PUBLIC TON
CONDITIONS UNSETTLED IN THE
SCHOOLS SINCE JULY.

The chief interest In educational affairs
in the District during the past year has
conferred in the public school system. Az
ter the passage of a new school law by
Congress in the winter the time of the
school board was taken UP with investiga-
lions in regard to A. 1. Gardner principal
of the Mckinley Manual Training School
and a teacher and several pupils Of the
same school. Although the board did not
request Mr.. Gardeners resignation officially
the principal resigned before the close OF
the school year.
A new regime began July 1, when the
new school board took the reins under the
new law. most complicated situation in
public school affairs arose almost imme-
diately. and the school board spent its time
ever since trying to straighten out the
tangle July Superintendent Stuart Of
fered his resignation and August II the
new school board filled the position by the
appointment of DIR. William e. Chancellor
of Paterson. N. j.. Mr.. Stuart being made
director of intermediate instruction.
Since he took charge of the schools DIR.
Chancellor's official actions have caused
widespread criticism. The new school au-
thorities dismissed several employees of the
system. Ca took action which amounted to
the same thing. and this aroused unfavor-
able comment, ii being stated that trials
were not held. required by the new law.
+. l.. Cardozo. eolored, supervising princf-
pal of the thirteenth division. went into
court and secured a mandamus requiring
that the board reinstate him In Office On
The ground that he had not been given a
trial. The action of the court in the case
was IayoI able to Cardozo. but the finding
was reviewed and adversely criticised by
surerintt ndent Chancellor.
AS result of the unsettled state of at
fairs Representative Greene of Massachu-
setts introduced a bill in the House OF
RenreseBta tiyeS shortly after the opening
of the session this winter. providing for a
reinstatement of all those employees of the
school system who had been dropped from
the rolls by the new board Several mem
uers of the House and the Senate expressed
their views on the situation and criticised
the action Of the new board and the su-
perintendent.

Hunting Southern Delegates.

If we may believe reports the republican
leaders are beating the bushes in the south
for delegates to the next national conyen-
ton. II is sought to make potent in the
nomination of presidential ticket men Who
are absolutely impotent on election day
Not in ten years has the thing been done.
and there were excellent reasons why it
should never have been done again.
The political situation in the south is a
Teproach to both parties, and a menace to
good government for the country. 1t is in
fiat and fragrant violation of the Constitu-
ton. Two amendments to that instrument
stand nullifed by the democratic party, and
in that action the republican party &C
quiesces. To be sure. the republican ma
tional platforms invariably contain denun-
citation of the democratic action and
promise to apply the constitutional remedy
10 the evil. but the promise is never re-
deemed. With both houses of Congress and
the presidency In their control. the repub.i-
cans have had the power since 1897 to give
the country constitutional representation IN
both the House and the electoral college
but have disregarded both their sworn duty
and their campaign obligations.
The result is decentralization IL. the south

for the stuff" The democrats bargain for
patronage. They will support anybody for

A Tammany Trick Well Turned.

The cash box of the Tammany Society
of New York was running low There
were many demands upon it from faithful
ones, and the revenues were slack. Some
thing had to be done to replenish the
store. The annual election of sachems was
about to occur, and one of the wise ones
of Tammany devised scheme that would
do credit to a railroad financier or a dra-
matte press agent. Inasmuch as no men,
Der can vote at Tammany election I'M
less he has paid his annual dues. these
yearly ballotings are apt to be perfunctory

however, suffices to bring out the braves
in large numbers, for there is nothing a
Tammany man loves so dearly as a strug-
gle at the ballot bo;. at the hall. 1t keeps
him in training for the practical work at
the real polls when mayors and sheriffs
and district attorneys and judges are to
be elected. So this long-headed fellow who
devised the great scheme craftiiy started

Mr.. Bryan and the Railroads.

The authorized exposition" of Mr.
Bryan's views about government owner
ship OF railroads and ratemaking while in
tended to soften the effect of the Madison
Square Garden speech yet leaves them full
of ominous suggestion. Mr.. Bryan has not
changed. He stands now where he stood
when he landed last year in New York
He is, Of course a little wiser as to public
sentiment on the railroad proposition and
has checked off the prominent democrats
who threaten battle on the subject. But
he believes now, as he did then. that gov
eminent ownership and operation is he
only adequate solution of the railroad prob
lem. and he expects to see that policy in
the cnd-"ultimatey
Government ratemakng to be sure
should have fair trial The law is on the
books. and at present the people behind
it. Let it be executed fully and fairly and
every means adopted to develop what there
may be in il. But Mr.. Bryan does not doubt
the result. In his opinion the law in the
end will fail. and the people be obliged to
take over railroad properties and operate
them themselves if they would be well and
economically served in the matter of trans
Tortation. OF that Mr.. Br. is certain.
Now let Us suppose Mr. Bryan holding
this opinion. in the White House. What
force would the opinion gather from his
presence there and from the power he
would exercise? His cabinet would be men
of his own choice. and of course of his own
way of thinking. All vacancies on the fed
eral benz occurring during the four, and
probably eight, years of his official tenure
would be filed with men In agreement with
him. All district attorneys would be Sc
lected by him. Would not, therefore. Mr..
Bryans view about the government regua-
ton law be widely disse minated in official
quarters having to do with the law? And
would not the chiefs opinion soon be
widely accepted? And so with difficulties
springing up as they would spring up.
about the execution of the law. and all OF
them accepted as confirming the Bryan
view of the laws inadequacy. what would
stand in the way of campaign. supported
by the national administration, for govern
meut ownership?
1t is trite. but very true, that the power
OF a President of the United States is far
reaching and compelling. Mr.. Cleveland
gave an illustration of the fact. and Mr..
Roosevelt is going him several better
What Mr.. Bryan would do with that power
toward forcing his policies on. the country
is easily predicted from the character of
sand or resources, and as President he
would undoubtedly sit at the head of the
table.

Crop Killing.

The crop killers at work again.
They are blighting the fruit blossoms and
running the cereals. They are telling of the
terrible Tavages of the frost in the wheat
belt and the devastating advance CT the
green bug that kills the new grain sprouts.
They predicting losses to the farmers
mounting into the tens of millions and
forecasting bad year for everybody The
crop killers indeed, are having very
fine time
But somehow or other the country is not
panic-strlcken as d result of the activity of
these prophets of gloom. 1t has heard
them before and it has had it's fill of shiv-
erins with apprehension. 1t knows that
even if they well informed and sincere
in their prophecies il can do nothing to
ward off evil. 1t can not by taking thought
add one bushel of grain fruit to the
crop despite the onslaughts of the green
bug or the cold. 1t has already done every
thing possible TO insure a crop, and it can
only wait and pray for bountiful results.
OF course the game of the crop killers
is We. understood They are, almost with
ULt exception. professionals who are trying
