TUESDAY'S CONTEST.
At tliis writing we are not pre

Democrats have cnouqh electoral votes
Assured if they have New York, but the
returns from that state are so inconi

conclusive opinion We have never lost
faith in the ability of Governor Cleve
land to carry New York, and we honest
ly think ho has done so The best figur
ing that our Republican friend can do
would give Blaine about 1000 majority,
hut there are. 251 precincts to hear from.
With New Jersey, Connecticut and Ntw
York, we have 51 votes, which, added
to the assured States give us 201, or

To the Editors of the Columbian :.
The" publishers of Bancroft's Readers
Are plru-ing thosebooksheforc the Coun
ty Superintendents of Oregon and ask
ing their adoption in place of the Inde
pendent Readers in use during the past
hix voir?. That the public may know
what is proposed, and what value lies
in thr proposal, we desire to invoke the
"kindly oHiccs of the Columbian in plac
ing the same before theiu.
1. Tiik Educational Advantages- A
comparison of the relative merits of the
boohs as school readers cannot well be
made in a new-reaper article, where the
books are not present to be compared.
Without entering into such comparison,
it wjil be. recognized by every teacher
and intelligent patron that the impetus
jivea to the study of reading, and the
interest awakened in it by the introduc
tion into the schools of reading matter
with bright new illustrations cannot
mi .1
help iemg great, inis new interest anu
enthusiasm will also communicate itself
to other studies. No cno doubts these
propositions. As bearirg on the ques
tion of the adaptation ot the Indepen
dent Readers to present methods of in
struction it should be stated, also, that
the publishers of that series have issued
an tntiiely new serif s ithin & yea
based cn methods quite opposite to those
which obtain in the old books. The in
ference cannot be avoided that tiie se
ries lias lost the confidence of the old
creat bodv of teachers.
2. The Financial Gain. This will
appear (I) i)t the cheaper retail price of
the Bancroft series after the books are
ncc introduced.

So. I o
By a comparison jf retai prices of
Bancroft's Readers with those now in
use it will be seen that Bancroft's are
1.00 cheaper per set of 5 books, or 20
cents per copy, or 26j percent. This is
veil worth saying.
The financial gain will also appear (2)
i the gain at the tint of exchange. At
this point comes in the objector and
. nays :
" But what arc we going to do with
mr old books. We can't afford 'to throw
them all away'aud get new ones."
The publishers were prepared for this
objection, because it is not a new one.
But they do not meet it as it has lieen
met bv other publishers on former occa
sions, heedless of the interests and
vishes of the public. On the contrary
the public interest has beeu consulted as
wc II as the publisher's interest, and the
objection is generously met by a propo
sition which not only calls for no sacri
tice of any reader now in -use, but on
the contrary, when any such. reader can
lie no longer used by its owner it will lie
'nccef ted in payment of the book next
required. The hardships which the pub
lic has heretofore experienced in a
change, aiises from the following fiiets:
1st. That Only the old reader of a
particular grade was received for a new
reader of the sitae grade ; that is, a First
Reader for a First Reader, a Second
Reader for a Second Reader etc.
2nd. That at the end of three months
this mild extortion was replaced by a
prompt advance to full prices for all
books purchased, the old books remain
ing in the hands of the pupil, counting
for absolutly nothing.
Bancroft Jfc Co. present no forcing
process of this kind. There proposition
dilTors from the above in both particu
lars. 1st. When school opens after July
1885, all children who have finished
their old readers may exchange them
for the new higher reader that must be
bought in any event, and save j of the
usual price. This saying considerably
more than offsets in any family, any oc
casional old book which a younger child
could take. Figure it out and see.
2nd. All children who have not fin
ished their old readers, at the close of
the preceding year, can give them in
payment for the higher book which they
need when the lower is finished in six
months or in twelvt months or eighteen
months or any other time when they
need the higher book.
When they get these higher books for
hte first time in this way the prices
will be for second reader 15c, instead of
50, third reader 25c, instead ef 75,
for fourth reader 30c, instead of 01, for
fifth reader 35c, instead of $1.25.
On this proposition it is impossible
for any one to figure out any expendi
ture occasioned by the change. There
is none. So confident are the publish
ers of this that they are ready to furnish
any family with a complete set of their
elegant new readers, where a fair and
full figuring does not show aain to re
suits .o such family from the change. .
Moreover, the new readers, are all,
from first to fifth," bouud in cloth, with
out extra charge. A first or second
reader bourd in cloth will last twice as
long as the usual binding such bind
ing as is employed on the present series.
But in addition to this the Indepen
dent series has a sixth reader which is
used in many schools increasing the cost
$1.50. We have given the prices at
which the Independent Readers have
been sold. If these prices are reduced
when the publishers solicit a new eon
tract, it will be because our competition
has forced them to it, but they have not,
up to thi 3 time, been reduced in Oregon.
,It may be of interest to the public, how
ever, to know that the publishers of the
Independent readers offered them to Lhe
Board of Washicgtoa Territory on the
17lh of last July at 30c a set cheaper
than this. Why they were not reduced
to the people of Oregon at the same
time so that they "could avail themselves
of the reduction during the present
year, it is not tor the publisher of Ban
croft's readers to explain.
" We ask of the public the careful
consideration of the above proposition.
We think that the bugbear of extra
" cost" in making a change, is put to
death. We " have made the statement
as fairly a we know how to make it.
We ask only that it should not be re
jected wjthout investigation and investi
gation is inevitable acceptance.

TIIE HTACHICA TRAGEDY.
The interest in the murder of the
Rafierty-Fritz-Raymond families, in the
lluachuca'tnountains, continues unabat
ed. A representative of the Citizen,
called oa upon Hon. A. V. Lomeli, the
Mexican Consul at Tucson, who stated
that he did not believe,, the crime was
committed by Mexican citizens. He
says, if they had contemplated revenge
that the Mexicans would have retaliatd
within a few days ; that they would not
have waited so long. Moreover, the
Consul said that he had received trust
worthy information, a few days ago,
that the Mexican people were entirely
satisfied with the efforts that were be
ing made by the American people to ar
rest and punish tho men who hung Qui
nones
It is a fact well known to the Mexi
can people that another person, and not
Rafierty, ii generally believed to be the
man that instigated the murder of the
Mexican, boy. Two other persons, liv
ing in Huachueas, were suspected by the
Mexicans, as being more guilty than
RatFerty. If the Mexicans therefore
had sought revenge, the person so sus
pected would have been the first object
of their retaliation.
Another point was made by a gentle
men who was in the Consul's oliice du
ring the interview, namely, that all of
the theories that this horrible ciime was
committed by Mexicans, are traceable
directly to the men who hung Quinones,
or to the'r close f ersonal friends. For
instance, only one person on the ground
saw the small foolpiints of unshod po
nies, although a Urge number of people
were present. One of the suspected par
ties is the man who reported to the Co
chise papers the fact that the people in
the vicinity believe the crime was the
bloody work of Mexicans. The fact is,
all the circumstances of this brutal crime
indicate that it was the work of the
men who hanged Quinones, and who
were determined to exterminate the only
witnesses to their crimes, namely, Jim
RafTerty and Mr. and Mrs. Fritz, For
instance: The pockets of RafTerty and
Mr. and Mr. Fritz were rilled and the
trunks and drawers in the house were
broken open, but Raymond's pockets
were not examined, and $10.40 was
fouiul on his person. Why were not his
pockets rilled ? Simply because the
murderers were not primarily after plun
der. Their mission was to destroy wit
nesses and all written evidence of their
previous crime, if an' such existed ; and
for this reason, after killing RuffVrty
and the Fricx's who had promised to tes
tifiy on behalf of the state, an examina
tion was made of their efi'ects, so that
no proof of the former crime might af
terward be found on their persons or
about their premises. But Raymond
had no evidence about him to criminate
them, therefore his clothing was not dis
turbed.
The meiiAwho murdered the RafTerty
Fritz and Raymond families are playing
the old game ef stop thief. It is easy
to create a sensation against the Mexi
cans, especially in Cochise county. If
they have committed the atrocious crime
it is hoped the government of the Uni
ted St3tes will take measures to have
the guilty parties punished ; but for the
peace of our country, and to rid it of the
devils who did this deed, if it wa.j done
by Americans, it is hoped that the au
thorities will give due attention to the
matter.
About three days before the Republi
can primary election for delegates, Mr
Jatne'3 RalTerty came to this city and
called upon the Mexican Consul, Mr.
Lomeli. He said he could and would
testify before the proper authorities
who the murderers of Quinones were,
because they were at his house the morn
ing the boy was hanged lie said he
was afraid to disclose th names of the
parties till the authorities were ready to
act.
Mr. Lomeli saw Sheriff Paul about
the niuider of Quinones. The sheriif
asked him whether the crime was com
mitted in Pima or Co,-hise counties.
Mr. Lomeli replied that Mr. RalTerty
thought it. was in Cochise. The sheriff
of Cochise county, however, believed ic
was committed in Pima county ; and
while Mr. RalTerty was waiting for seme
law officer to arrest the criminals, they
murdered him and thereby destroyed
the most material witness for the state.
The murder of Quinones has. been con
sidered by some persons in the Huacnu
'cas as a meritorious act. They have
done more than everything else to in
cense the Mexicans. If Raflerty was
killed by Mexicans these people are re
sponsible for it to a great degree. Bat
the evidence shows that the murdered
persons were ki'led by som ; one who
had been mingling wita t.lieai. Saiely,.
Mexicans could not have approached
the house without being suspected and
preparations for defense made, RalTerty
testiiies that he was shot at from am
bushseveral times, presumably by Mex
icans. More likely these shots were
fired by the murderers of Quinones, who
did not want to murder RalTerty, but
run him out of the country for their own
protection.
A careful examination of all the facts
confirms the? first suspicion of the Citi
zen, that the murder was not the work
of Mexicans, but was the desperate act
of men who found it necessary to kill
everybody on Rallerty's ranch for their
own protection And it required quick
work, for the murderers of Quinones
knew that the law officers were then on
their way to arrest theu and subpena
RalTerty as a witness. The RafTerty
family had to be killed that day or it
would be too late, and poor Raymond
fell a victim simply because he happened
to be on the ranch at the time

TIIE WORLD OF AGRICULTURE.
The Agricultural World, one of
the lvst, if not the best, farm papers of
its class, is maki ng a great success of he
plan inuguraated by its editor a few
years ago. This plan is nothing less than
the giving of exhaustive articles by the
best writers on agriculture in all the
countries of the world. The articles from
the diiFerent States and Territories of
our own country are particularly enter
taining and instructive. Judge Par
rish's articles on " The Farmer's relation
to Law" are alone worth the prho of the
paper. Judge Parrish, who is one of
the ablest Judges and lecturers in the
West, will soon leave for the South,
with the view of supplying the paper
with a series of articles oa the agricultu
ral features of tha. section. This jour
ual also has a fine household department
which makes it particularly r.ttractive to
lady readers. The price of the Agri
cultural World (now in its tenth year)
is oifly One l)ollr per annum(26 num
bers). In clubs of five, 80 eents each.
Six months, GQ cents- three months. 40

Mr. Bancroft, a member of the firm
of A. L. Bancroft it Co., has beeu tin
past week in St. Helen for the intro
duction of Bancroft's series of school
readers into the Public Schools of the
County. The Bancrofts propose to allow
every scholar the price of his old school
book of the old kind ( Barnes') in a
sook of a higher grade of Bancroft's se
ries, when he arrives at the status to re
quire one ; thereby the new school books
will cost a mere trifle, and besides: they
are more modern in their methods and
more adapted to the children of this
coast, beii:g a native production by those
who know the wants and wishes of our
native-born children. Mr. Bancroft cal
culates that Columbia county will save
$157.50 the first year in school books by
the introduction of this new series.
Some may ask why do the Bancrofts of
fer such inducements, the reason is sim
ply this, what they may gain in the fu-.
ture, Washington Territory has already
accepted their series, and a great part of
California , and the accession of Oregon
would establish their books oa a perma
nent basis.

Gov. Squire: Inasmuch as there
seems to be some doubt as to the facili
ties offered - by this company for the ex
hibition of products of the states and

to say that instructions to bill free of

but that they be gathered up and be de

The actual establishment of an Art
Club will do more than anything else to
discover and develop the art talent in a
community. It often happens, however
that those who would like to start such
an organization do not know how to go
about it. The neces-ary information
is fully given in the November Art Am
ateur, in a suggestive and stimulating
article on " Working Art Clubs," an ar
ticle which every amateur, dosirous of
self-improvement, should peruse with
the closest attention.
We don't know where some of the
journalists in this section got their train
in?, but not a few of them seem to be
nearly devoid of honest effort, as they
are ignorant of the commonest courtesies
that exist between gentlemen elsewhere.
