THE law making school text books
free, which has been in operation in
Boston for the last six years, is declared
by the superintendent to be an unquali
fed success. The aggregate cost to the
city of all the books used in the schools
is about one-haf of what the books cost
the parents when purchased by them.
The cost per capita for the instruction
Of pupils has been reduced under the
free system from $500 per pupil in 1884
to $3.50 during the past year. OF course
other causes entered into this reduced
cost Of education, but the books play an
important part. The city gets larger
discounts than private buyers, the books
are better cared for and last longer, and
the poorest pupils are equally equipped
with the children of the woll to do. The
statistics show that in six years the city
has purchased 100000 books, OF which
! less than 1900 have been lost and 3,OO(
have been worn out. If the Boston ex
pertinent is fair test, it cannot be de

THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR 1T.

The man who sets fire to house and
then rallies with the fremen to extin-
guish the flames is justly held responsible
for the destruction of which he is the
prime cause. The men from the silver
states who voted for Thomas B. Reed,
the agent of Wall street, for speaker of
the house of representatives may make
glowing speeches in behalf of their
states, and talk about the great interests
that they have at heart, but the ques-
ton is bound to come back at them,
"Then why did you vote for the arch
enemy of silver, if you are it's friend -
There is no escape for the men who
voted for Reed. They are responsible for
his acts. They knew when they voted
for him precisely what he would do.
They knew what he was put there to do.
They knew that Reed had the appoint
ing of the various committees of the
house. They knew he would appoint a
committee on coinage that would throt-
tie any bill providing for free coinage.
1t is idle for them to protest and explain.
Talk is cheap now. 1t won't go at cur
rent rates in Montana or any other sill
yer producing state. The men who
voted for Thomas B. Reed are the men
who defeated free coinage.

IT is striking sign of the disaffection
of the republicans toward the national
administration that SO many republican
senators took pains the other day to con.
graduate Senator Wolcott at the con-
clusion of his speech, and that republi-
can newspapers have also applauded his
criticism Of Mr.. Harrison. The Salt
Lake Tribune, in it's comment on the
speech says Perhaps he should not
as a republican have arraigned the ad-
minlstration as furiously as he did, and
yet the provocation was very great.
That the president should permit his
chief clerk in the treasury department
to go about and with threats try to in
tluence legislation, with threats that If
he could not have his way, the president
behind him would veto any measure
that congress would pass, has been
something provoking, as it has been dis
graceful, and it is not strange that {
hotheaded, impetuous man, like Senator
Wolcott, should refer to the business
with tho contempt which it has earned.
But it was not because of his attitude
toward the silver question alone that
Mr.. Wolcott complained. He arraignet
the president for very many shortcom
ings, and bluntly declared that he hae
disappointed the expectations of the
country and of the men who nominated
| nim.

A new anecdote of Browning. and good

greatly interested in it, and started to re-

and exclaimed: Good gracious! I've for
gotten the rest!'' The monograph dutiful-
ly repeated all he had said, including the
exclamation at the end, and the film upon
which the poets language was impressed is
now preserved as precious relic. 1t is
somewhat surprising that Mr.. Browning
should have forgotten the lines of SO famil

lapse of memory might have been explained
on the ground that he could not tell whethe
he was going backward or forward.

Gratis wish it." This was at the critical
turn in affairs when by immediate &C

THE presence of Thomas B. Reed in
the speakers chair ought to be worth
several thousand votes day to the
democrats from now until the next
election. He has proved all that his
friends feared and his enemies hoped.
1t is now apparent that he is playing a
bold game for the presidency, and that
his big card is to be the forcing through
the house of federal election law. "He
is playing his gam g." says the Louisville
