and publishers naturally care little what inc
quality of the goods vendcd may be, as long
"a their sale is secured for them by law. In
the case of the opening of thorough private
school under the highest class OF teachers
these books were examined recently III
eraly by the hundred, and rejected, before any
were found which did not darken knowledge
rather than help to impart it. 1t is asserted
that the "snaker in this bill lies in the lnten-
ton to secure five years sale of such text
hooks in use at the time Of its passage. TINS
could be remedicd by the appointment OF
committee, not of petty politicians who act as
school trustees, but of teachers both skilled
and learned, men of ircproachable integrity,
who should decide upon the textbooks for the
State during the next five years BY this means
our children would have the chance to acquire
few definite ideas which now they have not
and we should be rid of much expense and
more corruption.

ua effort have led to association not only in
this but in all Christian ages, as a means both
of stimulating and of economizing good works.
The mother of all these modern societies is
the Church, and her children are also her
helpers and auxiliaries. To each are allotted
particular tasks-the relief of bodily want the
correction of bad habits, the rescue OF the
TEMPTED from temporal or eternal ruin. Each
society which meets this week in New York
has its particular task and its special form OF
labor; and all are working together to dlmln-
ish, 80 far as possible, the aggregate OF human
mistakes and failures. Perhaps society does
not adequately recognize its obligations TO
those who thus take up its neglected duties
and by united effort. in some sort supply the
want of individual fidelity to duty. But they
do more than this. They collect information;
they 20 out into the highways and byways IN
search of the necesstOus; they put what was
emotion and sentiment and impulse upon
practical business basis II is needless to ada
that they are entitled TO the sympathy which
manifcsts itself in generous contribution. Such
stewards should not be made custodlans OF
empty treasures.

ANNTL MEETINGS..

Anniversary Week in New-York, though not
what it was in the days Of anti-slavcry and of
other agitation, yet retains its local interest.
Men have not lost faith IN association, nor IN
that charity which comes of religious earnest
ness. They still seek to rescue their fellows
from the dominion of the senses and to pro-
mote temperance and chastity. They still
labor to open the eyes of the blind. They are
yet anxious TO send the Gospel to the heather
abroad and to preach it at home; to guard the
mariner from the special moral dangers Of his
calling, and to furnish Bibles and Tracts to
those not likely TO furnish themselves. Once
year they assemble to listen TO the reports
of what has been accomplished, TO determine
the work of the future, and to be encouraged
by timely addresses. The tribes do not come
up 80 numerously to the jubilee, but the so
cictics are working az well rs ever, by the
hands of their executive officers. Beneiactions
are still made by devise and donation, and
much money is spent, if not 50 much % the
workers wish for.
In estimating the value of this method of
philanthropy, it must be considered that IN
many of its departments statistics inadequately
show accomplishment as a whole. The exist
ing. Purpose may he as precious rs perform
ancc. The promoters and supporters of these
societies might have given their time, strength,
and money to much lower enterprises or wasted
them seishiy. The part which they have
chosen is admitted to be the better one, yet
all do not choose it. Indeed, so far as works
are concerned, those who are the helpers of
their brethren are not IT ne majority. Even in
orr giving we do not care for organization and
method and so the result is that liberality
and good feeling, not altogether void Of merit,
are wasted through the Incidence OF the reck
lessness with which they are exercised. We
give to escape importantly. w" are sorry that
there should he wrong-dOers, hut we are not
ready 10 risk WEAKNESS to make them right
doors. The difference between those who work
definitely and those who work without fixed
purpose is that the latter are indoleut and the
former industrious. Most of us will not take
the trouble to be practically good.
This inefclcncY and uncertainty of indiyid

Gen. ICnatief, Of whom we have heard a. great
deal lately i'm connection with Russian and Turkish
diplomacy and ante-war movements, has gained WITH
the Sublime Porte the reputation OF an eXtraoru-
nary economist Of truth He seems, according to
report to have such fOndness for misrepresentation
that he often tells unruth when the truth would
better serve his purpose Indeed he is so unguarded
and reckless they say, in his statements, that his
weakness is invariably discovered lie is 80 nm
automatically diplomatic that he wishes to make
each representative of n foreign government DeheVe
that he and his country stand higher IN tho
Ignateilian mind than any other representative and
country. For example, when Boxer was our Resi-
dent Minister in Constantinopie, lgnatich called
uDon him. and said that he had hOnOred him and
tho United States with the first official visit
although little while before, Boxer had seen the
General enter the British embassy The American
knew the Russians pocuarity so well that. having
heard one DAY that the latter had 50 bad cold that
he had lost his voice completely remarked. eff that

Ii seems to be pretty we'll settled that the
accident to the roof of the Post-Oifice was que
primarily to the excessive weight of Mr.. Null
lct's roof, but directly to the imperfect 1asten-
ing of the truss. This last was undoubtedly
the fault OF the contractors, as the supermtchd-
cnt tcstifcs, but it is not quite so clear that
he should not have examined with the utmost
promptncss work on the th0roughneSs OF
which number of lives depended. The re-
sponsibiity for the accident seems to be travel
ing rapidly descending scale. Mr. Oakshoit'
the superintendent, puts it upon Mr.. D"ughei'l'
the foreman Whom Mr.. DOughcFty puts II
upon remains to be seen.
Mr.. George II. Butler can usually he rcll"d
upon to disgrace himself at every available
oDportnnity. SO when some one in the POST
Office Department was betrayed into giving
him an Office under the Government there
WAS consolation in the thought that he would
earn his dismissal in short meter And he has
done 50. The same fellow who was driven
from his post in Egypt for personal misconduct
celebrated this appointment by starting on ID
tour of duty extensively drunk, and 10y getting
drunkcr and more offensive with every mile oi
lis Journey, making meanwhile frequent pub
lie displays OF his new commission. When these
facts were brought to the Postmaster-GcncmIs
attention, ne, with a prompncSS which does
him honor and glycS the Administration
crcditablc release from IN embarrassing posi-
ton, revoked the appointments There Is only
one drawback about the affair. Nh. Butler

Assuming chat Kars has fallen, Russia has
now control Of q vast region from which she
may operate against Erzerum, the great object
of the campaign. Mukhtar Pasha took care
not TO stake the fate OF that city on halS,
and is now about % miles south OF
that fortress, amid the gorgcs Of the
Soghaulu Mountains where he may make a
vigorous defense. But while the Russian cen
ter is detained momentariy at kars, the left
and right wings are intent on turning the
Turkish line of defense. Amid these convcrg-
ing forces it is almost a military imposSibillty
that the Turks can hold Erzerum very long.
The Building Department has shown COM
mendable promptnc,s in taking warning by
the two great calamtics Of Brooklyn and ST..
Louis. The theaters were all examined and
necessary precautions enforced upon the man
ayers, and the hotels have now been subjected
10 the same investigation. In another column
are given some of the results of these eXami-
nations The demands made Of the hotel pro-
priet0rs can certainly be easily complied with.
This is a matter however, in which the public
will be glad 10 see both the Building Depart
ment and the hotels more anxious about The
safety of guests than about the cost Of alterd-
tons.
