AN EXPOSE"

In another column will be found Il local
article on the school-book constitutional
amendment, expository of the methods en-
ployed by Eastern publishing houses to
thwart the will of the people, and to force
upon them school books, whether they
wish them or not In brief, it recounts the
existence of a syndicate or ring of powerful
publishing houses, which have entered into
a compact under heavy penalties not to
labor for the displacement of any school
book now in use, notwithstanding that a
new competitor may in every way be more
desirable. 1t exposes scheme to prevent
the adoption by School Boards of books
they may judge to be the best, and this is
sufficient to put the seal of condemnation
upon the whole business. The article
standing alone should convince every in
telligent voter that the time has come to
cut loose from the corrupting influences of
the school-book publishing houses, and to
vote for the constitutional amendment pro-
viding that California shall secure such
text matter as a competent board may fix
upon, and print her own school-books.

SINGULAR DELUsIoN.

Some of the Democratic organs still
labor under the delusion that Tuesdays
election in Ohio was Democratic victory.
This conclusion is reached because some
newspapers claimed the State in the Octo.
Der election for the Republican party by
10000, while, in fact, it elected the chief
officer upon the Supreme Judge
by but about 1900; its Congressman by
$4,000, and its Secretary of State by Il 900
majority, against whom there was special
opposition, because he was one of the oppo-
nents in Court against the Scott liquor law
last year. It is history that the Republican
authorities in Ohio never placed their
estimated majority in October at over II .0Oo
and in the highest estimate at not over
1900. 1t is one Of the especial privileges
of drowning men to catch at straws, and
on this basis alone can excuse be found
for the Democracy, since they had the
effrontery all through September to loudly
claim that Ohio would go Democratic in

evening to a torchlight procession. Blaine was
escorted through the principal streets by II large
body of Plumed Knights and there was line
of decorated houses and a continuous crowd
along the whole route. 1t was about $50 o'clock
when the procession reached the Courthouse
The two Michigan Senator's Conger and Palmer,
were first introduced. Alter they had given
some account of the tour through Michigan,
Blaine was introduced amid enthusiastic cheers.
He spoke at some length on the tariff as the
great issue OF the campaign, arguing that the
maintenance of the protective policy was of far
greater Importance TO the workingmcn than to
any other class of the community. In the same
connection he warned workinglnen that their
labor unions would be powerless to protect
them against the competition of the cheap
labor of the world if the protective tariff
were abolished Blaine was driven to the resi-
dence of C T. NJ. Studebaker, whose guest he
viii be until Monday. Later in the evening he
reviewed very large torchlight procession.
