infectious, incurable diseases, sometimes
without any previous notice to the su-
perintendent as required by law. have
found their way to this institution. He
continues;
"A few generalltles In the way of evil
dence-declaratIons that might be made
concerning 10000 other boys In the state
whom nobody ever would think of send
ing here-and the boy is safely ensconced
in the school. This is base imposition
upon the school and the people who
cheerfully support It. not as founding
asylum or home for idiots or incura-
bles, but as reformatory. 1t all shows
between the lines a deliberate plan to
have boys fed, clothed, doctored and edu-
Gated at the expense of the state, though
there may be no reason for sending them
to the school. This often crowds out
boys who ought to be here. and Is an
abuse of the law and a misuse OF the in
stitution. which should not be permitted
w hAI NiNli duNIloEFlleS.
II appears that the parents OF the boys
referred to by the superintendent, go be-
fore the justice of the peace and swear
that these infants. too young to know
right from wrong, are uncomfortable,
vicious, thieves and criminals, merely
for the sake OF having them supported
and educated by the state. The fault
seems to lie with the justices who COM
nit these children. "A person whose
judgment is so barron" says the Reform
School News, that he cannot detect the
difference between a nursing babe or
child idiot and a child criminal should
be pulled down from the throne OF JUS
tlce."
These abuses OF an institution which
was designed only as a reformatory for
incorrlgible, vagrant, vicious boys, and
TO make good and useful citizens of them,
have been going on, 1t appears from the
superintendent statement, for some
time, and the board of directors has been
forced to take action that will doubtless
remove the difficulty. 1t has been pro-
vided that hereafter before boy Is re-
celved into the school the papers of COM
mltment must be forwarded to the super
lntendent, and that the papers shall be
examined and passed upon by the execu-
tive committee of the board of directors.
This should have the desired effect, and
cure the allment which the school has
been suffering from, Much of the abuse
has no doubt been due to mlsapprehen-
sion as to the real nature of the reform
school, and the superintendent article
will call the attention of the authorities
to the matter In way that will make
them more careful in future in issuing
commitment papers.

New York is about to realize the mis-
take 1t made in handing over the govern
ment of the greater city to Boss Croker
and his corrupt Tammany gang. Croker
is already showing his hand It Is an
nounced that the boss will block the I'M
foreground rapid transit scheme which
promises so much to the people of the
city in the way of solving serious prob
lem. In doing this Croker has not the
public interest at heart. That is not a
habit of his, It appears that he has
large interests in the elevated and sur
face roads in New York and that they,
with the interests of other rich men, will
be jeopardlzed by the building OF the
rapid transit system.
There are also two political interests
of Tammany in general and the Tam
many boss in particular that will suffer
II the transit project goes through. Tam
many, so 1t is charged, would be de
prived of SS5,OOO,OOO OF plcklngs that
would be tied UP In rapid transit out Of
political reach, and many political Jobs
thereby headed on" Another reason
for blocking rapid transit, on Croker's
part, is personal revenge against John C.
sheehan, the bosss political rival, who
has chance for getting the contract for
construction It Is stated that there are
dozen different methods Of delaying
the rapid transit scheme and of defeating
It. It is within, the Tammany boss's
power to control the situation.
This IS what the people of Greater New
York have to contemplate as the result
of returning to corrupt Tammany rule
and handing over the city government
to the dlctauon OF Croker, whose millions
were stolen from the public when he held
the relgns of power before, 1t seeiaG
that he Is started out early 10 resume
business on the old line, and as this an
nouncement Of his programme with re-
ference to the rapid transit matter is only
sample of what may be expected,
Greater New York has certainly a not
very cheerful outlook ahead.

Strange Schemes" are well known to
the public from their exploitation in ev-
cry newspaper of note in the country,
and Mr.. Post has chosen to follow In
the same lines In THE Man of Last Re-
sort" He Is really to be congratulated
In achieving success In field of strlk-
ing novelty, and in giving us something
to read without leaving bad taste In
the mouth. The emotionless and cal
culating lawyer, Randolph Mason, Is
again the central figure in Mr.. Posts
new book. and he makes him a study
OF unusual power and human interest,
In his preface the author replies In a
felIcitous manner to those carplng crit
les who affected to see evil result from
the Strange Schemes of Randolph
Mason" Mr.. Post could, with the same
logic, reply to these so-called moral re-
formers by suggesting that the pulpit
be abolished because the minister. tn

"his duty, points out to his flock the

"Ahoat on The Ohio" by Reuben
Gold Thwaites. secretary of the state
historical society OF Wisconsin, is the
story of a journey down the Ohio river,
starting from Brownsville, Pa. In his
preface, the author says. This object In
taking this trip, was to gather local
color for work in western hlstory-to
see with my own eyes what the border-
ers saw; in imagination, to redress the
pioneer stage, and re-neople It," All or
which was very laudable, but 1t seems
the subject was beyond the abilities of
the writer He gets gay in his descrip-
ton OF Wheeling. by designating 1t as
"a town Of $4,000 inhabitants, substan-
TALLY built, of distinctly southern as
pect." Southern aspect Is good. In
what particular pray? And where did
he find the extra 10000 inhabitants?
Then he says that wheeling Island to-
day is thlck-set with cottages OF fac
tory hands and small villas, and COM

Way & Williams, Chicago.
A new history of the United States
by John Bach McMasters, one of the
foremost historians of the country, is
work that will attract universal atten-
ton. 1t avoids on theone hand undue To-
call pride, which tends to narrowness'
on the other n too intense national pa
triotism which tends to Jlngolsm. Free
from either extreme, the work Is at
tractive for home reading, Is condensed
for library reference, and is trust
worthy for mere school instruction. The
book is vigorous In style, as well as In
matters Industrial. and mechanical; and
while free from political sectionalism,
1t Is fearless In handling facts not al
ways flattering to national vanity. 81

OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Unnnimity on Principles, Wide Diff
EerenCee on Men.

EerenCeH wen.
Columbus. OHIO, july Tine demo-
cratic state convention held here yester
day was one OF the most memorable po-
litical occasions in the history of Ohio.
1t was a convention OF unanimity of prin
ciples and differences on men, and espec
tally on those who were candidates for
the places on the state ticket In the
contest for favorites it was a test of en-
durance, and the delegates took no recess
and were in session continually from 10
a. IN. until late hour at night. 1t was a
free silver convention throughout. Every
candidate whose name was presented was
announced as orthodox on silver, and the
silver doctrine was the cardinal principle
for favorable consideration. While there
were some differences of opinion about
adopting the antitrust and the Cuban
resolutions. there was not a dissenting
voice i'll the convention to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of
l6 to ! without the cooperation of any
other nation. And the name of w. j.
Bryan was mentioned in some way by
every speaker as the only sure way of
bringing out a chorus of applause.
While there was no place on the state
ticket accorded to silver republicans or
populists yet both elements cO-operated
in the convention and an informal fusion
was temporarily perfected. The silver re-
publicans and populists are responsible
for having no representatives on the tick
ct, as they would not ask it, and stated
they were more interested in the platform
than in the Offices
The ticket nominated by the democ-
racy of Ohio is;
Governor-Honce /. Chapman.
Lieutenant governor - Helville d..
Shaw.
Attorney general-W. H. Dore.
State reasurer-James T., Wilson.
Member board of public works-Peter
II. Degman.
School commissioner-B. II. Hard.
In addition to the state ticket nOmi-
mated there is an implied arrangement for
John Mclean for senator, with the state
candidates as well as the party organiza-
ton for him.
The silver republicans held confer
ence at night and expressed Indignation.
They said it was true they had announc-
ed they did not want a place on the state
ticket, but the announcement was not
made until after they were told they
could not have it. They nominated a
separate ticket. The populist also an
nounced they would hold state conven-
ton and have a separate ticket. The pro
hibitionists will have a separate ticket, SC
there will be at least six state tickets in
the field
