TEXT BooKs.-We are Of opinion that
school matters in this State are pat up
and run by Wilson, Hinkle 81 Co., of
Cincinnati, Ohio. The means that firm
use to carry out its purposes is the Dem
ocratic party. 1t got its publications in
troduced into this State by bribery, and
that it has kept its books in use By the
same means, we think It not unreasona-
bic to assert. 1t was all right when the
! State Board of Education adopted that
| firms books for use in all the schools of
the State, and it was all wrong when the
same Board decided to change them att
er six years use, for another and better
series. Wilson, Hinkle & Co. know what
the schools Of this State want better than
the people and the school officers of the
State do. They run school matters here.
They started in with Democratic State
Superintendent, and then finished up on
a Democratic Legislature. Great is the
firm of Wilson, Hinkle & Co. Their
books will continue in use at least two
years more, during which time they car
make out of the profits enough 20 pay
back all the money they have spent In
working up the case and leave fat mar.

LAW OF THE UMBLELLA.-It was not

decided some years ago by Massachu-
setts Justice. 1t is reserved for a Cali
fornia Justice to advance the um brella to
a high notch in that sonorous title known
as the measure Of damage. This was a
Santa Clara County Justice, recently.
The facts were, that two pedestrians, one
carrying an expanded um breIla, collided
on a sidewalk, and the fcrrue of the UNI
brella punched the others eye so severe
ly that he nearly lost the sight oft. The
man with the umbrella was moving to
the left when the collision occurred. The
injured party brought suit to recover
S299,99 damages. Tho defence was n
demurrer, that there was no cause of ac.
ton ; that it was too remote that il was.
IN fact, merely mote in the plaintiff &
eye. The demurrer was overruled. The
defense Then set up accident. But the
-Justice laid down the law to be. that

A QUESTION or JUEIsDICTIoN. The
United States Senate is said to be divided
j. opini as TO its right to set AS High
Court Of Impeachment upon an official
10 longer connected with the Govern
ment. However much it may be desir-
able to punish the guilty, it would be well
If this question were settled positively in
The Affirmative, before further proceedings
we'c had. il is point which at once
suggested itself, when it became known
that the House Of Representatives had
taken unanimous action in the matter.
There can be no defect so fatal as a want
Of power and if the Senate, yielding obe-
dience to the popular wish, assumes juris-
diction which it does not possess, it would
be bhrlesque on Justice
There are several points which present
themselves in view Of his on. If TIC
power OF impeachment lies after mn ac-
cused olicial has terminated his relations
with the government, how long does it
continue. There should be some statute
limitations in crimes OF this character
as there is in most other climes. Other
wise no man who had been in public life
would be exempt from annoyance If po
lltical or personal enemies obtained con.
troll Of the National Legislature. What
c al / not be established at one time would
be REGARDED as established at another
While we think it was great mistake
which permitted Bcknap to resign while
charge: Of such n grave nature hung over
Lin, it occurs to II, that it might be es-
tablishmg Il dangerous precedent, to dea
with him now exactly as if he were stil
in official position. The criminal court,
are now the arena to which the public
mus' look for justice to be meted out to
the offender in this case.

"ON WITH THE DANCE. mr.. Leary
Smith, of Grand Island, is rigid church
member and is consequently opposed to
the sinful recreation of dancing. When
his step son returned after whole night
spent in the practice of the saltatory art,
Mr.. Smith attempted to oremonstrate.w
the boy by blowing out his own brains,
but not having any, the attempt was of
course unsuccessful. Like Webster, he
"stiil lives" though his scalp is full of
bird shot. And the sorrowful part Of the
affair is that even if Mr.. Smith had sue
ceeded in his truly laudable attempt, the
thereby that dancing is wrong.

CHINESE OLIGARcHY.-In his speech
at Union Hall DR.. Wozencraft struck at
the root OF the matter in referring to the
six Chinese companies as a despotic OIL
igarchy which ought to be broken up.
These slaye-traders are a law within
themselves, exercising absolute power
over their 10000 servile subjects, and
enforcing any measure they see fit, even
to the death penalty 1t is a govern
ment within our government, which de-
fies and defeats our courts Of justice in all
cases where it conflicts with their inter-
ests. The issue should be made at once,
and if ifsucCessful, their government should
be broken up and all their subjects liber-

THE CHINESE QUESTION IN CONGRESS-.
1t is gratifying to know that California
has one representative in the lower body
of Congress who understands the feelings
which pervade the State in reference to

vice. Mr.. Page, the representative from
the Second Di>tiict, introduced lately Il
resolution in the followng terms, which
was passed under suspension of the rules
Whereas, it is alleged that there are
Mt the present time 100000 Chinese on
the Pacific coast, many Of whom have
been brought thither under contracts loi
seryile labor, and that their numbers are
being constantly increased to tho great
detiment Of the loboiing men Of thai
coast and in derogation Of treaty stipula-
tion between the United States and the
Empire Of China; therefore be it
Resotced, That the President be and

In 1850, several wealthy men of PhiIa-
dclphia, entering into specific arrange
ment, took Government bills of exchange,
and issued their own notes to purchase
supplies for the army. December 81,

Congress as the Bank of North America.

oily. In 1855 the State charter was re
pealed, bnt in 1877 renewed without the
