THE SCHOOL BOOK OCTOPUS

INDIANA IN THE TRUST'S CLUTCHES. Van Antwerp, Braes the Cincinnati Millionaire., Have Tilings Their Own TVay AU Over the State Startling 'X nlformltj' of Text Hook. TriE Sentinel has obtained reports from the county superintendents of schools in eighty-four out of the ninety-two counties ia Indiana, showing the names of the publishing bouses which supply the text-book3 in the respective counties. The reports arc herewith presented ia a tabulated form, and they are commenced to the careful examination of xrjembers of the legislature and tbe people generally. They show that the scho jl-book trust irtually monopolizes the school-book business in Indiana. Publishing; houses like Harper & brothers, which have refused to join the trust, perm to have "no show" whatever with the rihcials who nre charged with the selection of text-books.

to Van Antwerp, Brags fe C. of Cincinnati, who hare made several millions of dollars out of their monopoly in these states, and who are running the office of state superintendent of Indiana schools, and who control the county superintendents, with very few exceptions. It will be seen that this great firm supplies readers in sixty-nine of the eighty-four counties reported, arithmetics in eighty-two out of the eiehty-four, grammars in eighty-one, geographies in sixty-nine, physiologies in forty-seven, histories in fifty-nine and spellers in seventy. The other trust houses nr allowed to sell a few books in seatteritsj localities, jut to "keep up appearances." but not enough to interfere with the Vun Antwerp monopoly. It is this outrageous monopoly that Supt. La Follette. who owes his nomination and election to Van Antwerp, Dragg fc Co., is laboring with the assistance of a large COrpS Of experienced lobbyists, practiced in the que of "ubstati.il arguments," and supported by several subsidized Newspapers to perpetuate in Indiana.

Instances of Long-lAved Eagles, Klephants, Camels, Whules and Chickens. (London Tid Bits. A German paper states that in Lapland an cu trie was shot and that around its neck it had a brsss chain, to which a little tin box was fastened. The box contained a slip of paper on winch was written in Danish: "Caught and set free again in 1712." The study of the longes-ity of animals is wanting in accuracy, but it does seem quite certain that the span öf lii'e of some few of the lower creatures is Much more extended than that of man. The Hindoos believe that an elephant lives to be ,!uo, and there seems to be several authentic oases noted by Kuropeans of these animals havin? arrived at the mature Age of 1'0. Camels are shorter lived, the ordinary breed li vintr forty years. Kecent zoologists state that the swifter race of camels are even horter lived. A hore at twenty is considered un old animal indeed, but he has been known to do some Kcrviee even when he was thirtylive, Oren are short lived, twenty years being eon-idered as about their limit of life. 1ojs rarely Jive beyond their fifteenth year. The tUn ie nlmiit fih must he taken with a great deal of (Incrimination. That of the lives of carp extending over hundreds of years rests on very poor authority. It is quite certain that numerous opecies of fidi, especially the salmon, are not Inn;' lived. When we hear, then, of trout fifty years old, we miht think that there were exceptions to the general rules governing the enliinoni.hc. The whale is said to live up to live hundred years, a certain bone structure giving a possible clew to his ae, but this does not rest on the nest authority. As to the birds, certain kinds do live very long. There are a crcnt many parrots, as will known in families ns the men and women composing them, who have lived fifty years and over and then been killed by an accident. There m ems to be good reasons to believe that a parrot in the south of France came to Marsedles when he was full trrown during the lirst empire, and is as hale and hearty and garrulous to-day as when he was contemporaneous with the I'm peror Napoleon Bonaparte. A chicken Anil lire from ten to twelve years. A story some time ago went the rounds of a 100-year-old goose. Though swans of seventy-five years old have been known.it is not likely that;'eese outJive them. As to the eagle, he i knowu to be long-lived, and sixty, eventy and even 100 years may bo found in the books as the limit of bis life. The present bird shot in Lapland, if the story is to be believed, had been captured ninety-one years before. As ha might have Leen of a certain age when taken, the account would make us believe he waa 1U0. a remarkable longevity lor aa eagle is possible, but on theotherhaud.it is q lite certain that the tin Box around this particular bird's neck would Lave rusted and Rone to pieces in ten years. He Mail at Mistake. Texas Si'lwjri.') A small, Jight-mahoguny-colored youth who goes by the name of Tea Iilossom was brought before a Texas justice of the peace, charged with stealing a pair of shoes from Mose .'scliamhurg's store. "Don't you know it was not right to take those shoes?" asked the justice. "Yea, sah; I knows I didn't take de right shoes. .My mudder done tole me dey wasn't Ie risjht shoes as soon as I fetched 'etn home. De high-priced ladies' shoes on de shelf was de right onea, but I couldn't reach 'em, sah." Information. San Franclco Chronicle. Her grandmother was so sick that the report got out that she was dead. A srm pathetic old gentleman met the child on the street. "And when is yonr grandmother to be buried, my dear?" he asked her. "Not, till she's dead, sir." They All Have It. Puek.l "I hear Farson Fntnp talking in the parlor." "No; that is our new minuter." "New minister! Why, it is the same old voice."

A BIG SATING TO PARENTS.

BOOKS PUBLISHED BY THE STATE. California Tries the Kxperlment With Gratifying Results What Has Been Accomplished iu That .State Facta Which Speak For Themselves. At the November election in 18?4 the people ot California, by au almost unanimous vote, amended sec. 7 of art. 14 of their state constitution to read as follows: AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION. Pection 7. The troTemor, superintendent of public instruction, an.l tho principals of state normal schools shall constitute the state board of education, and shall eorhpile or caue to be compiled, and adopt uniform series of text-books for ose in tho common schools throughout the state. The state board nur caue surh book, ivhca adopted, to be primed and published by the superintendent of state printing at the state printing orlic-e, and, when so printed and published, to le distributed and sold nt tho ot price of printing, publishing and distributing .the same. The t.-xt-books so adopted shall continue in nse not less than four years, and said state board shall perform such other duties as may be prt?scrite.l bv law. The legislaturu shall provide for aboard of education in each county in the ftf.te. The county superintendents and county boards of education shall have control of the examination of tea. hors and the trratuing of teachers' certilicatcs within their respective jurisdictions. The legislature, at its next session, after the adoption of this amendment, passed, and the governor approved, a bill providing for the compiling and printing of the books named therein, nnd appropriated $170,000 with which to purchase the plant and carry on the work until the next inetiins of the legislature. Of this amount $-'0,000 was set apart to be expended by the state board of education in compiling the text books, and $150oou to be expended by the state printer for the plant, materials and labor. This law proved defective in some respects, no adequate means having been provided for the distribution of the text books, and no provision having been made for producing additional books after the first appropriation should become exhausted, the first editions of the books sold and the money paid into the state treasury. These deficiencies were supplied by the succeeding legislature, and the California law, as it is now in operation, provides: 1. That the state board of education shall compile or cause to be compiled for, use in the common schools of the state, a series of school text books, comprising three readers, one speller, two arithmetics, one grammar, two geographies, one book of language lessons or elementary grammar, one history of the 1'nited States, and one physiology nnd hygiene, including a system of gymnastic exercises and special instruction as to the nature of alcoholic drinks and narcotics and their e fleet upon the human system. 2. That the state board of education shall employ well qualified persons to compile the text books before mentioned, and shall lix the remuneration for services thus rendered; provided, that if competent authors shall compile anyone or more works of the first order of excellence, and ot!or the same as a free gift to the people of the state, together with the copyright of the same, and the exclusive right to mauufacture and sell such works within the state of California, it shall be the duty of the board to accept such gift, and to expend no money for the purpose of compiling works relating to the subiect8 treated in the books thus donated. 3. That all the text books provided for shall be printed and bound at the state printingoffice, under the direction of the superintendent of state printing, all materials used thereiu to be purchased ot the lowest and best bidder after advertising for proposals. 4. That the state board of education shall secure copyrights to all the books that shall be compiled under the provisions of the act, and E rott et them against infringement. The state card shall also furnish designs for all cuts, engravings, etc., to be used in the books. 5. Whenever any book has been compiled and adopted the state board shall issue an order requiring the uniform use of such book in the schools, the order not to take fleet until the expiration of one year from the time of completion of the electrotype plates. tj. That all school books compiled by the 6tate shall be furnished to the public 6ehool children at the cost of printing, publishing an J distributing the same. The cost is to be ascertained and tixed by the Mate board on or before the 15th day of June of each school year. These are the main features of the law. Hooks can be ordered by the county superintendents of schools, principals of state normal schools and the secretary or clerk of any school district The cash is to accompany all orders. It is made the duty of county boards of supervisors to provide a revolving fund for the purpose of enabling the county school superintendents to purchase the text books; all moneys taken there from are replaced by tbe moneys received from the sale of the books to the pupils. Under these provisions, some of the most important of which date only from 187, the following named books of the series have been compiled, adopted by the state board of education, published and are now in use in the schools of California: One set of three readers, one speller and word analysis, one set of two arithmetics, one English grammar and one history of the L'nited States. The following nanieti books of the series are now in process of compilation: One elementary grammar or "language; lessons " one elementary geography and one physiology and hygiene. These books, together with a "comprehensive geography,1' not yet commenced, will complete the state list thus far provided for by law. Prof. Fred JI. Clark, principal of the hos Angeles high school, and a graduate of the t'nlifornia state university, is the author of the "History of the FniteJ States." lie was selected upon the strength of specimen chapters submitted by himself and a number of other persons for the inspection of the hoard of education. "It is but jiM to him," says the state superintendent of schools in his last report, "to say that his work has fully met my own expectations, received the approval of the board of education and the commendation of school officers and of the press." Mr. W. II. V. Kaymond, a leading educator of California, has been made editor-m-ehief of the entire series. J'rof. C. 1 1. Allen of the Btate university has oharire of the preparation of the Fnglish grammar und language lessons, and 1'rof. Ira Moore of the state normal school has supervision of the preparation of several other works in the series. The above information is derived from the last report of the state superintendent of schools, l'rof. Ira G. Iloitt. From this document the following extract is taken: Having hern one of the earliest advocates of a state series oi tost books, it has not only been my duty but my purposo and ple:iure to aid in iciTins the scheme a fair tri.it, and brincintj the scheme to a sui-cevdul I.ssue. Sinre some oi the books hare been issued and t.ne Into ne I find iu iny persons, who bin opposed to the nndertakin? at iirst, have now heroine convinced of its feasibility and economy. Jsorne of the books have been pronounced the In st of their kind, and I sin oi the opinion, judging from my observations In tho various schools rhich I hare visited, and fr in tho expressions of superintendents cid teachers at Institutes, that the ex perituent thus fur has fully met the expectations of lis most anlant lrien.lt, and t lint -the books themselves arc giving a gio.l hree of satisfaction. If thu books are as jfnod as others, or will answer the purpose ns well, then the question which mot concerns the parents is: Which will cost tho least? It may be . laitued, and must he admitted, that it costs Die state more to manufacture the books than it will cost a private publishing liou. The state pays better wages thnn the private iiibliher, and works lt-s help eiaht hours a day, while the rrivato publisher works his lixls. teo hours a day. Hut the consumer is interested not in the actual first cost of the books, b'lt in the cost to biiu. Since tho state charge no manufacturer's profit, no lobbcr's profit, and the retail dealer is allowed, by law, to charge, no more than it will cost the pupil to Lave the books sent to him by mail (the retail dealer making only the diiterenee between posture and freight l, it follows that the consumer, or pupil, pays tho private publisher, or his retail dealer, from ao to iii .er cent, more than he ii required to pay the stato for bis text liooks. . Here follows a comparative table showing the cost of the different text books printed by the state and of those published by privata firms which have been in use in California.

Now the question is whether the state books are inferior either in literary or mechanical execution to the books furnished by the private publishing houses. If they are noticeably so it is an argument in favor of the present system. There now lies on The Skntint.l table a set of California books, including a history, grammar, a first and second reader, a speller, a primary arithmetic, or "number lessons," and a higher arithmetic. ,I!y their side are a reader, a history, a grammar and a geography from the presses of Van Antwerp. Ilragg fc Co. Children Cry for

The California books, in point of workmanship, certainly average as well as, if not better than, those of Van Antwerp, Bragg fc Co. They are printed on good paper, from large, clear type, are well bound, and their maps, engravings and portraits are well executed. As to the comparative lit?rary merits of the two series it is not so easy to form a judgment without very thorough examination. The California history is certainly an admirable work, written in a clear, simple and easy style, with fullness of knowledge and a nice discrimination in the nse of materials, and seems to be in every way excellently adapted for the instruction of pupils in those things which it is most important for them to know about the history of their country. It contains 432 pages, bas a good topical index, copious (but without superfluity) references and notes, and other creditable features. It is but fair to say that the "Eclectic History" published by Van Antwerp, Bragg fe Co., and written by M. K. Thalheimer, is perhaps more complete and comprehensiye than the California history, but the latter is a very creditable work in every respect, and the scholar w ho has mastered its contents has laid a strong foundation of knowledge of American history. As to grammars, all are bad. but some are wore than others, and the California grammar seems to be fully equal to the Harvey grammar, although the only conclusive test of their respective merits must come from the experience of practical educators in their use. In the other California text books uo evidences appear of hasty preparation or superficial knowledge by the compilers. What appears from as full an examination of the California books as time will permit, and a comparison between them and the books now use in this state, is that the former are fairly up to the standard. No doubt there is room for improvement in them, but consider inc the short time that has elapsed since the California law went into eflect, and the excellent results thus far attained, there is no reason to doubt that the experiment will prove a complete success. California has certainly demonstrated that uo state need be at the mercy of the rapacious school book trust any longer tLan it chooses. The California plan has already saved the people of that state a vast sum of money, and seems destined to save them a good deal more in the future. The saving could undoubtedly be increased If the contracts for printing the books were let to private firms, as is proposed to be done in Indiana. Vords in Season. Ixijnnport Pharos. There is already a great school book lobby congregated at Indianapolis, the purpose of which is to prevent, if possible, any change that will lessen the robberies of the sjhool book monopolists. The school book mon poly is a regular devil-fish, the corrupting arms of which reach to every county in the 6tate. lias the legislature, backed by the governor of the state, the power to destroy it? It is already hinted that reform in this direction can not be accomplished at this session of the legislature. We ask the representatives in the legislature from this county to work for the destruction of this corrupting monopoly, even though they are compelled to go to the extreme of furnishing the children of the state free school books in order to accomplish it. Columbus Herald. TriE Sentinel is showing up the school book monopolies with much persistence. The legislature should subscribe for and read Til 2 Skntinel. It will find much of interest in its columns from day to day. THE BYRD BRIBERY BILL.

A Strong Argument ia Favor ot Its Passage. To the Lditor Sir: Now that tbe Andrews election bill bas passed the senate and seems almost certain to pass the house, I want to call attention to the necessity of fiasslng the election bribery bill Xo. 7, Introduced iu the senate by Senator Pyrd. The latter bill is designed as a substitute for the present criminal statute (Acts ISS.-, pp. 193-101) making vote-buying ' and selling a crime. All criminal statutes on tlut subject have proven a dead failure. Though th present statute cited alwve is an improvement on all previous statutes nn that subject Isvause it reduces the crime froia a felony, punishable by coDtinenient in the penitentiary, to a niisdcmcinor, pnnlshabli' by a line of not less than S20 nor more than Ssoo and disfranchisement and Incapacity to hold olRep, yet no prosecution, much less a conviciLn, has ever taken place under it. It s'aould therei'ofe be repealed and the 13yri bill substitnted. This bill is n4if, m addition to tho Andrews bill, to make ti.e remedy against election hriliery complete. It deals ux'clu.dveiy with visiting retribution on the vote-buyer, and makes it morally certain that he will be so visited. It simply renders the buyer liable to the. seller for ?50u and attorney's fees, whether he hires him to vote or not to vote; makes the process a warrant for his arrest and ' provi b s tb;d the defendant stand committed to the county fail until the judgment is paid or secure'!. It applies to many things that the Andrew bill or the Australian system cannot apply to, lo-wit: Hiring lloatcrs to vote or not vote, at any election held pursuant to law, or at any primary election or Convention of any political party at any time alter its passage. It also applies the same liability to the intimidation of voters by employers and all others aud all other tricks by whii h voters may be hindered eith r from voting their sentiments or expressing thcui peuding the election. The only protection the secret ballot can give the employe is to enable bita deceive his domineering employer and when he gets in behind the screen, vote as" ho pleases. This is not sufficient protection. The enijdoye must be protected in the open, honest, declaration of his principles even to his employer, while the employer dares not hinder, molest or make him afraid in so doing. This is fully accomplished by the Hyrd bill. It is also impossible, under the Australian svsteiu proper, which is the central idea of the Andrews bill, to prevent hiring voters not to vote. Tho floaters being about equally divided between the two parties, one party can, without tho Byrd bill, hire all the tlouters of the opposite party not to vote. That would accomplish the same thing as if half of them had been hired to vote the ticket of the I arty hiring them, which would he e.uxl to the direct purchase of one quarter of the whole floating vote to vote the ticket of the purchasing party. Puch purchasing nartv would lie compelled to "hold our llouters." as bu.iley says. That is the fact that Hudley would be buying or hiring democratic floaters Dot to vote ' would ailront tho republican half of the floaters if they were ollered no money, and they might take a notion, out of pure spi'e, to vote the democratic ticket. N, to prevent that, Mr. Ibidley paes the onlernlong the line aain "that Chaimun Huston will certainly furnish you the necessary funds to hold our floaters and get 'enough of the other kind, etc." And so they purchase the republican half of the floa'ers hont they can trust to go in behind the screen, under the Andrew bill, and vote republican tickets. That will enable republicans to buy or hire the republican h-.!f oi the floating vote to vote the republican ticket and hire the democratic not to vote at nil, notwithstanding the secret ballot of tho 'Andrew lull.. Th Hyrd bill admirably meets these Oitlicultus. and prevents these practica. The two bills, if pvsod iaf(, imr, will make tho remedy complete, but if the Hyrd bill is not passed the old tight anaint money will only he partially orevented. Indianapolis, Keb. 14. J. McCaar. THE STATE HOUSE GROUNDS. They Should He Improved nnd Ucautlfled. ns Soon ns Possible. To nut EniT0B-5.r.- tVhilo It is admitted that we have a fine stato capitol and that it is ruhstantially as well as tastefully furnished the prhle of the state as Is often remarked yet it stands, as it acre, in the center of an open fi Id, like tbo barn of a widow's neglected farm. The natural expectation of the publie, of course. Is that the legislature now In session will make am;ln provision for the imJiroveuient and ornamentation of the grounds, but I iave seen nothing in the proceedings thus far that indicated anything practical in that direction. Although it is said there has been a bill introduced . for the appointment of a board ef trustees to take ' charge of the management of the building, as well as outside property belonging to the state, and that gs.ooo or ?1o,(ho a named as a sum sufficient to improve the sot. n acres of ground connected with the statc-houso. That sum would oe a mere bagatelle. If the state could auord to build such a houso as she has, ha an surelr afford to make such surroundings as will t.e in keeping with the structure itself, and in keeping with the dignity of the state. The new capitol can never command the admiration it dcserTes until the grounds are appropriately fitted up in a manner suite.! to buildings of the kind, such as we see in other states, tor the credit of the state, our public Institutions for the care of the Insane, the deaf and the blind, have an attractive, park-like appearance, that gives the visitor pleasure rather than a shudder of repugnance or sorrow, for lie feels st once that tbe stricken Inmates that have such attractive homes must ho kindly and humanely cared for. Hut it is unnecessary to discuss the propriety or neccHsity of park or ornamental improvements of this kind to make a place complete by its surroundings, for no place can lie considered comfilcte or particularly attractive that has no front or lackground of trees to grace its general outline or mark its individuality. It would be a moid appropriate act on the part of the legislature to et apart tbe t20,onO not expended in the construction of the state-house, for the Improvement and ornamentation of the grounds. In addition tn what I have said, a fountain or two should 1 added, and a neaf and Inexpensive wirefence should be placed on the stone-coping to keep oir the lounger, that gather there to the disgust of those who pass py on the walks, as well as to keep the dogs oft of the lawn, which they are now usIdj as a play-ground. Hut whatever is done let it be done well, and at the same time with economy and good taste. I trust the matter will be placed in the hands of some person or persons of tate and skill and experience in laying .tl public and private grounds, with no jobs or ixiliticslnit. Let the plan of operations be carefully f.repared by a landscape artist of skill like Mr. Chisett of Crown Hill cemetery, or some other compePitcher's Castorla.

The upward movement in prices, which was noticed last week, has not been sustained, the general average for commodities heingaliout onehalf of 1 per ent. lower than a week atro. The output of pig iron lias diminished. The furnaces In blast Feb. 1 were producing 117,111 tons weekly, against 102,270 Jan. 1, decline of 3' per cent. The rail business is stagnating; enly three mills out of fourteen are now running. Flate and tank Iron trade is dull and in structur.il iron the business is slow. There is cutting in sales of pig iron by sonic northern, as well as southern, furnaces and purchases are (teuerally confined to Immediate needs. The local tra.le is depressed bv over-pro duction and cutting of rates. The copper market has been weaker abroad, and conflicting rumois about refusal of Ameriran mines to contract with the syndicate are current. Sales of lead have reached l,4's, tons, with prices dt c.ining to S;i.o. The tin market is demoralized, with sales at t-1.2. Wheat has advanced 1 cent lor the week. Atlantic exports were, in tivc weeks ending l ub. ", only S 12, 4-ht buhels, against H,7tV4,:i:t last year, and of flour W.,7ii'i barrel, against l.iiWJ last year. These, compared with tho exports of 10,11"), 'S'-'t bushels of corn durine the same week, ajrainst 1.72s,it.7 last year, shows how the foreign trade has biK-n a fleeted bv the speculation, which hold prices of wheat st Chicago far aliove price at the seaboard, ('"rn I advanced but half a cent, with sales of tt.OOO.UOJ bushels, and oats are unchanged.

Cotton, with sales of :75.000 bales, and collee with sales of ii7,IHH bas, have each declined 'cent, and pork is SO cents lower, with Lird 27)j cents lover per'iw pounds. The dry poods operations, as in othr branches o business, are to some extent retarded by the close scrutiny of credits which the slowness of collections in many quarters naturally prompt, bat the reKrts from the interior iu that respeet are. tld week, rather more favorable than before. Clearintrs through banks last week were 10.1 er cent, larger than a year airo otitsido of New York, only seven rities reportinc; any decrease, of which San Francisco, Minneapolis arid St. l'nul were most important.
