Bad Error in a Bill Passed by the Mime
sofa Legislature.

ST. PAUL. April 2s.-After all the
care in drafting the Arge,singer bill
and the thorough discussion and the
scrutiny of its friends it seems to have
left out state aid TO the schools for one
year entirely.
Auditor Dunn says there are no two
ways about it. The appropriation avail
able last August was duly distributed.
The appropriation that would have been
available next August is cut Off by this
measure. The appropriation author
lied by the Argetsinger bill will first
become available Aug. 1. 1900.
Neither could Superintendent Lewis
find any help for it. AS a last resort he
will appea! to the governor and attorney
general to see if there is not some way
in which the intent Of the legislature
can somehow be carried out.

NEW YORK SOLID FOR BRYAN.

The telegraphic columns have already
told how the New York Democratic
executive committee virtually declared
that the New York delegation would
so to the National Convention in 1900
for Bryan. The resolutions were strong
er than any other State committee has
yet adopted, by vote of 40 ito over
the earnest opposition of David b. Hill,
and are in these words:
THE Democratic State Committee of
New York recognizes that William Jen-
nngs Bryan is the natural approved
leader of the Democratic party in the
nation.
THE Democratic State Committee
hereby expresses its solicitude for his
health and strength. and, while he Is
temporarily stricken in the peoples bat
tie field, they beg to assure him of their
loyalty and love-
After they were introduced, Mr..
Richard Croker advocated the resolu-
tons in these words:
Il heartily approve of this resolution

Bryan is nominated for the Presidency
/ shall certainly support him and do all
/ can TO secure his election. | believe
that the rank and file of the Democratic
party of this State and nation demand
his nomination.
Mr.. Hill, just before the vote was
taken, turned to Croker and said:
Remember this is practically an en-
dorsement of Bryan for the Presidential
nomination; remember that" Mr.
Croker, with smile, replied, 'I'll re-
member that"

There are advantages about keeping 4

voters i'll Ohio are very restive under
the domination of the President by d
gross corruptionist like Hanna. In order
to relieve that feeling, when Dewey was
in Washington, it was photographed all
over the country that Hanna had called
at the White House and demanded i'm
mediate audience with the President and
had been turned down for Dewey. This
was followed by an indignant denial by
Hanna in which he said he was fire.
quently denied an audience with McI<in-
ley and had to wait his turn. Will the
Ohio voters swallow this made to order

NOT RUNNING AFTER MARTIAL GLORY.

With reference to the talk about nom
mating Dewey for the presidency. the
Statesville Mascot calls attention to The
fact that whenever the Democracy runs
after military men it is defeated, in
stancing the nomination and defeat Of
Mcclellan and Hancock. II the Demo-
Gratis had nominated the old ticket of
Tilden and Hendricks in 1880 the fraud
of 1876 would have been avenged, but
they failed to do the logical thing and
suffered defeat. In 1900 the Democrats
would make a fatal blunder to nomin-
ate any man but Bryan, as the Mascot
shows. 1t says: THE Democratic par
ty will not run after martial glory not
this time"
