ito give persons against whom these
complaints are made time to decide

nothing has been done, issue the war

An information was prepared for
every school in the city. The Building
OFFICE has been after the School Board

favorable answer from that body It

versy considerably. This building, a
thrce-story structure, was damaged TO
the extent of $4,000. but unfortunately

Tho Only Way,

The Boston Herald says a little r.
Election has brought the Democracy -
realize that not all the protectionists
are in the Republican party. This is
true. Many Democrat has seen the
efficacy Of protection demonstrated
time and again until he has come to
see that. after all. 1t is the desirable
policy for this country to maintain.
Still, the leaders who will control the
course OF the Democratic party are
most of them committed to the very
opposite tariff theory. and IL we are
to have any assurance of maintaining
the tariff protective policy, the only
way is to keep In power the party
that established 1t as the policy of the
government in opposition to the deter
mined resistance of the Democratic
leaders.-Shelbyville Qnd) Republic.
