1t has been truly said that no battle

than our own. All this, however, re-
lates to a generation ago. The dead
we mourn are off duty forever. They
have kept their watch. Today it is
with the living, and not with the

heroes Of the republic worthily kept
watch on the walls, and now the In

State Uniformity.

A good many republican members
Of the last Legislature, and campaigns
ers and party workers at this time
critiOise the law providing for
uniform system OF textbooks In the
schools Of Kansas The law has been
denounced az a "populist MEASURE
but here is what Governor Morrill,
said about state uniformity in his in.
augural message:
1.-THE question Of state uniformity
Of textbooks is an important one,
and should receive your attention.
As il now is there is not even county
uniformity. Indeed, in many Of our
counties che textbooks change With
the school district lines. In aorns
counties there are i've or ten differ
emit kinds Of textbooks used in the
public schools. A family moving
from one district 10 another is there
by needlessly put to great expense.
The result Is that in the aggregate
the people Of the state sxpend many
thousand dollars for which they
never receive any adequate return,
which would be saved to the people
il We had uniformity Of textbooks.
This is all the more important be-
cause this burden falls usually upon
those who are the least able to bear
it. The farm tenant who always
changes his residence from year to
year, or the laborer, who, seeking
employment, must move from one
city to another, is almost invariably
compelled to buy a new set Of books
for his children. This is imposing
upon him an unjust burden and COM
polling him to expend quite a large
amount Of money uselessly, because
the books which he Is compelled to
dispense with are just as valuable
and useful for the instruction Of his
children, az Che new ones which he
is compelled to buy. There is no
valid argument against the system OF
state uniformity, and there are many
arguments for it, and where il has
been tried it has proven very Advan-
taQeous."- State Journal.

II propose to talk plain English,
and il anything else was expected /

Let ma ask again, upon what
hope did our fathers buildf Love Of
Liberty, supported by intelligence
and virtue among the people. They
encouraged religion rs essential to
the well being Of the people. They
established a syV,tem Of universal edu.
cation in OrdV that our people might
become intelligent. Thus they pro-
vidod for intelligence to know what
to do, al d religious sanction to COM

THAT SHAKEUP
At the Government Building Has Two Sides to It--What Janitor Boyd
 Has to Say About It.

The shake up at the government build ing Monday among the civil service en- ployes created no little gossip yesterday, and State Herald representative be- gan an investigation to see if there were not some cause leading up to the dis misssals other than that published in the State Herald of yesterday.
 EX-Janitor Boyd was seen but said he did not care to discuss the ma tier; that had he given up the job several months ago he would have been better off T will say, however" continued MT. Boyd, that you did not publish the full story. knew the inspector was in the city and talked with him. I also told him 1 had been sick couple of weeks and had left the cleaning up of the building, especial ly the upstairs, to my assistant, eel ored man, and was satisfied that he would not find things in as good shape as they ought to be- but had he arrived few days later he would have found things all right. l referred him to Maj. Randall, the internal revenue collector and custodian of the building, for infor- maticn as to the general condition in which the building was kept. But the inspector did not seek out Major Ran dall for information. He selected Night Watchman Davis, colored, instead, and have learned that 1t was on his informas tioD as to the general manner In which inc Building was looked after that his re- port was made to headquarters which re- suited in our dismissal. The inspector visited Davis at his home before inspect ing the building, and I have 1t reliably that Davis now wears a handsome suit of clothes in payment for the informa- tion he furnished. Davis it will be re- membered by some. was at one time route agent running out of Louisville, but lost his job for cause and was given the place he now holds for the purpose for which he is now being used. His re- cord is not very savory as the public and the office-holders will all find out to their sorrow sooner or later"
 Do you think it was political deal?" put in the reporter. t,6 M
 "Of course 1t was. And. mind you no honorable republican is going to get the job. It will either be given to negro or some sassy white man. I may be mis- taken, but you watch out for the appoint ments ard zee if am not near the mark.'' { Mr. Boyd is democrat and was ap- pointed janitor prior to Major Randall's assuming the office of internal revenue collector and while Major Randall Is really the custodian, of the building, the looking after same and keeping it in pro per condition is the duty of the janitor.
