it is underatood, however. that Tammany has no
present Ititontlon of chanKinK the achool idmlnistra

a law lt ls not uniikoiy that leveral membera of
the Brooklyn Koard would aoon he forced out Of

Momhers of the Poard of Educatlon are not Kreat
ly dlaturbed by the late.-t developmeat They look
upon lt as a confession on the par: of the Wlgwam
leaderi thal no power of re.-novinir them eatata
under the charter. and they have yel to be con
vlnced that a bill of this kimi can be lammed

there ls no auestion whatever lhat the Mayor'a

It followa, therefore, that the Tammany pl'in

can poaaibly lay thelr handa on, have come 10 the
con iiaion that they cannot itraln thi charter so aa

But that action was not flnal. and after other
