Ninety thousand children on part time tn the publfe sihools and no prospect of appreciable relief within the Mext two years! That is the cheerful prospect apread before New Yorkers by President Rogers, of the Board jet ‘Waucation. And that does not mean that the trouble _ ‘will be over after the two years are up. On the oon- ae trary, it will never be over as long-aa-the city continues fo grow, unless we make a radical changedn our present. poltog. ‘That policy ie to keep on chasing the increase of "Population and never catch up with it. We are alwaye Several laps behind, and so there are always some @cores _ @f thousands of children who are defraumed of their © @dtioational rights. Byrom time to time we get excited and begin to talk about makeshifts, like putting up tem- porary school-houses in the parks. ‘There is just one proper course to follow.

A Washington despatch In a Ohicago paper remarked Xe other day that Chicago and Milwaukee were the only sities talked about for the Demooratic National Con- vention. That statement would hardly be repeated now, ‘They have learned in Washington of the existance of a town called New York, the pivot of the Democratic na- tional campaign. When the Democratic National Committee decides upon the meeting place of the convention {t will be con- fronted by the indisputable fact that New York has these advantages over any other city in America: More people. ox More dovbtful votes necessary to Democratic success, More accessibility for delegates and visitors. Better and more reasonable hotel accommodations, A safer and in all ways better meeting hall. Bey! Better news facilities, including an hour's advantage over Chicago in time. iz Better means of entertainment. ‘What is there on the other side except the fmct that Ohicago has had ten conventions and wants an @leventh? f THE PINCH OF HARD TIMES. A few years ago Mr. Charles M. Schwab had a good, gteady job in the Carnegie Steel Works.

Nobody thinks anything of a fire there, and Congress goes on talking tranquilly while the engines are pouring water into blazing document-rooms. f THE OLD STORY. iad gas main on Thirty-third street sprang a leak is it was buried underground nobody could tell just “where the trouble was. The Savoy Theatre was so filled with gas that the performance had to be aban- Monet, to the great inconvenience of ticket-holders and the loes of the management and actors.
