PUT THE BLAME WHERE 1T BELONGS
A great deal of blame has been bestowed
upon Governor Newell by those hostile
to him for not discovering the errors in
the laws enacted by the late Legislature.
None, we fancy, Will attempt to excuse
the Governor for negligence of this char.
acter, but it must be borne in mind that
his mistakes in this matter were small
compared with those of the legislature
itself. He overlooked their blunders.
They did the same, as also of course,
them. They had from one
to two months to prepare and consider
their laws while in most cases he had
but a few days, and in some ca ses but
few hours,to examine and approve them.
Give the Governor all the blame Justly
due him, but do not add to that the
greater blame also of the late Legisla-
ture.-Seattle POst-I.
