clio VIII, declares that II shall be "fer
the equal benefit Of all the people Of the
STATE" there Is no word in that or any
other section Of the Constitution which
confines the benefit to the people Of this
State alone.
hardly think the courts would re-
cognize the right Of the Legislature to
tax the people of this State for the ben
eft OF the children Of residents Of West
Virginia or North Carolina along our
State line. Indeed, when it comes to
adding about 100000 per annum to
the taxes to be paid by the people, so
that those amply able and willing to
pay for them should have school-books
furnished free, the Taxpayers are apt to
inquire anxiously why this promise was
put into the platform of both political
parties. Il.

Queer Books I'm q German Library.
London Daily News
One of the most curiously original
collection of books in any library is
said to be botanical collection at
Warsenstein, in Germany. At first
sight the volumes appear like rough
blocks Of wood; but on closer exam
nation it is found that each is CON-
plete history of the particular tree
which it represents. At the back ofthe
book the bark has been removed from q
space large enough to admit the scientific
and the common name Of the tree
as a title. One side is formed from
the split wood Of the tree, showing its
grain and natural fracture the other
shows the wood when worked smooth
and vanished. One and shows the
grain as left by the saw, and the other
the finely polished wood. On opening
the book one finds the fruit, seeds,
leaves, and other products Of the tree,
the moss which usually grows upon its
trunks, and the insects which feed upon
the various parts Of the tree. To all
this Is added . well-printed description
Of the habits. usual location, and man.
ner Of growth Of the tree.

play here, and grand performance Is
promised. 1t comes highly recon-

The New York Tribune in closing it

The New York Tribune in closing its
review of the year 1885 says:
THE year closes with labor gene.
rally well employed, excepting where
contests are in progress, and with the
outlook for industries decidedly more
hopeful than it was year ago."
The Boston Herald in commenting
upon this suggestively heads its article
THE Truth at Last" and says:
1.-THE unpatriotic attempt Of the Re-
publican organs to. make the voters be-
leye that a change of administration
would bring disaster upon the country
was continued for some time after the
times began to improve under Demo
cratic Administration"
at is as we repeatedly told our
readers: A government OF and by the
people is safe in the hands of any ma.
jority Of the people,"
Sound doctrine this last. But some
one might say that it is equivalent to
admitting that the Government would
not have been safe in the hands Of the
Republican party; for the Government
as administered by that party ceased
long ago to be Government Of and by
the people.
