Mrs Anna George to-day numerous
threats by Mrs. George against the life
of George d. saxton were testified TO by
Witnesses
Many Of the statements were coupled
with Mrs Georges story Of the alleged

she told the witnesses In connection with
her threats.
An attempt Of the prosecution to intro
duce a chemical analysis of the cuticfe
taken from Mrs. Georges hand to show

There Is a certain something about the
nCherry Pickers,' with which the Bi1ou
Theatre will openu the season next Mon
dav matinee. which makes 1t a great
play. Fronting by the success of the

a Brutal slander Upon the Tee ohers

In a spasm of eagerness to curry favor
with the present Board of Education, the
Evening Journal yesterday printed an
editorial which amounts to an outrageous
insult to every teacher at present in the
employ of the city. It intimated in ex-
press terms that every young woman, APP
pointed or promoted under previous
boards, owed her position to pull, and that
never untIl now was merit or c~apability
made the touchstone of success.
This is a statement of almost incredible
truculency. If we were told some one
had said 1t, we would lay the charge TO
pure malevolence. But there is no es-
cape from the fact hat the 'JournaI' did
say it in so many words, and anyone
who doubts may borrow a copy of yes
terday's edition and read it for himself
in the original place. In order TO avoid
a charge of misrepresentation, we quote
he passage textually here
A record is kept of the work of each
substitute by the superintendent, who,
with the principal of the school In when
a vacancy exists, are consulted
This is a pleasing change from the per-
nicious method that prevailed under pre-
ceding Boards, when ability was or no
consequence and political influence was
the all-important recommendation 70 Sc,
cure appointments n promotions, ana
frequently to have deficient scholars plac-
ed on the list of graduates.
Ambitious. Intelligent n capable young
women who attained high averages in
the High School and Training Schools and
were recommended by principals for APP
poiutment, were ignored because they de-
Incompetent young women, VINO had IN
fuential friends to work for them, were
selected.
This specimen of brutal SANDER Is all
the more wanton from the fact that there
IS no point made. In the last decade,
| the Board Of Education has been Republic
can in complexion for six years and DEM
| ocratic for four. It is now understood to
be Democratic. and it is certainly the
| creation of a Democratic Mayor. Thus
| the journal is without profit,
| and mendaeious without gain.
We do not, as a rule, k to recon-
mend edged tools, but if the teachers of
| this city should resort to the boycott to
| punish this atrocious insult, we certainly
| should not blame them.
