Elections.

The annual elections were held in sew
eral States ON Tuesday with generally
light vote and mixed results, old party
lines being discarded to an unusual ex-
tent, even for an off year." The re-
publicsns generally got the worst of it,
as must necessarily be the case with q
majority party. 1t is good time for the
people to settle their local affairs and
side issues in the freedom from presi-
Dental campaign and they are improv-
ing it.
New York, Maryland, Virginia are
by an independent opposition in which
most of the democrats very naturally
Joined, while Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Arkansas, and even New Jersey are re-
publican. Last year Boston gave Grant
over 5000 majority. On Tuesday it gave
100 majority for CASTOR, the democratic
candidate for governor, while at the same
time one of lis congressional districts
elected a republican and without even an
opposition ticket. This of course was
mainly rum and cold water. The vote
of Massachusetts is more than 10000
less than last year. The republican
majority is some 10000 in the State
while last year it was over 10000. The
VIGOROUSLY radical city of Worcester
even gives over 1900 democratic MAORI
ty for governor, influenced in the same
way as Boston. The same is true of
most of the cities in the State.

ii. B. CLAFFLrN & Co.-The creditors
of Horace Is. Clafiin q Co., met, Mon
day, and found the assets of the firm to
be S22,50S,000 and their liabilities s15.-
$4,000. This favorable showing induced
the creditors to give the firm four and a
half months more time, after which
payment should be made monthly. This
enables the firm to go on with it's bust
ness. The determination of the mercan-
tile community to support Mr.. Clafflin
may be due partially to their grateful
remembrance of the honorable course of
his house in 1857. At that time Clafiin.
Mellen d Co., were obliged to suspend,
but finally agreed to give their notes for
70 per cent running from thence to six
months, and after that to pay the remain
ing 30 per cent, if possible. The firm
not only paid the 20 per cent, with in
terest, and afterward the 80 per cent,
with interest, but Mr.. Clafflin hunted M
the original holders of the paper and re-
imbursed them for any sacrifice to which
they might have been subjected by its
sale. He is said to have paid s24O, 900
in this way, more than was required in
law and honor.

A contest has sprung up in this State,
between the school books, or more espec-
tally between the publishers of Green
leafs and French's Arithmetics. We do
not feel competent to judge of the pre-
else merits of these arthmetics, but with
good teachers we have no doubt the stu
dent would make good progress in either
of them.
The question therefore seems to be
mainly one between publishers. The
Board of Education have decided in ia
vor of French's arithmetics and wher-
ever change is made, those ought to be
used. If the men composing that Board,
which includes some Of the best and rip
est scholars of our State, are not compe-
tent to judge, then we have no men in
the State who are. As matter between
publishers we have nothing to do, nor
should our schools and prudential COM
mittees be burdened with it. The fire.
quent changes Of school books in our
State has been source of complaint
with which we fully sympathize, and
wherever other than French's arithme-
tics are now in use we see no occasion
for change and would not recommend
any. 1t is desirable, and we understand
it to be the policy of the State and the
Board OF Education, to avoid frequent
change and to make our school books
uniform as far as possible, and the best
way to secure uniformity is to abide the
recommendation of the Board, other
wise the State may be flooded with a
variety of books by publishers whose
opportunities will be anything but agree
able and advantageous to our schools.
1t is unfortunate that the Secretary of
the Board of Education happens to be
the author of the arithmetics favored by
the Board, but this is no reason why our
schools should be subjected either to
change. where they may be doing well
with other books, at the present time, or
to the annoyance of publishers who are
selling their books for gain, as in other
trades, and in which our people and
schools can have no direct interest, es-
pecially since this book feeling probably
has most of its foundation in hostility to
the appointment of Secretary French.
