Ex-S Senator David b. Hill, of
Now York, seems TO be getting
himself in line for the Democratic
nomination for President in 1904.
Hill is undoubtedly popular with
the Southern Democracy, but he
seems to have lost strength in the
east. In the west his case will de
pend entirely upon Mr.. Bryan's :
attitude. Hill refused to aid
Bryan in his first race, but came
to his aid, in Il manner. in his
second campaign. We believe that
if Mr.. Bryan sees there is nothing
more coming to himself he will be
willing to accept Senator He'll,
who would be sort of II compro-
mise candidate of the different fac
tions of the Democracy.

Two or three of our Democratic

Two or three of our Democratic
exchanges have taken up and com
mented upona short editorial para
graph which recently appeared in
the Journal. The paragraph re-
ferred to the practice of our multi
millionairs distributing so much Of
their wealth among the high class
colleges of the country, and that it
was our belief better results would
have been obtained in the cdu-
cation of the people if this wealth
had been left with the masses
in the shape of better wages.
The comment of onr Democratic
contemporaries upon our views iii
this matter, was not adverse,
but complimentary rather, the
Hillsboro Democrat going so far as
to say that the few printed lines
contained Il whole sermon. They
seem to think, however, that the
Journal, in giving expression to
these views, has made a departure
from the doctrine of Republican,
ism, and with the narrowne,s of
conception usually found in Demo
cratic party organs, we are re
commended to advocate the aban-
donment of the protective tariff as
the best method of procuring for
the masses more equabIe distri

are the actual creators. 1t is hard

of our recent history that makes every

inflated that over wide districts of this

the ordinary course of justice, and in
place of it lynch law has been substituted.
Now, lynch law is the very essence of an
archy, and the expressions that we hear
in -the~North now, in the large cities, and
that we read in the mornings papers, of
laying aside all the ordinary forces of
justice and resorting to lynch violence, do
not speak creditably for the sobriety and
reserve judgment of those who share in

CITY SCHOOLS FULL
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND PUPILS
ENROLLED DURING FIRST
WEEK
MORE ROOM BADLY NEEDED
Every Room in Every Building Is
Filled to It's Total Capacity,
Necessitating Halliday
Sessions.


Supt. Lewiston stated yesterday that
the enrolment at the public schools
last week would reach in the neighbour
hood of 22.000 or about 500 more than
| entered last year. The superintendent
bases this estimate upon the returns he
has had from the schools of the city
and while ten schools have not as yet
reported, he thinks that the estimate is
conservative one and that the increase
may be little more when all reports
are in.
The largest gain is made in the Cleve-
| land school, where 1926 pupils entered
last week. This is an increase of 100
pupils over the same week last year.
Every room in every building is filed
to its capacity and more than one-kalf
of the schools are asking for halliday
| sessions and arrangements will have to
be made to establish these sessions, as
much as the board dislikes to do So
At the Edison. new school, 276 pupils
were in attendance last week. This fills
to overlooking every room in the building
and shows plainly the need of further
accommodations in the matter of build
ings.
The figures given above, $4,000, do not
by any means represent the school at
tendance of the city. When the fact
that there are seventy private and parish
SCHOOLS In the city is taken into consider
alton it will readily be seen that the
number of children attending school in
the city is an amazingly large one.
Many of the pupils in these private
and parish schools are there simply be-
cause their parents do not wish them
to attend crowded schools and be COM
PEELED to only receive instruction one
half of a day Several new private
schools opened last week and all are
full. The superintendent thinks that
the majority of pupils attending these
schools would attend public schools if
they could be accommodated and he is
no doubt right in thinking that way
The following figures are from reports
received by Supt. Lewiston and will show
In measure the condition of the
schools. At the Mechanic Arts there is
an increase of over 30 over the attend
ance last November. At the Cleveland
an Increase Of 120 over the first week last
year; at the Douglas an increase of 81,
at the Garfield an increase of 10, at the
Lincoln an increase of 50, at the Me-
Clellan an increase of %, at the Madison
an increase of 80, at the Longfellow an
increase of &c, at the Stickney an in
crease of 26 and an increase of 20 at the
Smith, Irving and Maxfield schools.
A full report of the enrolment will be
in the superintendent hands by Mon
day, and this will without doubt show a
similar increase in the schools that have
not as yet reported.

Just at present the already large

much space added to the drapery and up
nolstery departments. The facilities OF

the firms intentions are to devote much
floor space to the display of individual
rooms, as well as suites of rooms COM
pletely furnished. We are also informed
that with opening of fall business they

Special attention will be directed to the
furnishings for period rooms, now so
popular in the homes of the wealthy,

ticularly. Among other things which will
greatly tend to increase their facilities,
Mannheimer Bros. have secured the
services of Mr.. George W. Turner as
manager of the department. Mr.. Turner
comes from New York and the New Eng
land states, where his reputation as a
collector of artistic house furnishings
and for arranging interior decorations is
one of the highest standard. Mannhei-
mer Bros. are to be congratulated upon
