HARD TIMES AT PANAMA. The unfortunate consequences of the Panama canal smash are becoming more marked every day, says a dispatch, and the deplorable condition of affairs has

but one outlet, and that by emigration. The commissioner sent by the Jamaican

government has already sent away 4,000 people, and he has issued 3,000 tickets

more, and these will leave by earliest steamers. The people are congregated at the different depots with their tickets in their hands, but without food, and almost without shelter, and a tropical wet season is in its full energy. After all the distressed foreigners shall have been removed, there will still be much suffering and want here suffering and want of a character which cannot be even ameliorated until the resumption of work in January next shall have put money in circulation and inspired confidence.

This whole amount will be necessary to meet the demands of pensioners, and it may be that there will be a deficiency. Hon. Samuel J.

office a lot had been awarded to the

occupant of the rear end, who had a building erected. An old man lived in a tent on the front end, and when- the marshals tore his tent down and carried

him off, a mob of l;500 men came to his rescue. They drove the marshals away

and released a man from prison who

The State Board of Education met at

for supplying the pupils of Indiana

scheoUi with tea:t booVa at lower prices,

representatives of publishing houses

were present, including a stenographer

who noted every word that was uttered. The first bid opened was from the

Wherewithal Manufacturing and Pub

lishing Co., of Philadelphia, offering a special chart system at a discount of 50

per ce&t. from the regular price. No

bond accompanied its bid. Harper Brothers submitted a price list of their books and offered to supply them

at a discount of 25 per cent, from regular prices. The proposition was not in the

required form. J..D. Brant, of Grandview, Ind., offered the MS. of "the best

grammar in the State" for $500 each "for the elementary and complete forms."

Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., did not bid, but submitted an affidavit in which they affirmed that they "are not directly or indirectly connected with any other publishing house, or party to any compact, syndicate or any other scheme." The proposal which most nearly complied with the requirements was that of A. S. Barnes & Co., New York, and with the bid they sent a set of sample books, which they are willing to supply, subject to the law, if the form of the bond is modified so tbat they will not be held liable for a technical default, provided further that they will not be called upon to furnish more books than the schools will actually absorb." Continuing, they said, "As the case stands we might be required to pave the State with text books for which we might receive no money, as we read the law." Their bids on readers and elementary geography were made conditional upon the acceptance

of their proposal as au entirety. Their

bid was as follows: Speller 6c; 1st

reader. 10c; 2d, 15c; 3d, 2oe; 4tb, 30c;

5th, 40c; intermediate arithmetic. 25c;

W. Williams offered their system of rapid penmanship. The commissioners decided that none of the bids were in accordance with the requirements of the law and new bids will be solicited.

ROBBERS WRECK A TRAiV. The weBt-bound passenger train on the St. LouiB and San Franciweo railroad was wrecked three miles west of Sullivan, Mo., at 11:25 Friday night. Not a passenger escaped unhurt, and fortyfive are known to have beeu seriously injured, though no deaths are yet reported. The train was running at a high rate ol speed, when suddenly, and without warning, the track gave way and the locomotive, baggage-car and five coaches went over x he embankmentt The train men and the only slightly injured at once set to work to prevent the additional horror of tire, in which they succeeded, and then turned their attention to the more unfortunately injured, and in a very short time forty-live passengers, all badly hurt, had been released from the debris. A temporary hospital was improvised at Sullivan and the most seriously injured were taken there, while others were taken to St. Louis on the relief train which was hurried to the fccene of the disaster. When the accident occurred (he train was traveling at a high rate of speed, and most of the passengers had already gone to sleep, while the few remaining awake were about to do so. There is a curve in the road about three miles weBt of Sullivan, and when this point was reached a sudden jolt and jar was felt all over the tram. Everybody felt it, and the people in the rear cars could hear the forward coaches rattling and rumbling over the ties and the crashing noise of cars being demolished. A creek is croBsed by the road at that point, and there is a steep embankment, thirty feet high. Most of the passengers thought the train was going through the bridge, and a feeling of horror chilled their blood. In an instant all the coaches, except the two sleeping cars bad been thrown from the rails. People were thrown about in the cars in all directions, and some of " them were thrown from the coaches and down the embankment. On the train was a large body of physicians returning from Springfield, where the State medical convention is being held, and they rendered valuable assistance in caring for. the injured. Among the latter was Dr. Russell, mentioned in the, official leport, who received very serious hurts. He had both ears taken off and was otherwise injured eo badly that he could not be brought home amd is now at Sullivan.

THE WORST WRECK, PHYSICALLY Of any Man this Country ever saw, CURED."

J aokson, Mich., October, 1885. Rheumatic Syrup Co Gentlemen: In November, 1884, I was cut in the wrist by a broken bottle, from which I suffered extreme pain. 1 called a doctor who pronounced it sciatic rheumatism. He eave me a

morphine injection in my right shoulder, whicn resulted in paralyzing my right side. I was kept under tho influence of morphine until last March.

My. right lee and arm had become badiv

withered and my joints were so still

that there was but little action in them.

About that time I discontinued the use of morphine. About six weeks ago I first heard of your Rheumatic Svrup

and was advised to try it. And here

let me impress this fact upon vour

mind, that my rignt arm said leg were

shrunken, paralyzed, and witnered so much that I could hardly walk or swing along,, and that but little, And attended with great effort and pain. Since 1 have been taking your Syrup I have left off the use of crutcnes entirely, and only use a cane, and for the past few days I often forget it and walk without any aid. To say that I am happy, and that it has greatly benefited me, but poorly expresses my idea of your Rheumatic Syrup. Yours truly, O. D. DEN10. Dealer in General Groceries, corner Trail and Mechanic Streets. Mr. O. B. Denio is a man well known in this community, and was probably the worst wreck physically, of any man this country ever saw. He was paralyzed from rheumatic poison, . and no one ever expected he would get well. He is. well, and it is simply marvelous. The above statement made by him is true, and may be fully relied upon. I am truly yours, , FRANK L. SMITH, Ex-member State Legislature, and Proprietor Hurd House, Jackson, Mich. Shun idleness; it is the rust that at

taches itself to the most brilliant metals.

There will be, hereafter, a better understanding, a more healthy condition of public sentiment. With the origin of the agitation we have nothing to do. Suffice it to say that the buoTancy of spirit and temper of criticism that they have characterized a half-dozen rapidly exploded and early forgotten agitations directed itself to the publication of school books with rare fury it was useless for any one to protest or express an opinion. Nothing less than an "official investigation," full and genuine, would answer the case. It was fortunate, therefore, that the legislative commission recently appointed by the Senate and the House of Ohio to investigate trusts, I visited Cincinnati for the purpose of summoning a large number of witnesses, publishers, booksellers, agents, and others, who were examined under oath as to the alleged "school -book trust." Full reports of the testimony were published in the city papers. As this is more than a local issue, and as it is the first official utterance upon a matter regarding which there has been much heedless talk, we give the result in detail: It was proved by the sworn testimony that, there is not now and never has been, any "school book trust," or any "pooling of issues," or anything else in the nature of a trust, or any arrangement to lessen competition in prices. But there is, however, a "School Book Publishers' Association," organized and sustained solely for the ; purpose of bringing the business of introducing books under wholesome regulations and proper restrictions, having reference only to the operations . of traveling agents and resulting in the best interests of the public. It was proved that there is not now, and never has been, any combination among publishers for the purpose of maintaining,or"keeping up, "or in any manner controlling, or tending to control the prices; but on the contrary, its avowed object is to "cheapen the price of school books," and that such: has been the result, every house, member of the association, being free to make their prices and terms as low as they please, change them as often as they please, reduce them as much as they please, and Bell their books as cheaply as they can afford. It was proved there there is not now, and never has been, as alleged, a division of territory among publishers, such as assigning one State, or a portion of a State, to one firm, and another to another; but that on the contrary, all publishers are at perfect liberty to comnete for the patronage in any State or county where competition is not prohibited by law, and that the only reason why the publications of certain houses are more largely used in one section of the' country, while those ol other houses sre more largely used in other sections, is the natural result of choice in selection, local preference, and the natural desire for uniformity. It was proved that there is not now, and never has beeif, as alleged, anv such thing as "school book monopoly11 in any State, county or territory, except where such "monopoly" has been forced upon communities by un whole some laws creating such monopoly; but that on the contrary, with these exceptions, every State, county, and city is open alike to the competition of all school book publishers whenever they desire to submit their publication! upon their merits, together with their most liberal terms. Boards of education are at liberty at ail times, and have the privilege of selecting, according to thenown choice, from all the great number of series, and can be supplied at the very lowest exchange introduction, wholesale or contract prices, and upon the most favorable terms afforded to any 8tate, county or city. It was provfed thatBince the organization of the "School Book Publishers' Association" the evils resulting from the sharp competition among rival publishers, such as Btrife and disagreement among boards of education and factions in communities, have been almost entirely obviated, and at the same time

the prices of scnool dooks materially reduced. For instance, that the retail prices of school books have in most places been lessened fully 20 per cent., and where they are sold at the publishers' net contract prices, from 83J to 40 ner cent, and that these contract prices m - . e i l

are lower man tne prices oi any oookb published by State appropriation at the expense of tax payers. This will do much toward calling a halt in the injudicious attempts of legislatures to set up a book publishing establishment of their own, supplying, at public expense, that which private enterprise has done much better and at lower rates. The educational sentiment, so far as we know it, is most decidedly opposed to any step backward in educational progress, such as seems inevitable under the machine-like way of making text-books by the State.. ..It is not out of regard to the publishers, great as has been their service to the cstuBe of education by their alertness in embodving in text-book from every advance in methods of instruction; every latest fact in science, history, nature, and philosophy, but otit of regard to the cause of education, which means the best good of the country in every respect. It would be practically impossible for any man to do as good, independent, progressive work for the State seeking economy through monopoly as for a publishing house pushed to the utmost generosity by competition.

The American school-book is recognized throughout the world as a model of good taste and beauty, because competition has led publishers to command the highest skill and the beat thought, not of one State or country, but of the world. m v-"i-'- V, The educational influence of these text-books is felt in every s home . into vrhich they enter. For these reasons we hold that the school publishers should be considered as essential auxiliaries in the promotion of the highest usefulness of the public schools, and while they engage in their work from a business Btand-point, they deserve to be regarded as helpers in the advancement of: education, and to be treated like other honorable business men.
