The cost of textbooks for school
children is SO great that the States are
taking the matter into their own hands.
1t has been suggested that tates employ
competent persons to edit books suited to
the needs of scholars in the common

of which is this:
The school committee of every city and
town shall purchase. at the expense of

Some Remarks on the GOycrnOrship.

Editor Register and JoHrndi We no.
ticed recently very super0uous remark
oil the Nergennes paper. that the people
in this part of the State were in favor of
Dr. Nichols for governor; that is. if the
expression, this part of the State" is
supposed to cover any more space than
the office of the TermOnter. If limited
to that we presume it is true.
We have also been astonished mt an ar
ticle in the Burlington Free Press, which.
in admitting the eminent fitness of Col.
Pingree FOR governor. suggests that he
should wait in order that DR.. Nichols
might have the office. 1t would appear
to the common mind that the man who
didn't fight was the proper man to wait
The soldier wait. Did he wait when the
fate of the country trembled in the bal
ancef And shall he wait now: shall he
be asked to wait? What ever may be the
peculiar views of the editor of the Free
Press, the great heart of the people beats
tue on this question. Every time. other
things being equal, they give the soldier
the preference. Patriotism and gratitude
alike dictate this. And they will do it
now. FARMER
