THE STA TIE SCHOOL BOOKS
1t seems that there is no State fund
now to pay fol-. State school books and
hence those counties which have ORDER
ed will ha We to pay for the books them
selves. From present appearances, it
will be some time before the State
text books are generally introduced.
At the recent meeting of the COM
mission, IT, st. Paul, we notice.. first
and second readers were adopted. The
readers i'll question ale an entirely new
series: prepared by superintendent Hac-
ris of st. Paul, Prof Reckoff of Cleve-
land, Ohio, and Prof. Mark Baily of
Yale College. Tie third and fourth
readers in this series are in press and
will be completed soon. The matter
which has been added to the grammars
and the practical arithmetic, to make
those books equal in size to the stand
ards, was adopted.
The Pioneer Press says:
The State Superintendent of Public
instruction is collating the reports of
county superintendent for public:l-
ton. lie finds that eighteen refer to
the text book law with unqualified dis
favor; live equivocally, criticising or
doubling. Only four speak of it with
decided favor. Nearly I'LL say that
thus far the law has propuced results
the opposite OF those intended, leay-
ing children without books, and Great
ing uncertainty and confusion. Of the
number not referring to the subject in
their reports, thirteen have in other
ways expressed decided dissatisfaction.
In the five counties whose superintend-
ents are somewhat equivocal, commits
sioners have not decided to act under
the law, and perhaps with one excep-
ton, the same is true of the four coull-
ties whose superintendent favor the
law. Only four or five boards Of coun-
ty commissioners in the entire State
have shown All inclination Ito make
provision for the payment OF the price
Of such books,' and the attitude OF
these is very doubtful.

THE GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE.


For the past two weeks portions of our
country have been convulscd with dan
ger which at one time threatened to
enact n system Of destruction and pilIage
rs fearful and reckless as the Commune
of Paris visited upon that city few yeas
ago. The occurrence of so extensive and
formidable an uprising against the peace
and order Of society should command the
thoughtful consideration of the people of
our nation from Maine to Texas. That
an insnrrection can spread in u few days
over this great country, menucing the
rights Of private property and defying
the law of the land, shows that many of
the States nrc unprcparcd to suppress re-.
brliion, and suggests the propriety of a
very considerable incrcase of the militia
OF the several States, and the organiza-
tion of that militia for active duty when
ever occasion may arise. Another les
son taughe by tho recent strike is That
the old law requiring Governors to stay
at homo during their term of Office is
salutary and wise. Had tho Governor of
Pennsylvania been at his pest instead Of
out West, the bloody riot and destructive
burning of Pittsburg might have been
avcrted.
The most serious aspect Of this matter,
however, is the sanction which The c0n-
duct of tho strikers Tacoived from the
citizens Of the several States. That they
had provocntions there is no doubt, but
there is not one particle of justification
for their high-handed and outrageous
proceedings in interfering with other
hands and stopping trains. If they
could not afford to work for the wages
paid by the company they had no right
to say that other laborers should not
work those prices. So long rs their
resistance was confined to ceasing work,
and even to trying by argument to dis
snade others from working at rates below
IL living, they might command sym
pathy. but whenever they attempted to
use fc:ce TO prevent honest iaborers from
accepting positions and to forcibly stop
freights, passengers and the mails they be-
came mob, and all good citizens should
have united to put them down by force II
necessary.
The fact that tho difficulty is about
over now will give our people On oppor-
tunity to reflect upon the gravity of the
recent riots, and It ;s to be hoped they
will be Eo strongly discountenanced as 10
prevent any repetition of them in the
future.

President Hayes in issuing his second

for the truth declared insurrecton to ex-
lat i'll every State in the United States,
and yet not single newspaper that we
have seen has condemned his reckless
slander Of number of the States of the
American Union. Because Maryland,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois
and other States are troubled with in.
surrection, is no Justification of the Pres
ident i'll his assertion that the same state
of facts exists in South Carolina and
other Southern and New England States,
which are as pcaccable and quiet as they
have ever been since the formation of
our government The declaration Of the
President has done no harm in this in.
stance 1t Is true, but upon principle we
cannot justify such wholesale and inten-
tional misrepresentation. If the rresi-
dent has the right to declare pcaccable
States in insurrcction, he has the equal
right to follow Tint declaration by march
ing the United States army into them to
qucll such insurrcction, and il tho people
remain quiet under this dictatorial SLAM
der, they may expect further cncroach-
mcnts upon the rights Of ffcemcn from

be fraud anyway. Tyranny is crca-

The classic features Of Ex-Governor
FRANKLIN j. Moses were recognized by
the itegisfer reporter yesterday afternon'
as the Ex-Governor, seated by the side of
Senator Cochran, chairmr.. of the inyes-
tigating committee, in q fine brett, dashed
along some of the thoroughfares of the
city. There are rumors that the party
visited I.e residence Of well-known cit
izen in search of piece of furniture
which was sold by the Sheriff at the re-
cent sale Of the cx-Govcrnor's personal
effects, and that they were successful in
finding the sought for article, which, sin
gularly enough, had never been opened,
the key having been lost before it was
sold. A locksmth was sent for, who
soon picked the lock, and peck or more
OF valuable papers, which have not seen
the light of day for 10! these many
months, taken thcrcfrom and delivered
to Senator Cochran. 1t is presumed
these pnpcrs will find their way to the
committee room Monday, and then may
the devil take the hindm0st.
Our informant tells us that the lock
was very difficult one to open, requiring
