The Gold Fever.

II was u resident of San Francisco In
1S4S when the gold fever struck that
part Of the country" said Matthew L.
Farrell, one of the pioneers of Califor-
MIA, land it seemed as though all the
people went wild with excitement. As
soon as 1t became known that gold had
been discovered men fastened to sell
their real estate and merchandise that
they might obtain means to journey to
the gold diggings. Rowboats worth $50
were sold for $500 to those wishing to
sail up the bay into the Sacramento
river. The price of shovels and picks
jumped from 81 to $40. Stores were
rummaged for bottles, walls and brass
tubes to hold the gold when found.
In !ess than two months San Fran
cisco was as if swept by a pcstilcnce.
Three ourths of the male population
had gone to the mines. Real estate
dropped fully one half in value, and the
same happened to all merchandise not
used in the mines Labor rose tenfold
in price. Negro walters received $40 a
day and cooks SIS, but even such wages
as these could not induce the eager gold
seekers to remain in the city. Nearly
every one went to try his luck. Some
made their fortunes, but many came
back good deal poorer than when they

A Healthy Indication.

A Washington dispatch says the
general but gradual revival of bust
ness is making itself felt in the treas-
ury by the heavy demand for small
notes of the denominations of ones
and twos. Money of this class is in
great demand in the South and South
west especially, and, while the treas
ury is doing its utmost to accommo-
date all who ask for small money, it
cannot always supply all orders as
promptly as desired. Preference is
given to orders when gold is deposit
ed for small notes, as it is the policy
of the treasury to build up its gold
reserve by all legitimate means. In
the West gold is being freely deposit
ed for snch money as the banks de-
sire, and no delay is experienced in
filling all orders promptly. In the
West, however, very little money of
denominations less than S. and $40 is
wanted, and this class of money can
be readily supplied.
For the past six weeks the amount
OF money sent to the treasury for re-
demption has been UNUSUALLY heavy,
averaging since September $780,
900 daily.

Women on the Platform.
New York Press


A feminine candidate for Superin
tendent of Public Instruction in Col
orado has challenged her opponent,
also of the same sex, to discuss with
her on the stump, in Lincoln Douglas
fashion, the issues of the campaign.
And why not? At the numerous con.
crosses and conferences held at Chi
cago last year women exhibited de-
batting skill of high order in discuss
ing social and religious questions. In
the arts, sciences and professions
women are perpetually coming into
rivalry and competition with one
another. Why should they be de-
barred from the hustlings? What
topics more timely, serious and i'm
portant are there and what interests
more intimately concern the welfare
OF the community and home than those
which now constitute the staple of
popular comment? BY all means let
woman's voice be heard upon the
stump if she SO wishes it. The home
will never suffer where women take
an earnest and intelligent interest in
that which Safeguards and upbuilds
the home.

WJesus Paid II ALL

A. M. N. finds fault with the little
poem, "Jesus paid it ALL" and speaks
in wounded spirit, Now, by the SIF-
TIERS leave, a word with this Christian
writer. We all understand that, ac-
cording to the church, certain condi-
tions.are required before Jesus cancels
the bill. If A. M. N. owes his neigh
Dor 500 he will not expect the debt
to be forgiven until he has counted out
the shcckels. But according to orlho-
doxy nothing need be paid at all by
the sinner, Jesus Will pay it all. To
illustrate: Here is man whose whole
life from the cradle to the grave, has
been filled with crimes and debaucher-
les, commencing with spite, hatred,
envy and thieving and finishing up
with bbery, incest and murder. At
the nge of three score and ten-having
Arrived at the brink of the grave-he
repents and says, "Here Lord | give
myself away, It's all that | can dow
and Immediately free pass 10 the
realms of glory is issued to him. Now
this man hasn't paid farthing. Who
has? Why, "Jesus pays it ALL"
Here is another whose whole life has
been consistently honest and upright.
He has been a good citizen, the best Of
husbands and the kindest of fathers.
He dies without embracing Jesus, after
the orthodox style, and is at once turn
ed over to his satanic majesty who sets
him to shoveling birthstone, while the
other fellow plays on the golden harp.
Jesus don't pay anything for him. Do
you deny this2 You can't. The BIZ
bic says one can be forgiven 70 times
seven-490 times. Now think of
man lying, cheating, stealing and rob-
bing virtue of It's fair name for 400
days or months and each time being
70 given. Who pays for all this VIC
lalion of Gods laws? "Jesus pays it
all" The Christian Crusaders, who
recently held forth at So. Londonderry
preached night after night that good
works would not save you. That how
ever good citizen, husband, wife,
brother or sister you might be unless
you "come to Jesus"-in their way,
Of course-you would be eternally
damned. And this was sanctioned by
both the Baptist and Methodist church
es, who gave themtheir support. Now
my dear A. M. N. the fault is not in
the writer of the poem but in those who
preach such abominable doctrines.

FREE TEXT BOOKS.

Editor Sitter will you allow us
space for few thoughts in regard to
the work of the coming Legislature !?
Your editorial last week was in many
respects we'll timed but we noticed
that you omitted any reference to
school matters. That is subject up
on which we think that further legis-
laticn is needed.
First we need free text books, no
one thoroughly conversant with the
workings of our school system can
well think otherwise.
The advantages are these; Pupils
can then be put to the studying of
such books as are but adapted to
their individual needs. The teacher
and the superintendent can then ar
range the classes as they deem best.
AS conditions now exist, the parents
decide what books their children shall
use. In many instances this may he
well, but in the majority of cases it
works i'll. The parents in purchas-
ing new books are invariably guided
by the wishes of their children who
always desire to be put ahead as far
as possible. The parents also figure
as much as possible to save expense
by purchasing books that will not
need replacing for a long time. For
example a fifth reader is bought in
stead of a fourth. Little ones of ten
Or twelve come Juggling in the large
Biographies when they can hardly
name the continent upon which they
live. The result is that in many of
our schools pupils are laundering
along in the fifth reader when they
are actually compelled to spell out a
large share of the words, thus shutting
off any chance of learning to read
with expression. Often the fifth is
used when the pupil should be in the
second or the third. Colburn's Arith-
metic Chat best of ally is entirely
omitted for the same reason. As a
rule parents are incompetent judges
of the needs of their pupils, as but
few of them ever pretend to be skilled
in educational matters OF ever visit
the schools from one years end to
another; and not two in a hundred
know anything whatever Of the pro-
gress Of their children.
Again, free text books would en-
able the same book to be used by
many where it is now used by few.
II would be passed along from one to
another until worn out. They could
also be passed from one district to
another and all the use possible then
drawn from them. We require a ten
per cent State School tax in place of
the present five per cent. The ex-
pense for common school education
should be made, as far as practicable,
uniform throughout the State. Uuder
the present or old system poor
school in back district often re-
quired for short term doubles the
tax upon the Grand List of what
good school in the large places re-
quire for long term. Such con-
dition of affairs in contrary to the
spirit of our American institutions.
The ball was set rolling two years
ago; let it move along.
