The Massachusetts, Democrats.

Two things suggest themselves in connec-
ton with the nomination of w. L. Doug
las. the shoe man, for the governorship of
Massachusetts. The first Is that the cam
paign committee need incur no expense for
lithographing. Everybody In the state and
many outside Of 1t are familiar with Mr..
Douglas features through the wide ad-
vertisement OF his profitable business. The
second thing Is that the issue of free hides
has thus been most directly emphasized.
OF course Mr.. Douglas wants free hides.
He can use them In his trade. Prospects of
democratic success in the Bay State are

The health officer now proposes that the
dog pound be improved. The present struc-

$4,000 a year.
Warming is given that the pound should

the dogs and the neighbors. No well-bred

present miserable makeshift of pound is
demanded.

praised by the one side as by the other.
Mr.. Lincoln passed through such a storm
of detraction and scurrility as never beat
upon any of our public men before, and yet
today there are democratic spellbinders
seeking votes by declaring that If alive he
would be acting with their party.
What is the lesson? Is 1t that we should
play our parts with all our might, giving
and taking without mercy. and trust to
the future to set everything right? The
future has that way about her. Whether
We consider her or not. she takes our cases

Is on, and put to ourselves that apt ques-
ton suggested by Emerson, why so hot,

1t may not matter. Strong men-and it
takes strong men to do the worlds most
difficult business-are not deferred by mis-
representation and abuse. while weak men
are not encouraged to great things by any
means We may employ.

Mr.. Hoar's Memory

The tributes TO Mr.. Hoar's memory from
democratic sources, and particularly in the
south. have been of very warm descrip-
ton. His high character. his great talents.
his public services and his stout patriot
ism are all referred to in terms of the
most generous praise. His death is sim

And yet in his day Mr.. Hoar was a red
hot partisan. He was republican of re-
publicans. In the south he was tagged as
black republican In that sec
ton, is the limit He was the subject re-
peatedly of the bitterest assaults by the
opposition. His ability was belittled his
motives were impugned and his appearance
ridiculed. He was oftener presented In
petticoats than In trousers, and made to
appear as fussy old grandmother with a
grievance.
This reversal of Judgment does not by any
means stand alone. Mr.. Hoar himself had
softened quite as much toward the south
as the south toward him. And there is Mr..
Mckinley, but few years ago the target

Public School Gardens.

That the children of the public schools
can be led to make of themselves successful
gardeners was amply demonstrated last
night by the exhibition at the Franklin

marked manner to the fact that there Is in

Bryan and Parker.

Why there should be such a furry at this
late day over Mr.. Bryan's position is not
clear. He has never for a moment dis
gulsed his feelings. His opposition to
Judge Parker before the nomination was
no less vigorous than outspoken. He went
to that extent, indeed. as to leave no way
open for retreat so far as the candidate
was concerned. He not only disapproved
of the man. but Of those who were In
charge of his candidacy. and he fought
them from start to finish with all the re-
sources at his command.
1t may be said with safety, too. that Mr..
Bryan's opposition would have been quite
as strong If serious attempt had peeii
made at st. Louis to substitute either MI.
Cleveland. or Mr.. German, or MI. Hiii lor
tho New York jurist All four men In Mr.
Rrysn's eyes stood for the same thlng-
tho repudiation of what has come TO Dc
known as Organism. He did not like the
cut of their jibs. and he warned his party
that II would be difficult with any such
man In the lead to persuade voters that a
genuine appeal was being made in the
name of democracy.
But II did not take Mr.. Bryan long after
arriving In st. Louis to discover that, so
far as the candidate was concerned his
fight was lost. His choice therefore was
between boiling or securing such express
sions In the platform as would leave him
with an excuse for supporting the ticket
and small hope for reviving his policies
in the name Of democracy in the event
of Judge Parker's defeat. He chose the
latter course, and the silence on the money
ISSUE the assertion that protection is rob-
berry, and the promise as to the Philip
pines, all testify to his success.
Still. with Judge Parker as the candi-
date, and with Mr.. Hill and Mr.. German
as his chief advisers, and the Belmonts
and many of the trust magnates assisting
in the money arrangements of the cam
paign, how can Mr.. Bryan be expected to
speak with undiluted enthusiasm for the
ticket? 1t would be disastrous to him and
Improbable to the party for him to eat his
words by turning eulogist and decorating
Judge Parker with the flowers of his
8 rhetoric. He is doing only what was to
be expected of him. Having accepted Judge
Parker in preference to Mr.. Roosevelt as
a choice of evils, he is asking his sup
pCrters to do the same thing.
Let there be fair play for Mr.. Bryan.

ors. but under none that may be called

The Teachers Pay.

Comparisons with other cities will clearly
demonstrate that Washington pays its pub
lie school teachers less than the average,
while exacting from them more than the
average ability and industry. The local
schools are maintained at their high stage
of effectiveness through the energies and
talents of these worthy men and women,
and 1t is due to them that after many years
justice should be done to them in the form
of better pay for their excellent work. 1t
is to this end that the association of Wash
ington teachers was organized last winter.
That body has been energetic in the collec-
ton of comparative data. and was pre-
pared at yesterdays meeting to proceed in
a businesslike manner to the framing of a
new pay schedule which 1t has proposed
to the board of education. That body will
now. doubtless, consider the teachers own
scale while preparing the annual estimates,
and 1t is to be hoped that it will see it's
way clear to an Endorsement of the propo-
sition. 1t is due to the teachers that their
salaries be rated upon definite basis and
that annual changes be according to a
fixed system.
When in 1878. the Districts finances were
found to be in bad way, and retrench-
ment was required in every municipal de-
partment. the salaries of the. teachers were
ruthiessly cut. They have never been as
high since then. They are now, 1t is stated,
111s per cent lower than twenty-five years
ago. The proposed schedule of the teach
ers is based in general upon the salaries
that were paid prior to 1878, with such
changes as the present conditions require
The effort, therefore, is merely to restore
the old. to put the schools back upon the

but not because the current revenues are
insufficient to meet the current needs, and
to afford an ample margin for a proper
maintenance of important permanent i'm
provements provided those improvements
basis. Congress has seen fit to frame
the budget each year of late upon
the principle of making the District pay as
1t goes for both current and extraordinary
works, in full light of the fact that such a
scheme inevitably leads to a surplus on
the wrong side The only proper basis
for the estimates for the municipal sala-
ries, therefore. is not what the estimated
revenues will actually bear, but what the
salaries and other items should be- It is
well known now that the deficit will exist
anyhow, and that 1t is to be financed later
in some manner loan. Hence the pro-
posed teachers schedule must be consid-
cred on it's merits. as though 1t were GER
tain that there would be an ample income
next year without prospect of nominal
deficits.
To restore the salaries to the point from
which they were cut in 1878 will not be an
extravaganza. 1t viii mean better service
on the part Of the teachers; therefore bet
ter schools. and finally better citizens of
the future. Parsimony in this line is a
serious mistake. Liberality Is merely an
investment certain to yield rich dividends
