SoRIBNER's for March is out,
and full OF good things as it
always is. Under the manage.
ment of DR.. Holland (Timothy
Titcomb), Scribner's has be
come our favorite of all Amer
lean magazines. On the first
page this week We publish an
able, thoughtful article on
"The Decisions of Drink" from
The pen OF the editor, which is
worthy of being read and re-
read by all, whether the mod
crate dTinker, or the person la
boring under the ''delusion"
that he is a moderate drinker.
The article is entitled to more
consideration from the fact
that DR. Holland has always
been a Jealous, practical work
er in the cause Of temperance,
and one of the main advocates
of the theory OF displacing in
temperance by the use Of
wine, until he made a trip to
the vine countries of Europe,
and by observation was con
WINGED, against his will, that
his theory was false. Such
were the impressions left upon
bis mind by his observations,
that he boldly acknowledged
that he had been advocating
an error; and that Of the whis-
ky drunkenness of America
and the wine drunkenness Of
Europe, the latter did infinite
ly the most harm. We give
DR.. Hollands article entire be-
cause it contains truths which
are acknowledged by all, until
the "delusion" is personally
applied, on the one hand; while
on the other hand 1t is opposed
TO the commonly accepted the
DRY on moderate indulgence.

FROM the Marietta Register.I
The Marietta Register in
commenting upon an Article in
the Record expressing the wish
that each county in the State
we're blessed with a Home for
Des,itute Children, like that of
Washington county, expresses
the BELIEF that counties of the
class of Einton have not
enough wealth to sfford such an
institution. The Regisl er un-
derestlmates our wealth. We
spend enough foolisitly, for
whisky,every year of the word,
to build a marble palace Tor the
unfortunate children OF the
county. Ii is not lack of wealth
that holds US back Tnton
Record.
mo doubt you do Bro. Raper,
but you misunderstood US still.
We did not intend to say you
are too poor-not that-but
that for the number you need to
accommodate, it will be better
policy to send them TO our
Home, than to build one of
your own or to allow the chill
dren to remain in The lnfirm-
ary!n 5,m' shi
The Register Isl no doubt
right in its conclusion, and we
commend the matter to the
proper authorities, TOR their au-
thorities tor their investigation.
Unfortunate children who are
brought under the influences OF
such o Home as that OF Mariet
ia should make good and use
full men and women while we
doubt If the cost is greater than
selling them out as paupers to
be brought up in Ignorance and
vice.

Good Move.

Hon. Milt Mccoy, Represen-
tatlve from Ross county, on
petition Of his constituents, has
introduced a bill 10 authorize
the State 10 APPOINT a commits
sion TO compile a set Of school
books for use in The schools Of
the State, the State to own the
copyright, and leave the print
ing open to all the publishers
OF the State. 1t is believed
this will open the matter OF
furnishing school books TO a
competition which will enable
the people to get them at a
fair price. We have frequently
called attention to The burdens
forced upon the people by the
school book monopoly. Firms
engaged in this business have
their books, which are mere
compilations, copyrighted, and
thus enjoy the exclusive man.
ufacture and Gale of that work,
which, if they are so lucky as
to once get them adopted by
School Boards, they sell at
such a price as drives many
children from the schools and
thus cripples their usefulness.
They do not compete with
each other, but like the express
companies, divide the country
off into districts and agree not
10 interfere with each other in
plundenng In their respective
districts.
As a sample Of the profit these
men make, we sent an accurate de.
scription OF one of the books used
in our public schools to one of
the largest publishing houses of
Cincinnati and asked their price
to print 10000 copies. Their
price was d fraction less than 8
cents each for that number. Now,
it is well known that a greater
number could be printed for a
less average price per copy. Over
100000 copies Of the book re.
ferred to had been printed and
sold for which the purchasers
paid seventy-1fve cents per
copy, or over eight times the or
iginal cost, on an estimate for
10000 copies. When we con-
slider the greater number actually
printed we are safe in saying
that the retail price is at least ten
times the first cost of the book.
This is upon Its very face the
meAnest monopoly in the world,
shuts thousands of children out
of our free schools, is a heavy tax
on all classes of people, and we
hope Mr.. McCoy's bill may pass
and stop the swindle.
1t is proper to add that it is
the publisher of the book that is
doing the stealing, and he is SO
grasping in his demands that
We are satisfied from frequent in
quiry that the retailer does not
get even q fair profit tor hand
ling the books. The publisher
asks SO much for them that the
retailer is actually ashamed ta
add a fair percentage for hand
ling them. t'I1aa. ... y

From Zaleski.
To the Eiitor Of the VintoR Record;

~ tHo EtttoF " tue ItHtOH ucCVEus
ZALEsKI, q, Feb. 23.-Uoubt
less word has reached you ere
this writing of the temperance
crusade carried OH by the good
women of our town and viclnh v
against King Bacchus and hI>
votaries. An i%acessant siege
OIL the part of our women has
been brought TO bear upon his
works, which are now yielding
to the appeals made by the
Woman's League, In Gods
name and for the sake of fallen
humanity, Notwithstanding the
hydra.headed monster has been
permitted 10 repose in all his
glory unmolested, to deal out
sorrow, pain, drunkenness, lg
nominous death to our fathers,
sons and brothers, without
shame and restraint regardless
of the consequences to God,
man, or the law, by day and
n~ight-Sunday not excepte d.
Thank God the monster has
been arrested, though he has
stalked through our streets
with giant-llke terror TO the ar
mice of Israel. Yet IN the
midst of his midnight revelry
overtakes him, a
mysterious handwriting az
pears on The wall. Bible, tears,
songs, the olive branch of
peace, the monster smitte n
heaves a sigh, falls a victim,
his head a trophy to be glib
beted higher than that of
Haman TO serve to the public
gaze as a fearful and terrible
retribulion upon all and any
who would ever seek to biins;
in our midst such a fiendish ell
ement. The war IS going on,
the works are being carried, It's
agents captured. Friends OF
lr eedom are rushing to the
front, a line is being dra wn, a
fearful ion, a strug.
gle for position.
Mass meetings are held ev
cry night and there is great en-
thusiasm upon the part of both
men and women all feeling
concerned. Ere this returns
we hope to be able to chroni-
Gle most excellent results.

ICES too much. What we want,
is clean cut facts. What have
the women of Zaleski done?
What did individual liquor
dealers do, and how did they
do it, or did they do anything9
