The Dispatch Spells the Game.

Really, Mr.. Hitler Horton, as director
general of the double-headed Repub-
lican campaign, should put the brakes
on his organ. 1t is OVERRIDING the trick
badly. There was a certain adroitness
in the plan of campaign that brought
Erwin out as democratic" candidate,
but it's whole success rested in It's hay
ing the appearance Of independence.
Had the organ acted with just ordinary
sagacity voters not counted as dull of
comprehension would never have per-
ceived the connection Of the Kiefer and
Erwin campaigns. But it is always
risky to set bungler at work that re-
quires finesse. In its eagerness to adj
vance Kiefer the Dispatch has played
the Erwin part Of the Republican cam
paign too strongly. The thickest-wltted
voter in the city sees now that Erwin
Is nothing but Kiefer's understudy.
With Erwin's henchmen claiming
that he will get only 5000 votes it is
a bit too gauzy to have the Dispatch
solemnly warning the Republicans Of
the Seventh or of any ward that K1e
fer's real opponent, the one to be feared
is Erwin. That is rubbing it In too
thick. 1t makes the Erwin attachment
to the Republican ticket TOO plain. In
it's inception the plan had certain
cuteness. but it had to be played with
an adopts hand, not with an appren-
tees. We have no other concern in 1t
than dislike to see the game of poll
tics played so bunglingly. These alli-
ances are worthless unless their con-
nection is artfully concealed 1t would
have made no difference with the re-
suit had the game been we'll played.
Schiffmann would not have had quite
so large a majority as he will now
have. Some suckers would have been
caught. Now none will be; nothing but
a few incorrigible bullheads But it is
too bad to see Horizons ace trumped
by his partner.

Sherman has been but a figurehead to
his office. A decent interval has elaps-
ed. and he resigns. No one supposes
that 1t is done voluntarily. The cir
cumstances refute any such assertion.
He was brushed out of the senate to
reward the manager. He is brushed
out Of the cabinet now that the reward
is secured. The man who might have
been president but for the chicanery of
the man who sat at. the council table
with him as war secretary, ends forty
years of eminent service as a mere
pawn in Hanna's game of politics. The
ending of the careers Of Clay and Web
ster did not equal in pathos that of
John Sherman.

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
METROPOLITAN.

Mr.. Roland Reed presented Broadhurst' q
The Wrong Mr.. Wright" to large audi
ence at the Metropolitan last evening, and
also delivered speech that was by no means
the least funny part of the show. The
speech was made in response to a persistent
curtain call at the close Of the second act.
He said good many funny things, and he
did not lay his hand on his heart and tell
how profoundly grateful he was. He likewise
neglected to bore his hearers by going into
the ethics OF tho stage and he said he must
decline to make the performance a continu-
Gus affair. He was altogether very happy
and added to the favorable impression made
on the audience by the comedy
1.-The Wrong Mr.. Wright has been seen
here before and there is nothing to add to
the good things that were then said of II.
Mr.. Reed is always clever in whatever he

Miss Maude White is a charming vouna

up to all the requirements of the comedy.
notable incident of the performance was
the outburst of applause that held the stage
empty for several minutes on the going IN
of the curtain on the third act. The scene
presented Is the interior Of Fortress Mon

was flying q tiny silk American flag that
was futtering in the breeze. That started
the house into burst Of applause which he
came most enthusiastic when there was pres.

stacy, but it went with a hurrah and MT thu

followed.

ADVICE TO OUR VOLUNTEERS
From One Who Followed the Flag
In the Tropics for Seven Years.

To The st. Paul Globe:
Having served for seven years under the
colors In a tropical climate, 1 ask your
permission to make few suggestions to
our boys. going Cuba-wards. concerning
equipment.
Carry as little you can-great coats and
blankets are an unnecessary burden.
Use flannel next the skin and wooden
socks; both dry out quicker after wetting
and do not chill when wet.
Carry four-ounce bottle of quinine. A
good strong Q5-grain) dose of this taken at
the first sign will drive off fever.
Carry small vial of cholordyne and use
fifteen to twenty drops at any dysenteric
signs Bad water and irregular food, almost
sure to be campaigners lot, have a dis
organizing effect on the bowels.
Wear cholera belt next to the skin; this
is surcingle of double flannel about ten
inches wide, to keep the abdomen and kid
neys warm.
The head gear should be light and afford
ing ample ventilation. Our military he'll

An Enemy of Our Schools.

j. j. McCardy, during the entire pc
riod Of his incumbency of the comp
troller's office, has been in more or less
antagonism to our public schools. In
this respect he stands in striking con-
trast with Anthony Yoerg. who has al
ways. in or out Of office, proved him
self the earnest friend of the schools.
The man who strikes at the school
hits nine-tenths Of the voters as well.
He hurts them and pleases the other
tenth, who either have no children, or
are wealthy enough to give them pri
vate instruction, or care more for their
money than they do for their children
OF the state.
He strikes at the schools who impairs
their efficiency. This is done when tax
alton is reduced so that needed school
room cannot be provided; when night
schc o. S, for the large number who would
get what early misfortune prevented
them from getting. are debarred; when
salaries must be cut down and the best
teachers are engaged by other cities
where adequate compensation is paid
He strikes at our schools who re-
mains the old fogy, with his antiquat-
ed notions of education, and refuses to
accept the improvements that have
come into educational methods as we'll
as into every other department of
human activity. Such would have our
they were when he had his training.
while every other branch Is driven by
the dynamo; he would read by candle
dip when electric lights counterfeit sun
light.
McCardy has been all these. AS
comptroller and as citizen, he has done
al; he could to impair the capacity of
the schools. When it was discovered
that the parsimony of a few owners
of vacant real estate and empty boom
buildings had secured a reduction Of
real estate valuations, which caught
the schools between the decreased val
uation and the arbitrary limitation of
percentage of taxation for support of
the schools, McCardy set himself in
opposition to the steps taken for relief.
He opposed the measure pending in
the legislature to increase the limit of
tax levy from 21a to ga mills on the
dollar, leviable for support of the
schools. He argued against it before
the chamber Of commerce. He stated
to it that the levy was sufficient for
this year, after the reductions that had
been made in the wages of teachers.
His statement induced that body to
vote against the request for legislative
relief Representing the business ele-
ment of the city this action was in
nuential with the legislature.
1t was this situation that imDelled
the movement to secure for the city a
home rule charter in order that the
high standing our schools had attained
might be restored, for McCardyism had
lowered it. If that source of relief is
denied by an adverse vote, if the char
ter Is rejected, McCardyism will prevail
and our schools will continue the back
ward movement taken since parsimony
and avarice got in their work on them.
There is but one course open for the
voter who cares more for the welfare Of
his children than for his pocket or his
party. Next Tuesday he must go into
the booth and vote the new charter
and Yoerg in and McCardy and Nc
Cardyism out.

A Path tic Scandal.

The retirement of John Sherman
from the abinet terminates a scandal
tinged with pathos. The scandal lies
in the events that placed him in the
chair of the department Of state; the
pathos lies in such an ending to such

The story Of the recklessness with
which that manager pledged offices, the

Chicago boasts Of three organizations whose
membership is confined to women writers.
The Oldest of the three is the Illinois
Woman's Press association, which was
ganized in 1885, with a charter membership
of forty-two representative women, among
whom were Frances Willard, Mary A. Ahrens

Mrs. A. Shackleford Sullivan, DR.. Mary

tinguished, are now upon the books of the
association and It's honorary members in
clude Lady Henry Somerset, Lucinda B.
Chandler and Miss Anna Ballard, the first
American woman to take up the work of
travelling correspondent for the press.
The Chicago Press league and the Pen
women's club, of Chicago, are the other two
organizations. The first is for newspaper
women exclusively and the latter for more
leisureIy journalists. The primary object of
the three clubs is social relaxation and ma
terial advancement

WOMAN IN BUSINESS WORLD.

The queen Of business women Of America
Is Emma Sutro Merritt of San Francisco
she is the eldest daughter of Adolph Sutro
ana guardian OF his person and estate
She Is practicing physician and will this
week be chosen president of the Sutro Electric
railway. Says the San Francisco Chronicle:
u Won Rhein, president of the Sutro road,
mas resigned His resignation will be pre-
scented at the next meeting of the directors
OF the road, which will be held Thursday
Mrs. Merritt will be made a director at
that time and her elevation to the presi-
dency is only matter of course. In Los
Angeles there Is al electric railway largely
owned and entirely managed by a woman.
Sne was the e first president of street rail-
way in California. DR.. Merritt will be the
second, and the pioneer, SO far as San
Francisco is concerned.
Ut. Merritt Is intensely modest and retir-
ing and has no desire to shine as woman
e anairs. Nevertheless, 1t Is predicted
that she will make a very distinguished
success as railway president. She is a
woman Of the
Broadcast Culture
and education, and though she has devoted
ner HE to medicine she is by no means
physician merely. She is of middle age
ana strongly resembles her father In
physical characteristics. She was sent to
Vassar college before the Western co-edu-
catlonal colleges had assumed much i'm
portance. From Vassar she was graduated
with honors in 1877. Upon her return to
San FRANCISCO this eldest and favorite
daughter of Adolph Sutro entered Toland
Medical college, where she received her de-
gree in 1881. In the School of Medicine in
Paris, an institution very dificult to enter
she received one of the few degrees granted
to an American woman
Mrs. Browning, who did SO much to dignity
and elevate the position Of woman, made
protest against the uncomplimentary leniency
with which Judgment is often passed on
woman's work. She said:

Why, call 1t scant Affect no compromise.

It's all right, Terrence Kenny. You

humble self. From information which
we accept as authentic the gas COM
pany Is not spending money to elect
aldermen from the Third or any ward.
And as to the preparation of that re-
port, Terrence, we absolve you. It is
not in your style. And, come to recall
the circumstances of it's presentation,
forgotten for the moment, the author
and source were openly and frankly
admitted. and you were neither the one
nor the other, as was implied in the
brief epistle addressed to you in The

The company is out Of it, Terrence,
but you are very much in it, when upon
your record you presume to run fcr a
reelection in the Third.
There are other subjects than gas
upon which you can properly be ques-
toned by your constituents, and the
campaign is not yet ended.

The spirit Of compromise never

marvelously constructed sentences in
which congress gave vent to it's belli-
