appointed by a Republican mayor to dis
place Democrat on the board, excepting
Mr.. H. c. McNair, who was originally
and always an appointee of Mayor Smith.
The dishonesty of the criticisms made
by the Republicans politicians in this cam
paign at the instigation of City Comp
troller McCardy, because of the liberal
expenditures of the public funds for the
construction of schools, is shown quite
clearly by another brief extract from the
report CT President Corning, as follows:
The sacrifices made in the past even
if continued in the future, would be in
adequate. The growth of our school pop
ulation alone is so considerable that we
must choose between increased eypendi-
ture for maintenance or some valuable
part or parts of the system. We do not
believe that there should be any impair
-ment; we do not believe that the people
of St Paul desire it, and we earnestly
hope to see the work continually strength
ening and growing. The board of school
inspectors can have no other object and
has 10 other object, in view than the
highest welfare of the youth of St Paul
,as provided for in school work at the
lowest possible COST
Sacrifices Were in Vain.

president Of a board of school inspectors,
composed entirely of Republicans, and adj
dressed by him and them to the mayor
of st. Paul. This mayor and his party ap-
pointees in Office McCardy now seeks to
displace, because their administration
thought proper to meet the requirements
of situation created largely through Re-
publican parsimony in the past, and
which operated to deprive the children Of
our people of the inestimable boon of free
access to the American free school sys-
tenn.
For many years the people of the city
of st. Paul had been subjected to the
deepest humiliation because of the want
of proper school facilities. Not only that,
but the necessary money to run the
schools had not often been forthcoming,
and none, either in or out of official life,
could see where it was to come from. The
teachers went without pay for months
at a time. few of them finally got tir-
ed of the situation, and removed to ether
cities where at least they We're certain to
receive their pay, when a. J as soon as it
was earned. But the bulk of the teach
ing staff remained loyal to the city, not
withstanding the jeers which were di-
reeted at them from other communities,
that they We're in the service of a city
which was not able to pay them their
salaries.
City's Credit Was Impaired.
No one win ever be able to estimate the
terrible injury which resulted to the city
of ST. Paul by the continuance Of the
failure of the city to meet its obligations
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-04-20

in regard to the public schools. 1t went
abroad that the schools had to be closed
because there was no money to pay the
teachers.
Yet there was no remedy. The consi-
tuition forbid the enactment of the special
legislation which would have removed the
difficulty. But finally the city made its
own charter, and the difficulty was in a
measure solved. Then it became neceS-
sary to get legislation to increase the tax
levy. This was done, and extra pro-
visions were made in the charter.
Here we have a Republican board OF
school directors urging on Mayor Smith
and a Democratic council to grant the
moneys necessary to give every child in
the city a free school education. Then we
have Republican legislature to enable
the city to increase its tax levy in order
to enable all the children that wanted to
go to school to do so. The Democratic
mayor ard council granted the demand Of
a Republican board Of school inspectors.

evident that some relief must be had, We
have made a very careful and conserva-
tive estimate of what we deem essential
The previous year the board had been
obliged to get along, according to Presi-
dent Corning, with SCI, 900 less than asked
for. That body had tried to increase the
number of sttings but were unable to do
so on account of the reduction of the
budget by q Republican council ac-
guessed in by Republican mayor.
This was the situation at the opening
of the present Democratic city admins
tration. The board of inspectors at that
time was composed of the following ma m

matter of the construction and equipment
of these schools it will be seen that every

throughout the winter has been solved.
Mr. KuenzeI has invented a small light

The small quantity of oil required will
enable sufficient quantities to be produced
for carrying on operations on a large
scale. The receipt of a first installment
of these machines, which are being manu-
featured in the East for an Arctic Heat

CO. is eagerly awaited.

Fuel n Great Problem.
1t is an admitted fact that the Nome
Kougarock, Bluestone and Arctic mining
districts are beyond all question as rich
as any other vet discovered. Owing to
the total absence of fuel in the winter,
however, and the high pr ce of it in SUM

on in that country until the ground has
been thawed out in the summer by the
forces of nature. No thawing of ground
can be done in that country as has bee1
done in the Klendike, with steam thawers
because in the latter region there is a

McCardy Diverts the Funds.

McCardy Diverts the Funds.
Now, the money which the board of
school inspectors asked should be de-
voted to the construction of those schools,
and which the council appropriated to that
purpose, is not forthcoming. 1t has been
used by McCardy for some other purpose
than that for which it was appropriated.
He spent it, he says, in paying some of
the other bills of the school department.
In other words he diverted the money to
some other use than that for which 1t
was designed. He set himself above the
law, defied the wIl of the council, ignored
the repeated warnings and directions of
the city attorneys office. and used the
moneys for what he pleased to use them,
rather than for what the law and the
city government said they should be used
for.
The result of this is that while all the
schools last mentioned have been con-
tracted fer. the money is net available TO
pay for them. me people of the First and
Fifth and Tenth wards must accordingly
go without the necessary provision for
the schooling of their children until this
high official outrage of --cCardy
has been rcmedied, and the necessary
! moneys are forthcoming. How much this
means the people of lie First ward under
stand specially well. But they are most
~ good Republicans, and are expected TO
! offer no objection. The people OF other
sections have general knowledge of it also.
Here is Illustration: In the First
ward alone there were in the month of
March last thirteen rooms in the public
schools in which the pupils were able only
70 get a half days schooling. 1t was to
remedy this state of things that the adj
dition was ordered to be made to the
Grant school and that the Harrison school
was ordered to be built. But the people
of the ward will have to go on just as
before until the deliberate act of official

| was presented to the council accordingly.

| quently by a resolution originating in the
assembly this amount of $4,000 was re-
duced to $1G7, $50 because it was found
under the charter that this was the limit
allowed. This left the total amount voted
by the Democratic council in 1880 for the
schools of ST. Paul still aprpoximating
500 coo.
Now, how was this sum expended? The
appropriations for salaries of teachers,
officers. clerks, engineers and janftors
were, of course, deovted to the purposes
designed, and the report of the board Of
school inspectors for 1900 shows how every
