Socialism is merely . synono-'
nous term for universal coopera-
ton. Its primal object IS unihcaFI
ton. The uniting ofall races into
one brotherhood. This implies
the removal of sectional and al
arbitrary boundaries and with this
the obliterating Of petty spites
and animosities that now act like
scrofulous sores to the society at
large retarding progress and him
dering a sound and healthy devel-
opment of trade, education, etc.,
to the manifest advantage of
classes and the unmistakable i'm
jury of the masses. It is certainly
a grand thought-the entire world
speaking one language, which now
seems possible forming one great
commonwealth and under one
flag, the. red flag, the flag symbol
ical of equality and humanity.
The advocacy Of any measure
that has a tendency to assert the
inequality Of men or the superior
right Of some men to live on GER
tain portions of the earth, as in
stance the proposed laws for re-
stricting immigration under the
erroneous plea that it will protect
the American laborer from compe-
tition with European pauper labor
are founded on principles of selfish
ness, inhumanity and brutality.
The persecution of the Chinese in
this country by the laboring men.
is wrong and impolitic, and strik-
ingly inconsistent, especially for
anyone who is a follower of the
broad, liberal truths of socialism.
The socialist desires to reduce the
hours of toll, and with this object
in view, favors education, labor
saving machinery, etc.
The Chinaman is a being who
naturally is able to dol a given.
amount of work on less consump-
tion of food and clothing than an
American. He is something of
machine. He saves the labor Of
the Caucasian the same as the
steam engine and, railroad saves
the labor of the ox-team and team
sters, or the cotton-gin saves the
labor of the negro pickers for the
work of seeding the cotton. He
who saves any labor should be
welcomed here and if he does not
he should be allowed to remain
here undisturbed because he hae a
natural right here.
That he becomes the tool Of the
capitalist class is true, but so does
all labor-saving inventions. It
would be idiotic for laboring men
to fight against t.new inventions of
machinery or to contend that all
at present in existence should be
destroyed. But this would only
involve the same principle they
contend for when they endeavorl
to restrict immigration and expel
the Chinese.
Agitation should take place, but
it must be against the institutions
that manipulate the benefit Of
Chinese labor and Machinery.
If cooperation was established
the producer would acquire all he I
produced, and the only circum-s
stance that would regulate the
cost of an article would be the
amount ofiabor required to pro-
duce it.
This, with free land to the act
ual user, would settle the question
ofimmigration and all such.

From the foregoing it seems estab-
lished that the Legislative Assembly
have been clothed with full powers to
designate the time for the regular ses-
sion OF the Legislature OF Washington;
that the time for convening the next
Legislature is the second Monday of
January, 1889. 1t seems equally clear
that its members will be composed OF
the Councilmen and Representatives
elected ut the biennial election of 1883.
1t surely cannot be seriously claimed
that the members OF Legislature elect
ed November, 1856, are qualified to sit
in Legislature which meets in 1889,
especially as their successors have been
duly elected.
See. 1860, United States Revised
Statutes, provides that mo session OF
the Legislature Of Territory shall be
held until the appropriation for its ex-
penses has been made" Should Con-
gress, at the present session, fail to
make the necessary appropriation, the
act of the late Legislature will have
been defeated. Otherwise such session
will be held according to law, and the
legal and qualified members will bt
those whom the people shall have elect
ed at the biennial election OF 1888.

the lease at the latter price was con-
summated by an understanding with !
the Sons Of Temperance for suitcase.
whereby this amount might be still
further reduced. in the Spring Of 1855
Olympia Lodge came under the juris-
diction OF the G. l.. Of Oregon
1t seems that the embarrassments Of
the Lodge continued till March 5,
1862, when the charter WAS informally
surrendered, and the furniture sold to
pay its debts. April 18th, 1867, 1t
arose, however. Phpnix-like from its
ashes, and on application the charter
and books were restored. AT the first
meeting held at that date, c. c. Hew-
lit was elected n. G.. g. c. B!anken-
ship, V. e.. Jno. NJ. Hawk, T., and S.
W. Percival, S. The first meetings
were held in the upper story OF the
STANDARD office, and subsequently
Good Templlrs' Hall was secured for
permanent domicile. The prosperity
of the order in Olympia dates from the
reorganization of the pioneer lodge.
Its Redistribution was marked by a
rapid increase Of membership and n
growing interest of its members in the
order. In 1870, the Messrs. Hewitt
erected the building afterwards pur-
chased by the lodge, which has ever
since been its home A debt of about
200 was thus incurred bearing inter
est at IL per cent. per month, but by
good management the revenues of the
building after several years paid off
principal and interest, and it has ever
since been a very lucrative price of
property.
October 22d, 1872, Western Lodge
No. 6 was formed from a portion of
the membership of No l, with c. C.
Hewitt as N. G.; J. S. Dobbins, V. G. .;
N. Crosby, r. and p. s., and Robert
Mack, I. This lodge was likewise
prosperous, and when it was merged
with Olympia lodge, March 18th of
this year, its membership was 81,
which added to that of Olympia makes
it the banner lodge of the Territory,
with a membership Of 1876. and assets
valued at about $4,000. November
26th, 1878, the lodges in Washington
Territory formed jurisdiction OF their
own, with ten lodges, which number
has now increased to over fifty.
On April IA, 1875, Alpha Encamp-
ment No. l was instituted by S. d. G.
S. Noltner, assisted by several other
Patriarchs from Portland. II. G..
Strive was installed as c. P; N. S.
Porter, H. P; Robert Mack, S. w.; IN.
Crosby, Scribe; G. G. Turner, r., and
John NJ. Swan, J. w.
The building, now under process of
construction, will be in keeping with
the thrift and enterprise that has con-
tinually marked the career of both
lodges the past decade. It covers an
area of 60 by 100 feet, will be three
stories in height, constructed almost
wholly of brick, stone and iron, and
will be surmounted by tower and
clock. Its construction is under the
vigilant care of a construction COM
mittee consisting of Bros. Chambers,
Ostrander and Snyder, and superin-
tended by Mr.. B. F. Hartsock, archi-
tect and superintendent. 1t will be,
when completed, an. editicc second to
none owned by the order north of Cal
ifcrnia, and an object Of pride alike to
its projectors and the order at large.
A description of it in detail will APP
pear hereafter.

"Sir:-The two questions upon which the
Council have requested my opinion, understand

which the present members hold their seats?
% This question is not entirely free from doubt,
and owing to the short time have had to make
the examination. It has not been done thor
| oughly a. l could wish. The answer depends
upon the definition yon give to the word year,
In section fourth OF The Organic Act. The term
when used In law sometimes means Q solar or
civil year. or 1t may be applied to an indefinite
period Of time, as In q lease from year to year,
when II may mean day week, month or year, in

House can hold his office. to mean three hun
dred and sixty-fv days, then he must hold Just
that length of lime, neither more nor less; and
as Tor accidental circumstances the first election
WAS held on the 3oth day OF January, upon that
day, SO long as we are a Territory, must the old
Legislative Assembly go out and the new one
come In.

annual and biennial elections, and ii could moi
have been their de sire to prescribe all the details
In the nct, but rather to leave them to the Legis-
lative Assembly, and this we will see by an ex-
animation OF those portions of the act which
give the Legislative Assembly all the power TO
regulate elections. apportion members, and AZ
the time Of holding the sessions 1t does not
seem to me that any rule of construction would
be proper. that would restrict the Legislative
Assembly on so small matter as fixing the time
OF when the old Legislative Assembly should 90
out and new one come in. while it allows all
other details even OF much greater importance to
be controlled by them.
g Another fair rule Of construction is. that
when Legislative body use terms in an act that
have been previously construed, they are to be
considered as using them in the sense in which
they were ordinarily received.
- In the other Territories, similarly organized
10 ours, it seems to have been the practical con-
struction that the term meant legislative year,
