The patriotic people of Dakota are
meeting in mass convention in the
various counties for the purpose OF
procuring a special session Of congress
in order that an act may be passed
dividing that territory into two states
and admitting both to the union.

of Washington territory the propriety
of setting apart the twenty-second of
next February--Washington's birth
day--for the purpose of assembling at
every county seat topetition Benjamin
Harrison-presiden elect of the Unit
ed States---to convene congress in spe-
cial session, and of appointing ut the
same time com mittees to gather statis-
tics OF the number of resources and in
tellgence OF our inhabitants. Let us
make that day an immortal day; one
that when we are in our graves our
children will doubly honor.

The Oregonian cites Portland and
Seattle as examples OF towns that
have grown by reason OF natural sur.
roundings and advantages, and draws
comparison "between their growth
and growth originating in corporate
influence and money investment, as
has been the case with Tacoma aud
the towns Of Eastern Washington
along the line of the Northern Pacific
Railroad"
While it may be true that corporate
influence aided by personal interests
has been exerted elsewhere, the growth
Of Spokane Falls is due less to that
cause than to any other. With
out corporate influence behind it,;
without outside influence from any
where or from any source, Spokane
Falls has grown faster during
the past three years than
Seattle or Tacoma; or even
Portland for that matter. The vote OF
the four cities at the late election
shows this to be fact. The vote OF
Spokane Falls was 2436, indicating a
population of IA GIG, il we count every
sixth inhabitant voter. The vote Of
Seattle was 3,G1S, indicating a popula.
ton OF 81, ,7OS, and the vote of Tacoma
was 2470, indicating a population OF
14,S2O. We are not prepared TO give
the exact figures Of Portland's vote, but
understand it was in round numbers
1900, which would indicate popula.
ton of $4,000. We would approach
nearer the true population Of
the Sound cities by multi
plying the vote of Seattle, and espe-
cially that of Tacoma, by five than by
six, because the ratio of voters to
population in those cities exceeds that
In cities-like Portland and Spokane
Falls-whele the number of women
and children bear about the same pro-
portion to men as in eastern cities.
We observe that the vote, cast in
Spokane Falls, has set the arithmetic
man OF the Tacoma Ledger to work.
Evidently that city's pride was hard
hit when it appeared, officially. that
the population of Spokane Falls is
equal to that Of Tacoma, and that the
population OF Spokane county exceeds
that OF Pierce-taking the vote cast as
a basis-by nearly 1000.
The growth Of Spokane Falls--the
result exclusively OF natural causes
and the energy and intelligence Of its
citizens-is the marvel Of the day.
Spokane Falls has grown not only un-
aided by outside influence, but what

During the civil war a lieutenant in
IL West Virginia regiment, who had
volunteered at the early age of Is,
was captured and confined in Libby
prison. AS the war progressed there
arose. from time to time, questions in
volving the right of certain classes of
beligerents to be treated as prisoners
OF war. Mr.. Stanton selected one of
this class, caught marauding in citi-
zen's clothing, to be shot. Whereup-
on the government at Richmond no
titled the authorities at Washington
that if Stanton's order as executed
they would proceed to hang Union
prisoner in retaliation, and that they
had already selected the young West
Virginia lieutenant for the sacrifice.
When a knowledge of these facts came
to the ears OF the young lieutenant he
wrote to Mr.. Stanton not to delay for
a moment-on his account-the exc
cution OF the marauder, adding that
the life Of no one man must be consid-
cred when the safety OF the country is
at stake.
The young Virginian who wrote
those heroic words afterwards sat in
the cabinet of the nation, and has
just been elected governor OF his ma
tive state. An effort is being made to
rob him and those who elected him
OF their victory 80 gallantly won.
Naturally he has something to say
about it. Here is what-so yester-
days dispatches inform us-he says:
General Goff also telearaphs to Editor
Hart of the Intelligencer that he is elected
governor. He says he will see that the
will Of the people is carried out.
Doubtless he means it.

CHANCES FOR ADMISSION.

The Associated Press dispatches
contain declaration from Congress
man William Springer, democratic
| chairman of the house committee on
territories, outlining the policy OF the
democratic majority in congress at
the second session of the Fiftieth con-
gress, upon the question OF the admis-
sion of the territories. He states that
none OF the territories will be admit
ted, upless the republicans shall re-
cede from their pledge, that Dakota
shall be divided and admitted as two
states. Upon this point the demo-
Gratis are determined and immovable.
The republican party has always
kept faith with friends and foes. There
is no prospect OF it DESERVING the re.
publicans of Dakota. The republicans
in congress are as determined IN their
support OF Dakota as the democrats
are in their opposition. This being
the case, there will be no territories
admitted by the democrats at the De-
cember session. 1t is sure that the
Fiftieth congress will adjourn without
the admission of single new state.
The fifty-first congress will meet on
the first Monday Of December, 1889.
Should the question OF the territories
be the first settled by legislation, it
will be far into 1890 before the law
could be passed and approved. 1t
would be impossible under usual
plans OF procedure, to admit the terri
tories into the union before the session
of congress beginning December, 1890.
In view Of the facts in the case, the
REVIEW believes that President Harri-
son would be justified in convening
congress in extra session OH March 4,
1889, for the purpose Of redeeming the
pledge made by the republican, nation
al convention in the platform accept
ed by the president elect and approved
by the electors Of .he nation, that the
territories ready and fitted for state
hood should be admitted at once. An
extra session could pass enabling
Rcts within ninety days for the
Dakotas, Montana and Washing
ton, and by the first regular session of
the fifty.irst congress, December,
1889, they would be in place and have
their just ard proper representation in
1t will be seen that We depend upon
the pledge OF the party, and the friend
ship of President Harrison for our
early admission.
Insour judgment, the needs OF the
the security of business, the
OF the people, demand that
the political menace OF "Solid South"
shall be removed, and that as SO on
as possible, by the admission of
the northwest territories, ready for
statehood. To accomplish this, the
party should request the chief magis-
trate Of this nation to convene the Fiji
tieth congress in extra session on
March 4, 1889, to provide the legisla-
ton necessary for the admission OF the
territories SO long excluded because
of their republican majorities. IT is
to be hoped that our admission will not
long be delayed, and our case will re-
ceive fair and favorable considera-
ton at the hands of the republican
eaders and of President Harrison.

HOMESTEAD LAWS.

~ mao pCSoihO AScoShiSSt Riiiibi-
Pile in American society that the
highest obligation resting upon the
state is to protect and secure its citi-
zeus in the possession of homes for
themselves and families.
Next to the right of eminent domain
the doctrine of homestead is justly re-
garded as the most important in our
system OF government, and after a
long struggle it has been established
substantially upon the same basis as
the right of personal liberty or the
pursuit of individual happiness. Re-
strictions against the alienation of
homesteads and their exemption from
sale under execution have long found
a place in the statute books OF most of
our states and territories, but public
sentiment on this subject has reached
point where it will not be satisfied with
laws clumsily written and oveIthrown
by judicial Interpretation There is a
feeling abroad in the country that no
one should be deprived OF shelter for
himself and family, except he and they
voluntarily abandon their homestead,
and this feeling is not the result merely
of desire to protect the individual
homesteader. but has higher and
broader significance. 1t indicates an
advance in civilization to the point
where homes are regarded as just as
necessary to complete society as laws,
and where the surplus is all that busi-
ness requirements must exact.
Those who are without shelter be-
come burden upon public that 10
unwilling to longer tolerate the
spectacle OF family turned
out of house and home.
The object Of all homestead laws is
defeated wherever it is possible to de-
prive a man of his home without his
consent and the consent OF his wife
and children. They have the same
right to shelter that he has, and il he
is allowed to deprive them of that
right without their consent, the result
is the same as if the homestead was
knocked down to the highest bidder
under the sheriff's hammer
The constitutional convention, soon
to assemble in this territory, will be
called upon to consider many grave
and important subjects, but none so
far reaching in its consequences as
this, and it behooves the people to see
to it that no one is elected member
of that body who is unfriendly to the
doctrine of homestead in it's fullest
and most liberal significance.

Away back, in the DAYS of our queer
old grandmothers, the Yankee girl
was mixture of blue stockings, re-
ligion and pumpkin pies, with a mod
est trimming of white aprons, linen
collars and Quaker bonnets.
Now, she flies her kite as high as
any girl, and gives a dash of romance
to everything she touches, from
ducal coronet to butter churn. She
is selling in the matrimonial pools
against the field, and when she puts
on her best harness and swings herself
loose she is dead sure winner every
time. Mr.. Henry Labouchere, who is
an artist in matters divine and an ex-
pert in matters matrimonial, declares
that the main reason why Yankee
girls are cutting out all others, is
they are not SO 'missy" as their for
eign rivals aud are drought up to run
down their game" The Englishman's
estimate does the Yankee girl an in
justice, unless it is an Englishmans
way Of saying that the Yankee girl no
longer creeps into the chimney corner
and ties herself to her mothers apron
strings when her best man knocks at
the front door, or turns as red as redl
pumpkin at hearing that live lord is
in the city. Like Beatrice, she has
discovered that "a lord is no other
than a stuffed man; but for the stuff
ing-Well, we are all mortal" No
lord-except the Lord Of hosts-has
any terrors for the Yankee girl. Be
sides, she has money-lots and cords
of it. There is no law of prmogeuiture
here no prefering boys to girls, and
when the parental shekels come to be
divided, she gets her share and signs
her own bank checks; so take her alto

teresting object this great country

outside influence and almost universal
prediction and prophecy against its
growth. The causes are not hard to
discover. The town is located on the
most beautiful natural townsite in the
United States. 1t possesses water
power unequalled, anywhere, for man.
ufacturng purposes. Within half
days ride OF it, by rail, is the largest
body of silver.lead ore in the world.
Is is the distributing point and
commercial center for all the country
that lies in every direction from it for
distance of two hundred miles.
Its climate equals that of any west
of the Rocky mountains, and supasscs
any east. Within a radius of so miles
and tributary to it-are thirty thriv-
ing and prosperous towns and villages
1t is the first inviting spot the eye of
the traveller over the Northern Pacific
rests upon after leaving st. Paul, and
the last after leaving Portland. 1t
is dependent upon no one. two, or
even three special features and advan.
tages, but possesses every advantage
that any city on earth has, except
navigation by water to the sea, and
these advantages--and not corporate
intluence-have made Spokane Falls
the second city in size in the territory;
as they will make it within twenty
years from this day-the largest city
west OF the Rocky mountains.

COLUM BIA?
country.

The REVIEW has received COM
munication, from II subscriber, sug-
gesting change Of name for our ter
ritory, from Washington to Columbia
giving as a reason, that "as there is a
Washington City, in the country,
matters--especially in the postal SER
vice--.will be mixed, when the terri
tory becomes the state Of Washington.
The difficulty suggested is not suffi-
cient to induce us to consider the pro.
position favorably; besides the change
would make it worse. Our American
habit of abbreviation would speedily
reduce Columbia to "Col," which is
now much used in designating Colo.
RADIO. We have already one Columbia
the District of Columbia, and that is
enough.
Vive la Washington.
