No JEFFERsONIAN Democrat can de-
fend public school system on prin-
clple, and the theory is only tolerated
because negroes were suddenly thrust
into citizenship and their votes into
ballot-boxes. Then everybody assent
ed to the necessity for the education
of these countless cClored voters.
Since failure in the accomplishment of
any beneficent result is universally
confessed, the scheme should be aban-
doned, and if we must fee an army of
school teachers it will cost less to have
another hospital reared for their MAN.
tenance, three months each year, on
the summit of Mt. Bonnell, than have
them boarded by private citizens at
public cost. J. J.fferson's maxim, con-
stituting the whole theory and sum
and substance of Democracy, was that
''the government is best which gov
erns least" and no government which
interposes and takes charge of the
children Of the family and trains them
as its own is or can be republican.
Baptists have their own colleges and
schools, as do Catholics, and the
learned priests of all the churches in
sist that each father should direct and
control the education of his own son.
Popular liberty and popular freedom
of thought and opinion demand the
separation of church and State and for
the same reason of schools and the
State. Texas does enough for the
popular education when it gives each
family its inaltenable homestead and
so, 600, 600 acres of land for school

THE people of Texas, to the extent
that they are brave and self-reliant,
and cannot be converted by unwise
Legislation into miserable mendicsnts,

IT WERE wiser to have no law ".H
a good one unenforced. People aIe
taught in the latter case to disregard
the law and lose respect for govern
ment and for all laws. Therefore it
were wise, perhaps, in Williamson
county, to repeal the local option pro-
hibition. But this necessity for re-
peal constitutes terrible criticism
upon the conduct of those whose duty
it was to enforce the country's laws.

THE less government undertakes
the more good it achieves. That gov
ernment is best which governs least.
EAch family should be pure republic
and each child should ever confess its
perfect allegiance to the household.
Otherwise the State, whatever its name
and forms, becomes despotism.

A merchant doing business near
the foot of Jefferson avenue used to
spend about half his time in ex-
planning to callers why he could
not sign petitions. lend small sums,
buy books or invest in moonshine
enterprises, but that time has
passed, and it now takes him only
two minutes to get rid of the most
persistent case. Yesterday a man
called to sell him a map of Michi-
gan. He had scarcely made known
his errand when the merchant put
on his hat and said:
"Come along and I'll see about
It,"
He led the way to a boiler shop,
two blocks distant, wherein u hun
dred hammers were pounding at
iron, ami walking to the center of
the shop and into the midst of the
deafening racket he turned to the
agent and kindly shouted:
"Now, then, ii you know of any
special reasons why | should pur-
chase map Of Michigan please
state them at length"

They see that, just as they thought
that they had arranged for a "walk-
over" next year, elements are ar
ranging themselves against the
Republican party which will prob
ably assure the State to the DEM
ocracy. No one knows better
than the average Republican ed
itor that George G. Perkins, though
elected Governor, was in a large
minority of the popular vote.
A bit of political gossip reaches
me which 1 give for what it is
worth. 1t is that Gov. Irwin. in
making this overture to the Work
ingmen, really had his eye on be-
ing the joint candidate of the DEM
ocrats and Workingmen for the
United States Senate. OF course
such insinuations are to be taken
with several grains of salt. I be-
lieve the Governor was actuated
solely by what he regarded as like
ly to result In benefit to a party
which has highly honored him.
There are a great many knowing
politicians here who look upon
Chief Justice Wallace as the COM
| ing Senatorial "dark horse.'
Should Judge Wallace manage, by
any combination of circumstances
to carry off the prize, California
would indeed have Senator to be
proud of. J. d. l..

A LONG SWIM.
Captain Webb Coming to California 10 Display
His Skill.

Just now an event is being eager
ly looked forward to, that is to
create new interest in the art of
swimming. Captain Webb, the
champion swimmer of the world,
will be in California, in few
weeks, and will give some eXhibi-
tions of his skill, and If any are
found bold enough to compete with
him, he will show us how much
there is yet for us to learn in the
art of swimming. In modern times
Webb was the first to excite any
interest III a test of endurance in
the water. In 1874 Webb, then
twenty-six years of age, swan ten
miles, from Foikestone TO the
Varne buoy, and was four hours
and half in the water. His next
long swim was twenty miles, from
Blackwall Pier to Gravesend,
which he accomplished in four
hours forty-two minutes and forty
four seconds. He then conceived
the bold idea of swimming across
the Channel, and started
from Dover. He made eight
cen miles in six hours and
forty-five minutes, but the sea
grew too rough and he was taken
into boat that accompanied him.
But in the same month-August,
1S75-he succeeded in crossing from
Dover to Calais in less than twen-
ty-two hours, the tide sweeping
him about fifty miles in a zigzag
course. Such performances are
something extraordinary and as yet
no one has equalled them. There
Is, however, an Oakland youth who
proposes to test his skill alongside
that of Webb's. He is certainly
the fastest swimmer on the coast,
and also promises great endurance
for long distances. If match
takes place, which is pretty certain
to be the case, the course will be,
in all probability, from Hunters
Point to Long Wharf. This, with
an ebb tide, would give the swim
mers about ten miles to cover. The
Oakland swimmer does not feel
competent to assay any contest of
over ten miles, and for that dis
tance considers that he has bottom
and speed enough to stand fair
chance of carrying off some laurels.
