than those of the more immediate
northwest; and Washington is so even
ly balanced that the result of the
recent election to choose a delegate
has not yet been officially determined.
In view of recent changes of opinion
there It IS not unreasonable to count
upon Washington as a state democra-
tic by small majority, especially if it
were admitted during a democratic
administration; and thus the party
power of the new provinces would not
be a factor. There win probably
never again arise an opportunity for a
democratic congress to SO distinguish
itself in this particular for doing the
right thing with so little apparent in
jury to Its own prospects. Mean as
this argument may sound, it has force
in 1t; and it is not out of place in ad-
dressing body which has determined
through two successive sessions that
Dakota should be kept out lest her
representatives should held the repub.
lican party. The admission of these
territories would settle the question of
justice to our frontier provences for
some time to come. Idaho is the only
other which promises to be ready for
statehood in the immediate future, and
the date will be delayed some years
yet. Wyoming may remain still long
er in tutelage; Utah can never be
admitted until polygamy is dead, and
ought to be admitted whenever that
most righteous determination shall be
accomplished; while the Mexican ter
rltories of the southwest will need to
develope considerably and to take on
more of the character of American
civilization before they appear as
claimants with a pressing and valid
case. But the issue of justice to the
territories cannot longer be evaded or
postponed.-Pioneer-Press.

1t is a pleasure to be able to speak a
good word for our school and teacher,
Mrs. L. G, Dirking. From the COM
mencement of the present term the
schoolroom has been crowded to its linn
tied capacity, making comfort and
convenience out of the question, yet
the teacher has, by her forethought
and aptitude Tor tho vocation she mas
chosen to fill in life, succeeded in max
ing the scholars feel it a pleasure to
attend school, and while there to devote
themselves to their books. While con-
siderable dissatisfaction existed last
winter among parents and children,
thus far this winter harmony has pre-
vailed. Parents ali agree that their
little ones are learning rapidly, and
have naught but kind words for the
school mistress. In fact had we a
school house commensurate with our
town, under Mrs. Dirking, we would
have the best school in the county.

The Fire Company

A little pleasantly i'll last weeks
ARGUS in regard to the progress of the
fire company, seems to have displeased
several of the active members. While
we had no desire to underestimate the
zeal and enthusiasm of any one of the
volunteers, it is nevertheless true that
two months have elapsed since the initia-
tory steps were taken to provide some
means of protection against fire, 1t is
well known fact that for all the ills
and grievances this town has had in the
past year about the only antidote that
has been suggested was q town meeting
or a petition. Now, what is needed
Immediately, is several ladders and two
dozen pals, stored at some designated
place, that all may know what to do
in case of an alarm. Every able-bodied
adult mail citizen would consider him
self an active member when disaster
threatens the town.
Fires are going in every occupied
dwelling and business house In town,
hence it is the season of greatest dan
ger, but if fire should break out there
is no provision for its suppression. No
use discussing how many rounds y
ladder should have, and whether they
should be hard wood, soft wood or iron.
A carpenter should be set at work max
ing them at once, and they need not
cost over So a piece, Three cheap lad
ders on building viii serve the
purpose as well as one worth $500.
Business men should subscribe 50 or
so and the equipments procured at
once. Now is the time they are most
liable to be brought into service.

The Gazette charter case has been
passed upon by majority of the
supreme court, who hold that the
minister of the interior has no dis
erection, but must present the charter
for acceptance OF rejection by the king
and privy council. Chief Justice Judd
holds that the minister, under the
statute, has discretion. But Judge
Judd says 81 think the law 0agAf h
n as laid down by my learned asso-
ciales. 1t should no, be in the power
OF one man to prevent AT his caprice
the incorporating OF business enter
prises." With this all honest men are
likely to agree and even those who do
not like the Gazette must hope, in the
interests of fair play, that something
may soon be done to give the Gazette
the r.gaf for which they have SO many
months contended in an honorable,
straightforward, fearless and perfectly
lawful manner
