Equal Pay Bill Vetoed.
Mayor McClellan of New York has
vetoed the bill recently passed by the
state legislature equalizing the salaries
of men and women teachers in the
higher grades of the schools of the
metropolis. He justified his veto on
four grounds: First, violation of the
home rule principle; second, local au
thorities already have the power to do
the same; third, discrimination in fa
vor of a certain class of teachers;
fourth, that it would destroy the elas
ticity of the present school system.
The bill was promptly passed over the
mayor’s veto by the senate and assem
bly, and the matter now goes to Gov
ernor Hughes for final action.
BRYAN’S CHIEF GIFT.
(The New York Sun.)
Mr. Bryan is essentally a talker —
a phonograph full of records of the
universal and common thought—and
not a solver of problems; a facile
promiser of reforms which other men
attempt to carry out in travail. His
administrative capacity must be doubt
ed gravely by those who recognize
his personal charm and want to do
him justice, because he talks too
much to think deeply.
OMINOUS SILENCE.
