Stand by Johnston.

The opponents of the Republican can
didate for State Printer, A. j. John
ston, are telling the people that the
claim that the latter is the special
friend of the State schoolbook system
is merely an effort on his part to win
popular favor, and that his election Oh
defeat will have no effect one way OF
the other upon that system. This Is
not true. Every body at all familiar
with the facts knows that Mr.. John
Ston has been persistently resisting the
attacks Of the schoolbook trust ever
since he became State Printer, and ev-
erybody knows that it has been chiefly
through the alertness and watchfulness
of this faithful official that the school
a man friendly to their schemes at the
head Of the State printing department,
the ring andlits allies would have little
difficulty in botching up the State books
and making their publication SO eX-
pensive that the people would consent
to a. discontinuance of the system. 1t
is a knowledge of this situation of af-
fairs that impels the California School
book League, the members of which
have a full understanding Of the dan
gers now confronting the system, to
urge the reelection of Mr.. Johnston,
as a matter Of protection against the
Vaccinations of the private schoolbook
monopoly.-Labor Advocate, San Fran

NEW STYLE OF BRIDGE.
Some of the New Structures on the
Central Pacific.

The Southern Pacific Company is
rapidly improving the road bed of the
Central Pacific beyond the mountains.
The track crosses the Truckee River
six times in seventy miles, and the
old wooden bridges have all been re-
placed by fine steel structures, with
long, clear spans and immense gran
lite abutments and piers.
On the Humboldt River the condi-
tions are different and a different style
OF bridge is used. There is no danger
there from floating trees or running ice
in flood time, so a cheap but solid
trestle is used. Oregon pine piles are
driven deep in the ground after being
creosoted and pitched On the top a
solid platform is built of 12x12 timbers,
and a layer of gravel eight inches
thick lies on that. The track can thus
be raised or lowered if a bent gives a
little, the danger from fire is reduced
to a minimum and big money is saved.
The first of the new bridges in Nevada
has just been put in by Foreman Nc
Gregor, and his crew and he has now
gone to Cluro to change a light non
bridge for a similar one

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN.
The British Statesman Now Paying
a Visit to America.

A royal visitor to America at this
time is the Right Hon. Joseph Cham
berlain, leader of the Liberal-Unionist
party of England in the House of Com
mons. His utterances have been very
marked in favor of an alliance between
England and America, and it is said his
visit at this time is partially with a
view to encouraging such an alliance.

Ignorance Of Nature,

In these days Of nature-study for
children, when buds and flowers, chrys-
Aids and caterpillars are kept in
schoolrooms; when the dates of the
coming of the birds and the blooming
Of wild flowers are noted on the black
board, and when such outdoor classics
as the writings of John Burroughs and
Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller are used for
supplementary reading in schools, it is
entertaining indeed to turn back to the
instruction in natural history common
ly accorded to our parents and grand
parents in their schooldays. 1t was
often striking, but it was not always
accurate.
One lady of middle age remembers
well being taught that among the wild
beasts inhabiting Africa the most ter
rible was a great ape, whose habit it
was to hide in trees, and when an un-
happy native passed below to let down
a long and sinewy hind leg, seize him
around the throat with the handlike
foot thereon, strangle him, and pull him
up into the branches to be devoured.
Another lady, somewhat older, re-
members with horror a poem which
she had to learn and recite, of which

great excitement.
The guard aggregates, upwards Of
1000, and for the greater. part is made
up of wealthy young men. Several Of
the officers purchased, horses and en-
gagged colored ervants, and were en-
tering upon the war with great eclat,

been purchased, will be spoiled,

mixed match, the first fall to be Cornish
style. the second catch as-catch-can and the
third fall Graeco-Roman STYLE This arrange
ment it is believed. will better equalize mat
tiers between the two men.
The Cornish style Is Dryers forte and his
local admirers are figuring on him winning
the first fall. although it is fully admitted
that Mcleod will make the bout interesting.
In the second bout the fall will probably go
to Mcleod as this style will give him ample
opportunity to utilize mis- great strength and
full knowledge of wrestling tactics. Local
pride in Dwyer. however leads some of his
champions. who base their opinion upon the
fact that Mcleod only threw him once in an
hour at this style week ago to assert that
the local man has a good chance to beat the
ChicaSoan in this bout.
The Graeco-Rcman bout, it is believed will
prove of unusual interest, as. the knowing
ones say that neither man viii have a de-
cided advantage. Under the rules, Graeco-
Roman style is practically the same as catch
as-catch-can wrestling, except that leg holds
are barred, meaning that to obtain fall
man must throw his opponent with some form
or body hold. not lower than the waist.
The match will take place at Conover hall
and is for the gate receipts and a side bet

The exemption Of bonds, debentures
