this general character in which they may
engage from time to time.
a nan SITUATION.

It is a very distressing situation which
Is revealed in the school budget. Over
1900 pupils OF the city schools are, ac-
cording to the report Of the school in
spectors. deprived Of proper school ac-
commodation. That number of children,
scattered all over the city. are thus made
the direct and immediate victims of
public policy which is at once Ill advised
and parsimonious.
We are in possession of a legacy of mis-
management and worse in relation to our
schools. We have schools where there
are no children to go into them, and have
not accommodation for children where
it Is most needed. We have made the
tins of our peculiar courses; and at least
up to the adoption of the new charter all
the promise appeared to be Of existing
conditions being perpetuated
The requisition of the school board for
a quarter million dollars for the purchase
of new sites and for repairs shows how
badly in need the school administration
is. The specification of the wards in
and the vast number Of children who cam
not be accommodated with sittings, offer
convincing proof of the urgent need which
exists for enlarged expenditures for
school purposes. But Mayor Smith is
right In his recommendation that this
requisition ought to be reduced at least
100000, since the amount mentioned is en-
tirely too large a sum to expend in any
one year.
If city finances were entirely salisfac-
tory, it would be right that the amount
asked for should be granted. The addi-
tional schools mentioned must be provid-
ed, and the sooner they can be provided
the better for the community. The pres
ent school board, while it's party political
complexion is very decided, and its mem
bers make no secret of their party pre-
objections, is very worthy body. 1t Is
thoroughly reliable, and its conduct dur
ing the trying period through which
school finances have passed within the
year has been such as to inspire the pub
lie with confidence In the ability and fair
mindedness of it's members. It's state
ments of the conditions prevailing in
school administration can be absolutely
relied on, and its recommendations are
entitled to much weight.
The common council can afford to be as
liberal as possible with the school board,
and will be expected to do everything
that can be done at the earliest possible
day to enable the children of our citizens
to find the most ample school facilities,
even though in doing SO 1t exceeds some
what its own notion Of prudence in pub
lie expenditure.

sUBoRNER AND suRoRxED

The St Paul Street Railway cornpanv
seems of late to have much dif1cultv IN
saving itself against the determined at
tacks of the personal injury fiend. The
courts have within a short time listened
to two of its tales of woe, which reveal
a degree Of ignorance of the resources
of its legal department on the part of its
assailants which is really incredible.
No one who has lived in st. Paul for
any considerable length of time could
ever conceive Of the street railway cor
poration as possible victim Of the wiles
OF the suborner. The man who, know
ing the reputation for truth and yeracftv
of it's agents and representatives. will
engage himself In the undertaking to
raid Its treasury through a damage suit
must be decidedly adventurous person.
Yet this is precisely the form of activity
which seems of late to have suggested
itself to a number of persons who ara
regarded as possessing apparently ordi-
nary intelligence
The G o b deeply regrets to observe
such a tendency prevailing in the com
munity, 1t involves, in the first place.
such degree of misd.rected energy, and.
IN the next place, indicates such an ut
ter misconeeption Of the resources of the
law and claim department of that inter
esting corporation on the part of indi-
viduals whom we are asked to believe to
be engaged in criminal pursuits, as to
have depressing effect on even the
most casual student of human character
or motive
What unique and interesting charac-
| ter is this which the most recent raid on
the unsuspecttng street car corporation
has brought into public notice He was
approached" like many other unsus-
pecting persons have been in their day,
with view to forming a conspiracy
| against the financial welfare of Mr.. Low
rvs minor corporation. He was ap-
proachabIe and communicated his ap-
| proachability to the claim agent of the
corporation. Having been at one time
q minister of the gospel he naturally
revolted at the thought of a struggling
common carrier being mulcted in dam
ages where no damage had been done.
and revealed the gulleful purposes of his
friend whom he declared he had known
SO long and SO intimately that he was
In the habit of calling him Frank"
In view of the decided increase in the
number Of these raids on the street rail-
way it might not be improper to sug-
gest that the court should appoint an
agent of its own. as is sometimes done in
divorce cases, to enI.ghten it as to just
the extent to which suhorners and sub-
orned alike are ready to go in their i'm
position on the credulity of the read ,ug
public who are expected to accept their
respective versions of the transactions of

Mayor Thinks S25O,OOO La Too
Much to Appropriate There
for in Single
Year.

The city council yesterday afternoon
| received the following communication
from Mayor Smith;
THE report (referring to the school
! budget embraces a clear and ex-
haustive statement of the wants OF the
schools. Exhibit A shows the total en-
rollment of pupils in each OF our schools,
as well as the number of sittings avail
able for the pupils accommodation. Your
attention is especially called to the
statement that the enrolment exceeds
the available sittings by over 5000 The
amount Of 1000 Is asked for for cur
rent expenses in the direction OF officers
and teachers salaries. engineers, fuel
supplies. etc. This sum seems to me to
! be necessary to suitably equip the
schools The sum Of $780, IS asked for
building sites and repairs. This sum,
believe, is necessary, in order to put the
! existing school buildings in complete re-
| pair and provide the necessary new build
tngs. but Is. in my opinion, too large to
! appropriate in any one year. I would
! therefore recommend to your honorable
body to reduce the appropriations sought
| 100000 in this direction. The reduced
! appropriations will. it seems to me- leave
sufficient sum to make needed repairs
! and to erect one school building, where
| 1t is most needed"
