SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

1t is IN the air that two or three clergy
men will be named as candidates for the
Republican nomination for the position of
superintendent of Schools in this city. 1t
Is TO be hoped that the rumor is without
foundation. 1t ought to be apparent to
every one that no matter what was done
IN the past history of this city or this
State in the way of precedent, that such
action now would be most inappropriate
Sometimes the very best use of prece-
dent is to testify TO its own error. To Sc
leet the priestly representative of any re-
ligion for the SUPPLEMENTARY of the
common schools, is to drag religion into
the election and into the schools. 1t is to
give to the enemies Of the free-school sys-
tenn weapon they most desire. If it is fit
TO elect Methodist preacher, Presbyte-
rian clergyman, or an Episcopalian rector
to the charge of the free schools, it is lust
as meet to elect Roman Catholic priest. a
Lutheranminister or any other of the cloth.
There are some callings among. men that
should be kept up and out of all political
entanglements of any possible kind. The

FERTILE FOOTHILLS.
Tea Plantation in Successful Operation
in Placer County.

III AhceE county.
[San Francisco Bulletin, November 18th
w. Ii. Mills, Land Agent of the Central
Pacific Railroad, during a recent visit 10
Auburn, found snail tea plantation
which was set out six or seven wears ago
by Mr.. Gould, and which has long passed
the experimental stage. There are about
fifty tea plants, which for six or seven years
have been producing tea of as good quality
as any to be found in the market. The
family have not purchased tea for a great
many years, using only that which is OBJ
tanned from their own plants. 1t is believed
that this experiment of Mr.. Gould has de-
monstrated the feasibility of raising tea in
the foothills. Mr. Mills has secured some
of the tea seed, and will experiment with
1t on his ranch in Napa county. Mr. Gould
has also, near Auburn very large num-
Der of thrifty olive trees, which are all in
bearing, being loaded with ripe fruit There
are many other olive orchards in the vicin-
lty, all producing fine olives. The region
also produces some of the finest California
| oranges to be found. These facts will be of
interest to Eastern people in search of
homes i'll California, for among those
thinking of coming to this coast there is a
general impression that in what is usually
| called " Northern California the region
north of Los AnSeles-the climate is harsh.
the winters severe and the land unfruitful.
Many of the immigrants Just arrived at Los
Angeles inquire concerning the depth of
snow in the Sacramento valley, and some
ask If the Indians are very troublesome.
In fact, the northern half of the State is a
comparatively unknown region, Eastern
people having heard only of the beauties of
Los Angeles and its semi-tropical climate
But the facts given above show that this
climate can be found in the northern half

ministry of the religion of God is one of
these. Truthfully, and outside of politics,
and rings, and cliques, and all that, the
Superintendent of Public Schools should
be practical educator, one whose life is
devoted to systems of education, and
whose training has all been upon the plane
of the best methods for enhancing the

of November 18th furnishes the annexed !:
A party consisting of John Kelly, his
wife and daughters, Miss Mamie and Mrs.
Maggie B. Mcdonald, his son Edward, and
Thomas Sly arrived here from Lundy,
Mono county, Thursday, on their way to
Jackson, Amador county, where Mr.. Kelly
used to reside. The party lett Lundy on
November 1st and came across the mount
aims, but had terrible time crossing the
summit. They were caught in q snow
storm the fourth day out, and then their
troubles began. 1t showed every day for a
week, and the road became so impeded as
to be well nigh impossible. 1t was Just as
easy to come this way as to go back, so they
shoveled snow, broke the road and man
aged to push along, but at times it seemed
as if they must perish. In one day of ter
rible exertion they only made a progress of
a mile and half They say they do not
think they would ever have made the trip
through if Charley Haslam had not over
taken them with his team last Monday and
helped them along. By doubling teams
and all working together they succeeded in
getting through safe. When near Baker
women were put upon horses and taken
down to the station for shelter Next day
they succeeded in getting the wagons down.
From Bakers they had a comparatively
easy time getting to the snow line. When
they reached here all hands were COM
pletely worn out, but healthy and in good
spirits. After recruiting up the party will
proceed on their way to Jackson, where Mr..
Kelly hasa brother and son-in-law residing.

HANDSOME CLEAN JP.-Ihe Sierra City
Tribune says
The third clean up of the Young America
mine was made this week, and the result
IS fully up to the expectations of the most
Sanguine. The result of the run is three
large bars apparently about the size of or
binary brickbatS, and the value of the
three is $23.525. This is for a run of
twenty-nine days While the bars were in
Busch's store Wednesday, they were the
center OF attraction for admiring crowds.
When it is taken into consideration that
only ten stamps have been used as vet, this
yield is wonderful. Ten additional stamps
are nearly ready to start up and will be
operating next week, and hereafter the
monthly clean up will be about double that
of the past month.

upon the delayed Sacramento train, at
about 8 o'clock discovered fire coming
through the roof of Charles Marines house
at Elmira. He Immediately blew his
whistle, and the engineer upon the Sacra-
mento train also blew his whistle and
aroused the people. When the people ar
rived at the house they found the family
sound asleep. They surely would have all
been burned up had it not been for the
timely alarm, as the house is an old wooden

JUDGE vINCENTs APPEAL.

Whoever read the lengthy appeal OF
Judge Vincent, which we yesterday pub
lished in full, must admit that he makes
out prima facie case-one that the Presi-
dent cannot refuse to take up. In brief,
the Judge shows that he was perem ptorily,
and without an opportunity to defend, re-
moved from the Supreme Court of New
Mexico, and in the face of his petition to
be heard and to know what were the proofs
against him, and his persistent and en-
phatic assertion of perfect innocence of any
wrong doing, and finally, that he was being
removed on charges preferred that are
capable Of perfect explanation, and re-
buttal These charges he sets forth and
answers. As the matter now stands. Presi
dent Cleveland is placed in a very unen-
viable light. He will be driven to given
to the public the reasons for Judge Vim
cents removal, or rest under the imputa-
ton of having refused the appeal of a citi-
zen of the country for an opportunity to
prove his entire innocence of charges laid
No man can afford to occupy such position
as that-not even the Chief Magistrate of
