PREACHER OR TBAcHER--wHrcH.

For the responsible position of Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction. the
Democrats have nominated d. r. SEES.
sions, Principal of the State University.
an accomplished scholar and practical
teacher. For the same position. the
Republicans have placed on their ticket
Rev. j. d. Hammond, Methodist
minister, who, from his calling, is nec-
essarily sectarian. 1t is the aim of the
people of Nevada, who are taxed for the
support of the public schools, to keep
them free from sectarian influences.
This principal is embodied ia the Con.
stitution, aud SO watchful are the peo.
pie as a whole, of sectarians as a class.
that an amendment is proposed to the
Constitution. and will be submitted to
the voters of the State at the next gen.
eral election, prohibiting the use of the
public funds for sectarian purposes of
any kind whatever. Why then, should
sectarlan preacher, who has had no
experience as teacher, be selected to
superintend the public schools in pref.
erance to a practical teacher, whose
business for years has been educating
the youth of the State? As we'll elect
man who is wholly ignorant of law,
Judge of the Supreme or District
Court. or Attorney General, as a person
who is unacquainted with teaching.
superintendent of Public Instruction.
Let preachers attend to their legitimate
duties. the salvation of souls, and give
teachers opportunity to exercise their
legitimate business, the education of
children.

California Communists.

California is strange place. It
was settled with the odds and en- dis
Of creation. And although many
of her citizens are the peers of any
one, she has floating population Of
the worst character. San Francis
CO is the loafing place and rallying
centre of all the tramps Of the
the Pacific coast, containing about
ton thousand of these out of voting
population of twenty-seven thous-
and. Heretofore this vote has
fuctuated between the two great
parties. But not long since man
named Kearney inaugurated the
Communistic movement, and rallied
around his banner all the tramps
bummers hoodlums" of the city to-
gether with a number of disaffected
workingmen. TIE result was shown
last week. An election was held for
delegates to Constitutional Conven-
tion. Such body should be com~
posed of the ablost and purest citi-
zens of a State. Kearney nominat-
oil his candidates in every county.
The best citizens of both parties
combined against tho Communists,
and brought out non>partisan
ticket. Bourbon Democrats and
Radical Republicans also each nomi~
mated ticket. In San Francisco
the Communists polled twelve
thousands votes, the. non -partisans
eight thousand, and tho two straight
tickets only seven thousand between
them. The Communists thus se-
cured about one-fourth the regular
delegates to the convention, besides
possibly securing the thirty~two
delegates at large. The result is
not known, but the Communists
claim the convention This is ter :,
rible crew to havo the fixing up of
a constitution for State. This
war-cry is death or expulsion of

lies "a good thing) division Of

less of skill, all comprehended under
the sententious motto "the rights of
man."
The progress of this movement
will be closely watched. California
will bo fortunate if she escapes
without a serious injury. One les
son Of Importance here taught is the
necessity Of unity. Had all the
good elements combined instead of
nominating three different tickets,
Kearney and his hoodlums would
have been summarily squelched.
Danger ever attends divisions.

THE GRATEFUL POODLE.


having found stray poodle sutlor-
ing from broken leg, conveyed
| the poor creature to his home, and
after setting and bardaging the
injured limb gave the little outcast
its liberty again, and thought no
moro about the matter. But how
great was his surprise, upon opeu-
ing his door one morning, some days
later, to find. tho grateful poodle
patiently waiting there, aud in is
company another stray dog, one of
whose legs, by some accident, had
been broken.
The next morning the benevolent
physician found the two dogs,
beaming with gratitude, waiting at
his door, and with them two other
dogs-cripples. The cripples were
speedily healed, and the four went
their way, leaving the benevo.en
physician more overcome by pious
wonder than ever. The day passed,
the morning came. There ut the
door sat now the four reconstructed
dogs, and with them four others
requiring reconstruction. This day
also passed, and another morning
came; and now sixteen dogs, eight
OF them newly crippled, occupied
the sidewalk, ard tho people wcro
going around. BY noon the broken
legs were all set, but the pious
wonder in the good physicians
breast was beginning to get mixed
with involuntary profanity The
sun rose onco more, and exhibited
thirty two dogs, sixteen OF them
with broken legs occupying the
sidewalk and half of the street the
human spectators took up the rest
of the room. The cries of the
wounded, the songs of the healed
brutes nd the comments of the
on looking citizens made great ami
inspiring cheer, but traffic was in
terrupted in that street. The
good physician hired a couple of
assistant surgeons and got through
his benevolent work before dark,
first taking The precaution to cancel
his church membership, SO that he
might express himself the latitude
which the case required.
But some things have their limit.
When once moro the morning
dawned and the good physician
looked out upon massel an! fur
reaching multitude of clalnorous
and beseeching dogs, he said: 81
might rs well acknowledge it, |
have been fooled by the books they
only tell the pretty part of the story
and then stop. Fetch me the shot
gun this thing has gone along
fir enough"
He issued forth with his weapon,
and Glanced to. step upon the tail
of the original. poodle, who prompts
ly bit him on the leg. Now the
great and good work which this
poodle had been engaged in bad
engendered in him such a mighty
and augmenting enthusiasm as to
turn his weak head at last and
drive him mad. A month later,
when the benevolent physiciun Law
in the death throes of hydrop hobia,
he called his weeping friends about
him and said :
"Beware of the books. They tell
but half of the story. Whenever a
poor wretch asks you for help and
you feel'a doubtas to what result
may flow from your bcncyolenco,
give yourself the benefit of the
doubt and kill the applicant"
And so saying, he turned his face
to the wall and gave up the ghost.

proposed One was to divide out
all the phosphate-bearing streams
among several mining companies,
giving to each the exclusive right
to certain territory. The other
scheme was to leave tho business
open to competition, so that any
individual might dig the rock on
payment of the royalty. The form
or measure passed, whether by tho
aid of a powerful lobby, rs was
charged, or not, we do not know.
It is alleged that since the ad
journmont of the Legislature
tho territory granted to certain of
the companies is worthless; and
that in reality all the privileges of
mining are cen tered in two or three
companies under the same control,
thus making an immense monopoly.
If this allegation is true the State.
may we'll be alarmed. For as the
coal companies of Pennsylvania
combine to regulate production
and force coal to an exorbitant
figure, so the phosphate monopoly
can produce just so much rock as
is necessary not to violate the
charters of the respective compa-
nies, and thus maintain tho price
at tho highest figure; whereas, by
allowing free competition the price
of the phosphates will be regulated
by the law of supply and demand.
The State desires not only to
utilize this dead capital but to
utilize it as rapidly as possible. A
monopoly prevents this. 1t is
argued that q large outlay Of
capital is requisite to carry on the
business, and that the State must
protect this capital by granting it
exclusive rights. On the other
hand there are instances where
private individuals with only a fat
and pair Of oyster tongs have
achieved All independence by
gathering the rock from the river
beds and selling it to tho factories.
It is absurd to say that every small
miner would establish his own
works. He would find it more
profitable to dry the rock and sell
it at the mills.
Besides, and above NIL this, is
the abstract principle that nonopo~
lies are q burden and curse to
every country that suffers them to
exist. The railroad monopoly, the
telegraph monopoly, the coal
monopoly, have wrought incalcula-
bic ruin upon the people at large,
and their effects should have
opened the eye OF the public long
ago This phosphate monopoly
appears to be another link in tho
lengthening chain that binds the
masses hand and foot. Some steps
should be taken to see that the
State suffers no detriment. Mass
meetings. have already been held in
Charleston and Beaufort, and a.
lively fight is promised in the
Legislature next fall. This phos-
phato business has been a job from
the first. We do not charge any
bad faith on the part Of the last
Legislature. They, doubtless, were
at sea, and voted in accordance
with the most plausible arguments
The eyes of all should, however,
now be opened. A good Legisla.-
ture will put down a monopoly
wherever it appears.
