The school-book question is one OF
the issues in the California election
this year. A constitutional amendment
is to be submitted to the voters, which,
ii ratified at the polls, will result in the
State assuming entire charge of the
business of printing all the text
books used in the public schools. 1t is
proposed that the State shall establish
a printing Office, buy it's own paper and
type and pay it's printers and foremen
fixed salaries; that there shall be q
superintendent directly responsible to
the administration, with a board Of ex-
aminers to pass upon all bills and a
veto power in the Comptroller, with
full authority on the part of the Legis-
latr1re to overhaul things biennially.
1t may safely be predicted that this
latter prerogative will be called into
regular use, if the amendment is ratified,

esting 10 me. I would be glad to see all who

cises. thank You for your kindness and will
always retain the memories Of this occasi on.

Howgate Heard From

The Washington correspondent of the Balh-
more Sun says that some days since private
detective came there to look into the matter Of
the rumored arrest of Capt. Howgate. He had
been told there was a large reward offered bui
he did not know by whom. He thought he
had some good information as to the where
abouts Of the captain, and if there was any
money in the case he would bring Ho wgate
back inside of week. He was frs directed
to the United States marshals Office, it
being from the custody of a deputy mar.
shall that he escaped. Marshal Henry,
who filled the office when Howgate escaped,
personally offered reward Of $500, but that
reward fell when he left the office of marshal.
The detective inquired at the department Of
Justice, United States Jail and police head
quarters, but nothing could be ascertained
about any reward being offered. This detec-
tive says that Howgate spent the winter in Ber-
muda, but returned to this country in the
spring, and has been in Southern Maryland
within days railroad ride of Washington al
most all of the time since,

The London Economist, a leading
authority, if not the very highest, in
speaking, August 9th, of the wheat and
other crops, says that the then recent
weather is worth many millions (sterl-
ings) day to the country. And goes
ON with the declaration that the wealth
er has settled the question Of cheap
wheat and other grain during the re-
mainder of the year. The prospect is
from survey of homo and foreign
fields, that wheat in 1884 bids fair to
be cheaper than at any time during the
past one hundred years. This estimate
includes Of course the supply from the
United States, Europe and the East.
In other words the price Of wheat in
Liverpool will be fixed by the competi-
ton Of Europe, America, Australia and
India.
