A Programme Well Rendered and Full
of Merit.

Yesterday afternoon the closing exercises
of the school at Twenty. seventh and J
streets were held. The,assembly-room was
crowded with visitors, and many who
could not gain admittance remained in the
hallway and on the front portico, where
they were highly entertained by choice
literary and musical programme. The
Board OF School Directors and Superintend-
ent Tart were present, and they were loud
IN their praise of the teachers and pupils.
Miss Helen R. Taylor, as Principal, and
Miss Laura Kirn, as Assistant, have taught
this school successfully for several years.
The blackboard drawings were of a supe-
rior order, and the singing of the lis pu-
pills eyinced careful vocal instruction.
The decorations of the room were fine
and exhibited considerable artistic taste.

UNCONSCIOUS TESTIMONY.

Postmaster-General Wanamaker uncon-
sciously said a good word for international
copyright the other day. In letter to
the Postoffice Committee on the subject of
CHASING paper-covered books with full
bound books and compelling them to pay
the same postage, he said that ''it is not
cheap postage which has made books cheap,
but various other agencies, including the
absence of an international copyright law,
enabling publishers to reprint books with
out authorial EXPENSE If this were to
be taken as approval of the literary piracy
that disgraces American publishing, it
would not be to the credit of the Postmas.
ter-General, whose house is charged with
having dabbled in that line of business.
But 1t was not said for that purpose; it was
intended to illustrate an argument the
officer was making upon the postal propo-
sition. 1t is, however, strong expression
In favor of international copyright, for it
is true that for cheap books of a certain
order we are indebted to the policy that
enables the American publishers to reprint
them without eompensating the author,
whose genius made the book possible In
the light of this official statement, what
have the people to say of the morality that
justities the robbery of an author, but will
punish the eak-thief who takes a coat
trom ones hallway? Where is the dis
tinction between the two crimes, in NOR
ais? We confess that we never have been
able to see any.

Has the State Dental Association acted
wisely in renewing its rule that its mem
bers shall not, by signs, circulars and, we
presume, by advertisements, announce
their business, or that they are specially
skilled in any direction? Il would seem
that Of all the professions there is most
reason for the employment of advertise
ments by dentists Those who wish their
services naturally look for announcements
where to find them, and for statements of
the methods they employ in extracting,
and in treating diseases of the teeth. By
compliance with the order of the Associa-
tion, the dentist who is really skilled in
his profession leaves the field to the charl-
atans who will advertise and employ all
means to tap the purse of the people. The
regular" on the other hand, is not free,
under the rule, to expose the pretender or
to announce where honest and safe treat
ment can be had and that recognized
legitimate methods of treatment are en-
ployed

POLITICAL PROPHECIES.

The Los Angeles Herald is warm in It's
prophecy that this is to be Democratic
year in California. 1t is the part of the
partisan journal to keep up party courage
by such forecasts, but the independent
Journalist, whatever his political predelic-
ions, is able to form a more correct judg-
ment. There is really nothing in the ex-
preston of the people thus far in cam
paign preparations to warrant any such
prophetic utteranees as those in which the
Herald INDUCES. On the contrary, that
Republican strength viii be maintained
If not augmented, seems reasonably GER
tain. The Republican administration, as
We the other day pointed out, has been
thoroughly satisfactory to the country,
while locally there is no reason to look for
any measurable de5ertion from the party.
1t is yet too early to forecast the result in
this State-when the candidates are in the
field some fairly good idea of what will be
the complexion of the verdict can be OBJ
tanned. 1t appears to US that there viii be
Republican majority in the Legislature
and Republican Governor There may
be division of some of the State offices I;
personal strength of candidates is going to
count for great deal this year unques-
tionably in several contests for State posi-
tions below the grade of Governor; but as
We look at the field, we anticipate a vic
tory for the Republican ticket on the
whole, and that in the chief Offices we
shall see Republicans seated, as the result
of the fall contest. There is great deal
of chatter about the Republicans boiling if
faVorite sons are not nominated by the party
in this or that section, but we cannot dis
cover that there is real justification for
these expressions. We do not believe that
the Republicans of any section of the State
are going over to the common enemy if a
local fayorite does not secure nomination
for the State Office to which he aspires.
If those who entertain the fear referred
to can give any good reasonn for their be-
lief, they owe it to the party to make it
known. No astute politician has COM
mitted himself to such views or has vent
ured to impugn the loyalty of the Repub-
Gcans of the State to their organization,

THE French Cabinet, according to re-

The proposition was to coerce this nation
into submission to an order of things that
would give European manufacturers free

Unhappily for the French scheme, all the
other powers refused to have anything to
do with it. They saw that it would be a
proceeding that could well be classed
among unfriendly acts, and that would re-
coil upon their own heads at some early
opportunity. We cannot but regret that a
nation toward which we have had such
kindly feeling, and with whom we have
been in such close sympathy, should have
attempted to stir up ill-will among the
great nations against the United States.

THE San Francisco papers have set up
the annual growl about the Industrial
School. The school is a total failure, and
has been for twenty-five years But why
bemoan the fact ? Every time an effort is
made to abolish the concern, San Fran
cisco protests and prevents the reform.
The school is one of crime. The neo-
phytes in lawlessness are there confirmed
in crime, and the school is thus really a
curse 10 the State. Probably dozen
times the Grand Jury Of San Francisco
has condemned the institution and ad-
vised its abandonment, but the thing goes
on Just the same. II appears to have a
apuIp' against which the common dictates
of reason are powerless.
