ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION.

1t will be seen that all the polling places
in the city are TO be opened, and for that
reason. and with the view OF saving candi-
dates all expenses possible. the committee
have provided for the employment Of the
minimum number OF clerks aud judges.
They have cut the force down as low as
possible, but still it is believed that with
quick, well-informed men in these positions
the vote can he polled even at such large
precincts as first Monroe and hrst Clay.

The Insane Hospital.

4 communication has been re-
ceived, accompanied by letter
signed by two well-known citizrus
of Pierce county, reviewing an article
which appeared in the Seattle Lt.iit,
g.ncer of the 23d instant, comment
ing upon the management OF this
institution. 1t would be impossible
for our readers to form on opinion
upon the merits of the controversy
without the publication of our cou.
temporarys' article with the commu-
nicatton, and this, as it will he seen
We have not space at present to dc.
There has been, for some time past
a growing impression that the inter
ests of the Hospital have not been
economically or jndiciouslv man
aged, and this idea is beginning to
find very tangible support in the
shape of facts. The correspondent
alleges that the "mild" discipline
adopted by the resident physician,
amounts really to no discipline at all.
The patients are allowed to stroll of
on their own responsibility, and the
Territory is put to unnece ssary ex-
pense for their recovery. He like
wise charges that the selection OF
wardens. and other employees, is
made without regard to fitness, mere
ly to suit the personal likes and dis
likes of the resident physician, who
acts as superintendent. Grave ex-
ceptions are taken to late appoint
ment of q successor to Mr.. Peterson
the Head Warden, who. he affirms,
is stranger, inexperienced in the
duties incumbent upon him. This
led to the resignation of the First
Second and Third Wardens, leaving
the worst class of patients under the
control of new and inexperienced
attendants.
The management of the finances
of the insituation are likewise receiv.
ing some attention. It is openly
charged that contracts for supplies
were not let to the lowest responsible
bidders. as contemplated by law,
and that the money sometimes flows
into the pockets of relatives and
friends of the Trustees, in a manner
that excites some apprehension that
everything is not as it should be
TLen again the "blank voucher,
business seems to have been revived,
and it is alleged that one Trustee al
least, has received pay for services
he did not perform. The facts, as
stated to us, will be given more
fully, if any of the gentlemen com
posing the board demand the proof.
It really seems that there must be
some fire where there is so much
smoke. The people are vitality in
terested in the economical admins
tration Of trust which requires an,
nualIy one-half the Territorial re.
venue to sustain it. If indications
amount to anything, the institution
will require q much larger bucket OF
whitewash than it did eighteen
months ago to restore it to anything
like its original purity.

Senator Slater on the Tariff.

The following extract is taken
from speech made by Senator Sla-
ter in the United States Senate on
the ID of February, upon the re-
vision of the tariff. The relations
of the two parties to the tariff ques-
ton are cogently stated. We ask
the attention of our farmer friends
to the subject:
And now that the tariff-revision
question is at last before the two
Houses of Congress, how stands the
contest between opposing interests
the protected monopolies and the
people who bear the burdens of tax.
alton? Who champions the interests
Of the great working and consuming
classes? Aud who champions the
other side, where are ranged all the
manufacturing interests, pleading
that the consumers of the country
shall be taxed upon all that they
consume in order that they, the
manufacturers, may fatten upon the
indirect exactions made possible
through the imposition of duties
levied upon foreign importations
Who has, from day to day, defended
the interests of that great class
scattered all over the North, West.
= and South, engaged in agricultural
pursuits ? And who have plead for
high duties upon every class of man
ufactured products, from slate
pencil to a locomotive, for fear that
some manufacturer income might
be reduced just little if the rate of
duty was lowered or some struggling
industry like pig-iron. might die out
or perish for want of protection.
The record will show that it has
been in every respect party con-
test. The Republican with a very
few exceptions voting steadily and
solidly for the highest rates of duty
often largely increasing present rates,
while the Democrats with equally
few exceptions have as uniformly
urged and voted for lowering tariff
rates and to increase the free list in
many cases.

Necessity take time to grade a school,
even under most favorable conil-
tons, and Ue cannot expect to prOXl-
mate to any thing like a we'll regu
lated system, when frequent promo
tons can be made, at stated periods,
until we can lengthen our school
terms, and command the services of
good talent. We must DO away with
the disintegrating effects of select
schools portion Of the year. The
classes must be kept together to
secure interest and insure success.
For the benefit of all concerned we
earnestly desire that some plan may
be devised to continue at least the
primary, intermediate and gram
mar grades, under the supervision
of their respective teachers, for three
months longer. This can be done
if the patrons will pay a small tuition
for each child. BY SO doing the
classes can be kept together, and be
ready to begin next year under favor
able auspices. Pupils dropping out
of the ranks now will fall behind
their classes, and it will be difficult
to grade next year.
Patrons Of Olympia Public Schools:
when you aid our Directors in devils
ing means for continuing our ses-
slons nine months year; when our
instructors are adequately remuner-
ated; when you encourage our teach
ers and do your duty to your own
children by sending them regularly
to school, SO that they can keep up
in their classes, you may hope for
improvements in our school system
of which we may be proud. Until
then, We should not complain if our
anticipations are not realized. Your
School Directors can not be ex-
pected to make brick without straw.

CINCINNATI, March 2G.-The ex-

Chains" by Murillo, which was
placed in St. Pauls Cathedral in
this city many years ago, at a cost
of S25 900, has been ruined. the
sexton was trying to place screen
over it Saturday, and slipped from
the scaffold which he had erected
and fell through the picture to the
floor, Is feet below. The accident
was kept secret until last night, in
hope that the horrible rent could in
some way be patched up. That
hope is still held by Bishop Elder,
but he admits that he has serious
doubts as to whether it can be done.
The painting was covered by a
screen to-day, and thousands who
attended the different services on
Easter day were not aware that it
had been ruined.

a Foolish Voyage

IN Tooiish soyhkc
The dory Pacific, which left this
port last August under the command
and sole control of Captain Ber-
nard Gilboy, bound for Australia,
reached its destination i'll the early
part of February, after a remark
able passage. In longitude l20 de-
grees west, Gilboy met large num-
Der of sharks, which tapped his
little vessel with their tails until he
was obliged to rig a scarecrow to
keep them off. A harpoon was
made, and several of them were
speared, but they could not be
placed Oh board. On November
18th, a heavy sea struck the star
board side of the boat, turning her
bottom up. GIlboy was thrown I'M
der her, but came up OH the other
side and managed to catch hold of
the rudder. After taking off his
clothes, made drag and succeeded
in Fighting her, but she went over a
second time, losing her rudder and
two compasses. The coal oil mixed
with the bread and he was obliged
to throw both overheard. Shortly
after righting her again a sword
fish struck the boat, making a bad
leak. Gilboy was about exhausted
when he caught sea fowl. He
subsisted the remainder of the trip
on flying fish. At last accounts he
was suffering from typhoid fever,
the result of exposure.
