GREENBACKS
or Government Money.

At close of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
elf that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come indurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history Of civilized nations Of
the world. The brain and wealth Of
all countries will go to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT: MUST BE
DESTROYED OR IT WILL DE-
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON
THIS GLOBE"
The famous Hazard circular, to
capitalists in New York, and the Buell.
Bank circular to United States Bank
ers, both emanating from London, and
the fabulous corruption fund raised in
England and Germany, estimated at
ST, 500, 900, were the agents that Sc
cured the closing Of our minis against
silver.
The "walk into my parlor" policy
Of England, during and since the
Spanish War, is the latest evidence
Of English Diplomacy in shaping the
destiny of the United States Govern
ment.
Notwithstanding the famine price
Of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabu-
lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent.
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.
For thorough understanding of
the money question, or silver issue,
the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly
given evidence of its ability to teach,
explain and produce all facts and
ruth. 1t is paper that ought and
can be read by all classes with pleas
ure and profit.

4 PLETHORA OF NORMAL SCHOOLS

N his address before the California Teachers As 1 sociation Samuel T. Black, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, expressed the opinion that California has not sufficient number of normal schools. At the present time 1t maintains three Of these institutions, and another will be opened within year. MT. Black says that California, with her 10000 square miles of area should be thickly dotted with normal schools. He does not say anything about the expense of maintaining them but he thinks if such schools were smaller and more numerous they would do deal more good than the linn tied number now in existence are doing.
 As we understand it normal schools are designed for training teachers. The general education of teachers is obtained in the grammar and high schools. It is the normal institution which puts the
 finishing touches upon the individual who is sent out to instruct the young idea how to shoot Therefore normal schools are no part of the general system of education.
 L. California has a population of about I,5ooooo, fifth of whom are children Unless everybody is going to go to school and the entire State is going to be devoted to education it would seem that the four normal schools in existence and the way ought to turn out sufficient supply of teachers to satisfy the exacting It is said that statistics, if compiled would show that in California at least one out of every three young graduated from the normal schools never teaches at all. They either fail to get into the School Departments Of the State or they get married | Of course education is good thing, but it can 1 hardly be maintained that the taxpayers should pay for educating the wives of the State Nor 1t be successfully established that they ought to pay for educating any more teachers than necessary to provide the schools with instructors.
 The truth of the matter is, probably that Super intendent Black, like most men engaged in an ob- sorbing occupation, has been carried away by his business. He undoubtedly thinks that normal schools are the salvation of the country, and that without them we would speedily relapse into state of dense ignorance. As matter of fact, however, teachers are born, not made. Normal schools never can make pedagogues out of some people. Some of the best instructors known saw the in- side of normal school
 No one desires to abate the educational system in any respect but the taxpayers ought to have some thing to say about the creation of normal schools We do not want normal school in every county One well equipped institution would undoubtedly supply a sufficient number of teachers. Four ought to be enough for the next fifty years

REASON FOR GRATITUDE.

HE public doubtless feels duly grateful for the
 enterprise of yellow journalism in publishing
 picture of the tooth brush and the hair brush for which condemned murderer Is not much longer to have need There has been in the community a pantng unrest for sight of these articles them selves for human ambition has limits To have the privilege of seeing the actual brushes would be too much to hope, and in the absence of this possibility what So soothing their artistic portrayal? After all the brushes have much the aspect of other brushes, but think of the association The ordinary brush, smoothing the locks of the uncondemned or inparting to his ncisors pleasing luster, has no power to enthrall. And only for the thoughtful and painstaking idiocy ofyeow journalism this genera ton would have passed away not knowing what sort of brushes the prisoner used! Nay, not even know ing him to be addicted to any, but, mised and un- enlightened, borne to its several graves an idea that he employed his hair mostly and his teeth to Qnash

MR. FLICKER EXPLAINS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27. 1897.
 To the Editor of The Call-Sir: Referring to an editorial article which recently appeared in The Call re- lating to the publication called "Califor- nia. the Land of Promise.'' and referring to the article on Transportation" found therein. permit me to say that the mem- bers of the board are conscious of the omission of the names of many railroad companies from that article. The San Joaquin Valley road, the Atchison, To- peka and Santa F'e, the San Francisco and North Pacific. the North Pacific Coast and various small branch lines in the State are not mentioned, and the only mention made of the Southern Pa citic Company is incidental.
 The point taken by The Call Is in a sense just, and the members of the board will accept it in the spirit in which 1t was written. It is due in exact justice to the board and its work, however. to say that the editor of the book, in plan- ming an article on transportation, sought simply to present the relation of the ocean to the great valleys of California MT. Curtis, the able author of the ar ticle, was asked to write it. and he him.

THE PASADENA FETE.

ASADENA by holding annual festival of ] roses in the open air on January I, does much
 to make known to the shiverng East the win charms and attractions of California In some spects, therefore, the fete is matter of more than ordinary interest to the entire commonwealth. It Is a Californian glory n which all Californians have a right to share.
 The festival is the more appropriate this year be- 1t follows so closely after the stories of the frost in that section of the State It will carry the East full assurances that Southern California has not been blighted by the cold wave, that her roses are still in bloom and her people in a mood to make merry and rejoice among the brilliant blossoms that adorn their gardens.
 From the preliminary reports that come to us it appears evident that Pasadena understands the value of making exceptionally fine display this year. The parade and tournament today promise to be the largest and most attractive made a similar occasion. It will be something more than the perunctory observance of customary holiday, and unless the weather by extraordinary freak proves wholly unpropitious, the celebration will be most suspicious opening of the season of floral festivals throughout the State.
 It is fortunate that at least one city in the com rnonwealth celebrates New Years day in this way. 1t serves to emphasize the difference between life in California and that in any other portion of the Union. New Years observances in the East are not widely dssimilar from those which are common in England and France. The customs of celebration there have been brought from the Old World. It is not so in this land of winter sunshine and January roses. We have climate unique in the Northern Hemisphere and it is fitting that our pleasures as well as our abors should be adapted to the advan- tages gives for open air etes all of the year.
