GREATEST ENGINE OF WAR.

The battle ship Illinois was
launched at Norfolk, Virginia, Tues
day morning at 10 O'Clock. As the
big ship descended into the water,
she was christened by Miss Nancy
Letter, of Chicago.
The Illinois is said to be the most
powerful engine Of war ever con-
structed No ship af5at ID her equal,
she is greater than the Majestic Of
the British navy, with al armament
superior to all Cervare's lost feet.
She will carry heavier armcr and
heavier guns than any vessel N the
world Her main battery will con.
sist of four 13 inch breech loading
guns. Il 6 inch rapid fire guns, lG
s FOUNDER rapid fire guns. four l.
FOUNDER rapid fire guns, two Colt
guns, two field guns and four t0rpe-
do tubes Naval authorities say that
she can stand fourteen miles out
from any coast city in the world and
hurl destructive SHELLS into it.
If fighting alone all the vessels OF
Admiral Cervera's fleet, as II was
when afoat at Santiago, the Illinois
would discharge in double broad
side more steel projectiles, 10 weight
than fired by the combined Spanish
fleet. If in contest with such vessels
as Dewey fought at Manila, the
secondary battery of the Illinois
would discharge more missiles in
weight in one broadside than the
entire feet OF Montejo would fire.

Question Nour readers Wei r.
member that prior 10 1891 We had
no uniform system g text books IN
our schools, each district adopting
for Itself and paying a. that time
very much higher prices, IN some
cases about double what we are now
paying. The Missouri legislature Of
1891 passed the first text book law,
creating "leXt book commission.
whose duty 1t WAS to contract with
the publishing houses, al the lowest
prices, for books for the public
schools OF the state. This Law has
saved to the state thousands of dol
lars III the reduced price Of books,
notwithstanding it worked hard
ship on many at the time of the
exchange. The contracts, unfOrtun-
asely, only run for i've years, instead
of until otherwise provided by law
as the present contract does. Then
tbis is the first place TO iud fault.
When the last Legislature met these
contracts had expired aud without
new contracts the publishers would
dou btles3 have advanced their prices
to what they are selling at IL other
states where there Il no contract
price. This then was tue condition
that confronted the last legislature.
A number OF measures were offered,
the most important OF which were:
let. the one which became law, and
2nd, another which provided for the
compiling aui publishing a series OF
books by the state and furnished to
the people at actual cost. l. l. per
