WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

Z lOn OuI heRuliT correspondents.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May IA. 1897.
Again Cuba! And this time
business is meant, not mere bum
combe on the part of one branch
of the government. The presi-
dent and congress will act to-
gether. Certain official cornmun-
ications from Consul General Lee
have been received by Secretary
Sherman and discussed by Presi-
dent Mckinley and the members
of the senate finance committee,
which seem to make it incumbent
upon this go Iernment to act, and
it may do it, although President
Mckinley would have preferred
to have had the tariff bill out of
the way firsI. Whether the action
will be confined to recognizing
the belligerency of the Cubans,
in accordance with Senator Nor
gan's resolution, or will go further
and recognize their independence,
is a question. Mr.. Calhoun's re-
port will probably settle it.
Arrangements are being made for
a mass meeting of Cuban sympa-
thizers III Wa shington Sunday.
1t is not certain that the
amended tariff bill will be taken
up on the 18th, although Senator
Aldrich says he will call it up
then in accordance with the or
iginal program There has been
a delay in furnishing senators
with a comparative statement
concerning the numerous amend
ments and that it is likely to delay
the taking up of the bill. The
sugar schedule of the bill is dead,
"a majority of senators having
declared against it. Many other
changes will loe made in the bill
before it gets through the senate,
not to mention the slashing when
the bill goes OF the conference
committee.
An interesting debate III which
political lines were ignored pre-
ceded the refusal of the house by
a vote of 85 to 50 to concur in the
senate amendment to the sundry
,sciy.il bill appropriating $4,000
for the Improvement of the en-

be expected, and they require at
least a serious answer from the
managers of the company.
| Mr.. Gates charges also that
the company has used all its in
Huence in school elections to Sc
cure the election of members fa-
yorable to its publications.
MIR. Gates charges also that
teachers are terrorized, by threat
of loss of position, into recon-
mending the publications of the
American Book company
The company was organized
six years ago, and Mr.. Gates says
1T has control of from Is to 80 per
cent of the school book business
of the country, and that the state
ment that there are $50 competing
firms in the country is wholly
false. Mr. Gates says there are
only two or three competing COM
panies, and that these do a tri-
fling business as compared with
the big book trust. Mr.. Gates
charges also that the company
works off out-of-date books on
communities that will stand it, at
from two to three times their
cost, and that it refuses to put
out books which handle without
gloves social questions which the
trust does not want handled. The
writer speaks of a 40o-page book
on sociology which devotes just
eleven lines to the subject of
trusts, defending and excusing
them.
The Argus-Leader, of course,
has no knowledge on this subject,
but reproduces the digest of the
pamphlet in order to give its
readers Mr.. Gates side of the
story. There may be another
side. When the Argus-Leader
secures the other side, the same
shall be printed. Certain it is,
there is enough of pith in Mr.,
Gates arraignment to justify the
trust in paying attention to it.

for the position of Postmaster at
Watertown. While at Redfield,
and during his residence at

THE COMPANY MUST ANS WEIR.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader A
decided stir in edaca tional circles
has been made by the publication
of little pamphlet, by George A.
Gates, president of Iowa college,
IN answer to challenge issued
by the American Book company.
1.-THE school book trust---as to it's
methods. The pamphlet bears
the title ga Foe to American
Schools" and in the course of it
the writer very severely arraigns
the methods of the trust.
The first and and most explicit
charge is that of bribery. The
author cites twelve specific cases,
with locations by states, but with
out dates or names. He tells of
the photograph Of a $4,000 check
which went to member of a
board of education In Washing
ton; of a $4,000 check cashed in
Missouri, with evidences that the
money was not paid for a legiti-
mate purpose; Of bribery ii. money,
or its equivalent, of various SUI
perintendents, and members Of
school boards in various states;
the charges are as direct as could

wanted-6n Eneiish Bible.

Even assuming that every one can read
the revised version If he wishes, the problem
of an Ineligible translation is far from
being solved. 1t contains such utterly OBJ
solete words as armament" Genesis |. 81,
"daysman" (Job TX, 33), 'bruit" Nahum
Ill, 19), divers" Matthew iv, 24), "mete'
(Matthew vii. 81, halt" (Matthew xviii,
81, "husbandman" (Matthew xxi, 33)
These words of course, like all others, are
perfectly Ineligible when we have been
specially taught their meaning But a
reader who had received fair English
education without lessons in the Bible
would not have the slightest inkiing of
what they signify But the result is likely
to be more mischievous when we pass from
words which suggest no meaning ut all to
those which suggest an erroneous one.
Among these are "desire" I'll Chronicles
xxi, 20), prevent Psalms xxi, 8, and
cxix, 14S). "fulhll" (Matthew v, ~ doc
tor" (Luke II, 46), mansions" (John xiv,
81, consent" (Acts viii, u, curious
(Acts xix, 19), "quick" (Acts X, 42),
quicken" (Romans viii, H. and Co.

Correct WAY to Put on Court Plaster.

Did you ever notice the way physician
prepares the court plaster for woundS
First fold the piece lengthwise directly
through the middle. The plaster should
be considerably larger than the wound, to
keep well over the edges. Then slash the
plaster lengthwise nearly TO the edge.
Straighten the court plaster out fiat and
cut the slashed pieces at opposite ends.
Place the straight edges of the court plaster
to the flesh on either side of the wound,
bringing the strips across the wound.
Moisten them and, taking strip from each
side, draw them together gently, closing
the cut and stick the plaster in place.
Continue with all the strips, and the cut
will be dressed In a manner to insure a
perfect healing and as we'll as any doctor
could do it.-St Louis Post Dispatch.
