| IA 40 as on hand in the revolving fund,
and S87, ,59S 50 as the value of books on
hand. With these items and the balance
of the original appropriation, and the
| amount in the compilation fund, he
reaches total of S230, ,4S2 72 as available
with which to complete the books neces-
sary to complete the series. The cheat of
! the showing is in the inclusion of the two
items referred to. The revolving fund
must be used, and only, for reproduction
and revision of books, the sale of which
created the fund. The books on hand
are really part of the fund. The instant
cent of the revolving fund is used for
other work than reproduction and revis-
ion, the integrity of the whole system is
invaded.
AS the REcoRD-UNIoN has heretofore
made clear, the test of the financial wis
dom of the scheme of State textbooks
cannot be made until the last book is
issued; then, all State appropriation
having ceased, every dollar that comes
into the revolving fund must paw the
cost of issuing another dollars worth of
books, including revision, since this is a
progressive age, and school-books must
be kept abreast of the times.
The REcoRD-UNIoN has no plans nor
schemes to forward in this State school
book matter; it advocated the adoption
OF the system, and has stood, often alone.
IN its defense, demanding for it only a
fair and full trial. That it has not vet
had, and cannot have until the series is
completed. All the State knew that the
hrst cost OF the system in providing
printing plant and setting the machinery
of the system in order would be heavy:
but all the State also knew that with the
system once grounded the cost would be
infinitely less for a long series of years;
hence it was that all who studied the
propositions for the system agreed that
the first cost ought to be considered as
distributed over a period of years, and
not charged wholly against the system
at the outset.
We invite the attention of those who
may have given any thought to the as
saults of the book ring upon the State
school-books, through the hired columns
of newspapers, and paid lobbyists at the
Capitol, to this important fact: Private
publishers pay from ten to twelve per
cent. royalty during the life of a success
ful textbook to the author where pur-
| chase is not made for spot sum. Ten
per cent. of the sales of California's
school-books to this date we find would
yield $4,000, which is 5000 more than
the State Board of Education has ex-
pended. Ten per cent. upon the sales for
twice the time covered would yield more
than twice the amount expended by the
State Board.
Still again, private publishers, besides
paying the 10 per cent. royalty, employ
expensive editorial supervision and in
cur heavy costs for illustrations. But
under the California system both these
items-editorial service and illustrations
are included in the amount expended
by the State Board, and yet it does not
reach half the sum ordinarily paid in
royalties alone.

TRENTON, N. j., July 25.-The Tren

was organized in the fifties for the pur.
pose of erecting shaft to commemorate
the decisive battle of Trenton on Dec,
20, ,1I76, has at last met with success
and contract has been given out fol-
the erection of the monument. Charles
3: Brush, of Hoboken, is the architect.
The monument will be of white granite
and Trenton brick. 1t will be erected
at the Five Points, the junction of
Freen, Warren, Pennington, Princeton
and Brunswick avenues, in the upper
part of the city, at which point the bat
tie began in the early morning of the
day after Christmas in 1776. The total
cost will probably reach 500, 900.

Another Lepcr Laundryman.

KEARNY, N. j., July e5.-The people
Of this place who have been wearing
clothes washed by Laundrymen Sam
Sing are suffering from nervous dread.
Inspector Saltonstall, Of the Hudson
county board of health, compelled Sam
to submit to an examination, as result
of which the Chinaman has been de.
clared leper. The fact that leprosy is
contagious disease is what is causing
so much uneasiness among Sam Sings
patrons. Sam Sing. it has been known
for some time is afflicted with disease
that has had the result of giving him a
peculiarly repulsive appearance. When
attention was first called to his ailment,
about two years ago, rival laundry
man circulated report that Sam was
leper.

HARRIsBuRG, July 25.-When Miss
Wagner, deputy factory inspector, pre-.
sented the monthly pay roll of the de.
partment at the State Treasurer's office
she was informed that no warrants
Issued by Chief Factory Inspector
Watchorn would be honored at pr esent.
Judge Simonton's decision that o person
rejected by the senate for certain
office cannot therefore be appointed to
that Office, has called in question the
legality of Mr.. Watchorn's right to the
title of state factory inspector. The
state treasurer will honor no more of
his warrants until some adjustment has
been reached with the attorney general.
1t is expected that conference will
be held Immediately upon the return of
Attorney General Hensel from Mt.
Gretna. The treasurer believes that
DR.. Waller is legally entitled to draw
school money, inasmuch as he has been
declared to be superintendent of public
instruction de facto If not de lure. He
is reluctant, however, to act contrary to
the expressed opinion of the attorney
general, and some compromise viii
probably be effected soon. One million
seven hundred thousand dollars of school
funds are now in the treasury, and
school finances are now In bad condi-
ton owing to the total lack of funds.
