Daily New York Letter

can be fixed on one man. In the language OF
the day it is up to Mayor Low
WAS the district attorney consulted about
sending this letter."
District Attorney Jerome was not con-
suited at all. We have no doubt that he has
not shred of sympathy with the manner
In which the excise law is being enforced.
Mr.. Jerome, in my mind, has taken the proper
stand"
Call ON Mr.. jerome.
When District Attorney Jerome was in
formed Of the wording of Dr.. Parkhursts
communication, he showed great interest in
it. The phrase about "a Tammany admins
tration that has bad principles and reform
administration that has good principles but is
afraid to use them seemed to amuse him
very much indeed. When he was asked what
he thought of the communication he was
thoughtful for while and then said:
II guess I will fall back on my standard
answer: I decline to make any comment on
the matter"
Some OF Mr.. Jeromes admirers have COM
pared him to the prophet jeremiah These
friends were going around in some slee refer
ring to the district attorneys repeated
prophecies that there were dark and troubled
days coming for the administration OF the
city government if it simply failed to enforce
the laws instead Of advocating laws that
could reasonably be enforced.
While some of Mr.. Lows friends seemed to
have lingering suspicious that Mr.. Jerome
might have had a hand in the preparation Of
the communication of the Society for the
Prevention of Crime. the associates OF the
district attorney are positive in saying that
there is not the slightest ground for such
suspicion.

The Louisiana cane sugar producers are
appealing to the country for continued
protection against free sugar from Cuba,
and against any concession to Cuba in
the sugar tariff. If the cause of the
American sugar producers rested entirely
upon the case of the Louisiana producers
it would probably receive slight consid-
GRAFTON. Louisiana's cane region is too
limited to make the cane sugar industry
big enough to deserve much consideration
it can never supply the sugar demand
of the country; and, besides, northern pro-
tectionists have not forgotten that Louis
lana has always stood with the low tar
if or free trade democracy politically
and that its votes have always been cast
against the party Of protection.

AN UNFORTUNATE DECISION

DR.. D. L. Kiehle's discussion In another
column of the question, SIS Public Edu-
cation a State Charity?" is deserving OF
careful reading and consideration DR..
Kiehle has handled the subject felici-
tously, showing how utterly un-American
and Anticipated is the idea that public edu
cation is charity. That it is such our
supreme court has held, for if the normal
schools are charities there is no escape
from the conclusion that the public
schools are. The normal schools are an
essential part of the public school sys
tenn. Logically they precede it. First
there must be good teachers in order that
there may be good public schools.
There is no occasion to go here over
the ground Dr.. Kiehle has so we'll GOV.
cred, but it is desirable to emphasize the
deplorable effect on the public mind OF
the supreme courts unfortunate decision.
Just when we have got we'll away from
the ancient and cruel fallacy that public
education is charity, a fallacy that
neutralized the early efforts towards
public education in this democratic coun-
try, the supreme court of Minnesota,
western and progressive state with po-
tential school endowment of 100000, 900,
hanks back to the times of Queen Eliza
beth of England to sustain itself in a
finding that the normal schools are chart
ties. The question presented to the court
in the dispute between the normal school
board and the board of education was one
of common sense not of four century old
legal dogma of foreign country. How
utterly out of joint with the age such a
decision is-no matter how good law it
may be-is seen in the fact that public
opinion has refused to accept the courts
decision. The public knows that the pub
| lie school system is not a charity. And
| what the public knows in accord with the
| spirit of the age is more powerful than
| supreme court decisions.
| Yet, for fear of possible consequences
of the courts decision and to wipe out the
stigma, 1t would be we'll to adopt DR..
Kiehle's suggestion and have the legis-
lature authoritatively so class the public
educational system that. it will not be left
| to a court to dub a charity what is
emphatically not charity.

1t is becoming more and more evident
that the Emperor Of Germany has adopted
policy Of friendship for the United
States. 1t was only year ago that he
was talking European opposition to the
American peril, but the increasing fric-
ton with England, the continued hostil
ity Of France and the continuation of the
Franco Russian alliance have, perhaps,
led him to think that it would be we'll to
come to an understanding with the United
States. What extraordinary motive he
can have for ELUSIVE cordially to the
United States is hard to determine. The
historic American policy of keeping out Of
entangling alliances is still in force, and
it is hard to conceive Of an international
emergency in which we could be of any
use to Germany.

CARE We So Soon FORGOTTEN ?"

The baneful effects of procrastination
are experienced by the committee organ
lied to solicit contributions to the Nc
Kinley monument. This committee pro-
ceeded two months ago to organize the
state by counties. The returns from the
state so far as they have been received
are encouraging, although the work was
slow. Some localities, however, have
raised more than the amount apportioned
to them and others report that they will
certainly be able to turn over the sums
they were expected to give at an early
date. Duluth has raised already consid-
cradle more money than was apport1oned
to that city.
The greatest neglect has been mani
tested in st. Paul and Minneapolis. Ten
thousand circular letters, accompanied by
pasteboard receptacles for coins were sent
out in Minneapolis, and 5000 in st. Paul.
The receipts to date are $468 in Mime
apolis and $137 in st. Paul. OF the 10000
solicitations in Minneapolis only 600 have
been heard from.
The committee is satisfied that for the
most part this is due simply to neglect.
They are met daily by people on the
street and elsewhere who acknowledge
receipt of the invitation to contribute
and express their intention to do so, but
the money doesn't come
1t was expected that Minnesota would
contribute $4,000 to the memorial fund.

will do it's share. Duluth has raised
over $1,400-more than twice the amount
received thus far from both st. Paul and
Minneapolis 1t looks as If it were time
for the people of Minneapolis to become
interested in this proposition and take
pains enough to send in the contributions
they mean to make if the credit Of the
state is to be maintained. The school
children of Minneapolis, by permission of
the school board, will have chance to
contribute their pennies, the limit being
placed at 10 cents for each child, on Nc
| Kinley's birthday, Jan. 20, and doubtless
the little people will do their part. If
more interest in the proposition In the
twin cities then they have thus far, the
| result will be in marked contrast to that
! imposing demonstration of public grief on
the streets of Minneapolis on the day of
McKinley's funeral at Canton. ..s#s

Indiana, says DR.. Hinsdale was the first
state Q816) 'to throw its aegis over the pub
lie school lands, as it was to ordain that
the legislature, soon as, circumstances
would permit should provide by law for a
general system of education And now this
high rank given to education, we inherit as
a boon and as serious trust. Shall there be
any CLOUD" &on the honorable title secured
for US at this great cost? There can he but
one answer. Minnesota owes it to herself and
to the nation, that all uncertainty regarding
the place of public education in the admins
tration of public interests be removed And
the simplest, as well as the most natural way
is to petition the legislature that in some
appropriate manner it make such explicit
classification of its educational system, includ-
ing It's institutions, that will accord to them
the high rank and dignity to which they
have attained, and will distinguish them from
those institutions which are charitable and
penal Such petition would be respectful to
our judicial authorities, and would at the
same time express the universal sentiment Of
the American people. ID. L. Kiehle

VETERAN KILLED BY THE CARS
Joshua Beft Found with BrOk eek
at Foot of n Railway Em-
bankment.

The body OF Joshua B. Heft, a veteran Of
the civil war and old time resident Of this
city, was found Monday morning at the
bottom of the Union Pacific grade at Thirty
sixth street. Indications were that he had
been dead several hours and from the fact
that his neck was broken and his chest
crushed 1t is believed he was struck by a
train and thrown down the high embank-
ment.
How he came to be where he was sup
posedly struck by a train is a mystery. As
late as 10 o'clock Sunday night he was
seen in the vicinity OF Pearl street and
Broadway by several persons well ,ac-
Quainted with him. At this time he an
peared to be somewhat under the influence
of liquor.
Deceased was SO years Of age and was
employed as ~janitor of the Grand Army Of
the Republic hall on Pearl street. He was
colonel of the local encampment Of the
Union Veteran legion. Two sons and four
daughters survive him.
Mr.. Heft was born in, Musklngum county.

Der %, 1861, in Company b.. Thirty-second
Illinois infantry and was discharged Sep
TENDER 16, 1855. When discharged he had

The body was removed to Lunkley's I'M
dertaking rooms, where Coroner Treynor
will hold an inquest. this morning.
