Like all other speeches made by
Delegate VOORHEES, that delivered by
him on the floor OF the house recently
in favor of admission, and published
in the REVIEW Of last Sunday, was
good one. Although not as lengthy as
former speech delivered by him IN
the same hall and upon the same sub
ject, it contains many strong points
That was an especially strong arraign-
ment OF his own stupid party with
which he closed his remarks on this
occasion. Referring to his efforts to
strengthen his party in this territory,

THAT failed was not through failure
of diligent, determined effort on my own
part, and stand here to-day, in the
shadow of overwhelming political defeat.
to insist, with the same vigor and zeal
that animated me in the sunshine of po-
litical success that any further delay in
the contamination of this paramount re-
suit is an unconscionable usurpation OF the
inalienable rights of nearly three hundred
thousand American citizens
1t is no private secret that prior to
the late campaign Mr.. voorhees,, in
addition to his public. efforts, ,labored in
private for many an hour with demo-
cratic members of the committee on
territories and with other prominent
members of his party, and endeavored
to show them what a great political
blunder they were committing, even
viewed from a party standpoint, in not
passing an enabling act for the admis-
sion Of this territory before the late
election. Mr.. Springer, now that it is
too late to do his party any good, has
blossor ped cut finely in favor OF ad
mission
Mr.. Voorhees, ought to be proud OF
Mr.. Springer aud the sagaclty in gen.
eral displayed by his party leaders in
sustaining his efforts 80 handsomely
at Washington as the representative oi
this territory.

A REAL ESTATE firm of Yakima
(MacLean & Reed) put forth novel
and yet rather useful Christmas adj
dress to the farmers Of that region
The suggestions therein are applica-
BILE 10 other communities, as will be
seen by the following extract:
Believing that the year just drawing to
q close has been reasonably prohtable
one, and that the year of 1889 will be one
of more than ordinary prosperity to this
favored portion of Washington territory,
we earnestly call the attention of the pro-
ducer to the fact that cash markets for
your produce are being established all
around you. and that you can find cash and
ready markets for all you can produce.
1t is therefore consulting your own inter.
ests that you investigate thoroughly and
carefully and find what class of produce
will net you the most money, and from an
intelIig, mt standpoint cater to the de-
mands of the market. We particularly
call your attention to tobacco culture, be-
lieyine that time will establish tobacco
raising as one of our principal industries
Large and small fruits, melons and vege-
tables, sucn as tomatoes, caulifower, egg
plant, sweet corn, peas string beans, Will
always hold their own. Do not attempt
TO farm more land than you really need.
but cut your farm into ten, twenty and
forty acre tracts. Keep your choice and
sell the balance; but what you do keep,
put under thorough state OF cultivation,
aud you will soon be surprised at the re-

THE INDIAN RESERVATIONS.

There are millions of acres of valu-
able lands in Washington and the
other territories and states of the Pa
cific Northwest which are unavailable
to the public on account of Indian
titles. In majority of cases the res
ervations are occupied by II handful of
Indians who could subsist more COM
fortably upon less than one-half the
domain allotted TO them, if the remain
ing portions were settled upon and I'M
proved by white people. The time is
not far distant when the. government
will be compelled to adopt some means
OF remedying this great wrong. Vari-
GUS suggestions have been made, some
OF which have been adopted but the pro-
cesses are so slow rs to afford
general dissatisfaction. Under this
heading the following from the Wulla
Walla Journal explains case in
point
Many com plants have been expressed
by the people OF Eastern Oregon at the de-
lay of the sale of the lands Of the Umatilla
Indian reservation. In consequence there

case before the escretary of the interior.
who gave assurances that he would order
the first appraisement and cause commits
sionere to 30 appointed, as soon az the
com missioners Of Indian affairs reported
no further setback to exist. Hermann
followed up the case to the Indian office,
and an examination there disclosed no rea-
son for further delay, and then the COM
missioner at once reported to the secre-
tary and recommended the Immediate ap.
praisal preliminary to public sale of
lands, aggregatinR over 100, 900 acres, and
comprising some of the most fertile lands
in Oregon. The ''inside lands" Of this
great reserve. and which constitute the
diminished reservation. await allotment
in severalty to the Walla Walla. Cayuse
and Umatilla Indians. This allotment
will be made as soon as the survey is COM
pleted of the land which was added to the
diminished reserve by a special act Of con.
gress at the last session. :.

one OF the most important matters
now occupying the attention of the

Hon. w. IL Taylor, who always has

try by which it IS surrounded, called
the attention OF Hon. j. Is. Allen Il

from the delegate-elect a cordial

NOTHING short OF Inconsistency may
reasonably be expected to emanate
from q democratic source, but even
the benighted adherents OF that party
in the South are not prepared to swal
low without a grimace such nonsense
as this from the Nashville Americans;
A few among many of our manuiac-
turers were silly enough to believe that
the defeat of Cleveland was necessary
to promote the manufacturing inter
ests of the South. Just as We feared,
we find that his defeat, instead OF pro-
noting these interests, has been fol-
lowed by a paralysis which has fallen
upon great part OF the prosperous
industries of the South. Some have
tottered to their fall. Others will fol-
low.
In the first place il is not true that
paralysis has fallen upon great
part OF the prosperous industries of the
South, and if this were true the calam-
ity could not be attributed to the de-
feat of the democratic candidate, at
least until after the expiration of his
present term, and a change of policy
had taken place. On the contrary,
had such paralysis occurred it could
more reasonably be said TO have re-
suited from the democratic policy OF
the past four years than to contem-
plated change, especially in the light
of the fact that all industries were
prosperous under the republican pol
icy, prior to the beginning Of the
democratic administration.

Review,
Kansas is one OF the best states in
the Union, but is unfortunately al
fiicted with disease better described
as crankism than anything else. 1t
would be difficult to state who is re-
sponsible for the origin of this con-
tagion, but it is known that the germs
are nurturcd ipto life and reproduction
by the st. Johns and the Susan B.
Anthonys OF the present day. and
there is little hope OF the suppression
of the shotgun until crankism is erad-
icated; until members Of the legislature
are elected upon the broad theory OF
enacting general laws for the protec'
ton Of society, rather than Tor the
purpose of maintaining one or two
special laws, and until officers are
elected for the purpose OF enforcing all
the laws, and not especially those
which have their origin in crankism.

FACTS ABOUT FARMINGTON.
One OF tho Most Prosperous Towns in
the Palouss Country
FARMrNaroN, VT, Feb. 9.


the Palouss Country.
HARRINGTON, w. T., Feb. 2.
EDITOR REVIEW: Rome was built on
seven hills, and according to ancient my.
tholOgy, was founded by two brothers who
were nurtured by wolf. The beauty of
the old city has often been described.
Italian skies and climate have often been
eulogized, as being the most beautiful
and salubrious in the world. But those
seekers for the beautiful evidently never
travelled in this great and grand North
west. For tits fact beyond dispute, that
no man who has lived in this beautiful
Palouse lconntry in Eastern Washiug gton
could ever be induced to emigrats and
settle in Italy, under its beautiful sky.
And while have been in many of the
towns Of Eastern Washington, say with
out fear of successful contradiction that
Pennington has the most beautiful and
picturesque location of any Of them. A
spur of the mountains running down from
the southeast turns and makes graceful
curve around to the east and northeast,
being some four miles distant. Pine creek
with magnificent valley, extending on
each side of il comes down from the east
and stretches of to the west where ia the
distance, fifteen miles away, Steptoe Butte
rises up like q mighty sentinel, keeping
guard over the surrounding country.

Rockford, N the southeastern part
of Spokane county, is a busy and
promising town. 1t will soon have
railroad communication with this
city and will, no doubt, double in
population in the near future, as it
has fine tributary country and
thriving, industrious people upon
which to predicate this expectation.
Rockford is surrounded by one OF the
richest agricultural regions in Wash
ington territory, and this region is
settled by class of people equal to
any in the territory. Within
radius of twenty miles there is not
an acre of government land for settle
ment, or as much as three sections OF
railroad land for sale by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company. But there
are hundre dis OF homes OF thrifty, in
telligent and enterprising yeomen 10
Gated on both the government lands
taken up and the railroad lands. The
farmers Of that region pay perhaps a
greater proportion Of taxes than those
of any other part of Spokane county.
In Rockford. according to the Enter
prise, over 5000 worth of real estate
has changed hands during the past
six months. There has been ex-
pended in that time for public inn
provements over $500 and for resi-
dence and other private improve.
ments over $4,000. Such improve
ments now in course OF construction
wilt exceed in cost $4,000, and those
to be finished before May 1st will
amount to $3.50 900 more. The En-
terprise adds: "Rockford needs, and
will soon have more stores; more
hotels: more livery stables; more
hardware stores; also bank, or pos
sibly two, in fact all that a city of 1000
people can well support. No town in
the territory has a better prospect Of
soon jumping from population of
400 to city of 1000. With each
man buckled in the harness, Rockford
challenges competition with = fcity
in Eastern Washington" ~ is
the proper spirit, and with cohtinu-
ance of the enterprise and the har-
mony of action which have character
lied the people of Rockford in the
past the highest anticipations of the
most sanguine will soon be realized.
The REVIEW rejoices with them over
their past achievements and the
bright prospects for the future.

cities. While it may be true that the
rule OF Powell Clayton, supported oy
the national administration immedi--
ately succeeding the war, may nave
been harsh, II is equally true that Inc
occasion demanded firmness and fear
lessness on the part OF those entrusted
with the duty Of carrying out the re-
construction POLICIES made necessary
by the refusal OF those who had borne
arms against the government to accept
the results of the war While il may
be true that during the recent CAM
paign the Claytons and their republl-
can associates were somewhat aggres-
sive and made no overtures for recon-
cilzation, which they might have done,
after q national republican victory aud
in remembrance Of Grants magns pim-
ity toward Lee, even this does not
argue justification of the mob rule and
shotgun methods which eliminated
in the cowardly assassination OF john
NJ. Clayton. 1t does not justify the
democratic state authorities in swear
ing in all the members of a democratic
political club, to constitute company
of state militia, with power to guard
the polls and terrorize republican
voters during the election. 1t does
not justify the tyranny and usurpation
displayed in constructing elec-
ton boards composed entirely
of democrats, refusing to per-
NIT republican, who had been legal
ly designated as a member OF the
board, TO enter the building where an
election was to be held, and appoint
ing in his stead the commander of the
partisan militia. 1t does not justify
the murder OF Benjamin, for no other
oHense than insisting upon the right
OF republicans to vote at congress
sional election, or the attempt to as
sassinate Wahl, the United States SUI
pervisor. Nor does it justify the brp-
tai and inhuman treatment OF the
body of Clayton, after his murder.
These revolutionary and lawless, if not
proceedings, so long after
the close of the war, and after the peo'
pie of nearly all other sections OF the
country have obi :erated, so far as pos
sible, the feelings OF sectional strife
engendered by that bloody conf ct,
cannot be condoned on the ground OF
justifiable retaliation in the recollec-
ton of events occurring during or i'm
mediately succeeding the war, no
matter what wrongs may have been
committed then. For the conditions
are entirely different, the aims and
methods OF both parties are changed,
and the desire for peace should be
shared mutually. The necessity of
establishing Federal protectorate or
martial law is always lamentable, and
the exercise of such authority must
necessarily be regarded as refec-
ton upon the character OF the people
residing in the district to be 80 gov
erned, but il this state OF affairs con-
tinues il. Arkansas and the state au-
thorities persist in sanctioning such
lawlessness, it will become the imper-
ative duty of the national government
to interfere and provide means for the
protection of the people constituting
the minority and securing their politi-
cal and civil rights.

embarrassment, were drawn for trial, but ON
account of Chief Justice Beasley's decision at

paneing of jurors was of no account because
of a mistake in the title, they were postponed
