
hostility and bitter resentment. Con-
eeauently when it became known that
the Catholic clergy in this city were
pushing the interests OF DR.. Odermatt
as against those of his opponent. DIR.
Whitmore, it aroused most determin.
ed and formidable opposition.
The action of the church was justi-
fed under the plea that the A. P. A.
were behind Dr.. Whitmore, and that if
elected the two Catholic teachers, now
in the schools, would not be re-employ-
ed. This was foolish fear for the rea-
son that without the consent and sup
port of Knox Corbett or Capt. Grey
the tive holdover trustees-Dr. Whit
more would be poweIless to act. But
DR.. Whitmore is too good citizen to be
influenced by religious preferences, and
he stated to the writer, when refuting
these charges, that with him it would be
fitness for the work of the school room
and not question of cathecism. But,
for the sake of argument, granting that
he would have done as charged, the &C.
tion of the Catholic clergy is still with
out the measure of justification and was
80 regarded. A. P. A. or no A. p. a.
the church made the issue and the end
is not yet. That such question should
have been provoked no one regrets it
more profoundly than we do.
Now, so far as the A. P. A. is con-
cerned, we do not known that such or
ganizstIon exists here. We have heard
said that it does and again we have
heard Its existence es strenuously de-
MED, but whether this be true or not
there was q greater influence at work on
Saturday than any organization can
ever hope to WELD. 1t was the bold
etand of American men and women in
behalf of that grand and glorious insti-
tuition the public schools. Plainly they
said by their verdict, which was given in
no uncertain tones, that outside inter-
ference with public school management
would not be tolerated. This lesson with,
all due respect to religion, can be profit
ably read by all denominations.

WAS there ever such finRnciering as
this? The administration is now en-
deavoring by two methods to prevent
the expectation of gold from this coun-
try. One is by charging an extra pre-
MUM on gold bars in order to Offset
recent rise in the price paid by the
bank of England for gold. This is
good deal like trying to dam Niagara
Falls with pitchfork. The other is to
pull government deposits out of the
favored national banks in New York,
which have enjoyed them without il
terest, in order to make money
famine in that financial center, and so
raise the rate of interest ss to make it
an object for foreign lenders to keep
loanable funds in New York. Of course
any rise in the rate of interest must in
varIsbly affect all short time loans and
as the national banks of this country
keep outstanding more than 81 SOC, 000,-
600 of such loans constantly, an advance
OF even l per cent. in the losning rate
would impose an additional tax Of $780,
100000 q year on the borrowers who
patronize these banks. The increased
interest would go into toe pockets of the
bankers, and the people could only
obtain the use of the money again by
borrowing il at the higher rate forced
upon them by the Administrations crazy
efforts to maintain the single gold
standard. The nation has already been
burdened during the psst fourteen
months with new bonded debt, which,
principal and interest, will amount to
more than s5Ol, 200, 600, to uphold the
gold standard, and now its business
interests will be taxed at the rate OF
$50, 100000 more through increased
interest rates for the same purpose.

THERE is an ice gorge ia the Hudson

and from eleven to forty feet high,
which is causing much apprehension.
Dynamite is discussed for breaking a
