A REASON WHY.

The Democratic Convention, held at Kalama-
ZOO last Thursday, put in nomination for Circuit
Judge Josiah /. Halves, OF Kalamazoo whose
past record smacks as strongly of corruption
does that OF Dwight May for drawing from
the public treasury pay for clerk for the At
torney General, for which the law makes no
prov5ion
We understand that May and his managing
man, Arthur Brown, brought what pressure they
could upon the Democratic convention IN favor
Of Halves 1t must be apparent that their
motives we're simply to estop the mouths OF
Democrats and the Democratic press from
ventilating the official acts Of May. They pro-
ceeied upon the principle that, although Mays
official acts would not bear venhlating, yet, II
they could help foist upon the Democrats
candidate "a corrupt as be (May) is believed to
be, the thing would be even and there would
ne no exposures. a shrewd dodge, indeed!

some one L New ork writes a. follows OF
Scribner for March
II suppose that after this March number
of Major Powel's Colorado papers is published
the public will wake up to the extraordinary
interest OF the series both in story and Illus
tration. and will be looking up the back num-
bers. a more splendid feat has seldom been
described so modestly and well, by the hero
himself. IN fact the public seem to be looking
up the back numbers of this volume Of Scrlbner
already, :or the publishers are reprintipg some,
and expect to be compelled to reprint all the
issues since the beginning OF the volume in
November
Dr. Hollands Story Of Sevenoaks may have
something to do with this unusual demand.
This reaches its third nstallment in the March
number, and the villain of the play is taken
from the quiet of Sevenoaks to the more turbid
and congenial atmosphere of the metropolis,
where it seems likely that he will run course
not altogether unprecedented in the history OF
successful vulgarians.
Jules Vernes story has disappointed good
many people, who did not know 1t was written
for young people. The Editors. by the way,
have taken it IN hand, and are condenslng It
into much more than it's original interest.
Jules Verne condenses much better than EN-
erson.
Speaking OF condensation, Mr.. Stedman has
had to do not little Of that in his Victorian
Poets the last of which interesting series ap-
pears IN the March Scnbner Stedman's opin-
ion Of Swinburne will astonish many persons
whose knowledge Of this author is like a cele-
brated old ladys knowledge Of Johnson's Die.
tionary.
How the Opera o: Dante was written is not
an essay, as some will suppose; it Is a story
which contains suggestion to which we beg
leave to call Verdl's attention.
Airy Lillian is a fair sample of what may be
called an occasion story, and certainly throws a
good deal of light upon rather obscure topic
In this number we have one of the promised
papers by Albert Rhodes, who this time gives
an entertaining illustrated sketch of the famous
fabulist La Fontaine.
Some Old Letters are continued, and besides
their own interest, are remarkable as being
accompanied by a hitherto unpublished portrait
of Sir Walter Scott, by the artist Newton, once
we'll known in America and England.
Dr. Robinson says some bright things here
about DR.. Leonard Bacon and bis book, under
the title Of New England aud her Church

The most noticeable features in the Editorial
departments are DR.. Hollands papers on Crit

Sex In Education controversy, and new de-
parture in the Etchings department, which ~
much longer ana moro varied than ever before.

HOW FAIR is THIS /?

In the 14th Judicial Circuit the judicial con-
yention divided, two counties withdrawing, while
tue two other counties OF the district proceeded
to nominate ring candidate. The Detroit
Post places the. name OF that candidate at the
head Of It's editorial columns among the names
of the nominees for Circuit judges, who have
been nominated up to last week in the several
judicial districts OF the State. The Post claims
to be fair paper yet it has carefully refrained
from placing the name Of GEORGE w. LAwToN,
who was nominated week before last as the Re-
publican candidate for Circuit Judge in the 9th
judicial circuit. in the list.
The Kalamazoo delegates, refusing to organ
ize on equal terms with Van Buren,, adjourned
to some future day and then went home, while
the balance Of the district organized and NOM
mated candidate for Circuit Judge, and trans
acted tho other business usual IN conventions
of this kind, and adjourned without day.
Upon what principle does the Post proceed,
when it places the name Of one Of these can
didates at it's editorial head? 1t looks as
though the Post WAS not so very impartial, and
that Its leanings we're for the Kalamazoo fugle-
men, who think shat all Van Buren, has to do
is to furnish the votes necessary to elect their
ring candidates

two new men picked up in Kalamazoo to I'LL
the places a Mr.. Neasmith and Dr. Lowell
assembled at the Court House IN Kalamazoo,
and went through the ceremony of organizing
and declaring May their candidate for Circuit
Judge. This was ten days after the day APP
pointed for holding the convention, and ten
days after Judge Lawton's nomin alton.
1t is very apparent that May had but one OBJ
iect in forcing himself forward, and procuring
himself to be declared candidate ten days
after convention had been held at time APP
pointed by May himself, and nomination
made and that object was, and is, the defeat
of the Republican nominee; and that for no
other reason than that he wanted the place
himself, and rather than see the wishes OF the
people carried out by new deal, he will play
smash generally.

had some little burglarizing here during the

to the many - itinerant tramps" that have
been continually travelling along the line of the

as yet none have been brought to justice, for
their nocternal entrances. We may also add
under this head, that King Alcohol is doing a
little something for the progr ession OF his
cause in this vicinity, but we hope that morality
and temperance is still paramount. A couple
of renowned - Bachanals on last Monday
evening, after having imbibed a considerable
amount of bad whiskey, oncluded to wind up

A MODEL REFoRMER.-The Illinois
Assembly has elected Elijah NJ. Haines,
Independent, as Speaker. We were rails
ed within a mile of Elijah and know
something of him. His first political
predictions were whg, and he went be-
fore the Wing Convention of his county
as candidate for County Surveyor
Finding he would be beaten, he thanked
his friends kindly for their promised sup
port, pledged himself to sustain the ticket
and in an hour afterwards drove q bar
gain with the Democrats by which he be-
came their candidate, they having no one
qualified for the Office in their own ranks.
He was defeated in the election, but the
tactics he then laid out he has followed
through life. He is always on the watch
for an Office, and is not particular at
whose hands he receives it. He was
nominated last Fall for the Assembly by
Independents and Democrats of his dis
triet composed of Lake and McHenry
counties. The district elects two members
and under the cumulative" system each
voter is entitled to three votes for Assem-
biymen. The McHenry Democrats di-
vided their votes between Hanes and
Richards, but Haines got his Lake coun.
ty friends to give their three votes solid
for him, which resulted in Haines getting
about two votes to Richards one in the
District, and elected Haines and a Re-
publican. If he is fair specimen of the
Illinois "reformer," one term will be suf-
foient to sicken the people Of that State
OF reform" rule.

THE Book SwINDLE.-NotwithstanG-
ing the fact that the press Of the State
has almost unanimously spoken against
any change, that more than two-thirds of
the County Superintendants gave opin-
ions the same way, and that any change
whatever would he in direct opposition to
the wishes of the people, the State Board
OF Education at its meeting on the 9th in
slant by a vote of four out of nine-a bare
majority of one--decided to substitute the
Bancroft series Of readers for the ones
now in use in the Common Schools. The
expense of this change will of course
come heavy on those least able TO stand
it, the parents of the children. The act
of the State Board was an arbitrary one,
and one without justification. 1t has
been shown in the discussion of the mat
ter, that the new series of readers are in
ferior to the series now in use, that in
point of merit the scholars will be losers
by the change. What considerations
governed the Board in its action can only
be guessed at-some of our contemporaries
do not hesitate to say that the all-power-
fal agent of bribery had something to do
with it. Bribery, however, is a common
charge against men in public position,
whenever they happen to act in conflict
with the general desire, and we are 10th
TO believe that body Of men, having SC
high trust as the education Of our youth
given them, can be guilty Of such an in.
famous crime. 1t is possible that the de.
cision of the board will not be submitted
TO in this instance. The law under which
they ale acting is framed in such man.
ner as to protect the interests of both par.
ents and children, and some of the inhu-
ential papers below counsel an appeal to
the law before asserting TO the dctum of
the Board.

THE TRIAL OF VAsoUEz.-After in
Vulnerable delays, the great bandit, III
burcio Vasquez, is arraigned at the bar
of justice at last. Since the days of Joa-
quin Murietta, no man has been the
cause of such reign Of terror in the
Southern portion of the State, and people
breathed freer when it BECAME known
that the officers of justice had at last
hunted him down. The plan of the gang
of which he was leader, was TO commit
some daring outrage, and then scatter
and take refuge in flight until the excite
ment bad blown over. They had the
sympathies of the native Caliiornians,
who kept them fully posted as to the
movements Of their pursuers On the Goth
of August, 1874, Vasquez, with seven 9TH
OF native Californians, rode up to Tres
Pinos in Monterey county. Their object
seems to have been robbery only, but,
other parties coming on the scene, were
shot down in cold blood, three persons
being thus murdered. 1t is for these
murders that Vasquez is now tried for his
life-two indictments having been found
against him for murder on that occasion.
The crime was committed in what was
then Monterey, but is now San Benito
county, but Vasquez' counsel procured a
change of venue to Santa Clara, and the
trial is progressing beforo Judge Belden
at San Jose. The trial is now concluded,
Vasquez being found guilty, and by ver-
dict Of the jury, sentenced to death. The
counsel for defense moved for stay of
proceedings to prepare statements for a
motion tor new trial, which was grant
ed.

BIG FIRE IN SACRAMENTo.-About 3
o'clock on Saturday afternoon the West
ern Hotel caught fire by an explosion in
the oil room and before the flames could
be got under control, almost the entire
interior portion of the building was de-
stroyed. w. Land, the proprietor, esti-
mates his loss at about $40, 900, insurance
$4,000. 1t is believed that several per-
sons were burned in the building, among
them, Job Court and Sim Conkling, two
veteran printers well known to the craft
on this Coast. Three bodies were taken
from the ruins of the hotel, two Of which
were recognized as those of the two print
ers mentioned above the other had not
been identified at last accounts. The loss
on the building and contents was nearly
100000, about half Of which was covered
by insurance.
