his views on the political situation in
the following: "There Is no struggle In

Presidency. There is no question about
delegates. The best men in the State
are selected. and will be sent to the cor
vention to exercise their best judgment.
Our people have n friendly feeling for

he would accept, The California Con-

to accept. 1t was a very able document.

TmF Galveston News discusses the
lawyer question as follows: "A current
item states that the income Of Senator
Edmunds from his law practice is s15,-
900 year. When II is considered that
there are in every state many large in
comes and host of moderate ones made
by the practice Of law. there is ground
for some reflection. The lawyer is II
necessity, but why; Because people
wrong each other, and il is 50 difficult
to obtain individual protection and JUS
tice. The law produces nothing, trans
ports nothing for distribution; but, at
the best, only prevents wrong and out
rage. The S75.OO0 earned by Senator
Edmunds does not come from the amount
OF work he does. but from its import
ance. Who pays: Somebody pays S75,-
600 to be defended from wrong, or else
to be helped TO corral the results of
other mems industry. In either case
that is terrible tax on industry. Then
the talents Of the great lawyer are given
to these defensive or predatory efforts,
and no constructive benefit to society
is the result. The mass of the profess
sion is on the same line, and all that cost
and effort really go to show how far So
ciety is from a rule or science Of justice,
and explain in part how the producer
is kept poor. Beside, the laws are most
made mp by those of that profession the
income Of which depends upon the laws
being broken"

readers Of the LIGHT. Abiding TO pres
ent exemptions, which he claims are
already too numerous, he also declared
THAT If this privilege be further
stretched 1t will destroy the standing
and effectiveness Of the juries of the
metropolis. To support this protest, he
has prepared a statement of the persons
liable to jury duty on Manhattan Island
and the number exempted. OF the 1872
53l voters in the city, Commissioner
Cauliield finds that only 1880 are liable
for service on juries. Active and hon
orably discharged members Of the Ma
tlonal Guard and fremen, policemen,
physicians, lawyers, ministers, drug
gists, Federal, State and city officials,
teachers and persons beyond certain
age are exempt from this most impor-
tant duty. In addition to this vast
array, 10000 persons are incapacited be-
cause they have no property, besides
about 10000 who are retired, Sc
cluded or cannot be fonnd. Thus,

voters, less than $ per cent. can be called

deficit, Is there any wonder that he
finds great difficulty in getting good and
competent men for jures? The condi-
tion of New York in this matter is
sample Of the whole country. The com
plant made against bad verdlcts and

mainly TO this cause.-The lack of good

proposed New York legislation increas-
ing the exemptions, but in the plan pro-
posed In Cincinnati of reducing these

COMPETENT TEACHERS.

1tis beyond question that the efici-
eacy of our public schools in this County
depends in the last analysis upon the COM
potency of the teacher.
THE school board, the Superintendent
rides and regulations are practically IN
Important unless the teachers are capable,
energetic, possessed of due disciplinary
sn teaching powers.
1t has been my aim since taking:charge
oGthe educational affairs of this County,
tosdo my work as faithful officer should.
And 10 the selection of teachers it has
been my desire to choose those of high
mbral and intellectual standard, and thus
improve our schools to keep pace with
ou9 progressive people. Teacher, it is
yoh who comes in direct contact with the
pupils from day to day, who impresses
orrepels; who guides, or fails to guide,
and / ask of you to do your whole
d#y, and ever remember the grave re-
spbnslbility you have taken.
