THE WORLDS FAIR.

The movement for holding Worlds
Fair on this coast three years hence may
now be said to be fairly on its feet There
is probably but one thing that will prevent
its success, and that is the possible advent
of yellow fever. Ii that assaults us this
year, we had as we'll forego preparations
for the fair for several years. But assum-
ing that due precautions will be taken and
an almost impossible barrier erected as can
be done by proper regulation, and the
fever kept out of the State, and there will
remain no reason for any failure regarding
the exposition, There ought to be no
laundering, To devise, operate and sue.
cessfully conclude a worlds fair is bust.
ness matter. 1t calls for wise business
The application to the
scheme of the same energy, persistence and
caution that characterzes the commercial
men of the coast, will guarantee for it a
success. The thing to be done is for every
one to keep his temper, to be entirely self
sacrificing, to sink self and selfish interests
to have no personal ambitions in all this
matter. There must be a union of effort
between San Francisco, Sacramento Stock
ton, Los Angeles and all the interior cities.
No jealousies must be countensnced, and
no classes or cliques tolerated. This is a
matter in which the whole State is inter
ested, and while San Francisco will reap
the largest measure Of benefit, yet we
think we know the interior well enough to
say that on the part of its people there
will be no other than the best spirit mani
tested toward the metropolis The interior
is friendly to the scheme it will give
it all the aid in its power, and will neither
expect nor demand reward, except such as
shall legitimately flow from great expo
sition of the products of the industries and
growth of the world, made within the
borders of the State.

RAILROAD LAND GRANTS.

a correspondent in the San Francisco
Bulletin cries halt to the tide of vitupers-
ton against railroads concerning the lands
with which they have been aided. 1t is
popular thing, as he well says, to abuse
railroad company, and it is supposed to be
measure of lofty patriotism to inveigh
against such corporations because they re.
ceived public lands. 1t is shown. however,
as has often been done before, that in fact
it has been wise act on the part Of the
Government to grant these lands, for it
has brought the ad jacent public lands into
market earlier than otherwise would be
possible in the century, and at prices
yielding as much to Government as if it had
retained and sold all its lands. All this is
exclusive Of the great factor of settlement
OF the country and the establishment of
communities where else civilization would
not have reached half century hence. OF
course no one wants a railway company to
have public land confirmed to it if it has
not fairly earned it /; but on the other hand
the jesuitical plea under which it is sought
to have Congress violate contracts of grants
is unworthy good citizenship. The Gov
eminent should deal with railroad corpora
ton compacts precisely as it would with
natural persons. They should ask for and
receive no favors as to lands not justified
by contract, law and wise policy, nor
should they be Disseminated against in
Judgment because they are artificial per-
sons, and open to every conceivable as.

McGuffey's Readers.

The Board of Education has adopted Nc
Guffey's Readers, as will be soen from their
notice in to-dsy's paper. After experiment
ing with two other series. they come back
to McGufey's with the conviction that in
all essentials Of a Reader, they never have
been surpassed and never will be. In this
they ore sustained by the action of Rich
mond, Petersburg, Lynchburg, and the
largest cities in the United States. Char
lottesville, Lexington, and Staunton, the
great centres of High Education in Viz
ginia, have adopted McGuffey. Along the
the Midland and Western Railroad, county
after county has come back to McGnffey
with Q unanimty that would be incom.
~prehensible, did we not know the book
Danvale Register.
This action is based in every instance
on the accommodation OF the leading pro-
fessiopal teachers of each county, without
consultation with those of any other. Side
by side with McGuffey's Readers, Harvey's
Grammar, Rays Arithmetics and the Elec-
tic History of the United States have been
almost univers lily adopted in this State
-Ffedericksburg Ne,cs.
These books have been adopted and are
now in use in the schools of Charlotte and
Salisbury,
The McGuffey series is easy Of suscei ia
bility, yet progressive, and when once
adopted is considered almoS, indispensably
necessary. We give the prices below, and
trust that educators aud parents will avail
themselves of the opportunity of supplying
their schools and families with good books
at reasonable prices.
