OUR COMMON SCHOOLS.
Better Supervision and Wiser Expendi-
ture of School Money Demanded.

(Brom Paper by President Hyde before
the Maine Pedagogical Society
In the literal sense of the old Greek
word the present is a crisis, judgment,
a parting of the ways, for our common
schools in Maine. The State Superin-
tendent has done an audacious thing.
He has had the courage to tell the plain
and awful truth about these schools of
ours. Not only has he whispered it In
the ear of few friends, but be has pub
lished it from the house top; yes, what
is worse, he has put it in print, and scat
tered 1t to the ends of the earth. Now
in all this believe that he has done
wisely. It is of no uso to hush up bad
state of affairs. Aslsomeone has said in
justification of pessimism, sin world
where everything is had it is good to
know the worst" We know the worst
about our common schools at last; not
in verbal description merely, but in the
unimpeachable veracity of cold figures,
furnished by the officers of these schools
themselves
I will not take your time to repeat
these facts and figures now. The de-
gree of competence or Incompetence

CURRENT COMMENT.

(New York SUM-

In his inaugural address Governor
Powers of Maine said that the young
meniof that state have ceased emigrating
to the West If he is correct in this as
sertion, Maine is to be congratulated
and the West to be condoled with. A
fine article of men is produced down
East, and If people like Tom Reed, MI.
Dingley, and so on, should try to leave
the state, it would be justified in taking
legal measures to recapture them. The
richness of the Maine talent remaining
at home is the more remarkable from
the fact that SO much of it is furnished
to the other states. 1t Is noted as a
mere matter Of course that three of this
years governors besides Mr.. Powers
come from the DirigD preserves. The
climate is not in every respect the balmi-
est known, but there seems to be some
thing in it that braces the intellectuals;
and from numbering to craftsmanship
there are few things worth doing that
are not done well in Maine.

William j. Bryan's speech at the
"Jaokson day" dinner is definite de-
clarstion of war to the knife and lnd1-
oates tn Q possible course to be pursued
in relation to the gold standard Demo-
Gratis. He says:
"The Democrats who controlled the
Chicago convention earned their kright to
the party organization and to the party
name By whatever rule their claims may
be measured. A democracy is govern
ment in which the people rule.
those who supported the Chicago plat
form are Democrats because they assert
the right of the people to govern them
selves and the right of the American
people to legislate for themselves upon
ali questions, regardless of,the wishes OF
those who live in other lands. n
In my opinion there should be no COM
promise of the issues involved in the late
Campaign, and no terms short of abso-
Lutte surrender offered to those who have
deserted us. If any Democrat becomes
convinced that the gold standard is nee
essary or becomes defender of trusts, he
canileave the party aud join the boiling
Democrats or the Republicans. "

A BREAK IN THE COMBINE.


Mr.. George Washburn, chairman of the
executive committee of the National
dreenfJack party, has issued al stirring
appeFd to the voterssof that party, asking
thea to cut loose from their affiliations
with the silver Democracy, and hence
forth go it alone. MIR. Washburn's bosom
is swelling with. pride with the victories
already won. "No party" says he,
lever achieved more brilliant success in
30 brief time. Although handicapped
in the late campaign, we emerge from
the contest stronger than ever. Our par.
ty alone has voting force larger than
that which elected Lincoln, and an able,
effective reform press of nearly 1000 pa.
pers, We elected several governors, as
well as other state. county and town
officials. We holi the balane of power
in the United States Senate, and have
four times as many Congressman az
ever BEFORE
The coalition between the Democrats
and the Populists Mr.. Washburn says.
was mere temporary affair. While the
Populists thought free silver might do
some good and were willing to assist the
Democrats in their campaign in it's be-
half, it was not the ultimate solution of
the currency question at which they
were aiming. Full legal tender paper
money issued by the government. is what
they want and what they have always
wanted and what they intend to get il
they can. Me- Washburn thinks the pres
emit is an unusually favorable time to
bring this issue to the front, inasmuch
as the question of retiring the green
backs is now before Congress and is be-
ing supported by many Republicans and
Democrats inside and outside that body.
Of course Mr.. Washburn's appeal does
not Of itself dissolve the partnership
heretofore existing between the Popuiists
and the Silver Democrats. 1t needs an en-
dorsement from the party leaders to effect
the dissolution, and before it gets that
lively fight may be expected. Mr.. Will
liam J. Bryan, who, ever since election,
has been looking ahead to the campaign
of 1900 with the expectation of again be-
ing the leader of the combined forces of
cheap money and plenty of 1t. will not be
likely to look with oomposure upon this
rupture in the ranks. 1t is indispensable
to his success that the forces which
were behind his candidacy in 1896 should
be kept together until 1900. Without fu-
sion between the Populists and Silver
Democrats he can hope for nothing in
1900. All his influence and effort will
be thrown. therefore, against the disrup-
tion Of the coalition. The Middle-of the
Road Populists who will naturally favor
Washburn's plan were not in the last
campaign very impressive either in
number or influence, but as fusion pro-
fitted the Populists nothing, and Mid
Road crowd are now likely to
be more numerous and influential, and
their opinion carry more weight in the
councils of the party. Tom Watson
may now be expected to emerge from
obscurity and lock horns with the Boy
Orator of the Platte in desperate
for supremacy. 'ss
