The school Book Trust


CHIcAao.-[Special. THE recent de-
cision Of the school authorities, Of the
state of Washington, and by which the
Rand McNally biographies are ordered
used In all public schools Of the state,
is regarded in publishing circles as
vital blow at the schoolbook trust,
especially as it follows upon the heels
OF similar action by the school author
tiles of New York, Brooklyn, Jersey
City, Harrisburg and Springfield
Mass. A year ago it looked to the
trade as though the school-book
trust had firmly intrenched ilself and
had secured monopoly in this coun-
try. School boards and county edu-
cation commissioners, however, have
not proved as amendsble to its in
fluence as had been calculated upon,
anal the result is that within that
period the text books of the Rand
McNally corporation, which has been
the most vigorous and active opponent
Of the trust, have been officially In.
troduced into over ten thousand
Schools. east, west and south.

Msssags Giving Reasons why He vetoeG
The River and Harbor Bin.
WAsHINaroN-[Special. Tho presi.
dent has sent to the house message
vetoing the river and harbor bill. In
it he points ont that there are over
400 items Of appropriation, providing
for the immediate expenditure Of near.
" "a, O00,O GOO, In addition to the appro.
priation of over $4,000. 600 already fav.
orably considered for similar purposes
In another bill. Continuing the presi.
dent says:
"A more startling feature Of the bill
Is Its authorization Of contracts for
river and harbor work. amounting to
more than o62O00,OO0. Though the
payments on these contracts In most
cases are 90 distributed that they are
to b met BY future appropriations,
count are included In the direct up.
preparations above mentioned. OF
the remainder nearly e20yO00,OO fall
due during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1896, and amounts somewhat less
In years Immediately succeeding. A
few contracts Of like character, auth
orized under pre- vious statutes, are
still outstanding, and to meet the pay
ments on these more than $4,000
must be appropriated In the lmmedi-
ate future. II, therefore, this bill be-
comes law, the obligations which will
b imposed on the government, to.
gether with tho appropriations fol
immediate expenditure on account Of
rivers, harbors, will amount to about
e80,O00,O00.
"Nor IL this all. The bill directs
numerous surveys and examinations
which contemplate new work and fur.
ther contracts and portend largely ia
increase expenditures and obligations.
There are no grounds for hope In the
face Of the persistent growing de-
mands that the aggregate appropria.
tions for smaller schemes, not covered
BY contract, will be reduced or even
remain stationary, for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1893. Such appro
priati0ns, with installments on con
tracts, which will fall due that year
can haadly bs less than e30O 00, 600, and
may reasonably be apprehended as Z
prevalent tendency toward increased
expenditures. This art and conceal
ment which postponed payments a.
ford extraya0anCe, will increase the
burdens chargeable to this account II
succeeding years. In view Of the OBJ
legation imposed upon me BY the con
