Nothing is more distasttfiiI 10 lie
REGISTER than personal politics. We
are, glad always when the nominees
of all parties are capable and repuia-
BILE men so that there will be no occa
sion 10 discuss anything but princi-
pies. But when man is nominated
for responsible office who is notori.
nusiv and conspicuously unfit to fill il.
it becomes the duty ofan honest news-
paper to let the facts he known. That
has been done in the case of the Pupu-
list nominee for Probate Judge. We
have no personal feeling against Mr..
Marley, but we know him tn he ut
terly incapable of filling the office :"
which he aspires. He WAS elected
treasurer of Elm township once, and
those who served with him declare
that he was unable 10 master the du
ties Of that simple office. Heis vacil-
latipg and unstable in character and
he is declared by men who have
known him many years to be erratic
aud unbalanced in his judgement, and
almost wholly lacking in that most
essential quality. common sense. These
are all faults for which Mr.. Manley is
probably not 10 blame, since they ave
natural and not acquired, and we
mention them therefore with the more
regret; But they are faults which
would make it little less than a calani-
ity to have him elected tn the Office of
Probate Judge. and we therefore con-
slider it public duty 10 make them
known i'm order that the voters may
not do through ignorance what they
wolld very much regret. This is a
matter which il far above party poll
ties, for the Office of Probate Judge is
one which touches the people in a
nearer and more sacred relation than
any other, and no man ought to allow
his party fealty to compel him to east
his vote for candidate who would
take into that office ignorance and
prejudice and bad Judgment. And
if any one thinks the REGISTER may
have stated the case too strongly, we
hope he will go TO the best men of Elm
township, regardless of politics, ana
inquire concerning these things.

John Mcdonald is one of the pion-
GERS of Allen county. He came here
before the war. He marched away
from here with the Old Ninth Kansas
to fight for the Union. And when the
war was over he came back again and
settled down to quiet, industrious,
public spirited citizenship. He has
never held nor sought office. He has
always done his part in all public ell
terpriscs. lie has managed his own
business with prudence and success.
His personal honesty has never been
questioned. The people may count
themselves fortunate to get the ser
vices of such a man i'm the office of
county commissioner, and he will
doubtless be elected by a great ma
jority.

The morning call., 1894-01-28

After much search by CALL reporter,
the old man and his family were found in
a small tenemeGt-house at 1922 Vail ejo
street, and the way he passes his days is
pathetic and remarkable.
For him the events of the world are only
vague dreams, and his reality is made up
of memories. He does not know his real
condition, and, indeed. anybody who
knew Emil Marriott few years ago would
wonder If be were the man.
His home is a most humble one, shared
by his daughter and grandchildren. while
his affectionate aud faithful wife does her
best to provide for the little family by dis
posing of some of the pictures her hus ba nd
painted at different times in his life. This
is most difficult task for the devoted
woman, as she speaks English poorly and
has very limited knowledge IF bush
ness.
What she has been through in the last
few years has caused almost as great suf-
fering as her husbands affilction, which
was so painful as to be described only by
the word agony.
Mrs. Marriott describes her trials wildly,
occasionally showing her emotion by
slight tremcr of her lip.
She remembers the day when he came
home sick from Palo Alto, after finishing
the ceiling In the Stanford tomb. He did
not think that IL was more than a severe
cold, and the little pain in his eyes he set
down as trivial. But the doctors shook
their heads and said Mr.. Marriott was a very
sick man and might lose the use of his eyes
entirely.
Then came long period of nursing, as
the sick mans eyes were operated on daily
for months and needed constant attention.
But it was not so bad because there was
money on hand to buy him what he needed
aud his brain had not shown the least sign
of being affected.
At last the doctors announced that only
one eye could be saved. Even this was
good news and for short time Emil
Marriott occasionally appeared among his
friends and was able to paint few pic

some that he is going to do. Oh. no, he is
going to paint the grandest picture of his
life pretty soon.
Or his past work he always speaks of
certain picture, representing the sacrifice
of Druid priestess. He says he did his
best on that, but il is nothing to what he
is going 10 do. Such trees as he will
paint, and what life and motion he will put
into his horses!
And so il goes on day by day. AS his
power Of execution leaves him his enthuS-
astic love for art seems 10 increase. What
the end will be can only be cOnjectured.
Physicians hold out no hope for the return
of his powers.
Emil Marriott was born in Brittany in
1877 and studied art in the best schools to
be found in Paris as soon as he was old
enough. When the gold fever broke out
In California he MADE up his mind to
come here as soon as possible. He took a
sailing ship from st. Malo. near his home,
and arrived on this coast some time In 1850.
de stayed here few years. but as ;he
excitement cooled off he concluded to go
to Sonora, Mexico, where new diggings
were discovered. He remained in that
country, working at mining. for several
years. but never losing an opportunity TO
do something with his art. 1t was while
there that he acquired love for the coun-
try and people that he has since put on
canvas and made himself famous.
When the trouble with France came
Emil Marriott and his family had to flee for
their lives, and eventually arrived in San
francisco. where the best work OF his life
has been done.
Emf! Marriott was one of the first members
OF the Art Association, and during his
membership the most regular contributor
to the annual exhibitions.
Emile NarjOts pictures may have many
points which would be condemned by the
more modern painters. but it is certain no
man on the Pacific Coast has made a
stronger attempt to truthfuliy depict the
country life and habits of the people. With
strong instinct of the picturesque, when
combined with life and movement, he put
on canvas scenes OF an era that has passed
away and for the perpetnation of those
alone his pictures will have a value that
Will eDtltle him TO place in the front
rank among the early painters of Califor-
MIA.

ters, many of whom have made lasting
reputation. All were like MIN and painted
because they loved it. His father and
mother both painted. as did also his cousin
on his fathers side, who, when his cOun-
try needed him, took command of a man
of-war TO such good result that his name is
now famous in French history.
There are large number of pictures by
Emile Marriott in the stOrerOom of the Aid
Association that Mrs. Marriott is ma king an
effort to have exhibited and sold, so as to
provide comfort for the man who painted
them when he needs it so badly.

lures. But all the time he was growing
weaker and occasionally talked of strange
things to his wife. This went on until
about eighteen months ago, when he had
a peculiar spell Of sickness which the doc.
tors pronounced saftening of the brain.
From that day to this he has never been
like himself. He seems like being from
another world aud entirely obliviOus to
his surroundings.
During all this time he has not painted
single finished picture. but has made
countless sketches, which seem to him like
his best work. He became more and more
like child and gradually lost the power
to give any finish at all to his work.
At present Emil Marriott is very weak.
He can scarcely walk alone. but sill
thinks of his art. To him the humble
surroundings of his room disappear and
he has before him the scenes which he so
loved to paint In the days gone by. In

called picture. The sky is only few
daubs, and the horses are barely sug-

peculiar color rubbed on the canvas, and
yet to him it is picture that eclipses all

A PATHETIC CASE.
Emil Marriott as He Is
To-Day.
THINKS ONLY OF THE PAST.
Peculiar Plight of a WeIl-Known
Painter, Now Almost Forgotten
by His Friends.

What has become Of the painter, Emil
Marriott? is question people interested in
art have asked over and over again. Few
have received any answer, for not many
people know anything about tie man who
was one of the first artists to arrive in
California, except that he had disappeared
and his collection of pictures also.
All that is generally known about the
old mans latter years Is that when he was
decorating the Stanford tomb at Palo Alto
paint got into his eyes and produced sort
of blindness that was con tinually getting
worse. Pictures came from his brush at
long intervals and the story was discred-
tied, so that few people paid attention TO
the old painters movements.
Attention has lately been attracted to
him by a couple of pictures which lie sent
in for exhibition at the Midwinter Fair,
and people asked "Where is Emil Mar jot ?''
1t was not an easy matter to find him,
as be had moved from one part of San
francisco to another and left no address,
or. if he did, the people had forg it.
