Another Raid of the school Book
Ffends

The school book fisnds have made a fresh
descent upon Washington la the interest of
the several publishing bouses for which they
are the drummers, and a fresh raid is threat
ened upon the pockets of parents aud
guardians. The objective point OF the school
took dTumners just now is for a change in
Biographies, though they are putting in some
side Establishments TO induce a change OF
other text books. Why these birds of prey
should flock here just now is a mystery,
unless because they have been baffied
in other quarters and think they can
find easier victims here. The fact is
that such a resOlute stand has been
taken by the oveT-taxed parents in other
parts OF the country against being bied
so continuously by the schOol-book pub
fishers, through these swiftly recurring
changes in text books, that the cheeky drum
mers find their field OF operations very m UGH
circumscribed. In some localities the drum
mers have been shut of by the passage of
laws imperatively forbidding the change OF
text books oftener than once in five or more
years. The tax payers of this District ought
To have the protection OF some such law.
THESE continuous changes are not only bur-
densome ts the parents, but they are, In
many instances. positively Instantaneous
10 the pupils, who hardly get "the hang" OF
a book, or system Of books, before they are
required TO throw IL aside and take nm
another. or course the plausible and
persevering drummers are able TO pick
flaws In all the other books than their.
own, but they prove too much, as tax
Ing their testimony as a whole IL is evil
cent that all alike are faulty. This being
The case, IL is safe to assume that the pres
ent books have as few defects az the Others
or at any rate that there is not sufficient su-
periority in the latter to justify an expen-
sive change. or course, too, the plausible
and persevering drummers argue that the
changes really involve no expense, but this
sort OF statement TO parents who have been
victimized is too preposterous TO be listened
TO with patience. But the drummers have
made their raid here at a very unpropitious
season These are hard times in Washing
ton; thousands are out of employment, or
scarcely earn enough to keep the wolf from
the door; and when a large portion of this
community hardly know where to get the
bread for their children, they are certainly
not In condition to indulge the luxury OF
buying superauous school books. These
facts are appreciated, we are sure, by our
School board; hence, the drummers, with all
their persuasive eloquence, will fail in their
mission.

The Maryland house Of representatives has
passed righteous bill regulating the sale OF
seats In theaters, concert halls, and other
places OF public amusement. 1t provides
that proprietors or lessees shall not mark
any seats as sold, taken or reserved unless
they shall have been actually sold as re-
served at least one hour prior to the time of
Abe beginning Of each performance; the PEN
atty for violations being q fine OF from one to
nve dollars for every seat, one-ha,f to go to
the informer and the other half to the con-
troller for the school fund. A similar law
should be in force In every town and city to
prevent the imposition OF conductors OF all
places Of amusement. 1t Ii not unusual to
see hundreds OF front seats ticketed "Re-
served" remaining unoccupied during an
entire performance, while persons who have
paid for seats In the same section are COM
PEELED TO occupy less eligible seats In the
rear. The pracsice should be broken up Is
an imposition on the public.

"Sauce for the gander" makes an excel

Representative Bass, of the Committee on
the Expenditures OF the War department.
he says IL was not so very long ago that
leading members OF Congress considered II a
proper thing TO rummage the bank accounts
OF private citizen, Mr.. Dom Piatt, and to
parade bis grocery and wash bills before the
public, because he was suspected OF having
received 5000 of the Pacific Mail money,
