Supt. Joyner's Report, ON page
387, shows that $58S, 389.3s more
money was put into the public
schools during the year 1902 than
there was In 1899, yet the school
term for the white schools in 1902
was only two and two-fifths weeks
longer than in 1899. Estimating
the cost Of the public schools at
$4,000 for one day, this enormous
increase in the school fund should
have increased the school term nine
weeks-and thereby given US SIX
months school term in 1902
throughout the State, instead of a
four-months' term, as we have now.
WHAT THE FUSION LEGISLATURES
DID FOR EDUCATION.
The school term in. 1898 was two
and one-third weeks longer than in
1897 without increasing the rate of
taxation or appropriating an extra
dollar for schools. This was done
by the Fusion Legislature of 1897.
who gave North Carolina the best
school law Of any State in the South.
and If that law had not been tam
pered with by subsequent Demo-
cratic Legislatures, North Carolina
Today would have had q four
months school term without an
extra dollar of appropriation, and I
North Carolina would have saved
is credit and over one-half million
iollars in money.

Democrats Butt In.

The Democrats took a lively inter-
est in the Republican primaries, and if
they had not had contests on alder
men in most of the wards they would
have been a large factor in the choice
of the Republican candidate for mayor.
In the wards where there was no con-
test over Democratic aldermen we'll
known Democratic workers, members
of the street gang and even some men,
bers of city departments called for Re
publican tickets. The purpose was ap-
parent The Democrats would like to
have the man at the head of the Re-
publican ticket the easiest possible for
them to defeat at the election. For
tunately, they had troubles of their
own in some of the wards.
This stale and silly statement that
has done duty on many previous occa-
sions was apparently quoted from some
old account of former election with
out duly considering what conclusions
might be drawn from it at the present
time. 1t is rather interesting to apply
it to the facts from Democratic
standpoint
According to our contemporary, a
very large number of Democrats must
have called for and voted Republican
tickets. According to it, the orders to
that effect had been sent out and the
whole city organization was bent upon
choosing an unpopular or unfit nom
inee for mayor Now the total Repub-
lican vote for mayor was 1882, and the
total Democratic vote 9,141. On this
basis, therefore, it would appear by
Republican admission that the Demo-
cratic total vote must be several thou
sand in the ascendency, since every
Democrat who used Republican bal
lot would really add two votes to the
tally of that party.
The second conclusion is exceedingly
interesting. It is admitted by a Re-
publican organ that "the' Democrats
would like to have the man at the head
of the Republican ticket the easiest
possible for them to defeat at the cleo
ton" Well, they showed good judg-
ment in their course. We can at least
commend the frankness and sincerity
of our contemporary in admitting the
morning after the primary that Col F.
P. Wright is the easiest possible man
for the Democrats to beat" We agree
with it.

We give considerable space this
morning to communications from Fort
Smelling commenting on some remarks
made recently in public address by
Mr.. Gustave Seholle, together with an
interview in which he explains the Of
fensive allusion. We have also per-
mitted a rather unusual latitude in
discussion to our correspondents, in
view of the natural warmth Of their
feelings. OF course the words used by
Mr.. Scholle would call out just such
indignant rejoinder, and equally Of
course neither he nor any one else who
knows anything of the army could
mean that they be literally taken or
generally applied. 1t is. we believe, thor
oughly well established that the aver
age Of morals and of conduct is at least
as high in the army as among any sim
liar number of young men Of the same
age taken anywhere from civil life.
Our regard for the soldier in war is
matched by our respect for him in
peace, and we are glad of an occasion
that permits this to be said with EN-
phasis.

THE REAL PREMIER.

Joseph Chamberlain Is today the real
prime minister and ruler Of England,
and will so remain until another par
lament shall have been chosen. The
dictatorial spirit of the man, backed
by his real ability, have put him in the
position he has long coveted. He has
mission precisely the same means that
he employed with Mr.. Gladstone. The
beaten, the result was a split in the
party. Mr.. Balfour is of a different
temper and kisses the rod.
A recent division in parliament
shows that the defeetions from the
Conservatives have been so great and
the energy of the free traders so sue
cessful that the government now holds
power by very narrow margin. Mr..
BaIfour would have made a compro-
mise, involving practical retreat from
the extreme position he had taken at
the dictation of Mr.. Chamberlain, but
the latter quickly gave the command
hands up" His followers organized a
faction within the party, just as the
Unionists did in home rule times, and
served notice upon the premier that
if he did not retract they would join
the Liberals and put him out of power.
He surrendered Internationally, and
Mr.. Chamberlain became the supreme
dictator of English policies and Eng
lish legislation.
To this supremacy he has long as
pired, and there is something about the
man which makes us believe that he
enjoys power more when thus indi-
rectly conferred and welded over an
unwilling subordinate than he would
if it came to him from the people di-
rect and uncha1lenged. OF course the
situation in parliament itself Is one
that cannot long endure. The govern
ing majority will soon go to pieces.
Unless England can be drawn into the
Russo Japanese war, a performance
which it is quite within the scope of
Mr.. Chamberlain's tactics to bring
about, the ministry Is almost at the
end of it's tether, and the appeal to the
country near at hand.

but Democratic voters were put to
great inconvenience and the. city to
considerable expense by having to fur
nish large blocks of ballots at the last
moment. on demand. by special mes
sages and conveyances.
A public official who can be guilty of
ousted at the first opportunity. AS a
whole the county government of Ram
sey county today is something for gods
and men to weep over. If it were not
desirable on grounds of economy to
have our city and county governments
consolidated, it would be worth the eff
fort of every good citizen to get rid of
such political refugees as the Repub-
liean members of the county board and
politicians of such caliber as the county
auditor has shown himself to be.
OF course no explanation that credits
this deficiency to the mistake Of sub
ordinates will stand for moment. The
head of the office is responsible for its
conduct, and cannot permit an act Of
this kind without suffering for it. The
reflection which rests upon the county
auditor must be shared by the entire
party in whose supposed interest this
discrimination by public official was
made.

A PETTY BUSINESS.

In politics as elsewhere pettiness
gives an added depth of darkness to
disrepute. We forgive a grand scoun-
drel more readily than a sneak thief,
and small WEAKNESSES are so disgusting
that we almost overlook their immo-
rality. We cannot see what excuse can
be made for the performance of the
county auditor in failing to furnish a
sufficient supply of Democratic ballots
in a large number of precincts for the
primaries on Tuesday.
The table published yesterday morn
ing of the number Of ballots furnished
in fifteen precincts as compared with
the vote last cast seems to US conclu-
sive evidence that the occurrence was
not accidental, but intended. The law
of the subject is plain. Each precinct
is to be supplied with primary ballots.
rs per cent in excess of the total vote
at the last preceding election. Not
only was this not done, but the Demo-
cratic ballots furnished were in several
cases actually less in number than the
vote cast two years ago, while the Re-
publican ballots sent in ran as high as
from two to five times the vote cast
The result was not materially affected,

POSTMASTER GENERALS j.,
CONDITION IS BAD
MIR. Payne Has Been in Bed Ten Days,
Chafes and Is Depressed.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March 49,
Postmaster General Payne is much
weaker than has been generally be-
lieved, and it is likely that he will be
unable to resume his duties for several
weeks. He has undergone a severe at
tack of govt about the knees and both
feet His weakness has been aggra-
waited by his efforts to sit up and trans
act official business with his secretary
and to see callers.
That Mr.. Payne is in an exceedingly
weak state is known among his close
friends, and he is being carefully
guarded against excitement. He has
been unable to leave his bed for almost
ten days, and has had considerable diff
fculty in taking nourishment, but he
is gradually improving in this respect.
Mr.. Payne normally is never strong,
and has frequently been very i'll, but
heretofore has rallied quickly. He
chafes considerably under the restraint
of medical treatment and becomes de-
pressed.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

OF the city ticket nominated by the
Republicans it is, perhaps, kindest to
say little. There seems to have been
a general understanding within the
party that this should be a mortuary
year, in which the political corpses still
walking about our streets as If they
were actually alive should be buried
for good and all. The voters will tell
Mr. F. P. Wright and Mr.. A. r. Kiefer
what they think Of them later on.
Meantime the party will probably be
glad to have disposed, once for all, of
it's colonels and ex-mayors in one.
The party did surprisingly poorly in
respect to it's other nominees. It was
understood that special effort would
be made on both sides to secure men Of
high standing for the assembly, but
there was lamentab1e fault in Repub-
lican quarters. There are several good
names on their assembly ticket, but it
cannot for moment be compared as
whole with that of the Democrats. The
same is true Of their aldermanfc NOM
nations; and their entire ticket is con-
spicuous by its general weakness. Per-
haps the success Of Mr.. Schurmeier In
securing Republican nomination may
be made a measure Of the spirit that
animated the party at the polls.
The Republican candidates are easy
to beat; taken as whole they deserve
that fate; and the citizens will see that
they do not escape 1t. Even in those
Republican circles where good govern
ment means less than the party name
we doubt if there will be much mourn
ing over that event.

At St. Paul Theaters

Louis James and Frederick Warde,
| accompanied by as capable an organi-
cation as Wagenhals and Kemper could
select, will be the attraction at the Met

commencing Sunday night. The OPEN
ing bill will be "Othe1Io"; on Monday
and Tuesday evening alexander the
Great the new play by Rupert
Hughes and Collin Kernper will be
presented for the first time in st. Paul.
The scenes are laid in the far off lands
of centuries past, and the care with
which the exactions of the play regard
ing costumes and accessories have been
followed is a lesson in the lengths to
which the latter day manager is placed
to secure precision in effects. The life
and atmosphere of Macedonia, Egypt,
Babylonia and Persia are said to be
placed on the stage with accuracy. AT
the Wednesday matinee Julius Caesar"
will be offered, and at night Macbeth
will be presented. The sale of seats
will open this morning.
"The Sign of the Four" which is the
attraction at the Grand this week, deals
with the fortunes of the great Agra
treasure, which costs many lives and
finally is the motive of a crime, the
cause of a mystery which Sherlock
Holmes is called upon to solve.
.For Her Childrens Sake" melo
drama by Theodore Kremer, will be
seen at the Grand next week.
The Utopian Extravaganza company
is giving a very pleasing performance
at the Star this week, and the lovers
of this amusement are filling the house
twice daily. There will be a ladies'
matinee tomorrow afternoon.
