Objections to Il. n. Seymour for Sena-
tor-Looal Matters.
SAN BERNARDINo, Sept. 23.-Mrs. Jos.
Tyler is quite i'll, at her residence on
Tenth street.
Yesterday being the Jewish new year,
the merchants of that creed observed
the day as a holiday, and closed their
places of business.
Miss Josie Skinner, who has been a
sufferer for many months, has taken
relapse, aud her condition is deemed se-
rious.
There is more dissatisfaction because
of the nomination OF E @. Seymour for
state senator than the Republicans, like
to acknowledge, ard they earnestly i'm.
plore their party members to uphold the
nominee, regardless of personal feeling.
To the average man of braine, there are
some things Of more importance than
party loyalty, especially where the par.
ty places men in nomination who do
not represent the better element of the
party. Because man is stalwart Re-
publican, q prominent Grand Army man
and politician OF repute, is no reason
be should be given one of the highest
Offices the state can offer, when he lacks
those traits of character necessary to
produce the Weldon born of ability and
repute. Ii it be true that the next
senate may be called upon to elect two
United States senators, then the beet
and wisest men the state can furnish
should compose that body.
The new high school building grows
in architectural beauty as it nears COM
| pletion, and it will be one of which the
city can we'll be proud.
School interests are receiving much
attention this week, because of a resolu-
ton passed by the city fathers condemn
| ing the present method of conducting
public schools. With the advent of the
present city superintendent of schools,
Alexander Frye, a new method Of teach
ing was introduced. The theory of this
method is to develop the scholars mind
by training his thoughts and increasing
his thinking capacity, and for that pur-
pose object lessons are used whenever
possible. Advanced educators heartily
endorse the system, but most OF the
parents, and many of the older pupils,
fail to see the rapid advancement in
scholarship they expected, and so con-
denim the method as ''study OF bugs
and mud pies" 1t is said of son ol
Erin, whose little girl had been studying
practical physiology, that his inquiry
was: "Mary, can you bone frog?''
Many of the parents are displessed that
so much time is given to the study oi
natures physical wonders, and not to
the things that tend to money getting.
The action OF the trustees in passing the
resolution was certainly premature, and
will not receive the endorsement of the
cultured.
NJ. B. Garner has R. Hargraves, ol
Santa Ana, as his guest.
Mrs. j. II. Hughes left on the South
ern Pacific, Wednesday evening, for
Spokane Falls, Wash.
Denver to make his parents a short
visit.
There is considerable real estate
changing hands, and many new build
ings within the corporate limit prove
the prosperous condition of the city
No more booms are wanted. but steady
good business outlook for the winter il
assured, if indications do not prevari
| cate.
