POST INTELLIGENCER'
xaI PARALLEL CAsE.s.

p.causa Dakota, with 47,433 voters,
-. admitted to Statehood, Tern
toriaI exchange thinks that WASHINGTON
with only 10, 499, stands no show what
ever for securing the great boon.
This may be, but we cannot see II III
that light. The cases are by no means
parallel as stated.
It is only half of Dakota that Is asa
ing admission-the southern haif, "hiie
il ia not only the whole of washington
asking but a part of Idaho also. Add
inc North Idaho to Washington ana
making a reasonable allowance for gain
of voters since last November, we arc
iustified in claiming 5000 as our pres
ent number. How many the southern
half of Dakota can truthfully claim We
have no means of knowing, but prooa-
bly not many, if any, IN excess OF
5000.
Again, Dakota is not really kept out
on account of alleged lack OF sufficient
population. Census returns, assess
ments, land Office. postoihce, raiiroaa
and other reports. have efiectuaiiy dis
proved this assertion, and 1t IL no long
or heard except among the ignoranl'-
preiudiced. or false ones, whose testi-
monv is unworthy heed. More effective
ARGUMENTS against her admission have
been found in the dishonesty OF her PEG
ple and the Objectionable character OF her
laws, but the argument OF greatest
weight is found in her politics. Inc
latter argument holds equally good
AGAINST us, but not the former aiid
the political argument can easily DC Sol
aside by the simultaneous admission OF
Montana or some other Democratic
Territory.
Considering Dakota III its entirety
opr Territorv is as densely populated,
our area being less than one hall theirs'
We have a more firmly fixed, stable
prosperous and richer population, anu
are better able to sustain the burden OF
State Government. This il evidenced
in many ways, but more particularly by
the assessment of the two Territories
ours footing up in value over thirty-two
millions to forty-seven millions OF
theirs, an average per voter here OF over
sixteen hundred dollars to ten hundred
there.
These things are AL to be considered
in the matter of the admission OF the
two Territories.
We must not let up trying to secure
our entry to the sisterhood of States,
the only objection to remove being the
politics of our people, which IL too
flimsy for urging by those influenced
by it.

SHIP BUILDING on THE CLYDE.

The English journal, Engineering,
gives some facts about the ship building
business on the Clyde during 1882 which
are very interesting TO American readers
JUS. now. In the Clyde ship yards there
are supposed to DO built the finest iron
and steel ships in the world, and more
of them than at any other one place.
Not only are sailing aud steam vessels
built for the English merchant trade,
but for that of many other countries,
and also vessels of war for the British
and foreign Governments. There have
been some accessions recently to the
number Of Clyde ship building firms, of
which there are now about forty. The
business fiuctuates from year to year,
according to the demands Of commerce,
and 1882 was one of the good years, the
output of tom age being larger than for
any preceding year, although the mum
Der of vessels was not 30 great as for
1881. The total number and tonnage
compare as follows for the last three
years: 1882. 389, 900 tons and 20 vessels.
1881, $4,000 tons and 3li vessels; 1880,
$4,000 tons and 24l vessels. OF the 2o5
vessels built last year ii we're iron or
steel sailing ships, against "A construct
cd in 1881. There is also much varia-
ton in tho relative demand for steam
and sailing vessels. For a time after
the Suez Canal was opened the call was
almost entirely for stea mers, being sue
decided few years later by demand
for sailing vessels at the time when the
price of coal rose SO high in England
Now steam has again come to the front
The sailing ships built now are of
large class, the average tonnage of those
for 1882 being 1910 tons. Many of the
great English aud Scotch ship-owning
firms order one or two large iron vessels
every year. and ono firm is mentioned
that of John Kerr 4 Co., of Greenock-
which has just had constructed its fifty
seventh vessel. Among the vessels
built on the Clyde in 1882 were two
steel ships for the British navy, one
being Of S713 tons. Il may surprise the
reader to know there were no less than
eighteen paddle-wheel steamers built,
that being type of construction which
Is commonly supposed to be obsolete
except for bay or coast traffic. One of
these paddle-wheel vessels, the Kianc
Yu. is of 800 tons burthen and has Gu
gines of 00horse power. Another, the
Mono's Isle, built for the traffic between
Liverpool and the Isle of Man. is of
1870 tons and has COO horse power en-
gines.

that from the time the ship struck I'M

The passengers and crew urged the cap

They were forty hours on the wreck.
MIR. Wells left the wreck in boat COM
manded by Simmons. There were only
two oars-Simmons using one. When
they got ashore they borrowed fishing
boat To GO Oft to the wreck, but that
boat was turned over in the surf and
the crew barely escaped with their lives,
As 10 Engineer Grant it is supposed he
was injured on the raft. When he GOT

soon after. While on the wreck he

In CALIFoRNu.-A letter from Capt.
]. n. Marshall informs friend here
that he and his family arrived at San
Francisco from Honolulu on the I'D of
January. and that after a week in the
city they all went down to San Diego.
They stayed few days there, and then
went to Los Angeles, where they will
remain until the LIST of March. Paso
Rohles Springs will be. visited next,
where the family will remain until the
LIST of May, when they will return to the
Sound. At San Diego they met the No
Lure and Tibbstts families. Mr.. Nc
Lure is in the enjoyment of the best
health. He was burned out on his
ranch. and lost all his furniture. but Re
was insured. Mr.. McGilvra was in San
Diego on the first of the month. Capt.
Marshall thinks San Diego is the dead
est place he ever saw.

A Coop RoUrE.-The steamer Evan
gel has now made trips to both Victoria
and New Westminster, and Capt. Ben
jamin has got pretty good idea Of the
trade to expect. He is particularly
pleased with that of New Westminster,
and thinks he will hereafter confne his
boat to that route, making two runs a
week over it. The Evangel is large
enough for the business, and at the
same time can average going comfort
ably full both ways. A heavy trade
with the country south of the line re-
mains to be developed with New West
minister, and 1t is in condition suscep-
tible of easy development. The Victoria
trade, on tina contrary, is not only pretty
we'll developed, but is also pretty well
controlled by the other lines.

coNwAr.
The first mate. was convicted on two
out of five or six indictments, and was
sentenced to four years on the first
charge, that Of thricing Smith mp, and
eighteen months for striking one of the
sailors with Delaying pin.
JonS BENNETT,
The brutal looking second mate OF the
Challenger, was convicted on i've lndict-
ments for cruelty 10 seafnen, and was
seute iced to four years and nine
months, altogether.
Mr. j. &. Haines, counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, was given until June LIST TO

intention of that gentleman to carry tho
cases to the Supreme Court.
NOTES.
The cases in which the juries dis
agreed-three against Conway and one
against Captain Mountford-were con-
tinued till next May.
All the witnesses in the cases have
been discharged on their own recog-
nizances, and the chances are that by
next May they will be few and far
butween-all the same "a hens teeth.
All those witnesses who have been
held by tho Government were paid of
yesterday. and Marshall Hopkins kept
blck S25 from each one. as security for
the costs in number OF civil actions
they have brought against the ship and
hcr officers.
Besides the sentences of imprison-
nent against Conway and Bennett, the
] Judge assessed a fine of one dollar and
costs; which simply means an additional
thirty days imprisonment on the end of
their sentences.
Conway and Bennett were taken to
the penitentiary yesterday afternoon.
