once week OF so, aud though lecturers
who could draw were well paid. the course
generally put money into the lyceum
treasury, and it was the means of educat-
ing young men and young women on
matters which are not always taught at
schools. 1t might be difficult to exaggerate
the benefit which the system has conferred
on the people of the East.
Here the societies which have the lee
ture business In charge rely largely for
their lecturers on the two universities.
The staff OF these Institutions contains
gentlemen who are admirably qualified for
the lost. More Instructive and entertain
ing lecturers than President Jordan and
Professor LIE Conte could not easily be
found anywhere. Those among their jun
iors who realize that popular audience is
not college class which is bound to listen
to the lecturer however dry and unin ter
esting be may be are almost equally de.
lightful. The Mercantile Library has
lately made an arrangement with DIR.
Conan Doyle, the novelist, for a course of
three lectures, for which he is to be well
paid. Another lecture bureau is in treaty
with General Wallace. the author of "Ben
Hur" and 1.-THE Prince of India" for TWO
lectures. Other popular lecturers from
abroad are likely to be obtainable from
time to time to give pleasing variety to
the course. 1t is quite possible that many
men might be found in this community
outside of university circles who would
both entertain and instruct audiences.

ROUTE OF TIE VALLEY ROAD.

The report comes from Stockton that
the Uni ed Railway Company is asking the
Common Council for franchise that will,
if granted, rule Stockton out as the east
ern terminus of the San Joaquin Rail-
road. 1t is not supposed that the Common
Council will side-track that city at the re-
quest of the parties who may and may not
be seeking for a franchise to sell to the
Southern Pacific Company. While it is
possible for the Common Council of Stock
ten to withhold the franchise the Traffic
Association wants, it is not possible for
that body to prevent the construction of
the valley road 1t is not intiInated that
any such purpose exists. The Stockton
Common Council was not elected by the
Southern Pacific; it will act in the
matter in the interest of the city it rep
reseuts.
Traffic Manager Leeds is so we'll salts
fed with the financial outlook that he does
not propose TO wait until the last dollar is
subscribed to commence preparatory work.
Failure to raise the required amount is not
now considered within the range of prob
able events. The long campaign of the
.Traffi Association is now bearing fruit
The canyassers for stock subscriptions do
not have to expIaio the features of the
enterprise. The value of the road as
an agency in the revival Of railroad bust
ness is realized by all classes of business
men,. by capitalists, merchants, artisans
and laborers. The precise route the road
will take has not yet been determined
upon, but so far from obstacles being
thrown in the way. the only question is
as to which route offers the greatest in
ducements.

THE LECTURE SEASON.

As the winter approaches preparations
are being made for the lecture season.
Connected with most Of the Protestant
churches body of ladies, generally called
an auxiliary society, takes upon itself the
duty of arranging for course of lectures
during the winter, the proceeds of the lee
lures TO be devoted to charity or to the dis
semination of religious literature. These
societies have been gaining strength of
late. The class of persons of both sexes
who are willing to alternate lecture
night with a theater night or concert
night is quite large; there is no reason why
the lecture habit should not take firm root
here. 1t is much to be desired that it
should.
A course of lectures, delivered by we'll
informed lecturer who possesses the gilt
of impartlng his Information 10 pleasing
manner, so as to hold the attention of his
audience. Is of vast educational value.
The audience learn In the course of an
hour and half things which it would
take them days and weeks to dig out of
books. Ii the lecturer knows his business
they are entertained while they are To-
structed, and thus the teachings of the
lecture sink into their memories and re-
m ain there. whereas the instruction con-
veyed in books is often presented in so dry
and dull shape that it is forgotten almost
as soon as 1t is jmbibed. In the East. the
lecture system was brought to perfection
by the lyceums some thirty years ago. Ii
was found that the work could be better
done by lay societies than by the churches.
In each town. large and small, lyceum
was esta bllshed-often in connection with
a. public library; the directors OF the
lyceum engaged popular lecturers to talk

and DR.. Bryan were mem hers of the CON-
mission which sold the Misson-street site
to the Government for sum about twice
as large as real-es:ate experts considered
it worth. The proceeding was certainly
courageous. Better soldiers than either Mr..
Irish or DR.. Bryan would have run away at
the suggestion of such proposition. Mr..
Irish also had good word for President
Cleveland, who had bonoreG and trusted
him in spite of what the newspapers said
about the postoffice site. Whether or not this
remarkable example of trust reflects credit
upon President Cleveland is matter of
opinion. 1t depends somewhat upon one s
moral sense. Mr.. Irish thinks it does !;
other friends of Mr.. Cleveland thinks it
does not. If vote could be taken on the
issue the betting would be against Mr..
Cleveland's Naval Officer.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

Chairman Eugene Deuprey characterizes
the little contention which occurred in tn g
Democratic convention as friendly af-
fairs, which were in the interest of the
election of good candidates. He is rather
pr I'D of the judicial nominees of the con-
vention of whom the unspeakabe Levy
is one. The people will also be somew lat
surprised at the assertion of Mr.. Deuprey
that the ticket is Stree from the faint of
bossism." 1t is presumed that success in
getting through the convention is the form
of baptism which cleansed them Of faint
which was quite perceptible in the heat of
the fight. Mr.. Deuprey's Endorsement of
the whole ticket means simply that the
speaker is in the Democratic procession
ana so near the head that he will not take
the risk of a temporary step-out
