Coughing Congregation.

Clergymen who are annoyed by fits OF
coughing and nasal trumpetings, so com
mon in churches and meeting-hOuses at this
season of the year cannot do better than

taken, will be comparative quiet on the
succeeding Sabbath; for this potent remedy

the value of the preparation as a cure fol
bronchial affections, and can, therefore
conscientiously indorse it. Sold by

ORGANIZATION of the Legislature.

1.-The best laid plans of mice and
men, aft gang aslee,' says the old
Scotch proverb, and it finds illustra-
ton in the organization Of the pres
ent Assembly. As usual, our Re-
publican friends endeavored to per-
petuate the custom of minority rule,
by caucus nominations, and days in
advance of the date of meeting the
slate was made up, and in part pub
lshed in one of the Seattle papers.
But the managers little knew the in
dependent material they had to
mould to their wishes, and the result
shows that they have been disap-
pointed and inglo1iously defeated.
The managers, it seems, had con-
ceded the Presidency of the Council
to Mr.. S:ratton, for one of the pre-
siding officers should come from the
eastern portion of the Territory, and
those delegations really presented
Hobson's choice" there being no
Ferry clique or Kickers in that peace
full district. They did clairl, how
ever, the next office in rotation, and
selected MIR. Wier for the place, who
aside from his devotion to the ring,
might have made very acceptable
officer. Here the slate was broken
in the Council, and the remainder
of the officers were selected without
outside dictation.
In the House, Mr.. Smith of King
seemed to hold the trump cards
dealt out by the caucus. He was
positive of success. In fact, it had
been arranged months in advance,
and so certain were the managers that
the programme would be carried
into effect, that, it is said, the stand
ing committees were arranged, and
the subordinate places distributed
before the caucus met. The caucus
ratified the agreement only to break
it, and Mr.. Comegys, of Whitman,
although not an aspirant for the po-
sition, carried off the honors. Mr..
Rees of Walla Walla was the Demo
cratic nominee, and could have been
elected, on personal grounds, but
he magnanimously declined to accept
the aid of his political opponents,
when their cnoice was likely to fall
upon a man unpledged 10 the dictum
of party managers. Although it
may seem that the eastern division
of the Territory has secured more
than her proper share, this time. it
must be born in mind that she has
never hitherto asked or received q
due proportion of the "loaves and
fishes" The present selection, ap-
proved as It is by large majority
of the members, will doubtless dis
sipate any sectional jealousy that
may have existed, ana promote
more cordial feeling between the
thriving communities east and west.

A Fair Beginning.

Our Lawmakers, this session, are,
by common consent, pronounced as
promising class of men as ever
graced legislative halls. Ifphysiog-
nomy and brain indications warrant
ny,hing like favorable conclusions,
then have the people of the Territory
a just right to expect good results
from their deliberations. The great
needs of the Territory may be sum-
med up in few words, viz: More ef-
lection ways and means for the rapid
development of our vast and, we
may say, inexhaustible resources, a
proper recognition of our wants by
the General Government and an
adequate increase of abiding pcpula-
ton. These patent requirements of
our people are topics upon which
all the members of the present Legis-
lature can and should be agreed.
No political difference should be
allowed to disintegra!e them.
Members from the Eastern and the
Western sections of the Territory
cannot longer ignore the necessity of
a more direct and rapid commercial
highway between the grain fields of
Eastern Washington and the coal
beds and timber lands Of Puget
Sound. These two sections differ as
much in their staple productions as
in their physical makeup and to-
Biography, and hence the future State
of Washington con never manifest
the fullness of all its wonderful ex-
cellencies, until a great artery of
communication shall have been
opened within its own borders, be-
tween the Puget Sound basin on the
one hand and the ultramontane re-
gion on the other.
Our Eastern neighbors are begin.
ming see the folly and ultimate fnan-
cial ruin of allowing their golden
harvests to be diverted into the heart
of an adjoining State for the sole
purpose of bolstering up it's disease
stricken metropolis. We believe it is
the prevailing sentiment OF the people
of the Puget Sound country that
petty strifes as to the whereabouts
q tide-water terminus of O railroad
across the mountains be forever
hereafter ignored. Let US have a
railroad at all hazards, capable of
pouring rich harvests of the east into
the sea-going craft of the Sound.
Proper legislative enactment can
do wonders towards securing this
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1881-10-07
