WORK OF THE rEs,ioN BUREAU

There has been a noticeable Increase of
work done by the Pension Bureau for the
last three weeks. For that ending Feb. 0
the original allowances were LOG, aud
the increases, 7S4, with a total OF 2,4O5
certificates issued. For the week ending
Feb. 16, the originals were 957, the in
crcases, 757, and the total, 2,233J. For
the week ending Feb. 30 the originals;
were I02, the increases, ass, and the
total, 1852. This rate puts the Bureau
considerably ahead OF the grayeyards, bur
it will probably lose this advantage in the
vacation for Inauguration.

THE unxpected has happened in Ore
gon, and ex-senator John II. Mitchell has
been elected Senator. He is a very able
man, and an illustration of the vicissi-
tudes of politics. He was first elected as
Senator in 1873, but failed to get a re-
election, and was out of the Senate for
six years. Then he came in again, and
served two terms, but was again dropped.
Now he comes back for n fourth term,
which, when completed, will cover a
period of "a years in the Senate and of

VICIOUS SCHOOL HISTORIES.

Last year Gen. IL. V. BOyntOn was ap-
pointed a member of the District of CO.
lumbia Board of Education, and promptly
made it his business to acquaint himself
with the histories of the United States
furnished to the scholars, and which have
been used for years past without ques-
ton. he has startled the people of Wash
lngton with an announcement of his dis
royeries of the meretricious stuff which is
being furnished to the children as his
tory" He says that four out Of the seven
books which he examined are crowded
with such gross errors and miSstatcmcnts
that there should be no doubt or hesita-
ton about Immediately throwing them out
and keeping them out forever, or at least
until their faults are radically amended.
The four he specifies are:
Barnes's Brief History of the United
States. BY Joel Dorman Steele, Ph. D.,
Montgomery's Leading Facts in Ameri-
can History. BY d. II. Montgomery.
Johnston's History. OF the, United States
for Schools. By Alexander Johnston,
LII. D., late professor in Princeton Col
lege. Revised by Winthrop More Daniels,
NJ. A, professor in Princeton College.
McMaster's School History of the
United States. By John Bach McMastcr,
professor OF American History IL the Uni
yersity of Pennsylvania.
Gen. Boynton gives a number of ex-
tracts from the books TO demonstrate the
correctness of his conclusions, and it is
amazing that in this day, when the facts
os the war of the rebellion, particularly,
are SO recent that they are within the
knowledge of millions yet living, such fall
lacious rubbish should be gravely taught
the rising generation as history.
The people of Washington are aroused,
and probably Gen. Boynton's protest will
have the same healtbful effect all over
the country, and lead TO a general over
hauling of the school-books, and their
purgation of whatever is prejudicious 10
the truth of history.
The Grand Army OF the Republic has
been engaged in the same work, and in
each of the more recent National En-
campments there has been action taken
TO awaken public attention to this i'm
portant matter. There is a standing
Committee on School Histories" consist
ing OF such able comrades as A. 0. Marsh,
Winchester, Ind: NJ. NJ. Dickinson. War
rensburg, n. Y; W. NJ. Olin, Boston,
Mass; Thos. G. Sample, Allegheny, Pa;
d. C. Miner, Chicago, ILL.,; and Il. 3.
Gray, Madison, Wis, who have devoted
Il great deal OF time and painstaling in
vestigation Of the matter. The reports,
particularly, Of Comrade Marsh to the
Philadelphia Encampment, and of Com
rade Miner to the Chicago Encampment,
were of very high order, and attracted
widespread attention.

delegates. representing the employees
of all the mines, mills and street rail |
roads in the eastern and northern part
of the state.
Despite the ultimatum OF the fire.
men none of the coal companies
seemed disposed to give in, and this
morning saw the shutting down OF
nearly every colllery in the anthracite
regions. President Mullahay yesterday
gave up all hope of an amicahle set

was nothing to do this morning but 10
let the strike proceed.
The Sheldon Axle Works of this city
employing 1900 men, anticipated TO-
days strike by posting last might in
their shops notices to the effect that
work would be suspended until further
notice.

Six hundred firemen I'm the Wyoming
region refused TO go to work this morn.

of the colAeries will have to suspend
