Almost every sort Of new project In the field
OF education is being looked kindly upon by the
School Board these days. An era Of expert
ment has come over the men who hold the
fortunes of the public schools OF New-York in
their hands and there is a definite movement
to probe into the present system. to see where
and how 1t can be bettcred. A feeling is grow
ing in the minds OF these that New

Just how they can be improved has not yet
been determined. but an Impression prevails
that the new sciences of pedagogy and child
study can throw much light on the subject
Thus. every plan that has beer put forward
is examined with care. in the hopes that
something OF value may be discovered either

No blowing Of trumpetS has siGnalized these

is being done quietly. Much Of it has fallen

Washington, Oct 16.-Secretary
Alger was asked tonight if it was the
purpose or the war department to
take any official action concerning
the statements made by Major Sea-
man, surgeon Of the lst volunteer
engineers.
"Not at ALL" replied the secretary;
stood distinctly that any officer or
man in the army may speak freely
and unreservedly concerning his OBJ
servations OF the war without the
slightest fear Of the possible conse-
quences. While J. am secretary Of
war no man shall be the sufferer for
speaking what he believes to be the
truth. Above all, the witnesses who
appear before the war investigation
commission shall be protected to the
fullest extent. The commission anc
the country want the facts, and NJ
obstacle will be placed in the way OF
getting them. We are all interested
in having the clcarest light throw
upon the conduct of the war, and the
standing or promotion OF no enlisted
man or commanding officer shall bt
affected in the slightest way by an,
testimony or other assistance he ma,
give the commission. We mean tt

with the witnesses. [ cannot bt

ticket Of the Chicago platform demo-

The certificate placing this indepen-
dent ticket in the field was received
by the secretary Of state at II o'clock
last night, and in examining it he
found the jurat of the notary public
on the Ulster county petition defec-
tive and notified the committee. The
error was not corrected before the
time for filing expired at midnight,
SO the secretary Of state has ruled
that the whole certificate is defect
i've and its nominees cannot go on

Despite the fact that the editor of
this paper and County Clerk Fitz-
gerald have had some differences in
regard to business matters coming
up between them, we believe that he
has tried to do his duty by the people
conscientiously as he saw it. BY all
rules of political faith he was en-
titled to a denomination by his
| party, and the brutal attacks made
upon him and his administration of
the Office in the democratic conven-
tion was uncalled for from his party.

to speak of the matter, the REpUBL1.

The democratic papers Of Montana
seem to think that the question OF
free silver is involved in the success
of The democratic candidate for the
smallest Office. Now, if there is any
thing in which the cause Of free sill
yer can be benefited or injured, it
is, Of course, in the selection Of man
to perform the clerical duties in the
position Of clerk of the supreme court.
The Boulder Sentinel evidently holds
this view, for in it's last issue it says:
''A vote for Mr.. Rickcrts (the demo-
cratic nominee) means voting for free
silver, for a loyal democrat, and for a
man of character and intelligence. "
Mr.. Rickerts may be a man Of char.

That famous letter Of Charley
ToWnc's which Hartman pulled on
Senator Mantle after carrying it in
his pocket for a week or 50, charges
Senator Mantle, as chairman Of the
silver republican state committee,
with untcnancing. if not directly
causing, a fusion between the silver
republicans and the regular repnbli
cans of Silver Bow county. AS there
never was such a fusion, and the sill
yer republicans are going it alone in
that county, it is evident that Hart
man willfully lied tc ToWne or tue
latter would not have sent such q
letter. And now Hartman is going
about the state talking for the demo

!.ABOR'S ENEMY.

Mr. Campbell, the democratic NOM
incc for congress, did not deny in his
speech last night that in the last
legislature he voted against the bill
providing for an eight-hour law and
against the bill providing for the
union label On public printing-two
measures Of infinite Importance to
laboring men. The gentleman could
not deny either charge, because they
are true and of record, and any man
who works for a living cannot trust
him in congress.
Mr Campbell devoted his time to
denying that prosperity had returned
the country, revamping the time
worn argument oftwo years ago that
free coinage alone is necessary tc
make every man millionaire wheth'
or he works or not. The tariff,
Mr.. Campbell contended, is not ar
issue and has nothing to do with the
enhanced value of labor and all staple
products, but both local and nationa
conditions are in evidence as to th'
falsitv Of his claim. He cannot de
