ORIGIN OF JOURNALISM.

At very early period daily news
letters were circulated, concerning
public and official acts, in Rome,
Venice and China. The first printed
newspaper was the Gazette, published
Ill Nuremberg in 1857, and the Oldest
paper eXtant is the Nelte ZejiltRg aus
Hi.IdllieTl uIsd HdlieH, printed in the
same city in 1884. Other countries
followed Germany in issuing printed
newspapers in the following order:
England in 1922; France, 1851 Sweden.
l6i}; Holland, 1856; Russia, 1903:
Im'sey, 1877. The progress Of Jour
nailsm has been most rapid in America.
The first American newspaper, consist
Il Z OF three pages of two columns each
and blank page, was published in
Loston, Sept. %, 1890, under the namo
Of "PUbl.ck Occurrences, both FOREIGN

That Railway On Paper.

DIsCoSTISUED.-Th disallowance
of the boundary railway by the Do
minion government has caused the
discontinuance of work on the Bell
ingham Bay and British Columbia
railway. Victoria CoIoHist
When this paper pointed out some
time ago the improbability that the
Canadian government would allow
an American company to tap its
transcontinental railway and divert
its trade, we We're hooted at by the
Whatcom Rereiiie as trying to injure
the town. The people of Whatcom,
while assured Of our very best wish
es, will Yet learn that it is better
sometimes to be told the plain truth,
unpalatable though it be, than to
build up false hopes over the sense
less blowing" of a local journal
An effort has been made to excuse or
explain the recent cessation of work
on the alleged railway line, by this
same Rercjiic in the following words:

That SCHOOL BUILDING.-No that
the new school directors are elected,
We hope to see them take hold of the
matter of erecting new building, in
manner that Will demonstrate their
appreciation Of the requirement of
the place. Not only should present
needs be taken into account, but our
requirements for The next ten years
should be anticipated and provided
for. Above all things We should
avoid the mistake of putting up q
cheap building as make shift. OF
course no one wants to see a large
amount squandered to line some con
tractors pocket; but the business
sagacity of our directors is sufficient
70 make such thing we'll nigh i'm
possible The building should be
worth not less than ten thousand
dollars, and We do not believe there
are half dozen persons in Port
Townsend who would grumble at an
outlay as large as that, judiciously
made. In fact such sum would be
magnificent compared with the ben
sfits that would accrue to TIE general
public. Suppose a debt of a few
thousand dollars was incurred by an
expenditure as above indicated, the
taxpayers, especially the principal
ones, would cheerfully help to pay it
of. The vote for a special tax to be
gin this work was all but unanimous,
and ought to be sufficient Indication
of the wishes of the people. We be
lieve in liberal, progressive policy
IN this matter, and are frank to say
that no Investment could be made by
Po<t Townsend with larger proper
tionate returns than that required TO
secure a handsome ten thousand dol
fsr school building.

United states Treasurer's Report.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of Wyman, Treasurer of the
United States, shows that the total net
revenue is 1895, ,2S7, ,5S1, a decrease of
S5,2S1 Sos The only increase in re-
ceipts was from the sale of public lands.
The condition of the Treasury and the
expectations thereof are set forth at
great length, but the main points of in
terest have been published from time to
time. The Treasurer recommends that
an appropriation be made to pay the eX-
press charges for worn and mutilated
United States money and for distribu
ton of fractional silver and minorcoins.
He also recommends the discontinuance
of the three-cent pieces, and the com
pensation and mileage for members of
Congress be made by the discussing
| officer instead of the Treasurer. He
urges the restoration of the salaries in
the Treasurer's office reduced in 1876.
speaker OtIhe House
CHICAGO, Nov. l2.-Carlisle, of Ken
tucky, claims eighty-three votes on tie
first ballot for Speaker, and hopes to
triumph over Randall ON the second
ballot by majority of one 1t will be
difficult for Pennsylvania to get sixty
seven votes from the West and South.
North Pacific Mail service
WAsHINGToS, Nov. l3.-Complaint has
reached the Post Office Department
that the mails on the Northern Pacific
road are not properly worked by postal
clerks and instead of being distributed
to the various points along the route, are
carried through to Portland and stacked
up there. Superintendent Thompson
says this state of affairs has been brought
about by combination of postal clerks,
who purposely neglect their duty in order
to compel the Department to double the
force which he maintains is already suf-
ticient to distribute the mails properly.
However this may be, Postmaster Gen
eral Gresham has taken the matter in
hand and tonight assigned to Superin-
tendent Jameson the duty of going over
the line of the whole road f ON St Paul
to Portland, makinga thorough examina-
ton of the postal service If he finds the
force insufficient to properly work the
mails 1t will be increased. If the present
employees are sufficient, they Will he
replaced by better men. In short what
ever Is needed to make the service
prompt and efficient along the line will
be supplied at once, and all cause for
complaint removed.

ENLARGE. We believe the time has
fully come when it would be for the
best interests of all concerned to ex.
tend the city limits of Port Town
send so as to include all suburbs that
ought reasonably to belong to it.
Four years ago Il bill was passed in
the legislature, extending the town
limits, but Messrs. Winslow and
Kuhn carried around remonstrance
and obtained such large number of
signatures of the property owners
interested that the measure was re
pealed in Difference to their wishes.
We thought then that these gentle
men were misguided in their zeal to
escape a few dollars in city taxes;
and now the time is certainly past to
raise any such plea, and we hope the
proper measures will be taken. There
are a large number of our towns
people who have lived for years just
outside the city limits, who derive us
much benefit from the city govern
ment as any, who get their share of
the benefits of city school money, &c,
who do business in the city, and who
are virtually as much its residents
as though their dwellings, We're with
in the limits To relieve such from
bearing their share of the burdens
of maintaining a city government
under such circumstances is not just
to those living within the lines
When the question of oxtention was
agitated four years ago the ARGUS
used these arguments with all then
force, but the effort was unavailing
Now, however, we understand that
the principal property owners to be
affected by the proposed change are
willing to come in and pay their share
So that there Is not the shadow of al
excuse for longer delay. These
property owners would reap some ad
vantage as compensation for their ex
ira taxation, in the increased value
of their property. The present lin.
its are too confined and cramped
We are criticised as Il town too mar
row minded to flourish. Let the cor
porate limits include all that really
belongs by right within them and
let those, if there are any, who arr
afraid of the tax bugaboo, sell out
and move away We do not need
them; they are obstructionists, stand,
ing in the way of the best interests
of the greatest number.

The pension frauds of which so
much is said in dispatches now a
days. and for connection with which
several attorneys have been deba1red
from appearing before the Depart
ment, are not directed against the
Government SO much as against the
manned soldier or his family. They
chiefly consist in obtaining under
false pretenses enormous fees for
little or no service. District Attorney
Corkhill, of Washington, has taken
the matter in hand and is stirring up
the thieves with a very sharp stick.
He has already prepared several in
-dlctments for presentation to the next
grand jury and proposes to prosecute
the rascals to the full extent of his
power. They deserve it. If there is
anything meaner than swindling a
wounded soldier of the Union army, OF
his widow or children, out of the pit,
lance allowed him by the government
rs pension, we have yet to find out
what it is. The attitude of the De
partment and the authorities upon
this matter will meet with hearty

SHE IS HE.-Under the Bengal
Presidency a law has been passed in
terpreting he as meaning also she in
q statutory sense. Thus from a hea-
then land comes practical lesson on
the inborn rights of woman's suffrage
The strong pleas of the anti suffra-
gists are that none should vote but
those who can fight, and that women
should be kept out of the filthy pool
Of politics. These arguments are of
the double back-action, self confut-
ing kind. Given to women her right
to vote, the need for fighting would
grow small and beautifully less, and
such filth as the Buckley's the Gan
mons, and the foreign spew of the
cities, that revel in robbery and mis-
rule would vanish. The heather is

1t is earnestly hoped that the
woman suffrage bill now pending in
the Territorial council may become
a law, The question has been agi-
tated for years, and has been steadily
gaining ground, and now it may be
said to be the wish of the progressive
citizens of this Territory to extend
the right of elective franchise to our
citizens without regard to sex. In
fact the sentiment in favor of such
8 move is so strong that if the bill
fails to become law, those who kill
it will be spotted and their poHti-

One of the most popular humorous
poems that has gone the rounds of the
newspapers for many years was written
by a now-distinguished novelist. 1t was
called An Editors First-Born," [ be-
lieve; and L doubt that there is an edi-
tor III the country who is not familiar
with the verses, which run as follows:
There came to port last Sunday night,
The queerest little craft,
Without an inch of rigging On;
looked, and looked, and laughed.
It seemed so curious that she
Should cross the unknown water
And moor herself right in my room,
My daughter my daughter
She has no manifest but this.
No flag floats DER the water,
She's too for the British Lloyds-
My daughter, o my daughter.
Ring out, wild bells, and tame ones too!
Ring out the lovers moon,
Ring in the little worsted socksl
Ring in the bib and spoonI
Ring ont the muse! ring in the nurse!
Ring in the milk and water!
Away with paper, pen and ink
Ny daughter, o my daughter!
The author of this little poem was

first child it celebrated. believe this

'tWhen the jetties were made in the
South Pass, they were imperative until
the Southeast Pass (Passe FOutre) and
the great Southwest Pass were partly
damned, 80 as to force a current through
the jetties. This raised the flood height
of the river as much as one foot for 100
miles or more. 1T is probable that the con-
slant dredging, which has now to be done
to keep the iettied pass practicable. would
keep as great depth in the great South
west Pass without any jetties," The
