State Chronicle. Battle Cheek Mich., May 18, ISO 1. I have been for the last three weeks travelling in one of oar Wes tern States, changing locality nearly every day, and, therefore, re ceiving my mail spasmodically. Clippings from North Carolina pa pers with personal allusionp, wh.ch should have reached me Beveral days ago, now come though somewhat belated. In reply to these, I would say that the statement concerning the N. C. Temperance Education Law being a "piece of Jobbery" emenatiDg from the American Book Company, is not true. The author of this assertion is misinformed aB to facts and wrong as to conclusions. The American Book Company had nothing whateyer to do with my efforts for that legislation, and, as far as I know, they had no intimation that the law was proposed until after it was enacted. I am not an agent of the AmerU can Book Company, nor in any sense or in any way in their employ, nor of any other publishing house, nor of any one or of anything in this matter, save my own convictions, and my desire to saye my country from the horrors of intemperance, t.hrouoh teachin2 i future citizens o a in the plastic peru.1 of childhood in the schools, to abhor strong drink. I have no personal financial inters est in book on this topic Issued by the American Book Company nor by any other publishing house. A great national and international society of representatives Chiistian woman called the Woman's Christian Temperance Faioh share my con victions on this 8uljaet. As the result of our united effort?, laws re (pairing the study of Scientific or Physiological Temperance have been enacted in thirty fiye States, in cluding N. C. and by the National Congress for all the Territories, the District of Columbia and other schools under national control. There i3 not a feat a re of the North Carolina law that cannot be found in similiar etatctes enacted by that National Congress or by other States. Therefore, if the North Carolina laws is a :piece of jobbery'' all these other laws are also, for they were secured by the same instrumentali ty and for the same, purpose, The idea that the woman's Chris tian leroperr.nce Union or I their representative in their cdncational work haye been able to inveigle the National Congress and all these Legislatures in enacting laws that they, the W , C. T, U. or I might thereby make money on the sale of books is preposterous. As well claim that the religoua journal, the minister, missionary or Sunday School teacher who urges the study of the Bible is actuated by a desire to make money on the sale of Bibles. The Woman's Christian Temper ance Union, of North Carolina, last year decided to petition their Leg islature, in session last winter, for ttiis Temperance Kiucation law. They circulated throughout the State petitions for the same, which peti tions they presented to the Legisla ture, bearing the signatures of thou- ! sands of North Carolina citizens, asking for the law. They invited me, j their national representative, to come j to Raleigh, and in their behalf to! present the argume for the ' i w E tucati jii. to At the Committee or much personal inconvenience, I went just as I have gone to other States before for a like purpose ' The facts concerning the nature of alcoholic drinks and narcotic and their effe-. s n the h 'i m ! n sys'em : - ; . : cannot be stated m loss than one : , fourth the spice given to the relative - , . . 1 , . . c physiology and ngiene that of;1 J . . is suit-! i a' le to be taught in primary or in termediate grades or in le?s than twenty pages in the Iiigh-schoo-book. Therefore that amount of temperance matter is specified in the laws on this topic of mny States, including North Carolina, The fact that books of various grades comply ing with this specification are pub lished by foor different houses not including the . oiericin Ho k c-a: IpanT for Doiany !t to., n pos.tve nrrof that there i m tUs clause i no evidence of legislation in the in terests of or e set of books or of one j publishing bou?e. j The editor of the Bihneal Recorder quotes from a preface in the Union Series of tempcrai.ee Physiologic the statemeot thit '"these books have ; been more or less prepared and whollv popervised by Mrs. Mary Hunt." and from that jumps to thai mistaken conclusion that I am there-' fore in the pay of the publishers of i abridging the free lorn of the press. V the same. The facts in the ca?eTuU is a wise provision. Tuere are about the books on this topic are as follows: The Science of Temperance was a Dew branch and its school litera ture unprepared when the first laws requiring its study enacted eight and one-half years ago. If the study was to be pursued, well graded text books were as necessary as spelliug books or readers. A vast amount of work and money had to be ex pended by somebody in ord.;r to secure such a literature that is re liable. I make no aplogy (or having expended my time, money and labor to that end. It would have been perfectly right for me to have kept copyrights of other forms of rem urneratiou on books thu9 prepared, but. I did not bccau?e I felt called to work for this education for the child hood of this and other lands; and that there might be no possible ground for charges that my labors emanated from the interested mo tives and my work hindered thereby I declined to take the personal re compense for my literary labors in this direction that wa justly my due. Mv name can be found in the pre face of books on tins topic published bv other houses than the American Book Company fft' .y 2rs;-;ed F -I'luso such books ce it.un tV. troths we desired taught and the publishers wishe them to be sustained by what ever reputation for scientific accura cy on this topic my name represents. When the North Carolina Legis lative Committee on Fducation at Major Finger's suggestion, asked me questions about books, publishers and prices, that Committee will re member that I told them that I knew little or nothing about the business side of these text books that are on our lists as indorsed by us, I did not kaow that the Dulanv books could not be sold in North Carolina and rinlw know it now from Major Fin- j "ere r-ublishtd statement in the North Carolina papers, as I arr not the business agent of these houses it was perfectly legitimate that I should not have known that fact. A book on our li3ts simply implies that for doctrine and general educational merit we commend it. It is a little surprising that in the interview repotted with Msjor Fin ger no nention i9 made of other books that comply with the law pub lished by other houses besides Du laney & Co., aDd the American Book Company as though these last are all. The Biblical Recorder is right as to my interest in the enforcement of this law. With the same ear nestness that I plead for its enact ment, and from the same motives, namely, that the children of North Carolina may be intelligently warn ed and saved from thralldom oftrong drink. I now hope that no misrep resentation or misconception will mislead the parties entrnsed with the enforcement of this law from the real question at issue the duty of selecting tha books that contain the topics the law requires taught. Kd2Ucalional statististics prove that 03 per cent of the children in the public schools never go beyond the primaries and that less than 5 per cent ever reach the h.zh school. Therefore, the great majority of the 'poor people of North Carolina'' wili have to buy but one, or at n: t two ook-v on this top;; en ive nrima"y o books are so wisely id tho--:- ir.e j3. F' tho--selected that they warn t tie child studying them against all forms of alcoholic drink, it will be the wisest inve-trccnt that any parent could make, saving in the end both money and the child Mary II.

Pa, Ill, JUSTICE HARLAN PAYS A GLOWING TRIBUT TO THE PRESS. Justice HrUr of tio Court of the United Sttf, in a lec ture before the Liw College of the Uuiveritv of Wicoain n (' inslt - tutional Liw," gave the following compliment to the press of the eoun- try: iiNr shall conros make any liws some men, stung to the quick by what they pee in the newspaper who! would favor a law that would plate; the press of the country under u cen sorship. Much may be siid against the manner in which newspapers are of ten conducted, but 1 do not think that I overestimate their value when I say that we depend largely for our real protection in this coun try upon the vigilance of the press. P. is almost impossible in tnia coun try, as long as tne press is not muz zled, for corruption to hold sway for any great length of lime. There arc those who think that everything is going to pieces, that the na lion is be coming as corrupt as all the natioLh of the earth, and they affect to think so because they see so many things ia the newsDapers. I want, however, to express the conviction that we are a good deal better otr than we were fifty years ago. Not that I re member myself, but judging from what I have heard, we are not grov. -ingwor3e; we are getting better The standard of public morality and virtue is higher than it was twenty five years agy. Our p ;blic m'.-n , whatever m v be said to , : . co try, in the coi . ress if the l ..iUd tes are, in their moral character, a higher grade of men than were there twenty live r filty years ato. There are less vices among them. Old men, who reincm ber what existed in Washington thiity or forty years ago, all say that. Now, I believe that a vat deal of this i3 due to the fact that the pub lic press of this country is every day and every hour of our existence turn ing its light into the dirk place?, and ferreting out corruptions in their birth, and bringing befor the people of tb is country that which they onj-ht to know, and therefore I behye in this provision of the bill of rights. Poverty is Expensive. (St. Louis Globe Democrat.) "There is nothing so expensive as poverty," says a Wasuington house wife. "It seems paradoxical to put It so, but no poor man can alford not to bs a few dollars ahead in the world. The extreme case is that of the very poor, who must pay for coal double the price charged the ricb, be. cause they have to get it by the bushel or scuttleful, and to with everything else. The poor woman mast pay for a sewing machine on installment, though she could buy it for 35 cash down. Her lack of the ready cash costs her 15; that is, whereas it is the poor who ought to get everything cheaper, they have always to pay enormously more than the rich for the same thing", merely because they are poor. In extremity they must seek the pawnbroker, who again preys upon their slender re sources because they have so little. Credit for anything always costs money, and the poor are those who mustpayforit Our means are very moderate, and the only reason that we get along so comfortably as we do is that we never owe for anything. Yt a's'ago we were always in debt, and the s?raggie was severe to get along, withhout counting the distress and annoyance incidental to owing tradesmen most v. Finally we found out win-.' the -r ter was. and got square v . :: ti. o orllby along rt ot eelf-denial.
