PrBLIc SCHOOLS. - The Chicago board OF
school directors held a meeting in December,
at which some very severe reform measures
were adopted. The committee on salaries hand
ed in a schedule which would cause the hair OF
Walla Walla teacher to turn gray The high
est salary proposed in this schedule to simple
teachers is 5000 per year, and the lowest $3.50.
The body of the corps, composed of teachers OF
five years experience, would receive 5000, with
a proposition, however, to increase this sum to
$3.50. The salaries are evidently inadequate,
but it is urged that the city cannot afford to dc
better by her teachers at present. Chicago
like MANY other American cities, discounted
the future some years ago, and is still stasser
;ur under the load. If other departments OF
the city government are conducted as econom
icallv as her schools, the city will soon get the
better of her financial difficulties. Here IL
Walla Walla the male teachers IN the pubii'
schools are paid at the rate Of $50 per month
and the lady teachers $50. This sum Is deemed
nv the teachers inadequate, and the direction
are frequently importuned to raise their pay.

EDITOR STATESMAN Il am credibly inform
ed that Mr.. f. Ping is spoken of as a candidate
for the constitutional convention This is either
severe irony or designed as fiattery to the old
man. l arrive at this conclusion from the fact
that the aforesaid gentleman in all his legisla
tive experience evidenced no fitness whatever
for such position. 1t is a fact susceptible oi
the clearest proof, that in the season of 1873 he
made but one motion, and that was suggested
to him by the speaker. If this single motion
demonstrates his fitness to frame the organic law
that is to govern the new state, then We have a
clear illustration Of how little ability is required
to govern a country God save us from the rule
of small men, is a sentiment to which heartily
subscribe

ANOTHER STRIKE-A few weeks since the
hens in this valley went on a strike, and left
The county in an eq9s hausted condition. We
now have To chronicle similar freak on the part
"i the cows, and As a consequence the regular
"a'ier is denied his usual supply of the lac
.eA mud wherewith Ia dilute his coffee. These
SrlSes sustain the Darwin theory that men
All animals are descended from common an

Grange Resolution.

At the last regular meetingof Pomona Grange
No. l, P. of H., the following resolution was
passed:
Resolred, That the members of Walla Walla
Pomona Grange No. l, p. of H., tender their
sincere thanks to Brothers Stewart, Barnes
and Martin, who SO nobly upheld our rights
and interests in the railroad bill, which, had
those members, viz: Gregory and Vansyckle,
who voted against it, done what was reason
ably expected of them, would have been great
relief to the farmers of this country.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. We notice
that the names of quite a number of yery re-
spectacle gentlemen are being put forward as
proper persons to assist in framing the consti-
tuition for the proposed State of Washington.
1t is deemed high honor TO take part in fram.
ing the fundamental law for new common
wealth, and hence this rush to the front of so
many aspirants, whose chief recommendation
Is their respectability. At the sessions of the
Legislature it is uniformly found that the coun.
ties send up men altogether respectable, but
who are woefully lacking in ability A CORES
pondent refers to respectable OLD gentleman
who during an entire session made but one
motion, and to do that it was necessary for the
speaker to prompt him Now the representa-
tive was paid at the rate of Sc day, which for
period of forty days represents s24O, and
mileage, say 500, makes the total cost of
$40 for a single motion. At these figures an
incompetent man is dear investment, and we
have to suggest that such men will be out of
place in the constitutional convention. In the
convention that framed the national constitu-
tion the ablest men in the land were gathered
together, and the result was an instrument that
challenges the admiration of the world. So
in Washington territory, the best and ablest
men should be selected to frame the new con
stitution, and then We may expect that the
fundamental law of the state will be model
paper of its kind The putty heads that have
heretofore had places in the legislature have
made Washington territory the laughing stock
of the country. When We come to electing
delegates to the constitutional convention let
US make better showing

DExTITUTIoN.-We hear Of several cases Of
destitution within the city limits that should
receive immediate relief The first is the case
Of man with wife and large family of chill
dren, ali in destitute condition. The man has
been ont of employment for several months,
and is entirely destitute. He has his family
in house that affords very slight protection
against inclement weather. Altogether this is
a case that appeals to all those who are alive to
the calls of humanity. Another is the case of
boy, possibly L years Of age, who is without
home and has no one to care for him. This
boy roams about town in daytime, and at night
sleeps in sheds and out buildings. The authori-
ties should take charge of this boy and procure
him place with some farmer where he could
have a comfortable home and he taught to work
In a country teemin, with abundance no one
not even the most d. graded should be permit
ted to suffer. Persons disposed to contribute
either money or provisions to the relief OF the
destitute family noticed above, can Obtain
further information on applying to the editor.
In the case of the boy We will be glad to hear
from any farmer friend who can offer him
home.

FINE STONE WoRK.-Our neighbor, Mr. d.
j. Coleman, on the opposite side of the street,
has just completed several very fine monu-
ments that are creditable to his skill as a work
| er in marble The first is a stone made to the
order of Hon. c. S. Bush, and already placed
over the grave Of his son in the Walla Walla
cemetery. The work on this stone, the letter
ias and everything about it, is very fine. Next
is marble tombstone intended to be placed
over the grave of Lewis McGrary, who now
rests in the Catholic cemetery. This tomb
stone is made to the order of his widow, and
is the highest evidence of how well she cher
! ishes the memory of her deceased husband.
Another handsome tombstone is that made for
Mr. George A. Reed, and intended to be plac-
ed over tine grave of his wife. Like the Others
it is well lettered and highly finished. A
monument made for Mr. j. H. Kennedy, of
Dayton, and intended to be placed over his
wife and three children, is a beautiful piece of
workmanship, and would show well in any
eemetry. We are pleased to notice these evi-
dences of regard for the dead. They show that
our people cultivate the sentimental as well as
the useful, and that the memory of the dear
departed is still cherished.
