About fifteen members of the General Committee were present, Mr, Bond, Chairman of the locked committee, explained the fix that he aud his five feliow patriots had got into. Mr. Walling, another of the divided ccmmittee, said he and two more had ineisted upon getting a speaker from abroad, believing that the desire was to attract as many people to the celebration as possible, and that ah outsider wou!d prove a much ‘better card. There were three of ‘the committee who thought home talent as brilliant and not as expensive, Mr. Blakey heard that he had been mentioned as the choice of a part of the committee. He would take this opportunity to decline being considered in the field, and preferred getting a man of State repute at moderate expense, second thought had changed his views. The townspeople pay the expenses, and. should. receive the benefit of all obtainable attractions. Mr. Zekind did not think it right to spend $150 or $200 to bring in a speaker, The business men would not contribute as much as in past years. If we get $500 this time it will be doing pretty well. ‘Three years ago the hotels gave $40 apiece, but they wouldn’t again, : Mr. Walling explained that there was no man desirable as an oratur who would want a dol'ar outside of his expenses, Men of that class don’t orate on the 4th of J uly for coin, Governor Perkins, Henry Edgerton, and that kind wou'dn’t expect wages, and wouldn’t accept such if offered, ; Mr. Donnelly as a member of the sub-committee voted tor home talent It would cost $50 anyway to get a speaker from elsewhere, and he wouldn't draw a bit bigger crowd. Keep the money at home, said Mr. Donnelly. Mr. Rolfe was on the committee and voted for an imported orator, because he thonght one of that kind would ¢faw better, It we were bound to-have home talent he would prefer Mr. Blakey. It is an absurdivy that we can’t raise enough money, exclaimed Mr. Rolfe. We can get $1,000 1f we need it. But the committee--myst not go around whining about har. times. It must stir up men’s patriotism, and thea they will give gladly because there is as much money here as ever. Mr. Rolfe did not want to have anything more to do with the celebration if it was just to benefit saloons and hotels and cigar stores. He did not think that it was the proper aim of such celebrations, Mr, Zekind fired baek at the last gentleman by saying that business men generally didn’t anticipate making money out of these public demonstrations, and that when there wae no celebration he for‘one always bad a better trade. Money was close, and he knew it from having talked with various parties. Mr, Walling cited the time when Governor Booth delivered the oration here on a similar ozcasion. People came from all over the county, still he hoped that it wasn’t the intention of any to make a mere spec a'ation out of the celebration. Mr. Carr wanted to-know by what right all this wordy sharpshooting was going on. It occurred to him that there was no question before the meeting, The same thing evidently occurred to several others present, and they laughed because they had not thought of it before. : Mr. Zekind moved that the General Committee instruct the subcommittee to procure. foreign talent to deliver the oration. Mr. Bond seconded it. Mr. Dunniclift’s suggestion to add the words “‘at acost not to exceed $50” was accepted aa an amendment. Some one moved ‘‘as a substitute” that the committee be instructed to if they could: : ‘Mr. Walling hoped that the meeting wonld remember that there was no such a thing as a substitute in that connection.

Preston, who was former! a teacher in the public schools o this county, contained an article which had for its subject “The Ne vada County School Scandal,” and which was reproduced Wednesday in the Grass Valley Daily Tidings. The writer of that article has seen fit to indulge in some strictures upon our local press which are by no means warranted. Matters of local concern which appear in the columns of our daily papers are gathered either from general street talk or from some authentic private source, Ta the one case-the reporter very naturally supposes that ‘‘what everybody says must be sc,” and in the other he acts upon his confidence in the testimony of reliable witnesses, The latter is by far the safer criterion by which to judge of the correctness of information. Public ramor cannot a!ways be relied upon, while the presumptions are strongly in favor of the trath of statements which are positively made by persons of known veracity. It was from this latter class of testimony that the editor of the TRansvRIrT received his information, and in accordance, therewith, like any other newspaper ‘man ‘of spirit, independence and enterprise, he gave it & place in his paper. I don’t know what kind of a gentleman the Stockton Herald boasts of for its editor, “ut if he has any brains which sumet’mes are very essential in the mana -ement of a daily journal, he certainty would have pursued precisely the course adopted in this matier by the Transcrier, If news of, this kiud, emanating as it does from apparenily unquestioned sources, news of intense local interest and which largely concerns the general public, cannot find its way into public print by reason of its lability to offsnd somebody, then surely the ambitious and faithinl newspaper man has lost his occupation. In the exercise of she very best of.discretion errors will metimes occur, No man is infallile. The Tranecerrr had a right to presime that those young ladies were telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and to act upon such information. Indeed, contrary presumptions would have been evidence of an absolute want of confidénce in common humanity. They are young ladies of more than ordinary intelligence, and for character enjoy reputations. in this community which are above reproach, Their statements were positive and being uncontradicted. at that time were certairly indicative of guilt upon the part of those charged. Ii what-those young ladies say is true certificates were issued to undeserving applicants, And said young ladies are reliable, disinterested witnesses, It appears the ‘matter has reduced’ itself down to a question of veracity, by the Board of Education. No douht the gentlemen of the Board are dispused to do their duty.

The murderer was then disarmed and taken to jaily where. he has been sleeping off the -efects of his drunken spree most. of the day.

Preston, who was former! a teacher in the public schools o this county, contained an article which had for its subject “The Ne vada County School Scandal,” and which was reproduced Wednesday in the Grass Valley Daily Tidings. The writer of that article has seen fit to indulge in some strictures upon our local press which are by no means warranted. Matters of local concern which appear in the columns of our daily papers are gathered either from general street talk or from some authentic private source, Ta the one case-the reporter very naturally supposes that ‘‘what everybody says must be sc,” and in the other he acts upon his confidence in the testimony of reliable witnesses, The latter is by far the safer criterion by which to judge of the correctness of information. Public ramor cannot a!ways be relied upon, while the presumptions are strongly in favor of the trath of statements which are positively made by persons of known veracity. It was from this latter class of testimony that the editor of the TRansvRIrT received his information, and in accordance, therewith, like any other newspaper ‘man ‘of spirit, independence and enterprise, he gave it & place in his paper. I don’t know what kind of a gentleman the Stockton Herald boasts of for its editor, “ut if he has any brains which sumet’mes are very essential in the mana -ement of a daily journal, he certainty would have pursued precisely the course adopted in this matier by the Transcrier, If news of, this kiud, emanating as it does from apparenily unquestioned sources, news of intense local interest and which largely concerns the general public, cannot find its way into public print by reason of its lability to offsnd somebody, then surely the ambitious and faithinl newspaper man has lost his occupation.
