AS the necessary supply of school books
| forms material element OF the cost of edu-
cation, it is highly proper that they should be
| obtained with as little expense as possible to
| the purchaser. Since the introduction Of the
| new system OF books into our schools, con-
siderable complaint on tho part of parents
and guardians has been made with reference
to their price aud quality. The grievance of
| which they complain appears to have ITS OK
istencc in the large profits realized by middle
men in the sale OF such books. In order to
avoid this difficulty, ! recommend that the
librarian be authorized to purchase the books
used in public schools, directly OF tho
publisher, and deposit them with the school
| commissioners of each school district AZ they
are wanted, whose duty it shall be to dis
tribute the same among tue patrons OF the
school at their cost price and forward the
money to the librarian.
FERTILIZERS.
As agriculture is the leading and most
prominent industrial interest in this State, and
as chemical manures enter very extensively
into the growth and production of almost
every crop, the value or quality of which can
only be ascertained by actual experiment. or
| by careful analysis made BY reliable
chemist, recommend the passage OF a law
amendatory of the existing law upon the sub
ject, making it the duty OF the State chemist
to analyze, free of charge a sample OF each
fertilizer sent to him by any farmer or other
person using the same, and to prepare q
certificate setting forth the commercial value
thereof, and declaring it misdemeanor in
any manufacturer or vendor of such manurcs
who shall. in the sale Of the same, misrepre-
sent their intrinsic value.
FRUIT CULTURE.
The insect, which has become one Of the
most prolific sources of disaster to some OF
the most remunerative products of our soil
|
matter which demands serious attention. III
view OF its Importance to the public,
recommend that you take into consideration
the advisability OF procuring the service of ar
experienced entomologist to give to the people
such information az may enable them to de
wise some means by which to protect suct
crops against the ravages of this foe.

New York. April 5.-Some interesting
correspondence has taken place between the
president of the Young Mems Central Re-
publican club, of Brooklyn, and Henry
Ward Beecher. Colonel Ingersoll is TO

the auspices of the club, and its president
wrote to Beecher. at lngersoll's request, ex,
tending to him an invitation TO DO present
aud assuring him that nothing that could be
distasteful TO him from religious standpoint
would be said. Beecher's reply was Is
follows:
DEAR SIR: Thanks for your note Of March
20. l also thank Colonel Ipgersoll for init.
mating that it would give him pleasure to
have me present at his lecture of Tue. day
next. am sure he knows could;sfford to
listen to any sentiments which he sincerely
felt that il WAS needful for him TO utter,
however much might differ with him rs to
their truth or importance, but l have been
under an engagement tor weeks to preach an
ordination sermon on that night. If Colonel
Ingersoll could only come and hear that he
would be in the same position, doubtless,
that should be at his lecture, though
could not promise not 10 say anything "dis-
tasteful" to him. hope you will have a
large audience, and have no doubt you will

Yesterday, election day, dawued clear and
the sun shone out bright The temperature
was pleasant, and had it not been for the
blus,ery winds and binding dust, the day
would have been fine one. But furs the
hacks and other vehicles bedecked with
streamers bearing the names Of some csndi-'
dates, a stranger in the city would never have
suspected that municipal election was 10
progress. II was, or the whole, the most
quiet and orderly election ever held In tne
cily of Dallas, and there was but very little
drunkenness. Later in the day, however,
more interest was unaffected and gooo
deal of eleclioneering was done, especlaiy oy
the republicans who di their utmost 10

evident that the number polled would oe

election the vote stood rs follows: FIRST
ward, 400; second ward, $780, third ward. $40;
fourth ward, 800. The total vote cast was;
For marshal, 1882; for assessor, 1885. A full
republican and greenback vote was polled,
but many of the democrats, for some
unknown reason, perhaps it was indifference,
sbsented themselves from the polls. The
proposition to levy tax for the
erection of public school buildings
was voted down. A great many
voted for and against it without casting
their vote for any candidate. As before
stated, the election passed off remarkably
quiet, though there WAS great deal OF wire
pulling done in quiet way. After the close
of the poll' in the evening the excitement in.
creased and the more curious fingered around
the voting places until late hour awaiting
the flnsl count of the vote.
The most interest was taken in the mayors
race, and numbers bet on the Rsult, the odds
generally being given by Goods supporters.
The vote stands as follows:

ElII1OlslAL NOTES.

Attorney General johnson of Kansas has
given an opinion that the conscientious use
of wine at the communion service is not for
hidden under the new prohibitory liquor law
of that State, but that its sale for such pur-
pose by either licensed or an unlicensed
druggist would be a clear violation of the
law, and would make him liable to the same
extent as if he sold liquor to be drank as a
beverage. This don't seem to simplify the
matter much.
