The Republicans should quit talking
about putting state officials on salary
but get in and do it, 1t was in the pro.
gram in 1894, and the platform went
so far as to say only the constitutional
salary should be paid. But all joking
aside, don't the business interests OF
the state requi,e a little more earnest
attention at the hands of the dominants
II they would stay predominant? Think
ing Republicans should scratch their
heads or scratch their tickets.
Not so much is to be expected of the
party in Oregon, but even the
Democratic party has record on this
question.
As the party Of the constitution it has
talked about constitutional salaries.
But it is doubtful if the salaries put into
the constitution 40 years ago would be

not be in favor Of any but fair and just,

RECORD OF THE PARTIES ON THE
SALARY QUESTION.


1t is well-known that politicians i
Oregon pay little attention to politica
platforms but as a means of fooling tn
voter or easing his conscience.
But both parties have record on thi
question Of putting state officers on
salary and abolishing fees and per.
quisites.
In the campaign of 1894 the Republi
can party made proiuse promises to put
all these matters in the right shape and
got big majority and then forgot all
about Il.
Below are a number OF quotations
showing how much in earnest the Re.
publicanG we're to get next to the voters
on this issue in 1894, when they we're
alarmed about losing the state.
For the next two campaigns the ques-
tion Of the national issue on finance and
getting that settled right was uppermost
and state issues dwindled into insignif-
canoe.
The question Of salaries was scarcely
mentioned in the intervening eight years.
But now that the money question has
been permanently disposed of and no ma.
tional campaign on at our coming state
election, the time would seem favorable
to take up this matter and settle it right.
The attention Of Republicans is invited
to what they said was right in 1894.
In the meantime the district attorneys,
the clerk Of the supreme court, and
county officials have been put on salary.

THOSE PATRIOTIC RESOLUTIONS

Salem Grange has done the right thing
in adopting patriotic resolutions on the
event Of the tragij assassination Of Presi
J dent Mckinley
/ Those were the resolutions brought in
by Messrs Boise and Wagner.
They announce the true American
principle that he was the houored head
Of great nation, and that his murder
lowered our government in the eyes Of
the world.
The grange also fatty declares that
under no circumstances does it sym
pathise with violence and murder. No
one doubted the position of the grange
on this important matter, but now IL
is declared.
There is no field for the organization
in this country of any public sentiment
of sympathy with, or for anarchy, not
even of the philosophic persuasion.
And every citizen who holds this SEN
timent is not obliged to be able to frame
a law to suppress anarchists.
The sentiments of patriotism tn. t
dwell in the hearts of the people are the
strongest shield of the national yovern-
ment.
The JOURNAL has been asked by some,
what law it would propose to crush An
archy.
1t is not a believer in legislation to
crush anyone for hold ng any idea.
Such laws have always resulted in
tyranny and destruction of govern
ments.
Aboutall this country can do to put an
end to Anarchy is to rigidly inspect inn
migrants from countries that produce
Anarchists by just such restrictive lave,
and keep those with poisoned minds
rom coming here as far as possible.
The laws and free institutions of this
country have yet to produce the irst
Anarchist. They have all been imported
hus far.
Give us a good quarantine against
importing them and trust the free
ir Of American liberty to eradicate the
est.
But the grange deserves pubic thanks
Or its contribution toward a sound
ublic sentiment, in passing the reso-
ltions published in Mondays JOURNAL. |

THE HUMAN HEART.
In Olden Times 1t Was a COmmo
Thing to Dispose of 1t
by Will.

It was common thing in olden days
for testator to dispose of his heart
by will. Edwin I. left directions for
the burial of his heart in the Holy
Land; the famous earl of Millent and
Leicester, who flourished in the early
part of the twelfth century, be-
aueathed his heart to hospital at
Brockley, where he desired it to be
preserved in salt; sister-in-law Of
Henry I'LL, who died at Berkhamp-
stead in 1899, ordered her heart to be
sent in silver cup to the abbot Of
Tewkesbury, who was enjoined to
bury it before the high altar. In mod
ern times such testamentary direc-
tions have been extremely rare. The
late marquis OF Butte, whose relatives
have gone to Palestine to fulfill his de.
sire for the interment OF his heart
on the Mount of Olives, is the only
testator in recent years who has sx-
pressed such a wish. A gentleman Of
the name of Whitehead, who died to-
ward the close of the last century. be-
queathed his heart to Lord LIE Despen-
Ger, "to be deposited in his mausoleum
at West Wycombe," and his strange be-
quest was carried out with much So
lemnity.

A PRINCESS OF HER PEOPLE.
The Philadelphia Jewess Who Was
the Original of ScOtt's
HRebecca,"

No other Jewish woman, perhaps,
has been more admired by both Jew
and Gentle than Rebecca Gratz, OF
Philadelphia, in the drawing-room, the
synagogue and in the humble homes
to which she ministered. 1t was her
unfailing habit to begin each morn
ing with prayer of thanks for pro-
lection during the night, and to re-
view the day in her evening orison.
Among the women of the synagogue,
in which she would not tolerate the
least departure from the law and pre-
cepts, her Judgment was regarded by
the faithful as hardly short of inspira-
ton. In her philanthropy and in her
pursuit of educational improvement
Rebecca Gratz knew no creed. She
helped to found an asylum for or
phans in which she served with Chris
tian colleagues. The first Hebrew Sa b.
bath school in America, of which she
was long the head, owed it's origin to
her, and into sewing society, into a
system for distributing fuel to the
poor and into countless little tasks OF
charity, she was foremost in gathering
the energies of Jewish women. Thus
it was that in the streets of Philadel-
phia it came to be the habit to point her
out as "the good Jewess" not less
often than "the beautiful Jewess." It
was Rebecca Gratz who was the orig
inal of the Rebecca in "Ivanhoe," the
character being drawn from the word
picture that Washington Irving had
painted of the Philadelphia Jewess to
