The Index Gays AN adjourned meeting
Of the State Board Of Education was
held Monday morning in the Office Of
the Secretary, the object of them meeting
being a further consideration Of the bids
offered on text books to be used for four
years from date in the public schools Of
Nevada. Various bids from the lending
publishers in the East aud on the Pacific
coast were duly considered. The books
adopted are Harper's series of geogra-
phies 10 supp!aut CorueiIs biographies
10 in use, Swinion's series OF Language
lessons and Grammars to supplInt
Hnrvey's grammars now in use. aud
Swiuton's word book to Surpinnt the
Pacific coast spellcr nov in use. These
new BOOKS were substituted for the old
by the publishers on the basis of an even
exchange aud lower retail rates guarnu-
teed tina those nov paid for similar text
books. The Board also recommended
for use several text books as supplement
tary and for the high schools: SWEETS
elocutiun in place Of Randall's elocu-
ton, Reeds word lessons, Swinton's
word analysis aid Daucruft's spelling
blanks. The Publishing houses securing
adoption are A. l.. Bancroft X Co.,
QueSnn. Brakeman, Taylor K c.. and
Clark & Maynard. The first is a Pacific
coast house. the other two ARE Eastern
houses.
Before the Board Of Education was IA
resolution unanimously passed by the
last State renchers' Institute, urging the
necessity IF a change in these text books:
also petitions from IA large number OF
teachers asking fer Il change. In these
special text books there has been no
change since Keily's administration as
Superintendent nearly ten years ago,
aud our teachers unanimously seem To
be of the opinion that the books are an
tiquarcd and inefficient nS text books.

RELATIVES LEFT.

It seems that President Cleveland has
made up his mind TO steer clear Of nep-
otisni, and his recent action in appoint
ments in at least two instances leads one
apply. A man named Cleveland, who
claimed to be IA cousin of the President,
made application for the position OF
Postmaster at Quincy. Illinois, and as
his application was backed by n host OF
tho most unobjectionable endorsements
no Thought vas entertained by his
friends that there would be the least
difficulty III his securing the appoint
neut. The President, being in doubt
As to the claimed relationship, To be on
the safe side appointed another man.
A similar case occurred In San Frnn-
cisco where q gentleman named Hen
bricks, n nephew Of the Vice-President,
was an applicant for the important po-
sition Of Superintendent Of the Mint.
Owing to the relationship existing be-
tween this applicant and the second
round in the Government ladder, many
anxious seekers for the position resigned
their claims in favor Of one who was sup
posed to he invincible. But his name
proved his downfall, and Judge Lawt"n
who vent to Washington as an appli-
cant for the Assistant TreaSnrership at
San Francisco. WAS informed that if he
would withdraw his application for that
office, and make application for that of
Superintendent Of the Mint his applica-
tion would be fnvorably considered.
This he did and was rewarded with the
appointment. So it seems no Cleveland
mo- Hendricks need apply.
