A PREMIUM UPON SEX.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
One Of the facts disclosed by the ex-
eellent report of Professor Crawford, City
Superintendent Of Schools, is that there
is a premium of $500 per year paid upon
the sex Of the Principals Of our common
schools. Prof. Warren Of the High
School, Prof. King Of the Central, and
Prof Pratt of the Harrison-street
School, each receives salary Of 81, 800
per annum, which l suppose to be right
until / glance further and find that Miss
Ella Sabin, the very efficient Principal
Of the North School, receives but s., 800.
Il was frequently remarked during the
past year that, though Miss Sabin held
the most difficult position to manage in
the city, she was yet quite equal to her
arduous task, being in fact the best
Principal connected with the public
schools of Portland. Many who have
admired her executive ability will be
surprised TO learn that her wages were
docked $500 by our honorable Board Of
Directors because she is a woman. II
behooves these gentlemen to explain
why this discrimination is made, as the
public view it as simply placing a pre-
MUM upon sex, which is certainly
most unjust, snd reflects great discredit
upon those who regulate the wages OF
our public school teachers. c.

The monument to the memory of the
gallant General Custer was unveiled at
West Point on the 3lst ultimo, with
impressive ceremonies. II he had
headed an army Of Revolutionists,
lighting to free themselves from tyranny
and oppression, instead OF charging q
body Of hostile redskins, 3 grateful
people would commence a monument,
and leave it unfinished, to furnish op-
pOrtunity for foreigners to comment on
the estimation in which the "Father OF
His Country" is beld by ''free American
citizens" of the United States. The
immortal Wsshlngton's efforts should
have been directed against the Indians.

The announcement is made, regret
fully, that the California racing mare,
Mollie Mccarthy, has been retired from
the turf. We do not understand the
immense good fast-running horses do in
this world. We wish all OF them might
be retired and put to some use that will
not break them down aud wear them
out like running flour mile and repeat
races under a July sun in Kentucky.
Ten Brock has not been heard from for
some time II the owner Of a span OF
horses were to overwork them on q
sultry day until the brutes were sun
struck, and still urge them forward, as
in the race between the horses at Louis
vile in 1873, the Society for the Proven
ton Of Cruelty to Animals would soon
interfere.

The Bee very sensibly takes excep-
tions to the snobbery which heralds the
fact that the Princess Louise got supper
recently at a farmhouse in Canada,
where a party, Of which she was a
member, got overtaken by a rainstorm,
saying: "Suppose the Princess did
accomplish this wonderful featl Some
thousands Of American Princesses got
supper in their own homes that even
ing, and none thought of heralding il
10 the world as a great achievement,
while the circumstance that a British
Princess foraged upon an old farmers
stores and got supper is chronicled
with a great flourish" The snobbery
that thus truckles to titles is scarcely a
degree removed from the servility that
kisses the Pope's great toe.

Returns from the California election
are meager. There are so many tickets
in the field, and the number Of offices to
be filled so large, that the count of votes
is progressing slowly. It will be several
days before the result is accurately
known. However, the indications are
that Perkins, the Republican candidate
for Governor; Kalloch, the Working
mems nominee for Mayor, and Davis,
Republican nominee for Congress in the
Ihlrd District, will be elected. It is
likely that the Republican State ticket
will be elected. The total vote polled in

The Womdn's Journal, Of Boston,
pays the following well-deserved COM
pliment to one Of the ablest workers in

''The suffrage cause in California owes
a large debt Of gratitude to one woman
whose conviction Of duty seems to have
kept pace with her ability and opportu-
nifty, Mrs. Sarah L. Knox Goodrich,
whose charming house in San Jose has
been the harbor in which all itinerating
women workers find a warm shelter
Mrs. Goodrich, in generous support Of
Woman Suffrage, has subscribed for its
papers, bought its tracts and sent them
into many homes to do their missionary
work, helped to organize societies, Of
which she has always been an efficient
officer, stimulating aud aiding women in
self-supporting occupations and profes-
siOns, and urging the rightful claims Of
women to fellowship with men,"

views Of candidates. | can find nowhere
in the plan adopted by the State Conven-
ton any authority for one committee TO un-

is not theirs, but resides wholly III the body
OF the Conservative people.
1t may be true-I think it iS-that sound
policy and I due regard for the kindly rela-
tions always existing between the county
and city demand that the county OF Henrico
should have one OF the two senators to
which the district RichmoDd aud Ucnrico)

That is an argument to be addressed to a
convention or 10 the Conservative voters di-
rcctly. In the past the conventions haYein-
variably treated Henrico with fairness.
There has never been any complaint on that
score which can remember.
Suppose, on the other hand. Henrico is
