A long list of surviving Union Gener-

the commander of the famous OLD Twelfth

Slocum was defeated In tho New York
Democratic State Convention, where he
WAS an aspirant for the Goyernorship
nomination, by treachery in the camp Of
the Brooklyn politicians. The next day
when l went to interview the General.
he had taken to his bed. rather from
physical fatigue than disappointment,

message to him he insisted upon seeing
me. l went up stairs and found him
looking pale and wan against the white
pillow case Mrs. Slocum sat by the

just as much concerned in my getting
the interview was after as il he hadn't
had single worriment upon his mind.
Only little before Washington
Bishops death, Gen. Slocum was chosen
ss the subject of one OF his experiments.
When the sturdy old soldier, MANNED in
his country's cause, mounted the stage.
there was a tremendous burst OF ap-
plause. Few men have so many friends
in their own neighborhood.

promoters discovered that they were
making a mistake in coddling the colon

Then the founders changed their policy

Since then they have got along better,

ing less than 1000 would be cashed at all

that amount would be cashed at New Or

seems to be a difference of opinion is as to

In this, as in all other matters, the people
are opposed to a Capitalization of power in
the hands Of a few officials, and that they

ty to regulate its W affairs. The county
superintendent, being nearer the people,
can more readily act in concert with their
wishes, and it seems to me that some plan

would be in harmony with the present
popular sentiment, and also tend to pre-
vent the formation of the blighting school
book monopoly" that now lies like a pail
upon the educational system Of some of
our older states.
Two of the bills introduced in our state
legislature, viz. senate bill No. Is and
house bill No. SO, provide for a uniform
system of free text books throughout the
state; but, like the churchman who con-
trlDuted a penny to the heather and then
subscribed ten dollars to pay the expense
OF sending it to them, the plan they pro-
pose would cost the taxpayers more in the
END than the school books would cost in
the beginning. These bills create a state
board of text books, consisting of four per-
sons, i'll addition to the state superintend-
enC, governor ana president of the state
university, who shall serve four years and
receive five dollars per day, when en-
ployed. and five cents mileage for travel,
ana "othcr necessary expenses" and whose
duties h be to select and adopt the text
BOOKS, maps and charts best adapted to the
use OF the common schools of the state.
L lind also, among the educational bills,
one designed largely to increase the salar-
les and mileage Of the county superintend-
ents.
Now, would it not be a wise and eco
nomlcal plan to permit the county super
l~ntendents who, by the terms of the school
law. "have charge of the school interests
OF their respective counties" by and with
the advice of the township school boards,
to select and adopt the text books best
adapted to the use of the schools under
their charge, and give to them the extra
or rather eXtraOrdinary-compensation.
the mileage and those mysterious allow
ances for "Other necessary expenses" that
those generous bills appropriate for the
support of the proposed state board of text
books.
The less cumbersome the machinery, the
less expensive, and, while the people de.
mand free text books for their children.
they are not anxious for the creation of
any more offices for the politicians. The
text books themselves, even at the present
eXOrbltant rates, would cost less than it
would for the taxpayers to indulge in the
expensive luxury of a state board of text
books. LINDA w, SLAUGHTER.

Regarding Free Text Books.

:ED. TRIBUNE: Never in the history of
this country have the chosen lawmakers
of the land shown so great consideration
for the poorer classes of people, or mani.
Tested SO sincere a desire to legislate for
the toiling many instead of the favored
few. This happy change in public affairs
has been brought about largely by the
farmers'alliance and knight of labor organ
izataons and by the educating process of
the journals devoted to their cause.
Among the Legislative measures designed
expressly for the poorer class-none meets
with more cordial approval than that of
furnishing free text books to the children
of common schools.
This measure meets with such universal
approval that it is useless to urge reasons
for its adoption-it being already con-
coded that the scarcity of money among
the farming and labvring classes from re-.
peated failures of crops and the hiph
prices heretofore exacted for necessary
school books makes the trial Of some
method of furnishing free text books i'm

the state or interfered with in any way BY
the police. Until the prohibitory law is
re-enacted the state has no authority to
prohibit the importation and use of intoXi-
cants.
Colonel Ball followed OH the same side.
He said the state had no right to interfere
in the original package business, and cited
the Kansas decisions to show that the
laws. to be valid. must be re .enacted.
Mr.. Pollock then argued in rebuttal, and
cited numerous authorities TO show that
the state has a right to prohibit, under it's
present laws, the original package bust
ness. He concluded by saying that he
hoped that a decision would soon be
reached, so that. if adverse to the state, the
Legislature could re-enact the prohibitory
law.
The decision of the court is awaited with
much interest.

Sir Philip Miller, the great English hor-

method to have cabbages good is to pro-
cure fresh seed from abroad every year,
for it is apt to degenerate in England in
a few years."
The above is a simple illustration of the
fact that the best seeds will rapidly de-
generate under unfavorable conditions.
The wise will take heed therefore, and
buy their seeds of d. M. Ferry & Co., De-
