Tom Scott, thu Pennsylvania Railroad
man, il said to have furnished the means
to buy the New York World. That 10
just where the mischief lies. There is
one Of the prolific sources Of much OF
the corruption that now 6isgraces public
men and renders the administration Of
public affairs commodity to bought
and paid for, like beef on butchers
block. The vast masses of aggregated
capital controlled by railroad corpora
tons enable them to buy great infu-
entail newspaper like the World. to elect
legislatures and political gatherings.
Also to ssnsibly affect the Jurisprudence
OF the country by the action of courts.
II ever the Great Republic of the United
States Of America comes to disaster it
will be from the Vaccinations of the
great railroad corporations. Look
abroad and sec how the matter stands
even now. When legislation is pro-
posed dealing with affairs OF that char
acter the lawmakers do not consult the
people, they ask this company it's pleas
ure, or seek to subserve the interest of
some other corporation. Is proof re-
quired. Sec what the Union Pacific did
In Congress. See the arrogant holiness
with which that company and the Gen.
trail Pacific propose to swindle the peo-
pie by selling them their own property.
Turn TO the last California Legi stature.
Read the proceedings Of that body and
then answer az to who controlled 1t, the
people or the Central Pacific. There is
not sane man on the coast who, il he
replies truthfulIy, but will soy that the
Central Pacific was as much the ruler of
tho California Legislature as the Gear is
over Russia. Turn again to the revela-
tions concerning the misdeeds OF the
prominent public men Of the day. In
every job, in every rascality, in every
dubious transaction there is as sure to be
q railroad In 1t as there is woman in
the scandals OF social life. This is not
because these undertakings are railroads,
but because such enterprises are the
favorite forms in which capital aggre-
gates itself and forms such enormous
masses as to destroy private enterprises
as well as public virtue. The danger of
the day arises from tho great corpora
tions. For that reason men of the people
ought to be elected to public Offices and
not the corrupt tools Of corporations,
who are hired like scavengers to accom-
plish filthy tasks.

lilo men have bsen taken too long upon

ceived. The result is that rascality has
pervaded every branch OF public life.
We do not know what charge is brought
against Speaker Keer. but We do know
that whatever charge it is. hs ought to
be able to answer it instantly and com.
plettly. A public man occupying the
position he docs. ought to invite and
defy scrutiny. That is just the source
Of Blaine's weakness. He says he is not

he does not invite investigation, on

rHE school HOOK rIENDs.

Do what you will. SAY what you please.
the school book iends will never down.
This State. like many others. lie cursed
with Law which puts II in the power OF
. State Board TO decide what ttxt books
shall b. used by the schoIars Of the pub
lie schools throughout the State. 1t 10 a
most unfortunate Law and should be re-
pealed at ths very earliest opportunity.
The RECORD will make il point next
winter OF calling the attention of the
Legislature to the matter aud asking
that 80 mischievous rule be abrogated.
II opens widely the door for fraud and
puts premium on lobby log rolling.
Under its provisions the publishers of
the various kinds OF school books en-
ploy touters, runners and drumpers,
both male and female, to bssicge the
members Of the State Board. The latter
never have any rest from the importuni-
ties Of the school book agents, who boast
the assurance and cheek OF the lightning
rod man. insurance solicitor and book
pedller com ined. All kinds OF induce
mepis are held out and all kinds OF meas.
ures resorted to 10 insure compliance.
For example. the School Board Of this
State ha1 l6uyhorixsd the use Of certain
set of readers which, OF course. are sup
piled BY . particular house. Another
house in the same business has prepared
q different series and is moving Heaven
and earth to procure the adoption Of it's
publications. The old books are alleged
to be Of little or no account and the new
are about perfection and all that kind OF
stuff. The fact Is the system Is all
wrong. The State Board should not be
invested with the power Of compelling
any change or insisting upon tbs use of
any particular set Of text books. 1t
might be well enough to give it the priv
ilegs Of making suggestions on that be-
half TO local boards, but no more. The
laoal boards Of trustees should by law
be empowered to select the particular
class Of books they thought would be
prudent to use in the schools OF their
several districts. The present system ia
merely an invitation to corruption Of the
worst character. and should be abolished.
The profits Of publishing school books
are enormous and II is the desire OF the
publishing houses to gather tho rich
harvest. which causes these Desperate
and persistent attacks upon the State
School Board. II tho publishing houses
had the wider field to engage in OF in
fuencing great numbers Of local boards
the expenses would eat up so much o,
the profits that they would not very lonf
make efforts in that line. It would b,
too costly. take too much time and labor
be too dangerous and too unreliable
There would be an end of this book wa
and all it's corrupting aud dangerous in
huences.

enforced abdication of the late sultan,
appears to have been the result Of q
