THE SCHOOL BOARDS "STATEMENI."

The statement" presented by the school board to the district court, showing an estimate of the ex- penses which the board expects to incur between and July I, next, is somewhat remarkab be one, in- asmuch as it foreshadows an anticipated deficit of $6,54S50 on that date.
 There is one virtue which the school board does not lack. It will be apparent to most that the board Is composed of as modest lot of had honor and responsibility thrust upon them. They signify their intention to expend every dollar in sight and create indebtedness for their successors to battle with, and then, metaphorically, they snap their fingers in the face of the public and inquire: "What you going to do about ?" Nothing, nothing, good gentlemen, simply because can't. The community is bound hand and foot, and the Ph.listines be upon The sons of Anak mighty men, and they tell us plainly that they mas ters, their slaves. They announce their deermina ti,n to spend every cent of the school fund, if they have to erect fence around the $l6O0O school house and paint it red, white and blue. The money is the D. ope's, not theirs, and it must be spent.
 Now we have always advocated the best schools for the children of Alaska the best accommodations the best teachers and the best appliances should be theirs, for the law and the people provide the money to all these. But neither the law nor the people ever intended that two three should Usc tuc hoHey so pIoSlueu HI EeCAtSS anu gant manner.
 Someone who has figured 1t cut says that it will cost under the direction of the school board, about $35 month for the education of each child in the public schools of Nome. We have not looked into the figures, but had thought the cost would total 2 greater amount. Now submit it would he cheaper for the board to hire private tutor for each pupil. and the board might partially redeem them selves by pointing to the fact that they employed a great deal of labor.
 But, seriously speaking, there is graver side to this question; we have hesitation in saying that the school board has moral right to expend such sums of money in schools and school houses. There is want and Restitution in Nome and. claim, q portion of this school fund could and should have been used to relieve distress. Relief come, and upon the people, already taxed most burdensome extent. must the additional burden fall.
 In the estimates prepared by the school board we 'notce that the of $3.OO0 is demanded for an additional school building. We would like to ask the board why additional school house is needed Were they really in earnest when the sum 'set aside," or was it simply attempt to make show ing?" We venture the prediction that the school accommodations already provided will be quite suff. cient for some time to We will also make other prediction The next school board will profit the and exravagances of their predecessors

PRESIDENT ROOSEvfLT'S ADMINISTRATION.

We would very much like to know something concerning the dongs of that august body, but we will probably not obtain any information for come weeks 10 come The present will be import. ant session of congress and is likely to he continued {, until we'll on in the summer
 While President Roosevelt announced his deter imitation to carry,n out he the policies outlined by President Mckinley, must be expected that he will < do 50; but he will probably go further. Roose welt is strong, practical man; he is of ideas, and he will scarcely content himself with merely fol- lowing tho path marked out for him. He will break new trails where they will lead is another question. We may assume that the paths will be safe for the nation. but that he will bend every effort to make the United States respected at home and abroad scarcely he doubted.
 President Roosevelt's administration marks the beginning of new epoch in history, in that he Is the first to hold the office. since the civil war, who ,uas not of age at that time to take part in it. Indeed, President Cleveland is the only one since James Buchanan who an active partcipator ih the struggle.

 rison, Taylor and Buchanan, have been as old as sixty five at the time of their inauguration, the chances that the chief executive will hereafter come from different generation from those who served from 1861 to 1901.

QUIET PREVAILS IN MoRoNe.

Governor Wright Says Insurrection
In Province Is Expiring.
Manila March Acting Governor
Wright says that the province of Mo
rong and tie entire provinces of Rial
were never more peaceful than they
are now, and that the recent occur,
rences were entirely due to the influ-
ences of insurgents who had been driv-
en- from Laguna and Balangas prov
inces. The utterances of Senor Am
phil, the former president of the town
of Gaintra Morong, who was recently
captured by insurgents and subse-
quently escaped, are classed by Mr.
Wright as being merely the remarks
of a man half-craZed with terror. The
action of the band which captured Am.
phil was largely due to a personal ven
delta The constabulary have already
dispersed the band and captured many
arms, and have completely broken the
power of Montalon, the old Ladrone
chief, who for years was the terror OF
the province.
