IT should not be forgotten that I'M
niciiately before the election General
Harrison in letter to citizen Of se-
attic expressed the hope thss the peo-
pie Of Washington Territory Sonid
soon enjoy the fuII blessings Of Ameri-
can citizenship. This letter might be
taken as distinct pledge, i such q
pledge we're needed. that the president
eject VIII do all that Is possible 70
hasten the admission Of Washington
into the union.
Asa matter of fact, however, such
pledge was not needed General Har-
rison, while In the senate, repeatedly
raised his voice in favor of the adinss-
sion OF the northwestern territories.
He was the special champion OF the
bill for the division and admission OF
Dakota. He was also earnestly In
favor OF the admission OF Washington,
and made trip to the territory IN
order that he might view It's resources
for himself and be able to speak from
personal knowledge Of its qualifications
for statehood. while in Seattle he ex-
pressed himself unqualifiedly as favor
ing the Immediate admission OF Wash
Ington and promised TO do everything
in his power to secure favorable action
by the senate on the bill which was
then pending.
There Is no reason 10 suppose that
President Harrison win not entertain
the views that Senator Harrison
shampioned SO ardentiy. On the con-
trary, he will nnquestionabiy recon-
mend the admission OF the Northwest
ern territories in bis first message To
congress, and. as both houses OF con
fress viii doubtless DO in sympathy
with the administration, IL Is reason
able TO suppose that the admission OF
Washington, Montana and the Dako-
tas will follow as matter Of course.
The only danger Tics In the possibility
that the Democrats will control the
lower house, but that possibility-is al
most too remote for consideration.
II is safe 10 say. therefore, that
Washington Territory viii be regularly
Installed in her place among the sister
hood of States before two years have
passed. Indeed. If proper effort is
made, and II the Democratic majority
in the present house unbends snfii-
