NO MoNEY FOR QUEENS TEAcHERS
Shall They sue the City or the Members of
the Borough school Board:

Shall They sue the City or the Members of
the Borough school Board:
The school teachers OF Queens borough havs
learned within a few days that because Of GER
tain actions OF the borough School Board they
may have no claim against the city for salaries
for the months Of November and December.
The increased salary schedule OF the borough
went into effect last June. Auditor Cook OF
the Central Board OF Education refused 10
audit IL. foreseeing that IL would cause deficit
amounting To two months salaries. Wheu n
payros were returned the borough boar.
held meeting and passed the following res,.-
luton:
"Resolred. That the auditor OF the School
Boari be directed to audit the payro!ls IN III"
sums contained therein upon the express I'M
derstaniing that such reductions will ha made
by the School Board in the future as will bring
the salaries within the Appropriation allowed
Queens borough"
Every subseausent payroll has, contained the
same promise. Tho borough Board expected
that the Board Of Estimate would maxi
the deficit good, This the Board ot Estimate
has refused TO do. The teachers have contracts
calling for the increased salaries and they in
tend to take action to enforce their claims.
The question is whether they have n cause Of
action against the city or against the members
OF the borough School Board.

The Law Against Prizefights.

We are SURPRISED at the assumption in
many newspapers that the Governor OF this
State Is primarily responsible for the adj
ministration OF tho criminal law against
prize fighting.
Offences against the statute on that sub
ject, like offences against the criminal law
generally, are punishable not by the Gov
ernor, but by tho criminal courts In the
several counties OF the State, through the
agency OF the district attorneys, grand
juries, judges and trial juries.
The Penal Code declares that any person
who within this State engages in, insti-
tutes, aids, encourages or does any act to
further n contention or fight commonly
called n ring or prizefght is guilty Of a
misdemeanor.
In the same section, however, IL expressly
provides that ''sparring exhibitions with
gloves OF not less than five ounces each In
weight may DO held by domestic incor-
porated athletic association in q building
leased by 1t for athletic purposes only for
at least one year, or in a building owned
and occupied by such association"
II the pugilistic contest which recently
took place at Coney Island was prizeiight
instead OF the statutory sparring ex-
hibition thus permitted by law. 1t was
violation OF the Penal Code In that event.
the parties and those who aided and
abcttcd them should be prosecuted at the
instance OF the District Attorney Of Kings
county, where the combat occurred. That
officer. and not Governor ROOSEVELT IL the
person 20 be criticised, IL any one Is justly
subject to criticism, for failing to act In
the premises
Even II tho encounter did not exceed
the limits Of a permissible sparring exhi-
billion under the statute, 50 far as tho
character OF the contest Ia concerned, IL
may have been illegal in another aspect.
The Penal Code prohibits any public or pri-
vate sparring exhibition even with gloves
at which an admission fee Is charged
or received either directly or indirectly.
1t has been held by Mr.. Justice WooD-
WARD Of the Supreme Court sitting
In Erie county, that this prohibition can
not be avoided by selling so-called mem
hcrship tickets OF admission to sparring
exhibitions. purporting to constitute the
holders temporary members OF the athletic
association under whose direction the exhi-
bition il given.
We have not been able to find that this
construction OF the law has ever been
authoritativoly questioned or adjudged to
be erroneous.

The Democratic Address.

There will be a meeting OF the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee in Chicago to-
day. 1t Is understood that an address or
proclamation will be issued. The Hon. jim
JONES is pleased with the result OF the
election or says he Is. Col. WILLIAM
JENNINGS BRYAN Is expected to leave Col.
NOSE wErMoBEs game trust in the Ozark.
Mountains and help the committee oele-
brate the great Democratic victories In
Now York, Ohio, Iowa, South Dakota and
Massachusetts,. The address should read
somewhat as follows:
THE first engagement OF the great
campaign OF 1900 against the money
power has been substantial victory for
tho reform forces.
I'm Maryland the Democratic strength
was 50 great that the Democrats did not
deem 1t necessary to introduce the Demo-
cratic platform.
"In Kentucky the struggle OF tho stain
less GoEBEL for honest elections bids fair
to be rewarded with success.
I'm Ohio, in spite OF the corruption and
intimidation practised by the Administra-
tlon, so eager and widespread was the de-
sire to rebuke the war Of criminal ag-
gression In the Philippines that many
thousands OF Democrats voted for the
Hon. SAMUEL JONES because his platform
said nothing about Imperialism.
I'm Iowa, where our heroic candidate for
Governor boldly made expansion the main
issue, the Republican plurality was only a
miserable sixty thousand or so. We are
highly encouraged by the result in Iowa,
which we regard as doubtful State.
Nebraska, the State OF our peerless
leader, rolled up a glorious plurality for
our honored Populist associate the Hon.
SILAs A. HoLCoMB. The smaller but
adequate pluralties received by tho
candidates for Regents show that wher-
ever the relation OF Democracy TO Populsm
is duly understood, victory is certain.
Deceived by the Fata Morgana OF
Republican prosperity, South Dakota has
turned her face from the truth, but we
have faith to believe that this alienation
is but temporary and that the State OF
our gifted Silver Republican fellow soldier.
RICHARD FRANKLIN PETTIGREw, will soon
cease to worship MoLoCH and MAMMoN.
In short, wherever the vision rests, tho
silver light OF hope flashes brightly Fellow
tricked by the Vaccinations Of cnpitalstic
greed. Cast your eyes over our be-
loved country and what do they behold?
Impoverished Industries. millions out OF
work, low wages, famine stalking gauntly
by our doors. So terrible Is the distress
that many farmers in Kansas and Nebraska
have determined not to buy automobiles this
year. The pitiless Octopus Of corporate
monopoly folds and strangles all trade and
industry in his fatal embrace. Democrats,
Americans. arise! Let no man or party
make you prosperous without your consent
Democrats, lovers OF liberty and the
Chicago platform, remember that every
Democratic vote is message Of cheer and
hope to your little, brown. Democratic
brother in Luzon-to the WASHINGTON
HAMPDEN, BRYAN Of tho Tagalog! Work

1t Is expected that the Democratic
National Committee will issue 1900. 900
copies OF the Hon EMILIO AouISALDo's latest
Democratic proclamation. We can hear tears
fall as the Democratic Mrstizos spell out this
noble passage:
1--WE therefore pray Con high that the great
Democratic party in the United States will win
the next election and that imperialism will fail
in It's mad attempts to subjugate us by force Of
arms"
The Democrats must be greatly encouraged
by this sweet Tagalog sympathy
