A Proposition to Do An ay Willi
General Encampments.
PriTsnuita, Rept. 10. Tbo full forces
of the G-and Arm; have complete pos
session of the city. Over 10,000 are
here and took partt under command of
Rear-Admiral J, B. Oaborne, in a naval
parade this morning. They were
cheered all along the llnoofmaroh.
Many historic relics of naval warfare
were carried, among them a torn and
stained banner which floated over the
Ill-fated Kearsage. The naval veterans
went into annual convention this after
noon. Thlrty-foUr associations are rep
resented. Commander-in-Chief J. C.
B. Aunms, of the Grand Army of tbo
republic, arrived this morning with his
staff. Ninety thousand men are to be
in line in tomorrow's parade. Fully
50,0'JO visitors are now in the city.
THE GRAY REPRESENTED.
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, second
in command of the Confederate army
at Appomattox court house in this city
and met a number of men, who wero
in the Union army when Lee gave his
sword to General Grant. General Gor
don will deliver a leoture before leav

THE ARRANGEMENTS.
It Is estimated that tomorrow at least
100,000 visitors will be here. A copious
sbower fell Sunday aftirnoon, clearing
the atmosphere and tempering tbo
heat so the sight-seeing has b:en made
pleasant. The universal comment of
visitors regarding the decorations and
display of patriotism is that at no time
In the past at an emcampmont has
Pittsburg been outdone. As the differ
ent visiting posts arrive they are met
by escorts detailed from the local regi
ments of the national guard, and with
flying colors and bands playing they
are taken to the places assigned them,
and cheered to the echo by throngs on
the sidewalks. The naval veterans are
established in quarters on the river, on
steamers fitted up especially for their
use. Old times certainly are being re
vived by them, for they observe
the strictest discipline on their "ships"
and seem to bo enjoying it to the full.
Among the noted arrivals were two
men from Honolulu. They represent
the full membership of the Grand
Army in Hawaii und wero dutermi ncd

About the only mailer that would be

THE Til V BOOK THUS.
Our f i. vii.'b correspondent sends
opinion "J 'leading educators" on
question .. tU.ngcs to be eflected by
putting it Hue tho McElroy law,
under w!i oh very county superinten
dent and i bo flute board of examlnere
(probably appointed by McElroy,) are
to vote th U cbo'.-H or text books for
tbe public coooIb . Oregon for tbe
next six year. They nro iniblished by
nearly two hundred
wo have shown, there
publisher?. Aa
will bo suca gi
the rea. choice
.verslty of choice that
will be left to the state board of educa
tion, which is practically Mr. McElroy,
who drew tho bill himself and would
practically havo the dlsignatlng of
choice of text books for the next six
years for the 400,000 people of Oregon,
with sohool book depositories to estab
lish In each county, probably controll
ing the sale and contraot price of half
a million dollars worth of school books.
It will be seen each of the "leading
educators" has some change to propose.
Each has a pet school toxt book that be
preters. Tbd result of their votes would
be that a great many changes would
be forced upon the people. Tbe slight
change each ono Indicates would result
in a complete change in the aggregate,
with the changes tho board would
probably order, The atato board Bhould
beenolned from forcing a change of
text books In tbeso hard times when
tho people can hardly pay their taxes
and live.
All these professors and school polltl
ciansand "leading educators'' are say
ing: "We do not want a change.
This law would not be favorable to a
change. It would not be helpful to the
school book trust," etc. If thta.ta.trm.,.
why not lea?e .aeatten a tbey
are. WHy set all thie maebiaery In
motion at a time when Mr. McElroy le
going out of office? The people did
not see fit to continue Mr. McElroy In
office. Why should his machinery for
control of tho text book business in
Oregon bo Imposed upon the people for
six years more T Why should hie dy
nasty be prolonged ? If the people un
der tholr new tstata superintendent and
their now state board ot education,
composed entirely of new men, could
by any manner of means, secure
cheaper text books, even by state pub
lication In the next six years, tbey
should not be barred of the privilege.
