THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

We are compelled to say that the Board
of Education is making very serious mis-
take in the course it is taking regarding
the competency of Mr.. Mcdonald. The
public meetings which are being held can
not develop anything but bad feeling.
They lead to personal quarrels, they en-
courage tendency to blind persecution,
they bring forward great mass of utterly
incoherent and perfectly valueless discus
sion, they obscure and confuse the real
issues, and they demoralize the whole edu-
cational system. If the Board really
wishes to determine this question ration
ally and finally, it will adopt the plan
which the RECORD UNION has suggested,
namely, procure the services of the Pro-
fessor of Mathematics in the State Uni
versity, and cause the first grade classes in
both the grammar schools to be examined
by that gentleman. In this way the COM
potency of Mr.. Mcdonald can be de-
termined in such manner that there will

rendered. There is no difficulty about
the plan. 1t is perfectly feasible.
But these desultory public meetings car
not produce any good results. They only
reveal the fact that a great many people
are incapable Of reasoning, and do not
know what evidence is. They show also
that there is far too much jealousy and i'll
feeling among members of the educational
department They develop tendency
towards fierce and unrcasoning aggression.
But they do not, and they cannot in the
nature OF things, so to the root of the
matter Mr. Mcdonald himself has ac-
cep.ed the proposition made by us, and the
Board ought in our opinion to take him at
his word, and invite Professor Welcl1er
here. II the pending free fight is suffered
to proceed much further the public schools
will suffer serious injury, and therefore the
people ought to join us in protesting
against the whole business as at present
conducted

THE OUTCOME OF The STRUGGLE

Ii we have warm welcome for the
victor in the contest at Chicago, we must
feel genuine sympathy for the van
pushed statesman who had the earnest
good wishes of California, but whose gal.
liant fight has resulted so disastrously for
him. Yet though it is inevitable that we
should regret the defeat of James G..
Blaine, that regret is tempered by the re-
lection that his sacrifice was the only
price at which the avoidance OF a still
worse evil could be purchased. 1t had
become evident that the defeat Of Grant
could only be accomplished through
union of the forces which were opposed
to him; and that no such union could be
effected upon Blaine. There were 40 votes
in the Convention which were anti Grant,
but it was impossible to unite them upon
Blaine. Under the circumstances, there
fore, delay could only attract more
strength to the Grant column, and there
was point beyond which i. was danger
Gus to allow this to proceed. Blaines
friends were the first TO recognize the i'm
possibility of securing the nomination for
him, and the popularity of Garfield was
shown by the CELEBRITY with which, when
the signal was once given, the anti
Grant strength conferred upon him.
The Grant managers made a des-
peratc fight, but victory was at
no time possible for them. and it would
have been most disastrous for the party
and the country had they been able to
carry out their programme. 1t was an au-
dacious attempt to dragon the party into
the acceptance of candidate it did not

want. It was carried cut with deter
mination which in better cause might
have commanded admiration, but which,
as the case stands, only emphasized the
danger of the plot. How momentous the
consequences which have thus fortunately
been ayerted, the country can never know
now; but the collapse of the Republicanpar-
ty threatened to be one of the least of the
evilsinvolved. Thepower the "machine "
in American politics eliminated here, and
it may be hoped that it will never again
play so sinister part. The attemptto erect
political Satrapships in three of the great
States has broken down, and the authority
and sovereignty of the people havebeen vim
dicated. General Grant must at last re-
gret the infatuation which led him to i'm
peril a splendid military reputation
by placing himself in the hands
of his ambitious, self-seeking, but
most unwise friends. He has not been
sought by the Presidency, but he. has
sought it, eagerly, persistently, importu-
nately and he has been rejected despite
every effort to coerce public opinion, and
to capture the working machinery OF the
Republican party. For his position there
will be many sincere regrets, but for those
who have sought to play this daring and
INSCRIPTIONS game in his name, there will
be only reproof and condemnation. They
have been taught that the Republican
party is greater than any man or set OF
men belonging to it T.; that it stands for the
will of the people; and that though it
may be persuaded, it cannot be driven.
They have learned that the "machine ="
cannot be made omnipotent that prin-
ciples and convictions cannot be disre
garded that when the people see reason
to apprehend dangerous changes in govern
mental policy they are strong enough
and determined enough to crush these
dangers in embryo. Let us hope that
the Senatorial Group will profit by
these lessons, and that they will
live to do much better service to the Re
publican party than they have lately been
contemplating. As to Mr.. Conkling, it is
true that he has for the second time de-
feated the nomination of Blaine, but he
has not much to congratulate himself upon,
after all is said, for Blaine in his turn has
defeated the Senator from New York, and
SO, being quits, they may perhaps afford to
bury the Ratchet. Putting aside these
almost personal quarrels, from which no
party has anything but mischief to antici-
pate, it must be said broadly that the out
come of the Chicago Convention is good
and salutary, and that it has put the Re-
publican party upon more assured basis
than it has occupied for some time past
There will be no talk of third candidates or
boltings now. The Liberal Republicans,
the Independents, all who vote the Repub-
lican ticket under any circumstances, in
fact, viii join in the support of James A.
Garfield, and We have no doubt that the
Senator from Maine will not only be among
the first to congratulate his distinguished
friend upon his nomination, but will enter
the campaign with his characteristic energy
and vigor, on his behalf

THE NATIONAL oomm1 rrFE.

The selection of Hon. Horace Davis as
the California member of the Republican
National Committee will be approved
very heartily by the party generally, for
it would not have been possible to make a
better choice Much relief will at the
same time be experienced because of the
elimination of Mr.. George C. Gorham from
the committee, and. in fact, FOR the gen.
era! collapse of that erratic and impudent
individuals programme. His occupation
is gone, with the disappearance OF the
Grant boom. His hops of a Cabinet pc
sition have faded into the dim distance,
He has but one more chance, and that is
the Democratic Convention at Cincinnati.
Nobody here would be much surprised if
he were to turn up next in that camp,
with a pocket-full Of characteristic cam
paign figures, as inevitably prcdestined to
qualification as all Mr.. Gorham's predic-
tons have hitherto proved

GENERAL ARTHUR FOR vICE-PREsI-
DENr

The Chicago Convention completed the
ticket yesterday by nominating General
Arthur Of New York for Vice President
This nomination is obviously 4 concession
to the Grant wing, and was doubtless IN
Bpired by the consideration that the vote
of New York this fall is absolutely essen
tial to the success of the Republican party.
General Arthur is warm personal friend
of Grant, has good military record, and
has occupied the position Of head OF the
New York Custom-house for some time.
His selection will prove very acceptable to
Mr. Conkling and his friends, and it is to
be hoped that it will have the effect aimed
at, of consolidating and Strengthening the
Republican vote in New York.

THE DRAINAGE COMMISSIONERS.

The Governor has appointed W. f.
Knox of Sacramento, w. II. Parks of Yuba,
and Niles Searles of Nevada county, Com
missioners under the drainage law. We
think all OF these appointments are judi
cious and satisfactory. The three gentle
men named are capable, energetic, and
thoroughly competent in all ways. NJ.
Knox and Mr.. Parks possess special quail
fications for the work TO be done, aud Mr..
Searles is not less fitted for the duties OF
the office. We have no doubt that the
new Commissioners will proceed without
delay to put the law in operation, and that
they will give good account of their
stewardship when the time comes.

his sentence, which cannot be less than one
nor more than ten years in San Quentin.

PORTLAND, June Sth.-The election news
from the State comes in very slowly, and full
returns will probably not be received before
Friday or Saturday. From the returns al
ready received it is settled that the entire
Republican State ticket is elected. The Re-
publican counties heard from give increased
majorities. Multnomah county gives an
average majority on the Republican ticket of
about S25, whereas it was claimed by only
500 The State ticket west of the
Cascade mountains is about 1000 ahead,
and the counties east will reduce it
to about 1000. Sufficient returns have
been received to indicate the election
of three Republican JUICES of the Supreme
Court-W. P. Lord, John B. Waldo and E.
B. Watson-by majority of about 800. NJ.
C. George has been elected to Congress by a
majority of not less than 1000. The COM
plexion Of the next Legislature cannot be
ascertained, but good Republican judges
claim it for the Republicans, which is con-
coded by tie moderate Democrats. In this
county the entire Republican ticket is elected
by from 80 to $50 majorities Sheriff Buch-
tel, ON whom the principal fight was made, is
the lowest on the list.

Miner Instantly Killed. Rebuilding O
singular Case Death OF the White wife
of i Naturaiizea Chinaman.

CORTLAND, June Sth.-To-day there died
in this place white woman, who was mar
ried to Chinaman. They were married in
Cincinnati, O., in 1876, by Vincent Schwat,
Justice Of the Peace. The woman's name
before marriage was Sarah n. Braun, her
father being at one time merchant of high
standing in Chicago and was also owner of
considerable property in Louisville, Ky. The
woman was of very progressing appearance,
and was but p years of age, being married
when but IL. One of the remarkable circum-
stances connected with the affair is that her
husband, Joe Sing, is naturalized citizen of
the United States, and is in possession of his
naturalization papers, granted him in Cincin-
natl in 1876, and signed by Isaac B. Matson,
Judge OF the Probate Court of Cincinnati,
and has the seal of said Court thereon. The
unforturat ate woman arrived here last night,on
the steamer Onward from San Francisco.
She was in the habit of taking morphine, con-
Stunning regularly an eighth of an ounce
week. When seen by your reporter she was
lying on pile of straw in a Chinese house,
and had been dead about five minutes, her
death being caused by congestion of the brain.
