THE NEXT. The people of Washing
ton Territory have taken the initiatory
steps for applying for admission into the
Federal Union. AT the last election a
vote was taken upon calling Territorial
Convention and decided in the aftirma-
tive by a large majority. Washington
Territory has within its bounds the re
sources which will make her great
State, yet her population at the present
time is not sufficient to entitle her to ad-
mission. This fact has not been so much
OF bar in the past as it may be in the
future, for the people Of the larger States
are inclined to look with Jealousy upon
having small States come into the Senate
with equal representation with them

ANoTaER NEEDLE.-It appears there
were two Cleopatra's Needles at Alexan-
dria, Egypt, and the companion to the
obelisk now on the way TO England is
still standing at the former place. The
New York WOrtd makes the statement
son high authority" that the Khedive of
Egypt has expressed his willingness to
present the second needle to the city Of
New York, should it be requested, and
already movements have been inaugura-
ted to secure that ancient relic Of a civili-
zation that was in existence $500 years
ago. The English Company now eDgag-
cd in transporting the first needle to Eng
land offers to take down the second one,
transport it to New York and set it up in
place for the round sum of 100000. The
New York papers say there will be no
difficulty in raising the money by sub.
Scription, and therefore it is probable that
by the time Bertholdi's "Liberty Light
ing the World" sheds its rays over the
waters of New York harbor Cleopatra S
Needle will be floating along in its light
seeking final resting place among the
modern civilization Of the new world to
he perpetual reminder Of the greatness
of past ages ard of the rise and tall ol
nations. Sac. Bee.

him who could "smle and smile, and be

TIE Chinese of San Francisco have
asked that school, or class in some
public school be established to accom-
nodato their children. They say that
they pay taxes, and are as we'll entitled
to the benefits of the public schools as are
any other residents and Taxpayers
School taxes are about the only ones that
Chinese do pay anything like their due
proportion of. They, rs a class evado
taxation with the exception of the head
taxes the pol tax of each year is given
to the support of the public schools. The
friends of education claim that education
is one of the great Safeguards against
crime, and as the Chinese population of
the State furnishes the greatest per cent,
Of criminals, we are confronted with the
eyllogisn, would it not be for the best in
terests of society to accede to the Chinese
request.

HARRY MEIGGs, who held such a
prominent position in San Francisco cir
cles twenty odd years ago, and who left
that goody city without saying good bye
to his numerous creditors, died at Lima,
Peru, last month. lie was prominently
engaged in railroad enterprises in South
America, at one time possessed a great
dea! of money, sent back and settled some
of his debts. and there was quite talk
few years ago of passing u relieving act
by the Legislature that would enable him
to return to this State and reside, without
danger of being prosecuted criminally.
His malady Is said to have been softening

ORGANIZED. Congress met in extra
session Monday. Little has as yet been
done beyond affecting an organization.-
Speaker Randall was re-nominated and
re- elected. There is not much hope that
the business for which the extra session
was called will be got through with be-
fore the first Monday in December, at
which time the regular session commen-
ces. Several contested election cases will
take up a great deal oftime. The Fourth
District of this State is unrepresented,
objection being made to Mr.. Pacheco's
being sworn in. The fight against Pa
checo's admission is a Fictitious one.

LIKE OLD TIMEs.-From Dcadwood
City comes an item which reminds us OF
the early days Of this State. A party Of
men went out to look for new digglngs
under the guidance of a man who claim
co to haye found II place which prospect
ed thirty cents to the pan. But he could
not find the place, confessed to the fasi-
ty of his story and the irate miners hang
I'd bin 10 tree. They believed he had
led them there that post trader might
i,s benefited by their trade. In early
days here miners were very suspicious Of
anything told them by trader. They
thought he always gave a rosetinted des-
cripton Of the placers near him, in the
hope of inducing miners to settle there
and purchase their supplies from him.
1t would be just like party of angry
miners to string up man who deceived
them IN the manner mentioned.

dent Hayes sent to the Senate Wednes-
day the name of General Harlan Of
Kentucky, to be Associate Justice Of the
Supreme Court, and e. A. Merit TO be
Naval Officer at New York. This last
nomination indicates the Presidents de

THE st. Louis Gi0Je- Democrat has in
formation of man in the city of Tuica,
in Chile, who is 1876 years old. 1t may
not be generally known that there is II
native California woman residing at San
Gabriel, Los Angeles county, who, her
friends say, is l39, and such is the gener-
nj belief Of people in that neighborhood.

A BALTIMORE paper recently gave
description of tunnel in progress for the
water works Of that city, which, when
completed, will be something over six
miles in length, asserting claim that it
would be the longest tunnel in this coun-
try, and the longest in the world except
two, the Mount Gents ard st. Gothard
one about seven and the ther about
eight miles. In asserting this claim the
BALTIMORE paper seems never TO have
heard Of the great tunnel for draining the
Friebourg mines, which has been in pro
cess of construction since 1874, and which
Us we see by the Scientific american, has
Iccently been completed SO far that it is
now in use for the drainage of some OF
the mines. This tunnel is 3lK miles
long and measures 9.84 feet in height and
but little less in width. Compared with
this the Baltimore tunnel is baby affair.

fore he had made a confession which con-
vinced the Company's detectives they

WoRKINGMEN' PARTIEs.-In Ohio
the Workingmen's party is no doubt re
sponsibe IN measure for the Democrat
ic victory in that State. 1t is n singular
fact, bEt fact nevertheless, that SIDE or
CARNATIONS like the Workingmcn's party
inyariably draw more strength from the
Republican than from the Democratic
party. Such has shown itself to be the
case in all independent and other side or
CARNATIONS that have sprung up within
the last few years. 1t is the more sur
prising from the fuct that those who go
into these new PARTIES must know that
their organizations will be powerless TO
accomplish anything Of themselves, and
can only hope to compass the defeat of
one or the other OF the great parties
And in close State like Ohio has been
for u number Of years past, the party de-
feated is invariably the Republican,.
