THE State Board of Agriculture has set
apart $500 to be paid in awards for
county exhibits at the next State Fair. 1t
is a generous sum, and should bring on a
generous competition. Yet competition is
not exactly the word to employ. The
money goes, in some part, to every county
exhibiting, and hence is rather in aid OF
exhibiting expenses that must be incurred
by the counties. There is something bet.
ter and above competition in these exposi-
tions of county products at the State Fair
it is the advertising feature and the ed
ucating influence of the exhibits. Every
producing county in the State ought to be
represented in these annual fairs, because
it pays disseminates information among
strangers concerning the capacity of the
section exhibiting, and is to all who look
upon these exhibits better evidence thar
hundreds of pages of pamphlet proofs. A:
an educating influence among our own PEG
pie the exhibitions have nearly as high
value. We do not begin to know our owl
State vet, except in a general way but by
means of these grouped exhibits of pro
ducts we get new and enlarged ideas o
the several sections and details OF knowl

The Democratic duty is TO press straight

necessary that the result should be achieved

given straightway. The result of the con-
test of the Democratic party in Pennsyl

confessed. So, too, Collier alleged, in
1852, the discovery of corrections in the
Shakespeare text, and the critics of both
continents could not decide whether they
were genuine, until chemical science and
microscopy exposed the cheat. Professor
Morgan, while not disposed to deny the
doubts surrounding the question of the
authorship of the plays, scorns the idea
that Bacon had any relation to it, and
then settles down upon the comforting
theory, which most people will be disposed
to accept, that Shakespeare is an ideal to
each one of us; that eve have no use for
dates, documents, muniments and pedi-
grees y that we need to care nothing as to
when or where Shakespeare was born, or

ing poor that are rarely discovered under
the independent and homeopathic sys-
TEN, viii, by the new method, be brought
to the attention of the charitable
The system involves discovery of all
cases Of distress and abject poverty, be-
cause it necessitates districting of the
city OF San Francisco and search for the
discovery imposition. Into that the plan
must of necessity grow; so that, within
two years, probably, the central agency of
the metropolis will become an admirable
bureau Of detection and complete direc-
tory of all the poor and suffering in every
block in the city. More than this, the
system viii develop the very best means Of
helping the poor to help themselves, be-
cause it will bring to the knowledge of
almoners of charities the truth with re-
gard to every case any of the societies
have in hand, whereas no one society can
alone and unaided search out the facts in
every case While imposition will be
stopped and aid to the poor augmented
and made more certain and effective, in
discriminate alms-giving will be checked.
1t now does a great deal to encourage
fraud discourage worth and limit chart
table gifts. The begging imposters liter
ally take the bread out of the
mouths of the deserving needy. Under
the new plans people will be urged
not to give TO applicants except
through some one of the organized chan
nels. With this request they win COM
ply, because they will soon realize how
much more certain it will be that no mis-
application of their gifts will be made.
Another purpose of the Cooperative
Union is to secure employment for those
able to help themselves. The central
bureau will become charitable employ
ment office. Through it all the societies
can act much more effectively and speedily
in securing their benefciaries employment,
than if acting independently. Still an
other purpose of the organization is to
search out the causes of pauperism, and
this it may be forecast, will prove to be
one of the most useful avenues of work of
the new organization, and will result in
disclosures and in capitalization of facts
that will greatly enlighten the public and
aid the cause of true charity. We have
referred to but few of the purposes of this
form of cooperation, but enough to show
of what immense value it must prove to
society. In Massachusetts, New York and
Ohio the system has been thoroughly tried
and its worth demonstrated, and we believe
a like result will follow its adoption here.
All the Sacramento charitable organiza-
tons would do well to connect themselves
with the cooperative movement in San
Francisco, besides organizing local sys-
TEN for similar union of effort here. The
need is not SO much felt with u,, as pow
erty is greatly less and the community
smaller; still, there is need for great
deal wiser and better dispensation of char
ity in Sacramento than is possible to be
attained so long as the local associations
act independently, and each one has
knowledge of charity work in the city only
so far as il relates to its own labors.
