State of Washington.

the people OF Washington territory a
the late election in favor of a stat,
government, was mainly due to the ef
forts of politicians seeking place. Thi:
is strange allegation coming from tho
source it does. and made in view of the
fact that with one or two exception:
the newspapers of that territory, as vel
as most of the political speakers in that
canvass, remained silent upon the ques.
ton of state government! during the en-.
tire canvass and we question whether
any measure ever suggested to the peo-
pie Of Washington, had less discussion
upon it's merits and dement's, and there
fore the palmer inference is that the
majority of the people voted for the
measure from their deliberate convic-
tons upon the wisdom of the measure,
almost wholly uninhuenced by the oxer-
tions of politicians. The ". W. Union
takes up the matter and predicts that
notwithstanding Oregon was admitted
with only $4,000 iAhabitan,s into the
union of states, and Nevada with less
than 10000; yet hereafter no territory
will come in as a state unless she has
the requisite population to entitle them
to a representative in Congress, and
that none ought to be admitted without
that population, and therefore suggests
that the coming Legislature of Wash
ington fix the date Of holding conven-
ton for framing Il constitution so far in
the future as to ensurey the boundaries
Of the territory to possess the full requi.
site of population. To us it seems no
more cogent reasons existed for the ad-
mission of either Oregon or Nevada as
states of the union, than now exist in
favor Of admitting Washington as a
state with her $4,000 population. The
people of either one of those states
were in no greater need Of influence and
votes in Congress to procure aid in the
development of their natural resources,
than is Washington at the present
day, and certainly neither one of those
states ever possessed better natural re.
sources requiring developement thar
does Washington. But these states are
now in the union with their represen-
tative in Congress, and are in condition
to shape their own destiny. Why now
will they turn round and deny to
Washington similar advantages? 1t
may be that the Oregonian may think
that by keeping Washington out Of the
union the Oregon delegation in Con.
gress can control legislation for Wash.
ington to better suit tie people of Ore.
gon, and induce Congress to deal to
washington with soaring hand,
while Oregon herself receives the
lions shares. Has not the legislation
OF the past few years shown conclusive.
~ this advantage of Oregon over
Washington I? We think it has, and
We further think that every true
Washingtonian has felt the force of
this advantage. Hence the vote for
a state government. But why in all
reason does our neighbor of the Union
echo the sentiment of the Oreoonian
upon this question, if he be working
for the true Interests of Washington |
It = not forgotten that he has been !

The Nez Perez War.

FORT ELLIS, Sept. IL The following is

is, but it is considerable. Several killed
and good many wounded, nothing to eat

The Gibbons Fight.
The official report to Gen. Sheridan
Of the battle at Big Hole with the Nez
Perces, shows the killing of 20 aud
wounding of 40 Of Gibbons command,
also The finding of 80 dead bodies of
Indians on the field of battle. The
spondeuce of Sutherland of the
L. Standard, mentions the escape of
one Irwin from the hosti,es who re.
ports that they had ZIG fighting bucks,
besides squaws and boys who are armed.
That Wallowa Joseph is supplanted in
command by Poker Joe, aud made to
do drudgery about camp like squaw.
Poker Joe is called BY some Joe Hale,
and is acquainted with several white
citizens Of Montana, aud claims to own
house and !os at Virginia City and
sent word to one Kennedy to look after
his property, that the Indians were
we u supplied with provisions, robes
and blankets, skins and ammunition,
that they have, as prisoner, an old
California miner named John Shively.

ly watched. That Poker Joe had sent
messengers to the Crows to induce them
to join with him in the war, and if
they should do so he expected to be
able to clean out the troops and get
heaps of things, and that it was due to
the humanity of Poker Joe that the
Cowan captives taken in the National
Park were permitted to escape.

II has been suggested that one of the
useless emigrant houses near the raAroad
shops be moved to some accessible point
near the business centsr and converted
into frse lodging house for impecunious
Black Killers. The proposition is an e1-
ceilent one. Our city Is fast filing up
with class Of men who are masking an
effort to reach the Hills with an insult
cient supply of money TO meetss1penses.
Soon they viii be occupying by night out
houses, barns and vacant buildings and,
aside from the increased danger of con
hagrstion their presence brings, they
are liable to become nuisance of no
small magnitude. Looking at the projec.
from another standpoin.it will strike the
observer as creditable act of liberality
on the part of the people of Yankton.

Fashion kills more women than toll
and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a
greater transgression of the laws of
physical and mental constitution-than
poverty and neglect. The slave woman
at her task will live and grow old. and
will see two or three generations OF her
mistress pass away. The washerwoman,
with scarce a ray of hope to cheer her in
the toll. will live to see her fashionable
sisters die all around her. The kitchen
maid is hearty and strong when her mis-
tress has to be nursed like sick baby.
1t is sad truth that the fashion PAM
pered women are almost worthless for
all the ends OF human life. They have
but little force of character. They have
less power of moral will, and we might
say quite as little Of physical energy.
They live for no great purpose in life /;
they accomplish no worthy ends. They
are only doll-forms in the hands of mil
liners and servants, to be dressed and
fed to order. They help nobody and
they save nobody. They write DO books.
they set no rich example of virtue and
of womanly life. II they rear children,
servants aud nurses do all save to con-
ceivs and give them birth. And when
reared, what are they? What do they
amount TO but weak scions OF the old
stock? Who ever heard of fashionable
woman's child exhibiting any virtue or
power Of mind for which he became emf.
nent? Read the biographies Of our great
and good men and women. Not one oi
them had fashionable mother. They
nearly all had sprung up from strong
minded women, who had as little to Dc
with fashion as the changing Clouds
Mrs. Brown.
