SCHOOLS AND POLITICS.

Recently Or. George I. Mcleod. 4 mem-
her of the School Board of the city Of
Philadelphia, rendered his resignation, and
in explanation said that of recent years
there had been steadily growing in The
Board an outside influence represented
by a certain member of the council. That
ell measures passed upon by the Board
had been determined on the outside and
he had the best reason for supposing thar
they had been decided in full accord with
the wishes of this councilman. He s:e
ciared that all committees were subject
TO the couneilman's revision and in maay
other ways had this outside influence
been manifested. There was 4 tac in

MIR. JONES, CONFESSION.

Senator John p. Jones. of Nevada, who
recently announced his remuneration OF
Populism and 16 to / and his return
to the Republican party, is now In WASH
ington and said in an interview the other
day that he had never felt at home in
the other party. and now that the course
of events had destroyed bimetallism as
an issue he had no sympathy whatever
with Democratic principles.
This is a significant utterancc ans
is well enough for Democrats to take il
to heart. Mr.. Jones is one of large
class of free-silyer advocates. who jone'l
in with the Democratic party in 1856 oil
the free-silyer issue. Some of them were
Republicans and some were Popuists and
Socialists, but they We're al! bimetaliist:5.
so-called, and it was Mr.. Bryan's del
that he could upi 6 all these with Demo-
Gratis and Inn-lc q new party. But in lii,
light of Senator Joncs's declaration that
he lad sympathy whatever with Dem
ocratic principles. the impossibility and
absurlity of such a scheme is apparent.
Free silver was indeed The dominating
and overshadowing issue in 1896, and I'll
other issues were for the time being &c
tired. Democrats put aside their prin-
ciples, and Republicans put aside their
principles, and Popuiists put aside their
principles, and all united upon the single
issue upon which they were agreed. They
did not talk about differcnces-they SIM
ply talked about the one question upon
which they did not differ, and SO there
was an apparent agreement all around.
But sooner or later in any event, even
though the coalition had been successful
in the election of 1886 these differences
must have cropped out, and we have often
wondered what the various conflicting in
terests would have done il they had had
control of the Government. Democrats
would have insisted upon proclaiming
their principles and putting them ilto
practice, Republicans would have insist
ed upon the same thing for their prin-
ciples and policies, and the Populists for
theirs. And SO there would have been 4
confusion Of tongues and the coalition
would have become veritabIe political
hediam.
1t is ali plain enough now, and VIC be-
lieve that Democrats sec it plainly and
that they will never again make the stu
pendous bundcr of allying themselves
| with men like Senator Jones, who could
| never feel al home in the Democratic
| party because they had no sympathy
whatever with Democratic principles.
Every Democrat should feel perfectly at
! home IL the Jeffersonan household.
