The following is from the now
busy pen of Mr.. Watterson, and
every word OF it is the living,
breathing truth, and more's the
shame that it is true;
The truth is the newspaper of
the period needs to reform itself
from the ground up. What 1t
gains in enterprise hy its present
system of news gathering it more
than loses in character. The sharp
rivalry which everywhere exists
tends to push the detective princi-
pie beyond the border lines of right
and duty, into the dark passages oi
mere surmise aud SANDER In
order TO mako a case and to bag his
scoop, the reckless reporter FORCES
his facts. the irresponsible city
editor passes them along, the short
sighted managing editor, too lazy or
too indifferent to investigate, pats
his imprint upon them, and then,
wv the further aid of the chump
telegriphcr, they are heraldcd IA,
and wide. In y day or two, and
after the harm has been wrought
the correction, which does not
correct, makes its coy appearance
aud the SNUG varlets who have
done the deed proceed to coucocr
another sensation to crafty apuhli,
which, under this sort fcvil teach
ing, Is craving mo'e aud |i-s
prurient in lis tastes, aud corrupt

Free yext Books.

AS the question of furnishing
textbooks free to pupils In The
public schools, or. rather, of loan
ing the pupils books without
charge. has been raised, some ref.
erence to the experience Of CON.
muni,ies in which the plan has
been tried will be Instructive.
From the report of State Super.
intendant of Public Instruction of
Wisconsin for the year ending
Jane 80, 1892. we learn that re.
ports show that, during the school
year ending June 80, 1890, III
school districts furnished free
books; In 1894 973 districts did so,
and in the year 1892 the nnmber
of districts furnishing free books
had Increased to l,0iS. In 1890
four cities, having city Superin.
tendents, loaned free books to the
pupils; in 1891 three more cities
adopted the policy. and in 1892
five more. In Others the loan OF
free books is confined to certain
lower grades.
Ii is cited as n noteworthy fact
that. after trial of the new sys.
TEN few cities and no districts
have been willing 10 60 back to
the old methods of securing books
Those who have tried the free
hook plan claim Tor it the follow
ing merits:
- Frat. Because boards Of ela
cation buy in larger quantities
they can buy more cheaply and
TINS the plan saves money.
Second. The books are at hant
IN the districts when school com
mences and TINS il saves time.
Third. IL makes the schools FREE
to the poorest children aud re
moves q frequent hindrauce tC
their attendance,
Fourth. II draws pupils wh'
have "a few spare weeks. bat are
deferred from attending schoo
for .ha. short time by the cost o
Textbooks.
Fifth. 1t saves the wastage FIRE
Quently caused 10y changes of'eXi
books when families remove frou
one district TO another.
Sixth. Because the teachers ar
Irresponsible for the hooks. IL give
them an opportunity TO insist tina

them.
These are certainly great merits
and, in face of them. prejudice
against the system are rapidly DIV

The practice of though'lessly
and almost unfortunately sign.
ing petitions is getting to be one
Of the most embarrassing evils of
the day.
As rule, the average citizen is
entirely too free with the use OF
his name when it comes to the
seemingly small matter Of attach.
ing IL TO petition.
The petition business is being
over.done all over the country.
Ii is a well.known fact that
many men will sign petition sim
ply because some friend or clever
'.e?S,. asks them TO do 1t, while
there are others who, rather than
come out with o firm and manly
NO, will attach their names TO pa.
pers that actually belle their real
wishes or sentiments.
The practice of circulating petit.
tons as o means Of indorsing ap.
plicants for place or Of obtaining
an expression Of public sentiments
has reached the point where it is
so badly abused that petitions are
10 longer entitled to the consider
alton that would attach to them if
the abuses to which we have re.
ferred werenot so generally known
to exist.
No man ought to sign n petition,
i! matters not by whom it is pre-.
sented, unless IL expresses his
sentiments or he cOnscientiously
endorses the cause or the individ.
nal 10 whose interest ii is being

The Long Legislature.

And so our long Legislature is
to adjourn on July 3rd. Both
Houses have so voted, and moth.
ing can prevent, except the Legis.
la,ure shall reconsider. 1t has
been the longest session ever held
in this State, aud perhaps in any
other state, and has cost the peO.
pie an immense sum Of money,
aud for which the Legislature has
been roundly abused from one
end of the State to the other, and
it will take much explaining upon
the part Of individual members TO
relieve their records Of this vide y !. (.
spead censure. The COURIER
has not INDUCED in this adverse
criticism, because whilst the SEES
sion has been unprecedently long,
the duties devolved upon II have
been Unprecedented. Our whole
statute laws have been to make
over again. and how well or badly
this has been done can only be
fairly judged by their practical
operation. The new Constitution,
for which, we, the people, voted
primarily, caused this general re.
vision Of our State laws; aud in
SO far as We, the people forced
this work upon the present Legs.
lature We ought to admit the
responsibility. To be sure the
work might have been done In
less time and cost, but the Legis.
lature was travelling new roads,
with no decision Of the Courts
before them as guide posts, aud
this brought about difference Of
opinions aud constracti0us, and
hence a long session.
But a sine die adjaprnpent is
in sight, aud the whole State will
rejoice. Their work should have
a practical test at least wo years,
and the people would act wisely In
November to elect members
pledged to this view.
