REMEDY FOR The EVIL
by electing that no law shall Contain more than
one subject, which shall be plainly expressed in
its title. The constitutions of more than half
the States contain substantially this provision.
The public welfare will be promoted in many
ways by a return to the early practice of the
government and to the true principle of legis-
latiou, which requires taat every measure shall
stand or fall according to its own merits. If
it were understood that to attach to an appro-
priation bill measure irrelevant to the general
object of the bill would imperil and probably
prevent its final passage and approval, an
INVALUABLE REFORM
in the parliamentary practice of Congress
would be accomplished. The best Justification
that has been offered for attaching irrelevant
riders to appropriation bills, is that it is done
for convenience sake, to facilitate the passage
of measures which are deemed expedient by all
branches of the government which participate
in legislation. It cannot be claimed that there
is any such reason for attaching this amend
ment of election laws to army appropriation
bills. The history of the measure contradicts
this assumption. A majority of the House of
Representatives in the last Congress was n ia
vor of the sixth section to this bill, It was
known that q majority of the Senate was OPP
posed to it, and that as separate measure it
could not be adopted. TWAS attached to the
army appropriation bill to
COMPEL. THE SENATE
to assent to it 1t was plainly announced to
the Senate the army bill would not be allowed
to pass unless the proposed amendments to the
election laws wete adopted with it. The Senate
refused to assent to the bill on account of this
irrelevant section. Congress thereupon adj
journed without passing the appropriation
bill for the army, and the present extra session
of the Forty Congress became necessary
to furnish the means TO carry on the govern
ment. The ground upon which the action of the
House of Representatives is defended has been
distinctly stated by many of its advo-
Gates. A week before the close
of the last session of Congress the doctrine in
question was stated by one of its ablest de-
Tenders az follows; ut is our duty to repeal

OUR INDIANS.

During the past few years numbers
of Indians in this territory have APP
piled for papers Of citizenship
Many Of them have been taken
the formula of renouncing all allie.
glance to any foreign prince or po'
tentate, and especially to tyhes
"Dick," or some other coppsr.col'
ored dignitary; but it seems at last
to have been discovered that all this
is out of order and illegal, that the
Indian need not become naturalized
because he is already an American
born citizen, &c. The trouble was
that while most every one knew that
SOMETHING was necessary to make
the red man emphatically a "Boston"
in the eyes of the law, but very few
seemed to have a definite idea Of
just what that something was. Un.
der competent authority we are in
formed that it is simply necessary
for the citizen. seeking Indian to de.
clare his intentions by going before a
notary public and certifying under
oath that he has renounced and for.
ever abandoned all tribal relations,
annuities, sc. Afterwards by, OBJ
tanning a written certificate from the
agent in charge OF his tribe, to the
effect that he has abandoned his tri.
bal relations and is leading sober,
industrious and peaceable life, and
by securing also the affidavits OF two
respectable white residents that he
is bona fds settler and good citi.
zen, he may obtain citizens full pa
psrs. We will add that Maj. Van
Bokkelen, of this place, we are told,
will send to the department at Wash.
ington for full instructions, and will
prepare himself with proper blanks
to make specially Of attending to
this business.

ON our local page will be found
the report of President Anderson, of
the Territorial University, to the
board Of regents. The history and
growth Of this institution under Prof.
Andersop's management, is unpar.
alleled in the progress Of our terrific
rial institutions. 1t is not unlikely
that the next Territorial legislature
will be asked for a direct appropria.
tion to aid in placing the University
on first.class and permanent foot.
ing. 1t would seem to be unneces.
sary to argue the necessity OF ex.
tending territorial aid to building up
a territorial institution of so much
Importance. The educational ad-
vantages Of the country prove to be
as much the bulwark Of liberty and
good government in a territory as in
a state, and surely there will be no
candid objections to assisting in this
matter.

WE have an intimation, by priv.
ate letter, that Col. Larrabee is try.
ing to purchase the Seattle "Post"
for the purpose of changing it into
a democratic paper. From present
indications, it seems likely that the
next democratic race for the Dele.
gateship, in this territory, will wit.
ness another proper and legitimate
result of office seeking. Cation had
"worked up" his chances for some
time previous to securing the demo.
cratic nomination, and was politically
buried for his pains. Larrabse will
doubtless become a bed. d.fsllow for
his predecessor.

Telegraphic Summary.

LONDON, May ". A "Times"
correspondent today interviewed sew.
eral Norfolk, Lincolnshire and York.
shire land owners, who say farmers
are failing right and left, which fail
ures are only krown locally. Many
landlords after reducing rents cannot
get tenants. Several large owners
are about to take their farms and
work themselves. Several great
Scotch landlords have reduced rents
20 and 30per cent. Today the Prince
of Wales agent in the Duchy Of
Cornwall gave notice to tenants that
in consideration Of the present de-
pressed state Of agriculture remis-
sion of 20 per cent. from the rents
for period of three years would be
made. In no mans memory has ag-
riculture been so profitlsss. This is
owing in part to bad harvssts, but
chiefly by the vast food Importation
from America.

LEcruRE.-On the evenings of
Tuesday and "Wednesday, May 2'th
and 2Sth, Prof. b, p. Johnson, trav.
eller and talented lecturer, will en-
tertain the people Of Port Townsend
with highly interesting description
of "The Land of the Midnight Sum"
Among those who have spoken favor
ably of the efforts of this gentleman
are many of culture, sminence and
excellent judgment. We mention
but one, Prof. Condor, of the state
university Of Oregon, who says: "ln
language chaste and fluent, the lee.
turer carried US along with him from
scene to scene, so thoroughly alb.
sorbed, as to seem as if we ourselves
we're the real travellers. 1t was an
intellectual treat. The time passed
away far too soon with the delighted
audience" We learn that half Of
the net proceeds will be donated to
the NJ. Z. Church, of this place, and
that the speaking will take place in
the Good Templars' Hall. Tickets,

IT now turns out that Mr.. Cation
was editor of the Walla Walla
"Statesman," for one week only.
Mrs. Newell, owner of the concern,
has imported machine. writer for an
editor. His name is F. j. Parker,
and he can read Eastern political ex-
changes and then jerk out "stuffing"
for the paper, to order. Under the
present policy he is rampant and un-
reasonable enough to suit the most
unreasonable and fanatical in the
party.

MAJOR HALLER's court of inquiry,
at Washington, adjourned on Thurs
day last, and reported in favor of re-
instating their subject in the U. S.
Army. This will doubtless realize
the fond dream Of the Major and his
many friends during these long years
of patient waiting for justice. We
will rejoice with all good citizens
that a disgrace to the nation, the
army, and an injury to meritorious
soldier has besn-partially at least
wiped out.

CoERECTIoN.-ln recent issue OF
the Portland "Standard," long ar.
ticle appears in which the writer at
tacks a communication alleged to
have been received from Pilot Keen,
and published, about Alaska. 1t
might pass current but for the fact
Capt. Keen, who has just returned
from Alaska, authorises US to state
that he never wrote or sent com.
munication to the wonderfully errat-
ic journal above mentioned. He
further states that he is not aware Of
having made the acquaintance Of any
one connected with that institution.
We pause for an explanation.

causing her extensive ship-ownsrs to
