higher things.
Mr.. Johnson paid a high tribute to
AguinaldO. and to AgOncillO, whose
letter to Secretary Hay had appeared
in the morning papers. That letter. he
declared, was the letter of a states
man, and was worthy Of a place in the
archives of any government. He re-
ferred to the commission the president
had appointed to go TO the islands and
report on the situation. 1t was not

The May festival given by the pupils
of school No. 2 Of Brambleton Ward
yesterday afternoon was one of the
most unique affairs that has, perhaps,
ever transpired in East Norfolk, and
the credit OF the conception and sue
cessful termination is due to the indie
fatigable efforts of the four teachers,
Miss Maggie Miller, senior OF the pri-
mary department, and her three asso-
ciates, Misses Elizabeth Howard, Flos-
sic Barbour and Lula jenkins, whose
excellent training OF the children added
largely to the perfect character of the
entertainment. The play ground of the
school was deliberately decorated with
plants and flowers in honor of the
event. A large platform had been erect
ed for the exercises.
There were several hundred visitors,
consisting of parents of the children
and friends OF the school. conspicuous
among whom were Superintendent X.
A. Dobie and Mr.. Boswell Bagnali, the
latter a warm advocate of the system
of public education, both of whom were
unanimous in their expressions of APP
prevail of the order of exercises.

THE FIRST DAYS FIGHT AT GLENCOE

I HEN the account OF the first days fighting
NJ at Glencoe, near Dundee, given in the dis
patch from Pretoria published in The Call
yesterday, is compared with that given out by the
British will be that the conflict between the
antagonists the field not much greater than
that between the reports Of the results The compar-
son is worth noting. Owing to the isolation OF the
Transyaal nearly all the news from the war must
come from British be transmitted by
British lines OF communication, and is therefore
liable to the coloring OF British hopes or prejudices
The evidence given in the Pretoria dispatch of ex-
aggeraton in the reports OF the first battle will serve
to show to what extent allowance will have to be
made for these inevitable misrepresentation.
The British reports of the battle were to the effect
that severe and almost crushing defeat had been
inflicted upon the Beers. It was said: There was
eight hours OF continuous heavy firing =
The British loss was severe, but that of the Beers
was much heavier The Beers got a re-
verse which may possibly, for time at any rate,
check all aggressive action" After describing the
charge up the hill and the capture Of the position
occupied by the artillery of the Beers the British
reports went to say: "As the Beers strearned
wildly down the hills making for the main road,
they found their retreat had been cut off, but they
rallied for while and there was severe firing on
both sides Many OF them surrendered A rough
estimate places the British loss at $50 killed and
wounded, and that OF the Beers at 8oo'

THE CHARTER DECISION.

the validity OF the new charter pointed out the
prime necessity OF judicial test OF that instru-
ment prior to its taking effect as the fundamental
law OF the city. Every man OF common sense under

the government was organized according its terms.
The decision IS rendered The charter is sustained
in all its parts and there is hereafter temptation
TO attempt have it iudicially picked TO pieces by
assaults at law any OF its provisions or details.
Il IS now the fundamental law. 1t became so not

by the calm cooperation OF all the separate deposits

STILL MORE CLASSES.

y his address in the Tweaty-eigath Assembly Dis
trict Mr. Plean proceeded TO assume that labor
ing men would not be allowed 10 vote. He there
upon worked himself into a hot box and excitedly
cried out: i want you all to know that the Civil
Code guarantees TWO hours from his labor without
loss oi pay 10 every man to vote At general election
We shall insist upon this. but want no one 10 lose

By the way, Mr., Phelan OF course has released
the large number OF wage-workers employed in his
industrial enterprises, to whom he pays wages His
rent collectors, who promptly collect from his ten
ants and his bank clerks, who figure interest his
god-bearing mortgages can march TO the polls with
confidence that their places will be open after they
have used the red rubber stamp on the Australian
ballot. But he IS afraid that the gentlemen who
merely employ thousands OF common mechanics,
who by their wages support tens OF thousands in
their families, will not get chance to vote unless

papers!
The transparent demagogy OF the Mayor, who enl-
poys men mainly on his rent roll and interest COM
putations, in suggesting to the honest wage -earners
OF this city that only he stands between them and
dsfranchisement IS something to make the statues

The Republican candidates want every mechanic
and workngmen to vote. Three years ago the la
boring men did not need Nh Phelans assistance and
the advice OF his lawyer on that matter. They had
plenty OF leisure. There was no need Of the code
10 secure their positions after hours spent at the
polls for they had no positions to lose, no wages

while the great Phelan industry Of collecting and
interest computation went just the same the great
wage paying industries were dead
They are now resurrected. Every day the call
goes out for men TO the wages that are ready
for them 70 win. The allegiance Of the working
man IS not to men, but to conditions which he in
teigenty comprehends. Mr. Phelan in his speech
accepting his nomination OF himself said that he
IS elected Mayor now and his party wins having
been faithful over few things will be trusted over
many in the State and in the nation. This was a
plain declaration that vote cast for him is vote

men had a long hard taste OF his kind OF national
politics It gave them ample leisure to study the
effect. They do not wish any more Of it Just now.
