NO TIME TO SWAP HORSES.
The school book question is the most
important one before the people of Ore
gon today ; but if we can judge of pub
lic eentinient by the expression thereof,
3 made through the columns of the
newspapers, and we know of no better
measure, the question ia already as good
as settled. Our exchange list contains
at least one-half of all the papers pub
lished in the state, and covers all parts
and sections of the state. As our young
democratic friend in Portland said here
at the meeting of the democratic clubs
last winter, "From the snow-capped
summits of the Siskiyous to the smiling
bosom of the grand Columbia." For
the past two months we have carefully
noted the editorial expression of all of
them on this question. That editorial
expression ha9 also been backed up by
hundreds of communications from teach
ers, school officers and parents interest
ed . in the snbject. and it is practically
unanimous. We feel safe in saying,
therefore, that the eentiment of the
etate is also unanimous, and that senti
ment is against any material change in
the school books. With regard to the
grammars in use, there is some differ
ence of opinion, some sensible argu
ments being made as to the adopting of
one system of grammar, instead of us
ing one kind for one grade and another
for a higher grade.
Some six weeks ago, in common with
our contemporaries, we expressed our
opinion on the matter and invited a
discussion of the subject in the columns
of Thb Chronicle, and especially in
vited the opinions of those who thought
otherwise than we did. Up to date no
one has expressed dissatisfaction with
the opinion therein advanced. We
have been using the present system of
i . . ,
ujuaa lur a iiuuiucr ui years, nuu uic
fact that the makers of some other series
of, books have suddenly discovered that
their beoks are better, is at least capa
ble of being thought not entirely disin

burden on hundreds of parents whose
resources are already taxed to the ut
most to keep their children comfortably
clad, fed and in school. The richest
man, unfortunately, does not generally
raise the largest family, but the reverse
of that proposition is true, and those
who have the least worldly goods are
most richly endowed , with, pledges of
affection, as though a bounteous, but in
judicious Nature would countei -balance
the niggardliness of Fortune by giving
more generously of all she had to give.
Thus in changing school books the
heaviest tax is thrown upon the poorest
persons.
The interests of the parents, of the
children,, and therefore of the state, all
demand that for the present, at least,
the school books be left as they are.
This is the sentiment of the newspapers
of the state, therefore, as we haye said,
it is fair to presume it is the sentiment
of the readers of those papers, for, after
all, the press is but the mirror that re
flects the opinions and sentiments of
the public. We have no doubt that
when the superintendents vote on the
question that vote will be practically
unanimous in favor of retaining the
present system.
MUST BE A MISTAKE.
A dispatch of the 8th says :
The text of the Connecticut supreme
court's opinion ordering a re-trial of Dr.
J. E. Lee, after acquittal by a jury for
-moraer, me nrst record ot toe kind in
the state, is given out today. Its main
argument is the point that the old Eng
lish common law was so cruel that judges
then wisely held that an accused person
after a jury acquittal, could not be put
in jeopardy a second time for the same
offense ; but now that the old law baa
been relaxed, the criminal ought not to
Fv npfif. hv fnlrtior nrapliro am1
be thwarted by errors of judicial ruling.
, The court of ffve judges was unani
mous in the opinion. The opinion was
written by Judge Hammersley.
It does not seem posssible that the
above dispatch can be true. If so the
sooner those judges can be superseded
by others with more common sense,
and less legal learning, the better for
the people of the state, bnce that gate
la opened there would be no end to liti
gation, no safety to individuals, and in a
short time no regard for the law. A
man once arrested for a crime could be
kept at the pleasure of the judge whom
he Is brought ( before, and t though, ac
quitted, could.be re-tried until finally a
jury might be found, to convict him.
Lawyers would revel in fees, and coun
ties would be swamped with court ex
And now comes the report that Mr.
and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt have made
up. These people, unhappily married,
have been washing the family linen in
public for some time, and the fact that
they have an immense amount ot money
is the only thing that makes their mari
tal woes, in the eyes of the news mong
ers of the East, of sufficient importance
to burden the telegraph wires and the
columns of the daily papers with. Now
that they have kissed and made up, let
us hope that their bickering be not
again inflicted upon the public. - Many
a better man had a sharper tongued
wife, many a better woman a worse hus
band ; therefore, as far as their individ
uality is concerned, their case is not an
unusual one, and as their dollars cannot
weep, although money talks, we see no
occasion for further parading their in-
felicitieu. Give them and the public a
rest.
The West and the South are a unit in
demanding the building of the Nicara
gua canal by the government. It will
be strange indeed if they do not get
what they ask. The legislation of this
country for years has been more favora
ble to the eastern states than any others,
and it is now time that that East con
cede something to the balance of the
country. If jit does not do so, it may
find itself short of friends when it needs
them most.
