Pense Book Store---A ViIIafmOus
Monopoly Created by the school
From the Tallahatchie News.

From the Tallahatch1e News.
Mississippians have been watching the
Legislature too long TO be surprised at any
fresh outrage that il may seem inclined 70
commit. The Contingent Fund, Revenue.
Rail Road, and Printing Bills. are only
leading examples of legislation which seem
TO have for its sole object the plundering Of
the people. The same spirit has infected
nearly every measure that has been intro
duced. No one. therefore. Is surprised that
in the School Bill now before the House
the clause which Is eliciting most debate Is
one to establish State Book Store, over
which Superintendent Pease is to exercise
control. A cooler robbery was never plan
ned. Not content with taking away from
the people Of the different counties the
cheice Of superintendent for their schools
and best0wing upon Pease powers BY which
he can turn annually into his pocket from
fifty to y hundred thousand dollars, it Is
now proposed to give him book store.
We must not only all use the same text
books. but they must all come from the
s-State Book Store and the money that We
pay for them--amounting 70 how much,
Heaven only knows-must go into Mr..
Pease's coffersl We challenges the records
Of even the worst earpet-bag Legislature
