ANNEXATION.

In our judgement it is uselesss to
expect the passage during the present
session of Conercss of bill for the ad-
mission of the State of Washington
into the Union. Three weeks ago we
gave the reasons why we believed the
passage of the bill impossible. They
were, in 4 sentence, that the territory
gave 5000 republican majority and
the democratic senator's aud congress
men have determined to oppose the ad-
mission of republican states. Since
then the situation has not improved.
In less than a month Congress will ad-
iourn sine die. The senate bill for the
admission Of Washington has not yet
been reported by the committee, and
there are more bills ON the calendars
of both Houses than could be passed
before the fourth of March il the mem
bers did not debate each one at length.
1t is evident to all that we can have
no hope Of admission by the next Con.
gress. The House will be too strong
" democratic and the senate too even
" balanced. What should he done ia
to annex North Idaho to the territory
of Washington. The citizens Of North
Idaho by a vote Of l,648 to 205 said
they wanted to be annexed to Wash
ington. That question was the chief
one which agitated their minds during
the last campaign. The people OF
Southern Idaho, while they did not
have as distinctive an issue presented
to them but knowing that every vote
for Singiser was u vote for dismem
, bering the Territory of Idaho, gave
the annexation candidate q heavy
majority. The people Of the Ter
ritory of Washington by means o
Legislative memorials, and by thei
votes, have repeatedly given expression
to their wish for annexation of Nortl
Idaho. The physical geography OF tn
, Territory of Idaho is such that tn
proper transaction of official busines
by the residents of the Northern par
is impossible. They are separated from
their political capital by range of i'm
passasle mountains, which also prevent
all business and social intercourse be
. tween the inhabitants of tho d,fferen
portions of the Territory. There
only one sound reason for keeping tn
Territory of Idaho intact, and that
that to take away the Northern cour
ties, the best agricultural portion of tn
Territory, the converting Of the Terr
. tory into State is postponed indef
J nitely. That consideration should nc
outweigh all the advantages which wi
n. flow to tho enterprising inhabitants
North Idaho by making them a polit
cal part Of Washington Territory, wit
whose inhabitants they have intima'
business and social relations and fro
whom they are separated by an invis
bio barrier only. We believe th'
there will be little difficulty in indu
ing the next Congress to annex Mort
Idaho to Washington Territory, pr
vided Delegates Brents and Siugis
work together for that object. IL
latter gentleman is, we understan
now in Washington doing all he CT
!. for the scheme.-W. ". Union.

who could Ill afford it losing as high as

operation of the others and the opening of

TO make the present day European steam

into gambling saloons is neither proper
nor respectable. Pool selling may not
perhaps be seriously Objectionable, but
poker playing openly in the smoking
room, with hundreds of dollars upon the
table. is not a creditable exhibition on
| these ships in these days. Some conces-
sion or this point should be made to the
majority of the passengers who deprecate
such an open violation of prophecies. It
is a reform that is demanded, and the
sooner steamship people understand it the

judges OF Whisky.

One day Senator Beck and ex-Gov.
3fagofin visited Maj. Daviess, near
Harrodsburg, and the Major brought
out some prize whisky. Beck sampled
it straight first, then sought for its mer-
it in toddy, and again tried it with a
little ice and mint added. Meanwhile
the Governor slipped it in the shape of
Srog. They would agree in regard to
only one point, that the liquor was
good, IN fact, very superior liquor. The
Senator pronounced it McBTaycr, the
Governor insisted that it was the D. l.
Moore known as the Cold Water)
brand. The Senator said it was fully 9
years old, the Governor limited it to 6.
HE Senator imagined it tasted Just a
little Of iron, while the Governor
thought If there was any foreign flavor
Il was that Of leather. At this point
tie host observed: Gentlemen, there's
only a gallon left in the barrel; there
was nearly three when you came; viii
have it brought up and opened and let
YOU see for yourself there is 10 adultcr-
atom in my whisky
The barrel was brought up and the
head knocked out, and after straining
tie remnant Of whisky there was found
il the dregs of charcoal 4 small iron
key, with leather string tied to it.
The Major exclaimed again: By
George, gentlemen, you are the best
Judges of liquor in the world. There's
Il key proving there was iron in it, and
leather showing Magotlin was righ5, and
as for the brand, you see it is a d. l..
Moore barrel, but [ recently poured a

in regard to its age, and YOU didn't miss

There IS usually on board every steamer
2 lot of sharps-commerciaI travellers,
buyers for New York houses, drumme-s
and ex-sporting characters-that form
into ring or rings day or two out and
begin the various systems OF gambling
First it is ''pooI'' on the run OF the ship.
So many numbers or chances are put into
hat and say thirty persons put in ten
shillings ($2 5O) each. The numbers are
then drawn and assigned to subscribers,
then auctioned off and the premiums added
TO the pool, running it frequently up to
thirty or forty pounds. The number calling
for the number of miles the ship has run
wins. Then follows poker, and three or
four tables are running at once and the
passengers crowd in to see the game until
those who would like to have quiet smoke
and read, are driven out by the crowd and
gamblers. The verdant young man Just
setting out for his tour of Europe with
plenty of money falls an easy victim, and
of course ge.s cleaned out by the sharps;
and this beginning could often account
for appeals to the governor or the indul-
gent mother for more funds-''so much
more expensive to travel than was antici-
pated," etc. 1t IS pernicious in example
and effect, it is great annoyance and de-
privation of comfort to those who do
not plar, sadly detracts from the re-
epectability and character of the ship and
is generally demoralizing and objectiena-
bile. 1t ought to be embodied in the reg
ulatious of the ship that no gambling
should be allowed in the smoking room
