THE CALIFORNIA JEXECTIOX.
The press of Oregon and California
have made considerable comment on
the result of the California election.
The Orcgonlan says:
"The newspapers of California are study
ing the meaning and moral of the recent
election. The Bulletin, Call and Union
nee in it the determination of the people to
overthrow'the railway power in politic.
The Chronicle's opinion we gave yester
day. And now the Oakland News, which
was throughout a staunch supporter of the
straight Republican ticket (for Alameda
county) in announcing the defeat of its
candidate for State Senator, and consider
in that it is at liberty to speak its whole
mind, says that " the fact stood out con
spicuously that a Convention had not
nominated the man its delegates were sent
there to vote for;" that the candidate was
not a reliable Republican, but achieved
his nomination by disgraceful political
jugglery. Yet these things, the News
think, did not justify the masses of the
party in scratching his name. It talks a
Ktfift wcrmHiillv. however, and its reflec
tions are of some interest, as they indicate
a certain change in old, and established
beliefs, that has just come over numerous
.-taunchpaity journals in California."
The Portland Evening News says:
The California election is full of sig
nificance. It indicates the extent oi me i
popular uprising against monopolies in
California, and the determination of the
people to repudiate the Republican paity
since its surrender to them. Not a man
on the regular Republican ticket was
elected. The successful candidates all be
longed to the diflcrcnt anti-monopoly ticket-.
There was elected upon the straight
Democratic ticket: Roach, State Senator;
ttnbm-t "ITmvG. Ashcmblvman: Ryan, Dis-
trict Attorney; Hurbert, Treasurer; Cock
rill, Chief of Police; Prank, Recorder;
Denman, Superintendent of Schools; and
Siocs, one of the three Pire Commission
ers. All others elected belong to the In
dependent ticket. The result is import
ant, since the contest was waged on the
pari of the anti-monopolists with a divided
foice, against the Central Pacific Railroad,
and with a decisive result."
" od Save the Queen. '
Astoria Sept. lGth 1S73.
Editor Asteriax:
I see in the last issue of your paper
that you, in speaking of Tslr. Guilder's
introduce
performance as a pianist, i
him as playing in exquisite style,
" God save the Queen." It occurred
to me thatit would he in good taste
to give you a short history of that
truly national air. The great German
composer, Joseph Hay den, in his
younger days, gave the air, and the
words, "God save the King," to the
German people, and its great popu
laritv, and adoption as the German
National hymn established the char
acter and reputation of Hayden as a
musical composer.
England soon learned to appreciate
its merits, and arranged the words
as we read them now, " God save the
Queen," and it became the National
air of England.
About the time ot our American
Revolution, the words, "My country
'tis of thee," etc., were written by an
American, and set to the same air,
under the name "America."
The English accused us of stealing
their national hymn, but we retort
ed, "you stole it from your German
cousins."
The rendition by Mr. Guilder was
truly wonderful; the acme of perfec
tion. The arrangement is his own,
not yet given to the world. Madame
Anna Bishop has been, and is, her

It is sad to see persons -who might
enjoy much of happiness in the
world, hunting their surroundings
for some dark,forbidding and unpleas
ant thing to be groaned over instead of
living in the sunlight, and gathering
pleasant things in the garden of ob
servation and experience. Though
times may be dull, that is no reason
why we should give way to despon
dency. It is true that many of the
uno le on this coast have not had
their anticipations realized, but after
all we are superlatively better oft as
a people than those in the older
states, so on the whole we should be
cheerful rather than otherwise. On
all occasions look on the bright
side of things. It is the right side.
fxh.Q times may be hard, but it will
make them no easier by wearing a
gloomy, sad countenance, It is the
sunshine and not the cloud, that
makes the flower. Full one-half of
our ills are only in imagination.
There is always that before or around
us which should cheer and fill the
heart with warmth.

The readers and snellers will bo selected
about the middle of September.
Tho law requires that tho books selected
shall bo introduced into all tho Public Schools
of the State, " on or before the first day of Oc
tober, lb7.." But the act, (owing to an inad
vertent omission in framing it), did not go into
cllcct until three months after tho close of tho
session, and as thero has been some unavoida
ble delay from other causes, the text-books
have been adopted at so lato a day that it
would be a hardship upon tho patrons ot the
schools to insist upon having tne introduction
of tho "authorized" series completed oy tne
dav named in tho law. Dndcr these circum
stances tho State .Board of Education has con
cluded to take tho responsibility of extending
tho timo so as to securo tlio gradual muouue
tion of the books that have been adopted.
Hence, though it will be expected and required
that all tho Public Schools of tne State shall
begin in good faith " on or before October 1st,
lbT.J," vif tho books can do procured by that
timo, to introduce tho " authorised" scries,
they will bo allowed until March 1st, ltw 1,
to complete tho introduction. (By the order
of tho Superintendent of Public Instruction for
the Stato of Oregon.) .
In the meantime, let xusirict-LiruuiAu,

are introduced as rapidly as possible, After
