WE are greatly pleased to see the
Examiner take strong ground against
the elective feature of the judiciary ar
ticle of the present constitution, Doubt
less Gov ernor Hubbard since his OK
perience in two notable cases of ap-
pointment to fill vacancies would like
to see things amended, In these two
cases, it is true, he has or will have to
make appointments, but owing to the
strong struggle for the place, it reduces
him to mere tally.man to count the

We clip the following sketch Of the ''rise
and progress of two of Middletown's young
men from the Epery EUsning and Commercial.
While the prosperity and success Of these gen
tlemen seems almost marvellous, it is nothing
more than the deserved reward Of true merit
and the natural result of Acknowledged ability
and energy.
Three years ago, Mr.. John F. Burris, Of
Middletown, then just graduated at the Uni
versity Of Michigan, went out to California,
where be had been offered lucrative position
in large school at Oakland. Mr.. Burris
gained rapidly in the esteem Of the people
with educational instincts on the Pacific coast
and became principal of the institution to
which he had gone simple assistant professor.
His ability and enterprise obtained the reeog-
milton Of the entire press Of San Francisco and
Oakland, andlast spring feeling the necessity
Of preparatory school to the University Of
California, Mr. Burris was advised by the fac
ulty Of that institution to open an institution
at Berkeley which would meet the want.
After mature deliberation be decided to en-
bark in the enterprise, and during the past
summer erected under the shadow Of the uni
versity, commodious and convenient build
ing, which was opened this fall, with the ap-
probation and patronage Of the faculty Of that
institution. The success Of the enterprise has
been remarkable. The schools now overflow
ing and applicants are turned away in scores,
owing to the limited capacity Of the school
structure
The Institution is known as the Berkeley
Gymnasium and with full faculty is doing
good work in California. A large building
will be erected in time for the coming school
year, capable of accommodating three hun
dred pupils. Mr.. Burris is the president o
thefaculty and owns the Institution. he has
appointed Mr.. Philip R. Boone, also Of Mid
dletown, and a fellow classmate at Michigan,
assistant principal, and two pupils from this
State win go out in October to remain at the
school two years.
Mr.. Burris has since his residence in Cali
fornia Joined heart and fortune to one Of his
former female pupils, the marriage occurring
last spring.

The Temperance folks had big time last
Sunday. As was previously announced,
George NJ. butcher came down from Will
mington, accompanied by Col. John Moore,
President of the Moral Suasion Reform Club !;
Col. II. B. McIntire, Esq Frazier, William
Quinn, and one or two others. The meeting
was called at half-past three, and the hall
was crowded. Rev. Mr.. Martindale presided
as usual while around him sat, on the stage,
Rev. DR.. Patton, Governor Cochran, the
Wilmington men and several Of our own
citizens, active iu the Temperance cause.
Col. Moore was FIRST introduced and after a
few remarks was followed by Mr.. McIntire.
Each of these gentlemen spoke in pleasant
agreeable style and their remarks were well
received. The next speaker was young man
named Hargis. This gentleman spoke his
piece in frst-class college boy Oration style
and gesticulated considerably. His denun-
Citations ofliquor dealers were entirely too
violent, and the less Of him and Of such
speeches as his the Temperance meetings
have, the better it viii be for the cause. Mr..
George N. butcher followed this youth in an
address of about an hour and halfin length.
He seemed thoroughly in earnest and talked
as though his whole soul was enlisted in the
cause. His remarks were impressive and
were listened to by the large audience with
much attention, and had be stopped at the
end of the FIRST half hour, he might have ac-
complished reasonable amount of good, but
unfortunately be did not know when the stop
ping place was reached, and talked on and
on until the patience Of the people-seated as
they were, on the most uncomfortable benches
that human ingenuity eser invented, became
exhausted. his repetitiOus grew tiresOme. and
the golden opportunity was lost. (Wiun
will public speakers learn to stop when they
are through2
At the close of Mr.. butchers address Mr..
MartindaIe presented the pledge, which re-
ceived few additional signatures; collec
ton was taken up for Mr. DIS benefit, result
ing in neat sum. The meeting was then
dismissed with the benedictiou.
And now we hope 1t will not be considered

ance managers that they viii further their
cause and give more general satisfaction if
they win just be contenied with our own
ministers for speakers. Any one Of the ad-
dresses which either Mr.. Martindale or DR..
Patton makes will be better received and do
more good than any or all that these i'm
ported orators can make, at any time or un-
der any circumstances.
