The War ON cnn Rock Seals

EDS. REcoRD-UYIoN: The bill now be-
fore the Legislature for the determination
of tee seals inhabiting the Cliff seal rocks
in San Francisco is said to be in the inter
est of fishernien-not those who run the
risk OF catching-but the proprie,ors Fish
IN San Francisco, compared to more settled
and older countries, bring an exorbitant
price, but are got with much less labor and
much less risk than in any city in the
world The supply. in fact. is purposelv

rich already in the trade
Almost any day on the beach between
Harbogview and Fort Point. fishermen
may be seen making draughts TO the
beach. and after basketing all the market
able fish, from 100 to 100 pounds of small
fish are LETT high and dry on the beach to
die. These, with very little trouble. or
without any trouble, could be put back 10
their native element and in two or three
years become several thousands of pounds
of marketable food One-third grown
crabs are crushed with the heels of the
fishermen's gum boots TO be more easily
dumped from their nets This is a shap e.
full waste, and if fish were at all scarce
would never occur.
Another instance showing the enormous
supply of fish APPEARS in Mr. Sutro's open
letter TO the Legislature, where he speaks
of the enormous catches on Sundays, by
excursion parties on tug boats going out to
the Faralloues. He speaks of an individual
catch of $40 pounds. This seems big, but
no. uncommon. yielding lots of fun tn
amateurs. Whsn tug starts out pools are
formed, the person having the biggest bag

twelve aboard divided themselves into four
parties of three each, and each party put

ing that the State shall compile and PRINT
its own school textbooks. After deal of
amazingly weak argument, proceeding
mainly from false premises, that paper
quotes from the report of the Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction in California
paragraph which il const rues to be 8 ver-
dict against the California system, and
winds up its strawy editorial with the
statement that the California experiment
is fiat failure and that fact ought to
settle the whole business SO far as the
Hoosier State is concerned.
II is amazing that an intelligent journal
can fall into such an error, and il is humll-
iating that California should be so uisun-
derstood abroad. We. who know that our
experiment has proven eminently sue
cessful, cannot understand how the Indiana
paper could honestly fall into such an
error. The suspicion is strong that its Bit
terness but reflected the wish behind it.
The quotation it made from the official re-
port must be taken in connection with
the context of the document All that
report could have said is that it
costs more for the State TO print
her books than it would a private individ-
ual; and that is truth that in no way af-
fects the policy of State issuance of the
books. The State works her printers but
eight hours day and she pays frst-class
wages. The private publisher can work
his men ten hours, and grind them
down to lower rates if he chooses. The
great truth the Journal avoids is this. that
the people now get the textbooks very
much cheaper, have as good books as be-
fore, and are not, as prior to the adoption OF
the present system, at the mercy of the
book rings, while the book publishing lob
byists have disappeared from the halls of
legislation and the local politics of the
counties and cities. Moreover, the State
gets its money back for all its outlay, at
the same time that the people receive the
books at very much lower rate. Unless
our Indianapolis contemporary is DESTROYS
OF misleading the Indiana Legislature, it
will correct its blunders, and in quoting
from official reports quote fair.

the honor of young woman placed under
his care, proved his courage a few years
ago by refusing to fight duel with South

that no man in that city could defy The
code and retain the respect of Southern
society. Dawson, however, had confidence
In the justice of his position and the ulti-
mate judgment of brave men and honest
women. The result was that he won his
point, and ne died honored, respected and
admired by all the people. By his cour-
ageous stand against relic of barbarism,
he did more than any other man has done
in the last half of the century to bring the

sistable is the weapon of truth in the hands
OF man who has the courage to WELD It.
