Colonel Irish and His Detractors.

When San Francisco, by Colonel John P
Irish and his Alta proposed to entertain
the next Democratic National Convention,
it had an advocate whose wide personal ac-
quaintance with public men was and is Sec
ond to none in this or any other State. 1t
was entirely due to him that the scheme
had a single advocate, or any chance of
success. By his urgent and able support,
by correspondence and otherwise. he made
the metropolis of this coast, with all its al
lurements. prominent candidate for the
coveted honor. Just then little great men.
with national regulations in their respec-
tive neighborhoods, began TO catch on end
handicap project as important to this
State as to the Democratic party, and which
had everything to lose and nothing to gain
by their damaging pretensions. They are
the same wretches who, in two recent po-
litical canvasses in this State, with suicidal
insanity protested against putting Colonel
Irish, the prince of campaigners, on the
stump. They could and always can make
themselves candidates for forbidden hon.
ors, as they did in two notable instances in
this State and with the same disastrous
result.
Fortunately for the party the baleful in
tluence of such fellows is limited and short
lived. The momentous consequences of
their conceit and their martyrdom are con-
fined to their bailiwick. They cannot be-
foul with Their dirty feet the fountains nor
the stream of national politics. Hence the
party and the Administration are above
their concentrating touch, and are not re-
sponsible for their idiotic laundering. Not
withstanding our disappointment at the
defeat of San Francisco, we know that the
action of the Convention on the 9th of
June at st. Louis is absolutely forestailed
Mr.. Cleveland will be nominated, and Col
Irish will be to his mendacious and malig-
nant detract0rs, las Hyperion to satyr"-

Among those who advocate the use of
Speller, there is diversity of opinion as to
the best method Of teaching spelling, some
believing that oral practice alone is produc-
tiv eof the best scholars and others, that
by uniting oral and written exercises, the
greatest improvement is made. Upon the
latter theory this book has been prepared.
that not only practical knowledge of
spelling might be- attained, but a generous
vocabulary acquired A leading feature of
this speiier is the classification of words
with reference to the elementary vowel
sounds and Their equivalents used in spell
ing them. Difficult consonant combina-
tons rHprer eniing simiisr sounds have also
been grouped together while an endeavor

These two volumes constitute a part of
the series of California textbooks. The
Second Reader is somewhat larger than is
usual with reader of that grade having
two hundred ana eighty eight pages. The
paper is excellent, of soft finish, and the
type clear and large. There are also
number of distinguishing features which
make the volume OF more than ordinary
value. For ibstance-the dictation exer-
clses, which form regular part of the
work TO be done. from lesson fifty-one to
the end are OF great value in helping a
pupil TO comprehend what he reads. There
are also picture lessons, spelling reviews.
exercises With blanks to be filled, selections
for recitation, proverbs, drills in articula-
ton, exercises in changing the form of
words, with other practical topics. The
illustrations are new and good.
The Third Reader is quite an advance
upon the Second. II contains two hun
dred and three selections of the best kind,
