When the first resolution was read, Mr..
White moved to amend by cutting off the
first syllable from discontinued, thus
continuing the use of the reader. The
discussion on this was long and exhaus-
tive. Chairman Dickey, of the Com
mittee on Text Books, stated that
the committee had canva1sed the matter
fully and had only arrived at their decis-
ion after long and careful consideration.
He stated tina. the Principals were unit
against the retention of the reader 1t had
been in the schools these past ten years
and had become old. What the school
children wanted wa something new, and
the State law provided that new cOntracte
should be made every five years for no
other purpose than this.
Mr.. Harrell, Sir. White and DR.. Mccoy
were the principal defenders of Appleton
reader. They thought because it had stood
the test ten years vas reason why 1t should
be retained.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS ANDERSON
was called upon to give his opinion on the
reader, and he said that he had never
heard a teacher speak in favor Of Apple
toms reader. He said the stories they
contained were IN many instances, espe-
cially in the lower grades, folly, and very
improbable, citing as an instance one in
which TWO children in some way got into
a balloon, the rope Of which broke and up
they went The children subsisted on a
few crackers they had until by accident
one caught hold Of a string and pulled, and
the balloon went down, the strange part
being that although they had sailed many
miles, when they gracefully touched the
ground their parents were there TO receive
them into their arms. The Professor related
this tale 10 a very amusing manner.

was but one honorable thing to do under the circumstances. It would be rather painful, but it must be done. He would go and see the old gentleman and tell him it was all mistake. He did not want his daughter after all. He had only thought he did because he was drunk.
 The sooner the affair was over and done with the better He went to the old gentle mans house and asked to see him. The host of the night before had been informed by bis daughter Of the proposition she had received' and accepted. He was therefore prepared for visit from his intended son-in- law, whom he received in the library with smile and a cordial grasp of the hand.
 "I have come, my dear sir," began the visitor, "with something very serious to say." And he sank into 8 chair, looking very pale indeed.
 "My dear fellow" replied the old man cheerfully. 'I think know what you have to tell already. Let me assure you that you are needlessly alarmed"
 But let us draw veil upon the painful ex- planation that ensued. Whether or not the recalcitrant suitor walked out of the house, or was kicked out, is happily not recorded. The most unfortunate part of th9affair was that the girl, who was thus summarily tilted, had, with not unnatural pride, already com municated the fact of her engagement to many of her friends. The story, as told here, soon got about, and the victim was both blamed and laughed at for her indiscre- tion and immodesty in accepting man who was tipsy.
 As for his part in the affair-inasmuch as he was rich and eligible matrimonially-it was regarded rather as a good joke than otherwise.

AMATEUR FARMING.
Meeting the Suave and Insinuating
 Book Agent.

From the Detroit Free Press
 A persoa on an amateur farm is, to a cer tain extent. isolated, and is at the mercy of various marauders that infest civilized-er, as am speaking of amateur farming, per haps I should say-semi-oivilized society. Tramps, book agents, tree peddlers, light ming rod men, insurance solicitors and all that sort of terror have the amateur far mer or his wife at their mercy. You can't spring an electric arrangement and call in a policeman or out the fire department if you turn the handle too far. Even if you shout for help the neighbors are too distant to hear you. Thus it is that my farm is set out with kinds of trees that I didn't want, and that the buildings are covered with in- surance and lightning rods, and that my bookcases groan with volumes that no one ever thinks of reading.
 The book agent ia a terror, equaled only by the fruit tree man. I have often sat up nights pondering over the question, (Which is the verse of the twof' Sometimes I thought one way, sometimes another, de- pending on which of them visited me last. am usually of the opinion that the book agent is the worse, for the B.

GOV EEK ENT.
 How to have good municipal government is 8 problem which is attracting good deal of attention just now. Indeed, municipal government is so poor in many places that it demands attention. In Birmingham, Eng, a solution of the problem seems to have been reached. MT. Cuckson, an Englishman, has been telling the Massachusetts Society for Promoting Good Citizenship how it was brought about.
 Twenty years ago in Birmingham munici pal affairs were in poor condition. The council consisted of men who were qualified neither by personal ability, business capacity nor social standing for the offices they held. An effort was made to impr ove the personnel of the government. The sons of the most prominent citizens came to the rescue. They had no axes to grind, no selfish interests to serve, and were inspired solely by desire to elevate and enrich the corporate life of the town in which their families had lived so long and in which their fortunes had been made. They went into the municipal wards and ap- pealed to the good sense of the electors and quite number of them returned to the ooun- eil. That number steadily increased until the best interests of the town fell into the hands of its most capable and honored citi- zens. Then began the new era of municipal progress. City life assumed dignity and an importance to which it could previously lay no claim. Important schemes for the better
 government of the town were elaborated
 with care and adopted by the council. And
 what is better they were carried out.
 Birmingham has now an association of oiti-
 zsns before which every candidate for par!ia- mentary, municipal or school board honors must run the gauntlet if he means to hold public office. It is both 8 deliberative and an executive assembly. It keeps the people thoroughly informed the year through as to its servants and their conduct, and the meas ures political, social or educational which are before the city or country. It carries on l @ work of education continuously by means of lectures, addresses, public meetings and the circulation of pamphlets. Then it is execu- tive. After the fullest and freest discussion of men and measures, decisive action ie taken, and each member is expected to be l loyal to the decision of the majority. There l is no limit to discussion and difference of opinion before resolution is put to the vote
 and before candidates are finally adopted; but ! when the time for deliberation is passed, and the hour for voting has come, men close up 1 their ranks and present an unbroken front to their foes.
 What has been done in Birmingham can 1 be done anywhere. The difficulty is to get | the good citizens interested enough to take pains to look out for their own interest and | the interest of their city. They leave that to | the politicians" and then weakly grumble when things don't go right.
Morning journal and courier., 1889-01-23

effect of which, it argued, "would be to ads vance the cost of books to the people with out affording adequate protection to the cap ital and labor interested in the manufacture of books in this country" now says: The present bill is free from the objections that were urged against the previous bills of similar character, and which very properly caused their defeat. The bill should pass, and we hope to see it passed at this session. It is g just bill, and congress cannot afford longer to encourage the injustice which has fourished for SO long, and which it is de- signed to prevent. In fact, it is not to the credit of congress that it has been so dila- tory in putting stop to the international robbery of which authors on both sides of the water have been the victims.
 Some of the Southern Senators have re- gently displayed good deal of interest in "the white slaves" of Fall River. Senator Hoar has caused inquiry concerning their condition to be made Nr. Bonneville, the treasurer of the Shove mills, writes that the cotton mills of Fall River employ about 19, 900 hands, men, women and children. There has been no import ant strike since that of the mule spinners five years ago, and in the past ten years there have been only two shut-downs, one of four weeks in 1884 and one of eight weeks the year following. The mule spinners employed in the Shove mills earn eleven dollars a week. In some of the other mills they earn about thirteen dollars. The deposits in the Fall River say~ ings bank aggregate about $11, ,SO0,OO. "We are informed by the treasurer" says MT. Rounseville. "that very large part of the deposits are made by the operatives of our mills" Not only are these white slaves saving money, but very considerable proportion of them walk to the mills of morning from homes of their own, bought and paid for out of their savings. MT. Bonneville writes: Ths Shove mills employ about six hun- dred hands. Of this number 215 are under twenty-one years of age and 3s5 over twenty one years. We had the overseers make a careful canvass of the mill as to the number of persons that owned their own homes, with the following result: Real estate owners, 103; real estate owners and members of their families employed, 167. So that more than one-fourth of our employees live in homes of their own. We do not think the average for the city would equal this showing, but very many of the homes in this city are owned by the workers in our cotton mills.
