THEODORE THoMAs's CoNCERrs-If it were
desirable or necessary, in order to convince
anybody of the high character of the forth
coming Concerts of Mr.. Thomas's orchestra, we
could readily fill column with extracts from
our exchanges, commendatory of them. The
Hartford and Boston journals, especially,
where these Concerts have lately been given,
can scarcely find words strong enough to ex-
press the pleasure the people have felt with
them. Especially is this the case in Boston,
where very successful series has just closed
But the people of Portland are going to rely up
on their own experience Mr.. Thomas has been
here, and has left pleasant memories behind
him, and we are anxious to renew our deligh
full acquint ince with him. The best evidence
of this was the demand for tickets as early as
the first of the week, and the appearance of the
hall-plans at Paine's yesterday afternoon as
sures the great maestro's friends that grand
success is already assured.

For Superintendent OF Public Instruction

For Superintendent OF Public Instruction.
The Elko Chronicle of the 14th inst.
contains a very able article on the Public
Schools Of this State, and the necessity
of nominating and electing a good and
competent man to fill the Office Of State
Superintendent; from which we take the
following:
The Office Of Superintendent is one
that has less money in it than almost
any other, and, as a consequence, polit-
ical parties pay less attention to 1t than
any other; and it so happens, in many
instances, that incompetent men are cho-
sen to ill q position that requires the
highest order of talent in that particu-
lar line to fill it properly
And againi ri
AS the Republican party has ever
been the friend of the public schools,
and has enacted q good wholesome
School law for Nevada, il is to be hoped
they will not lose sight of the necessity
for having a live, honest and efficient
executive officer at the head of that de-
partment Of the State Goyernment-one
who knows what ought to be done, and

lish this, it will be necessary to place the
right man in nomination, both for State
and County Superintendent
Further it says:
Mr.. b. F. Biyins, of Carson, who is
now here, is announced for State Super
intendent. He comes well recommended
as q man of experience in the manage.
ment Of schools, good business habits,
etc, and appears to be well posted.
Who else will be before the Convention,
if any one, we have no intimation. We
like the appearance of Mr.. Bivins, and
have no doubt he would make a good
officer; bat If another shall prove to bt
the choice of the Convention, shall al
readily support that other
We are very much pleased to learn tina
Mr.. Bivins is q candidate for that office
and has the recommendation Of tina

him long and well, and have no doubt o
his qualifications TO fill the ofice,of Stat,
