SMALL HOPES.

Mr.. Weaver, the Greenbacl6 candidate,
says that he expects to throw the election
for President into the House. On that
ground he builds all his hopes. and on the
vote OF the righteous De La AIatyr of In
diana rests his hope after he gets it to the
House. Now no one can be voted for in
the House unless he shall have obtained
some Electoral votes. Viewers chances,
therefore, are more than slim, for unless he
gets some Electoral vote Garfield or Han
cock must be chosen, as 369 cannot be
evenly divided. Peter Cooper in 1876,
when Greenbackism was something, got
no Electoral vote. Where Mr. Weaver ex-
poets to obtain that ticket of admission to
the House is as yet a mystery.

to come here in July his visit has been
deferred until the later date for the

especially of the Society, having acknowl-
edged an invitation to that effect Presi-
dent Hayes will be the first Chief Magis-
trate of the Union who has ever set foot
upon these western shores. It's fitting that
the President should be received and enter

State of California 1t therefore behooyes
the State Agricultural Society and the citi-
zens of the capital city to take proper ac-
ton in the premises, and in simple, digni-
fed and appropriate manner welcome the
chief officer of the republic. That this
will be done, and with good taste and
broad handed hospitality, we do not for
moment doubt.

RUSSIA IN tbs PACIFIC.

Russia is gradually collecting powerful
ironclad navyin the Pacific ocean. She is
sending out ship after ship, and in short
time she viii have ten or dozen large
war vessels, and considerable number of
torpedo boats here. The presumption of
course is that this navy is to be employed
against China, in the event of war with
that power. Rassia, however, has long
harbored designs ON the Pacific coast. She
has acquired the Island OF Saghalien as
DEPOT and place of confinement for such of
her political prisoners az it is not thought
cxpedient to send TO Siberia. Il is be.
lieved that she covets further japanese
territory, and that she would not be sorry
for an excuse to make war upon that pow
er. Therefore while the presence OF Russia
IN the Pacific may seem of little signif.
canoe just now, there is always reason to
apprehend the plans OF aOwer as I'M
scrupulous and restless as she is rapacious
and grasping. a war between Russia and
China in the Pacific would moreover be
disastrous to American commercial inter
ests, and might not improbably destroy
that growing traffic which it has taken so
long to establish. in fact civilization has
nothing to expect and much to dread from
such war, and if our Government can ex-
ercise any influence in this case, it ought
to exert itself on behalf OF peace.

THE MEMPHIS EXPERIMENT.

AS the burned child breads the fire, so
Memphis, after having quite thoroughly
cleaned her own skirts, sets up quaran-
tine guard against New Orleans, where
Yellow Jack has e,ade his appearance, and
proposes to rigidly enforce an order of the
local Board of Health prohibiting the intro
duction of goods from New Orleans liable
to carry with them the seeds OF the dreaded
disease. 1t will now be seen whether
cleanliness, observance OF sanitary laws and
the enforcement OF. the order, protects
Memphis. If SO, it will prove quite con-
clusively that in the past the city has per-
mitted Thousands of her people to die sim
ply for want OF ordinary precautions
against preventable disease.

The property tax in New Zealand is

SHALLOW REASONS.

The San Jose Herald thinks the defeat
of General Grant at Chicago was taken as
personal insult by his supporters, and
that they viii now leave the Republican
party. and in a long editorial shows why
they should do it for spite This is the
sheerest nonsense Of course no one is the
keeper of the conscience of General Grants
friends, but to assume that their Repub-
hcanis,n has so little ballast as to be upset
by a defeat in contest between four
or more. where all knew but one
could win, is an insult to the intelligence
of the men. The truth is, the support
ers of General Grant are Republicans of
Steiner stuff than many others, as we read
their records, and they are, and will be
found among the most ardent advocates of
the ticket which the majority made and to
which they gave in their adhesion with
sincerity. The attempt to coax men
into the Democratic camp by such
statements as the Herald makes is con-
fession of weakness In support of its
"idea " it quotes from Forney, whom, it
is alleged, has gone over to the Democracy.
Forney is but authority for himself. Sup
pose Republicans should hold that a large
faction of the Democratic party was CON-
ing over to General Garfeld's support be-
cause of the defeat of Thurman or Tilden
would anything be considered more alb
surd ! And suppose that in support
Republicans should quote the detection of
that prominent Ohio Democrat, Alex. Fer
guson? Mr.. Ferguson, by the way, has
announced that he will support Garfield
for the Presidency, and being asked for
his reasons, gives the following Taking
g the very narrowest view of the func-
:" tions Of the executive, the President of
such a republic needs to be not simply
an able or honest man, but one of the
master politicians of the time. There is
not much likelihood of such politicians
finding election to the Presidency easy
in our day, but l do sincerely believe
strong move in that direction has been
made in the nomination of General Gar
" field that he belongs to an order Of
linen whom the people have to be per-
"suaded to favor and elevate and that
"the selection of another soldier now
"would be distinct step backward
toward somewhat barbaric theory of
government. Is it not time the war
"' drum throbbed no longer and the battle
rs flags were furled,' even though the

distant"

ANTIoUAFED TEXTBOOKS.

A slight examination of several of the
text books which have been introduced to
the public schools recently confirms the
impression which we before entertained
that under the new Constitution it would
be hopeless to expect intelligent selections
in this regard. 1t must however be said
that the blame is not entirely attributable
to those who have had the choice of books.
The fact is that the compilers of textbooks
are with few exceptions unpreparel to
utilize the newest and most important dis
covenes of science and historical research.
For the most part they prefer to keep on in
the old beaten track, and the result is that
the textbooks are in many respects singu-
larry behind the age We see the effects
of this fossilism very plainly in the methods
of teaching ancient history, for example.
The books which are placed in the hands
of our children are Anticipated and incor-
rect, and are calculated to give them alto
gether wrong ideas What, for instance,
can we think of 4 textbook which retains
the fantastic and preposterous chronology
of Archbishop usher, and which dis
cusses the NoacGian Flood, the building
of the Tower of Babel. the Noachian
genealogy. with all the solemnity due to
historical facts But perhaps the oldest
feature OF the affair IS the attempt of these
book-makers TO introduce some recog-
milton OF modern historical discoveries, the
result being to bring the chronological cor
illusions of advanced students into the
most bewildering collision with orthodox
fables. We are afraid to contemplate the
mental condition of the children whose
fate it is to derive their notions of ancient
history from such sources 1t is certainly
time that systematic effort was made to
lay before the rising generation the latest
and best results Of modern scholarship, and
there are few studies in which more radical
amendments are called for than in that of
ancient history. The Importance of i'm
planting correct ideas concerning the past
at the outset of the educational career can
hardly be overestimated The mischief
caused by the fabulous accounts which the
Old books teach is very serious It inter
feres with subsequent acquisition of more
accurate knowledge, at the best, and at
the worst it closes the mind against the
reception Of sober facts We pay enough
for our scheols to be entitled to demand
the best that can be had for our money.
At present We are not getting it in the
textbooks. One reason IS that the persons
intrasted with the selection of textbooks
are not capable of forming an intelligent
Judgment in the premises. and another
reason IS that the compilers of tue books
are for the most part men Of merely me-
ehanical cast of mind The result, how
ever, is the same, namely, that the chill
dren are taught many things which are
untrue, and some which are absurdly so.

THE Unit RULE. - What's this unit
rule the politicians talk about?" asked
Jones of Colonel Scion. a It's this way, !"
said the Colonel: If you approve the
unit rule you vote to have every man vote
the same way every time. It's mighty
convenient, as you'll see, if You ever 60 on
delegation / was on one wInst, an we
had the unit rule resolution solid, so when
| SEE vote the delegation take suthin', of
course they all had to vote the same way,
an nobody could dissent, an | don't be-
lieve they would nuther if the rule hadn't
been in force But it makes it more solid,
you see, and your chairman can have the
whole sam put down on the slate eastern
he could if we were all divided an was
takin' drinks with every other candidate.
Sides, yer see one candidate can't come in
an ask just one or two up for a drink, fur
it woaldn't do any good, because of the
unit rule so he'll have to ask tie whole
caboodle an no favor. ;"

sUPERINFEEDENF Of SCHOOLS.

The Superintendent of Schools should
be appointed to his office-not elected.
This truth has recently been practically
demonstrated here. a Beard OF Edaca-
ton net in harmony with its Superinten-
dent labors under great disabilities. a
Superintendent not IN harmony with the
Board Of which be is quasi member is
almost powerless. The Board of Educa-
ton is the supervising body, the Superin-
tendent the supervising officer. Each of
these authorities. in this city, derive their
powers from the people direct, by virtue of
election. Each is independent of the
other. The slightest disagreement puts
these two at cross purposes, and the result
always has been, and always VIII be injury
to the schools. The very basis of the
Quincy system is found IN the power of the
supervising Board to name the Superin-
tendent, who serves at the pleasure of the
body and becomes the executive officer of
the Board OF course such an officer will
be IN harmony with the Board, Tor lnhar-
mony will insure his dismissal Thus, a
Board OF Education having determined
upon system, method of work, Is quite
certain to have it carried out. As it is
here, however, the Superintendent is an in
dependent officer with a voice in the
Board but without vote. lie has certain
prerosatives which the Board cannot affect,
and it has legislative powers over which he
has no veto. His duties are defined by the
law, and the Board cannot vary, though it
may add to them. We submit that this
whole system is wrong, and probably no
one more fully reelizes it or will more
readily acknowledge it, than the Superin-
tendent in Sacramento, and the Board Of
Education OF this city.
