and the establishment of National
currency instead of different kinds of
paper money for all the different States
was the work of the same party.
1t would please Republicans to
have as complete record of the Ma
tion's growth as can reasonably be
obtained. To collect vast mass of
disquisitions about various topics is
not necessarily helpful to the country,
particularly if the work is thereby so
delayed that it cannot be printed un-
til eight or nine years have passed.
But the delay in printing results of
theIcensus of 1880 was in part due to
Superintendent Walkers defective
method, and in part to deficiency in
printing facilities which it is entirely
within the power of Congress to avoid
hereafter.-Iribune.

for Ivison & Blakeman's chart is op
Grating in some parts of the country
and is trying to convey the idea tha
himself (Mr. Stone) not only recon
mends the use of the chart in ou
common schools, but makes it oblig
atory on the part of sshool commit
tees to purchase it, under the law
for their respective schools. MI
Stone recommends the chart as use
full thing for the schools, but doe
not seek to force it on any district
nor is he at all pleased with what h
feels is false representation on I'll
part of an agent in regard the in
piled necessity to purchase this spe
ial chart. Book agents, wheth'
they be minister or what not, are
cheeky, if you do not say disho
est, set and it is well not to be coer
ed by them.
