"If the state has equities which would

or as near fair as practicable to both

holders as to the basis of settlement.
and let the legislature submit the pro-
position to the people Of the state at

as to the manner of settlement, leav.
ing no contingency unprovided Tor, as
was done when the proposition was

your committee are confident an early

shall choose, on their part to make

1t has been suggested that propo-

SENATOR WINDON.

The suggestion, recently, Of Senator
Windows name in connection with
the Vice Presidency has been unusu
ally we'll received, especially in this
State. There is 60 intimat,on, from
any quarter that, Mr.. Window desire.
the Office or that nomination would
be acceptable to him. It is reason :
able TO suppose, however, that
it would be agreeable and, bis eminent
qualifications being universally known,
there seems to be a very cordial and
earnest endorsement Of him for that
position. Senator Window was 10
the lower house Of Congress twelve
years and has been in the Senate four
years. During that time he has ably
and effectively defended and promoted
the interests of his constituents and
has been influential in national affairs.
To foster and advance state Interests
with perfect loyalty to national inter-
ests, requires broad views, enlightened
sentiments, freedom from prejudice,
great general Information, in short. the
qualifications that constitute high
order Of craftsmanship. That Mr..
Window possesses these, his record
proves. He is probably best known
to the country at large through his
labors as chairman of the cheap trans.
portatlon committee of the Senate
In that position he has done an i'm
mense amount Of hard labor that was
attended with no glory. Gathering
information and statistics concerning
water routes, moulding the mass into
a lucid report and demonstrating its
practical bearings, is not the kind Of
work that cheap politicians do. The
transportation problem, the vital one
to the northwest, is not yet solved but
large part Of the preliminary work is
done, and has been done by Mr.. Win
dom. In presenting bis name for any
Office, his friends are exempt from the
necessity Of defending either his char
acter or official record lie has no
personal follies needing apology nor
political Inconsistencies demanding
reconciliation and, only to those who
regard answering loyalty to the prin.
cip!es Of the Republican party as a
crime, is he Objectionable.
Mr.. Windows warmest supporters
are those who know him most intimate
ly; who have had the best opportuni-
ties to judge, correctly, the motives
that actuate him aud to fairly pro-
noance oa his character. Our own
esti nate of him is not based on per-
sonal friendship-we never saw him
but on our knowledge Of his official
service. We believe him to have been
faithful to the interests he was elected
to serve and to possess those mental
and moral qualifications which always
inspire confidence.

Marriage and Divorce Laws.


Parton's case gave rise to them.
The existing legislation on these
subjects is hod ye- podge. Each
state in the Union has different laws
on these subjects from all the others.
People removing from one state to
another violate law without knowing
1t, aud, like Mr.. Parton, fiud them
selves married but not married at one
and the same time People who can
not get divorced in one state step over
the lioe iuto another and are separated
without difficulty. In one state mar
riagc is a sacrament and binds till
death, unless one party or the other is
guilty Of criminal conduct; in the
aext state it is merely contract like
business partnership, and can be
terminated Ii six months on almost
any pretext. Ia one state anybody
can marry anybo ly, and no questions
asked for conscience sake, in another
state there are persons it is illegal to
marry. The laws on these all.impor-
tant social relations are . tissue Of
confussions, and lead to deal Of diff.
Guilty, abuse and wrong. And now
that our new railway facilities bring
the several states so close together
and increase the amount Of travel and
migration; it has become a matter oI
the utmost importance to have uni
formity Of Legislation on these points
There certainly should be genera
marriage and divorce law for the whole
Union, whose terms are so simple and
obey them, and there will be no suci
thing as being married and not mar
ried at the same time IN sasa5s3 VI ~.

SCHOOL BOOKS.

In these days Of reform" We know
Of no good reason why those eagagei
10 the school book trade should not be
made to feel the pressure and imbibe
something Of the spirit Of the times.
There is no department Of trade 10 any
greater need of refor alton, and none
in which the abuses bear more heavily
on frontier communities. The abuse
is not, lack Of good text books. In
almost all the branches taught in our
common schools there is opportunity
for choice between half dozen rival
series, any one Of which will answer
the purpose admirably. 1t is, solely,
in the inferiority Of the materials used
and mechanical work done in max
ing the books aud the ouorageously
high prices charged for them. $780,
100000 are expended annually for
school books, by pupils, and, Of that
amount $33.0Oo,000, net profits, 60
into the pockets Of the publishers.
That tells the whole story. The ex.
pense of providing the necessary books
for a family Of children is felt in even
reasonably well.to do families in pros
porous communities. The burden
bears much more heavily since the
general hard times commenced, aad
when we get into localities that have
been, even partially, damaged by grass
hoppers We 6nd that their inability to
purchase the requisite number Of books
almost destroys the efficiency Of the
schools, We know whereof We affirm
in this matter. a#s @si~~> d" '.+~N2

throughout the extreme west, under
