Municipal Ownership in New Yorl

The School Garden.

Several subjects of major Importance VIII
occupy the board of education when that
body meets tonight to consider estimates
for school expenses for 1867.
The matter of teachers salaries will call
for cautious and exceedingly diplomatic
treatment Everybody agrees with the
teachers that they should have higher pay;
that their usefulness to the community in
directing the minds of children Is beyond
measure; that their work is onerous and re-
sponsible. and that in the matter of COM
pensation they have suffered neglect. But
to get the money out of the treasury Is
another proposition. 1t is hoped that the
board of education and the District Com
missioners may find some way of harmonic
ing the just requirements of the teachers
with the views of legislators and treasury
watch-dogs.
There is one thing which ought to receive
friendly consideration at tonight's meeting.
II is the school garden. An estimate to pro-
mote this work should be included in the
budget. All the results achieved by the
school garden workers in the District have
been at private expense. True, the De-
partment of Agriculture has contributed
seeds and shrubbery, but the school garden
ers got these things not as a matter OF
right, but as an act Of grace. This aid
might be withheld at any time. All other
expense attached to the garden work has
been betrayed by teachers and children.
Nobody can maintain that the teachers as
class are so prosperous that they should
dig down into their own pockets to support
a valuable part of the public school system

Commissioner West

In the reappointment of Commissioner
West for another term of three years the
President has followed the sound principle
that one good term deserves another Every
year of official life, when the man is capable
and progressive. broadens his knowledge
and experience and makes him more valu-
able as public servant to the community.
Commissioner West has rendered intelligent
and faithful service to the District during
the last three years, and in the three years
TO come his labors In the interest of the
city's welfare will surely be productive of
even greater public benefit. The people Of
Washington, who appreciate thoroughly
the good work that Commissioner West has
done, are to be congratulated upon his re-
appointment.

HYDE to Testify,

James Hazen Hyde has made the proper
decision, and when he appears before the
insurance investigating committee he should
unbosom himself completely. He Is young.
and may be little foolish on the subject
of what Is called society, but he has had
considerable experience with the captains
of finance in New York, and must have a
stirring tale to tell in which some Of them
figure. He need not speak in revenge, al
though in the effort on the one hand to
portray him as a saphead. and on the other
to give him the character of a schemer
capable of leading his elders astray, he has
much provocation. Just let him tell all
that Mr. Hughes wants to know about his
part in certain transactions, and he will
serve the public far better than he has ever
done hitherto. For the first time in his life
and maybe For the last, he is a man OF real
importance.

Pattison's Congressional Record

1.-The canvass In Ohio this year is one OF
unusual interest for the reason that the
governor and the other state officers to be
elected will serve for three years and will
thus be in Office during the next presiden-
tial election time. The democrats are try
Ing to confine the canvass to state issues,
but that Is impossible. In their platform
they brought in the tariff in the first plank.
and the chairman of their state conven-
ton declared that they would WELD uneno-
ing hostility to a protective tariff.
"Mr. Pattison. the democratic candidate
for governor, has said nothing on any ma
tional topic SO far in the canvass, but he
has a record as member Of Congress from
which he cannot easily escape. He was a
member of the Fffty-second Congress, and
voted for some of the 'popgun' tariff bills
that were put through the House at that
time by the democrats. In fact, his record
is that of free trade democrat, and in his
first public speech In this canvass he de-
clared that Mr.. Bryan was his ideal of
statesman. and he mentioned Tom john
son of Cleveland as another IDEAL"
Think of those little popgun tariff bills
rising up at this day, thirteen years after
their passage by the House, to plague
man! They were such inconsequential
things, such shifty evasions of plain and
promised party duty, that they pointed
the legislative jests of the period. Thomas
B. Reed the republican leader at that
time. directed some Of his sharpest shafts
at them. both in his public deliverances and
In his private conversations. He was never
wittier during his whole long residence in
Washington.
The story of that day Is illuminative Of
the difficulty the democracy has had with
the tariff ever since the civil war. It has
always Numbered too loudly in the index.
There never was day when It's tariff plat
forms, or the campaign interpretations Of
them. could have been written into law.
Mr.. Cleveland's messages, or Mr.. Vests
speeches, or Mr.. Watterson's editorials If
leglslatively expressed, would have upset
the business of the whole country. The
result was that the party, after a triumph
az the polls. either in a presidential or
cor gressional contest, has always had to
confess. to a mild game of bunco. 1t has
never been able to deliver the tariff goods
promised in convention or on the stump.
Those ridiculous popgun bills grew out OF
such a situation. The democracy had
swept the country In the congressional cleo
lions of 1900 on the issue of the Mckinley
tariff bill. which had been passed month
before and which in that campaign it had
der ounced as the sum of all protection In
EQUITY. And yet when the House thus
chosen assembled, Charles F. Crisp. a semi
protectionist. was elected Speaker over
Roger O. Mills, an outspoken free trader,
and WILLIAM M. Springer was made chair
man Of ways and means over men like
william L. Wilson, Henry G. Turner and
Benton McMillin. all three of the old guard
OF revenue reformers.
And now Mr.. Pattison of Ohio is called
to account for voting for those little homeo-
pathic tariff pelletsI Well, WELT

The New York Battle.

There will be an interesting campaign In
New York after all. The republicans have
found a good man to stand for the mayor
atty the Hearst movement has life in It,,
and Tammany has accepted Mr.. Jerome 8
challenge. While the odds are with Mr..
Mcclellan. his majority may not be, as at
one time appeared likely, record-breaking.
Certain 1t seems to be that In the coming
three weeks the biggest of our big towns Is
booked for a shaking up.
Mr.. WINS does not bring to the repub-
lican ticket the strength that Mr.. Hughes
would have brought But he is clean
man, and has in years past been active In
behalf of good local government. More
over. he has held local Office. and by that
means is familiar with the requirements OF
the city. AS mayor he would take hold
with sure hand. But the republicans are
apathetIc, and Mr. Plat has already con-
coded Mr. McClellan's election, and the full
party strength may not be forthcoming at
the polls.
Mr.. Hearst is in earnest-dead in earnest
and his votes will be drawn almost wholly
from the democracy. He himself Is DEM
ocrat, and municipal ownership mas peen
Endorsed by Mr.. Bryan. So that many DEM
ocrats NAV be induced to support him. His
candidacy, despite Mr.. Murphy's airy persi-
hage. is far from giving joy to Tammany.
But the most striking feature OF all is the
rejection of Jerome by Tammany. 1t shows
courage. one must admit, and consistency.
Mr. Jerome had invited the action and now
that il has been taken he VIII reply 10 II Wy
a vigorous campaign. His best frlenos
should be glad of the situation, FOR an III
dorsement by Tammany, and the silence OF
Mr.. Jerome during the campaign, "ouio
have told in the end against his reputation
AS ii is his personality will be thrown into
the scale against Tammany, where II De-
longs, and he will stand forth for support
strictly on his record
But Mr. Jerome is likely to incur more
than the hostility of the Tiger The insur-
ance scandals have caused men~of means
and power to tremble. and they do not
relish the idea of having such an official on
deck when reckoning time comes. Their
best friend is the Tiger, and SO the Tigers
case Is theirs.
