Saturdays evening New Orleans
Picayune says:
The Associated Press kilograms re-
port that j. Madison Wells has arrived
at Washington, and the Press agent,
in his peculiar eplgrammatic style, au-
nounces that the distinguished refu-
gee demand protection at home OF
provision abroad" Since the great
departed appears indisposed to avail
himself of the provision prepared for
him at home, perhaps q substitute
abroad might be pleasing to him; but
it does not appear that we have con-
ventions or treaties with any foreign
countries allowing US tue use of their
jails. We suspect that our fugitive
will, after all, have to come back to
New Orleans, md take his chance for a
suitable provision, at the hands of a
jury of the Superior Criminal Court.
He will probably offer some objection
to this method of disposing of his pre-
tensions, and may threaten to speak
"some certain TRUTHS" unless the pro-
lection which he demands is extended
to him. But he will have to come, for
all that, whenever demand for him is
made for him on the authorities of the
District of Columbia. We presume
that this demand will be made with
reasonable celebrity, and we may,
therefore, expect soon to welcome
back our Ex-Governor to the hospital
tiles which he is 30 anxious to decline.

That Prosecuting Attorney Bill.


EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
Permit me through tbs columns Of
your paper to refute a charge made
against Hon. y. II. Bloomfield. It is
asserted that he lobbied the bill through
the last Legislature increasing the
salary of Prosecuting Attorney. The
assertion is not true Let one who
was there tell your readers the 11cts in
regard to that bill They are in brief
as follows.
The bill was drawn by VIM. II.
White, Esq, Prosecuting Attorney in
the Sd Judicial District, and intro
duced in the Council by Hon c. II.
Hanford of Seattle, at which time Mr..
Bloomfield Wa in san Francisco or
about leaving there on his way home.
The bill passed the Council and was
in the House and ready TO pass when
Mr. +. arrived in Olympia To my
knowledge he had nothing whatever to
do with the passage O: the BILL and at
that time told me he did not approve it,
Now, one word further in regard 10
this much abused act Of a much abused
Legislature. I do not hesitate to say
to you and to my constituents that IN
my opinion the salary Of Prosecuting
Attorney was too small under the Old
law. l think the new law is imper.

two notifications would be very good.

to the neglect Of his private practice
for less sum than fifteen hundred dol

Under this head the Olympia Staad-
ord writes sentiments 50 nearly our
own that we copy the article entire,
with the additional statement that
the most reliable fruit trees and shrub
berry to be found on the coast are
grown right here in Vancouver, and
no man need Of necessity go out
Of the Territory for anything in the
line:
Why will the people of our Terri
tory listen to pretended agents Of
Eastern nurseries and gardens and
pay them high prices for supposed
rare specimens Of fruit-rees and or
namental shrubs, only to be disap-
pointed and cheated out of their
money, when we have extensive nur-
series at home, owned and conducted
by well-known and responsible men?
If our people were living somewhere
without the borders of civilization,
isolated from the great conveniences
and luxuries of the world, there might
be some palhating excuse for sending
abroad to get the plants and seeds to
stock their soil. But no conditions
exist to render such a thing necessary.

Nursery declares, that vegetable

pie of Victoria out Of several thousand
dollars, while the people of the lower

PLAIN IS CAN BE.

1t is as plain as the nose en- q
mans face that if we want branch
rail road to Millheim we must beStir
ourselves for it. We can talk the
matter over for tlra hundredth time;
we can enlarge and grow eloquent
upon the advantages 1T would give
us dS trade centre-and that is
certainly pleasing theme to dwell
upOn--but all this will lead to no
practical result, unless we are will
ing to come down squarely and sub
scribe. There is a disposition by
some to expect too much from the
business men of the town. This is
all wrong N an enterprise that so
deeply concerns all property holders.
The business men should, and we are
confident will, do their duty fully,
but they can Irot pull the matter
through alone. Many of them are
in but moderate circumstances and
have heavy burdens to bear, yet will
they do all they can--lll that can
reasonably be expected of them.i
Nor can Millheim and it's vicinity
alone raise means enough to insure
the success of this road, even if all
classes here do their utmost. 1t is
hoped that our friends in Brush Val
ley will largely aid us in the work,
and that Aaronsburg and portion
Of Haines township will also give us
a fair lift. If all who expect to be
benefited by the building of this
branch can be made to feel person
al interest in the matter if the sew
eral localities in Penns and Brush
Valleys that ought to help will do
their duty but half, the branch will
be built and in running order in less
than year but it might AS well be
understood first as last, that Mill
helm alone can not;buildsthe road.
