THE State Senate has substitute ed for
the House bill regulating the purchase
of text books for the public schools, a
provision that the present books be
continued but authorizes the State
Board of Education to supplement the
list for any particular district when
the commissioners request it. This is
, q step backward and it is not the first
time the wise and dignified members
Of the "upper branch" have been guilty
of making clam-like progress. Uni
f0rmity in text books is one of the
essentials of any system. The older
teachers know the evils of micellane-
GUS authors in The school room. The
most grave and senior Senators seem
to see in their minds eye The shadow
of the ten thousand dollar loss in the
text books accounts under the Stockley
administration There is no danger of
another. Tie men Governor Marvil
will associate with himself and Secre-
tary of State tmithers, will be fully
competent to pass upon the text books
to be used and the House should "stand
to their guns" Concessions are good
only when there is reason for them
and when the reason is good one.
Why the substitute?

Why should the good people of
this State wait until the Republicans
have majority in the General Assem-
bly, before they ask for needed public
improvements? In 1889 The DelaN are
Hospital at Farnhurst was purchased,
and that purchase alone prevented the
building of new and creditabIe State
House. Two sessions of the General
Assembly have passed and there
was no demand apparently for public
improvements, but now the ''Republi-
cans are again in" they are eompli-
mented (?) with proposition 10 build a
State Workhouse at cost Of two
hundred thousand dollars. Are Re-
publicans more liberal, less economical,
with the public monies that these
appeals come only to them as major
ity, or are the majorities and appeals
only coincidents? We do not know.

The Eoery Euening says that Mayor
Shortlidge ''made mistake" in not
re-appointing Mr.. Gawthrop as mem
ber of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment. That opinion will confirm
many in the belief that the Mayor made
no mistake. Following the Erery
Euening's argument there would be no
rotation in office, but an office-holding
class would be created, which is
English, you know" and suits the E.
E., but does not meet the American
idea.

BLoDY CUT mrs THROAT.
Climbed an Air SHAFT and was Found Bath
Ing His wound In snow the Roof

Otto Blody, os years old. boarded with John
Pahnke on the third floor OF 1,Tl2 Second
avenue. Until six months ago he was in the
house painting business with his brother
Adolph. The firm failed, and the brothers
saved nothing from the wreck. The failure so
affected Otto that his mind became unbalanced.
His halucination was that his brother had
cheated him and had profted by the failure.
Yesterday afternoon he left the house and did
not return until about o'clock. Going into the
kitchen hc asked Mrs. Pahnke for something to
eat. After preparing something for him she
went into an adjoining room.
In a short time she heard peculiar noise in
the kitchen, like the sound OF loud wheeling.
When she went back she found Blody with his
head resting upon the table and blood flowing
from wound in his neck.
She screamed. and picking up hatchet
that was on the floor, Blody rushed at Mrs.
Pahnke, threatening to brain her.
The frightened woman fled from the room,
slamming the door behind her The door had q
spring latch, which locked IL from the outside
as 1t closed.
Blody, finding that he was locked in. proceed
ed to break nearly everything in the room. He
finally smashed the panels of the door with the
hatchot. The door still barring his exit. he
made for window leading to the air shaft.
Opening this he got out. and in some unac-
countable way he climbed up the shaft to the
floor above. and into storeroom in the apart
ment OF John Shay.
Once in the storeroom Blody was like bull in
china shop. He smashed right and left, COM
pletely wreCking every thing In the room. When
there was nothing more left for him to smash.
Blody tried the shaft again, and through 1t
climbed up one more story to the roof
BY this time everybody in the building was
nearly crazy as Blody. Some ran out into
the street. shouting at the tops Of their voices
and attracting the attention of passers-by.
In q short time several hundred people had
collected on the sidewalk and they saw the
lunatic running along. to and fro. on the very
edge OF the cornice. One woman In the crowd,
after looking at the lunatic in his perilous po-
sition, tainted away.
the crowd, increasing every moment, finally
was seen by Policemen Riley and Mcmahon OF
the East Eighty eighth street station, and they
came up double quick.
Learning the cause of the crowd, they made
their way to the roof through the skyllght in
smashed. along with the dishes in Mrs. Bleith's
kitchen. on his way up. The policeman found
the lunatic sitting on the roof, bathing the
wound in his neck with snow.
the cornice again. Policeman Riley drew his
revolver and attracted the mans attention by
threatening to shoot him.
This gave Policeman Mcmahon an oppor-
and throw him down. Policeman Riley. in the
mean time. had pulled down a piece OF clothes
