FREE SCHOOL BOOKS.

THE SENTINEL believes in educa-
ton and believes also in free school
books. The cost of books in the
schools of Boston has been as low as
70 cents year and furnishing books
free in all places where it has been
tried has been followed by an in
creased attendance and by more
efficient schools. That is the desira-
BILE thing-an increase of education
without proportionately increased
expense.
School book rings, composed of
book publishers, have always fought
the free school book proposition, but
THE SENTINEL would go to the full
length of the proposition and have
the State prepare and print all text
books used in the common schools.
This is already done in one State
where by the tricks of the school
book publishers, parents have had
to pay extra large sums for their
children's books. Que county, for
instance, would adopt one set OF
readers, and the next county anoth-
er. If family removed from one
county to the other the books they
had already bought were useless.
They had to buy new text books at
considerable expense. The bribery
of the book men to influence school
| boards became matters of scandal
| and at last the State took the whole
business in charge, had it's best
scholars prepare good books, and
! they were printed in the State print
ing office.
People sometimes forget to consid
er that education is q business
proposition. In educated communi-
ties property is always more valuable
and crime more rare. There is more
comfort, better government, less tax
alton. Our schools are not cbarita-
| BILE institutions. They are, in fact, the
most necessary and vital mediums OF
good government. Stand by them.
Protect them. Cherish them. Don't
let anybody injure them in any way.
In them lies the future of this town
and this nation.

SOME TIMES q word isinvented that
acquires considerable vitality. One
of there is "Boniface,' a name given
to the sleek, jolly landlord in a
comedy by Farqubar; whence inn
keepers are sometimes called boni-

iy formed, appear to get little cur
rency, e. G, "boniform, meaning
responsive to moral excellence or
'bonify" to make good.

On the action of the United States
Senate. Bradstreet's Baltimore re-
ports Is as follows: Trade continues
quiet, without noticeable feature,
and statesmen report a decrease ia
number and volume of sales and q
marked disposition to buy only for
immediate wants. A number oil
buyers are expected to be in the
market next month, but there seems
to be a continued disposition to hold
off until the tariff question is dis.
posed of, and until then the prospects
are regarded more or less uncertain.
The retail trade has improved to
some extent.

UsURY has been condemned from
Biblical times to the present, but the
different States look upon the mat
ter quite differently. Forfeiture OF
both principle and interest is, to our
mind, too severe a penalty. That is
the case in Arkansas and Oregon,
but in most States it is the forfeiture
OF the excess of interest. In North
Carolina the penalty is the forfeiture
of twice the interest. Arizona, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Flor
ida, Maine, Massachusetts, and some
other States attach no penalty
whatever. Freedom of contract is
their rule.

upper with ladies and their escorts, as the
game had excited great interest. Cham
pion Pat L. Donnelly was the referee and
scorer.
The play was splendid, and for the first
two games Nealon and Bonnet did great
work, winning both games easily. Jones,
however, started in and won the third and
fourth games. The fifth game aroused
the greatest excitement. Jones was

MUSIC FOR ALL.
Continued Success of the
Symphony Concerts.
An Admirable Programme That Was
Repeated From Last Friday
by Request.

The third series of symphony concerts
opened yesterday evening at the Audi
forum with the repetition of one of the
best programmes that had been given
since the Auditorium was inaugurated by
Scheel. and that is saying great deal, fer
the standard has always been not only
high. but in addition very we'll chosen.
II speaks we'll for the love of music in
San Francisco that this excellent organi.
zation is able to begin a third series of
concerts without any intermission. On
the other hand all cultured musicians aud
dilettanti are under debt of gratitude to
Fritz Scheel. San Francisco is one of the
few towns of its size in the civilized world
that has no reguIa season of grand opera.
Without Sches it would probably have
had no symphony this winter. New York.
is ENJOYING some of the greatest lyric and
concert artists before the public. O'her
cities in the East will taste more or less
of the crumbs that fall from New York's
table, but with one exception San Fran
cisco is to have none of these things.
The one exception is Cesar Thomson,
the great Belgian violinist, whom Scheel
mas engaged. The conductor at the Au-
ditorium never seems to tire of doing all
be can to advance the interests of music
in San Francisco, and 10 return for this
his present great popularity is only his
due.
If possible the programme was better
performed last night Than it was on FRI
day evening. The overture to MoZart's
"Magic Flute" was deliclouslv PLAY ed, and
The rendering of Beethoven's symphony
No. 2 was one of the best pieces of work
the orchestra has done yet. The shading
was especially refined aud beautiful.
In the Beethoven concerto. in c minor,
S. G. Fleishman acquitted himself just as
we'll as on the previous occasion, and his
efforts were admirably seconded by the
orchestra.
The ether numbers were the effective
Saint-Saens' work. "The Youth of Her
cules," setting forth the fable of how
Hercules. at the entrance of life. saw
before him two open roads-the road to
pleasure aud the road to virtue-and how
he finally chose the narrow way. and
thereby learned the lesson of immortality.
Delibes' "Coppelia" ballet suite concluded
a very excellent concert.
Next Wednesday there will be- new
departure at the Auditorium in the shape
of having vocalist. Miss Mabel Love, a
local singer. will appear.
