DIFFERENT WAYS OF LOOKING
AT THE SAME THING,

Two boys went out hunting grapes.
One was happy because they found grapes.
The other was unhappy because the
grapes had seeds in them.
Two men being convalcscent were ask

When it rains one man says, "This will
make mud" Another, ''This will lay

Two boys eating their dinner; one said

ORGANIZING A STATE GOVERN
MENT.

A Yakima correspondent of this paper
has some suggestions of interest as to the
I organization OF State Government. lie
recommends the holding of another con-
vention for the framing of Constitution,
and subsequent election under its pro-
visions of State officers, Legislature, Sen
ators and Representatives and demanding
admission of Congress.
We Garnet regard the scheme as laid
out entirely practical. 1t would be an
assumption from beginning to end, but
would not be Objectionable to us on that
account. 1t probably would be, however,
to many. The weakest feature in the
plan proposed, though, is the 'pecuniary
one 1t will require the expenditure Of a
good many thousand dollars, and it will
be legally impossible to get the money
out of the Territorial treasury, and quite
as impossible to get it in any other way.
There are three ways of getting Wash
ington Territory admitted to Statehood.
One is to go before Congress with the
Constitution OF 1878 and ask, and keep
asking, for admission.
Another is to get an enabling bill
through Congress authorizing the Terri
tory to take certain steps, which, when
taken, viii entitle US to admission.
The third is for the Legislature to call
another Constitutional Convention, organ
izc State Government as far AS possible,
and then secure from Congress approval
of their course.
The first plan we have always regarded
the plainest, simplest, cheapest and east
est. The third plan is next most prefer
able, while the second involves all the
objections that may be urged against the
third with additional uncertainty and
delay.
The Legislature will meet again few
months hence, when, we believe, it will
be wise and proper for it to adopt new
measures looking to the desired end. In
til that time comes it will be impossible
to do anything (beyond talking and writ
ing) that will further the cause-Post-
lntetligencer.

Miss Bridgets Christmas Box.

Miss Bridget was an old maid that
il. lie had been % long recognized and
known a. Mis-. Bridget" that her
friends and ncighborS would have scout
cd the idea Of her ever being called bv
any other name. There had been. 10
ness on her part for some curly headed
youth but whether that tondne>. had
been rcciprocatcd or not was question
only sct at rest bv tile general opinion
that no one could ever know Miss Bridg-
ct without loving her; W il Ma, gcucr-
ou-lv conceded that the curly-headcd
youth had gone to ,ea and been Ship
wrecked and drowned, and that Miss
Bridget had 'worn the willow" ever
since, and would always continue 80 to
do, for his sweet sake.
The only reason for this sad and "a
ta>trophlcal supposltIon rested in the
known possession, by Miss Bridget, Of a
miniature representing Il Young man
having large blue eyes and curling light
hair. and clad in a bipe jacket; vet on
Thu slender hypothesis Was erected a
complete scatarng romance, which the
younger Of Miss Bridget's friends de
lighted in rchearsing for her cdiiication
whenever they felt in peculiarly tan
talizing humor-delightcd chiefly be-
cause Of the perfectly charming blush
the story brought 10 Miss Bridget checks
and the marvelously tender smile with
which it sottened the rather sad lines Of
her mouth.
Miss Bridget lived in large Old stone
house in street which had ONCE been
in the suburbs Of the great CITY. and
where residences had been ,par,ely seat
tered about, and were III Il more sub
>tantial character than those usually
erected.
But the great city in IFS progress had
caught up with thi, street, lined it with
block, If harng red brick houses, and
rushed onward. far ont into the couu-
try
Mis- Bridget could have disposed Of
hrr property ut 4 very high figure If >hc
had felt 80 inclined; but she did not.
and no inducemeut, could change Her
opinions IN thi, question; % she con-
tinucd to live there. isolated, though in
the midst Of constantly changing crowd
Of inhabitants, and her dwelling stood
ont from among il, modern ueighbors
