THE TEXTBOOK QUESTION.

1t is testified by legislators that power
ful influences are at work to hinder them
in the enactment of laws to carry into
effect the constitutional amendment rela-
tive TO the printing of the school text
books by the State Of course these intiu-
ences have their source Of power in the
school-book publishing ring They testify
forcibIy 10 the necessity for the amend
ment and the wisdom of the people in
adopting it. The dominant party in the
Legislature will cut sorry figure in the
next campaign if it permits the bills to
carry the amendment into effect to be de-
feated or crippled. The fears entertained
and given undue prominence, that outsiders
will reprint the books and flood the State
with them at prices below State cost, are
not worthy serious consideration. The
bills now provide that it shall be unlawful
to use in the schools any book not bearing
the trademark OF the State. That effect
ually closes that door. If more precau-
tons are needed, the further provision
that the individual compilers shall copy
right the books and assign to the State
Superintendent in trust for the use of the
State, will clinch the matter The truth
of the whole business is, that for once the
people Of California have got the book
men in corner, and if they do not KEEP
them there the Legislature of California
now in session will alone be blamcworthy

THE JUTE RUSINESS.

The Vallejo Chronicle says: "The
REcoRD-UNioN writes as if it was an es-
tablished fact that the iute experiment at
San Quentin was complete failure We
do not 50 understand that vas the result
under Warden Ames administration. q X
We are sorry 10 see a newspaper like
ahe REcoRD-U MON, without justification
join the pack Of howlers against the prison
jutc factory, because it Is generally under
stood their opposition is not inspired by
any particular interest in the public wei
fare, but rather for the reason that the
prison establishment has made it inpossi-
bic for certain men to control the grain
bag market
The REcoED-CNIoN opposed the entry
Of the State upon the iute experiment.
Long before it was attempted, this
Journal raised a voice of warning.
1t did SO in favor of no spe-
cial interest, nor against any special in
terest Ii, opposition was matter of
principle, and it has never waytred in it.
If it is shown that its theory was wrong it
viii frankly admit it. The reasons for our
position have frequently and fully been
stated We do not believe that the iute
experiment ever was successful in the true
sense nor do we believe that it will he.
This journal spoke in the interest Of the
State and all the people. 1t, position was
taken after careful study Of every factor
of the problem, and upon the broadest and
best settled principles Of State economy,
We cannot at this time attempt TO go over
the whole ground, or again lay bare the
fallacy Of the showing that makes out an
exhibit Of prof; for the san Quentin iute
factory. We have been over that ground
frequently, and the intelligent reader Of
the REconp-I mon cannot mistake Its
position. But we may say in brief that
the factors Of cost of the plant
ard operation for series Of
years must he considered to determine
with any ds-ree Of accuracy whether or

for the State The one indictment fox the
prosecution OF the industry in the State
Prison is the cheapness of the labor en-
ployed As to all else, prison manufact-
.ories are at great disadvantage, except in
industries where machinery cannot be
largely employed. In the iute industry
the labor employed is but about ten per
cent. of the cost Of production. The in
dustry here must compete with the foreign
manufacture of goods, and in such compe-
tition convict labor, we have held, must 90

material Is factor against lis. In India
the jute industry has not been productive
of profits, though the jute is ready to
hand and the labor of the cheapest known
in the world We are not prepared,
therefore, to admit that the brief expert
ence at San Quentin is to be taken as
against the whole history Of the industry
elsewhere. Nor shall we almit-as we

OTTAWA (Ont.) February 3d.-In the

would introduce bill during the present
session restricting the immigration of
Chinese to the. dominion. Sir John Mac
Donald replied that the whole question of
Chinese had been referred to a Commits

certainly viii, however, when proofs of
error on our cart are laid hare-that the
iute industry at San Quentin has been a
source of profit for single day, until
every factor of cost and operation is dis
engaged from all the other costs of main
tanning the prison. In short, the subject
is one requiring an elaborate and pains
taking examination before it can be passed
upon with positiveness. In the meantime
we shall continue to adhere to the theory
that it is an uneconomic investment for the
State, and the least desirable occupation in
which to engage conviets.

A PROPER MEASURE.

\ bill has been introduced in the Legis-
lature to provide for the erection and fur
nishing Of a hotel in the Yosemite valley
It should pass. The bill should not be
allowed to drown in the mass of attempted
legislation. California possesses in 1o-
semitic valley one of the rarest treasures
Ii is q source Of revenue to the State, never
ending, and upon which there can be nc
discount. 1t is the one chief and great
natural curiosity we possess. About it
margin are being discovered new beauties
constantly It embraces the sublimest
scenery to which we can invite the atten-
ton of the world But in this wonderful
park there is no sufficient structure f5l
entertainment OF our guests. Private CAPT
tai should not be permitted to fill the need
The State alone should do it. 1t will be 4
good investment, bit of real economy
Al this time we cannot 20 into details il
support of the bill; it is enough to know
that it has been introduced, and that every
consideration calls for its passage.

did. The Clubbing the motley crew
received on Monday night will dc
good 1t viii arouse the country to the
necessity Of treating these fellows rs some
thing more than Grants, whose follies may

against order, law and 4 republican form
of government. They propose the easier
task-puliing down-but do. not suggest
any building up in stead Their sole ain
is to drag men down to their own level anC
to debase government to the anarchica

that the vie doctrines such as the Schwab-

sooner, therefore, there are open and

crew and stable citizens Of the country, the

ilicts being serious. The rascals were fully
armed Monday night but proved to he I'M

ANTIQUITY OF IRoN-So very few ar
ticles of iron Of unquestionable antiquity
have been discovered among the remains
of ancient Egyptian art, while objects OF
bronze have been brought to light in
abundance, that many have doubted
whether iron had been introduced into
Egypt before the time of the Ptolemies.
But it is very certain that other and neigh
boring peoples, who never reached so
high stage of civilization as the Egypt
ians knew well the manufactures and uses
of iron, and it is scarcely possible that the
builders of the monumental works of Old
Egypt should have neglected so useful a
metal Besides there are chemical reasons
why the iron remains are so few and the
bronze relics so many. Yet it would seem
that the ancient Egyptians had a marked
preference for bronze weapons, implements
and ornaments.

Proposed Alliance Between Great Britain
and the United States.

LoyDoN. February 3d.-The leader in
this evenings Pail Nall GdseHe, advocating
political alliance between Great Britain
and the United States, attracts attention.
The American republic, the Gazette says, is
now at last beginning to have a foreign pol
lev The doctrine of complete isolation so
long maintained by American statesmen,
has persisted. Minister NasSon's presence
and activity in the Berlin conference on the
Congo question must be taken as Il portent
of things to come. America will continue
10 exert a great and increasing influence in
the work of pacifving Africa. The republic
will. ere long, claim admittance into the
European areopagus whenever dealing
with questions pertaining to the interests
of the outside boundaries of the European
continent. England's duty, therefore, is to
make the most of this great fact. Blood is
thicker than water The United States IS
England's natural ally. After the fedora
ton of the British Empire there will re-
main for the British statesman no task
comparable in importance TO that of the
conclusion of an alliance between Great
Britain and the greatrepublic which sprung
from England'S loins This alliance, the
article concludes, will be rs close and use
full to the two great English speaking PEG
pies as that between Austria and Germany.

LONDON. Februqry 3d.-The police this
evening made another important arrest in
connection with the recent dynamite ex-
plosions. The prisoner was pursued for
several days, and finally run down by Po-
lice Inspectors Jarvis and Aberline, who

portant matter. and all the necessary
means of establishing his identity. He

accused of having caused the explosion at
the Tower of London, are already begin
