not with the feeble-minded. The plan to introduce
the latter into association and daily contact with
young children in the day schools is more idotic
than any OF the proposed benehcaries OF the law.
Wise people have long known that it is not well to
have nervous, sickly, deforned or physically de-
ectve teacher for young children, because through
the influence OF suggestion, great harm is wrought
upon the systems of the pupils. This being
So how much greater harm must come OF mixing the
feeble minded, the sad victims OF prenatal blight, with
normal children!
For the feebe-minded there is institution at
Glen Ellen where the highest scientific care IS de-
voted to their Development and they should be sent
there at as early age possible, for If detective
brain cells be repaired the process must begin
early.
The bill is heartless job, devised to advance
some ones selfish interests under pretense OF phil
anthropc regard for the unfortunate. The amount
Of money it will take Of the treasury cannot be
fcretold No oversight is provided for the opera
tons under it, and it is open to frauds as was the

opportunity for his veto at once the untor-
t1nate and defend the taxpayers

A HOPELESS CASE.

THE report that a number of the so-called
County officials elected in this city at the last
election contemplate nauguratlng litigation by
which the question whether they have been chosen
under the county government act or under the new
charter may be decided by the Supreme Court brings
I'D a political subject of considerable interest. VI
course all these officials elected with the under
standing that they would serve one year, but, not
outstanding that fact it is not difficult to sympa-
thize with them in their effort to hold on for four
years An Office is precious thing, and to give 1t
ND is always heart-rending
But physical pain should not induce anybody to
undertake so hopeless lawsuit the the local
officials in question have under consideration. There
is 70 doubt whatever that the Freehoders who framed
the new charter possessed the power FIX the terms
of all municipal officers and employees In 1890 the
people adopted constitutional amendment declaring
among other things that it shall be competent IN all
charters framed under section OF article A1 OF the
organic law TO provide for the in which, the
times at which and the terms for which the sew
e-al county officers shall be elected appointed, for
their compensation and for the number OF deputies
that each shall have, and for the compensation pay
able to each OF such deputies
As If to dispense with all doubt as to the appllca-
ton OF this provision, the amendment speaks in
terms of city and county governments which shall
have been merged and consolidated into NUM-
cipal government" The only question remaining in
connection with the OF officials under the new
charter is whether the instrument went into effect in
time to cover the election OF last year, in other words
whether the county" officials elected in 1893 were
chosen under it or under the State law But this
not it seems to US enter into the controversy. The
grant of power quoted above in any event would
authorize the charer-nakers to shorten the terms OF
municipal officials, and it could not make any differ
ence to such officials when the new instruments went
into effect
Under the circumstances it would appear that the
less time our local government expends in endeavor-
ing to hold on the better. The Supreme Court can
not avoid deciding against the so-called county"
officials What these gentlemen should do is TO make
a good record and get ready for the fall campaign.

a RAID ON THE TREASURY.

THE bill before the Legislature to establish day
schools for deaf mutes has no excuse for being,
except to give somebody several somebodies
Job at the expense of the taxpayer. 1t proposes to
have the people pay the OF $3.50 per per
capita for the instruction in the public schools OF
deaf mutes between the ages OF and 81 years, and
adds also the feeble-minded juveniles OF imperfect
speech These two classes to be brought into the
day schools to associate with other pupils, and be
taught by the person who is able to round up five OF
them and take the $3.50 apiece which the State is to
pay.
The scheme is insufferable. The State has near
Berkeley old and perfectly equipped institution for
deaf mutes. They there taught by the most adj
vanced methods, so that they enter any walk or
calling that open the nondefective classes Sew
era have gone from that institution into the State
University so perfectly trained in lip reading that they
were under disadvantage in the class and lecture
rooms and laboratory, and graduated just the
If they were physically normal To that institution in
the future as in the past these juvenile deaf mutes
should go to be Systematically trained in lip reading
and articulation in which instruction it has long
ranked foremost in the world.
The utter disregard of the interests of the defective
