THE OPPOSITION.

Tho information from Washington
City is favorable to our admission.
The strongest obstacles are found in
the hostility to Brcntz' bill, exhibited
by the Puget Sound and Vancouver
papers, which is oil based on prejudice
or misrepresentation.
The opposition manifested by Dele
gate Aiuslie, of Idaho, is being neutra.
lized by tho residents Of North Idaho
through the telegraph and mails. Hon.
L. p. Brown, one of tho leaders Of pub.
lie opinion in North Idaho. will reach
Washington tomorrow to answer Aims
lies objections. The only danger arise,
from the lukewarm support given
Brentz' bill by the press Of Puget
Sound. II we want TO become State

Elk. U. s. commissioner French, ~
we infer,) has given his view of The
status Of the Northern Pacific Land
grant, from which ws conclude that
he thinks the grant to b. a. uualtsf-
able as the laws Of the Medes snd Per-
SLAMS. How the legal minds in Con
gress may view ths matter remains 70
DO told. Here is what French sAyS:
A careful reading and study Of ths
laws relating to the Northern Pacific,
and an experience OF same years, lead
me to make the following statements
viz:
FiRsr-By section 3sof the charter

ten through the states,
SEcoND--By section ninc Same oct,
congress can ouly intarposc to do any
and all things necessary to insure :
speedy completion Of tho read. The
grant can never be dirertcd from its
purpose or these vested rights utter
fered with.
TnIRD-By resolution Of both
houses Of congress---of the samo force
as an act Of congress-approved May

road company was authorized 10 issue
bonds, and mortgage all its property
and rights Of property Qncluding IL
franchise as . corporation) to secure
the same. The company having dops
this, congress is absolutely sstoppsd
from any interfereuce other than u
push on the work. Al still more e.
fectivc estoppol, the second section 81
this very resolution says: Congress
may at any time alter or snnAnd this
joint resolution, hauing due regard 10
the rights Of said company and any
other parties"
The case is = completed one--cannot
be reopened and no decision of =
secretary Of the interior or land com.
missioner on questions Of route, Or

the company Of its property. 81

SOMEHOW OR OTHER.

Life is burden to every ones shoulder;
No one may escape from its troubles and
Miss it in youth and twill come when we're
older
And fits us as close as the garments we
wear
Sorrow comes into our home unlimited,
Robbing our hearts of its treasures Of
song;
Lovers grow cold and our friendships are
sighted,
Yet somehow or other we worry along.
Midst the sweet blossoms that smile in our
faces;
Grow the rank weeds that would poison
and blight;
And cen in the midst of earth's beautiful
places,
There's always a something that isn't just
right.
Yet oft from the rock we may pick a gay
flower,
And drink from spring in desolate
waste;
They come to the hearts as heavenly
dover,
And naught is SO sweet to the eye or the
taste.
Every day toll is an every day blessing.
Though poverty's cottage and crust we
may share;
Weak is the back on which burdens are
pressing,
But stout is the heart which is strength
eneG by prayer.
Somehow or other the pathway grows
brighter;
Just when we mourned, there was none
to befriend;
Hope in the heart makes the burden seem
lighter,
And somehow or other we 60 to tho end.

Of any former marriage which shall

The Seattle Post Inteliigenccr an

The Seattle Post Inteliiyenccr says:
In introducing this bill VIC believe Mr..
Brents has made grave error, that will re.
dound to his own injury. He has taken a
step tending most unquestionably to retard
our admission, and which may indefinitely
postpone it. 1t also again reopcns the
North Idaho scheme, at time, too, when
active opposition TO it must be provoked,
which is especially to be deprecated.
We too regarded the bill grave err
ror when we first read it, but under
the instructions Of tho Washington
Legislature given at the late session,
perhaps Mr.. Brents was excuseable,
and if he will adhere to his bill we OF
North Idaho will accept the bill as a
law, when he succeeds in having it made
such and take our chances with the
people of both North Idaho and Wash
ington, in making constitution includ
ing tho boundaries Of North Idaho,
and adopting it. True we believe Ain
slie and Neil would not have made a.
effective opposition, had the bill for ad
mission provided for coming in unde,
the constitution already adopted. The
greatest fear We now apprehend il
what is suggested in the Washington
correspondence of the Union, to wit
That Brents may accept report from
the committee that excludes Nor,l
Idaho. He had better suffer an entire
defeat of his bill than to suffer Nortl
Idaho to he left out.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC GRANT

New YoRK, Feb. 21.--With regard
to the lapsed land grants tho Mat
and Express Washington spec'a says
it is now evident that there will b.
some stir in Congress on this subject.
The Northern Pacific rsilr, ad people
have planted their lobby on the
ground and show considerable nerve.
ouFnsss as to the issue. Tho Judici-
ary Committee Of both Houses have
the whole subject under consideration
aad it is intimated. by prominent mem.
bers thereof, that they intend to sea
the Governments interests protected
at all hazards. In this relation one of
the members says they intend to in.
quire carefully into the question xheth-
er the decision made BY Carl schurs
when he was Secretary Of the Interior
overruling the decision Of the Land
Office Commissioner was the result II
ignorance Of law, fAvoritis,n or.veuality
Some pretty rough things are said
about Schurz in this connection and
they will all be investigated with tho
general subject and if any Of them arr
substan,iated bin will be passed di-
rec,ing the Attorney Geneaal to add
all lapsed railroad grants to the public
domain. The Northern Pacific people
appeal for mercy on the ground that
they have the entire road under con-
tract for construction ard that they
will complete it in two years.
