DEMOCRATIC rflKOI'HEMES.
The dissatisfaction which is now
agitating the Republican party in some
sections of the union, has prompted
many Democratic papers and politi
cians, to predict the early dissolution of
that party. Such predictions are, of
course, the expression of tbo wishes of
those who make tbem. The doom of
tho Republican party has been so often
sealed by these same phrophets that it
has oorae to be quite a matter of course
for th n to rise up aud seal its doom
me iiionieut party harmony becomes
disturbed. ThoT have sat apart, and
watched the progress of the Republi
ean party, and as soon as it had, in spite
of their opposition, succeeded in ac
complishing some great purpose they
havo rose up and proceeded to seal its
doom. According to their spay, of
thinkingjTHHBTthen outlived
its usefulness and must certainly cease
to exist. But the people have pre
ferred to commit the destinies of the
country, to the hands of that party
which has Ehown its ability to meet
and cope with the living issues of the
day. They have looked upon a pur
pose accomplished, as the best evidence
of the ability of the party to accom
plish others, rather than as a reason
for its ending its existence. Just now,
there is an unusual number of these
pbrophets, all with eager eyes intently
fixed on Pennsylvania, and each trying
to out do the others as ho solemnly
shakes his head and smiles softly to
himself while He hands in his list of the
terrible things that are soon to befall
the Republican party. But these
phrophets are permitting their desires
to outrun their judgment. They are
blindly following in the lead of their
phrophetic souls, and arc being led into
the depths and darkness of the wilder
ness. If they would but pause, and
calmly consider tho reason of this dis
sention and the causes that underlie it,
they would see that dissention in this
case is only another no mo for progress
ion. In a great political party like
the Republican, abuses and corruption
will exist as long as humanity remains
as it is, and no one expects that it will
be otherwise. But so- long as a politi
cal party possesses within itself the
power to abolish abuses and crubh out
corruption wheu.they ore discovered, uq
matter how powerful they may become,
just that long is it entitled to the con
fidence of the people. This the Re
publican party is doing in Pennsylva
nia. It is not only lifting itself out of
present political difficulties but it is
raising itself into a purer atmosphere,
and betting for itself a higher stand
ard for tho future. This is progression.
Cameron will be defeated. The Dem
ocrats will, in all probability be suc
cessful. But this is to the credit of
the Republican, and not the Democrat
ic party. The Republican party loses,
because it prefers defeat without the
boss and machine to success with it.
The Democratic party wins, not bo
cause of its own strength, not "because
of the good that is in it, not because of
any plan or policy which it presents,
but because of the disscntions of a
rival whose worst clement touches the
highest star in the zenith of its politi
cal life. It is purely a negative suc
cess. It finds a blank and writes its
name. While tho giants are contend
ing for tho chair of State tho dwarf
slips between them and sits down in it.
This open contention between politi
cal brethern is something which the
Democratic phrophet cannot quite un
derstand. And no wonder either.
Strife anddiscord, the clash of contend
ing factions, and the friction of oppos
ing opinions, these belong to the living
present. The phrophet as ho wanders
through the graveyard of past and for
gotten issues sees uuuo of this. All is
quiet and serene there, and brethern
dwell togather in harmony and join
their doleful voices in singing the
praises of their ancestral glory. When
they can reach the ear of living acting
people they pitch their tune to another
key and chant toe death march of tho
Republican party. Now and then, they
do have somo discord over the possess
ion of the mound which marks tho
earthly end of somo well loved doctrine,
or when there is a chance of masking
themselves in some of tho cast off gar
ments of thp Republican party, and
thus slipping into an official position
But these quarrels areonIyniomentary.
Tammany may snap at Tilden, and Til
den in return may whine at Tammany
but there is no principle in it. It is
purely personal and selfish.
This Pennsylvania contest is a com
bat which isbut the beginning of a new
era in the Republican party. It may,
and probably will defeat us there this
time, but it will teach a class of self
constituted political leaders that they
arc not the Republican party. It will
teach them that the people, the best
and greatest and most of them consti
tute that party and that they, and they
alone, will control it.
School Books.
A little judicious legislation might
be profitably directed to a better pro
vision for furnishing text books for the
schools in this State. The present
method, not only rfbults in furnishing
some very inferior books, but is a great
hardship upon many poor people. In
the first place, many of tho text books
usually prescribed under the prese'nt
system are inferior in matter andde
fective m arrangement. The greatest
difficulty, however, is that they are
not adapted to the wants and needs of
our country schools. A book which
might be well adapted to a community
which could support a well graded
school nine months in a year, might
not, and probably would not, answer
the purpose of an ungraded country
school of three or four months in each
year. In the next place, text books
are sold at entirely too high a pries. '
A school book which retails at 75 cents,
can be printed and bound for 15, cents.
A fair allowance for royalty to the
authjouldnotbringthe . first cost
of such aooSabove 25 or 30 cents.
These books might be furnished by the
State so that purchasers could get them
at an advance of not more than
ten per cent, above the actual cost of
manufacture. As it is, thousands of
dollars are annually made from tho sale
of text books, -and parents are com
pelled to contribute this profit, or deny
their children the benefits of an educa
tion. There are many practical teachers
in thie State who :ould compile text
books much better adapted to our
schools than those now in use. We
can name one man in this county whoso
education and experience as a teacher
in our common schools, would enable
him to prepare books much better for
the schools of this State than the series
now employed. If the State furnished
the books, the experience of some of
these educators might bo profitably
utalized in their preparation. The
royalty might be thus reduced so that
well arranged text books suited to our
country schools could be furnished at
less than one half their present cost
aud that too, without lobs to the State.
Itntlroail Tai.
Sometime ago, a suit was begun, in
the United States Circuit Court at San
Francisco, by the County of San Mateo
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, for the collection of Stale and
Countj taxes, assessed against the prop-
1881-82, and five per cent, for non
payment of them. Last week, Justice
Field decided the case in favor of the
Railroad company upon the fallowing
grounds:
First That in making the assess
ment no deduction was allowed for the
mortgage on the property, such deduc
tion being allowed on the asbessment
of the property of individuals; and
Second That no opportunity was
given to the company to bo heard be
fore the State Board of Equalization
respecting the assessment. There must,
therefore, be a new assessment.
It would seem from this, that thero
is either a very weak point in the law,
or there has been great mismanage
ment on the part of those whoso busi
ness it is to make the assessment. If
individuals are permitted to deduct
mortgage debts, it is difficult to under
stand why corporations should not en
joy tho same privilege. In their zeal
against the railroad, tho officers have
evidently overreached themselves.
This may be very good political capital
but it is certainly very poor manage
ment, to say the least. There are a
great many abuses of railroad com
panies which certainly should be cor
rected, but thero is much danger that
opposition to them will descend into
communism. When they are required
to pay taxes upon the same conditions
as individuals, all is required that can
be sanctioned by cool and deliberate
judgment. It may gratify a certain
feeling of rormigu to oppress au op
pressor, but it is injustice all the same.
The great mercantile establishment
of A. T. Stewart and Co. in New York
has closed its doors. The business has
been gradually falling off ever since
the death of its illustrious founder.
Judge Hilton, who is managing the
estate, has no business ability
and, what is worse he seems to think
he has. This is, perhaps, a matter
which does not mnch concern thef
public at large, but it is a forcible
example to- show that it is not every
person who can manage a largo busi
ness. A largo part of the Malheur Indian
reservation has, by a recent order of
the President, been thrown open to
settlers. The tract is about sixty mile3
square and is one of the best stock
raising regions in this State. It is
well watered, has a good climato and
will, no doubt, be rapidly taken up by
settlers. Congressman George, as well
as Senators Groverand Slater, deserves
great credit for his efforts in opening
this vast territory to settlement.
A Second ClrcHlar.
Hubble has hsucd a second assess
ment circular. This is addressed to
those Federal officers who did not re
spond to his first solicitation. In this
circular he expresses "surprise" at
tho "refusal" of the person addressed
to send in his contribution in answer
to tho first invitation. His first cir
cular was bad enough but this one is
infinitely worse. So much so, indeed,
that Senator Hoar, who defended the
first, upon the ground that it was only
an invitation which might be either
accepted or rejected by the person to
whom it was addressed, now condemns,
in unmeasured terms, thfs second cir
cular. Senator Hoar still insists that
he does not believe, that any national
office holder will be disturbed for his
refusal to respond to the circular. He
however pronounces the first circular
unfortunate, and this second one as
doubly so. "What right" ho says
"has anybody who has asked a freeman
or a gentleman to contribute, to a
nublic obiect to inform hiriiiathp i
surprised by his refusal! It is very
plain that Mr. Hubbel does not regard
these contributions as merely voluntary
no matter how loud and long may be
his professions to tho contrary. Hp'
belongs to that school of politiciars
who are wedded to the spoils system
and who look upon Government oftfees
as the legitimate merchandise of the
party in power. This is very old and
very sound Democratic doctrine, but if
Mr. Hubble will put tho tip of his
fingers upon tho popular pulse for one
moment, he will find that the present
sentiment of tho Republican party is
a long way in advance of such politi
cal practices.
California I'rolilliillonlttii.
The prohibitionists of California have
nominated a full State ticket and
adopted a platform. Dr. R. II. Mc
Donald, as candidate for Governor,
heads the ticket. The opinion appears
to be unanimous that they have select
ed a.standard bearer who is thoroughly
qualified to honor the position to which
he aspires. In one respect, at least,
the platform is a decided improvement
upon the generality of such document;.
It is plain, concite, and to the point.
There is no attempt to straddle or
double-deal on any subject. Of course
the main question, is that of temper
ance, but the platform embraces also
tho monopoly, debris, and Sunday
questions, and presents a Square issue
upon each. While it is by no means
likely that this party will make any
formidable show at the polls it has an
nounced its position on the various
questions involved in the campaign
with a manly and outspoken directness
which is exceedingly refreshing. No
matter what opinions one may enter
tain in reference to the purpose of this
party every ono must respect it for its
evident sincrity and for the courage
displayed in openly and fearlessly pro
claiming, its principles without any of
fort to conciliate anybody.
For nearly two years, Mr. John I.
Davenport has been working up the
celebrated Morey letter forgery case.
He now claims to havo succeeded in
finding the forger, in the person of one
H. II. Hadlny, a renegade Republican
in the employ of tho Democratic Na
tional committee. He claims to have
worked out the whole process of the
infamous forgery which will, in a short
time, be published in full, in pamphlet
form. It will implicate several very
prominent Democratic . politicians.
The country long ago, settled down to
the conviction that many of these
worthies were mixed up inhe matter.
If they had nothing to do with plan
ning or perpetrating the forgery, they
eargely caught it up, and circulated it,
knowing it to be a forgery.
Last week.in speakinsof the Comet,
we said that it was not visible on this
coast. Now, that was an error and we
respectfully be? leave to render due
apologies therefore and correct tho
same. The comet ;au be seen an'
morning about five o'clock. It is a most
beautiful sight too, and will well pay
anybody to get up early to see it. The
fact is, that our comet editor, was off on
a vacation last w eek and we set our
courtt house reporter to write the
matter up, and he whs probably thinking
of our defunct temple of justice when
he was writing of the comet.
Tho Mormons havo secured the ser
vices of Judge Jere Black to argue
their case before the secretary of the
interior -He is trying to remove Gov.
Murry and to prove the Utah com
mission unconstitutional. It is to be
hoped that Judge Black will get a
good fee out of the case for he is not
going to get much honor out of it.
The Anti-monoply party of Nebraska
have nominated E. P. Ingersoll for
Governor and put a complete State
ticket in the field. The political field
seems to be pretty we!l covered with
tickets this year. The mystic source
of salt river will be thoroughly
explored after tho full clectios.
