Ian unwise provision. Agents of the
various text book concerns are flock.
ing into the districts and pulling the
wires to bring about local acceptance
of the law. In some places they have
succeeded, and it will be strange If
they do not succeeded everywhere.
The conRtry papers express the fear
that every district which accepts will
be put to the expense of purchasing
an entirely new outfit, discarding ev-
erything now In use there. This is an
outcome which might well have been
foreseen. Text book houses do not
operate for fun. Their managers are
shrewd enough to make business, and
this law has afforded them magnifi-
cent opening.
1t will generally do the taxpayers
little good to complain. The agents
will simply convince the county SUI
perintendents that the text books in
use are inferior, and soon majority
of the taxpayers will be persuaded in
to the same belief, and the game is
won.
The movement was paternalism
pure and simple, and most unwlse in
any event. as this paper pointed out
before the law was adopted. Any par
ent who is able to send his
children to the district school is
able to purchase the necessary text
books, and there is no reason why
taxpayers whose children are grown.
or who have no children, should con-
tribute to the purchase of large
stock of books for the use of other
peoples children, and have no chill |
dren at all The parents who have
children at school will probably dis
cover that under this law their contri-
buttons to text books are much great
er than under the old way.-St. Paul

Allan Steamers Overdue.

A despatch from Halifax says IS days
ago the Allan steamer HISTORIAN sailed
from Glasgow for Halifax and Philadel-
phia, and up to the present time has not
been reported, and as she is now eight
days overdue some anxiety is beginning
to be felt for her. It is thought BY some
that she has broken down while battling
with the heavy gales which have ragged
on the Atlantic the past few weeks. 1t
gers, if any, she has on board, but it is
thought she has some. The Monaghan.
of the same line, is two days overdue at
this port, having sailed from Liverpool
February 8, with the weekly mails and
400 passengers.
