Northern and Central Italy, a. far a. Florence,

countries, with jocose antics and humorous sto-

lated on his return with much gusto. He par
took Of the free Inequalities of the monks In
the monasteries; slept on straw in humble
barns, and when he reached . village would
pail out his flute and strike up lively air, to
WHICH the rustics would respond with dances,
and In recompense for which he would obtain q
modest lodging and something to eat. When
be came to extremities he did not disdain to
beg; and In Italy, where the surfeit of music
Mhdefed his POOR flute powerless, he used to
earn his keeping by engaging in the competitive
discussions at the universities, the champion Of

A Herculean Task.

The New York World and the San
Francisco Examiner are now engaged
inlthe somewhat difficult task of re-or-
ganizing the Democratic party. With
confidence in the success of their
work worthy the faith and zeal Of such
untiring apostles, they predict the
early and entire control of the Ma
tional Government by that party. If
old line Democrats haye one virtue
which outshines oil others, it is faith
full adherence to the belief that the an
cient glory Of their party has not de-
parted for all time, but will shine
again brighter and purer for the chas-
tening it has received. There is moth
ing wrong about the old principles OF
Democracy, they are, in fact, the
principles the people are now striving
to maintain; but there is good deal
wrong, indeed, almost all wrong, with
the Democratic party of to-day. The
machine is all well enough, but it
wants an engineer. The valve has
been tied down for long time, and
without skillful handling an explosion
will occur that will so shatter the con-
Germ that all the glue ever made will
not stick it together again. The World
and Examiner may re-organize the par
ty, and when they have done SO, they
must find MOSES to lead it out of the
Egyptian darkness in which it has
been wandering for long time. He
must lead it across the Red Sea, and
in making the passage contrive to
drown the old fogies and false prophets
that led it into bondage and made its
serfdom the slavery of ignorance and
prejudice. He must lead it out of
itself and away from itself. The DEM
ocratic party re-organized and so led,
will be new party, with new blood,
new leaders and new power.

The Centennial Management.

Somehow we cannot fall in love
with the Centennial management. 1t
smacks too strongly of individual spec
ulation and too slightly of a patriotic
demonstration. The programme reads
like a little game called, "heads win,
tails you lose." There are too many
shrewd business men interested in fix
ing up things. When such men begin
to babble patriotism, it is a pretty
sure sign that somebody is going to be
robbed. Why should the National
Government the people pay ten
million dollars to assist Philadelphia
in building an exhibition martin box?
This centennial celebration, if it ever
comes of, will pour millions of dollars
in the pockets of the Quaker city res
idents. They will squeeze the Ameri-
can people and fleece the civilized
world. The Austrian harvest recently
gathered at Vienna was a mere moth
ing to the great take of Philadelphia
during the centennial celebration. Yet
as sort of foretaste of the feast, the
nation is expected to give ten million
dollars, and each State in the Union
million or so more. Does anyone sup
pose that all this money would be hon
estly expended in preparing for the GEN.
tennial? For one, we suppose no such
thing. We do not believe that one
tenth part of it would be so used. We
do suppose, however, that each
member of the Managing or Executive
Committee would close his labors with
the slightest possible amount of work
and the greatest possible amount of
stealings, and We further suppose that
each of these gentlemen would retire
millionaire. On the whole, it is good
thing for the country that the House
refused the centennial managers first
modest request for three million dol
lars. We can use this money to better
advantage.

Compulsory Education.

The Michigan Teacher, in brief
review of u report on "Compulsory
Fducation," thus states its want of
confidence in the success of the
measure in this country:
1T may be freely conceded that the
theory of the logic, and many of the
facts, are with the advocates of COM
pulsory chool-attendance, or equivo.
lent private education. We believe
the argument, for the right of the
s ate, to self-protection through popu-
lar education, is impregnable. Yet
we are obliged to add, after careful
and wide study of the subject, and
patient waiting for the result of eX-
periments, that we have no present
hope of the success of any compulsory
act of the kind in any State of the
Union. None has yet succeeded-not
even the Wanted 'Truant Act of
Massachusetts. In Michigan, under
fiborab,e conditions, the trial has been
made for two years and half, and
without perceptible results in increas-
ing schoOl-attendance, or stimulating
home education. The general testi-
| luOlly Is, tllitt HO uluelitloIl WudleNcl
is paid to the law. The notices re-
quired by the Act, were, with rare eX-
ceptions, not even posted by the school
officers last Fall.'
The Illinois SchOolmdSter for March,
takes a similar position, and expresses
the hope that the bill pending in the
Illinois Legislature, may not become
a law. CThe bill was subsequently de-
feated in the Senate). Itquestions the
expediency of such legislation, and
expresses the fear that attempts to en-
force compulsory law would awaken
increased opposition to the public
school system. 1t urges that the great
need is better schools, and that these
will come when we have better teach
erS. ,.9
The HERALD adds, better teachers
will come when better salaries and
more permanent situations are offered
to men and women, mentally and
morally qualified for the responsible
duties of the school room. We hold
that as much brains, if not as much
education, is required to teach a pri-
mary class of childen as for the sue
cessful management of high school;
yet it is the fixed policy of those who
provide teachers and fix their salaries
to pay prices so low to all under teach
ers that no one with brains enough to
teach school will follow the business
longer than they can help it. The
moment fair wages are offered at other
employment, they go out of the bust

The investigation Farce.

The most palpable iarce on the peo-
pie of California is the investigation
of charges preferred against Federal
officers. 1t is the shallOwest bit of
humbuggery that ever deceived or
attempted to deceive an intelligent
community. Charges are preferred
by two classes of men from widely
different motives. One is scheme
for forcing some one out of the ling,
and the other is the effort of some one
TO get into the ring. The interests of
the Government never enter into the
charges and are never considered in
the investigation which follows. 1t
is a cat and dog squabble in which the
cat or dog marked for the sacrifice is
always immolated-decapitated, de-
functed and cremated. The ring is
presided over by a gentleman who re-
mains in Washington during the ses-
sions of Congress, and his orders are
executed by an able lieutenant in San
Francisco. There is and has been for
years in San Francisco, a whisky ring
formed for the express purpose of do
ing the Government out of as large a
proper lion as possible of the revenue
tax on whiskey, and to prevent the
manufacture Of the article by parties
not admitted into the magic circle.
Innumerable charges have been pre-
ferred q ,ainst revenue officers and
distillers. Investigations have fol-
lowed resulting in the squelching Of
the distillery not in the ring, and in
whitewashing the official who had not
departed from the instructions of the
king pin at Washington. If the
charge comes from &. candidate for adj
mission into the ring, experts are sent
out to investigate the matter fully and
prove the charges to be without the
slightest foundation in fact. If the
charge is brought for the purpose
of extinguishing an outside distil-
lery or forcing some obnoxious seq
ment out of the circle, the experts are
selected with view solely to their
qualifications fer finding ire ularities,
whether they exist or not, and the
victim must find speedy way of mol
flying the High Priest at Washington,
or he will be proven a villain too
black for the manufacture of whisky
or membership of the inner circle.
The whisky manufacturing business
o. California is a close corporation,
governed by one man for the benefit
of the few whom it may concern, and
the Government is not partner in
the firm. When it is found that an
honest investigation = an investiga-
ton that will seek to uncover, not
cover up fraud-may be had, revela-
tions that will astonish the people of
San Francisco and of the State will be
made. Now, nothing can be done,
and all efforts to secure an honest in
vestigation into the truth or falsity of
charges are just so much time and
trouble thrown away.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-05-17
Crop Prospects.

Reports from the San Joaquin val
ley-the great wheat field of the
State-are to the effect that in some
localities, particularly in Tulare coun-
ty and on the western portion Of San
Joaquin and Stanislaus counties, the
crops will not be as large as the prom
Use of some weeks ago seemed to war;
rant. On the west side of the San
Joaquin river, from Grayson down,
good crops are only assured after a
very wet season and the rains of last
Winter and Spring were not quite
sufficient to guarantee such q result
this year. In some portions of the
Sacramento valley the same cause
will probably induce like falling off
in the yield. In the counties and val
leys around San Francisco Bay, as
well as in Sonoma and Mendocino
counties, the wheat yield will meet
the most sanguine expectations of the
farmers. In the entire tier of the
Southern Coast counties the crop pros
poets are very fiattering, and the GER
tainty of full yield is beyond
question. Our San Bernardino ex-
changes are filled with glowing ac-
counts of the farmers prospects in that
county. In our own valley the hus-
bandman has abundant returns for
his labor. Meyer in the history of the
State has Los Angeles valley had
such an extensive acreage covered
with grain; every acre of which prom
ises full yield, as at this time. With
a rich and exhaustless soil, and the
finest climate in the world, what Won
der that the people in search of homes
are coming here by the steamer load.
The crop prospects throughout the
State are good, very good, but in Los
Angeles valley they are more than
good.
