A Sapient Conclusion.

A communication in the Oympian
signed by w. L. Sapp, says that lie
can see no necessity for Republicans
to pledge themselves to vote for no
candidate from Governor 10 constable
who does not favor constitutional
amendment to cut down salaries. He
bases his opposition upon the length
of time it would take to scale down
salaries by this means, and of the fact
that there are some salaries that can
be reached without it.
The State Constitution was framed
by convention composed of - menu
bers, 43 OF whom were Republicans.
After providing for salaries that were
considered high, even in those piping
times of prosperity, the convention
closes the door to a reduction, although
it is thrown wide open for an increase
within certain limits. The county
officers salaries do not require a con-
stitutional amendment for their reg
ulation," but Mr.. Sapp surely knows
that the demand for retrenchment
was quite as imperative in the cam
paign of 1894, and the candidates
made ample promises, in a general
way, to institute reform. How were
these promises fulfilled? The odious
salary system carefully planned to
farm out as many positions as possible
TO the faithful" was allowed to re-.
main, and we found Mr.. Scobey oppos-
ing the submission to the people OF a
constitutional amendment, whereby
they might determine for themselves
whether they were willing to continue
paying the executive and Supreme
Court Judges $4,000 per annum, and
other officers in proportion, or less.
Would Mr.. Sapp, if a farmer, refrain
from planting the seed because it re-
quires time to mature crop? Would
he sit down and starve before he would
labor for the money to pay for meal?
1t requires time to perfect all good
works, and he is indeed a veritable
saphead who would fold his hands and
wait for chance to supply his wants.

A Move in the Right Direction.

A petition. or pledge, is being very
generally signed by the rank and file
of the Republican party, requiring
specific pledges of candidates for re.
trenchment. The necessity for such
pledge is shown by the fact that il
meets with general and hearty ap-
prevail. 1t is not proposed to allow
professional politicians, hereafter, to
dodge the issue, and secure their cleo
ton to the legislature by professions
of economy and then oppose on the
floors OF the assembly any effort, by
constitutional amendment or State
law, to deprive the chosen few of their
rich pickings from the stall. 1t will
be remembered that Republican Rep
resen,ative from this county in his OPP
position to constitutional amend
ment for reduction of the salaries of
State officers declared that his own
services were worth eight dollars per
day, although that is about four or five
times as much as he has ever been
able to make from his private business.
The petition reads:
The undersigned Republicans and vot-
ers OF Thurston county, Washington, de-
mand the nomination of men for each
and every office from Constable to Gov
ernor who unqualifiedly favor amend
ments to the State Constitution to the
end that the expenses of the State Gov
eminent may be greatly reduced, and
who favor the running of the county Off
ces for an amount not exceeding the
present salaries allowed the chief Off
GERS; and that reduction in per diem of
County Commissioners be made so that
the same shall not exceed three dollars
per day and that other public expenses
be scaled in like manner.

The Originator of Kindergarten.

1t may be interesting to many OF
our readers to know something of the
ORR vi kindergarten school, in this
country, for while that event is quite
modern very few seem to know much
about it. Emma Marwedel, a German
woman, was the first to transplant the
system To this side nf the Atlantic,
and she was one OF the originatOrs OF
the kindergarten schools in her native
land. Miss Eliza 2. Peabody, whose
liiehistory is known wherever the his.
tory OF education extends, became in.
terested quarter OF century ago in
the system, and crossed the water
early in the 7O's to investigate it. She
met Miss Marwedel and induced her
to come TO this country and superin-
tend the inauguration Of kindergarten
work. The first OF these schools ON
this continent was established soon
afterwards in the city OF Washington,
the national capital. 1t was arranged
that q portion OF the Peabody educa-
tional fund should be set aside for
Miss NJ. to enable her to 60 on with
her life mission-the propagation of
kindergarten work. 1t was first ar
ranged for her to go through the
Southern States, and train teachers
for the work and establishing kinder
gartens to keep the system alive and
develop its growth. This plan, for
some cause, was not carried out, but
she came to this coast, after short
stops in Chicago and the larger cities
on her trip.
As result of her labors, the kinder.
garten system has extended all over
California, and is the most popular
system for rudimentary instruction
that has ever been tried.
Miss Marwedel died in Oakland at
the age of 81. She was the author of
several works on domestic matters.
Chief of them is " Conscious Mother
hood" She was engaged on revi.
sion of this book when she was taken
ill, and it was to incessant labor
that her physicians attribute the inn
mediate cause of her death. She was
likewise the author of some maps and
charts that were aids to kindergarten
work, and the originator OF what is
known as the Circular Drawing Sys-
tem."
The body Of Miss Marwedel was in
tered at her death in November, 1898,
in a small plot OF ground in Mountain
View Cemetery. A few days ago, some
of her former pupils and Others organ
lied an association to show proper re-
spect to the memory of one whose
whole life was bestowed upon educa.
tional work. This committee has
bought commodious lot in the same
cemetery, and have invested a sum
sufficient to provide for perpetual care
Of the same. They are now raising
money for monument, which will be
Of adequate proportions to properly
commemorate her services to human
ity.

Monday, in the brush on the bluff
near the Exhibition grounds, within a
short distance from where thousan
OF searchers had been passing the past
month. No doubt remains but that
death resulted from her own hands,
for within her grasp was found the re-
volver that she had purchased of a
gunsmith in Tacoma, the day before
she was missed. Three chambers OF
the weapon had been fired and a wound
from a pistol ball was found near the
breast, the missile passing in the re-
gion OF the heart. A large reward had
been offered for the discovery of the
missing woman, and the search had
been so thorough that it was thought
she had made her way to some other
State, and that she might still be in
the land Of the living. Mr.. Cody, her
husband, was in San Francisco when
the body was found, on his way to
Southern California, with his eldest
son, lad of seven years, to place him
in charge OF his parents at Pasadena.
Mrs. Cody left two other younger
children who are likewise with their
grandparents in Pasadena.

A DEMOCRATIC rainbow is in sight
between the split of the silver and
anti-silver Republicans, which has had
an excellent effect upon the members
OF the Democratic party in Congress.
1t has been known all along that this
split would have to come, but it was
not generally expected until the St.
Louis convention. 1t has come now
and the words used by Senators Teller
and Carter on the silver side and by
Senators Sherman, Morrill,, Platt and
Aldrich on the anti-silver side were OF

the other side makes an abject surren-
der, which is not likely.

Port Townsend, Magnolia Bluff and

battery post at old Port Townsend,
and to that end the War Department

comes second on the list for favorable
