TEST YOUR SEEDS.

Many hundreds Of dollars
will be lost and much disap-
pointment incurred this spring
by sowing stale AMI poo seeds
in field and garden. Much Of
this loss AMI annoyance may be
prevented by testing the seeds
before sowing them. The North
Carolina Experiment Station
has facilities for testing seeds.
and its services are, free of
charge, at the disposal Of any
farmer in the State.
Farmers wishing seeds tested
must decide early what kinds
Of seeds they intend to SOW this
spring, then procuse samples
and forward to the Station. Such
samples should contain for
grass and similar field seeds
about 2 o.; for tobacco and
most garden seeds l or.
y complete test OF clover
seed requires about one week;
most other seeds require two
weeks. The postage OF seeds
must be prepaid and costs
cent per ounce. 4 letter II
advice should be sent, giving
name of sender, name of seller,
and price paid for the seod.The
Station advises, always, lis
friends that the best quality Of
seeds is, as q rule, tie chcapest.

HELPING CARRY THE TARGET.
The Great Sacramento Ball Team
Rolled In the Dust.
Oakland Downs McCloskey's Men In a
Fine Fielding but Poor Hitting
Game-The Score.

The great Sacramento team of left
handed ball players-the Capital City's
imported giants-is now helping Oakland
to carry the target.
The dispatches detailing yesterdays
game at San Francisco say that the after
noon was cloudy and threatening and the
attendance at the game was below the
weekday average. The contesting clubs
were the Oaklands and Sacramentos. The
former won by score of to l.
The batting on both sides was very
weak, but the fielding was excellent, par
ticularly that of Works, who made two
fine running catches, and O'Neill, who
cleverly handled number of difficult
chances.
In the first inning Long hit for triple
and scored on McQuaid's sacrifice. In the
fourth, Lohman's single, sacrifice by
Hines, Youngman's safe hit and wild
pitch gave the Colonels another run.
The Sacramentos' lonely run was made
in the fifth, when Garfield sent three bat
ters to first base on balls, and sacrifice
allowed a man on third to cross the plate
The score was as follows:

$50. All the probabilities are that as an
economic, not sentimental movement,
the scheme will prevail Possibly it may
not reach the figure asked, but that the
saloon will be required to contribute very
much more to public revenue and to con-
form to stricter regulation in the metropo-
lis is certain. If, however, there is
reason why it should there pay greater
license fees, and the number of saloons
be decreased, there is greater reason why
there should be license reform in Sacra-
mento. Not as temperance measure,
not as persecution of the interest, not as
a discriminating measure, but as SIM
pie business proposition, and a means to
relieve the burdens of taxpayers and
lessen the need for public protection.
For instance, what reason can be ad-
vanced in support of our schedule of
rates that taxes real estate broker $40
quarter and charges a saloon but SIS for
license to conduct business? The one de-
mands no police protection, needs no
regulation, contributes nothing at all to
municipal cost; the other is a direct
creator of need for police, for watchful-
ness and for the maintenance of courts
of high taxation.

THE SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL.


The people of this city are not losing
sight of the need for general supervising
principal over the schools of the city. 1t
has been represented in some quarters
that the RECORD UNION advocates dis
pensing with all school principals and the
appointment of but one over all the
schools in their stead. This is either
error on the part of those circulating the
story, because of inability to compre-
hend plain English, or it is the outcome
of knavery. This paper has made no
argument in favor of any such PROPOSE
ton.
The principalships of schools as at pres
ent should remain; the idea of abolishing
them is idiotic. But what we insist upon
is essential to well ordered school sys-
tenn, is a trained educator of execu-
tive ability and broad experience over
the whole system, to represent the au-
thority of the Board of Education, and the
official power of that body, outside of the
perfunctory duties imposed upon the
superintendent we elect. That is to say,
we need a commander for the ship, a
President for our school colleges-so to
speak-a manager for the business, head
for the educational scheme, as well as one
for the clerical department., and which the
elective Superintendent fills.
Since in nearly all other cities in the
Union there is just such an officer as we
bespeak for Sacramento, the question as
to the wisdom of the policy is really not
an open one. It is, then, but question
of means. There can be provided one
supervising principal, having the whole
system under his eye, detecting weak
ness, warning against impairment and
encouraging competency; harmonizing
the departments, reducing friction, secur-
ing full and easy play of each part with
all other parts of the system; advising
the Board of Education, relieving it of
multitude of cares and annoyances-suc
an officer will render the principalship
of primaries useless. If, as may be well
done, the special German teacher is
dropped, or rather his place now vacant
is left to so remain, there will be pro-
vided nearly salary enough to secure for
Sacramento a competent educator for
supervising principal. If the Board of
Education will do this, if it will have the
courage to employ for itself such an as
sistant, it will, within one year, discover
such Improvement in our schools, such
vigor and energy in our methods, such
shaking up of errors and correction of
faults, such harmonizing and fabrication
of the machinery as will make every
member of the board wonder why the
plan was not long ago adopted Ger
tainly what is good for the school system
of San Francisco will be beneficial to that
of Sacramento. The metropolis has the
benefit of just such inspection and super
vision as is now asked for Sacramento.
and there is no reason why the capital
city should not have it.

STANLEY told the New York reporters
that he gave up his Texas trip because
the crevasses in the river south Of Los
Angeles would have compelled him to
give uG his New Orleans engagement had
he kept thosein Texas. Stanley was here
about the time of the overflow of the
rivers in Southern California and in Ari-
zona, which interrupted communication
between New Orleans and San Francisco
The longest interruption, however, lasted
five days, and communication has not
since been interrupted. If Stanley had
taken the Texas trip he would have been
in communication with New Orleans, as
communication between that city and
Texas has not been interrupted at any
time during the present winter longer
than twelve hours.
We have always looked upon Stanley
as the most stupendous of modern frauds
This statement of his to the New York
press is characteristic in its sloppy mac
curacy. A little later Stanley's explora-
tions will be better understood by a
greater intimacy with the countries he
pretends to explore. When the stories of
his achievements are told by some one
else than himself they will lose much
of their glittering Munchausenism.

Carrying Half of the Target.

By losing yesterdays game of ball at
San Francisco the Sacramentos forfeited
third place in the League race, and to-
gether with the Oaklands bear the target.
Those who pretend to know say that
McCloskey's men are not pursuing the
proper course for players who are anxious
to get rid of supertiuous flesh and work
themselves into the condition for playing
ball. Rumor has it that several members
of the club spend great part of their
evenings in saloon on lower X street,
which is not classed as respectable place
by any means.
Sacramento audiences like to see ball
games, and they like to see the home
team composed of men who have some
respect for themselves. The rumor may
have been false, but if the continued con-
duct of the players confirms it, the club
will not become popular here for many
day.
McCloskey is a good manager, however
-one of the best in the profession-and
he will no doubt put a stop to any prac-
tice which he thinks will injure the repu-
tation Of his team.

a CHAPTER OF CONTRADICTIONS.

Commend us to unreason! Here we
find local contemporary intelligence
giving birth after much travail to this
astounding statement:
Now, both Secretary Evarts and Blaine him
self had held that, in the case Of the Chinese of
Denver, there was no obligation of Indemnity
and certainly none arising from treaty stipu-
lation." With this principle thus established
where was the wrong when Blaine assured
Italy that the United States recognized the
right to indemnity for rights secured by
treaty. Neither Evarts nor Blaine nor any-
body else ever contended otherwise.
Bless your soul, friend, cannot you read
English-good everyday English? What
Evarts and Blaine held was that
in the case of the Chinese of Dem
yer there was no obligation ''upon the
United States to make indemnify" etc.
The italicized words are omitted from the
brave statement quoted. And what a
wondrous change their restoration does
make to be sure.
Now, the RECoRD-U UNION, in common
with the mass of the thoughtful journals
of the day, says. Mr.. Blaine blundered in
principle of indemnity to italian SUBJ
jects," etc. Plain as pike-staff, is it not,
that the Mr.. Blame of 1881 is at odds with
the Mr.. Blaine of 1891? But, 10, here is
another blazing wonder. Our contem-
porary referred to says:
Italy understands that she can secure in
demnlty only when treaty rights are violated
faf
neSe, and which was not the case with the vic
inns OF the New Orleans uprising.
Strange, is it not, that the same author
ity that is thus defended so fatty contra
diets its champion? Mr.. Blaine, in his
letter to Governor Nichols, under date
of March Is, 1891, said:
our treaty with that friendly Government
Italy which under the Constitution is the
supreme law OF the land, guarantees TO Italian
subjects domictled IN the United States. 1.-The
most constant protection and security for
their persons and property" making them
amenable on the same basis as orr own citi-
zens 70 the laws ofthe United States, and the
several states, in their due and early admin
tstration.
Precisely similar protest and declara-
ton was issued in the Denver case.
But it was accompanied then, as it must
be now, by distinct disavowal of Federal
responsibility to pay indemnity. The
friends of the aliens may pursue New
Orleans in the courts, and that is all the
right they have, to strive for indemnity.
Certainly the killing of the aliens in New
Orleans was in violation of their right to
protection from violence. Certainly, too,
New Orleans is responsible in damages.
Our neighbor should overhaul itself and
get straight. The more it founders in
Mr.. Blaine's blunder the more it sinks
rrom sight.
