BOARD OF EDUCATION CANDI-
DATES.

1t will not be very long before there
is an election of members of the board
OF eduction in this city, in fact, new
board throughout will be elected, two
members for each municipal ward
There are really no more important
offices in the whole city to fill than
these The board has the administer
ing of large funds and also has charge
of maintaining the efficiency of the
schools. For these and many other
reasons that might be given, it is es
sential that none but the best citizens
be put on the board, citizens who have
the educational welfare of the city at
heart. To have this welfare it is not
at all necessary that they be inclined
to extravaganza. There should be
economy in the management of the
schools. as in all other public affairs,
but economy does not mean parsimony
by any means; it is possible to have
in the management penny wisdom and
pound foolishness; no such wisdom is
wanted.
When it comes to selecting citizens to
serve as members of the school board,
no one should be selected in convention
or voted for at the polls who is not
positively in favor of maintaining the
present standard of efficiency in the
schools; and every one who may pre-
sent himself as a candidate should be
asked to define his position in this par
ticular There are positions of more
profit in the city than that of a mem
Der of the school board, but there is
none of more honor and Importance
Nominate and elect as members of the
school board none but those who are
known as friends and champions of
the schools; to elect any others might
work an injury to them.

feudal organization she is going con-
trary to her destiny. The old feudalism
was supplanted by the Capitalization of
power in the hands of monarch The
feudalism Of wealth may be overcome
by centralizing the power in the hands
of the people.
Another retrogression is the depar-
ture from simple style Of living and
the DrOdigious- attempts to draw class
distinctions Today we are conspicuous
among the nations for our lack of SIM
plicity of living and our desire for So
cial position. Wealth is made the meas
ure.
There is need of a revival in political
affairs. Politically we have fallen on
barren times. 1t is an affectation OF the
cultured classes to assume disregard
for patriotism. There is need for an
awakening Of genuine patriotism. Re
demption comes not by form. but by
spirit. There is imperative need of q
revIving force 10 awaken the nation to
founders.
There is much truth in this, though
doubtless some would say that it is
nothing but modified form of anarch-
istic doctrines. There are class distinc-
lions growing up and wealth is gradu-
ally obtaining a power in the direction
of our political institutions that would
have been considered by the founders
of the republic grave menace to it,;
and they would have considered it so
very properly. a return to the ideals
Of the fathers is what is wanted.

sent there by the secretary of the
treasury some years before and were
stored in the attic of the building in

them out, set them up and put them in

shape to entertain almost any kind Of
mob. I do not anticipate that any
man or body Of men intends to attack
the sub-treasury at Chicago, nor do
anticipate that any burglar is prepar-
ing to enter my house, but 1 do think
a government as we'll as an individual
should take ordinary precautions for
the protection of property.
In way that recalls Othello's de-
Tense before the Venetian senate and
how he ran through the story of his
life. The country does not appreciate
the general of the army as it should.

A republic may be preserved and yet

alternative but an oligarchy or mill

We hold that the establishment of
this government represented a step for

which we believe will abide. no matter
how the outward form may change. We
should contend against retrogression,

TRAUMEREI.

Would 1 could catch and utter
Or show revealed to sight.
The little thoughts that fiutter
About my bed at night;
The little thoughts that haunt me,
And in my dreams enchant me,
But fly away and taunt me
AT breaking of the light.
There's one that flames all crimson.
Like ruby crystal streams,
Or Ike q sun that swims on
Low banks of Western beams:
There's one that murmurs sweetly
And lulls the sense com Gletely,
There's one that leads me featg
Through labyrintils of dreams.
Another breatles of lilies
That grow in gardens Old,
OF thyme and daffodiliieS,
OF harebells on the void;
A fifth is full of noises
That well like woodland voices,
When Philomel rejoices
With liquid notes of gold.
And some are COLLINS eerie,
And some are maidens fair,
That DER my eyelids weary
Wave clouds of dazzling hair,
But when | wake to clip them,
Nor hand nor bran can grip them,
The elfin rogues unsiip them,
And laughing turn to air.

said: This is the driest ticket that the

1.-The effort to turn the recent city
election into partisan channel, de-
spite the popular voice declared
against partisanship, is both impudent
and ridiculous. The verdict of the peo-
pie must stand" says the Tribune. Out
of a total of twenty city officials elect
ed last Tuesday. the comparisons
elected five. Does this indicate that
the popular voice was against partisan
ship? On an average. there were two
votes cast for partisan candidates to
one vote cast for non-partisan candi-
dates. And when it comes to making
appointments, it is most probable that
non-partisan candidates will be thick

TWO HOTELS.

There were opened in New York last
week two of the finest hotels of their
kind in the world. The one is a palace
for the rich, the other is a palace for
the poor. To enjoy the hospitality of
the one a person must have wealth and
be without all solicitude for the NOR

to enjoy the hospitality of the other
few dimes are all that is necessary. The
one is known as the Astoria, and the

of much Importance and was so chron-

interesting to compare the menus of the
two hotels on the first day. AT The AS

guests was as follows:
