Mr.. Hutchison's information con-
eerning Kavanaugh we have no
doubt is a product Of his own i'm.
agination, created to suit the oc-
casion. How natural such things
sound from that sourcel But we
believe Kavanaugh knows some-
thing about himself. Let him
speak. On the last page OF his
printed speech, which doubtless
many Of our readers have seen,
he says:
"My own personal and private

November 20, 1873. My father

ury more than seven thousand

law"
The above would seem to ex-
plode the "silver spoon" theory.
The son Of q Methodist minister
and Confederate soldier il not
usually born with q silver spoon
in his mouth. The young man
at work on the farm for wages
cannot be said to have a silver
spoon in his mouth. Hutchison
is mistaken; or Kavanaugh
doesn't know his own history.

1t is nearly 10 months since the
present editor took charge of THE
CALIFORNIAN. We came here I'M
acquainted with the great mass of
the papers readers and inexperienc-
ed in the conduct of a country week
ly. We announced something Of our
purposes at that time and realize
that we have not yet entirely reach
ed our ideals. The large amount of
detail work has sept us more close
ly confined to the Office than we had
hoped to be. Owing to our inability
to get around among the subscribers
and have personal interviews with
them regarding the paper, we take
this opportunity to ask some questions
in order that we may have a better
understanding with them and if pos
sible give them better and more salts
factory service than we have been
doing.
We have attempted to give our
readers some Grange Notes. as
regularly as we could secure those
we thought might be of some inter
est. Do you like them and do you
would you suggest they might be i'm

Have you read those and have you

Would you like to have more articles

Are you satisfied with the list of

think we might improve the news

know of some special feature in your
town that would be of interest to the
county as a whole and can you name
someone who could give us a good
story on the same?
We hope that every reader of this
paper will feel that these questions
are asked him and that he or she will
write US reply We expect if you

things we have done or are doing. and

PRESS COMMENT.
Vermont GOvernOrship.

The republican State convention
at Montpelier, Vermont. has resulted
candidate by narrow vote. Fleet
wood made a very good showing but
was defeated. Mead has been run
ming bureaus and keeping agents out
for months at a very large ex-
pense, and hints have been heard as
to spending of considerable sums of
money in illegitimate ways to secure
his nomination.
The State has been for months very
much worked up over the improper
use of money in politics and the can
vass of Mr.. Fleetwood has, it is claim
ed, been conducted within the bounds
of propriety as we'll as the law The
fact that on the first occasion when
public sentiment has been practically
aroused, in many years at least over
the use of money in politics, the
money candidate should have won by
a narrow margin is encouraging.
Two years from now the sentiment
will be- stronger. The desirabiiity of
opening the possibilities of the guber-
material office in Vermont to men of
intelligence. education and public
spirit without regard to their wealth.
will grow on the Vermont public
when they realize that with energy
and activity comparatively poor
man has some chance for the lOnOrS
for Office. Also it will be more diff
lieut. every year TO HnO men OF large
wealth anxious to sacrifice their
honor and standing at home for the
privilege of playing the role of poll
teal and social leader in Montpelier
and the further doubtful privilege of
posing in New York, Washington,
Boston and other centers as the gov
ernor of the state which is recog-
niZed everywhere as being in a ~oSi-
ton of an English pocket borough be-
fore the reform bill.
One clean cut defeat of a barrel
candidate for governor in Vermont
would do a great deal to raise the
social as we'll as the moral standing
of the governorship of Vermont, and
that a new order of things is possible
in the state is made plain by the
progress the agitation for reform has
made in that state and it's prospect
for ultimate SucceSS.-[ The PlattS-

Where Delegates Fail.

It is reported that on the morning
of the last state republican convention
that delegates from several towns went
to Dr. Mead's headquarters and Of
fered to vote for him if he would pay
their expenses to the convention, but
that he refused to accept their terms.
If this is true it reveals a terrible
weakness in our present system of
making party nominations. It was
represented that these delegates had
not been pledged by their town caucus
and they were ready to make as good
a trade for their votes as possible.
If true, this fact should keep every
town from sending unpledged dele
gates to another convention so long
as the present system is continued.
The unpledged delegations this year
were not a powerful element in the
convention and there is no evidence
that they accomplished anything for
good politics. Vermont should stop
choosing delegates who dc not repre-
sent the declared sentiment of their
town in the party caucus.
This condition should awaken the
people to the necessity of a change
in the system of selecting party can
didates. Sending delegates to a state
convention to cast their vote Wher-
ever their personal interests may di-
rect them is robbing the people of any
opportunity of declaring their senti-
m mt on state officials. A system thai
will open the polls to both parties
on the same day with a record Of who
has voted to prevent anyone from vOt-
ing more than once and the time of
keeping the ballot box open fixed by
law would seem to give the people
a much fairer chance than present
methods. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that the plank in the republican plat
form, calling for a more efficient sys-
TEN of choosing party candidates, will
be redeemed at the coming session of
the legislature.

II measured in terms of the output of
our cheese factories and creameries,
are no, better than the quality of the
butter and cheese that the farmers
made before the days of the creamery,
or would be now if the farmer was to
return to home manufacture
Lest this expression be misunder-
stood, let me repeat that our butter
and cheese, because of centra lized ex-
pert manufacture, are of fine quality;
that our farm operations, judged by
the employment of the same expert
care and skill used in the manufact-
ur1ng plant, are no better than was
the quality of the butter and cheese
when made upon the farm; further
more, that a skilled supervisor over
farm management would bring to
the owner the same results and even
greater profits than he got when he
carried his milk to the creamery
Initiate the Syndicates.
A skilled man cannot be employed
upon every farm. The business will
not warrant the expense. A manufact-
uring plant does not undertake to pay
an expensive foreman to supervise
two or three workmen. The land
owner who employs a high priced
man, no matter how valuable he may
profits are lost in the labor bill We
could not afford to pay $50 to SIS, or
perhaps 500, month for a cheese
maker in a thirty-cow dairy, but we
can proftably employ him for four
hundred COWS. The same dairyman
who employs this skilled maker could
pay another. who should go from
farm to farm instructing in farm
management for the same salary and
with even greater profits. Four
hundred cows would have 20 owners
a supervisor could be secured at
$500, or $40 for each man-on another
basis 81 COW, or 13 13 cents a day
for each working day.
