the State that many -of the committeemen are hostile to the Hazel-Brendel-Greiner combination an that a strong effort will be made to down them. That the opposition has gained considerable strength is evidenced by the actions of the Hazelian who have pome fears as to the outcome of the race for the State Cornmitteemensblp plums.

XF THE CLANS. FOR uDt. Emerson Favors the Military Training of Boys in Our Schools, THE UNPISCIPLIN.ED CONDITION pf the recruits recently added to the National Guard organizations' has awakened the eyes of military men 'and others in this country to the necessity of establishing in the public schools a regular system of military training.

Of the young men in this country who grow up tq manhood It la astonishing what a small percentage of them has received any, military training whatever. Of course with, a war like that now pendlngj, this' deficiency is not perl-ous as It is believed that Spain an be conquered without any unusual demand for soldiers. In case, however, any of the first class powers of Europe should become Inveigled with the United States the weakness of this country in thia respect would be serious. Trained! Soldiery Europe. Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the minor powers of Europe all maintain standing armies of enormous size.

Hardly a boy rows to -manhood In Germany put serves a term of years in tha German army. The same is practically true of all the continental nations. Everj' citizen ta a trained sol-flier What splendid display of power the United States cpuld make were this true of this (country! But while ia contrary to the traditions and policy of this country to maintain a large -standing army, it is vital to our success in war to so train the boys of America that they may bring not only courage arid Intelligence Into battle, but also that strict discipline and military knowledge without which an army is a farce. What iHHtary Tralnlnar Does. Military training not only fits a young man for' war, but it is good physical exercise.

It develops the muscles, straightens the bpdy and adds grace and suppleness to the figure. It aleo teaches discipline, obedience and But above all it Inspires a spirit of practical patriotism and constantly reminds the youth of his. duty to his country whenever duty calls, These and, many other reasons. may be said in its favor and today public sentiment was never stronger in favor of making military training compulsory in the schools of the city and the Stats, Supt. Emerson's Views.

Superintendent of Education Henry P. Emerson was asked his opinion of such a proposition. THINK IT IS A VERY, GOOD replied Mr. Emerson, "and has many good feature Boys learn how to take care of themselves and it has a effect generally. "This plan like many others, however, good they may be, is blocked by the lack of funds to carry it out.

It is necessary to uniform the boys and the first question to arise is where is the money to come from? "You know we did try this plan In a small way last year tn many of the schools. We formed the boys into companies so as to parade during the G. A. R. Encampment.

It was only a par tial success, however. In some schools the didn't take much interest in it. In other schools the pupils were lukewarm, but the most trouble was experienced In getting officers to drill the boys. We were promised officers from the fort, but they didn't keep their engagements regularly. The boys would form for drill and wait for their drill masters.

When they failed, to appear the lads became discouraged and and when a Post reporter visited him in jhis small shop at the rear of his home yesterday he was nara at work on a machine similar to the one he left in Buffalo, except that it is of wood. Mr. Rogers expects some people from Corry, tomorrow and he is working with all possible speed to have his machine completed by then. He extends an invitation to all those who would care to see his invention, and they may call any time after He says he will be only too glad to explain to them "the mysteries of perpetual motion."

V. It Is from the pen of Elisha P. State Supt. Skinner Clings to Traditions and Is Opposed to the Plan. gave it up.

Of course this plan was not compulsory, which accounts for the elements of failure. 1 Objections the Plan. "Eliminating objections -to- the. expense problem which affects the feasibility and the merit of the system the chief objection comes from those who urge that we are taking, on to the schools too many i "Another practical objection comes in the shape of places to drll. In the summer time he boys could flril out doors, but that is impossible in winter and at present there areno halls suitable for the purpose.

-i "It is a controverted question. The experiment has been tried in some States and I believe it is now an essentia) feature of education in the high schools of Massachusetts so far as I know, it has worked well." The following despatch to THE TIMES from Albany gives the views of State Superintendent Skinner on $he question: Traditions Hamper Supt. Skinner. Hon. Charles R.

State Superintendent of Publio Instruction, holds some very decided ideas as to and practicability of military training in the "schools of the State, for some time it has been the custom of the department to frown down all attempts to make military training in the schools- compulsory and Mr. Skinner holds true to the traditions of the office in this respect. When questioned about the; matter by the Albany correspondent of THE TIMES Mr. Skinner said: "For many years past attempts have been made to. es tablish a regular system of military training in our schools, but it has always been overwhelmingly defeated, The reasons for this are strong and numerous.

In the first place, the hours for such training or drilling would eut materially into the hours for instruction in the various institutions. I have always held that any military training carried on in any of the schools should be after the regular hours and voluntary with the pupils although I do not object to callsthen ics or other exercises which may be classed in the same line or aa as lean ing towards military training. Qnesttem of B.rlnc "Another reason why no attempt should be made to force military train ing In the public schools is that the purchase of uniforms and equipments which would be necessary would either have to fall upon the State or upon the families of the pupils. In the first instance it would be highly unjust to force the State to pay for these uni forms and in the second place it would be nothing more nor less than a crime to compel the families of many of the students to make these purchases. In the latter event many of the pupils would undoubtedly be kept away from sohool through this additional expense which would fall seriously on many families.

-vS, Action of the legislature. "The last Legislature," when it passed the Coggeshall bill, now Chapter 431 of the laws, to provide for the display of the United States flag pn the school houses of the State in co-operation with the public schools and to encour age patriotic exercises in such schools specifically provided in Section 4. 'that nothing herein contained shall be con strued to authorize military drill in schools during school hours. "That law." continued i Mr. Skinner.

"emphatically states the position of this Department and that I hold in the matter. I believe that military drills of the pupils, after school hours and entirely voluntary on their part, is to be encouraged, but it Is by no means to be desired when such exercises should be forced on the pupils or take place during' school hpurs.

A SCHEME IS ON FOOT in the ranks of the Republican organization to oust John, Hazel, the erstwhile leader and premier, only-holy politician of that party. The trap is not ready to be sprung as yet, but is being well halted for future use.

Hazel is marked by a-certain portion of the organizar tion and the fight will be la progress jn a few days.

Far from being daunted by the numerous rumors that have reached his ears, the senior member of the Hazel-Bren- del-Grelner combination is doing a little training himself, and it Js evident that the fight is to cause a ruction in the Republican camp.

M. any A. W. i Every succeeding Fourth of July is a sort of birthday for my venerable and esteemed friend, STEPHEN OSBORNE BARNUM. The name of Barnum pas been a' household word Buffalo since 1845 and not on account of my late la mented entertainer, Phineas Taylor Barnum.

Since 1845 at least 36.224.978 children have; been supplied toy and nrecracKers rrom rsarnum greaj toy shop. Although Mr. Barnum was born on January 16th, I believe ha observes the Fourth of July Jointly as nis own and the Nation's birthday- Weil, he's caused a lot of good, solid fun in the world (although he's a very quiet mannered gentleman) and the boys of Buffalo--tbe bid ones-as well as the rising generation love S. O. Barnum, Jle'a fheir owtn dear old Santa Claus.

Far s. man of 82 vears Mr. Barnum is decidedly lively and enterprising. When a young man hewas a most entnusi-astio volunteer fireman and he has many good stories to tell of the old-time rivalry between the fire-fighters. A book agent asked me to buy a book the other He's living and he's a happier and wiser man.

The book was JOHN. SPEARS' volume of stories of the American) Navy. -I felt like quizzing huckster so J. asked; Spears?" 1 "Dunno, guess he's some naval pm- eer." answered tne agent. "Do you reside in Buffalo?" "Yes, born here." "Ever heard of Silver Creek?" 1 r.

v.v- y-y "And never heard of John R. Spears "No." Of course there are others here now, who never saw or heard of J. R. S. He came from Silver Creek to work foF the Express as a reporter.

He had his nerve as well as his natural talent with him. Tall, lanky and awkward but as bright as a new coin, he soon made a record as a clever writer. On one occasion, it is he "borrowed" 4 very important decision handed down: by Judge Smith. He got a great "scoop" 'on the court as well as the other newspapers and was nearly Jugged for contempt of court, r-etc. Spears soon outgrew Buffalo and went to JSTew York.

He has be-n for years one of the Sun's brightest stars. He has trotted all oyer and around the globe and has out out a comfortable place for himself in the liteitUure of the day. Other bright! writers have come from Silver Creek, but John R. Spears Is the top notcher. So McKinley nas overlooked Gen.

Peter C. Doyle and Col. S. M. Welch, Dotn experienced military com manders, in his distribution of briga dier-generalships and has selected reaaie-- urant ior a position of honor, Gov, Blacte recognized Grant's hereditary rights by naming him for a col onelcy in the National Guard and ''young Grant's (he's more than seven now) distinguished service at Camp Black has been promptly recognized by McKinley's nomination of Grant to command a brigade.

It's all right for Grant, of course, but McKinley has shewn a very yellow streak by his weak surrender to the flabbergasted politicians who are- in this Yanko-Spanko-Ranko war for ''what there is in These vultures of war are deadlier enemies, more dangerous foes than the most bitter Spaniard on earth. I wish I could burn every syllable of Henry Watterson's -grand, patriotic speech to the Kentucky soldiers at Camp Bradley on McKinley's heart. Then the war, I believe, would be serious business, not politics for "what there is Jn it," I was "disappointed because my friend. GUSTAV FLEISCHMANN, wasn't appointed a Park Commissioner, but we can't all be P. Cs.

and I know G. isn't disappointed, beoause he has often told "me he had no hankering for politics and park business is politics more or less. Now, I want to cite Mr. Fleischmann to the youth of this community as an example of a self-made man In 1866 he landed here from Austria, -only 16 years old, and earned a livelihood as a marble cutter, studying his books every night at Cooper Institute.

It's all very well and patriotic, and a good advertisement, too, for my young and peppery friend, ROWLAND BLENt NERHASSETT MAHANY to recruit a regiment of volunteers.

He offered his services simultaneously to the PreBi dent and Governor. It would have been embarrassing for the ardent patriot if both had sent acceptances; but B.

Well, I'm glad he didn't pass in his chips, for he's a genial man (away from the gas house) and the Aldermen would miss him. It's a coincidence but I bear that the "books" are convalescing rapidly. Is 'Rastus preparing to emigrate to Cleveland? He has recently issued a llttls volume entitled "0-jrapralive Statistics." The book shows the cost of maintenance in the cities of Detroit, Milwaukee and Cleveland. He dates It "April 1, 1898," and it's an April fool joke on Buffalo, all right and all wrong.

This bright Comptroller of ours publishes to the world that Cleveland's population is 380,000 and Buffalo's 000! If it is not too late, I hope Mayor Diehl will confiscate and destroy this sort of ostly advertising matter. If, Buffalo hasn't got 25.000 more population than Cleveland, I'll give Mr. Knight a pass to the Forest City, i That's -a nice trick Gen. Gobin the Pennsylvania.

Gobin 1 mander-ln-Chlef of the G.A. and the last week named him for Jjleutenapt-Governor. Of course Gobin will do one of the two things He'll either decline the nomination or resign as Commander-in-Chier. He's in a oaa way, now. If he refuses to resign, he'll drag the G.

A. R. Into politics and disgrace himself, and the order in the Keystone State. If he resigns his high office as the leader of 300,000 old heroes, he'll be excoriated for valuing a political office of minor importance to one of the most honorable and coveted dig nitles in America. If Gobin doesn't decline the political lackey's position tendered by Quay and tries to hold on to the G.

A. R. leadership, he should be fired out of the ordr. It's rather late in the day to attempt such a wholesale delivery of the G. A.

R. to the "Pa." politicians of Matt Quay's stripe. What will Gobin do? VISIONS GF WEALTH I BJT S. ROGERS SYRACUSE COUIJPN'T SEW ANY GOIJB BRICKS IK. BISOSTTOWJf.

Rogers, "to get me to loan him the machine or some of its parts. -as he was anxious to more thoroughly convince the $100,000 man of the possibilites of the machine. But I did not let any person take the machine away from my sight, as I was very Mr. Rogers also says that In his absence from the house suspicious persons asked the landlady if they could step inside and see the wonderful machine.
