The inference ja the Washington dis patch appearing tn the Daily Alaskan yesterday that Gov. Brady might re- sign as a consequence of the adverse re- port as to his administration that Will be made in a few days by Special tN- .aminer Churchill was inspired by one who does not comprehend the peculiar tics of Gov. BraIy's tastes, otherwise it would not have been made Gov Br.dy will never resign no matter what hints he might receive from the executive department that he could serve I, better by stepping down and out than by any other act he is capable of performing. There is only one way to rid the country of Brady, and that Is 70 throw him out.

RATE BILL TO PASS.


 It is said by Washington City news paper correspondents that the presi- dent has won out in his light for rail- road remedial Legislation and that a bill satisfactory to him will pass both houses of congress. The opposition to him went to pieces when 1t was learned that the democratic senator's eu masse, and a minority of the repo0- lican mem bers of the uTper body wouI1 stand together for the executives pIan' This conclusion of the corr,spond- ants and the fact that the president never mentioned tariff revision in his recent message seems to confirm the statement that emanated from Wash inr,ou a short time ago that the preSi- dent had compromised with the rePu6- Ifcsn congressional leaders, giving up his tariff reduction hopes for railroad rate revision support. It is said, how ever. tha, republican senators and rep rssentatives who favor tariff reform will endeavor to press the question 10 to fore after the railroai matter shall have been settled.

School Children az Strikers

A curious condition exists in
come of the public schools OF
Chicago. Many of the pupils went
"on strike" in sympathy" with
the teamsters, and abstained from
attending school. The situation
was tolerated for a time by the
authorities, but it has been decid-
ed at last to take stringent action.
The Board of Education has
given orders that the Compulsory
Education law be rigidly enforced
to compel the 1900 children who
are "on strike" to return to their
books. A large force of special
policemen and truant officers have
been sent out to notify parents to
send their children to school. If
parents do not comply with the
order, but keep their children
away from school for reasons con-
sidered inadequate by the Board
of Education, then, under the
Compulsory Education law, they
may be arrested and tried before
a magistrate.
1t is not easy to understand how
a strike of school children could |
influence in any way the result OF
a contest between employers and
employees, especially in Chicago,
where the people have grown ac-
customed to ALI kinds of erratic
doings. The hope is INDUCED
that it will be a long time before
the Western metropolis is afflicted
with another strike, and that when
the affiiction does come, if ever,
the children may be kept out of it.

CINCINNATI SOCIETY
Ancient Society Holds Meeting
in Richmond

The recent meeting in Richmond
Of the Society of the Cincinnati
has directed special attention to
this ancient and honorable body,
In June, 1888, officers of the
Revolutionary army met on the
banks of the Hudson River, in the
State OF New York, and organized
the Society of the Cincinnati.
The object of this society was "to
perpetuate the friendships formed
during the contest recentlyiended;
to keep alive the patriotism of it's
members, and to provide for the
needy among their number" The
distinction having been made
hereditary, the society was bitterly
attacked by some as being opposed
to republican equality, and even
Benjamin Franklin thought that
he saw in it the gem of a future
aristocracy. So bitter was the Oh.
position that in several cities char
tiers were refused to the branch
societies and some Of the societies
were finally dissolved.
But the fears Of the opposition
were groundless. They reckoned
not with the spirit of true demo-
cracy, which was almost as the
religion of the American people.
The members of the Society of the
Cincinnati had worked together
and fought together in a patriotic
cause, and were bound together
by the ties Of sacred association |
and sacrifice In a sort of spiritual
democracy. Such an organization
was necessarily conservative and
there could be no faint OF aristoc-
racy. Its founders fought for
independence, for manhood, for
'elf-government, for individual
liberty, for equal rights to every
nan. They fought for the estab-
ishment aud perpetuation of
democracy in its full and glorious
ignificance. 1t is true that they
proposed to pass along the honors
rom father to son, but in the very
lature OF the case that which they
landed down was democracy, and
o-day the Society of the Cincin-
lati is representative Of true
Americanism.
