Too MUCH AUTHORITY The PEo-
PIES COMPLAINT.
Some for years ago the poor
teachers in the public schools OF
this city were terronized by a certain
class of trustees. These men
would compel teachers to submit to
them or pay them a bonus for pro
motions. If they were too poor to
pay they were compelled to sacrl-
flee there virtue. Conditions have
since changed The arbitrary
power of the board has been dele
gated from the trustees to the su-
pervising principals, who now seem
to own our schools. 1t is a general
complaint among some teachers, of
the tvranical and ARBITRARY power
of some of the surprising prlnci-
nails For some time there
has been a personal fight against
Miss Grace Dyson, until 1t
has resulted in her transfer and re-
duction. What does it means: Is
fayoritism to control the public
schools Of this city:

Ohio possesses too much dlscrlmln-
ating horse-sense to allow himself
to be led off by fox-fire, and will
certainly show his fidelity and con-
sistency by voting the straight re-
publican ticket. The anti civil
service-all-for Office get-it- or bust
convention which it is said will soon
meet in Ohio to denounce the policy
of the administration, has been
suggested by the tramp cement of
this city, aided by few kickers'in
other cities but it will be this g
likely to die :" a bornin," at best
cut but very sJrry figure and re-
suit in the ignominious defeat of
the projectors. If reports are worth
anything, Hanna will secure the
legislature and be reelected United
States Senator for full term. The
BEE certainl, predicts that Ohio
will roll up the necessary majority,
and thus demonstrate in the old
time way its devotion to good poll
tics and good men.
