LEGISLATION
is fairly piliHg up ahead, like the incvit-
able "breakers ahead" on u pcriIouS voy-
age. Let us hope that it may be wisely
disposed of.
SIR. White, chairman OF llousejudiciary
committee, is likely to prove useful
tul member, rs he is active and has the
ability necessary to- become the leader OF
numerous following An important
measure already through the lower House
is n memorial to Congress, asking tor SO,
600 for the benefit OF navigation on Chrha-
lis river. A bill is also partly through
prohibiting the sale OF intoxicating liquor
to lt-breed Indians. This, it is thought.
will tail, on account Of its supposed con-
tliCt with the Constitution.
Mrs. Packard is here, working asSidu-
ouSly to procure recognition ofthe postal
rights Of inmates Of insane asylums. She
will likely be successful.
A bill, introduced in the lower House.
provides liberal appropriation for the
Territorial University at Seattle, Oh the
free scholarship plan, and the general
basis Of the last one. Such legislation, aS
it proposes will enable the Board of Re
gents to build the school up to basis sec
ond to none on the coast. The institu-
tion has many warm friends among the
members of the legislature, and hence the
success ofthe bill is almost assured. A
joint memorial to Congress, for the re-
lief of Storrs and Others, TOR the reliet OF
Storrs and others, for removing obstruc-
tions from the Skagit river, will undoubt-
edly pass both Houses without opposition.
The House joint memorial, introduced by
Hon. II. Tucker, of jefferson county, for
the establishment of a land office at Port |
Townsend, passed the lower House unani- |
mOusly. aud is now running its course
through in the Council. The member |
from King county is making show OF
tCclity 10 his constituents by Offering All
amendment inserting Seattle instead of
Port Townsend. 1t will, however, pass
as originally introduced. The
GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
was delivered on Wednesday afternoon,
to the legislature assembled in joint con-
vention. In some respects it is the ablest
document otits kind ever issued by our
present chief executive. While the mes
sage of two years ago was a splendid ad-
yertising document TO send abroad, show
ming the resources and advantages of the
Territory in a most gratifying manner,
the present one is confined chiefly to |
matters requiring new or amend
atory legislation. Its opening par
agraphs are devoted to enumemting the
tie many reasons why we should, as
people, b. thankful. 1t says:
During the two years which have
elapsed since the adjournment of the last
legislative assembly. our Territory has
made rapid and gratifying progress in
wealth and population. General health !
has prevailed; the seasons have been pro-
pitious; our agricultural interests have
prospered; our fisheries have been pro-
ductiye our commerce has been enlarged !
and extended our manufacturing indus
