TALKED To DEATH.

The policy of Legislative bodies
almost universally pursued, of de-
ferring the most important matters
until the last hours of the session.
has again proven disastrous to a large
portion of this country. This time
it was the "River and Harbor Bill',
that met its fate at the hands of the
"perpetual"' talker, and Senator Car
ter, OF Montana, is the gentleman who
has brought himself into disfavor.
among his Southern colleagues es-
Pecially, by committing the diabol-
ical act. Senator Carter was among
those members Of Congress who
ViciOuSly attacked the bill, merely
because it did not carry an appro-
pliatiOn for his State; and when he
found an opportunity to kill it with
q thirteen-hOur speech he eagerly
grasped the opportunity.
The whole country is more or less
affected by the failure of the bill to
pass, hence the press at large is ex-
coriating the Montana statesman" :"
Being from the "wild and wooly
west" he doubtless enjoys this kind
. of nOtoriety, though, unless it be
that some of his influential cOnstitu-
ents can see through the maze of
selfshness, the great harm that has
been done and. make him feel their
displeasure by the withdrawal of fu-
ture political support.
Commenting on the failure of this
measure, the Morning News, smart
ing under great disappointment, fol-
lows its usual line of conservatism in
the following comments: ''In future,
everybody having an interest in the
rivers and harbors of the country
will feel that Senator Carter is an
enemy to public improvements. 1t
may be that no part of the approp-
riations carried by the bill was to be
amended in Montana, and that that
was the reason why he opposed the
bill, or at least one Of the reasons.p
sAnother reason was, probably,
that some Of the Republican lead

however, it would be unjust to
charge the Republican tariff with the
deficit. But the war with Spain did
not add to the expenditures for
1893, for the fiscal year 1898 ended
soon after it was declared and all
appropriations for the year had al
ready been made. Last year the
deficit had changed to a surplus Of
$79,527 ,0G", but nothing else could
have been expected Of a tariff i'm
posed to meet the added expenses of
war, after the war was ended. The
excess of revenue over expenditures
in 1867 was $l33,O9l,335, though
the country was only about. half as
pOpnl"uS hen as in 1900, and no,
nearly half as wealthy. 1t is strange
that the war tariff of 1898 did not
produce a larger surplus after the
war had erdpl."

Educational Sc arrn mt.

The question of text books is Ont
that is constantly coming up. DIN,
class of literature are the words al
Scripture truer than of school books
viz: ''Of making many books there /,
no end" The Country is fooied
with an almost infinite variety OF
text books on every conceivable sub,
ject. just as school has settled
down to the use of a set of books
with the determination to make no
change, then new and improved edi-
tiOns of these same books are issued
which render the old practically use
less.
What is to be done to prevent the
useless expense now demanded by
the present methods of authors and
publishers aideI and abetted often
10y the school authorities?
TO certain extent there is no
remedy. Books must be had for the
purpose of education. There must
be some outlay, and as the public
school system furnishes tree eduea-
ton, parents must expect to pay
something for the books used.
Some states furnish books free,
some counties, I believe, in our own
state have adopted this plan, but it
Is only a shifting of the necessary
expense upon others and necessitates
increased taxation to furnish the
the means for this outlay which in
the majority of cases could be borne
by the individuals.
Better to let each furnish their
own and in the case of the very Door
supply them either by public charity
or at the expense of the State.
There seems no good reason for fur
nishing free text books except that
of expense and the tendency is in
this direction of pauperizing the in
dividual when too much is furnished
free. Again, some books must be
changed often, the history of the
world Is addedto from year to year

The last Florida Legislature did a

governor Jennings and the other

tacks, however, Governor Jennings
mas preserved a dignifed silence
conscious of his own rectirude and

that the scuriIous attacks came from
only a small portion Of the State
press which reflected only the
opinions of a few disappointed

Considering the fact that the
convicts have been heretofore let for
the sum of $2l 1000, it may seem very
remarkable to the public in general
that the Board announces that "no

But when we are assured
that as high as $3.50 per capita

be said, to have been groping in the
