On motion of Miss Ames, the matter
was deferred and referred to State Su-
perintendent Black, with a request TO
report on it tomorrow. The matter
was finally referred back to the com
mttee of two years ago.
Superintendent Smith said he wished
to offer an amendment to Section 1888
of the school law, that districts where
there are less than ten census school
children shall have no apportionment
except the surplus money divided on
the basis of average daily attendance.
superintendent Messer moved to
amend by striking out the words ''ten
and" giving less than twenty children
an apportionment of 800.
Several superintendent gave their
experience of the shifts resorted to in
weak districts, in order to avoid the
districts lapsing. superintendent Rus
sell said the present system of taking
the school census is a premium on
fraud He moved that the section be
referred to a committee of five.
The motion prevailed, and the Chair
appointed superintendent Smith of
Placer, Russell, Messer, Hyatt and
Smith of Siskiyou as the committee.
The convention then adjourned till
10 a. m to-day

WE NEED HAWAII NOW.

A well-known and intelligent citizen
of Sacramento. accompanied by a ply
stefan who was for over twenty years
resident of Sacramento, visited the Ha-
waiian Islands recently, and spent sew
eral weeks there. One Of them went N
decided anti-annexat onist. The othe
favored annexation, but was open to
conviction. Both have now returned,
and warmly declare that they are for
annexation.
This judgment is resolved upon be
cause Of what they saw and heard
among the people of all classes in Ha-
wall. They say that the people of the
islands are in the main for annexation;
that they know sooner or later their
island possessions will be swallowed up
by some great nation, and they infinite
~ prefer that it shall be the United
States of America. Their present form
/ of government protects them, and they
are reasonably prosperous under it, but
it could not protect them from strong
exterior assault It must therefore hav =
close relationship with some greater
State, and the closer the better. They
therefore prefer to be added to the
American Republic, under which they
would enjoy the liberties which they
have been educated to understand and
appreciate.
This is the testimony of two observ-
ing, thoughtful men, one a physician ac-
customed to study human nature the
other a successful merchant accustomed
to weighing all matters calmly and in
something of the judicial spirit just
at this time the value of Hawaii to the
/ United States as a war station and re-
lief and supply base is seen by even the
bitterest opponents of annexation. Word
comes that several Of these have broken
down before the evid nc IS war affords
| of the value Of mid-Pacific point Who'll
| ly our own, and that ii consequence
there is reasonable expectation that the
/ measure approving the treaty of annex
alton may now be taken up and receive
the necessary legislative sanction. This
/ is as it should be. The time for argu-
/ ment has passed. Every reason for and
against annexation has been presented,
and now, with the force of the argument
OF war confronting us, there should be
no more hesitation about annexing the
| islands.

FEAR OF COAST ASSAULT.

There is too much fear entertained of
Spanish assault upon Pacific Coast
commerce. Coal has taken an upward
shoot because of this fear we are told
1t is more likely that it is because the
Government has recently been such a
large buyer. Spain has no ships on
our coast yet. She can put none on the
coast within a month unless she aban-
dons the defense of the Philippines.
which is unthinkable If she had ships
on our coast she has not one coaling
station, and not a port into which she
could take prizes. True she might de-
stroy them as taken, but that is not
what an enemy usually does with val
liable property that means prize money
for officers and crew when converted
into cash. So, too, it is true that the
capture of a collier would be right in
hand to any warship of Spain because
she could fill her own bunkers and
then scuttle the ship. But there are
no ships Of Spain on the coast. No let
tiers of marque have been granted, and
coast commerce is as yet, as it is likely
to be for some time, in no sort of dan
ger. Without coal war fleet is help
less. To chance a fleet 1000 miles
from a base, upon the possible cap
ture of a collier, not even the Spanish
viii be likely to do. They are by no
means fools.
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1898-04-27

The Government Of the United States
has done well in giving Spanish ships
in United States waters a month or
more for loading and departing and in
exempting from capture ships at sea
if loaded before May Dist in the Unit
ed States. Also, that Spanish ships
bound for the United States which
sailed prior to the 21st of April shall
be exempt from capture. Of course
this does not mean that goods con-
traband Of war can go free during the
period indicated. It is simply a pro-
vision of humanity and decency giving
Captains fair time in which to com
plete loading and making trips home
who are caught without knowledge OF
the condition Of war, and who have
not been neglectful of common pru-
dence. This action by the Government
will place US in an excellent light be-
fore the nations of the world.

Beranger admits that Havana harbor
was planted with electric and auto
matte torpedOes. Sixth, a Spanish semi
official paper rebukes him for maxi
ing the admission. Seventh, there IS
no practical distinction between an
electric torpedo and a submarine mine.
Finally, when the defendant contradicts
himself his statement may be taken
more strongly against him.

Here is sample of how Spain sucks
dry her colonies. Last year Puerto Rico
was taxed by the home Government 10
the tune of S4,375,000, but the expendi-
lures by Spain among the islanders
were less than S650,000. Is it any won
der that colonists rebel under such con-
ditions? True, Spain expended much
money in maintaining a navy and an
army, part of which kept Puerto Rico
under COW. But the people prefer peace
to war, and would willingly see the ships
and soldiers depart, if Spain would lay
out the taxes collected, or the larger part
of them, in needed improvements in the
island, and for the advancement of gen
eral island interests. Either that, they
say, or reduction of the tax-rate level
with the cost of maintaining the Colo
NAL Government.

The recommendation to change Sec
ton 1770 SO that County Boards Of I'd
ucation should hold only annual meet
ings for examinations for teachers GER
tificates, instead of semi-annual ones,
as at present, started another discus
sion.
superintendent Howard of this coun-
ty moved to amend by making the
meeting semi-annual
Another member said that he hoped
the day would soon come when there
would be no more examinations by
county boards, and that normal school
and university graduates would fill the
teachers position.
superintendent Linscott favored the
annual examination and the normal
school teachers.
superintendent Harrell of Kern said
that while the members were praying
for the time when there would be no
teachers except normal school gradu-
ates, it might be well to pray the Lord
to send US some thoroughly trained
normal teachers.
