NO BLACK HAND" HERE.

II HE words BLACK Hand are often used
n these days They appear chiefly in the
papers of New York and other large cities A
STORY" sounds much better, that is, makes bet
ter reading when something appears as having
been done by the BLACK Hand" instead of by in
dividuals. The name of the "Black Hand" is
terror-striker and sensational That there is an
organization of Malta or BLACK Hand" in some
of the larger cities, and that it commits crimes is
beyond dispute. But following the crimes Of this
organization, it has been the custom to attribute
everything of a criminal nature that may ap-
proach its method to the "Black Hand"
In this way, we presume, the sending of let
ter to prominent Italian in this city for the pur-
pose of extorting money from him, was attributed
to the work of a "Black Hand" whereas it was
probably the work of individuals. There is so
far as is known, organization of "Black Hand
in this city The police authorities fortunately
have peculiar facilities for discovering the exist
ence of BLACK Hand" organization, if there is
such here 1t could not exist long and it doubt
less does not exist to-day. 1t is unjust to permit
any impression that our Italians, who are on the
whole law-abiding, sympathize with any BLACK
Hand IDEAS that they have no respect for
law. There are bad Italians just as there are bad
men in other nationalites.

CANNON IS "IT."

He eyes OF the country are now upon one
man-and he is to be found at II o'clock

His dictum that the Senate and the House must
stay IN session until the currency problem can be
solved, is now accepted as gospel and for the 6rst
time IN years, the Senate leaders, Aldrich and
Hale, have been making daily pilgrimages from

A FORECAST OF DENVER.

DHE political forecast Of the New York Her
i aid assures that William Jennings Bryan
has enough instructed delegates to give him a
majority at the Denver convention. The machin-
erv of the convention will be, if the forecast IS
true in the hands of the friends of Mr.. Bryan.
They will control the committees and mould the
platform of Ne party.
The Johnson boom has made some progress,
but the friends of the governor contend that it
was started too late to be very effective. In view
of some developments it is doubtful whether the
Johnson boom would really have done better had
it started earlier.
For instance, in Kansas the delegates had been
Instructed for Bryan before the Johnson boom
was started The Johnson men asserted that,
with fair trial il would be demonstrated that
Johnson. and not Bryan, was the choice of the
Democrats of the Sunflower State. The Bryan
men took them at their word. A convention was
called to test this claim of the supporters OF John
son. and in the test Bryan was victorious by
vote Of three to one A similar test may be made
in Illinois.
According to the Herald figures, Governor
Johnson has only p delegates instructed for him,
while Judge Gray, of this State has 81 votes. The
delegates for the Judge include those from Della
ware, seventeen in Pennsylvania, and eight in
Florida We may remark in passing that the
Hon. d. T. Marvil seems to have done effective
work in Florida.
From the forecast of the Herald it appears
probable that Judge Gray will lead Governor
Johnson in the number OF delegates to the con-
vention
All this goes to prove that the Delaware men
who have been booming the Judge against his
wishes, will have some reward for their labors
even should Judge Gray fail of the nomination. A
creditable showing for Delaware is assured

EDUCATION BOARD
TO MEET COUNCIL

Members of the Board Of Education
will appear before the finance commit
tee of City Council tomorrow evening
to advance the cause Of education by
again bringing to the attention of the
councilmen the financial needs of the
Board of Education. This action was
taken after a committee of school
teachers, headed by Miss Ellen Weldin,
principal Of No. 10 school, had been
heard at the board meeting last night.
Miss Weldin plainly set forth the
need of money for educational pur-
poses and to pay the teachers adequate
salaries, compared with other cities
She charged City Council with indiffer-
ence concerning the educational needs
of the city.
Mr.. Baynard said that the finance
committee of the board had done all
in its power to get more money from
the city. and he also believed that
Council has done what it could. He
said every department in the city was
asking for more money and il VIZ
only due TO lack Of revenue that ths
demands were not met
