then why not in Brightoni The
standard, it may be, is higher but is
not that an advantage? For, if a
teacher has to SoOrk to pass an examina-
ton, she will be likely TO appreciate
her certificate enough to teach more
than a single term.
Then, why should teachers, after
having passed one satisfactory exami-
nation, be obliged to take another,
any more than doctors, lawyers, and
apothecaries? How band of teach
ers who had passed through many a
fiery furnace-in shape of examina-
tions-would enjoy questioning a COM
pany of lawyers or doctors on subjects
of which they fought to know"
Some people argue, that by the ex-
aminations, teachers are kept from
growing rusty. But, if this is the only
way by which they can keep abreast
with the times, they should giveup
that most delightful task, to rear the
tender thought"
What can't be cured must be en-
dured.' Since then teachers must
take an examination each spring, might
not few changes be made to varytbe
monotopy? 1t is, to be sure, quite
needfHl to know the leading events of
all our country's history but is it
necessary to know all the particulars
of every affray, outburst, and raid
that occurred? Why not leave out of
consideration in written examination,
at least, those minor points which are
so often brought into other studies as
wnn nietoryH surely ten practical,
important questions might be prepared
on each subject and put in clear and
concise language.
Since teachers ability does not lie
wholly in her knowledge of books, a
few practical questions on the govern
ment of school, as we'll as the ex-
PLANTATION of certain difficult points,
might be introduced.
a teacher in Primary school is of
more value to the school if she thor
oughly understands how to give the
children their first lesson in Reading,
or interest them in Spelling and
Arithmetic, than if she is able to

tial Payments or Stocks. Happy is
she, however, who can pass through
Stocks unfiinchingly.
The teacher should also know OF the
important current events, and it would
be an incentive to read the newspapers
more carefully, if q few questions were
given each spring on the history of
the past year. 1t may be that some
might be like the scholar who could
give an important event in every
administration but that of Hayes.
which he knew nothing of, because it
was not in his text book.
If teacher is conversant on the
interests of our land, and those of
foreign countries, she may interest her
scholars in useful reading Of the news
papers ; for, sit is not SO much what |
one learns from text books as what he
reads, that influences his life"
The Metric System and Spelling
Reform should not be forgotten by
either teacher or school board. If
the Metric System is to come into use
as soon as prophesied by some, it
should be taught in schools now and
all should know of the Spelling Re
'orm, for its advocates feel certain of O.
evolution in spelling in coming years.
Let, then, the yearly examinations
be both pleasant and profitable to
teachers and examiners. Pc. N.

tiers the wockingmen by telling them
that the Democracy will protect them
equally against g cormorants and COM
munists. And appeals to the Pacific
coast with an anti-Chinese plank propos-
ing restriction of Chinese immigration by
amendment OF the Burlingame treaty.
The fraud question is referred to, and
Tilden eulogized, but of course all this
has lost significance since the nominations,
which are the most emphatic rejection of
that issue, and the most unanswerable
reply to this part Of the platform. There
is nothing in the latter which has any hold
upon the country, because the Democrats
have VIGOROUSLY shelved all their sound
principles since they came into power in
Congress. They talk of free ships and
free trade, but they have refused to raise
a finger to bring about any reform in either
direction. They pretend to favor honest
money, but they have done nothing to
bear out that pretense. Their actions have
belied all their professions, in fact, and
therefore the country will take this new
platform for what it is worth, and that is
just nothing at all. The Democracy will
be judged, not by what it says, but by
what it does, and it has not thus far even
shown the least disposition to put its fine
principles into practice.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-06-25
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Platforms do not count for much nova
days, for the people have seen too many of
them in succession trampled upon after
election. II is not often that the acts of
party correspond at all with its professions,
and there is no exception to the rule in the
work of the Cincinnati Convention. The
Democratic platform favors honest money,
though it takes care not to define this
phrase too clearly, being afraid to lose all
hold upon the Greenbackers 1t demands
subordiuation of the military to the civil
power, which is apparently stray prop
osition from the platforms OF the antidelu-
Wan era. 1t favors genuine and thorough
civil service reform, which is as antago-
ristic to Democratic theory and practice as
anything can be, and which everyone
knows would have no chance of introduc.
ton under Democratic administration.
How much the Democrats believe in civil
service reform was shown by their action
when they got control of the House of
Representatives, and instantly proceeded
to fill all the offices on the most rigid par
tisan principles. The platform further
demands free ships, which is sound, 1t
puts in a doubtful ard by no means
earnest plea for free trade. Opposes
discrimination in transportation. But

TILDEE's DEF EAT,

Whether he so intended it or not, Mr..
race has proved real and final There ap-
pears ground for the belief that lie ex-
pected at least TO name the successful can
didate, and many believed that despite his
letter of declination he was prepared to
take advantage of the first opportunity to
press his own claims again. But the op-
portunity never came. Perhaps there has
never been an instance OF so prevalent an
apprehension as his manipulation caused,
or OF so slight performance when his
strength came to be tested. No doubt
this may be explained by the hypothesis
that his letter of declination was sincere,
and that after writing it he abandoned all
attempts to influence the Democratic
counseis. Bat certainly those who were
on the ground believe that he had not
really withdrawn, and that he was using
MS utmost endeavors to disorganize the
Convention, in his own interest. His elm
ination from the campaign undoubtedly
destroys the fraud issue, and there is
something ludicrous in the attempt of
6he Democrats to retain hold upon
this fas. disappearing grievance by
sandwiching in the platform u reso.
luton expressive Of profound esteem
Tor the man who had been so
sternIy sat down upon by the Conven-
tion. The New Yorl; SIN was quite right
in saying that unless Tidan was nom
mated the " fraud issue must be dropped.
1t has to be dropped now, FOR the party
has formally repudated its martyr, and
renowned his claims with scant courtesy.
Having thus turned its back upon what it
until recently affected to regard as It's
main dependence, and having donned a
new disguise for the campaign, the Democ-
racy must not be surprised if its former
character is inquired into sharply, and If it
is denied the privilege OF making it's own
staae il this connection. Mr.. Tilden,
however, has probably left the political
stage for good. 1t Will no longer be of
any general concern to ascertain whether
his health is breaking whether his palsy
disabIes him, whether his memory is fail
ing, and SC forth. Once more he viii en-.
joy the satisfaction, If such it be, of being
let alone. The intcrviewers will shun him.
The able editor will no longer use him to
point a moral OF adorn tale. He and the
great fraud issue sink out of sight together,
for his party has declared in the most
practical and expressive way that it does
not believe he was cheated out OF the
Presidency, or that he deserves to be
nominated again.

REASONABLE WORDS

.1sdge Beldcns remarks in sentencing
Otto, the convicted cx County Treasurer OF
Santa Cruz county, deserve to be pre-
served lie ead g. For this crime there
c-u be 10 other class OF offenders It is
So 10 good character and reputed integrity
only that sach positions of trust and
responsibility are conided. 1t is to
good character that tie opportunity is
oGe7ed ior such transgressions, and when
s'iound 20 be a sham aud a dclusion its
" shaiiovncss should not shield It from
meritsd punishment 1t is time this
view Of such crimes was generally accepted,
for ii IS scarcely possible to overestimate
the generalization which has been pro
dueed in society by the prevalent tendency
to palliate offenses which because of the
previous character of the offenders are the
more objectionable. This tendency in
fact has beyond doubt done much to sug-
gest the stimulation of probity for sinister
ends. Rogues have found an assump-
ton of virtue capital screen for vice,
and the weakness and irrationalty Of the
public have actually helped some of
the worst scoundrels to escape from
Justice. The man who, being trusted be-
cause OF the general confidence in his
honesty, betrays that trust and steals, is
& far worse criminal than the common thief
who robs systematically and without any
pretense OF virtue. Yet i is undeniab,e
that whenever case of this kind occurs
there are plenty of reputable people ready
to defend and excuse the offender, and to
point to the past record, which really aggra-
Yates the crime, az a reason for leuient
treatment. The truth is that all such be-
trayals of trust ought to be punished with
the utmost severity of the law, and that the
respectable thief should have no mercy
shown HIM SO common has it become TO
seek for sympathy for official defaulters
Shat it may almost be said We have one
law for the rich and another for the poor
1t is necessary that public opinion in this
regard should be lifted ont of the slough
into which it has fallen, and we know of
nothing more likely TO bring about the de-
sired change than such practical and sensi-
BILE remarks as Judge Belden made upon
this occasion.

THE WATER QUESTION.

We have already referred in our local
columns to the very unpleasant taste and
smell of the water with which the city is
at present being supplied. The matter is,
however, too important to be dismissed,
and we therefore ask the Superintendent
of the Water Works to take measures to
ascertain the cause of this nuisance, and
to remove it. The water IN all parts of
the city for some days past has been I'M
qualiiedly nasty, offensive both in taste
and odor, and strongly suggestive of
sewage or other unwholesome impurities.
We do not believe that such water can be
used by the community without great
danger OF contracting disease, and there
fore We must insist that some steps be
taken without delay to remedy the evil.

QUICK WORK.

With all their confusion at the outset
the Democrats were very quick in making
decision when once an Indication of the
drift of sentiment had been given. Han
cock was nominated on the second ballot,
and received 70l votes, while English was
almost nominated by reclamation. The
majority of the delegates were probably
so delighted to be able to liberate them
selves from the clutches of Tilden that
they were willing to unite upon any man
who was unconnected with that dreaded
manipulation. Hancock was not very en-
Enthusiastically regarded by the Southern
delegates, but they took him, no doubt
