Petition to Col. Belknap.

The following petition. which was circulated
yesterday, explains itself:
Col. A. Belknap:
We, the undersigned horse owners, trainers
and Jockeys. having learned of your intention
to resign the chief dictatorship of the racing
department of the fair on account of a certain
card published in the morning paper, and sign
ed by +. W. Robinson, respectfully ask of you
to reconsider such intention and remain where
you are, as the position taken by you in re-
gard to the issuance of badges was correct
one, and the same rule is in force at all race
tracks in the east and west, viz: that no
badges are given unless the horses are on the
grounds and expect to enter and run in races.

THE Epoci saws:

On the 9Th day of last September, our esteemed
contemporary. the Eue1,ing Post said that New
York state contained 70 90 or 100 900 Independ-
ent voters. assuming this estimate to he cor
rect the election returns compel us TO admit
that Grover Cleveland did not command the
Independent vote in this State Did the great
Independent vote fail to stick closely to Cleve
land because he was not a thoroughgoing civil
service reformer? II so. the lesson should not
be lost on President-elect Harrison.
But it was not needed. Mr. Cleveland
declared himself for the reform in 1884,
and failed to prove it By 1888. General
Harrison pronounced for the reform with
its birth and has at no time since wavered
in his fealty to it. He was elected upon a
platform unequivocally indorsing it, and
it is not to be imagined for an instant he
will prove reereant to it. 1t is not of the
character of the man to say one thing and
act in opposition to it in doing another.

TESTIMONY FROM ABROAD.

The Eposh gives its hearty Endorsement
to the scheme of putting women upon
Boards of Education, and declares that its
observation Of the capacity of women on
the Board of Education of New York JUS
titles it in saying that the public school
system would be benefited by having more
women members upon the educational
Boards. Up in Shasta county women have
been elected to the Office of Superintendent
of Schools for fourteen years; the people
show no dissatisfaction with the "eaperi-
ment." Boston began to elect women to
the Board of Education in 1873, and the
people Of that city are unanimously of the
opinion that the school system has bene-
flied by the innovation. Why should it
not? As the venerable DIR. Peabody, of
Cambridge, once said ave want more
women on orr school committees. Men
bear comparatively small part in the
training of their children. The child's
first lessons are at his mothers knee She
understands child nature; Is c0nyersant
with the avenues to the child's mind and
heart What men who are not profess
sional teachers know about eduoa-
tion is, for the most part, from
theery, tradition, authority-not from
experience. During large part of my
life / have been on school boards, and am

sACRAMENTO's REPUBLICAN EXAM
PIE.

As the total vote of the State is ascer-
tanned it develops that Sacramento Re-
publicans have special reasons to be graft
fed at the part this, one of the banner
Republican counties, had in giving the
State vote to Harrison and Morton. For
examination of the results of the election
proves that Sacramento county made a
better Republican showing than the State
of California. That is to say, had Cali
fornia stood up in her Republican strength
as stiffly as Sacramento, General Harri-
sons majority over Mr.. Cleveland would
have been great deal larger.
The election year in 1884 was phenom-
enal as concerned the Republican vote.
The party got vote then which it did not
have in 1880 and did not receive in 1888.
To compare the Republican vote of 1888
with that of 1884 in California, is there
fore severe and not wholly fair test. But
let us make it and see what deyelops-that
IN Sacramento county the Republican
party good deal more than held its own.
Mr.. Blaine received in the State in
1884, 1871 more votes than Mr.. Cleve-
land Of this majority Sacramento county
gave him 1903. General Harrison in
1888 received 1854 more votes in Cali
fornia than Mr.. Cleveland of this ma
iority over the latter, Sacramento county
gave him 1878. Now then, let any dis
posed to do so, test the relation of these
figures by the ordinary rules of proper
ton, and they will find that the relation
of 1854, the Harrison majority, TO 1881,
the Blaine majority over Cleveland calls
upon Sacramento county to show majority
for Harrison over Cleveland of but 1859
instead of 1878. So then, we repeat, had
the rest of the State given Republican ma
jorities as Sacramento's proportionally to
the State total over Mr.. Cleveland, Harri-
son and Morton would have had consider
ably larger total in California over Cleve-
land and Thurman.

THE electric flash light, which is so
vivid as to enable an instantaneous photo
graph to be taken in a room otherwise as
dark as Erebus, is playing an important
part in exposing Spiritualist imposters. In
Cincinnati recently, in the midst of a
Undertaking. seance, when "alleged
spirits were walking about in visible forms,
a flash" was burned, and for an instant
the room was as light as the brightest sun
light could make it. In that brief time a
Photographic plate was exposed and
showed the spirits walking about with
white robes over forms clad in breeches,
boots and shirts, and wearing countenances
familiar as those of the operating mediums.
The result of the exposure was a complete
collapse of the materializer's pretty
show.
