Annexation of North Idaho.

\ Washington dispatch of Feb,
9th, says:
Charles ). Voorhees,, Delegate from
Washington Territory. made his
maiden speech today on the bill to
annex the pan handle OF Idaho to
Washington Territory which he rep
resents.
The bill was called up by Mr..
Springer. of the Committee on Ter
ritories, who made a brief statement.
reporting the bill fayorabIy. There
upon Mr.. Hill, of OHIO, Republican,
also a member of the Committee on
Territories. jumped to his feet, and
IN dramatic manner said that from
information in his possession, which
he deemed authoritative, he believed
the bill was a dishonest scheme de
yised for political purposes.
As soon as he had taken his seat
Mr.. Voorhees, took the floor, and in a
speech of half an hours length stated
IN detail his reasons why the bill
should pass, and denounced the state,
ment hat 1t was a scheme of any
sort, direct or indirect. as false. He
read a memorial of the Idaho Legis,
lature of 1881 >, asking Congress to
annex the panhandle" to Washing
ton Said Mr.. Voorhees,: There is
no other consideration in the world,
SO far as | am concerned, except to
meet the wishes of the people who
have been cut of from all communi-
cation and association with their fell
lows, commercially, geographically,
socially, and politically, for the last
twenty years, and | have been sent
here to urge the passage Cf this bill,
which simply declares their will"
Mr. Haley, Delegate for Idaho,
briefly advocated the passage OF the
bill.
Mr. Toole, Delegate from Monta-
Ma. in ii short speech insisted that
ali that portion of the 'panhandle''
north of the 47th parallel should be
ceded to Montana. That strip en-
braces the rich CGur d'Alene gold
and silver mines.
Further consideration of the bill
was cut off by the expiration of the
morning hour, and the bill went over
until tomorrow.
Mr.. Voorhees, stated in his speech
that the panhandle" contained about
2S00 voters, about equally divided as
to politics. Mr.. Voorhees, was very
earnest, and made a fine impression
on the House. He thinks the bill
Will pass tomorrow. and he will then
follow it to the Senate, and hopes by
his fathers aid to pass it there

Personal Journalism.
HOW a pIs1srFEEsrED CITIZEN VIEWS II

HOW pIsISTEEEsTED CITIZEN VIEWS IT.
Nh. EDITOR:-The article rejecting
upon the appointment by the board
Of health, OF health officer, published
in the p. T. Call. should remind
every resident of Port Townsend OF
the danger OF Personal journalism"
and OF the simpropriety of patronizing
Journals capable of making such an
attack. DIR. Minkler has for the past
two years resided in this city, main
tanning himself and his family re-
spectfuIIy. and during that time no
act or omission of his detrimental to
his moral or professional conduct has
ever been pointed out. He Is a
member in good standing In his
church, n temperance man. an attaele
aud polished gentleman and faith
full. painstaking and skilful physi-
clan in his school Of medicine. He
has invested his means here with a
view of making this his esrma-
nent home. In an evil hour, perhaps,
he had the hardihoOd to ask the
board of health to constitute him
their executive officer. Three or
four other physicians of the place
who claim to be of what Is vulgarly
called the ''Old School, insist that
the school Of medicine in which DR..
Minkles has been educated is not
orthodox" and therefore a very
great wrong has been perpetrated
upon the public and serious slight
been put upon them Their out
ragged feelings lind vent in a wall by
the article mentioned, and in the
heat OF disappointment, publish tc
the world is truth, statements that
none but Il reckless irresponsible
slanderer would venture to utter.
The public will remember that the
| Doctor has had much practice since
he has been here, that his advertise
ment as physician has been in the
same paper, and appears in the same
issue of the article referred to. The
public will remember that DR.. Mink
ler's reputation and standing as Il
phyei clan is property that no person
has a right to deprive him of, more
than to take from him any other Of
his property The public will re
member too that a large majority of
the actual bona tide residents of this
place petitioned for his appointment
although his petition wGs not written
until days after the other applicants
had entered the field with their
petitions.
In view of these facts, who of the
decent, we'll behaved people of this
place can feel that he is safe in bis
professional business or moral repu-
tation while such journalism is toler-
ated or permitted! The writer here
of favors no system of boycostine, but
only hopes that these suggestions
may cause the young men who have
been used as tools TO crafty malice,
to reflect on the injustice of such a
publication and mend their ways and
to remind those who laugh and
chuckle over this libelous article that
they cannot know how soon or upon
what occasion such an injury may be
inflicted upon them, or friends that
are dear to them and thai no possi
BILE good can result from such jour
naliGm, and very much of injury and
evil be traced TO it. -

and convenience, thus securing in
addition to the peculiar benefits to
be derived from sojourn in the

and a smooth unruffied ride over the
unrivalled inland waters of Alaska,
trip without parallel, as is evi-
dsnced by the ever increasing tide of

view of it the whig ladies who were
appointed to places of honor in the
Queens household refused to accept.
1t Is bold move on Mr.. Gladstoue's
part, and it is likely to create a sen
sstion in England. But Mr.. Glad
stone is equal to the emergency. He
has shown himself great leader and
is capable of carrying anything he
undertakes to success. 1t is his
first movemant IL the direction of
giving England a democratic form of
government. It is the lighting of a
torch in England which can never
be extinguished until home rule is
not only secured to ireland. but to
England.
There is no doubt that any of the
Mexican States would welcome the
MOrmons, polygamy and all, and the
transfer OF the hierarchy to the
other side CT the border may be the
readiest way to solve the vexatious
problem i'll Utah The Saints cannot
endure much longer the systematic
prosecution to which they have been
subjected for the past yea. Now
that the brains of the G hurch-- George
Q. Cannon is in the hands of the
law, the conviction will come home to
the leaders that some remedy must
be devised. With the chief men in
hiding the Church is sure to lose its
grip on the large unstable clement
that will be weakened by so prosaic a
persecution as the trials for illegal
cohabitation IN the courts. Unless
the Mormons are willing to give up
polygamy they will have to move on,
and Mexico or the Sandwich Islands
are the two places of refuge now
open to them. OF these two Mexico
presents the greatest advantages in
climate, soil and accessibility, and it
would not be strange if another year
saw migration of the Mormons TO
the new land.

LONG LOG HAUL.-Some days age
we published the fact that Terrence
OBrien had secured large body of
timber land near Stuck junction, Oh
the line of the Puget Sound Shore
road, and had entered into a contract
with the representative OF that road
for hauling the timber to Seattle
Mr.. OBrien's camp is about three
miles this side of Stuck junction
and he is busiiy engaged in getting
ready for quite extensive operations
The railroad company is engaged il
constructing logging trucks on which

One pair of trucks were completed
the other day, and, iii order to test
their adaptability for the work, were
coupled together and sent out to the
camp. Thursday evening, as the
train came by, it hitched on to the
trucks, on which had been placed q
log "a feet long and from to 6 feet
in diameter, and scaling 500 feet,

trucks are not coupled together, sx
