F,sYrRaAs's LUcK-The Virginia CITY

F1sHERMAN's LUcK.-The Virginia City
Chronicle says that ]. c. Frazer, employed
by the California Fish Commissioners to
collect trout spawn at Lake Tahoe for the
Shelley State Hatchery in Nevada county,
reports having been extremely unfortunate
in his undertaking, as, for some unex-
planned cause, the trout have abandoned
the streams where they were most plentiful
in former seasons. A car containing sew
eral thousand fine fish was lately broken
by a steamer running into it, so it is
doubtful if he can succeed in collecting
the quantity of ova required. He has
placed about 10000 land-locked salmon in
Tahoe and Bonner Lakes, which were
Matched at the Shelley Hatchery. He also
has ready for distribution 1000 trout from
Boards United States Hatchery, part of
which will be sent to the middle fork OF
the American river, Placer county. The
residents around Tahoe have applied for
some California salmon, and Mr.. Frazer is
making arrangements to procure the ova.

THE SAFEST PART OF CARA party
of merchant travellers in passenger coach
were talking over their travelling expe-
rience and the danger of accidents, and
finally the question arose as to the safest
part of the car. Failing to settle the ques-
ton among themselves, they called upon
the conductor, and one of them said to
him: Conductor, We have been discussing
the matter of the safest part of the car, and
want TO know your opinion" Want to
know the safest, ell ?" replied the conduc-
tor. "Yes, that's it," Well" replied

A CLEAN NOMINEE.

Sacramento county did not receive, as she
| believed to be her due, the compliment OF
| nomination of her distinguished favorite
| for Congress. But Sacramento recognizes
| in Mr.. Mckenna an opponent to Mr.. Edger-
ton for the honor, who was worthy his
steel And the choice having fallen upon
Mr.. McKenna he will find that the Repub-
| licans of Sacramento county will give him
hearty support. There is nothing in the
composition of the Republicans of this sec
ton of the nature of soreheadedness. Mr..
McKcnna is a gentleman; he is an honor
able man; Il conscientious man citizen
of broad views his tastes are refined; his
impulses are manly his morals are sound;
his personal character is irreproachable;
his mentality is quick and vigorous; his
requirements are scholarly; his perceptions
are clear, and his judgment moves upon
the plane of justice. Like every man, he
may be at times moved by prejudice some
what, since not one man living is so free
from bias as to be absolutely and wholly
impersonal in public affairs. But Mr.. Nc
Kenna comes us near to the judicial in the
cast of his mind as any man in the district.
His election is assured, and his service for
the State we will exemplify the wisdom of
the voters in choosing him. There is
promise for great improvement in Congress
sional representation when such men
as Mr.. McKenna are chosen. 1t testifies to
the ascendency of intelligence, cleanness,
competency, and sobriety of judgment. 1t
testities to the decadence of the crank
element in politics, and to its final, and, we
trust speedy eXtirpation. California has
had its share of incompetent hacks and
cranks i'll Congress, though in less degree
than has been the fortune of some of the
States But the day is dawning on which
the rising sun of intelligence and justice
will wither all the short-lived political
weeds that have sprung out Of the manure

TEXTBOOKS.


scheme, if adopted by California in No
yember, of having textbooks for schools
printed by the State, will fail because
rings will get hold of the State printing
Offices" The Current is not intelligent con-
corning our system. We have but enc
printing office the Superintendent is di-
rectly responsible to the administration,
Board of Examiners pass upon all bills,
and a Controller holds the veto power; a
State Board OF Education is supervisory of
all school matters the Legislature bienni-
ally has full opportunity to overhaul the
printing department; the State buys its
own paper and type and pays its printers
and ioremen fixed salaries; it has already
taken testimony as to all cost of printing,
ink, paper, engraving and MS. and knows
very accurately what outlay is necessary to
issue book, not only from these estimates,
but from experience in State work. True,
politicians may influence legislatures and
boards, but not more so than they do fifty
two county Boards of Education in this
the plan proposed is better than that of the
Current, to let the contract for books to the
lowest bidder, we are perfectly confident
that the objection raised by our contempo-
rary is not a good one. The Current sup
plements its criticism by the proviso that
the award on the competitive plan should
be made, not by a group of politicians or
by school officers, but by a committee of
business life, including the State Superin-
tendent of Instruction. That is all well
enough; but no such committee can be
chosen that the politicians will not have
goodly part in the selection. There can be
nothing attained in that way higher than
the political source of power. We believe,
in the light of present information, that the
State can divorce politics most effectively
from the school-book question by printing
her own textbooks, and disposing of them
at cost There will be in such a system, we
believe, the smallest margin for stealing.
Under the county system, heaven only
knows how much yenality is practiced.
The proclamation of the President of the
United States speaks directly to Sacra-

A Thor ough Organisation

We desire to I'M. ress upon the
Democracy OF Preston county, the
vital importance Of organization. A
thorough organ cation is the very
germ OF success. Each Democroi
should consider himself a committee
of one and 60 10 work at once. and
net coaue working until tho last bai
lot is cast in November next. Let
every Democrat remember that
Preston was formerly a Democratic
county; that it can he made so again
Those who have wandered from the
told, we hope and believe Rave had
enough Radical bosslsm, misrnle and
high tsxation, and will be only too
glad to return TO their fret love
Democracy and Reform-lf asked
to DO so. just so long as the Dem
Ocrats remain inactive, just 80 long
must they expect to remain in the
minority. We must be active and
aggressive.
Preston county to-day, is control
ed by Bosses and Rings simply be-
cause the Democracy has made no
active efforts heretofore to wrest
her from the tyrauts hand. The
Ring and the Bosses have had NO
vl3Ient opposition, and have hood =
winked the people, and managed
things to suit themselves. Tue
honest voters have become tired OF
this thing, and demand that the
people,, and not Bosses and Rings,
shall rule the affairs Of the county.
Agar, the Republicans have not
yet explained to the Taxpayer the
reason why ne has to pay the outra-
geous and bankrupting sum of one
dollar and fifty eli ht cents on the
hundred dollars. This cannot be
done without exposing the Ring,
and it is trembling for fear of ami
hilation. Let tae Democrats take
advantage OF the situation and ac-
complish its utter destruction. The
way to accomplish this is to organ
lZa.
