No State MONOPOLY.

Rev. DIR. E. E. Higbee In his paper on
Text Books and Legislation Pertaining
Thereto" read before the meeting Of the
National Educational association In San
Fnncisco, demolishes the proposition
that state should enter into the book
making market, publish books at low
cost and enforce their use in the schools.
As DR.. Higbee says, this proposition Is at
war with the whole theory Of our govern
ment. II we concede that the state
should 20 into book. .making, then why
mot the manufacture Of farming imple-
ments for the farmer and cheaper cloth
ing for the individual citizenr
No doubt these could be made cheaper
than under the present regime of indi-
vidual business competition. But the
saving would bear no proportion to the
menace that would be built up by a state
monopoly, having all the state machinery
20 uphold and advance it. Paternalism
would wax stronger every day; and the
people, the true source of all power on
earth, would soon be nothing and the
government everything.

Miss Willard at Chicago.

One Of the very strongest advocates of
the abolition OF the tax on whisky In Miss
willard, presiden OF the women's Chris.
tiance Temperance union OF this country,
Probably the Lancaster lNTELLIGENCER
has observed this. s.-Lancaste, Inquirer.
Very true. And IL the Inquirer will
read elsewhere In this issue of the INTEL.
LIaENCER, it will discover how Miss
Willard was treated by the Republican
convention in Chicago. She went before
the convention with a memorial in be.
half Of prohibition. That memorial was
thrown upon the floor and was covered
with tobacco spit. This is on the au-
thOrity OF ex.Gov. st. John, whom We
believe to be more authoritative repre-.
sentative Of Miss Willard than our Re-
publican.loving and rum-hating contem.
pOary, the Inquirer.

Cleveland aud Pensions.

Congressman Hovey, of Indiana, who
expects to get the place on the Republi-
can ticket that Porter would not have,
declared in the House the other day that
" the Democratic party from the presi.
dent down is opposed to al pension legiS.
lstion."
What arrant nonsense The record
shows that President Cleveland has
signed 1,26i pension bills, against ,524
signed by all his Republican predecessors
from Lincoln down to the present time.
In other words, one Democratic presi.
cent In three and one.half years has
signed nearly as many pension bills as all
the Republican presidents signed In
twenty -four years. 1t is about time that
NJ Republicans ceased their efforts to
eRack the president on his pension

Maxwell's Case.

Secretary Bayard, to whom was ad-
dressed q note by the British minister,
asking for respite in the case Of Hugh
Brooks, alias Maxwell, the murderer Of
Arthur Preller, has very properly turned
the whole request over to the Missouri
state authorities. Maxwell and his VIC
Elm were English subjects, and 1t Is said
that English interference is now due to
the declaration by Maxwell's attorney
that deep grounded prejudice exists IN
Missouri against the prisoner. Secretary
Bayard says: " As to the merits OF the
case know nothing, as 1t Is a matter In
which the state department can take no
action. The case arose in the state OF
Missouri, and the conviction was had
there and sentence pronounced In that
state. It is thus left solely for the state
TO determine what shall be done. i am
Of the opinion that it canuot be made q
national question. The governor OF Mis-.
souri, will doubtless act upon the British
minister's request as he may feel inclined
under the Missouri law, and not as any
law exists, national or international, to
compel him to act"
This Is good, sound sense. No federal
interference with matters essentially per.
tanning to state. Maxwell's crime wa!
most brutal; he has been given every
chance to prove his innocence and th'
finai disposition Of his case may be safel.
left In the hands Of the Missouri authori
tia.

way disputed, first at Temple place, and again
at School street, in each case a volloy of

heavy fine 1t is wonder that they do not
have recourse to their fists, but almost al
ways they take it out in swearing and blus-
tering Occasionally, though very seldom,
for teamsters are not usually persons of sub
tie intellect, run across one who is gifted
with a power of sarcasm, and such one,
always notice, arouses tenfold more wrath
and infiicts ten times as much modification
as the most outrageous swearer that ever
lived. 1t was only the other day that
overheard sarcastic cabman quietly goad-
ing the driver of coal cart almost into q
tit of apoplexy.
II wouldn't get so angry, if l were you, ~
he said. you're red in the face now, and
