TAMMANY on Tor.

Tammany unquestionably has the whip
hand in the Greater New York municipal
contest up to this writing and the Repub-
llcans are alarmed.
The Brooklyn Eagle. which IS an honest,
independent journal, says that the Demo-
Gratis are likely TO win, because they are
conducting their canvass with spirit. en-
ergy. good temper and decorum. while the
Republicans are in a great turmoil.
The Mail aud Express Is making a
strong plea tor harmony, and warns the
Tammany opposition that division means
defeat. It urges the Citizens Union and the
Republican Committee TO adjust their diff
ferences and concentrate their strength
on Seth Low.
But while counsellng harmony on one
hand, II Is still trying to make discord in
the ranks of Tammany by urging the free
silver contingent TO assert its independ-
ence and stand for free silver, in defiance
of the dictum Of Tammany.
1t appears to us from this distance
however that the Mail and Express is ac-
compllshing very little in restoring har-
mony on the one hand, and making dis
cord on the other.
Tammany is perhaps the best managed
political organization in the world Its
leaders are men who make a business Of
politics. and the opposing elements will
have a tough job to defeat Tammany
even under favorable conditions. With
discord as Il exists IN their own ranks,
Tammany is sure to win hands down.

a Big Fight win Be Made to Cut Off Extra
Appropriation.
Among the big fights in the next Iegis-
latuTe will be the one on motion to r.-

100000 to 100000, or to repeal the

lhat such motion will be made is

81, Every state official who is in any
way related to the states finances is

ae directed the state to raise by ex-
Ira taxation in the year 1898.

DIS the purse strings of the state and
ao"S better than anyone else how
,,lng is the need of economy, said:
No one believes more than do that
J much money cannot be righrfully

sent time it is a most unwise thing to
increase such expenditures, aud | think
s extra appropriation made by the
">1 legislature was particularly unf0Tt-
mate one. The state should take care

and do not believe that in times like
.4eSe the taxpayer feels like removing
DIS child from the school that costs him
sJyO year and placing him at a $1,000
school, yet that is just what the state of
Georgia is doing"
The question of raising school funds
IS one which is agitating the present ad-
N'nistration a good deal, as we'll as the
gaHous county school boards throughout
me state. The present system is annoy
nag and vexatious to all concerned, and
mere iSlittle doubt that system of local

s,".e, will have to be inaugurated at an
early day. Gov. Atkinson is in favor of
s~oh a system and so is School Commits
S.oner Glenn, who, in his report to the

scheme.
