Charles M. Schwab, president
of the steel trust, says: eff l
were a workman, as have been,
I would not join a labor union.
It absorbs a mans individuality,
puts them all on a level, and pre-
vents superior ability from rising.

SOUTHERN SCHOOL BOOKS.

textbooks have generally been
unfair to the South. Because of
this Partially there arose in the
South during the decade before
the War a strong demand for
Southern text-books, written by
Southern writer's. The Rev. C.
K. Marshall, of Vicksburg, Miss,
one of the ablest and most ener-
getic educators Of that day, wrote
in 1856, advocating an appropria-
ton by each State to be used in
the encouragement of the writing
and printing of home textbooks.
That advice holds good to-day.
In this connection, the New
York World says: elm some
Washington bookstores can still
be bought the school history of
the United States written by Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens, eight
years after the war, for Southern
hool-children.
Stephens School History of the
United States is still used largely,
though not as much as it once
was.
1t is remarkably impartial, con-
sidering that it was written by the
Vice-President of the Confeder-
acy and soon after the war.
There is another class of school
histories on sale in the South
which is rapidly disappearing.
We refer to those pretended his
tories which have been worked off
in localities where teachers and
school boards have failed to per-
form their duty intelligently and
faithfully. They are grossly par
tisan, recklessly false and bitterly
sectional.
During the past year many of
these fraudulent books have been
kicked out of Southern schools
and we trust that their complete
and final determination in the
South will soon be accomplished,
The South does not ask fo1
school histories which shall be
partisan in her favor, but she
does ask, nay, she demands, that
the histories taught in her schools
shall not contain lies about the
causes or the conduct of the civil
war;"
On this timely subject, the New
Orleans Picayune of a recent
date says:
''There is scarcely a State il
the entire South which has no
sent out complaints loud and long
against the sectionalism taught il
the books used in their schools
Sometimes the expressions of in.
furious reflection and character.
ization were open and unreserved
In others, they were yelled ano
covert; but in every case it was
sought to place the Southern peo'
pie in their history, in their socia
life, in their culture, and in thei
morals, in aposition of inferiorit.
when comparison was made will
people and conditions in the Nor
thern States.''

The Oregon Short line and Union Pacific, says the Herald. held we'll aloof on Chicago and Missouri river west-bound business until yester- day, when shippers over that system were informed that they would be taken care of." no matter what might come up. With the Union Pacific ill the fray, all the roads are now mixed up in it and west-bound business from the Atlantic seaboard is being moved in many instances at 90 per cent Of the regular tariff rates.
 Business from Chicago and the Mis- souri river was taken yesterday at 3o to B per cent reduction on regular tariff. The trouble originated about q month ago. when the Mallory and Morgan steamship lines became en- gagged in active competition on shlp- ments from New York via New Or leans and Galveston to points in the Rocky mountain territory.

the Christian; if Elkdom fails, it is
the fault of the Elk, not of the
