They All Brought Good Excuses

The drudgery of teaching in public

postponed its consideration until DE
cember.
Since the election, a Republican Con
gress has turned deaf ear to the la
borer's cry for relief from government
by injunction; and Republican Sen
ate has refused to grant the demand o.
the people for the election of United
States Senators by direct vote.
And all the while an exorbitant tar
iff is working injustice to the con,
sumers and enabling the beneficiaries
OF protection to sell at home at high
price and compete in foreign markets
at lower price.
While the exploiters have been
pressing their advantages at home and
abroad the interests of the producers
of wealth on the farm, in the factory
and in the mines have been utterly ig-
nored, and the small business man has
been left to such precarious existence
as the trusts permit him to enjoy.
How can the opponents of aristoc-
racy and plutocracy be united for a
uccessful attack upon entrenched
privilege? Not by making peace with
the enemy; not by initiating their
works, their methods or their phrase
ology, but by honest, straightforward
appeal to the American people upon
platform that can be, understood and
with an organization that can be
trusted. Already many of the Repub-
licans are wavering, but they can nev-
er be won TO the Democratic party as
long as they can say that our party is
as bad as theirs. Not by surrender,
not by compromise, not by equivoca-
ton, not by ambiguity, not by vacilla-
tion, is the victory to be won, but by
bold, constant, persistent, steadfast
defense Of the interests of the people
at al times, under all circumstances
and on all questions. To lose faith in
the expediency of such a course is to
lose faith in the omnipotence of truth.
Upon this basis we can not only har-
monize all who are Democratic IN sem
liment and sympathy, but we can draw
TO our party those of the opposition
who cherish Democratic ideas, but
have been misled by Republican argu-
ments.

BUSINESS
Is Expected Of Night
School Pupils.
The Institution Will Be Like That
of Last Year.

Good things are expected by the
Board of Education from the sessions
of the night school this winter for
which arrangements have already been
made. The schools of the past two
winters were more or less experiments,
and While they were not especially
costly, the Board learned several
things about conducting night schools
which 1t had not known before.
The school this winter will be prac-
tically like that of last year. 1t is not
expected that the enrolment of pupils
will be as large, but it is anticipated
that those who do attend will do so
entirely and exclusively for business
and for no social purpose. The prin-
ciples of the English language are
sought by night school pupils more
than any other branch of learning
1t is not yet known who will COM
pose the teaching force this year.
