PoL1TIcAL.-Last Sunday we spent in
Trinity Center, and, although not on a
pollical mission, naturally talked politics
to nearly all whom we met. Republi
their Party nominations and will vote
the State Ticket straight, without excep-
ton. Democrats are not satisfied with
the State nom inees of their party, the
Governor and one or two others being
particularly Objectionable. More than
ene Democrat informed us that they
would not support Dr.. Glenn, and while
some will not vote for Perkins others will
do so. As to the local candidates we
talked little, we'll knowing that Trinity
County voters are not governed entirely
by politics in their choice for County Of
flccrs, but usually favor those whom they
deem to be the best men for the places.
AS the Center IS largely Republican it is
probable the candidates on that ticket
will each receive handsome majority
there. At Minersville, we founed the
same state of opinion on the State Ticket.
Politically this precinct is decidedly Dem
ocratic and WILL doubtless favor the nom
inees of that party. Cinnabar and Cof
fee Creek are said to be about equally d.,
vided politically. Everywhere lively
interest is being taken in all that pertains
to the election, and larger vote is pre-
dcted this time than for several years
past.

GRAND CELEBRATIoN. From all we
could gather at Trinity Center last week,
we judge the Fourth Of July celebration
at that place was one of the grandest af-
fairs of that character which has ever
taken place in Northern California. The
extensive programme was carried out ms
advertised and gave the greatest satsfac-

and the many who visited them from
other sections. When the people there

How TO SuccEEDs--Long and close
observation hss satisfied us that the real
obstacle ia the way Of finding employ
meat does not he in the fact that there
is not plenty OF work 10 dO-NOrk which
might be done to profl-but in the
imposslbIIily Of getting work done well.
And the reason work isnot well done is
to be found chiefly in the false notions
OF labor which prevail, and the aniago-
nistic feelings which have been sedu-
lously cultivated between employers and
the employed.


A man who regards work as hard
ship, an oppression-wbO looks upon
the time given to his employer as a
spt cies OF limited slavery. can never do
anything well. He must take an In
terest in his work if be would excel.


The true rule for young man IA tn
make himself as useful as possible 90
his employer. He should never feel
satisfied with himself as long as any
thing in bis power 10 doto promote his
employers interest is leIt undone.


In this way his labor Is rendered pro-
fitable. Promotion comes unsOught
and before Il is expected. Here lies
the secret Of success.-.E Y. Ledger.

Many people who have public
school teachers among their acquain-
tance are firmly OF the opinion that
the schoolroom has a headache sys-
tenn all its own, and their impress
sion would be strengthened If they
were TO interview boys and girls.
There is nothing strange about the
complaint; the only wonder is that
it is not continuous and that any
body escapes it. With systems of
heating and ventilation that are al
most uniformly defective, and worse
yet, under the control of janitors
who have no knowledge whatever
of these departments OF their busi-
ness, and who are as apt as any
other men to neglect or dispise what
ever they do not understand, many
OF our schoOlrooms are boxes al
most hermetically sealed, into which
hot air is being driven and com.
pressed. The heat is frequently in

other physical emanations o: the
children poiute the air to a degree
extremely dangerous to health. so

o'clock entered the room in fair

with lisrless step, aching head and

teachers nature protest against
breathing in poison and sweltering
in it, up goes a window, and straight
way all the children in its immedi-
ate vicinity are chilled and tempo
rarily relieved from one danger only

The idea is not new that a famil


physician should be employed &,

should be compensated for this ser
vice rather than for attendance il
sickness. Few diseases attack hu


man beings which do not give
warning by premOnitory symptoms
which, If needed, and promptly
treated, would save the victim from
an acute attack. There is scarcely
anything which people, especially
busy people, and whose lives are
therefore, of value TO their families
and society, are so apt TO neglect as
the premonitory symptoms Of break
ing down i'm health. A slight cold
that results in a hacking cough is
neglected until il develops the seeds
Of consumption. The malarial in
fiuences which are so widespread
are allowed to fasten themselves
permanently upon the system, in
stead of being vigorously dealt with
in the beginning, and the result is
months Of i'll health and probably
an undermining of the whole phys
ical constitution. People overwork
themselves and pay no heed to the
protest OF bodily exhaustion which
warns them that nature will take
revenge for this imposition upon
her. Women especially become the
victims of nervous diseases, which
render their own lives and the lives
of those around them miserable, all
from neglect. 1t would, therefore,
seem reasonable that a change in the
method Of society in the employ
ment Of physicians (Which should
employ them at a stated salary TO
watch over the bodily health and
give needed hygienic instructions
10 families) would be a very sensi-
bic one; and that the physician
whose patrons were kept in the
best health should be the most pop
ular and the best remunerated.


But these are days when people
must econOmize, and when a favor
lite method for securing and prac-
ticing economy is combination for
the purpose of procuring any de-
sired service at the lowest possible
rate. The latest illustration of this
tendency in the American mind and
methods is the formation in some of
our most progressive Eastern cities
of health societies. These are con-
dncted on the principle that pre-
yention is better than cure. The
families composing the society paw
SO much a year into the treasury OF
the society, and elect a physician. 10
whom they pay, from the fund thus
created, good salary. He makes
the care of the health of these fami-
lies his first concern, visiting them
statedly, and observing for himself
what is the state of their health.
He also gives 10 them occasional
lectures on hygiene and dietetics.
Members of the societies are not
tempted to neglect slight indispo>i-
tons for fear of incurring heavy
doctor bills, bu: repair TO the physi-
clan for advice upon the first
symptoms of illness. There is no
temptation to the physician TO
"cherish" a case of sickness, for
his reputation depends on his be-
ing able 10 keep his society in
good health, and especially to pre-
vent severe attacks Of disease. Sem
sible people would much rather paw
for health than for sickness. and so
the feeling is excellent all around.

NEW YORK, July 18-There are some facts
in connection with the speech OF Bishop Gill
bert Haven at Woodstock, ON the fourth Of
July, which are not generally known. Few
Of the people who attended the celebration
heard the speech, and they knew nothing Of
the "Grant BOOM which it contained until
they read the morning papers. As g matter
of fact the speech was not delivered at the
celebration In the park. Before the time ap-
pointed for the bishop to entertain the public
great storm broke out and all were COM
PEELED to seek shelter. When the storm
ceased the general public departed for their
homes.


Bishop Havens's speech had been prepared
and deposited in proof slips In newspaper
offices throughout the country, hence it was
necessary that the speech should be spoken.
Consequently the bishop appeared before
about 800 people in the evening in the little
village church and read biz address, IF Mas

be should have morning assignment, and
had intended to leave Boston In the evening,
but of course 1t would not do to depart with

We are ashamed and humiliated to have to record the fact-the shameful and outrageous tact-thst oD last Saturday the proposition was voted down to have a public free school here this coming year.

 It is some consolation to us, how ever, to know that the vote cast showed that there is gain this year in the number of voters who are ID favor of public schools. Last year the vote stood 69 against and 3I for school tax. This year last Satur. day) it stood 69 against and 5s for school tax { , mills).

 The old fogy opponents to the ed ucation ot the masses; those who are opposed to the poor mans child being educated and enlightened {; those who would keep the poor mans child ignorant and benighted in or der that they may make "hewers of wood and drawers of water" out of him; those who want to keep up a kind Of codfish aristocracy and who think their children too good to go to school with poor mans child, did not gain q vote this year over last, although they worked hard and earnestly. Those who want to see our State and community prosper, and who look to the sustenance of good free schools as the best means Of securing prosperity, have this year increased their strength nearly one hundred per cent, and had the friends of free schools all turned out VIC would have had q majority of 20 or % and would have been spared the burning shame of having the fin ger of scorH pointed at us as Q town opposed to popular education.

given up all hope of another crop. Gray
hair it turns back to its original color,
