List Of Textbooks.

Under the constitution and laws
OF the State the matter OF choos-
ing Textbooks for the pnhlie schools
is delegated to the Board OF Edit
cation.
Boards Of Education in office
prior to 1886 selected several sc
ries from which county and city
schoo! boards were authorized to
adopt such books as they deemed
best for the schools.
The Board Of Education in 1886
presented y book list. but allowed
county and city boards to continue
to use the hooks then in use, or to
adopt those on the one-book hat
prescribed by the State Board.
II The boards desired 70 make
any changes they were required 10.
adopt tie one. book list proscrihrtl.
The policy Of the State Board in
1856 did no:necessitate any change
in text books except IN copy books.
The policy of the present Board
Of Education is to allow county
and city school boards TO continue
10 use the books now used If they
so desire. hut extends to them the
further privilege OF making their
choice of hooks from those licensed
by the State Board. 1t will be ob
served. therefore, that this policy
is more liberal than that pnrsned
by the Board IN 1856, in that dur
ing the next fonr years any OF the
books now used may be continued
at local boards may exercise their
choice between the several books
on the State list. No changes in
Textbooks are necessitated except
in copy-books.

improvement in the Postal System.
The young postmaster of an
eastern village was hard ar work
in his office when Il gentle tap WAS
heard upon the door, and in step.
ped hiuShlng maiden of is, with
money order which she desired
rashed. SHE handed it, with a
Tashful smile to The official, who,
after closely examining il. gave
her the money is called for. At
fhe came lino he aaked her If she

margin OF the Order
No, l have not,' she replied, 'for

The young postmaster read as

CHANGING at the hashfnl girl, he
said. Now. have paid yon the
money aud l suppose you want the
kisses
Yes she said, 'if he has sent
NE any kisses want them, too.'
1t is hardly necessary to say
that the balance Of the order was
promptly paid and in II scientific
manner.
On reaching home, The delighted
maiden remarked to her mother:
'Mother, this poS;office system Of
ours is a great thing, developing
moro and more every year. and

the masters. The BILL which is OF compreheh-
Give nature, has been referred by the Cortes TO
parliamentary committee presided over by the
former Foreign Minister Senior Moret Prem
dereast who is one of the most intimate trends
and trusted lieutenan,s of Premier SagaSta.
The success of the efforts OF the Government
70 provide for tho Welfare of the working
classes will be largely attributable to the polite
course which the latter have OF late years
nursued and especially to their refusal to form
anv alliance with the Socialist movement Al
though the great majority of the inhabitants OF
Catalonia. which is the industrial centre OF
Spain. are republicans at heart, yet they are
shrewd enough to understand that any con-
nection of political with economical agitation
would antagonize both the classes and the
Government, and furnish the latter with
pretext for repression. Nowhere in Europe
have the laboring men kept more aloof from
the Anarchist movement than in Spain, and
when they refused to join in the international
labor demonstration on last May Day on the
ground that the demonstration was promoted
bv the Socialist they took care to explain
that they aimed at the improvement OF their
condition without employing any revolutionary
methods that COLD alarm the governing classes
and the soverciyns of their country"

A SPANISH SURPRISE.

Accustomed as are to regard Spain as one
OF the most rcactionary countries OF the globe,
a feeling of surprise will certainly be created by
the announcement that nowhere in Europe has
labor legislation made more rapid progress than
in the dominion Of King Alfonso XIII. Not
content with substituting universal suffrage for
the comparatively restricted franchise which
has been in force until recently, the Govern
ment has drawn up and submitted to the Ma
tional Legislature at Madrid a series of laws for
the benefit of the working classes that are far
in advance of the labor legislation enacted else
where in Europe. The severe restrictions with
regard 10 the labor Of women and children, and
the insurance Of the working classes on the
German plan, against accident, sickness and
old age, constitute only division of the meas
ures in question, which further provide for the
establishment of legal workday of eight hours,
for the transport free of charge by rail of bona
fde laborng men i'll search of employment, and
for the organization in each town, village and
commune of special iunta' or municipal
board charged with the care of the interests of
the working classes, and with their protection
AGAINST tyranny or oppression on the part of

THE ARGENTINE CRISTS.

The Argentine Republic is known through
ont South America AK Iankcedom, but 1t Is
one of highlands commercial colonies. While
it's population has been recruited largely from
Italy. its enormous material prosperity and the
rapid development Of its resources have been
wholly dependent upon investments Of British
capital A CORE ,pondcnt OF 1.-THE London
Times" in Bucnos AyrcS asserts that competent
authorities estimate the aggregate amount Of
these investments as $500, 900, 900 at the
minimum. and as ~ 900, 600, 600 at the max
imum. British capital has gone into every
enterprise on which interest has been guaran-
,ccd bv the state. The Confederation at large
and the various Provinces individually have
borrowed money freely in London; the elab-
crate system Of railways to which the progress
Of the country is mainly to be attributed has
been built by English engineers with English
money; and every speculative movement has
been promoted by the facility of securing
financial support from Great Britain. The
creditors of the nation III the monetary crisis
through which it is now passing are mainly
English investors, and the burdens of national
bankruptcy. if that be the final result of reck
less announcement of the finances, will fall
upon them.
From the account furnished by the CORE
spondent of "The London Times it appears
that political revolution was narrowly avert
ed early in the spring. When gold rose to
3l5 most serious agitation laid hold of the
entire population of the capital. The laboring
and mercantile classes, whose savings were
deposited in the banks, suddenly appreciated
the fact that their fortunes were reduced two
thirds by currency imitation. mass meeting

The present promises to be a memorable
season on the Atlantic. The mishap to the
City of Paris suggested the possibilities that lie
in wait for the best constructed and apparently
safest steamships. Then several collisions and
harbreadth escapes from collision with the
extraordinary number of icebergs in the
track of steamers are calculated TO make
the nervous shrink from essaying an ocean voy-
age. Two weeks ago yesterday the GaScogne.
Of the French Line, struck rock off the Sclly
Islands being saved from destruction only by
Inc lifting of the fog, which revealed the dan
ger in time to bring the vessel nearly to stop
before the collision occurred. Another cX-
tremcly narrow escape, almost identical with
that of the Gascogne, is reported to-day. The
CITY of Rome. when approaching the Irish
coast in fog yesterday morning, ran upon the
famous Fastnet Rock. Fortunately the danger
was discovered in time TO reverse the engines.
and the steamship escaped with injuries that
are not deemed serious. At all events, after
calling at Queenstown she proceeded toward
Liverpool. These repeated accidents will
serve 20 impress the necessity OF unusual eau
ton on the mind of every prudent commander

Governor Hill has completed his considcra-
tion Of the bills lott in his hands by the Legs-
lature In the memorandums given out from
his Office yesterday il is noticeable that the bills
unsigned are more interesting lot than the
last batch which received the signature that
transformed thcm into laws. The thanks OF
the people Of Nev'-York City are due to the
Governor for allowing the Aqucduct-tlaimS
bill and the Cable Railway bill to perish as they
deserved. Both of them were obnoxious, and
were not in reality entitled to favorable CON
sideration by the Legislature. In connection
with the Appropriation bill Mr.. Hill found him
self unable TO refrain from indulging in a
stump speech, wherein he declares that the
Legislature is only entitled to moderate share
of credit for keeping the tax-rate low. The
facts, however. are more eloquent than the
Governors affirmation. They arc that the tax
rate this year is 33 $40 per cent less than
last, and that the reduction in the appropra-
lions is not less than S3,939,70i. The tax
payers will read. mark and inwardly digest
