sion in this City.
On the 18th and 18Th of September last
Convention of irrigation district officers
was held at Tulare City, and part of its
mission was to form permanent Associa-
ton of Irrigation Districts. embracing all
of the districts in the State. This organ
ization has not been entirely completed,
and session is now being held at Room IA
in the Clunie building in this city, for the
purpose of perfecting the organization, and
preparing such legislation as is deemed
needful.
There are now twenty eight districts or
ganized under the district law in the State,
and twenty-six of these are actively at
work furthering the objects for which they
were formed.
There are embraced within these dis
tricts l, 763, 152 acres of land, and they have
voted bonds in the. aggregate sum of &c.
100000, of which 81 1913 500 have been sold.
A number of di-tricts have not yet voted
bonds, and a number of those which have
voted bonds have not placed them upon
the market
1t is understood that, in addition to
minor amendments to the law, the Legis-
lature will be asked for an Act giving legal
sanction to this State Association of dis
tricts, and comforting upon it certain super
vising powers which seem needful to guard
against injudicious action upon the part of
districts, but it is not the intention to ask
for any great amount of pecuniary assist
ance.
This Association held two sessions yes
terday, and will reconvene to-day at 10
o'clock, for the consideration of proposed
amendments to the law.

the Constitution for the abandonment of
the school book system.

the Constitution for the abandonment of
the school book system.
The viciousness of the assault, the long
preparation it indicates, its sweeping char
acter, its falsehood and Misrepresentation,
clearly disclose its source and the motive
that underlies it. There is money behind
the whole thing, not public interest. The
sack is clearly seen and the bid for legisla-
tive assistance to undo the school book
system is undisguised. There are none,
unfortunately, to stand for the people in
this matter except the fearless and indie
pendent press. They have no advocate
against the syndicate lawyers and agents,
except the voice of such of the press as is
not subservient to the rings. So far as the
RECcRD-UNIoN is concerned, it did battle
for the new system; it believes in it; it
believes it has had fully as great success
as was to have been expected, when the
fact is taken into account that it was COM
mitted to its enemies, for the most part,
for carrying out. That is to say, that the
State Board of Education has not, as a
body, shown that warm friendship for the
system that it should. Some of the mem
bers were open opponents of the system
prior to adoption, and some labored for it
thereafter in meek sort of manner not
at all encouraging to its real friends. 1t
should have been put into the hands of an
independent and wholly friendly board
Had that been done, the utter folly, for
instance, of accepting from second-rate
teacher one of the textbooks complete,
because he gave the MSS. to the State,
would not have been committed
Let Legislators not take for granted all
that is charged against the system; let
them investigate the matter if they
choose; but whatever they do, let them
not brave the people by daring to loose
upon them once more the infamous po-
litical school book system; the private
ring of book men: the agents with their
sacks, and the secret representatives OF
book syndicates, to corrupt the district and
county boards, and bride even the children
at their desks.

THE ASSAULT UPON THE SCHOOL
BOOKS.

The assault of the book rings upon the
State school books has been opened. We
were we'll aware that it was to be made,
and knew precisely the form it was to
take. We had not anticipated, however,
that there would be quite such wholesale
dealing in falsehood and misrepresenta-
ton. We do not propose now to take up
the charges in detail. 1t would be profit
less to do so. In the main they are, that
the books cost toe much; that they are
of inferior quality; that the State never
has, and therefore never can, produce as
good book as the private individual.
We might, for arguments sake, admit
every one of these propositions, though
they are not true, and still maintain for
the State infinite gain in the elimination
of the book ring, with all its -eerrapting
influences and Generalization, from the
politics, the schools and the school boards
of the State That is to say, if the text
books we now have are, in the opinion Of
the County superintendent, but half as
good as the books of the ring, and if they
cost twice the price of the books of the
ring, we have made a happy and bene6cent
change in trading off the ring and putting
it OUT of the halls of legislation and the
schools and Boards of Education.
If for moment we admit that some of
the textbooks are not up to the ideal
standard, let us seek for the cause, not
abandon the system. 1t has come to a
pretty pass, indeed, if all knowledge and
skill is crystallized in the editors and
compilers whom private publishers en-
ploy. 1t is strange, indeed, that State
coin cannot command ability of as high an
order as is at the beck and call of private
capital. But while some of the books are
not, perhaps, up to the highest all-around
standard, and while carping critics may
take them to pieces, they are capable of
being made precisely what we wish them
to be. 1t does not follow that We must
abandon the system that puts up the bars
against the book agent and his sack nor
once more turn the parents of the State
over to the tender mercies of the publish
ers who have amassed tens of millions out
Of the profits of school textbooks. As a
matter of fact, the State school books
cost the people fifty per cent. less than
school books under the old system, and all
the figuring of the ring literary bureau
cannot defeat the fact.
We say tina. this assault was foreseen
So it was; the book ring never intended
to give over California. 1t has been too
fat a goose to be yielded without struggle.
The syndicates have planned their attack
well; they have laid their trenches with
cunning and run their parallels with con-
summate skill. They have waited until
Just before the Legislature meets, and then
poured upon it such mass of involved
figures that with wholly new set Of Off
Gals coming in, the hope is entertained
that the legislators will not be able to go
to the bottom of the matter, and in sheer
desperation will submit an amendment to

SoLICTToR-GENERAL CLARKE of Great
Britain is reported byswire as saying that
Lord Salisbury only asserts the doctrine
laid down by the United States, that nc
nation can claim sovereignty over an open
sea. Wrong again, Mr.. Clarke, though you
be Solicitor-General. The United States
does not base its claim to protect the seals
upon the assumption that Behring Sea is a
closed sea. 1t does claim, not sovereignty
over the sea, but over the taking of seals
anywhere in the sea, for the very excellent
reason that they breed upon one of our
shores, migrate to another and there as
semble. Now to take these seals en- route
we claim is unlawful interference with our
property and right in it which we pur-
chased from nation whose title was never
disputed. That is the long and the short
of the matter. British poachers desire to
be let alone in their lying in wait to take
our seals as they pass by, and that is
policy we can never agree to.

ADJUSTMENTS.

A better house witnessed the second ap-
pearance of Miss Adelaide Moore last
night. She played the leading part in
LeClercq's Fatal Marriage" It is dis
NAL melodrama There is not touch of
light in it. Miss Moore failed to invest
with any spirit or vigor the part she
assumed She lacks sadly in emotional
roles the vitality and fire necessary. She
has intellectually enough, but will never
please American audiences with such
pulseless efforts as that of last night Her
Juliet was of some merit, her Madaline of
the very least. The American stage is
accustomed to something more of womanly
vigor and depth of feeling in such roles.

CHEAP MONEY AND MORTGAGES
The mOneyed class is always in the
position to guard itself aud the bad
effects OF disturbing financial legisla-
ton, and even to profit by it at the ex-
pense of the poorer class. A compe-
tent authority upon the subject of farm
mortgages declares that ninety per
cent. of them are negotiated by system
attic lenders, banks and corporations
organized for this express purpose,
and that it has been the custom of
many of these lenders to make the
mortgage debt, both principal and in.
terest, payable in gold. It is believed
that fully half of all the mortgage
Indebtedness of the country is in terms
expressly payable in gold, though this
is more generally the case in urban
than in farm loans. IF we were to
have free silver coinage, and the cOun-
try were to reach the silver standard,
and gold were to rise to one hundred
and twenty or thereabOuts, mortgagers
who are counting upon having their
debts reduced by the change would
soon discover their error. They would
find that they would have to pay one
hundred and twenty dollars in silver
for every instaiment of one hundred
dollars interest in gold. In other
words, they, and not the capitalists
and mOney-lenders, would be the los
ers fro IN this as from every other form
of "cheap mOney"-Ihe Century fol

Mr.. Frederick Tudor, who made a
fortune in the ice trade and was first to
export ice to foreign countries, has
given to the Boston Historical Society
a sketch of the foundation of what was
once an important branch of BOstOn's
foreign commerce, but which is now
simply reduced to the local ice busi-
ness. Indeed it appears that the ex-
pOrtatiOn of ice has declined of late
until the business is but a shadow of
what it once was. Ice factories have
superseded, in large measure, the nat
ural ice. They make all the ice re.
quired in Cuba and the East Indies,
and shipments from Boston to southern
ports are no longer profitable. Recent
improvements have so cheapened the
ice-making process that, to-day, in all
the leading Southern cities there are
ice factories which are owned by
Northern firms that a few years ago
cut ice in New England and shipped it
South ct profit.

Sunrise on Mt. Elias.

In the morning was awakened py
the croaking of a raven on the snow
Immediately over my head, and found
that the soft blue light of my grotto
was replaced at the entrance by pink
radiance. telling that the day had
dawned, bright and clear.
What glorious sight awaited me.
The heavens were without cloud, and
the sun shone with dazzling splendor
on the white robed mountains. The
broad uubroken snOw-plain seemed to
burn with light, reflected from millions
of snow crystals. The great peaks
were draped from base to summit in
the purest white, yet uDscarred by av-
alanches. On the steep cliffs the
snow hung in folds of drapery, tier
above tier, while the angular peaks
above stood out like crystals against
the sky. St. Elias was one vast pyra-
mid of alabaster. The winds were
still. Not n sound broke the solitude.
Not an object moved. Even the raven
had gone, leaving me alone on the
mountain.
AS the sun rose higher and higher,
and made its warmth felt, the SHOWS
were loOsened here and there on the
steep slopes, and broke away, gather
ing force as they fell, and rushed down
in avalanches that made the mountains
tremble, and awakened the echoes
with roar like thunder. From a
small beginning, high up on the slope,
the new snow would slip down silently
at first, and cascade over precipices
hundreds of feet high, looking like a
fall of foaming water, then came the
roar, increasing in volume as the dOw-
ing snow involved new fields in its
path of destruction, until the great
mass became irresistible and ploweJ
its way downward through clouds o.
snow spray, which hung in the air lonl
after the roar of the avalanche haC
ceased. All day long, until the shad
Ows Ofevening fell on the steep slopes
this mountain thunder continued. TIL,
echoes of one avalanche scarcely dice
away before they were awakened By
another roar. To witness such a seen,
under the most favorable condition
was worth all the trouble and anxiet,
it cost.-IsrdeL c. Russell.
