Grafton. To refuse abruptly to allow a cent for
new schoolhouscs police stations. etc. with the
idea of asking the Legislature TO allow bonds to
be issued for these purposes. is a short-Sshted
policy. even If 1t does result in keeping the tax
rate low. The city's need of more schoolhouses
Is great, and every effort should be made to
provide them as soon as possible 1t is obvious
also that with the growth of Brooklyn and addi-
tons to its territory reasonable increase in the
police force is requisite for the adequate pro-
lection Of life and property.

The merchandise exports for the month ex-

The difficulty in securing a jury for the trial
of Mrs. Fleming and the humiliating examina-
tons to which talesmen are subjected illustrate
the importance of the new law providing for
special juries in criminal trials of exceptional
importance, for the enactment of which we are
chiefly indebted to Justice Barrett. 1t Is to be
regretted that the machinery for the carrying
Of this law into effect was not provided in time
to enable such jury to be impaneed in this
case. We should then have escaped the scenes
which have been enacted in the Recorders court
for several days. and which have brought into
contempt the existing methods for the selection
Of jurors.

Mayor Strong discharged an important duty
yesterday In the appointment Of 175 school in
spectors-fve for each Of the thrty-five districts
into which the city has been divided by the
Board of Education. The selections as a whole
are to be commended some Of them will be seen
at glance to be conspicuously good Forty-fve
OF the former trustees and twelve Of the former
inspectors are included in the list, and the city
will get the benefit Of their experience in school
matters. Thirty-seyen Of the inspectors. or a
little more than One-ffth are women. The
Mayor declares that he considered neither poll
tics nor religion In choosing the inspectors. 1t
Is to be hoped that the inspectors will regard
neither religion nor politics in the performance
Of their duties

The era Of cheap fares on the trolley-cars to

irduced many rufiians from this city to cross the

a large estimate Of the amount of such sec'irl-
ties held in foreign countries be accepted. IL Is
obvious that material part Of the apparent
balance settled b. shipments Of gold and silver
is due to the heavy undervaluations OF imports,
from which 1t results that the apparent excess
Of exports OF merchandise Is not real excess
Thus the reported value Of imports for the ten
months was 5000, 49,, O62, but there Is little rea-
son TO doubt that the actual value, the sum
which the country has to pay TO foreigners Tor
the goods thus officially reckoned. was consid
erably more than this sum, and probably Sloo-
100000 more Instead Of the apparent excess
of exports on merchandise account. there was
in all probability some excess OF imports NOT

A SURPRISE AT ACTON.
Twenty-Five Hundred People Greeted
Mr.. ONerstreet There.

One of the biggest surprises IN this cam
paign of surprises was in store for several
Republicans who left here last night to at
tention originally to hold the meeting il,
the Town Hall, building that will seat
perhaps six hundred people. Acton is a
Democratic village in a Democratic town
ship, and consequently no one expected a
very big turnout. But long before the time
for the meeting to begin it was apparent
that the Town Hall would not be large
enough and arrangements were hastily
made for open-air meeting. Great
crowds of people drove in from the sur
rounding country, Big delegattons, at
from Southport, New Bethel. Rock Lane
Boggstown and Collins Corner. At the
lowest estimate $500 people were there. The
open-air meeting was held in the commons
back of the depot. It was too late TO try
farm wagon was used for that purpose
Torches which had been carried in the
torch-light procession were used to furnish
lights and they threw lurid glare over
the crowd, or flared in the faces of the
speakers.
The meeting in the hall was presided over
by j. w. Fesler. who introduced Jesse
Overstreet. Representative from this dis
trict. While Mr.. Overstreet was speaking
in the hall other speakers spoke at the
where John Hamlin presided. At times
shouts from the meetings intermingled
Both meetings were addressed by MeSSrs.
Overztreet, H. c. Allen, Charles S. Wiltsie
and John McGregor, and both meetings
were characterized by much enthusiasm,
and the close attention given the speakers
indicates that the voters in the rural dis
tricts are thoroughly in earnest.

Garyer's Body from River

Six days have passed since Mrs. Philin
Carver, of Haughville disappeared. and
still no clew to her whereabouts has been
obtained, and though parties have been en-
gagged dragging the river every day since
she disappeared, their efforts have been
without avail. When the searchers on the
river ceased their labors last night thew
had established their cable, which is still
being used, near the bend in the river about
two blocks below the bridge. According to
their expressions last night they intend to
use dynamite in the river early this morn
ing IL they can secure permission. One or
two charges will be DISCHARGED above and
several below the bridge, in hopes that
the explosions will raise the body TO the
surface.

THE TESTIMONY OF GOVERNOR
MATTHEW'S.

The Sentinel of yesterday contained a
statement from Governor Matthews, nearly
a column in length, in which he tried to
describe the magnitude of the popular
uprising for Bryan in this State and to
foreshadow the size of the majority he
would receive. AS the statement was a
written one it doubtless embodied the Gov
ernor's best efforts to depict the truth re-
garding Bryans greatness as it was borne
| in upon his mind Four months ago, if the
Governor had been asked who William
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, was, he
would probably have answered that he
never heard of him. Now he finds him the
greatest man of the age. He is wonder
full man." says the Governor, ''and never
before had a full conception of his pow
ers." He also says 1.-The people are with
him. and that he draws Republicans and
Democrats after him by thousands. 1.-The
women, too" says the Governor have
taken UP the fight and are as enthusiastic
as the men," The Governor does not name
the exact figures of Mr.. Bryan's majority
in the State, but he says "he will carry it
by large majority, which will be de-
cisive." The Governors enthusiasm cannot
be accounted Tor by saying that Mr.. Bryan
''hoodooed" him. The question is what
did it? What is there about Mr.. Bryan
that convinced the Governor that he is
such a wonderful man? The secret. is
probably disclosed in the following, also
from the Sentinel of yesterday:
Don't you know that / believe that Bry-
ans ability to eat is a large factor in his
success" said a gentleman who accom-
panied the presidential candidate as far as
LogansDort on his northern Indiana trip
When the train reached Upton d man
there presented Mr.. Bryan with one of the
sixteen inches in circumference and was
almost as thick through the other way
Mr.. Bryan sat down and ate that apple
without stopping and with the utmost con-
summate relish. You can't down A man
who has an appetite like that"
Governor Matthews accompanied Mr.
Bryan to Logansport, and this statement
evidently came from him. 1t was Bryan's
mouth that convinced him of Bryan's
greatness, of his fitness for the presidency
and of the certainty of his election
Perhaps this is not surprising. No
mouth even from distance can ever for
get it. A near view must be correspond
ingly more impressive, and to see it in
action must be enough to convince any
person of its owners greatness. OF course
the Governor exaggerated the size of the
apple which he says Mr.. Bryan ate. If it
was sixteen inches in circumference it
could only have been a fraction over five
inches in diameter. That would be a large
| apple, and yet have the Governor
word that Mr.. Bryan sat down and ate
| that apple without stopping, and with the
utmost consummate relish.r This is truly
wonderful. The Governor evidently thought
so. for he says, You can't down a man
who has appetite like that" Here we
| have the secret of the Governors eRthusi-
asm over the Popocrat candidate and of

BRYAN PREDICTED A PANIC.

1t has been denied that Mr.. Bryan has
ever said that the independent free coinage
of silver by this country would cause a
panic. 1t can be denied no longer. In an
address at Mt. Vernon, ILL.,. March II. 1896,
Mr.. Bryan said: THE FREE COINAGE
OF SILVER WOULD PRODUCE A PANIC
FOR AT LEAST a TIME
The Louisville Courier Journal has the
affidavits of II. F. Stephenson, George L..
Ore, j. F. McKelsy. John c. Narnel l.. n.
Beal and James Hebburn all reputable
and responsible citizens of Mt. Vernon,
who heard Mr.. Bryans speech. The, affi-
davits of these men bear the seal of a
properly qualified notary public.
Moreton Frewen. secretary of the English
Bimetallic League, as before stated, has
said: Il have no doubt that the immediate
effect of the election of Bryan would pre-
cipitate tremendous panic" 1t has since
been stated that Mr.. Frewen is interested
in silver mines in this country.
The local free-silver organ has also de-
clared that the free coinage of silver would
plunge this country into panic such as it
has never witnessed.
Simply to double the wealth of a. hundred
silver millionaixes and multi-millionaires,
close thousands of factories and cause
thousands of bankruptcies?
Is such panic good thing to have?
