them and conducted them through the

seventeen volumes. Some one jestingly

oIR CRowDED SCHOOLS.

If any argument were needed for be-
ginning at once and pushing with the
utmost expedition the work of building
a new charter for st. Paul, it would
be found in the condition of our pub
lie schools. The buildings are crowded
to an extent that precludes good in
struction, and that threatens not only
the comfort but the health of the
pupils. With our standing boast of
public educational system that in
cludes all, and with an interest and
pride that are universal in the eX-
cellence and progress of the system,
the facilities for school work are far
behind the demands made upon them.
The worst of it is that this arises, not
out of an indispositiOn Of our people to
provide for public education, not out
of hard times or insufficient public
revenue, but out of an iron-bound
clause in our city charter, which may
not be either amended or repealed.
Until a new charter is framed and
adopted, we can have no more revenue
collected than a tax of 21a mills will
furnish. That tax is levied on our es-
tablished valuation of property, which
has been so decreased by cur assessor,
confirmed by the action OF the board
of equalization, as to furnish scanty
revenue for employing the present
number of teachers and keeping the
present number of buildings in condi-
ton for occupancy.
The only way to meet this situation
and to provide adequate school accom-
modations is by the adoption Of new
charter. Bad as the conditions of things
are today, it will be worse next year,
and still worse the following. With
the increase Of population that has
come to us from natural growth, and
with the still larger increase that is
now going forward as a result of i'm
proved business conditions in st. Paul.
" What are we to do with these
children? The injustice Of having
halliday sessions in part of the build
ings is manifest. The wrong of COM
pelling from 50 to 100 children to be
placed under one instructor, who can
not possibly attend to them all, is
equally apparent.
There is but one way of escape, and
that is by providing the proper num-
Der of sittings and making the teach
ing force equal to the demands upon it.
To do that we must have revenue
sufficient to conduct the schools when
administered with the utmost economy.
That revenue is dependent absolutely
upon securing a new charter. Let it
be remembered that, if this is not done
at the time of the next spring election,
il will have to go over to November,
1898; in which case nothing can be
done until the tax levy Of the following
wear 1S99 is completed. This means
that it will be the end Of the century
before our schools are relieved from
the conditions now imposed; intoler-
allie to all who are connected with
them, and general Impairment of
their efficiency and their work. OF all
the voices that clamor today for char
ter reform. and that demand instant
action. none is louder than the chorus
Of little children, whose privileges and
whose rights are neglected and denied.

of money out of active circulation, no
matter how you dispose of it. There
is just that much less in active use,
whether the notes are cancelled ar
locked up.
The Republican policy, therefore, is
to do by indirection what it dare not
do directly; to contract the currency
by keeping an enormous and useless
cash reserve, instead of by boldly re-.
firing our demand paper; to take the
greenback out of actual use, but to
leave it standing menace and
temptation to unwise legislation;
to enable. an administration with
different views to throw it all
to the violent disturbance of COM
merce and finance. a2d to the detri-
ment of our credit. We can under
stand and could commend a courage
Gus policy of retiring the greenbacks.
We can understand and commend, as
far as it's honesty is concerned, the un-
wise policy of keeping out our fiat
paper and increasing it's issue. We can
not understand the utterly stupid and
pointless policy of attempting to do
both. 1t is consistent only with the
unintelligent and shifty method of this
administration in dealing with the only
issue that gave to it it's power and its
opportunity.

NATURALIZATION THE THEME.

Meeting of the Democratic (Scan-
neID City Committee.
Sixteen of the twenty members of
the Democratic city committee (Scan-
nelD met in the office of Building In
spector Kingsley last night and talked
over some of the work preliminary to
next springs city campaign. In the
absence of A. H. Miller the secretary,
who is out of town, John c. Hardy
was elected to the position. The COM
mittee will meet regularly hereafter
the second Monday in each month,
and a committee was named to select
permanent headquarters
The special subject under consider
alton last night was the best method
to pursue in the matter of the natur-
alization of all Democrats whose resi-
dence in the city and state entities
them to second papers. AS a result of
general discussion it was decided to
have each ward committeeman submit
list of four names for each precinct
in each ward, two of which, in each
case, shall be chairmen and secretary,
and that this precinct organization
will assist in the work of naturaliza-
ton and become the nucleus for the
precinct organization when the time
arrives that such organization is nee
eSSary.
P. D. Scannell reported for J. l..
Townley that meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Democratic
county committee, the executive COM
mittee of the Peoples party, the ex-
ecutive committee of the BimetallIc
league and the executive committee of
the Democrat-Citizens' party had been
called and that the Democratic city
committee had been requested to meet
with them. 1t was decided to appoint
a committee of three to advise Mr..
Townley that the Democratic city
committee would be glad to hear the
representatives of the organization
mentioned at any regular meeting of
the Democratic committee, or the lat
ter would, if desired, call special
meeting for the same purpose. The
object of the conference is to promote
naturalization. The committee named
consists of P. D. Scannell, John c..
Hardy and William Johnson. This
concluded the business of the meet
ing.

ceedIng $50, 00O) twenty thousand dol

It will be q great saving to this mu.
nicipAlity, amounting to more thar
(43, 0OO) three thousand dollars per
year.
Only two members of the commit

fence of the two colored victims Of
prejudice who barely escaped hanging,

not a rich man, but OF hir limited
means he gave freely throwing in his
time. ability. and energy for good
