ACCOUNTS from Cuba attest the natu-
raj desire OF men to be preserved from
the three worst evils that can befall
mankind-war, pestilence and famine,
but the greatest of these is the former,

necessary consequences. And yet the

bills, the people of this country are tax

is, if possible, even more oppressive, as
it imposes tax upon marriage certifi-

THE SCHOOL BOOKS.

The State library building, in Rich
mond, was overrun yesterday with the
managers of book publishing concerns
who had assembled to watch the pro-
ceedings of the State board of educa-
ton in reference to the school books.
The question has long been the subject
of discussion, and excites the deepest
interest among all classes.
The board, composed of the Governor,
Acknowledgement and Superintendent
of Public Instruction, spent the greater
part of their session in seeing rep
resentatives of the publishers, and
four and q half hours was thus con-
sumed. The long list of those offering
for sale their educational wares was
taken alphabetically, and it will be
some days before the matter is con-
cluded.
The biggest fight is between the
American Book Company and the Uni
versity Publishing Company, which be-
tween them furnish nearly ell of the
books now in use. Senator B. B. Mum
ford, acted as counsel for the former,
and Senator q. D. Flood for CHM & Co.,
who have waged vigorous war on the
American Book Company.
Mr. Mumford, the opening speaker
made strong plea for his clients, and
presented petition signed by the school
authorities of over 50 out OF the 100
counties in theState urging the board net
to make any change except in histories.
Az D D Mn ford oraota5 q cancotion
while advocating the claims of the
American Book Company, by saying
that if the board decided against that
company and shut out their
books, they (the American Book Com
pspy) might ruin the democratic party
of Virginia. His meaning was various
ly interpreted, but in the light of mat
tiers already ventilated in connection
with this company in Virginia, it is
supposed that other developments are
about to be unveiled. Major Norman
v Randolph, representing the Cham
Der Of Commerce, will to-day reply to
Mr.. Mumford's speech. 1t is said he
has documentary evidence that will
greatly add to the interest in the sem
sational announcement Of Mr.. Num-
ford.
Manager ]. A. Green denied charge
that the University Publishing Com
pany was controlled by the American
Company, and stated that so far as he
knew not man was stakeholder in
both corporations. Other persons
heard were Mr. Hoben, for Dulany &
Co., of Baltimore; Mr.. Louis Bell, for
the ]. P. Bell Company, of Lynchbure;
W. B. Sim, fer the Columbia Book
Company, of Philadelphia W, =.
Walker, jr., for CHM & Co., of Boston.
A vigorous fight is being made to in
duce the board to adopt as far as practi'
cable books published by Virginia
houses. The State Federation of Labor,
through committee consisting of
Messts. Kizer and Perkins, of Norfolk,
and E. @. Folkes, of Richmond, have
issued an address strongly urging the
adoption of books made by Virginia
labor. The chances are that very few
changes will be made.

Happily for the United States, Spain
is poor in purse and without good credit.
1t has been her habit to go into debt

exact the hardest terms The United
States would have been in about the
same condition if Congress had been
allowed to have its way. Grover Cleve-
