UNIFORM TEXT BOOKS.

The question of adopting a system of
uniform text books in our public schools
IS attracting the attention of parents,
teachers and school trustees, the want of
which is patent evil, not the least of
which is the expense of buying a new set
of books with each change of teacher or
change OF residence of the pupil. The
question is thus referred to by Superin-
tendent Cooper in his report:
"In many schools good teaching is a
physical impossibility on account of the
variety of text books which parents desire
and trustees allow to be used. The re-
moval of this difficulty requires nothiog
more than legislative sanction of the in
structions to trustees given by this office.
"TO secure pormanenoy in the books once
adopted it is necessary to prescribe that
no book shall be changed oftener, say,
than five years. This rule has been found
practicable, aud is in operation in many
states.
"The burden imposed on many oommu-
mites which change books with each
teacher, and on parents whose residence
is not permanent, of buying new books
for each change of teacher or residence,
cannot be removed by any method short
of state adoption. State adoption might
also give lower prices than we have in
many places at present. There seems,
also, to be no fundamental educational
reason why all the ungraded schools
might not be required to follow the same
series of books"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-01-03
A LUCID INTERVAL.

The Globe Democrat, in Wednesdays
issue, speaking Of ballot reform, makes
the following admissions:
Still il is undeniable that large sums
of money were employed by both par
ties in unlawful and demoralizing
ways to defeat the will of the
people. There is no particular inter
est or profit in an inquiry as to which
party went the further in this direction.
Both we're sinners, because both found
that the scheme of voting in vogue made
frauds ON the ballot easy to accomplish
and difficult to detect and punish.
1t is matter of surprise that so rsbid a
journal as the CD. did not content itself
with laying all the corruption in the late
election at the door of the demo-
Gratis, or wholly upon the
whits people of the south. For once the
st. Louis organ has paroxysm of old
fashioned honesty, and momentarily cess-
ing TO spit its venom upon the
southern people, admits the plain
truth. This is that "large sums
of money" were expended by the republi-
cans in the election. It is true the CD
charges like corruption upon the demo-
crsts, and according to all accounts it is
true to some extent with northern states.
Our skirts here are clear of the barteripg
and selling of votes, which, in the eyes of
unprecedented foreigners, made the cleo
ton of Harrison almost as much of a
farce as that of Diaz in Mexico.
1t is useless to deny the Globe Demo
Gratis allegation of corruption against
both parties in Q northern states on the
9Th of Move last. We also quite

The decision of the supreme court in
the case of the Gull Colorado and Santa
Fe Railroad company We. the State OF
Texas, drives the last nail into the coffin
OF the Texas Traffic association, and makes
railroad pooling forever hereafter i'm
possible in Texas. While the organization
of the association was in violation of Sec
ton 3, Article 10, OF the state constitution,
the court also says it is not clear but that
the Traffic association "could be enjolned
even in the absence of the constitutional
provision, as being in restraint of compe-
tition and contrary to public policy"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-01-03

"The dominant American railway policy
observeaa recent writer, 'is the accumula-
ton of Indebtedness to the utmost limit,
without setting any bounds to borrowing
or providing means for payment" In
many case object of new railroad en-
terprise' - not so much providing trans
portation as to borrow money and fill the
pockets of the projectors, who, as soon
"a their purposes are attained drop their
roads into insolvency and the hands of a
receiver. IL has been shown that, out of
5000 railway companies, 1,4O0 of which
are extinct, Only fifty have established
sinking funds for the final absorption of
their debt. This goes to establish the
truth of the recent declaration on the floor
of the United States senate that "a railroad
company ia L OF incorporated for the pur-
pose of paying its debts. That is not
one of the objects of its creation"
The practical effect Of this reckless
policy Is that since 1876 over 400 Ameri-
can railroad companies, operating $4,000
miles of road, have been declared insoy-
ent and a resdjustment under foreclosure
applied to capital stock aggregating in
excess of two billions of dollars, or much
larger than the national debt itself.
With few things is the public mind less
familiar than with the prodigious churac-
ter of the railway debt of the United
Statee, which, in 1886, amounted 10
S4,377000,000, or far exceeding the high
est limits reached by the national wer
debt. This was over $40 to every man,
Voman and child in the country. About
half billion of railway bonded irdebt-
edness natures within the next ten years
and over two billions in tho first quarter
of the next century.
Ia 1886 the interest on this vast aeon
mutation of debt, which must eventually
come out of the pockets of the people in
the way of freights and passenger rates,
amounted to $lS700O,O0O, which is also a
charge on the industries and wealth of the
country. In twelve years this interest
paid will equal the principal. This bur
den on the resources of tho people is not
diminishing, but increasing. The ques-
ton is, are the people to be perpetualy
saddled with this drainage of their money?
Can this state of things be remedied?
1t can, but only through government
power and interference. Railway com
panies should be forced to provide and
maintain sinking funds for the extinction
of their indebtedness, and as security TO
the people that their shoulders shall not
be forever weighed down by burden
80 colossal.

The Tenure of Office.

The tenure of all appointive offices in
the federal government was originally
during good behavior" which included
faithful and acceptable service. During
President Monroe's administration an act
was passed fixing the terms of postmas-
ters appointed by the president and sen
ate, of revenue officers, United States
district attorneys and certain other
officials, at four years.
The ostensible reason for this enact
meut was to secure stated and frequent
periods of settlem emit with the more I'M
portant public servant. The real reason
10 said to have been the desire of William
II. Crawford, the secretary of the treasury
to bring the offices within the control of
the appointing power without subjecting
the president to the Odium of making re-
movals for party reasons.
But, whatever the reason, neither Presi-
dent Monroe ror his successor, John
Quincy Adams, availed himself of the
opportunity of Selling and distributing
the offices as spoils. With very few ex
captions every official was reappointed,
uIon the expiration of his term, by both
these presidents unless there was good
cause for a change aside from politics. In
this they followed the rule of all the
earlier presidents, who treated the offices
as public agencies, not as personal per-
quisites or party spoils.
The power to remove officials before
the expiration of their terms is still vested
in the president and senate. But its ex-
ercise for partisan reasons is a gross
abuse of the executive power, whether
INDUCED in by democrats or re-
publicans. President Arthur did
very little of this "cean
sweeping" President Cleveland has com
monty, though with many inconsistent ex
ceptions, waited for the expiration of
terms before making changes. Public
sentiment sustains so much of the reform
principle as demands that there shall be
no removals without cause.-New York

TIE zAXIBAR SLAVE TRADE.

Some of the older readers of The
STATESMAN, who formerly raised corn, cot
ton and sugar by slave labor, will be in
terested in the foreign dispatches this
morning, giving an account of slavery in
Zanzibar, on the east coast of Africa. 1t
seems the English East Africa company,
the habit of hiring slaves from Arab
dealers, asserting that no other ort
of labor could be depended upon. An
agreement exists with the Arab slave
owners to pay them the wages, and under
the agreement even English missionary
stations have teen obliged to deliver up
runaway slaves that took refuge, sanctuary
refuge, so to speak. The secretary of the
English East African company, it is true,
has denied the statement concerning the
company's agents in Zanzibar, but it has
q semblance of truth about it.
There ia no doubt an attempt is being
made to sandwich negro slavery into the
Anglo-Saxon colonization of east Africa,
now in its infancy, inst as was done in the
original settlement of the north Atlantic
coast of America two centuries ago. The
result on this continent cost million of
lives and thousands of millions of treasure.
Nor could we wish to see the possibility
of such su experience entailed upon the
future civilization just starting on the
Dark continent,

recommendation that the University lands
be placed under the control of the Uni
versity regents. Upon the subject of
land titles the commissioner says:
Litigation in more than one Judicial
district has so resulted as to cast doubt
upon the validity of large majority of
the sales of land made by the state land
board under the act of April 70, 1888.
at is now simple act of justice that
these purchasers who, acting ia good
faith, have complied with the law as far as
permitted, should have their titles CON
frmed and all doubts and uncertainties
removed. The moral relations of the
state to these purchasers, whose lands
have been declared forfeited, is another
subject for serious consideration, in view
of the fact that the state never gave them
a title"
