mistake. AS an illustration: few scholars
know anything about history further than
the history of the colonies, and very little of
that. They have been obliged to begin at
the fore part of the book at the beginning of
each term, thereby going over the same
work each winter. Such teaching, in our
opinion, is useless, and needs remedy.
The method of presenting the subject is de-
fective and, must say, Is far from being
wholly the fault of the teacher No record
is furnished him of the work previously
done by the pupil, and the results obtained
by an examination of such pupils is not sat-

nations are almost wholly wanting i'm some

the schools and each teacher required to
make statement of the work actually done
by each pupil during the term, all the
trouble named above, together with much
more which attends the efforts of the teach
ers, might be overcome. If the county
board we've to adopt course of study and
require each teacher to make use of it, be-
side making the report above, Our schools
would be greatly improved.
The course adopted by the Principals As

these lands is scarcely dreamed of. In
older countries one Of the chief purposes
of government is to discover and develop

tions of France now yield the best wines

1t is the policy of our state to furnish
| education of every grade freely to all its
citizens. Some are too poor to buy the
school books for their children. The
platform secures free textbooks for
study to all, so that the rich and the
poor are placed on equality in opportu-
mites to become worthy citizens and
good men and women.
There are many other provisions of the
platform worthy of your attention and
approval, treating on national and state
matters. / will not dilate upon them,
but leave them to the able speakers who

comparison with the platforms of other

My life has been that of business
man, and in the responsible positions to
which my fellow citizens for four sue
cessive elections have chosen me, have
endeavored to apply business methods
in the administration of public affairs.

DDS ought to be employed by those deal

land maintenance OF most enlightened
institutions, are among the conditions
Of prosperity.
1t has seemed to me, in taking gen.
eral view OF our state affairs and those
OF other progressive states, that Cslifor-
mia is paying too much for what we get.
We all are willing to contribute to the
reasonable expenses of government, and
its worthy and necessary institutions
such as schools, asylums, peniten-
tiaries, etc. These should be sustained,
and in no parsimonious or unworthy
manner. But taxes are too hard to
earn, and too hard to pay, unless used
for the most necessary and enlightened
purposes, and disbursed in the most eco
nomical and careful way.
While we are aware that our history
and conditions and the hopeful and pro-
gressive spirit Of our people are some
what exceptional still it might be pro-
fitable to compare our state institutions
and expenditures with other states, old
and new. l remind you that property
in this state is assessed higher in valu-
alton than in almost, if not all, the
states that our rate OF taxation exceeds
that of any other state except Pennsyl-
vania and New York.
From these simple statements the i'm
portance of trying to reduce our state
taxation is apparent, but beyond that
we all know that the tax burden is too
heavy for our people. 1t seems to me
that the demand for a reduction of the
state tax is reasonable, and that it can
be satisfied.
All that is necessary is to introduce
business methods; seeing to it that,
without parsimony, waste and extrava-
gance are not allowed.
The pledge of our party will reduce
the rate of taxation about forty per cent.
from the rate of last year, and half
million dollars year less than the
platform of our opponents calls for !;
while should the assessment roll in
crease, the reduction in our favor would
be still larger in amount.
Financially, the state business is like
! other business, only of larger, more
complex and indefinite nature, and the
reorganization of public finance and re-
duction of public expense has been often
illustrated.
An important provision of the Demo-
cratic platform pledge is the enactment
of a more efficient and secret ballot sys-
tem--known as the Australian method
of balloting. OF the advantage of this
most efficient system OF balloting there
can be no doubt in the minds of all fair
minded citizens, and this seems the best
method yet devised for this purpose.
The platform also urges an amend
ment to the constitution OF the United
States, authorizing the election of Unit
ed States senators by the direct vote OF
the people. The many reasons for such
a change need not be dwelt upon, but it
is certainly in the line of traditional
Democracy.
1t also declares in favor of fostering
the wine industry in this state by both
state and national legislation.

AT THE PAVILION.
The Speeches and the Candidates
Enthusiast cal1y Received.

At IS 80 O'Clock the sounds of martial
music blending harmoniously with ring
ing cheers and the sharp crack of burst
ing rockets heralded the approach OF the
parades to the crowd which already
thronged the galleries of Hazards Pa
vilion. A few minutes later, the meas
ured tread of innumerable feet rose
above the shouts OF acclamation which
greeted the arrival of the first brigade,
and for fully twenty minutes the crowds
poured into the hall until the vast audi
tOrium refused to accommodate more,
and packed and surging mass OF
humanity blocked up the aisles and
doorways, effectually preventing either
ingress or egress.
The interior OF the vast hall was pro-
fusely and artistically decorated with
tri-colored bunting and flags, and PIE
sented very pleasing effect.
The chairman's table in the center of
the platform was almost entirely con-
cealed by huge floral harp composed
of natural pond lilies in full bloom and
stephanotis, upon background of the
dark green leaves of the water loving
plant. A handsomely framed and ex-
ceedingly well executed portrait of each
of the distinguished guests OF the
evening adorned the corners of the
stage.
The appearance Of Mayor Pond and
ex-senator Del Vale upon the platform
was the signal for such a burst of
enthusiastic applause as never before
shook the building, and this was con-
tinued until the audience became
hoarse. Three cheers for the dis
tinguished visitors were given with a
will, and at their close Mr.. J. De Barth
Shorb, chairman of the county central
committee, presented Mr.. Fred Harkness
as chairman, and Henry Dockweiler, as
secretary, of the evening, both gentle
men being received with acclamation.
Chairman Harkness called the meet
tempts to make himself heard, and ad-
dressedthe vast audience as follows:

mencing the exercises of the evening

wings to the stage, bearing in his hands
an immense key covered with tin foil
and tied with bow of tricolored rib
bon, and advancing towards Mayor
Pond, he addressed him as follows:
