], THE Sunday boomers OF tie Anti
Addicks cause appear to be losing con-
fidence in the success of the man hunter
party. A short time ago they were posi-.
lively certain that the Union Republi;,
cans we're not worthy of respectful at
tention, and could Lot by any possible
means get hearing at the coming Na-
tional Republican Convention. Now
they think differently. They are even
asking that the Anti-Addicks delegation
be allowed to sit with the Union Re-
publicans and cast half vote in the
convention. A few weeks ago they were
going to drive Mr.. J. Edward Addickf
out Of the Union Republican party ano
out of the State; they were going to dis
band the party, absorb it, reinlist al
its voters in the Observation-Disclosures
man-hur ter party and sweep the State
Now they are anxious to share Nationa
Convention honors with Union Repub
lcans, and are soliciting the infuenc
oi President Mckinley to secure then
representation on the Union Republlca
State ticket.

ent uses. We hold that any money pe-
longing to the city not demanded ier
other uses, ought to be available 1or the
payment Of its debts, particularly when
the pressing demand is for the pay

The Street and Sewer Directors are

about S65 900 in bank to the depart

money being held out of public use? In
answer to that question it has been sug-

open their fight to control the legislative

there can be no condemnation OF 1t that

Trr statement that school teachers
salaries were unpaid because OF the faii

appropriation for the Board OF EducA
ii h. las called attention to the city
Offices that are sirecures, in which the
icnmbents are paid salaries which,
compared with teachers salaries, are
much too great for the services rendered.
The average school teachers salary is
about S40O a year for almost continuous
service for ten months; for a service
than which none is more important, or
more exacting or arduous, and which
demands constant study and preparation
for increasing duty. With all respect
for the court, let us say that the
indge OF The Municipal Court gives
about two hours a day for
not more than 800 days, is
paid at the rate Of 81 200 q year,
AID is free to g. where he pleases, stay
as long as he plesses, and attend to any

of service, some OF them much less, q

nearly double what the average teach.
ers' salary amounts to. There are thre,
