Still After the Legislature.
Intciiigeiic2r.


The last Legislature WIS none too
good, as its records ahundan:ly
prove, and the members from East
ern Washington were no firer o.
more clever men than those from
the Sound They went for their
little favors and rerquisities with
the utmost sansfioid. They rode
over the country and down to Veto
ria without paying a cent. They
voted themselves postage at the rate
of about five dollars per member,
when they knew they were violating
law of Congress by so doing. They
had the impudence even, after abus-
ing the editor of this paper in q
sculri'ous manner, to send two re-
quests 10 him for daily supplies Of
free papers one of these requests
coming through the medium Of Il
young lady clerk i'll the House, and
the other by personal application of
a correspondent of the Union itself
(who was a clerk i'll the Council, we
beEeve). We informed The latter
individual that the Legislators were
paid for their services all they were
worth, and that if they wanted any
thing in our line they could ray us
what they were worth, or do. with
out. Requests of this character.
coming from men who were Joing
all they could 10 iujure the printers
of the Territory, struck the writer as
rather cool, and he was not surprised
that the members chose to delegate
their making to clerks dependent
upon them. The publisher of one of
the Walla Walla papers (not the
Union, however, SO far forgot his
dignity as TO send to these be"gars a
bundle of his papers every day, and
we are assured that at the end of the
session hundreds of them were there
i'll a corner that had never been
opened, and that the publisher was
made the bait of ridicule for his lib
e,aIity and his efforts to please.
With such persons making our
laws it is not surprising that the
University belonging 10 the Territory
got 10 help, nor even money to keep
valuable property in repair that
must so into rapid decay without
neither is it surprising that they con-
template the substituting Of sectarian
schools; nor that they abolished the
immigration bureau, nor that they
passed the famous Sunday law, nor
that the Treasury was terribly de-
pleted during their session.
We hope the Territory will long
be spared the inhiction of another
such Legislature.

Arizona Farming.

How Gladstone Looks.

MT. Gladstone Is one of the cleverest, readiest takers l have ever heard. He sits in the front row of the members pews, on the left hand side, facing the Speaker, close by the end of the table, which stands in front of the white-wigged clerks. Perhaps l should have said he recllnes there, for he doesn't exactly sit. His head Is thrown back, and rests upon the upper edge of the pew-back; his hands are clasped in his lap, his legs are sprawled out in front, and he has the general appearance of a man sound asleep. But he isn't. Now and then the eye lids half open, and a shade Of expression crosses the wrinkled features, as the old man mentally makes a note for future use. When his opOnent has ceased speaking MT. Gladstone comes to his feet with surprising agility, and ad- yances a step or two to the end of the table. There is a little red box here containing bis documents, and he places the ends of his right hand fingers upon this box. He lifts bis chin rather above its normal height, like a man used to talking to gallery. and, as the words How freely from between his lips, he emphasizes them by prodding the box with the tips of his straightened fingers. As MT. Gladstone talks, he grows In silence and repose you see a thin and shriveled old man, with long, slender legs, swollen joints, a hooked nose, sunken eyes, sparsely clothed head, rather narrow through the temples, but broad and high over the ears, struggling white whisEers, which shamble down the sides of his face and under bis throat, and a general air of physical . decay that is not altogether reassUring. 1 But as his chin goes up, and his chest protrud5s, and the words begin tO roll ont with rapidity and resonance, as the !. eyes kindle and the smile of conscious power spreads over the old face. you begin to feel the reason of the Premier's ! grip upon the politics of Great Britain. He has the perfect confidence of the !. practical speaker. and that elOquence of l manner, no less than of words, which . proclaIms the orator. He is by all . means the most admirable talker 1 have heard in England. He uses no notes, and, as soon as he has finished what he has to say, he slouches back upon his seat, apparently in that state of com plete physical collapse which Charles Dickens ascribes to the old paralytic, who Is always throwing his pillow at some one, and immediately falling help less in his chair.-London Corr.

4 Telephone Romance.

When the history of the telephone is
 written 1t will be eullveued by many TO- mantle incidents. X young gentleman in this city Is in a good condition to
 furnish one of these. Hei euga ged iu an establishment where the telephone Is considerably used, and some time ago he became impressed with the converse ton of a person who informed him by the artiCulate wire that she was en- gagged as a clerk in a business house with which he had frequent occasion to communicate. The head of this may be called MT. Smith, chiefly be- cause that isn't his name. The young man became thoroughly euamored of the sweet voice, whose tones almost daily came to him, and after a time he begged and obtained an appointment for an interview. Then he put ou his purple and fine linen and went down to the store from which the agreement had come. \ small boy met him as he went in. "Is Mr. Smith in?" asked the young man-not because he wanted tO see Mr. Smith, but because he thought 1t best not to be too abrupt in his inquiries. No said the small boy: "but he'll be in in few minutes The accents of the small boy startled the young man; they were the same that had been almost daily waited to him along the wire. He immediately said that he would call again to see AIr Smith and withdrew in as good order as possible. But he felt that he had had a narrow escape.

The following is portion of the plat form adopted at the Republican State Convention in Portland, Maine, last Tuesday:
 First-That the right of every quali- fled voter to cast his ballot, and to have # honestly counted, is the fundamental prlnciples of a republican government, which must be maintained by law and impartially enforced. The majority thus determined must rule and the minority must submit.
 SecOnd-Free schools must be main tained and universal education secured as basis of national security and pros perlty.
 Thirl-American Industry and labor should be protected against the unjust competition of products of cheap foreign labor by a protective tarltf.
 Fourth-American shipping and ship building should be encouraged by a modification of our navigation laws, so as to discriminate in favor and not against our shipping interests, and by such other assistance as the Govern ment may properly render to this great national interest We protest against the persistent efforts of the friends of free trade. or nisnamed Revenue Re form to grant American registry to foreign built ships as certain to destroy our ship-building industry.
 Fifth-The only full legal tender money authorized by the Constitution to be coined or issued in time of peace is gold and silver. The dollar of one metal should be coined so as to possess the same intrinsic value as the dollar of the other. and all paper currency should be redeemable in one or the other. We deprecate the effort made to overthrow the present banking system of the nation, securing as 1t dOf s, the people currency convenient, uniform, elastic Tn volume, of equal value in all States, and absolutely safe from loss in the hands of the holders.
 SSixth-The rapid payment of our war debt, while the debts of other nations are increasing, affords conclusive proof Uf the wisdom of our financial measures, and calls for a continuance of the same policy until every dollar of this debt shall be paid.
 Seventh-We are unalterably op- posed to the abolition or reduction of the internal revenue tax on liquors, and demand that all possible reduction of taxation shall be made upon the necessaries and not upon the luxurles Of life.
 The resolution then proceeded to de- clare in favor of economy in public ex- pendItures, of liberal pensions to sol diers and sailors of the late war, refer with pride to the record of the Repub- lican party on the prohibition of the liquor traffic, which has been practically annihilated in a large portion of the State: and recommend the submission to the people of Constitutional prohi- bitory amendment
 IL refers in unmistakable terms to other local matters and then follow their thanks to the Republican majority in Congress for their action on the tissue ballot frauds; its opposition to polygsmy; its refusal to reduce the taxoa whisky;its distribution of the Geneva award to the actual losers; its measures looking to reduction of taxation and its revising of the tariff The resolutions also recognize the calamity of the death of President Garfield. and tender President Arthur assurances of confidence.

IL Is from this class of Orientals that the mutes are selected. Mutes are still em- plOyed by the Sultan in hIs palaces as guards and attendants, and especially are their negative services availed of at the Porte, where all official business and diplomatic interviews are carried on. The mutes i've are not talking of the Arabian Nights and their fanciful stories, but 1T sober earnest as to what Is happening at the present hour are selected from the eunuchs, when very young have their tongues cut out, and every means devised to keep them ID a state of ignorance as they are not even taught to read and write.
