e Cali For Action


Dr. L. I. Minor has Inc following
communication in The Post-IHic!Igea-
Ger Just at hand, which Is editorially
endorsed b. that paper. !. in the
direct line Of recommendations urged
repeatedly by the ARGUS within the
past few months. namely, that the
better classes Of our citizens should
unite to settle this vaxed Chinese
question. IN order 10 take ii out Of
tha hands Of those who resort to IN
lawful and criminal me.hGds:
| think the time has come for tbs
intelligent action OF patriotic, law
abidiug citizens TO aid in every way
not only the prevention % the com
ing Of the Chinese to this country,
but by Peacesble means aad legal
methods to secure their removal from
our midst.
To this end il IS important nov
that the sentiment OF cur people be
calmly, clearly and foEclbly expressed
10 tie end that the hands OF the Re
representatives. in and Senators friend
" to this purpose may be strength
enad, and the aid OF all reasonable
men obtained to assist N the enact
ment OF the necessary legislation,
Violation Of law cannot help, bat
only hinders the accomplishment OF
this wise purpose.
California, suffering most from, mas
has taken the lead IN this matter, and
It seems TO ne that Washington Ter
ritory should not be slow in joining
that State III demanding, not IL the
interest OF ourselves alone, but to the
end that that the peace, prosperity
and pernanence OF this Nation, which
is dependent ON the intelligent
patriotism OF hay wage WORKERS, may
be maintained.
I would suggest that a convention
be held in Frye's Opera House III this
city on or about March 9th, to which
delegates be invited representative oi
the Territory al large and OF the diff
| ferent City Governments, ROaTds o.
Trade and Chambers OF Commerce oi
the the Territory, the delegates from
the Territory TO be selected five iron
each county by the County Ccmmis
sioners of the different counties, anC
the other bodies referred 10 to select
like number Of representatives
Immediate action is Of the utmost
Importance. Respectfully yours,
T. T. MINOR.

Seattle Chroaielel
The act providing fer the imme-
date construction ef psnitentiary
bGilding at Walla Walla has met with
opposition over the territory which
has finally cry6talhzed into petition
to congress praying that the act be
set aside. In Seattle many of the
leading citizens have signed the peti
tion and 1t viii go TO Washington
with the names of the heaYiest tax
payers OF the territory upon it.
There are two very serious objec-
tions to the act. First, it is con-
structed with alarming looseness. Il
appropriates $S0,009, which is to be
placed in the hands OF commission
appointed by the governor, with nc
other restriction upon it than that il
shall build the best structure it can
for the money. No plans were con-
sidered, nor was there any stipulation
as to whether the building shall be OF
stone, brick or iron-the commission
simply receives $50, 1000 of the peoples
money to spend as it will
Tho second, and perhaps more seri-
Gus objection, is contained IN the
question of whether 1t is advisable at
this time to build any kind OF q pen
itsntiary Eighty thousand dollars
is = small sum to expend upon such
public institution, and would hard
ly lay the foundation for building
such IS the state of Washington viii
need inside of very few years. Il
is doubtful whether the commission
can or will devise a plan by whics
the proposed building may be eco
nonIically enlarged as demands uson
its increase, and if the plan is az
tempted with $4,000 as basis, we
will have in about ten years a pic
turesque but not useful patchwork
of brick and iron doing service as a
prison.
This fund of $4,000 was produced
by a special tax of / mill, which
yielded 10000, and direct appro
priation from the general fund OF
$4,000. This was as much if not
more, than the treasury could stand.
Under the appropriation bills passed
by the late legislature the expendi-
ture of the territory during the next
two years viii amount to 1884, ,2S7,
while the revenue cash on hand, will
be but S320,096, leaving a deficit OF
s63, Poi. We believe that the build
ing of a psnitcntiary should be de-
ferred until the demands are more
pressing upon the present institution
and the condition of our treasury viii
warrant expenditure enough to con-
struet suitable building.

Editorial Notes.

The retirement Of Gen, Pope opens
the way for a promotion. Among
those most likely TO succeed to the
vacant Major -Generalship are: Brig.
Gen O. O. Howard, Brig. Gen. Mel
son 4 Miles, Brig, Gen. John Glib
bon, the present commander of tie
Vancouver division. and Gen. New.
ton, Of the Engineers. It probable
that Gen. Howard VIII win the prize.
He has fully earned it by long and
arduous service, although the nomi
nation of eithsr Gen. Miles or Gen
Gibbon would give widespread salts
faction.
Gen John !. Logan, the old BlacB
War horEe Of Illinois, is said to be ar
active candidate for the next repub-
Iican nomination for the presidency
It Is a good way off yet, but Logan
Is not delUded with the idea that the
nomination VIII come 10 him an
sought. He viii not again accept
the vice presidential nomination with
anybody. If we mistake not, how
ever, the magnetic statesman from
Maine viii sweep everything before
like whirlwind when the republican
hosts again east about for a standard
bearer. He is their natural leader.
The local option crusade is to be
opened at Tacoma by mass meeting,
At Seattle the temperance people
seem to be in a quandary, their fear
seeming to be that in the event OF
sarrying the election for prohibition
under the law, they might still be
unable to elect i city government
that would enforce lt-so that their
last state would be worse than their
first. A very general desire seems to
prevail among advocates OF prohibi-
ton throughout the Territory tc
stand up and be counted" just
what Will be done in Jefferson
county, We do not know, but it now
seems likely that in Port Townsend
at least there will be a vote to test
the comparative strength of prohibi-
tionists.

employees object TO work for the Wa
