A meeting of the cilixt-ns of
Olynipia wm csllei! rwtutljr t con
sirier the proposition of erecting a
monument at llio Ut capita! iu
memory of the volunteers from
Wnshiugton, wholnve given up their
lives for their country n Cuba and
the rhilippines, says the Spokesman
Review. A coinmiuee was appointed
to take the matter ia charge and
circulars have been sent out asking
the people of the state to co operate
in the work of paying deserved
tribute to the fallen.
The people of Washington, it need
bardly bo said, will not hesitate to
do honor to the memory of the
heroic dead of the late war and sub
sequent insurrection, but it may be
faiily asked if a movement for the
erection of a soldiers' monument is
not at this time premature. Our
army is yet in the Ccld and fighting.
Casualties are occurring daily and
the end is cot yet in sight From
all accounts military operations of
considerable ia;iortance are still in
pros' eel and in them it is not unlike
ly the troops from Washington may
play a conspicuous part.
Until the troubles in the Philip
pines are settled, or at least until the
soldiers from this slato have been
returned home and mustered out, it
may be jutt as well to postpone the
performance of tribute paying which
a grateful people will be all too will
ing to participate in. When the
sword has been sheathed and the
time is opportune there will be a
noble response to any and all calls
for a lilting perpetuation of the story
of sacrifice by the sons of Washing
ton. A monument will, no doubt,
be put up, but as to what it sbaH be
and where it shall be and Low it shall
be erected arc matters which, per
haps, can be taken up more apprbprU
aicly and satisfactorily at a later day
when our volunteers have been re
leased from service by an apprecia
tive government and the list of
heroes, living and dead, has become
a part o' history
THE if ASH OF CUB ASS FHIESfrL Y
Passing cvciits show that the great
majority of the inhabitants of Cuba
are well-disposed toward the United
States. A tew ambitious politicians
are anxious to hurry our forces out
of the island in order to ry schemes
of their own, but the people in gen
eral ere not acknowledging their
leadership. This fact is apparent in
the acceptance by the enlisted men
of the money offered by the United
Stales. They refuse to listen to the
heroics of hothead officers who want
to use them for future political ends.
Common sense assures the Cubans
that the 3,000,000 Is tendered to
aid disbanding soldiers to make a
ne n siari in civil mo ana not as
a bribe, nor with any ulterior de
signs. IC.ich soldier can take his
share without loss of manly se'.f-
resptct or making any pledge of
future political action. He is paid
because it would be unfair to turn
him back to ordinary industries in a
penniless condition.
Some of the officers, however, take
a singularly wrongheaded view and
are eager, by what tbey say and
write, to breed mischief. Gen. Col
lazo publishes iu a Havana paper an
article in which be remarks that "the
offer of charity affront the dignity
of our people, and the gratuity of
3,000,000 insults them. The United
States government, if it intends to
free the island, should pay what is
due ;be army in the form of a loan
to Cuba, which Cubans would gladly
and easily repay. W do not want
gifts." It would be bard to condense
into the same apace more foolishness
and misrepresentation. The money
it not offered at alma. The Uuitcd
Male bat already freed Cuba. IU
greatest gift to Cuba it liberty. It
it one the Cuban wanted very much
and for which it implored the aid of
this country. No loan could be made
to Cuba at this time. It hat no
government except by our military
authorities, den. Collaio may have
a plan of his own for governing it,
but he will be allowed but one vote
when the lime comes to tlccido the
matter.
The action of the Republican rep
lesentatives of New Voik lu falling
into line with the majority of the
other Republican congressmen in
i.Upior. of Gen. Henderson removes
the last vestige of doubt of the nom
ination of the Iowan. Sherman, of
New York, was the earliest of all the
speakership aspirants to put himself
into the field. It was thought by bis
friends at the outset that he would
have a long lead in the speakership
caucus. The fact, however, that he
bad a rival from his own state in
Tiiyne, which was not suspected until
Sherman had been in tho field several
dtys, weakened his supporters, and
destroyed nil his chances to get
many votes, even in his own section,
if te should have renamed in the
field. His withdrawal, which has not
taken place, makes a clear field for
Henderson, lie will probably get
a unanimous vote. An houor of this
sort, at a first election, comes seldom
in the Uuitcd States. Reed, Crisp,
Carlisle, Randall and all the rcsl of
the speakers for many years past had,
at their first election, opposition in
the caucus of their party. The dis
tinction of a unanimous nomination
which Gen. Henderson is likely to
receive is rare enough to bo notablo
in American annals.
JS IT EXPEtlESTt
The anuual worry incident to the
demands of graduation from the
high school is taxing the energies
and straining the financial resources
of a score of families, more or less,
in this city at the present time, and
of a multitude throughout the
country. A bevy of young women
educated In the main without the
slightest reference to the reasonable
requirements cf their future lives,
daughters of work-a-day parents ho
are straining every nerve to bring
up their children intelligently and to
provide for their bodily comfort, aro
being bedecked for the graduating
occasion in a style tliat lavs heavy
tribute cpon the domestic purse, and
perhaps foredooms the rest of the
family from the father down to the
nursling (and certainly the self-sac
iiQcicg mother) to go shabbily clad
for half a year.
This is one of a cumber of ways
in which our grand system of com
mon school education bas grown into
a heavy tax upon its supposed or in
tended beneficiaries. It will be said,
of course, that judicious parents, who
cannot afford to spend from H'ih to
50 in this way, should be independ
ent enough to refuse to comply - with
the demand of custom and dress the
daughter for the occasion .Imply and
in accordance with tbeir means,
But this is shallow, being wholly at
variance with human nature. Talk
as we may about independence, the
fact remains that this principle is
not a ruling force in the domain of
fashion that, in fact, it bas seldom
been Introduced therein, and never
except to be quickly frowned down
aud out.
The very spirit that urget parents
who cannot afford to stent! the turn
of money required by ttie present
graduating custom to enter and keep
np with the grand educational pro-
session, often at the cost of the most
pitiful and pinching economy in the
essentials of life, is the basis of the
high school structure. The idea it to
give the children of the poor the "ad
vantages of a more or lest ornate
education, equal in all respectt to
those wbfeb the wealthy may buy for
tbeir children; to bridge, to to speak,
tbe channel between two distinct
ttatlont ia life and merge tbem into
one.
Having been encouraged to do
this, it it reasonable to expect par
entt to fail at the last moment to
meet tbe requirementt of tbe situa
tion? It it any wonder that it it
decided In family council that Mat-
tie, or Mamie, or Jennie, mutt bare
an overdrew of organdie and lace,
over a white tatin petticoat, though

but a "class plu" must bo bought?
Ibese are homely, commonplace
things, but they teprescut conditions
that are familiar lu myriads of beset,
straightened households today. The

adequate knowledge of "styles," to

pense, tt ono recently exprossed It,
of her own "blood and bones." (She
was not a high school graduate,
otherwise sho would bavo said at the
expense of her "vitality.") Anxious
fathers, chafing under the strain but
striving manfully to meet it; fagged
young women, approaching the oc
casion as one might approach a
dentist's chair and wishing it wcro
all over Mends, is it not truo that
W'o have encouraged a growth upon
our educational sys'.era that bears no
relation whatever to real education?
In completing a courso of study at
the public Schools, have we not
grown into a display that apes wealth
without compassing its advantages?
Since Individual parents are power
less in the matter from irasons that
are clearly patent, is it not time that
tho brakes were put upon the in a
chine by those in control, to the end
that its headlong course be arrested
and its movements be made to con

tbe public? In short, is it not lime

Some time ago penny savings
societies were organized in a number
of the cities of the country, the aim
of which was to cultivate the babit
of saving among young people, and
particulaily among school children
Tho scheme provided for stamp
cards, upon which anybody could be
given credit for every small coin
which he desired to save. When
sufficient number of these coins were
accumulated, an account could be
opened at a regular savings bank.
The schemo added a total ofllC,
588.70 to the savings bank deposits
of Chicago in tbe first four months
of tbe current year. Tho amount
was made up of exceedingly small
sums. The average was about eight
cents apiece fur the school children
of the city, though, of course, very
many of tho 200,000 pupils cf tho
schools made no contribution to the
fund. The manufacturers of chew
ing gum, the purveyors of penny
grab bugs and dealers in catch-penny
devices generally are among those
who are opposed to the scheme as
conducive to juvenile parsimony.

OUR OPERA HOUSE.
If Ay Thing- la Don l,t t Stand
Hear One.
Onr contemporary in an artlclo In yes
lerusv' euillon regarding the opera
houses in our citr, makes a supgeetioo
which Tu Ciikonici.i cannot conscien
tiously second.
ao noi ueny ins fact that we are
sadly in need of a theater, where the
acoustic properties arc gtrl and where
on can tit comfortably throughout a
performance without feeling every mo
ment that he Is about to lam a somer
sault and that furnish amnsement for
the entire audience. Neither do we
take issue with Bro. Don t hit regarding
the fact that It is more easy to suggest
than to put in practice that suggeetion.
It it easy enough for a community to
sit and complain as to the state of af
fair and bow tbey shall be remedied.
but to pot themselves ia Mr. Vogt's
place and do as tbey tell him to do is
another thing.
On the other hand, we believed that
the objectionable features of the build
ing cans many of the failures to secure
an audience. Unless theater goers feel
positive just what tort of a play they
are about to bear, tbey will consider
tome time before spending II to bear
only half of the performance and be un
comfortable tbe entire tvenlng.
At far at the proprietor it concerned.

any other eitisen would bare don. Ia.
deed, were every other eitisao a enter
prising at Mr. Vogt. what city we
would have. Hut, In the first place me
building was inUmlod for an armory,
and Is a boo.I uue, tut ro not believe
an aruiory aud opera house can ever go
itceeesfully hand In hand, la the first
phi, e, the floor of an oner bouse should
not bo It-yel; In the second, shifting
seats cn nrrer be mode comfortable.
And wo might goon, like tho rHeher,
until we reach lastly. At regards the
stage, judging from our own experience
and those of ottinrs more competent to
jiulg. it Is all tliat could be deelred,
roomy and well supplied with scenes.
The dressing rooms also are com
fortable, aud if receipts would admit of a
Jtnltor bo In employed who would clear,
them up and keep the stage and stairs
leading to these rooms in a n'spec'ahle
condition, not a fault could bo found.
The Times-Mountaineer mieli that
the talent of Tin D.tllee agree to give at
lent two entertainuieuts a year tor Ilia
benefit of the opera bonse to Improve
the building. While we feel poiltive,
having heard it dlfeussod, that ttie
home talent would not only give two,
butmauy entertainments for the pur
pose of securing a good open house, a
the same time we tlo not believe I hey
wonld be willing, nor would it .beta
peJienr, to expend money ou the build
ing now In use ns an armory, ami It I
cluimeJ that this is the only means l y
tahlch any money is made ou it. Th
Dalles ia not in mel of sui-h a la g
oner hnue: a smaller one wou'd I
much better adapted to its use. Wonld
It not be a better plan to leave it as It I
with the exception ol purchasing scenery
etc., from Mr. Vogt, and let tbe building
be nto I as an armory, tor ma mvetingo
aud the numberless things tor which
such a building Is required. Then if
lot could obtained and a neat, Inrx
pensive opera house built, wl:u perhaps
offices over it or store rooms beneath, It
tiieais to us it would be a much bctte
plan, a more paying one and at tha same
lime more satisfactory
Bhoul l Mr. Vogt care to consider sneli
a plan, we feel assured the home talent
would make some arrangement t J iitslet
In the scheme, either by forming a stock
company with him or on th. Ir own
hook. Just bow the plan could be
formulated might be considered Inter
should it be thought advisable.
