tCharles N. Taintor, School-book Publisher.l
There are only about twenty-five firms in
this country that make a business of publish
ing school books. They do a business of per-
hAps So, 900, 900 a year. Ii one fifth of the
population is of school age. and a portion OF
that fifth does not attend school, there can
not be more than 5000 900 school children in
the country. TIL allowance OF 81 a year for
the books of the scholar Is q fair estimate.
Tho profits arc not ar large as is
supposed, as an expenditure of several
hundred thousand dollars Is some
times necessary before there Is any profit
from a series Of Biographies or readers.
Only three OF tho school-book publishing
houses are south and west OF Philadelphia
and Baltimore. Now York has almost all
tho business except one firm In Cincinnati.
Two-thirds of the s~chool-book business is
done by Ave firm or these, Ven Antwerp,
Bragg & Co.. OF Cincinnati, and Ivison,
Brakeman, Taylor & Co, of this city, prob
ably each do a business OF over 81, 500, coo.

A Word 20 the Commissioners.

The result of the preliminary investigation
instituted by Mr.. Fielder of the congressional
committee, and Mr.. Taden, his expert, would
seem to indicate that some other people be-
sides the journal which raised all this muss'
would bo sorry when it 10 over" Like the
ostrich, which hides its head in the sand, the
commissioners have steadily refused to pay
any heed to the popular demand that the dis
trict offices and officers should be accessible to
daylight, and have raised the cry that The
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is waging war
against them personally. By their very
secretivencss they have succeeded in inspir-
ing distrust and suspicion, and, while no
charges OF dishonesty are now made. It is at
least certain that these gentlemen have laid
themselves open to serious criticism. 1t is of
no use to plead the "baby act" and claim that
irregularities were committed before they
came into office.
Pray, of what sort of use are the rulers of
10000 people If it requires public Torment
and congressional investigation to reveal to
them abuses which should have been patent
to an ordinary observer
Take, for instance, the matter of favoritism
in the location of improvements, the myste-
rious ubiquity of Barbour concrete pavement
contracts, and the gross errors and discrepan-
cies in assessments to which THE REPUBLICAN,
has called attention, and it would seem that
the 'muss" has not been raised any too soon.
The error into which the commissioners
have fallen is in supposing the District of
Columbia is little private borough, to be
ruled and regulated as they and their conf.
Dental advisers see fit, regardless Of the
opinions of tax payers. In this the commits

swan back with his feet rolling the barrel

the inhabitants of the Catskills ran down to

up. The following morning he got down on

George H. Southall, q postal clerk, was ex-

Saturday morning. He was in Lynchburg
the night before election and made notes
of two speeches delivered at public meeting
there by Mr.. Whitehead, editor Of the Lynch
burg Adudnce, and Mt. Marie q lawyer of
Ly ynchburg. Witness read his notes. Tho
speak ers said, in substance, that they (the
democrats> intended to carry the election
"by blood" if necessary, and that all arrange
ments had been made to that end. Senti-
ments of approval for the action of tho
whites at Danville and denunciations of
the traitor Malone" were uttered. He de-
scribed circulars which were put out by the
democrats. Ono of them grossly mis-
represented statements made by Gov. Cam
eron in public speech. A colored brass
band approached the Lynchburg meeting
followed by crowd, and some one in the
meeting said Here they are come to break
us up. Protect yourselves" The whites
formed in line and great many pistols
were drawn. The approaching crowd bore
a banner inscribed 1--WE are with you" and
the whites were reassured.

The witness mentioned the name of his
cousin, Congressman John S. Wise, several
times in order to contradict statements made
by the latter.
