UNDERSTANDS THE CASE.

The San Jose NetUs Reasons WiSely Re
9Grdin1 the Contention.
Under the caption of "Our Part of the
Load" the San Jose News gives the fol-
lowing piece of good advice that is worth
reading:
If it is possible to bring the Republican
National Convention to this coast the work
that is being done, and that is proposed to be
done, by the people of San Francisco, will ac-
complish that result. They recognize the fact
that machinery will not run without lubrica-
ton; that work of the character they have in
hand cannot be performed without money and
plenty of it. There should be a large working
capital behind the effort-large enough to
meet every anticipated expense, and q liberal
surplus to meet extraordinary conditions.
From present appearances this will be done.
The city seems to be properly aroused TO
full realization of the Importance of the occa-
sion, and there is every reason to hope that
their united effort will be successful.
Santa Clara County has also an interest in
this matter fully as important as San Fran
cisco. We win, OF course, not have the crowd
here that there will be there, and the transient
But for permanent benefit this county stands
in position to receive its full share. The low
rates that viii be offered by the railroad CON-
panies viii induce thousands to come to Cali
fornia who will never make this trip under
ordinary circumstances.
Above all things they will want to see the
orchards and vineyards on which our fame
rests in these latter days. San Jose is in a
position to catch the overflow. We are near
San Francisco and the means of communica-
tion are ample, quick and convenient With q
fairly energetic effort on our part we can in
duce nearly every one who comes to attend the
convention to pay US visit.
Our people are, no doubt, sufficiently wide
awake to their direct interest in having the
convention meet in San Francisco and are
willing to do what they can to secure the re-
suit. Many valuable enterprises have failed
through the people depending on somebody
else to do the work. There is a disposition
already apparent in this community to permit
San Francisco TO fight out the battle single
handed.
These people argue that the bay city will do
the work alone if she is compelled to. But
this is selfish feeling and one that has lost US
a good many opportunities in the past. 1t is
TO be hoped that it will not control the present
situation. There ought to be some expression
by the people of Santa Clara County. To get
this expression there should be mass-meeting
of citizens to talk tie matter over, to deter
mine how much interest we have in the event
and to ascertain what would be the fair thing
for US to do. Everything that will pay should
be taken up.

San Franciscos. He sulked by himself un-
til the sixth inning. tanning out with great
precision every time he was at the bat. In
the sixth he woke up. though, and when
the greater part of the Oakland nine were
watching Mullane at first base trying to
catch fox terrier that was getting in the
way, Straus reached cut for one of Com
iskey's easy balls and sent it flying to the
Mlsslon-street fence in the right field. Be-
fore the Oaklanders knew where they were
Hulen and Werrick, who were lingering
on bases, scored and Straus was sitting con-
tentedly on the bag at third base. After
that he looked less homesick.

The new pastor of the First Christian
Church on Twelfth street, Rev. Robert NJ
Campbell, who lately arrived from Ken
lucky, is not only a true son, or rather
grandson, of that church, but can trace
direct descent in that Scottish clan Camp

bell, was the founder of the Christian, or
as it is often called, the tCampbellite"
church.
The pastor of the Twelfth-street church

NO SUCCESSOR ELECTED,

cation Still Remains
Vacant.
DR.. George Drucker Was Nominated,
but No One Would Champion
His Cause.

There is prospect of lively fight in the
Board of Education over the election of a
successor to Director Charles B. Stone,
who resigned to accept the position of
deputy under Superintendent of Schools
Babcock.
The board met as a committee of the
whole previous to the regular meeting and
discussed the matter thoroughly A con-
clusion was apparently reached When,
however, Superintendent Babcock, at the
proper time, nominated DR.. George
Drucker, asking at the same time that his
action be confirmed, there was complete
silence, and no one arose to second the
nomination.
Mr.. Babcock intimated that while it had
not been decided to name Mr. Stones sue
cessor at this meeting, there were three
candidates and some of the Directors
wished to be relieved of the opportunities
with which they were beset. He init
mated that DR.. Drucker's election to the
place had all but been decided upon. Still
no one moved to put the matter to vote.
and on motion 1t was put over to new bust
ness.
Then there were hurried consultations
IN the Secretary's room, the sergeant-at-
arms being called into requisition on a
number of occasions to bring absent mem
bers IN to answer to their names when a
vote was called for. Apparently the talk
came to nothing, for when new business
was reached no effort was made to bring
the matter up.

The point was made that motion to
adjourn is not debatable and the chair
sustained the objection. When the vote
on adjournment was taken one or two
feeble noes were heard, but the motion
was evidently carried, and was so declared
by the chair.
Some of the Directors looked blank and
all declared that they knew no reason why
the appointment bad not been made.
"Some one fell down." said one Dire ctor,
sotto voce, and the matter rested there.
Director Stone presented his resignation,

most of them were costly. They consisted

A close adherence to the teachings of the
