The San Francisco Bulletin, OF June 20,
says: washington Territory is DESTROYS of
being admitted into the sisterhoOd of States.
SO far as area and resources are concerned
1t possesses the requisites for the recognition
of It's request The only thing lacking is
population There has been q large immigra-
tion into the Territory during the past two or
three years. 1t still falls short OF the 1914,
600, the number upon which representation
La the lower house of Congress Is based. The
people are, however, preparing for the future,
so as to be ready with a constitution when
the formal application for admission Is made.
The Territory already for outstrips Nevada
In population, and two or three years
at the most will find 1t with popu-
latlon considerably more than 100000. 1t
possesses all the elements for great
commonwealth, and Ia the course OF O few
years it will become one Of the most
prosperous divisions of the Pacific coast.
dt abounds In timber, coal, iron and other like
source of wealth. 1t has large area of tilla-
BILE land. Its rolling prairies at present afford
parturage for large herds Of stuck. There Is
more government land open to presumption
In Washington Territory than elsewhere on
the Pacific coast. 1t is, therefore, one of the
most inviting fields for immigration In the
Union. The last session of the Territorial
Legislature made provisions for calling a
Constitutional Convention. The election was
held @ few weeks ago, and although consider
able apathy was manifested by the people, the
delegates were elected. AS In Calf rnia on the
nineteenth instant b1e FARMERS dld not TURN out
and little over half the usual vote was pOlled.
The delegates then elected are now holding IL
convention and preparing constitution. Up
to Saturday last nothing had been done be-
yond O classification OF articles and the APP
pOintment OF committee to consider the
same. Two questions have, however, been
mooted which are certain to cause consider
able discussion. The first is emitting the
word male from the clause confirming the
franchise. The second is limiting the amount
of which DDi1,
The woman sutflagists are busy with petit
tons in support of the former brief dis
cussion is going ON in the newspapers over
the land problem. One member has pro-
missed to Introduce a clause containing the re-
strction, and two other delegates have
pledged themselves TO its support"

Beer-SuCkers at vienna.
baltimore American. !

Beer gardens and beer rooms are every
where In Vienna, and the drinking of beer
seems to be regarded as one of the necessaries
of life. It is drank freely at all the restau-
rants, and is brought as matter of course,
to every one as soon as they take seat at O
table. A man who would undertake to eat
without beer would be regarded as q curiosity,
AS soon as your glass Is empty it is refilled
as q matter of course. There Is, however no
treating, as it is called with us, IN Vienna II
two or three gentlemen come In together and
call for beer, each pays for what he drinks.
Ii one of them calls for q second glass, he
never thinks of asking his companions to
drink with him. Ii they want their glasses
refilled, they will call for 1t as he has done.
Water is undoubtedly very scarce commodity
In Vienna, cistern water being mostly used for
drinking purposes. There are very slow-run-
ming hydrants on the streets, and they are in
variably surrounded by girls and women
with buckets and tubs waiting their turn to
secure supply. There are also wagons with
hOgsheads that go around to sell water. 1t Is
said to be unwholesome, and, If drank con-
tinuously, will lead to chronic affections of
the bowels. 1t Is what Is called hard water,
but we have never found it unpaatable,
though O lump of ice Is great Improvement
to 1t in this weather. There are. however,
very few people in Vienna who drink water,
and many who never touch it.
Beer Is the dali v and hourly drink of almost
every one, old and young. It is part of their
daily food, just as coffee or tea is with us,
When families are dining at the restaurants,
the beer mug stands by the plate Of old and
young, male and female, and it Is even put to
the lips of infants. Vienna beer does not,
however, seem to have any Intoxicating effect,
and it never occasions a headache We have
seen and been in the company Of men who
will drink dozen large glasses Of an evening
without observing the slightest inebriating
effect. We doubt il they could drink as much
American beer with impunity.

In the United States Senate in January,
1877, John Sherman stood up In his seat and
paid glowing tribute to Eliza Pinkston as g.
''simpe-minded child of nature whose frank
artless manner carried conviction to the mimi
of every one who heard the story of her
wrongs" That sounds very pathetic in the
light of recent events.
