DISGRACE TO NEW YORK.

When the public schools Of New York
opened Monday the buildings were
crowded, and thousands Of children
were turned away. That is the usual
condition of things in the metropolis of
the United States.
1t is unnecessary to 60 farther to es-
tablish as bad case against New York
as the most envious Chicagoan could
wish. All the world has been told, for
the last two years or more, how clean
the streets Of the greatest American city
were being kept and how the refOrma-
ton of various departments Of the
municipal government had been car
rled 10 complete success. Much Of what
was said by proud New Workers was
true, but it all fails to balance the
shameful inadequacy Of the city's free
schools Public education has been al
lowed to run down so low in the larg
est city Of the hemisphere that if it
were not for church and private schools
a very large part Of the children of
school age could get no school training
whatever. In city that has so mixed
n population that the Americanizing
influence Of the common schools is very
greatly needed, the best of all agencies
for making thOrough-going and loyal
Americans. tit for the duties of freemen,
has been suffered 10 sink below the
level of the schools in almost any other
important city in the United States.
AS long as the leading citizens of New
York permit this crime against their
country TO go on they must expect to
face grave dangers from class hatred
and misunderstanding and from the
political power and activity of the most
offensive and demoralizing elements in
the population of the metropolis. The
neglect Of the public school, in a coun-
try like this, is form of folly sure to
yield bitter fruit.

| threat 1t may be said that his plan is
to encourage others to violent action
But, as matter of fact, this is possible
only in times of extreme public excite.
ment, and, in times of extreme public
excitement, the military, drawn from
the public itself, always ready.
Consequently it is best to let the agi-
tator howl. He is harmless. He will
speedily howl himself out of breath and
subside.
But the nation is getting exceedingly
winds who are forever snorting that
this country is worse than other coun-
tries. If they don't like the nation why
don't they move out? They might go
to Spain, and be garroted for a chance
remark to friend; they might go to
Italy and live peasants life to sustain
rich and useless royal house; they
might go to Germany, and be humili-
ated into paying homage to a young
fool emperor or be subjected 10 the in
suits of his soldiers; or TO Russia, where
the car is absolute and can order them
to lifelong exile without preliminary,
trial or excuse; or to France, where they
would be classed and would keep their
places, or to England, where they would
be exposed to the insolence of domin-
eering nobility, or to Ireland, which is
starving today; or 10 Mexico, where the
president is all but king and free
speech is not permitted.
The idiots who cumber this country
with sadness in their hearts because it
is not good enough should move out.
We don't want them here. We are too
good for them and theirs. A narrow,
absolute monarchy, with an imperial
ruler who will not let them speak in re-
preach Of their country, when they lack
the patriotic respect to do so themselves

FUN OF FIGHTING FACTS

Bryan has not made very strong ex'
PLANTATION of the disparity between the
fluctuations in the price of wheat and
the price of silver. But he has attempt
ed an explanation, and therein is OBJ
served a marked feature of the western
character.
That characteristic is to wade into a
condition which is against you and try
10 knock it galley-west. Last fall Bry-
an did say that the prices of silver and
the price of wheat fiuctuated together,
and from their companionship drew
many economical lessons. He preached
il far and near. He felt SO certain that
what he preached was true that should
he be proved false in that one thing he
felt his judgment in everything would
he impeached The election came and
he was defeated. Like all his followers
he settled back to see the Republicans
writhe in the torture Of four years space
of uninterrupted hard times. The peo-
ple had not elected him, but Bryan ex
pectsd the events Of the four years fol-
lowing his defeat to demonstrate that
his theory Of economics was correct. He
was blandly. herOically confident that
he was right and that right would tri-
umph. 1t was not long until events, in
stead of travelling in his direction, sud
denly turned against him. To his
great establishment no bond issue fol-
lowed McKinley'S inauguration. To
his greater establishment wheat began
TO increase in price. and to his greatest
marvel silver kept on dropping. A con-
dition, a simple condition of supply and
demand, pure event Of the daily mar
ket quotation had put him out AT that
time he was in the mountains. Pres
emily he came out from among the crags
and plunged into an explanation. He
began to fight the condition. He jump
ed into it with both feet OF rhetoric and
painted wordiness. But the condition
which put him down was uninjured and
unchanged. Il is still there. Still, If
called upon tomorrow, Bryan would
have no hesitancy in attacking it again.
This is not new with Bryan. The
whole west remembers how John J. |
Engalls met a condition when he was
sentenced to private life. His defeat
was inevitable. He knew 1t. He I'M |
derstoDd that the situation was en- |
phatically against him But he lowered |
his head and butted into il.
Among the eastern men of promin- |
soce there is no such thing. The east |
ern statesman when a condition is
against him retires into his shell until |
conditions change or people forget He |
arms himself with dignity. He explodes
ponderOus aphoriSms which mean moth
ing or anything. He talks OF other
things and with imperial grace waves
aside his past record
This kind Of conduct would not be toll |
Grated in the west West of the Missis-
sippi river when man has been put |
lin the hole" the people expect and de-
mand that he make some sort of explain
alton And, strangely enough, they
forgive him his past error. 10 a great
extent, If he VIII but make a gallant
effort TO stand by his cause. no matter
how feeble and ridiculous il may have
become.
