GERMAN DAY PARADE.
Fully Thirty Thousand German Americans Take
Part in a Grand Procession at st. IouIs.

Part in a Grand Procession at st. Iouis.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 5.-The great German
day parade, preparations for which have occu-
pied so much Of the attentions of the German
Americans in this city during the past three
weeks. took place this afternoon and though a
drilling rain, which set in about noon and con-
tinued until O'Clock, somewhat dampened the
clothes of the paraders, floats and flags, the
patriotic pride OF the paraders of this city was
not in the least dampened, for there were full ly
30 900 OF them in line. Each man carried an
American flag, and FIVE great and artistic floats
representing the fable of Damroeschen's
''Slee ping Beauty were drawn in a float di-
vision. Every phase OF political allegiance re,
Ii :ious belief, social position and personal SEN
timent had part in the parade, and
voice in the exercises which followed it. Demo-
crat and Republican, monarcnist and socialist,
Jew and Christian, Catholic and Protestant,
united as one man in paying the tribute of Ger
man loyalty to the land of their adoption. The
parade consisted OF two grand CO umns and six
on foot. comprising 26, 900 people, in gorgeous
uniforms, one division of floats, division
of cavalry 5000 strong and one of
carriages. In the procession were thirty -five
bands. Grand Marshal Orthwein was in charge
of tie parade, which was three hours in pass
ing given point aud which traversed the prin-
cipal streets. In the evening an entertainment
was given ct exposition hall. DR.. Lieber,
member of the German parli Iment. and others
delivered patriotic speeches which were fol-
lowed by a musical programme.

books was referred TO the Twenty first
legislature by the state superintendent,
but nothing was done to relieve the pop.
uiar agitation on the subject; and it still
remains to be wrangled over, and dis
posed OF in some way.
Last spring Superintendent Coop er ad-
dressed inquiries to all the state superin-
tendepts in the Union touching the best
and most practical system in the matter
OF school books. From the answers re-
ceived and published in his last report,
there can be no doubt that the verdict is
strongly against state uniformity, or
state publics ton. There is hardly an
argument in favor of the latter that can
stand the test OF logic or of experience.
job out of which somebody would make
q fortune. But that is, perhaps, not the
most formidable objection to that plan.
Others more mighty still are at hand 10
prove its mpracticableness. At the
proper time they may be adduced in
order, if necessary, TO discourage any
legislation of that character. Neither
is state uniformity of school books the
blessing which it is thought TO be. The
arguments against it are almost
as conclusive as those against
state publication. No infexible
and cast iron System will work any bet
ter in the matter of school books than in
that Of reapers, moving machines or
plows. What would the farmers of the
state think and say If law were passed
by the next legislature directing them
TO adopt a certain make of plows, even
though it were the best, and to buy no
other? They would not receive it very
kindly, would they? There is as great
difference in the value, character and
excellence of school books as in the DIFF
ferent variety of plows, and text book
that one teacher might admire, another
would not have in his school; what would
suit one set of pupils would not another.
But there are other and, perhaps, more
weighty arguments against state uni
formity.
What, then, is the best way of
settling this school book question? From
all the evidence at hand, and Judging
by the failure or success of the many
systems tried, it appears to be pretty
well agreed among educators that the
best solution OF the question Is district
unifo: nifty. That is, the adoption by
each school district for itself of a set of
Text books for say three or five years but
no longer. Perhaps the shorter term is
the better one. Such is the conclusion
Of Mr.. Cooper, and such the recommen-
dalton which he makes to the legisla-
ture. All who desire to become posted
on the question of schools and books,
and to have clear and sensible ideas on
the subject should write to the state
superintendent for copy OF the last
school report.

Factories and Freight Rates.

SOiOraOo Sll1Zen.
The Fort Worth GAZETTE remarks that
"Texas wants factories, and Texas is
resolved to have them" which may be
construed to imply that THE GAZETTE
favors the railway commission. Few
factories can flourish in Texas when tor
the sake of the transportation OF the ra W
materials beyond our borders and the
return of the same after manufacture
the railroads levy freight tariff which
is practically prohibition of manufac-
tories in Texas. Our city engineer tells
us that he can secure piping and other
material for the waterworks here at as
cheap or cheaper freight rates from St.
Louis or Pittsburg as from New Bir-
mingham, Tex, though there is so
much difference in the distance, which
does not show up well for the mauufact-
ure of iron in New Birmingham. An
inquiry into the reason why this and
similar facts exist comes within the
province Of the people.

UNIFORMITY OF SCHOOL BOOKS.
The school book question is one that
will make figure in the forth coming
legislature. Like the question Of taxes,
it is always, or nearly always, with us.
Although there is a deplorable amount
OF popular ignorance on the question,
the subjects of state publication and
state uniformity of school books are as
dogmatically contended for by many
who know little or nothing Of the mat
ter. as are certain theological doctrines
by their votaries. There are arguments
to be sure in favor of both propositions,
but are there not stronger arguments
against them? Is not even the argu-
ment of experience against them. Who
ever will teke the trouble to Investigate
the matter little, will we think, find
it so.
