An Excellent Idea-PIant Trees.

The law, we believe, authorizes the
County Superintendent of Schools to
set out trees about school buildings
and pay the expense thereof out of the
school fund. Very little attention has
beed paid to this kind of improvement
and adornment of school property in
cur county up to this time, but our
aew Superintendent, Mr. SAXON, pro-
poses to give the matter more atten-
tion than it has heretofore received.
In order, however, to attain the de-
sired end without using the school
money, he suggests the plan of devot-
ing one day in the Spring of each year
to the setting out Of trees and shrub
berry about the school houses. On the
day fixed upon, the teacher and such
of his pupils as are of sufficient age
to engage in the work, will set out and
prune trees and otherwise adorn the
school grounds. We think Mr.. SAX
oNs idea an excellent one, and we
should be pleased to see it acted upon
this Spring. Suppose the 18th of
March, which is holiday with many
of our citizens, is set apart for tree
planting on the school grounds. There
will be no school on that day, and the
teacher and the boys will plant trees.
The young lady pupils will grace the
occasion with their presence, and
honor the work with their superin-
tendency. We doubt not our orchard
lists and nurserymen will contribute
the young trees, and an application to
the Los Angeles Timber Growing
Association, of which Judge WIDNEY
is President, will, we think, secure all
the young eucalyptus trees required
The watering and other care of the
trees after they are planted will of
course deyolye upon the teacher and
the pupils, but having commenced
the good work they will take pride
- seeing 1t prosper. If Superinfend-
ont SAxoN-'s idea Is acted upon Every
school house in the county VIII III u
few wears be embowered i'll trees, ana
the school grounds adorned with rose
busl .es and other ornamental shrub
berry. Let the 18th of March inaugu-
rate a work which shall bear fruit and
flowers that will refresh and cheer af-
ter generations and cause the children
of coming ages to remember the tree
planters of to-day with feelings of
gratitude and pleasure.

ALL the offices in the county, save
that of Treasurer, are filled by Demo-
Gratis. The incumbents were elected
on platform promising retrenchment
and reform, and We hope and believe
that none will forget to redeem prom
ises made before election. Our county
officers, like those who have just re.
tired, are all worthy citizens and esti-
mable. gentlemen, and we have nc
doubt they will prove themselves eff
cient officers, and thatAhey will, when
their stewardship is ended, each and
every one, receive from the people
the earnest plaudit, "Well done thou

What Railroads 90.

Those of our people who are urging
the passage of ARCHER's freights and
fares bill-a bill which if passed we
are assured will cause an immediate
cessation of railroad building. through
out the State-will do well to read the
appended article clipped from late
number of the San Diego World.
Welded as San Diego has long been
to the Tom SCOTT scheme, the people
have fought, with a desperation wor-
thy q better cause, the only company
that could and would have given them
the railroad facilities necessary to a
development of their RESOURCES, plac-
ing them in q prosperous condition.
The result Of their blind preference and
foolish antagonism is detailed by the
World as follows:
We have before said to our readers
that the postponement of the Scott
bill in Congress means its death, ana
we adhere to that idea. much as 9th
ers may differ with US. Il Ehe road Is
ever built now, it will be built on and
from the subsidies that it may have.
We trust that it may be built from
these, but we may even be disappoihts
ed in that. POstponement is fatal
No man can see far enough into futu-
rity to promise the success of the Scott
bill with an election for Congressman
in every district in the United States
to occur before that time, for while
the selection of members will only be
changed in few instances, he cannot
foretell the nature of Instructions 10
the sitting members, who would feel
themselves III duty bound to harken
to such Instructions. ANY other sort
of song is bpt q mere LULLABY to sooth
our people into sleep that if not un-
ending viii! be too lasting foronr good.
We repeat 1t. that other and more
promising enterprises must be entered
into to make our town AND county.
Yesterday We had short conversation
with Captain Johnson of the Orizaba.
We said, "Why, Captain, you are
leaving port 0 day in advance. Why
is that "Weii," said he, "there is
but little freight here; the Arizona
stage arrived last night, and 1 shall
have no passengers, Inc Ire'gnt
above has been accommodating for some
time and / must run up and take it
away.u That is the statement that
hurts, and we must manage to change
the fact or we may possibly lose more
than the Tom Scott bill. We want
more acres ip corn, in wheat, IN bar
ley more apiaries, more sheepfolds,
more stock ranches TO make bqsi-
ness for both railroads and vessels.

We had call yesterday from Fos-
ter Backman, Freight Clerk of the ILL
fated Kalorama. Mr.. BackmaB for
merly resided in Los Angeles, and has
many friends and acquaintances here.
He is an enforced victim through the
destruction of his ship. This is the
young gentlemap's first shipwreck,
we believe, and he may COUNT himself
fortunate that he escaped SO well. For
several trips just preceding the wreck
of the Pacific he sailed on that vessel,
but was transferred to the Kalorma on
the very voyage which proved the Pa
cific's destruction and the loss of every
life but one or two on board. Mr.
Backman will go back on the line as
soon as summoned

THE consideration of ARCHER's
sreiohis and fares bill which has al
ready passed the House comes up in
the Senate to-eay. u is impossible to
Indicate what disposition will be made
of the bill by the Senate. It's pre-
sumable the vote will be close should
a final ballot bt taken to-day. Ihe
result depends to great extent on the
report Of the. Senate Committee on
Corrorations as the bill was sent to
that Committee c n its receipt from the
House. An amendment Will OF course
send it back to the House or pta."e II
in the hands of IL joint committee.
The disposition of the bill is matter
of great Importance to the people of
Southern California. Its passage as
It now reads will oe bit of disastrous
legislation to this part of the State as

ounce of preventative that is worth a
pound of cure. We fear it is from the
fact that many banks are weak and
unsafe that comes the influence which
makes the Bank Commissioner bill so
unpopular in the Legislature.

Intelligence has been received at BON
bay that the plague has appeared on the
banks of the Euphrates.
News from the City of Mexico is, that
in Yucatan the troops put to death some
revolutionist prisoners, and the revolutions
lists retaliated by shooting some federal
officers.
Baron Radich, on the part of Austria,
has informed the Herzegovinian insurgents
that their conditions we're inadmissable; that
Austria would maintain complete neutral
ity; strictly guard the frontier, and cease to
relieve refugees at the end of March.
The Herzegovinians answer the Turk
ish bulletins by battles, and have plastered
the proclamation of proposed reforms all
over with deaths heads. The Austrians' cry
of peace was responded to by a sanguinary
engagement in which 500 Turks were killed.
This is the insurgents way of reforming the
government and punctuating the policy with
which the great powers are settling the east
ern question. Give the people chance and
they will give the sick man funeral that
will leave no possibility for a resurrection.
A new difficulty in the way of peace
has arisen in Turkey. The Christian sub
jects of the sultan have hitherto been exempt
from military duty, and they now refuse to
pay the exemption tax, and offer instead to
give their military service. The Christians
justify their action on the promise contained
in the sultan's Grade of a full and perfect
equality with the Mohammedans. The sub
lime porte refuses to accept, on the grounds
that the Christians are not to be trusted III

FroebePs kindergarten Theories.

His whole method founded itself upon
the child's nature. A child is social,
therefore he must have companions and
not be left to the solitude of his home.
He is active and fond of making-keep
him busy, and help him to produce
things. He loves the earth-give him a
garden patch. He is an artist-give him
music, initiative action, and other apprO-
pirate means of expression. He is GU
rious-teach him to think and discover.
He is religious-lead him to trust in God.
On this last he said: God-trust, rock
firm God-trust, has died out of the world.
The kindergarten shall bring it back so
that the next generation of children
shall be Gods children"
Here is work for a child, not against
the grain, but with it; not in violation
of GOd's S law in the child's nature, but
in loving obedience to it. Instead of
punishing the lad who makes pictures
upon his slate, the loving kindergarten
master puts him to making pictures, and
gently shows him how to produce with
his fingers the pictures that float in his
brains. Instead of rebuking his curiosity
and constructiveness, the Keilhau school
master yokes them to his purpose. In
stead of checking the child's sweetest i'm
pulse-the impulse to play-he conse-
crates it. Jean Paul has said: Play
is the child's first poetry" 1t was
wise and poetic saying of poet. But
Froebel was not a poet, but schOOlmas-
ter and philosopher. He went deeper,
and said the supreme word about play
when he called it "the first work of
childhood" 1t is the child's chief busi
ness, Use play TO serve the ends of edu-
cation YOU may, but to do away with it
is the objectionable sin of the prevalent
method of teaching-E EgglestOn.
