Heard And The School Book Trust. Last night's dispatches from Baton Rouge indicates that Governor Heard is after the School Book Trust with a black horn club. On the first of Au gust the present contract for textbooks for the public schools of the State will expire, and with a view to taking actitn preliminary to another contract, the State board of education was assembled at the capital yesterday. It has been charged upon reputable authority that the patrons in the public schools in Louisiana have been paying more for their textbooks than is the case in some other Southern Slates, and it was with a view jto looking into this matter, as well as examining the merits of the textbooks ottered by publish ers, that a resolution was otter ed by Mr. Scarborough provid ing for the appointment of a committee composed of the pres idents of the three great educa tional institutions supported by the State —the State University, the Normal school at Natchito ches and the Industrial school at Ruston —to examine into the merits of the books ottered and to report the result of their in vestigations to the State board. Most of the books in use in the public schools are controlled by the American Book Compa ny, a powerful school book trust, whose methods have been the subject of much criticism and denunciation in a number l of States, and many of whose I books, both as regards price and 'merit, have met with strong ob jections in Louisiana. These facts being well known in this State, it is unfortunate that several members of the board yesterday felt that the resolu tion proposing to get expert | opinion on the merits of the books offered for adoption might be construed into a re flection upon their capacity to make selections. The resolu tion was ottered by one of the ablest members of the board, and any reflection upon the ca pacity of the board, resulting j from this resolution, would have j attached to the author of the resolution as well as to any oth er member. Being a clear | headed, public-spirited gentle | man of the highest personal in j tegrity, it is inconceivable? that he should have introduced a J resolution which impugned the capacity and motives of him : self and his colleagues. In a | matter of such vital importance to the people of this State in j which both the price and quali ty for the next four years of the [ school books used in the thou sands of public schools in Lou isiana are involved, there is ne cessity for the utmost caution in proceeding. It is important that when the State board shall meet to finally act upon the se- o o DUNN FOUNDRY, MACHINE AND METAL "WORKS. 10000 feet of lloor space covered with brand new and ponderous machinery and fixtures for all kinds of machine and metal working.

C. lection of the books to be used it should be in possession of ox pert opinion bearing both upon the mechanical and literary make-up of the books offered and of their adaptability to the needs of the schools. It is nec essary, also, that this expert opinion should be free and unbi ased by any connection with, or sympathy for, the book trust, which is now seeking to monop olize the educational system of the State, as it has dominated those of other States. It has been suggested that Governor Heard acted arbitrar ily in asking for the resignation of those members who, inno cently, no doubt, opposed the plan designed to thwart the Book trust in their efforts to force high-priced and inferior books upon the school children of Louisiana. We grant that this action was arbitrary, but the situation had resolved itself to the point where a failure to act summarily would have placed the schools of this State for the next four years, com pletely at the mercy of the Book Trust. The arbitrary action of the Governor was, therefore, in the highest degree commenda ble, saving the State, as it did, from falling under the merci less despotism of the school book trust. While the States have the highest regard for the estimable gentlemen who felt it to be their duty to resign from the board, yet the fight in this State between now and the first of August is one be tween the people and the Book Trust, with Governor Heard on the side of the people. We must have cheaper school books, we must permit no book trust to place an embargo upon the education of the poorer classes of our people, nor must our public school system become but an aojunct of a remorseless and grinding trust. But the book trust is a pow erful force in this State and we charge Governor Heard to gird up his loins and make keen the edge of his glittering axe. The people who pay heavy tribute to the book trust are with him, but there is going to be tre mendous commotion in Louisi ana before this thing is settled. The book trust with its ramifi cations every parish in Louisi ana, is as full of resources as an egg is of meat. Its emissaries are going to persuade many OUIMIM, IM. C. MAY, 2€> 1901, people and many excellent! teachers that the fight is in-j spired purely by rival book! concerns and for selfish in-1 terests ; they arc going to raise j a great liullaballoo about the ( great hardship which the Gov-' ernor proposes to inflict upon' the people by a change of text books. We should not be sur prised to see petitions a mile long from teachers and parents who have been duped by the representatives of the creatures of this trust, protesting against any changes. School boards and teachers are going to lute from Hell-fer-sartin to Kingdom Come, and there is going to be a tremendous up roar. Stand firm, Governor; grasp tightly the handle of your trust} axe and give the children of this State cheaper and better books, and, like the old countryman at the circus, cut oft' the head of a trust snake !wherever you see one.—New Orleans Daily States. Prospects in Alaska. Col. P. 11. Ray, who was for sometime in command of the Department of Alaska, gives some surprising information in regard to the farming possibil ities of that country. Accord ing to him, oats, wheat, and all other kinds of grain can be grown anywhere in the Yukon Valley. Blue point grass grows two tons to the acre, and 1,400 bushels of potatoes have been! grown on four acres of ground. Timothy has grown to a height of four feet, and in the sec tion mentioned is growing wild for miles around. There is a great need of good roads, so the interior may be reached and settled by the people who will develop the country and create a large business on the Pacific Coast. The climate of Alas-ka, he says, is even better than on the plaius of Wyoming, Mon tana, and some parts of Neva da. In all parts of Alaska, there are more hospitable win ters. There are no severe snow storms in the interior, and in the dead of winter horses and cattle can be woiked without danger of being frozen. People who go there expect to exper ience a great change in climate, but this is a mistake, for many persons seldom wear overcoats. 'Prove all thing?; hold fast that which is good." New Reunion Music. A new piece of minion music has been published by 0. K. Houck &, Co. of Memphis and Littlp Hock. For originality and brilliancy it cannot be ex celled. It is called the "U. C. V. March," a two-step, com posed by Theo. H. Northrup, and dedicated to the United Confederate Veterans. From a musical as well as an artistic viewpoint this production, is sued especially for the coming reunion, is a masterpiece, and one that will live in the mem ory of those who hear it from scores of bands and orchestras here during the great gather ing. The contrast of the brill iant catchy first part, with the sweet sadness of the memories of the great tragedy recalled by the conclusion, is where the composer has shown his art. The cover is a beautiful thing, wrought in the old Con federate colors. The top of the sheet is adorned with a Confed erate standard, with the letters, "U. C. V." in blue. Below this are the portraits of Gens. Robert E. Lee and Nathan Bed ford Forrest. To the right of this a fac simile of the Confed erate emblem —the famous re union button. Two sheathed swords and a branch of olive are emblematic of the eternal peace of the old North and South, section's that no longer exist, and this effect is height ened by a furled flag, a shatter ed drum and a dismounted field gun at the base of the two por traits. It is a work of art and a credit to the designer.—Eve ning Scimitar (Memphis) May 13. A Professional. Church—You say your boy at college writes for the maga zines? Gotham—Yes, he's written several articles for them. "I don't suppose he's a pro fessional writer?" "What do you mean?" "Why, he doesn't write for money." "Doesn't he?" You ought to see some of the letters he "writes toJneaJ" i SUCCESS. Wealth cannot make a man. i and a genius may be a fnilure. Indurtry, energy, stickabiltv, common sense an (1 sober, steady habits will insure anv yotng man success, writes the philosopher of The Nashville American. If he has not thf capacity to make a fortune, the chances are that lie has not ih» judgment to hold the wealth if it should be given to him The great majority of men promi nent in the world's affairs have climbed the ladder from the bottom rung. A list filiiuc many columns might be cited in support of this assertion. President McKinley's c.ibinet affords an instance. Secretary Hav was a clerk in earl)' life: Secretary Gage began as a bank clerk ; Secretary Root-ft out f>>i himself as a sell* ol ti aeh r: Postmaster General Smith be ga i life as a printer jin I worked his way from the ca j e to the ed itorship of The Philadelphia Press; Secretary Long was a farmer boy; Secretary Hitch cock began as clerk in a small store; Secretary Wilson was a farm hand, but finally purchas ed a farm of his own and work ed his way up- Only two mem bers of the Cabinet, Hay and Knox, received a collegiate edu cation. President McKinley, himself, was a poor boy; Mark Hanna, who is regarded as "next friend" to the president, was a day laborer in his youth. He married the daughter of a rich man, but he refused to marry and live with his father-in-law, and waited until he could estab lish himself in a business and provide a cottage of his own for his wife. The men who suc ceed begin at the bottom. They learn the value of labor and de spise no toil which fall to their hands.

Mr. and Mrs. John W. Belk residing in North Carolina, some 150 miles from here are the parents of sixteen children, all of whom are normal and like any other children save one. This one, Miss Dosia Belk, is now 25 years of age, and in all these years has never spoken to her father. With other mem bers of the family she is pleas ant, kind and talks as freely as do they, but if asked a question or spoken to by her father she is dumb, and always has been since birth, what the reason is for this she is as unable to tell as are her brothers and sis ters. She simply cannot speak to him, and though she hears and obeys him, she has to use others as a medium of conversa tion with him. This has been a source of great grief and wor ry to Mr. Belk, but is inexplic able by him and by all who have investigated the matter, among the latter being learned physicians. The theory of in tense natural aversion, such as renders some men or women paralyzed at the sight of a snake or spider or mouse or toad or any other one particular object, may account for it, "but the rea son is as far off as ever, if such hypothesis be accepted.—Dan- j ville Va.
