rur County School superintcpden,

The County School Superintendent
has advertised for proposals to supply
the Public Schools Of Los Angeles
county with new set Of school books
We believe that this action Is requisite
Of the law, and that no other Alternative
but to so advertise is left open to that
official. He has taken the trouble to in
form us that this is the case, and he has
doubtless carefully examined the statute
in that case made and provided. twill
be, in our opinion, a great pity If the
present, in the main, excellent set oil
text books, is made TO give place to an'
other. "Hold fast to that which il
good" applies to more things than to the
traditions OF the church. We see nc
reason why the school books now used
in Los Angeles county should not be re-
adopted. Any capricious change OF the
texts at present in use will be met with
spirit Of lively indignation by the pco-
pie at large. These remarks apply as
well to the City as TO the County Board
Of Education, the former also advertis-
ing for proposals for school books. We
are getting along pretty well as the mat'
ter now stands.

KllIea BY a prunl.. c.mp.nlon

TucsoS, April l6.-From private In.
formation 1t Is learned that on Monday
last Charles King and Billy Kegan left
Crittenden in a wagon, having in their
possession n shotgun. They were both
under the influence Of liquor and were
going toward the Pennsylvania Ranch.
After time Kegan returned
with the body of King, whose head
was nearly blown of. Kegan was too
drank to relate the circumstances CON
nected with the affair. He was imme-
diately placed under arrest. 1t is sup
posed that the killing was purely acci.
dental. King was formerly Sheriff Of
Placer county, Cal. He has been in the
Territory a number of y,ars. Ho was
owner of the Harshaw townsite,
and Mud considerable mining interests
OF late he was much given to drink.

The Renaissance of Thomas Mast as u
contributor to the columns of Harpers
Weekly is one of the saddest things with
which either the tongue or pen Of man
ever concerned itself. He is wreck as
pitiable as was Belisarius wien, blind
and degraded, he sat at the gates of By
zantium and besought an obolus from
the contemptuous passer-by. In com
parison with the bright sallies of the
staff of Puck, his efforts Mt caricature are
jejune and feeble. One cannot help ask
ing ones self whether, in truth, this is
the man whose malignant but versatile
talent had carried pain to the hearts of
SO many? His most malevolent efforts
were directed against Horace Greeley
whom he undoubtedly helped to kill,
and Samuel j. Tilden, whose calm com
posure, in smiling at undisguised and im-
potent malice, never deserted him for n
day OF his life. Ii the Hapers are
obliged to pay for the present imbecile
performances of Mast, it is righteous
judgment. The Nemesis, though de
ferred, has come at last!

WELL balanced people Of all parties
will be apt to unto in the opinion that
meetings held to threaten legislators are
unwise and to be deprecated. Extreme
caution ought to be exercised in the
selection of candidates for the Senate
and Assembly, but there is no right in
hcrcnt in the vster TO regard his repre-
sentative as q bond slave. AS for the
stuff about marching to Sacramento and
hanging members who choose to respond
to the dictates OF their individual con-
sciences, it sounds like n refrain Of the
Dennis kearney days.

Mn. Bon LINCOLN is said 10 be very
indignant because his name is mentioned
for the second instead of the first place
on the Republican ticket. 1t is query
as to whether this callow politician
knows the roster of illustrious men who
have filed this office. Here and there n
nincompoop has crept into il, and the son
of his father would make formidable
addition to the short list OF these wor-
thies The position is far too good for

PROBABLY the extraordinary vaunting
with which the Republicans OF Los An
geles county entered into the campaign
of 1882 is remembered by many of our
people. We were assured then that the
majority for their ticket would be inn
mense, because all the newcomers were
Republicans, and 50 ON, I'D nduSeam. AS
O result, the lines were strictly drawn
and the Democratic ticket was elected
by the largest majority recorded in Los
Angeles county in the last decade. 1t is
pretty safe thing to apply the same
test this year. The Democrats are doing
very little Dragging, but they can be re-
lied upon to do great deal of very solid
and effective work when the time comes.
1t may not be amiss to remind the over
confident Republicans, who are ignorant
OF the uniform miscarriage of their party
in this county, of that passage OF the old
Testament which runs something like
this: 'Lst not him that putteth on his
armor vaunt himself like him that put.

Military Discipline.

The following characteristic story is
told of the commander -in-chief of the
French army in the Crimea: "Some
years ago Pelissier, on parade one morn
ing. got angry with sous.oficier of q
cavalry regiment, whose tenue seemed to
him very defective. He abused the man
most violently and cut him across the
face with whip. The man seized one
of his pistols and endeavored to fire at
his commanding officer, but the pistol
missed fire. Pelisser, swearing fearful
oath, but other wise calm, said: "Fel
low, order you three-days' arrest for
not having your arms in better order

WHENCE comes the divorce between
Robert G. Ingersoll and James G.
Blaine. Whe fails to recall the cpl
and eloquent speech in which Robert G i.
placed James G. in nomination in the
Chicago Convention! We suspect that
the true solution of the boss" infidel s
sudden apparent GOODNESS to Blaine lies
in the fact that the Maine statesman
courts the support Of the religious ele-
ment OF the country, and he has tipped
the wink to Ingersoll to let up on his
effusive devotion. There is decided
method in this apparent alienation OF
these bosom friends.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR as II candidate for
reelection does not seem to be making
verysolid headway. The office-hoding
brigade are making a terrible fuss over
him; but, TO adopt sporting phrase,
Arthur is Presidential nag which may
be described as showing more action
than 90.

Brother Blaine would appear to have
. cock-sure walk over ON the Republican
nomination for President. II we were
Interested In the success of the Republi-
can ticket, and were admitted to the
Banhedrlm-to the very penetralia OF
the councils Of the Republican party-we
should say. "don't nominate the Pumed
Knight After all, the history of
Henry Of Navarro was not very happy
one. The exigencies of his situation
compelled him to exemplify the service
ablsnsss Of the standard set up by St.
Paul, Of being "all things to all men"
He boxed the whole compass Of con-
cossions, religious and political, and was
at last tho victim OF the assassin Ravail-
lac. The fact that the body Of this
enthusiast was torn into pieces by four
horses does not, In any respect, lessen
the melancholy features OF Henry's
career. Blaine will have similar ex-
perlence, without the personal violence
Incident to the earlier age. Like the
Berncse hero, he has troops OF friends
~ well as implacable enemies. His fol
lowers have been nearly numerous enough
to assure his nomination twice in our later
history. This tine they may make the
rifle and present the author of the Null
ligan letters in the attitude before the
country which will give his foes the
chance Of stabbing him between the
fourth and fifth ribs. That they will
avail themselves Of this opening need
not be doubted. II is well understood
that Blaine cannot carry New York.
II Is exceedingly doubtful whether
he can carry Massachusetts,. His
strength on the Pacific Coast is
undoubtedly owing to his ready
and enthusiastic championship of the
aspirations OF this section on the Chi
nese question, but the fact must be
borne in mind that, though Hayes re-
ceived the electoral votes of California,
Nevada, Oregon and Colorado, it was
necessary to steal for him the electoral
votes Of Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina--ninetaen in all-in order to
give him false majority of one in the
electoral colleges. No Democrat should
regret the nomination of Blaine. In
fact, there is hardly Republican who
could be nominated that would not ex-
cite very marked antagonisms in his
party. While the principle of the CO.
hesive power Of public plumber is all
that is left to the Republicans, it is
doubtful whether they can again be raj
lied to the polls as homogeneous organ
ization. just now Roscoe Conklins
seems to have very few friends. 1t is
undoubtedly case of the sleeping lion.
The Stalwarts of New y ork, in defeating
Hustled. showed that they were quite as
potential as were the Half-Brceds in an.
Initiating Folger year later. That
there is the slightest surcease of these
envenemed animosities in the God and
Morality party let no man believe. 1t
is almost impossible to nominate Re.
publican who can carry New York, yet
the electoral vote of New York will I'M
questionably decide the issue of the en-.
suing Presidential election. The DEM
ocrats. on the other hand, have abakers
dozen of candidates who could sweep
the Empire State like cyclone.
