Seth Low on the Result.
,dltor Of the World:

To the Editor of the World:
1t Is not possible TO discuss the result in
New York City at the present moment
with much discrimination. A few things,
! think, stand out on the surface Of the
figures.
The year has been heavy Democratic
year everywhere. Tammany has felt the
advantage of this strong tendency.
think this circumstance shows the abso-
lutte necessity. II II also shows the DIFF
ficulty of separating municipal from
State and National Issues, II the cities
are ever 70 be governed on their merits.
In the light OF the event II IS clear that
the Citizens Union has made a gallant
fight for q principle that is vital II IS
better 10 have fought and lost In such a
cause than not 10 have fought at all.
There II no need to despair OF good
government i'm the city when such a strug-
gle could be made against such odds. The
returns show that there was no posi-
bllty of Republican success in the con-
test on party lines, nor Ia IL possible "a
imagine a time when in this city there
will be.
For the sake OF the city I greatly de-
plore the results: and yet l would urge
all whom my voice may influence not IA
lose heart. We have laid the founda-
lions at may well be hoped for future
successes; and ours is not the FIRST cause
that has suffered at the outset a heavy
loss.

THE MORALE OF JOURNALISM.

The Louisville Courer-Journal In its
last editorial utterance before the cleo
ton said
II Mr. Hindman gets a hundred thous-
and votes to-day or if he gets but ten,
the course Of the Courer-Journal will be
nowise changed. We shall go on. in reli-
gion preaching the Gospel Of Christ, and
Him crucihed; in politics. the doctrines Of
honest money, Home Rule and Free
Trade. If the party bosses do not follow
our lead, the worse for them. If the peo-
pie reject the sound principles we urge
upon them, they will be the sufferers.
The concrete things Of political life are
nothing TO us. 1T is ours to seek to ascer-
tain the truth and to proclaim It, not TO
call conventions, TO set up candidates and
TO carry elections.
There you have in a nutshell the true
morale OF Independent journalism-do the
right az you understand it, and leave the
results TO take care OF themselves. The
frst concern OF newspaper should be TO
ascertain what is right. A newspaper is
not necessarily right because II is homes.
and sincere in what it believes to p
right. AS somebody has said, "civiliza.
tion has suffered far more from wrong
headed integrity than ever could have
been possible from conscious knavery."
The newspaper that desires TO lead life
OF usefulness and 10 become a public ben.
efactor, must strive by careful study Of
public questions 10 ascertain what is best
for public morals and public veal, and
having reached n conclusion, its course IS
plain and its reward is sure. A news
paper, thus conducted. will often find It.
self out OF line with popular sentiment and
Will often In political contests be on the
losing side. But II it has done its duty
it will accept the result without disturb
ing its equanimity and. as Mr.. Watterson
has it, will leave others TO those costa
cies of Joy and grief. which are common
alike to the feeble-minded and the cor
rupt, and which, In the sum-total OF hu.
man experience are rarely verified either

that he travelled $40 miles in order TO

Jack" Montague. the first Danville man

The ministers of Atlanta are all taking

to say that when he was boy football
was not played as it is now.
Joe Atkinson. operator Of the Southern
railway at Columbia. s. c., swallowed

THE SCHOOLS MUST BE SUSTAINED.

In the name Of the people OF Richmond
The Times protests against the action OF
the Council in refusing to vote the neces-
sary appropriation to sustain the public
schools Of this city. We believe in popu-
lar education as a public blessing. We
believe in good buildings, good teachers,
and o full term, and we protest against
any false economy by which the schools
are stinted.
The schools Of Richmond are excellent
and there is a popular demand that their
high standard shall be maintained. The
schools belong TO the people and the pco-
pie are willing TO tax themselves and do
tax themselves TO sustain them. The
councilmen are the representatives Of the
people but they certainly do not represent
the wishes Of the people I'm refusing 10
appropriate funds necessary to the eff
cient and successful conduct OF the
schools
II was a most serious blunder to have
voted down this appropriation, and the
sooner the error is corrected, the better
it will be for all concerned. The people
OF Richmond are in earnest about this
matter and they will not be trlied with.
The schools are here and they are here
TO stay and the people who pay the taxes
are determined that they shall be liber-
ally supported.
