IL is nc more than right that Leland
Stanford should go to the United States
Senate FOR term Of six years in spite
Of the fact that he Is a resident Of New
York. The latter State has been prac-
tically without representation on the
floor Of the Senate siuce Mr.. Conkling
resigned rather incontinently la 1881,
aud there ought TO bo no serious ohjee-
ton now II II shall attempt to make up
lost time with one real Senator in its
own right in Mr.. Evarts, the fragment
of Senator Eir the next two years Ia
the person who has for some time rep
resented his own business interests on
the door OF the Senate, and third who,
while rominally living in CAlifornia
aud representing that State, really livei
in New York, can help AR. Evarts il
maintaining the dignity and honor o
the Empire State. Nor should it il
any way discourage the people CT Cali
fSruia. Sine, 1868 they have not onl,
had their own representation in th'
Senate, but they have had two Sena
tors from Nevada in addition. HavinI
THUS had four Senator's for somethinl
like twenty years they will have n
right to complain II, by any chance
they should only have three for tn
next term of six years.

each county, composed of school trus-
tees and teachers, who are TO be elected
by the teachers and trustees from each
voting precinct. They are to adopt a
series Of textbooks for use in their
respective counties for the ensuing
five years; but by three.fourths
vote they may at any time, for good
reason, revise and change list as adopt

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES uO ho1 ubuhliy sCuh-
tinue in ore community for five years,
and IL would be an extraordinary thing
for the same men 10 continue rs trus-
tees for that time. With the removal
OF teachers and the resignation or re-
moval Of trustees, what becomes OF
the textbook COMMITTEES? And when
an emergency requiring change OF
textbooks, as contemplated in the bill,
shall arise, where is the committee
which shall make that change? The
dissolution Of the POOL, or the offer Of
another publishing house of equally
good and cheaper books, would GER
tainly be an emergency demanding a
revision of the list; and in that event
who shall act.
A committee composed and influ-
enced largely by school trustees, is not
the most competent TO select books to
be taught In school. These trustees
though they should be OF the highest
integrity, impervious to corrupt influ.
ences that inevitably will be brought tc
bear upon them, and governed by 6
sincere desire TO best advance the wei
fare Of the schools, yet they are no.
fitted by education and experience t.
make the wisest selection OF the bes
books. A state committee of eminen
and experienced educators, permanent
in character, and empowered to selec
books for the entire state, is far prefer
able TO the scheme devised by Mr.
HeaEer.
THE GAZETTE doubts the wisdom o
either plan; but il we are to have uni
form books, they should be uniform
all over the state and not fuctuat,
with county boundaries. OEtwo evils
the lesser is to be preferred, and To-
that reason the uniform system that IL
open to fewest objections Is best; anC
that system is one that extends al
over the state.
