Whole number


The Central Committee at its meeting at
North Yakima had no means OF ascertain
ing the representation that the new county
of okanogan was entitled 10, and therefore
only gave IL one delegate. Since this ap-
portionment was made | am apparently
ere.ditably informed that the territory
composing said new county east about
oae- half of the entire vote of the old
county OF stevens, aud the County Central
Committee OF Okanogan County claims 10
be entitled TO oue-half the combined rep
reseutafion of the two counties, viz; five
deiegafr | therefore recommend that
the counties Of Okanogan and stevens each
elect three delegates, two 10 be entitled 10
one vote each and the third 10 half vote
in the Territorial Convention.
| also desire 20 call the attention Of all
County Committees and delegates TO the
Territorial Convention 10 the following
resolution of the Central Committee
adopted at North Yakima.
Rcsolued That the Central Committee
recommends that hereafter each county
be represented by all the duly elected del
eRates whenever possible for them To al
tend that IN case OF enforced absence OF
any delegate bis proxy shall be given 10 &
duly elected member of his delegation
only; and this committee further recon
meusis that this resolution shall apply 10
County Conventions as well as TO the

Bill Chandler, the notorious po-
litical trickster, has only been in
the Senate since the first of Decem-
Der, but that body is beginning to
smell bad already. He has intro
duced a bill providing for Federal
control of elections in the South,
the object being to prepare the way
for stealing the vote of the South
ern States. What grounds can this
notorious jobber give for such an
unprecedented law? What does he
know about elections in the South2
1t seems that the politicians who
are situated farthest North and those
who have the most unsayory repu-
tations themselves, are the ones to
raise the loudest racket about
Southern outrages. The Southern
States are just as competent
to control their own elections
as the Nothern States. Any mea-
sure emanating from Bill Chandler,
who himself has political repua-
tien so offensive as to drive a dog
out of glue factury, is not calcu-
lated 10 bring about reform.-E:r.

Lincoln Citizen.
There is a very general awaken
ing all over the State among the
Democracy, thus early. 1t is be-
ginning TO be realized that to retain
power in the State there must be
united and effective work. Its no.
ticeable with the State press that
there is much unanimity of senti-
mcnt as to method. With these eff
fective allies, the voters will have
little trouble to become equipped for
the campaign, providing they heed
the advice given. True, the press
does not arrogate to itself the right
to dictate, but to suggest, and it
may not always be right, but if .vo-
tiers would more generally follow its
advice there would be fewer defeats.
The Democracy should be alert this
year of 1883, for if ever the Repub-
licans were determined to make
stubborn fight it is in the coming
campaign. With good management
there is nothing for the Democracy
to fear; bad management may bring
defeat.
trains viii use the Chesapeake and
Ohio track to this place, but only
until the company can bridge the
Guyan River and lay its own track,
which will be south of the Chesa-
pealse and Ohio track. The right
of way through the Central Land
company's lands has already been
secured.
The bridge over Guyan River
will be located between the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Bridge and the
suspension bridge, and the track of
the Ohio River Road will cross the
Chesapeake and Ohio track short
distance below the river.

An Interesting Decision.

A very interesting decision has
been rendered in the United States
Circuit Court at Boston by Judge
Colt. The case was an action
brought by the Attorney General
of Massachusetts to collect tax of
s10,618 assessed in May, 1885, on
the corporate franchise of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company
doing business in that State, and to
enjoin the defendant from further
execution of its business until the
tax was paid.
The Western Union based its de-
tense en- the ground that the tax
was illegal.
First, because of it's operation and
effect upon a franchise granted by
the United States and used for its
benefit; second, because it is tax
upon inter State or foreign COM
merce; and third, because it is III
effect levied upon real estate loca-
ted in another State.
Judge Colt finds: "First, that
there is nothing in the act of Con-
gress granting privileges to tele-
graph companies which impairs the
right of u State to tax the property
or franchise of a corporation in the
manner exercised by the State OF
Massachusetts.
Regarding the second point, the
court finds that the Supreme Court
of the United States has decided
that a State statute imposing a
specie tax on each message sent
beyond the State was void so far
as it was tax on interstate bust
ness. In the present case. however,
the tax is imposed on the capital
stock of the corporation, and Judge
Colt can find no case which con
tains the view taken by the defend
ant. On the last point the court
finds that it is question of legisla-
tive discretion, and no valid ground
has been suggested upon which
this court for this reason has right
to declare tax so levied invalid in
whole or in part.-Register.

HurraIl Tor Hngg.

Our New Congressman from the
4th District, Hon. Charles Edgar
Hogg, introduced on one day sixty
three bills. Charles Edgar seems
to be getting in his ticks, but
would it not be generous in him to
give Snyder, Wilson and Golf a
chance? If each of the 325 mem
bers of the House should do as well
as our Hogg, 2O,475 bills would be
the sum totum of the proposed
measures over which our law-mak-
erso would have to scratch their
heads, or with which they would
light their eigars.-G reenJrier In
