Then the wheels of legislation revolved
/ without friction until Kilgore, of Texas
called up the House bill to incorporate the
Maritime Canal Company, of Mica ragua
There were five objections, and under the
rules the bill could not be placed before the
House.
Several private bills having been disposed
| of in Committee of the Whole, McRae of
Arkansas called up the Senate bill to in
| corporate the Maritime Canal Company of
Nicaragua. =,
Culbertson of Texas offered an amend
ment providing that nothing in this Act
snail be he'd or construed in any manner
| to involve the United States in any pecu-
mary obligation whatever other than in re-
spect to the payment of tolls
Phelan of Tennessee offered an amend
ment providing that the canal shall be un-
der the control and protection of the United
States, in order that the representatives of
all the North and South American peoples
may be guarded against any infringement
or aggression on the part of foreign nations.
Also, that tolls shall be equal on the same
class OF tonnage for vessels of all nations,
except as provided in Article LIV. of Con-
cesslons and DEGREES of the Republic of Mic
aragua to the Nicaragua Canal Association
OF New York. Also, that the United States
Government binds itself TO protect all the
rights of citizens in said concessions and
DEGREES, and guarantees the neutrality of
SAID canal and its operations under the
terms OF said concessions and DEGREES sub
Ject to the consent and approval, by treaty
or otherwise, OF the countries through
which the canal may be constructed
CulDertson opposed Phelan's amendment.
Ii they were adopted the Government
would have to keep a standing army in
Nicaragua to protect the rights of the cor
poration.
Pheian replied that the gentleman radi-
cally misapprehended the terms OF the
amendments. They were drawn for the
purpose of preventing the result of which
the gentleman was apprehensive They
had been drawn in careful conformity with
the utterances of the State Department,
from Grants administration to the present
time.
Fuller of Iowa said he did not intend to
permit the bill to go through without
quorum.
Phelan, in order not to imperil the pas
sage of the bill, Withdrew his amendments,
and Culbertson' S amendment was agreed TO.
The bill being in Committee of the
Whole, the question was put of reporting
The Dill favorably to the House. The vote
resulted 80 to 6, and Fuller made the point
of no quorum.
The committee then rose and the House
took a recess until evening.
The House, at the evening session, passed
tWenty.seven private pension bills and ad-

The Text Book Mudd,e,

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoS So much has been
said by Edward Martin about the distribu-
ton to the schools of textbooks, thG. has
been at variance With the truth, that | oe-
lieve in Justice to the dealers, upon whom
all the blame has been thrown, the other
side of the question should be heard. The
law requires that the School Boards,create
a revolving fund, buy the books of the State,
and sell them to the pupils at cost The
Board of Directors of Sacramento did not
comply with this requirement. They asked
certain dealers if they were willing to do
so. Three of them met with the Board,
and did so agree provided all the other
dealers would do so. Two other dealers in
the city were not present. In order to
make the agreement equally binding, the
Board agreed to present a petition for the
signature of all the dealers. This the Board
failed to do, and ii left the two dealers who
were not present at liberty to dc as they
saw fit i'll the premises, and gave TO the
dealers who had agreed conditionally to
sell the books at cost, the right and privi-
lege to recede from their promise.
Mr.. Martin has been making g very loud
to-do about the injustice to parents, the
non-f1lfillment of promises, the oulrages
perpetrated, and actually aserts that
there was not single dealer in the city
L ne State allows the dealers to charge a
certain advance over the State or cost price.
This in the absence of any obligation, they
did, and had right to do. Was this an
| injustice? The State provides that the
| School Boards shall create revolving fund
and furnish the scholars books at cost.
IMr. Martin was one of tie most
l.anxious oe the Board to sVade this
Eduty and have the dealers take it off
ttheir hands. The Board did not do their
duty. Was this justice to the parents?
There waS no promise made that was not
conditioned upon the action of the Board,
| and this action wss not fulGlled by them.
Who then failed TO fulfill their promises?
One dealer did not keep. the books at all.
Was this swirdle?. Was it swindle for
| dealer to charge just what the law allows2
| The leading members of the Board knew
on Friday last. three days before the OPEN
| ing of the schools, that the dealers would
MOI sell at cos.;. that there was dissatisfac-
ton, owing to the nom -fnl6llment of their
promise to bind all the dealers. Why,
then, did they not provide during the IN
( teryal for the supplying of the books as the
law requires. II. G. MEaERLE.
