THE WEAKEST OF THE SISTERS.


Nevada is IN over tophoavy state
The New York Sun gives some very
interesting data, which shows an amaz-
ing condition of things:
Mr.. Harrison received TOSS votes, and
Mr.. Cleveland 5149, while forty-one citi'
zens of Nevada voted the prohibition
ticket. The total vote of Nevada for pres
idential electors was only l2,27S. What
population does that indlcte in state en-
TITLED to one representative in congress,
and to equal representation with New
York, Pennsylvania or Ohio in the senate
of the United Statesp The normal ratio
of population to voters does not obtain in
Nevada. where the social conditions are
such that males of voting aye are proper
tionately more numerous than in other
parts of the country. The fact that in the
same year, 1880, there was u census OF the
people of Nevada, and presidential eIec-
ton affords solid basis for com parison
and estimate.
Bv the census Of 1880 Nevada contained
62 266 inhabitants, and the total vote for
president that year was 81 ,660--about 81
per cent of the population, In eight years
the vote has fallen from II $3.50 to l2,27S,
Indicating a corresponding decline In Me-
vada's population from 81 266 to 3,0sO,
lut iuJttr IlRuTtb pTOudOlN cover Tue en-
tire population of the state at the present
day, including men, women and children,
natives and foreigners, Indians and Chi
nese.
The character of the population. as ex.
hibited by the last census. is hardly less
worthy of attention than the fact of it
numerical insignifcance. Less than one
third of the inhabitants were females
Only aoout one.half of tIe males were ma
tives of the United States. And out OF
the slender total of inhabitants not les:
than 1922 were Indians and Chinese
There were 1908 Indians in Nevada, ano
5419 Cinnamon.
We do not put these striking facts to
gether for the sake of discrediting one Of
the members of our glorious Union. tn,
state government of Nevada was erected
in 1864 for a political purpose, and the
event was altogether outside of the nor
NAL process OF evolution into statehood
but ii is certainly fact worthy of seriou,
study that, after quarter of century
existence as "A state, Nevada should show
population numerically inferior to tina,
of any of the forty or fifty counties of New
York; and, that at tbs present time, in
stead of advancing with great strides lik,
her lusty neighbors in the far west. sh,
should actually be losing inhabitants at 6
rate that would depopulate her before tn,
end OF the century.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

Paris is trying hard to eclipse all
previous worlds exhibitions in the
coming exposition which Is to be
opened there in May next. The build
iugs will be the largest Of the kind
ever erected of iron and glass, lighted
by electricity, and will occupy an inn
mense area--3.000 600 square feet, of
which 10000 will be allotted to the
United States. One of the great nov
elites will be the 1000 foot Eiflel
tower of which so much has been
written.
The exhibition is to be divided into
nine groups or departments, as fol-
lows First, Works of art. Second
Education and processes used sherein.
Third, Plain and decorative house
furniture. Fourth, Textile fabrics.
Fifth The raw and manufactured
products of mining, forestry, chemis-
try, etc. Sixth, Apparatus and meth
ods of mechanical industries. Seventh,
Food products. Eighth, Agriculture,
vine culture and fish culture.
Ninth, Horticulture. The French
government appropriated $1,000 franz cs
for the expenses of the exhibition, and
the United States government set
aside $250,000 for salaries of commits
sioners and assistants from our own
country. The exhibition will open
May 9th, and close October 31st (;
there is to be no charge for space for
exhibits, and these will he forwarded
from and returned to this country by
the commissioners without expense,
except that OF packing and unpacking,
while there will be no duties to pay
except ON goods sold or consumed. 1t
is expected that the number Of the ex-
hibitors will reach 10000, and that
the visitors will number 100000.

lshed on solid basis, and it will not
be long before the name and fame OF

shall be known in the remotest por-
.ion of the land, and no one will need
to ask, Who is there east or west Of
the Alleghanies who knows that there

good business ideas and experience.
He is much liked by General Harrison
with whom he has had intimate and
cordial relations for many years. 1t

THE oArIrAL OF THE NEW STATE.

An interview was published in San
Francisco with ex-Mayor Taylor oil
this city in which that gentleman is
reported as having said that "the cap
ital of the new state of Washington
will undoubtedly be removed to North
Yakima or Ellensburg."
Why North Yakima or EllensburgH
What's the matter Spokane, Mr.. Tay-
lor2 When you say that Ellensburg
is centrally located yeu have said all
in favor of the claims of that town.
North Yakima is entirely out OF the
question, geographically and other
wise.
To be named as the capital of the
new state city certainly should be
better equipped and qualified to de-
serve such honor and distinction than
Ellensburg and North Yakima.
Spokane is encircled by network
of railroads, going and coming from
every point of the compass, and more
traffic facilities are being added daily.
1t is the chief commercial city OF the
Inland Empire, and fast becoming the
center of trade for the territory out
side OF the Sound district, The popu.
lation has increased G000 in one year.
Improvements have kept pace with
the increase OF population, and now
we can compare with the most pro-
gressve cities of the Northwest. 1t
will not be long before Spokane will
lead them all. We have more and
finer substantial buildings in propoI-'
ton to size than any other city on the
coast, hotels that would be credit to
any city, and business houses as large
and as well managed as in New York
or Chicago. In short, as writer in
the New York Herald summed it up
recently when speaking of Spokane,
1.-THE cattle men from Big Bend and
Okanogan, the miner from Salmon
river, Colville and Cnur d'Alene, aud
lile IuuCDiiluii dud idIibcl aiNt iiuib
raiser and gardner and teamster and
logger and wo odman, from their homes
from fifty to 100 miles pay tribute to
the wealth, and might say splendor,
of the Gem OF the Mountains"
A capital city sho aid be within con-
venient reach of all, and where is there
another city in the territory that can
be reached easier and with less delay
than spokane?
There is no longer any doubt about
statehood as soon as the new congress
will be organized, and .he citizens
ought TO know by that time which city
they will choose as the capital OF the
new state. They might as we'll make
up their minds now. We respectfully
submit the name of Spokane Falls.

RGVlFW PUBLISHING COMPLY
A FALSE DEMOCRACY.

That political jugglcr and acrobat
Chairman Springer Of the house com
mittee OH territories, is at his ole
tricks. The amendment to the omni
bus bill, published in the REVIEW Sun
day, is delusion and II snare. Mr.
Springer is simply toying with the
people OF the territories. He is not tc
be relied upon in whatever he does and
says in this matter.
Only recently II report was sent out
that Springer was in favor OF admit
ting the territories. This sudden
change of front was surprising, but we
pointed out at the time that there was
something behind IL, which would soon
come to the surface. II appeared in
the shape of the amendment on Sat
urday. By its provisions delay OF
two wears would be caused, and then
we wouldn't he sure Of statehood, as
the plan would have to be ratified by
congress, which by that time might be
democratic. We have no fear that it
will be, but the future of politics is as
uncertain as the life OF man. Should
congress be democratic, what thenY
Why, republican Washington and
other republican territories would be
excluded until they could he organized
under democratic rule
There is not single good feature
in the bill or anne ndment. We want
f. statehood independent OF other terri
tories, not contingent on the rights OF
others, and we do not want to be
hindered BY any OF their local obstruc-
tions. The democrats wai.t to smuggle
in New Mexico, and keep out the
others. That is the whole thing in
nutshell. There is no use trying TO
hold out hope to the people. They
cannot secure statehood from this
congress. Their only hope is in the
new congress and the new administra-
tion. But il is not too early TO take
action now, and the state convention
at Ellepsburgh is not untimely. It
can prepare and formulate plan and
be ready to present the territory's
claims as soon as the 5lst congress is
organized.

A LIBEL ON SPOKANE.

The hired liar of the Cheney Senti-
mel is still at work spreading false re-
ports about the health of this city. A
short time ago he gave publicity to a
malicious rumor about the alleged un-
precedented death rate In Spokane
He had people dying at the rate of five
and six day, every home house of
mourning and every vacant lot pri-
vste grave yard. His latest is credited
to correspondent OF the Spangle
Record.
Those people who have visited Spokane
Falls of late, naturally wonder the reason
the streets are in such a terrible state of
mud. We, however, leave the question in
the hands of the city council who can per-
haps account for their natural macadam-
ized streets to be In such shape. Ii may
be as we'll to warn the people at the present
time to be cautious and keep away from
this unhealthy city as typhoid and pneu.
monia have robbed many household of
its bread-winner. the council although
satisfied with their own success. are doing
nothing and little think how soon one of
them may be stricken down by the un-
healthy slash and air filed with poisonous
gas from filthy accumulations.
Every one who reads the above
knows that it is base fabrication
and published for the sole purpose TO
injure the good name of Spokane
Falls The Sentinel has placed itself
on record as slanderous, unreliable
sheet. 1t started a false report, and
another paper, the Sprague Herald
copied it. The Herald, which has
some regard for the truth and its rep
utation as Il decent newspaper, after
being convinced OF the falsity of the
report, and that it had done an unten-
tional wrong, made a voluntary retrac-
ton. The Sentinel did not manifes3
the same spirit OF fairness and justice,
and not only allowed the SANDER to
remain uncontradicted, but repeats
the libel, knowing that it was giving
circulation to lie, which could in no
way benefit Cheney, but would do
Spokane much harm.
The best of feeling exists between
the people OF this city and our neigh
boring town. but We are sorry that
they are served by sheet which has
so little regard for truth and decency.

FIGURES THAT TALK.

The New York Tribune, after speak
ing Of the rights OF Dakota to be ad-
mitted as state, says: "The case of
Washington territory is quite as EN-.
phatic in it's way. The official can
vass shows total vote of 40,24S. This
is vote greater than that Of either
Rhode Island, Delaware or Nevada,
greater than that of the latter two
combined, and not far below that of
Oregon, its next-door neighbor. There
is as little doubt OF the republicanism
of this territory as there is OF its stabil-
,ty in all the elements of progress.
The republican delegate has 1871
plurality, and on joint ballot in the
territorial Legislature, the republicans
have 2S, the democrats 3, and the in
dependents 2 These figures are not
likely to be particularly gratifying to
our democratic friends, but we VEN
ture to suggest that the longer they
persist in their senseless obstruction
TO the enfranchisement Of the North
western territories the worse for them
these figures are likely to get.'
, 1888-12-20
THE LEADING QUESTION.

The statehood question is now the lead
ing question of the territory. General
Harrison and the republican party have
championed the cause of the territories,
some OF which have been eligible for
years. No state has been admitted since
Colorado in 1876. Now that statehood IL
inevitable, the democrats of this congress
are willing, it is said. to rectify their mis-
takes as far rs possible, by an early admis-
sion. Dakota, acting on the initiate, has
already called state convention, and has
sent a delegation Of her citizens to Wash.
ington. Spokane Falls, always alert and
alive to the issues OF the day, has called a
mass meeting of her citizens and suggest
ed that "a convention with delegates from
every county in the territory be held in
Ellensburg January 3rd, to send delega-
tion to Washington and to adopt and per-
admission of Washington territory .-Et-
lensburg New Era.

THE PRESS AND THE COURTS.

Minneapolis also has judge, Err
win is his name, who has taken the
newspapers to task for publishing the
proceedings OF cases on trial. The
wspapers, Mr.. Erwin said, are
granted the privilege of publishing
the details and testimony Of the court
It is well-known principle that
where newspaper is allowed to pub
lsh a report it must publish 1t fairly,
and after referring to the alleged
omissions of important testimony in
the reports in the morning papers, he
adds This is matter of vast inn
portauce. 1t stands menace TO the
court. 1t is such fatal omission that
the public will not understand the
verdict when rendered"
The Tribune makes this just COM
ment on the subject "The courts may
hold that the publishing OF reports by
the papers is privilege that they
may grant or withhold. The letter
Of the law may sustain this view OF
the matter, but everybody comedies
this to be fiction. The papers are in
court because the people whom the
courts serve want them there to repre-
sent the community and protect the
interests OF the public at large. The
press should not and cannot be ex-
cluded, because its presence is the
only channel OF publicity and the only
means of making constitutional
guaranty practical reality. The
press has keen perception of its du-
ties and responsibilities in this respect.
1t knows that any unfairness on its
part, when publishing reports of great
trials, Stands menace to the court
1t happens that the newspapers and
reporters err, Us do courts and jurors,
but such occurrences are singularly
rare exceptions. and in any event
much less frequent than wrong court
decisions aud stupid Jury verdicts."

joined with several others. among
them New Mexico, shiftless, good
for-uothing fellow, aud unless he re-
deems himself you can't come in, be-
cause the others will have nothing tn
do with such disreputable."
"Well, what must dor" SAID Sprin--
ger, in despair.
"Talk TO New Mexico. Tell him TO
reform and govern himself better SO
that he will be a fit companion for the
others, and you can come it,"

DEATH OFF JUDGE BOYLE.

The death of Chief Justice Boyle re-
moves bright and good man from
life. He atteincd great prominence in
congress, and would probably have
achieved greater distinction if it had
not been for his advocacy OF unpopu-
lar measures which were fsthered by
his marty. He was strict partisan, and
his reward for his faithful labors in
Cleveland's cause was the chief justice
ship OF this territory. He was an
eminent jurist, deeply lsarnad in the
law. and his death will be greatly Ia
ented. -.

DON'T HESITATE or STOP.

On Tuesday evening the citizens of Spo-
kane Fails held a mass meeting in that
city TO discuss the mode of procedure by
which Washington territory is to be ad.
mitted lnto the Union. Members of all
political parties and all sects and creeds
were In attendance; the gathering COM
prsed Spokane's most prominent men.
The mayor presided, and resolutions were
made regarding the application for ad.
mission and the most feasible plan for
gaining that end was discussed at length
by gentlemen present. A convention at
which delegates from each precinct in that
county are to attend was set for Thurs.
day next. and territorial convention will
be neld at Ellensburg, to which Lincoln
county will be allowed four delegates.
The work so Systematically started by Spo-
kane Falls should be carried out until
Washington territory is admitted and
placed on an equal footing with other
states.-Lincoin County Times.

Another Way OF Fixing 1t.

We have not come to the point of being
sorry about Nevada, at any rate the
case does not seem to us more mourpful
than that of the two Virginias. Nevada
has furnished good deal of brains to the
United States senate. Senator Jones,
though the silver man of the senate, has
been worth his weight several times in
gold in the public service. The annexa-
ton of few counties of California to Me-
vada would be good thing. II would
not be bad notion TO annex a few coun-
ties Of Texas to Louisiana and few to
Arkansas. We would be liberal in coun-
ties.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

IMMEDIATE, ABSOLUTE, POSITIVE.

Immediate, absolute, positive action
must characterize our movements flor
statehood.) There must be no doubt as to
our desires. There must be no uncertain
ring in our utterances. Mass meetings
should be held in every city and town /;
committees should be appointed to pro.
ceed mt once to Washington to press our
claims. Those committees should be
large and imposing. and should be COM
posed of the braniest men in the territory,
regardless of party affiliations. Let as act
with the utmost energy. and at once, and
the boon will be ours.--Seattle Press.
