The Advisory Council Expires.

There will be few regrets in the local
public school world for the defunct ad-
visory council of teachers. which was de-
Gently Inferred at yesterdays meeting of
the board of education. 1t was conceived
In error and it struggled for existence
against adverse circumstances. 1t was
founded upon an essentially wrong principle,
though masauerading in the name of
representative organization Of all the
teachers 1t served to throw around the
SUPERINTENDENT OF schools wall of self
selected individuals through whom the
teaching body must work in order to reach
the supreme educational center. Even If
the educational head OF the schools We're
thoroughly familiar with the local school
situation with the teachers and with the
traditions, the laws and the public senti-
ment, this form of supplementary admins
trative circle, without real power and re-
sponsibility, would be mistake, creative of
friction and productive of trouble. Organ

International Obligations.

Those who are apparently bent upon
manufacturing cause of war out of the
recent unfortunate happenings in San
Francisco, in the course of which a Jap
anese restaurant and bath house were
wrecked by a mob, should read the record
Of the Italian inbroglio OF 1S9l-92. That af-
fair, II will be remembered. grew out of
the assassination OF the chief OF police of
New Orleans. Certain Italians were sus-
pected of the crime and were tried The
acquittal OF some OF them resulted and as
10 others the jury failed to agree. Popular
feeling was greatly aroused against the &C
cused men. and mob finally raided the
Jail and lynched the Italians. Immediately
the government at Rome entered a sharp
protest with this government. and com
Iliclted controversy arose which for time
seemed to some superheated imaginations
l" lead directly to war between Italy and
the United States.
Italy looked to the government at Wash
1nston Tor redress of grievances. 1t could
mot recognize state government. Yet the
irdvral administration could not coerce the
state OF louisiana Gov. Nichols of that
commonwealth, however, co-operated with

Orchards Tale of Crime.

The trial at Boise opens In a manner to
promise the country a series OF shocks
greater than it has probably ever expert
cnccd before in the course of criminal
Jurisprudence. Harry Orchards story Of
crime is Of course yet unsuhstantiated.
There is always a iustihable indisposition
to accept at Its full face value the con-
fcssiOuS of "a man who turns states evil
dcnCc: but viewed as a bare recital, there
was doubtless never before so amazing
narrative of fiendshness as that which
yesterday fell from this mans lips.
If half of what Orchard tells is true. he
was the tool of a murderous band of men
who hesitated at nothing to remove their
opponents. Assuming that he is not pre-
varicating out OF whole cloth. and bearing
In mind that the crimes of which he has
already told unquestionably We're committed
by somebody. for several years the mining
regions of the west were under the sway
OF an organization of murderers as bad as
any camorra or malta or nihilishc circle of
the old country.
1t is really difficult for the people of the
east to conceive the situation suggested by
Orchards preliminary testimony. Here, of
course. there are no such wide spaces OF
uninha bited territory. Here the political
organization of the communities is more
compact and the corruption that exists,
while in places fragrant. Is financial and
not homicidal There have been labor
union outrages. to be sure in some places.
but they have been on a small scale and
aimed at individuals and not at masses of
men.
In this trial there remains. of course. the
chief work of the prosecution. that of sub
Stimulating the accusation leyeled at Hay
wood by Orchard. If that can be done. and
the proof remains mistaken by the defense.
the conclusions cannot be avoided that the
defendant at Boise was the principal in not
only the assassination of former Gov.
Steunenberg. but In the killing of many
other men, some of them mine bosses, some
nou-unlon workers and some wholly limo
cent of participation in the labor troubles
OF the region.
Harry Orchard stands forth today. in the
terms of his first statement extraor-
binary specimen OF humanity. II he did the
murderous work of which he tells. he has
been engaged in work that savors OF the
medieval period when the hired assassin
was a necessary Item in the retinue of every
potentate great or small. 1t Is a shameful
commentary on our civilization that such
methods could have been practiced in this
day and generation for several years with
out detection and prevention and punish
ment
II this story is true the day Of reckoning
Is assuredly at hand.

The Public Stable Site.

There seems to be considerable surprise
ON the part of the residents of the section
south of the new reservoir and filtration
plant that site for a large District gov
eminent stable has been chosen immedi-
ately below the reservoir itself. move
ment is already on foot to protest against
this choice, although the Commissioners
have announced that they have waited a
sufficient time for protests and, hearing
none, have decided TO proceed.
The fact that Immediately upon this
official announcement the residents of the
affected section have risen in their indig-
nation and entered their protests would
indicate that there had not been sufficient
publicity of the Commissioners intention
10 place the District stable at the point
In question. This fact alone should cause
an immediate reopening of the case and
should insure the full consideration of the
petitions and protests which are in circu
ldtiUn for signature. The District govern
Ment should not spring surprises upon the
residents
Apart from the question of the surprise
In this case. the suggestion TO put a munich
pal stable directly across from the new
water plant and park is not calculated to
arouse public enthusiasm. The reservoir
and filtration bed reservation has been
formally styled Mcmillan Park in honor
OF the late senator from Michigan, to whom
is today due the highest credit for the
work Of developing the capital 1t was
he who secured the legislation that gave
the city its filtration equipment and it
was entirely appropriate that his name
should be given to the result of his en-
beavers
1t was unquestionably Senator McMflan's
thought and desire that the water plant
reservation should be place of beauty
and the center OF an attractive residential
section. Many househoders have secured
their home sites in that vicinity largely be-
cause of their faith in this policy. They
are confronted now with the suggestion
that great stable is 10 be thrust into the
midst of their community, without warn
ing. Their Indignation is natural in view
OF all the circumstances

of setting forth clear frank statement of
the full case. for the edificatiOn Of Italy,
but the latter power declined to accept the
representation of a divided Jurisdiction
The Italian minister temporarily withdrew
from Washington as a means of declaring
the dissatisfaction of his sovereign at the
failure Of the United States to guarantee
the punishment Of the lynchers.
Eventually the italian temper cooled and
the matter went along for a time without
friction. President Harrison laid the mat
ter before Congress in December. 1891. in
calm terms, recommending that Congress
should declare offenses against the treaty
rights Of foreigners dOmcied in the United
States cognizable in the federal courts.
Through negotiations an agreement was
finally reached whereby the United States
should. purely a gratuity. pay to the
families of the deceased Italians still sub
ject to the sovereignty Of King Humbert
the sum of 12o.0OO francs. or a little less
than $4,000 This payment was regarded
an act Of international equity and not
as the discharge Of formal obligation. In
his next annual message. December, 1882,
President Harrison mentioned it as
friendly act" expressive of the repre- A.
ton and adherence of the lynching" felt
W thc IhHtSu SldttS' anu S'dtSu 'hAN -
had been accepted by the King of Italy
with every manifestation Of gracious APP
probation. Thus the incident was closed.
In all subsequent proceedings growing
out of similar affairs the United States has
carefully avoided an acknowledgment of
the Italian indemnity as establishing
formal precedent, although 1t has paid for
the death of Cinnamon in Colorado in much
the same circumstances. 1t has always
scrupulously endeavored to safeguard the
treaty rights of foreign subjects, and in
the late Japanese school affair it took high
ground on this point There is, however,
nothing in the recent disturbances in San
Francisco to warrant the belief that the
Japanese government will seek to apply
pressure to the administration in this city
or that this government will have any diff
Guilty in effecting an amicable adjustment.
Nevertheless the war-scare agtators in
both countries will probably continue their
malevolent activities. AS long as treaties
stand and respected and the federal
government remains strong and determined
that foreign rights are guaranteed. there
will be no cause for even serious friction
with Japan or any other country. There
must be bad faith to precipitate a war in
these days. and thus far there has been no
bad faith between Japan and the United
States.

Next Years Democratic Delegates.

If there is any serious purpose or hope
OF democratic union next year we should
be able to read 1t in the character of the
men selected as delegates to the national
convention.
In 1896 many of the strongest men in the
party did not attend the convention The
Cleveland people had no stomach for the
fight. Things were at skies and sevens in
administration circles, with the President
the most unpopular man in the party Mr..
Watterson In Europe. David B. Hill
alone. of all the vigorous men of the sound
money contingent, appeared on the scene
and grappted with the silverites. He earned
the cowboys epitaph He done his
d-dest'' But as he had no support he
was easily overborne.
At Kansas City, in 1900 a similar state
Of case was presented. Again. of all the
stronger men of the party's sound money
contingent. Mr.. Hill was the only one to
appear and ask for platform which would
enable eastern democrats to take an inter-
est in the campaign. Again he failed.
Aside from his efforts, New York was
poorly served in the convention that her
vote, at Richard Cookers instance, was
cast in the balloting for Vice President for
Tammanyite, who. until then, had never
been heard of outside the metropolis and
some idle social gossip for a daily news
paper
AT ST. Louis, in 1904, there was a small
rally of the bigger men, with Mr. Hill at
their head, but they We're not strong enough
to secure more than negative result in the
matter of the platform. Mr.. Bryan fought
them to standstill on that, and was the
hero of the convention.
What are the signs for next year? Mr..
Cleveland lives in New Jersey. Would a
proposition to send him to the national con-
vention at the head of the Jersey delega-
ton be entertained? He could afford to GO
and his appearance in the convention would
undoubtedly lead to a very sober discussion
of issues. Will New York make Mr.. Hill
its leader and give him colleagues worthy
Of his fighting qualities and the issues for
which he stands? Will Kentucky include
Henry Watterson and William Lindsay in
her list of delegates? And SO on. Are men
who once directed the party and achieved
some success available now as counSelorS
at a time when there is so much talk Of
union. and without union victory is i'm
possible?
We soon shall States are already
under discussion, and the Bryanites. for
their part are picking their best men, and
prepa ring them for MI Bryan's instruc-
tons.

American Winner of the Derby.

From the New York Herald
In 1876 years history of the Derby but
two Americans were winners of the classic
race of the English turf-Mr. Pierre Loril-
lard with Iroquois, and Mr.. William c.
Whitney, with Volodyovski. Yesterday
Mr.. Richard Crokers name was added to
the list when his horse. Orby. won the
one hundred and twenty recur-
renee of the greatest event in the racing
world. Iroquois success was an out-and-
out American triumph. that of a horse
whose breeding and ownership made it
thoroughly so. Mr.. Whitneys Derby
honors were diminished by the fact that
he only the lessee of the brilliant
Volodyvosk Mr. Cookers Derby victor
of yesterday is almost as thoroughly
American as was Mr.. Lorillard's Iroquois
and his owners triumph equally credit
able For though Orby was by English
sire and foaed and trained in Ireland-the
first Derby winner. by the way, ever
trained there-his dam American
bred mare owned by Mr.. Croker. And as
in the racing world it is the dam, not the
sire, that governs the nationality of the
foal, Mr.. Cookers Derby is credited to an
American-bred horse and an American
owner.

failure from the outset.
There should be at all times the freest
possible communication between the educa-
tional head of the schools and the teaching

access of the teacher individually to the

No person can be licensed who does not

character. and all applications must be
registered. Every such license expires on

agencies themselves must keep a complete
record Of all applicants for work. where
they were given employment, at what
wages, what commission fees were paid
etc Any fraud, false information or the
sending Of an applicant to a disorderly
house is visited with severe punishment,
and the police are to inspect all licensed
employment agencies at least six times a
year. Something of this kind has long
been needed. 1t Will be a protection not
only to those girls whom vicious agents
would lure to ruin, but will also be help
