districts ana have been busily ctr
gagged in repairing their political

political Importance have been
under consideration IN the House
lately, and Speaker Reed has been
passing partisan measures by
counting enough Democrats to
make a quorum. The latter finally
tired of this outrage, and COM
menced q systematic scattering to
the cloak rooms every time the yea

One day the Speaker had the doors
locked while a vote was being
taken and before the astonished door
keeper could collect his senses,
kllgore, s stalwark Democrat from
Texas, kicked the door clear off its
hinges. and vaulfe3 through the

Salt Lake Tribune sums the matter
I'D about right when II SAYS THE
Democrats are behaving very badly
in absenting themselves from the
House these DAYS, but the Repabi-
cans are inst IS much TO blame as
they are They have q majority Of
the House. and If they cannot
muster enough OF their own men to
make q quorum, they have no bust
ness to be growing about the
absence OF Democrats. If members
are of putting up their fences and
g quorum cannot be had, then they
had better adjourn Congress until
after the elections in November.
The daily wall that the Democrats
are TO blame for want Of q quorum
comes in bad taste from the party
that has that has full majority IN

The Democratic meeting adver-
tised to be held in Caldwell Thurs
day evening of this week was de-
cided mixture of success and fail
are. A success in that the largest
crowd of the campaign had assem-
bled; failure in that the advertis-
tised speakers did not appear.
There were present Democrats from
Star; Democrats from Middleton;
Democrats from Parma; Democrats
from Dixie; and whole population
of Caldwell regardless of political
belief. According to a pre-arrang-
ed programme, as understood be-
tween the precinct committee and
the State committee, the speakers
were to come to Caldwell direct
from Silver City. They did not
come. We have no excuse to offer
for their non-appearance. Judge
Weir, who was present in Caldwell
that evening kindly consented TO
address the meeting, and gave a
good practical talk.

Mr.. C. NJ. Hays, of Silver City,
Republican candidate for District
Attorney, paid his many Caldwell
friends a visit yesterday. Mr..
Hays is eminently qualified for the
Office of District Attorney, as he
has held the office of County Attor-
ney of Owyhee county for a num-
Der of years. If a Democrat can
not be elected to the Office of Dis
trict Attorney, we are glad the al
tentative gives us so good a man as
Chas. NJ. Hays.

The speech of Hon. Ned. Curtis
last Monday evening was devoid OF
single argument. "What differ
ence does it make if workingman
does have to pay more for his
clothes than they are WORTH" says
the brilliant gentleman, "thats' the
way the nation raises it's revenue"
The TRIBUNE gives Caldwell peo-
pie credit for having more sense
than Mr.. Curtis does. There was
probably not man in the house
but who knew the difference be-
tween tariff for revenue and tariff
for protection, but General Curtis
does not appear to. His speech
was the rankest kind of nonsense.

A SHARP TRICK.

Ohio fell into the trap of the school
book ring as easily as the angle worm on
the boys PIN hook tumbles into the capa-
cious mouth of the Western catfish. The
people OF Ohio, inspired by the success of
California in eliminating the book ring
from the politics of the State, demanded
similar measure for the Buckeye State.
But the Democrats having heard the clink
of the song of gold, submitted all bills to
the scrutiny of the publishers. AS con-
sequence a milk -and-water sort of "Act'
was passed and became the law of the
State. Under that Act the State adver-
tised for publishers throughout the length
and breadth of the land to come up to the
Capital and submit bids for supplying
Ohio with textbooks. The people had
been told that by this plan they would Sc
cure the good results of competition, and
that the State could buy by wholesale and
herself distribute the books to the counties
at very small advance upon the cost of
production. There was good deal of
grumbling, but the people submitted and
the advertising commenced.
When the time arrived for the opening
of the bids, 10! only two publishing houses
in ali the land put in offers to supply
books 1t was then discovered that these
two firms print only about five per cent of
the textbooks the law required to be used
prior to the passage of the competition
bilF-so called. The acceptance of either
of the bids would have necessitated almost
complete change of ali the books In use
in the Ohio free schools, and in conse-
quence the parents and guardians would
have been forced to expend nearly half
million of dollars for new series of text
books. The Commission of Award, there
fore, rejected both offers.
This was precisely what the book ring
wanted, since it left things "as they were''
until another Legislature. The deluded
people did not know that all the text
book publishers have secret understand
ing with each other, whereby the adoption
or rejection of any series of books works
no harm TO tbem-that is to say, they are
sin" upon all jobs on equal terms, SO that
any change whatever works no benefit to
the public. That was the plan upon
which they operated in California prior to
the State undertaking to produce the text
books herself, and the RECORD UNION a
few years ago published the secret agree
ment with the signatures Of the leading
publishers attached 1t broke the back of
the book ring here, and it has not been
able to more than wriggle at any time
since. The Ohio people should learn wis
dom from the example of California, and
adopt the policy of cutting free wholly
from all publishers, and then go to work
and compile and print their own text
books. With the universities and acade-
mics, and learning and practiced educators
for which that State is renowned, the task
ought not to be difficult one.

EVE OF THE BATTLE.
Large Political Clubs Marching the
Streets.

Large Political Clubs Marching the
Streets.
SAN JOSH, August 1Sih.-The streets were
filled with marching delegations all this
afternoon and this evening, and when the
last train arrived tonight the city seemed
to be overfiowing. The sidewalks were
blocked in front of the hotels and head
quarters, and everybody was talking about
the various phases OF the Convention which
will meet to. morrow.
Besides the regular delegates to the Con-
vention, various political clubs have been
arriving all day and marching from the
railroad station to their headquarters, &C
companied by bands of music. Among
the largest organizations were the Man
haitian Club Of San Francisco and the Tam
many Club OF Los Angeles, which arrived
al Sr NJ
Practically, all the delegates are on the
ground tonight, and the supporters of the
different Guberaaiorial candidates are still
making an active canvass, put the priu-
cipal interest is taken in the result of the
efforts of Stephen NJ. White to secure the
Endorsement of the Convention for United
States Senator
The question OF indorsing White for
the United States Senate has cut great
figure in the Craftsmanship of the Conven-
ton, but the matter seems to be definitely
settled now, and the probabilities are that
there will be no contest tomorrow in the
selection of Chairman.
Byron Waters of San Bernardino, was at
first regarded as the only candidate for the
Chairmsnship, but ex-Congressman James

THE LOTTERY POSTAL BILL.

The objections raised TO the anti-lottery
postal bill by the Iowa Representative are
weak. He urges that the bill is unconsti-
tutional, since it is an infringement of the
liberty of the press. How so? Has the
press license TO print any and all things it
chooses, no matter how detrimental TO the
morals Of the people, Certainly not. The
most ardent opponent Of the anti-lottery
bill will not make such claim. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that the Government has
the right to provide some means for de-
tecting and excluding grossly immoral
matter from the mails-indeed, it has done
so from the inception Of the postal system,
in one way and another, aid no one has
questioned its right. Ii must, therefore,
depute some one to exercise his judgment
as 10 what is improper mail matter. IL
there is abuse Of that judgment, the
Courts can always be appealed to to cor
rect such excess of authority.
Moreover, it is not an abstract constitu

REV. P. ]. McINTosH, the clergyman
who prostituted his Office in San Francisco
on Sunday, by going upon the stage of
low concert hall, a regular underground
dive, and marrying couple of the per-
formers, ought to be stripped of his cleri-
cal robes and drummed out of the church.
He made his sacred Office and sacrament
of his church one of the numbers upon a
programme in low theater, and degraded
the holy estate of matrimony by asking
the blessing of the Almighty upon part
of the performance Of the evenings zen,
tertainment" in dive where decent peo-
pie are not seen, and where the offices Of
his church were jeered and his prayers and
the ceremony of marrying were made the
butt of coarse ridicule.

Market Girls in Bergen.

In Bergen women and girls carry to
market most unwieldy milk cans, great
wooden kegs shaped like churns, well
hoped, and having leather stretched over
the top to prevent waste. They are borne
on the back, being held in place with
straps or ropes, much as knapsack would
be carried.
The fsh-market girls seem to have an
easier time; far less cumbersome are their
scaly burdens, and it is said that great
activity of tongue and gesticulation prevails
among them. Their costume is "a dark
blue petticoat and jacket, kind of Scotch
bonnet drawn well over the head, from be-
meath which jaunty little white cap may
be seen, and about the neck large hand
kerchief is we'll rolled"

THE contrast between the representative
bodies Of the two great political parties Of
the State is about to be made. Hot parti-
sans for the Republicans express the hope
that it will be favorable to their Conven-
ton. But while this may be the ethics Of
partisanship, it is not what the good citi-
zen wishing good government should de-
sire. We ought to hope from the Demo
cratic Convention at San Jose front as
creditable to manhood and independence
as was presented last week by the Republic

THE cat-boat added four more victims
to its long list of dead by the accident at
Crystal Springs lake, San Mateo county,
on Sunday. If there is any water craft
more treacherous or more difficult to sail
than the cat-boat, it has not been heard
of in civilized parts. 1t is the cause of
more untimely deaths than result from the
sailing of ocean ships and steamers, or by
explosion of boat boilers. The catboat
rig requires greater skill to manage
than is demanded to sail fore-and-aft
schooner or a hermaphrodite brig. Old
Captains who have traversed the salt seas
for lifetime cannot be bribed or coaxed
into taking a ride in a catboat They
abhor and dread the craft that is catboat
rugged, unless it hasa catamaran outrig or
loaded center-board, which somewhat
insure against capsize. So dangerous is
the catboat rig, which, if there is an in
stant's jam of the boom as it swings over
for a tack, is liable to cause the boat to go
over with even slight puff of wind, that
it has been seriously considered whether
they should not be prohibited by law on
all boats not fitted with heavily-loaded
center-board or with outraged floats. The
catboat is favorite upon our own river,
and that it has not here added more to the
list of the drowned is matter Of surprise,
since nine times out of ten it is sailed by
persons unskilled IN its management. The
Government already prescribes what hulls
may be sailed, and requires inspection of
boilers and engines even of craft used only
for pleasure boats; why not, therefore,
place in the list the rig of sailing craft
that is threat to life as great as that of a
weak boiler?

A WRITER in the arena shows that
while two per cent. of the population Of
London is foreign, in New York eighty
per cent. is foreign-born. While it must
be in the nature of things that the Ameri-
can city should have far greater proper
ton of foreign elements, it may well be
considered if the percentage for the city
of New York is not SO large as to suggest
that the time has come for much greater
restriction of immigration. The writer
referred to has this TO say:
To verify Emersons prediction to work out
our political destiny and develop the highest
type of civilization, radical change in our sys-
tenn of immigration seems absolutely essential.
The instincts of selfproteC ton, not to say self
preservation, require such a change. No nu-
man institutions can endure indefinitely the
strain which our present policy, if persisted in,
will inevitably put upon our social and politi-
cal life. II we cannot sifG the immigration
which is pouring in upon US from every quarter
of the globe-and every effort to do SO hitherto
has proven abortive--should not sense of
duty and responsibility to ourselves and our
children, as well as to the human race, impel
us to close the doors entirely for time, or at
least to make the attempt?
We should say no, not close the doors
entirely for time, or at all, but so provide
for the incoming that the invitation
will run only to those in sympathy with
our system, and who we believe will make
good citizens and sincerely intend to be-
come such. The standard of judgment
should be so high, and the qualifications
SO exacting, that we will have as appli-
cants only those whom, if it were given us
to do, we would pick and choose from
the populations of the world.
