Let us Have Two States.

VANCOUVER, w. T., Jan. Is, 1889.
ED. STANDARD: =
You are right in urging the admis-
sion OF Washington as two States.
The chief object of State organiza-
ton is local self government BY the
people of the commonwealth. Repre-
sentation in Congress is incidental
rather than a primary consideration.
The vote for President is not SO import
ant to the people of the State as their
vote for State officers and the men,
bers OF the Legislature. This is not
the prevalent idea, however. The
politicians who feast on the spoils of
Office and the boodlers who are after
the millions which. extravagant and
unwise legislation has drawn from the
people to the National Treasury, look
upon Statehood as a grand opportun-
ity for them : an order OF things where
in Legislature is chosen to elect
Senators first, and legislate afterwards,
and large electoral vote is deemed
valuable as power in bestowing
spoils. This is what is meant by the
Influence" of large State. The
minimum of such influence is more
desirable than the maximum. The
best State governments are not found
in the largest States. Admission to
the Union should be with a view
chiefly to local government. If that is
we'll organized and wisely administered
there need be no worry over its Gin
fiuence" in Congress or in the Elec-
toral College.
Twosections of country so widely
dissimilar and SO sharply divided as
Eastern and Western Washington
should not be included in one State.
This ought to go without saying
but nothing that can be said is likely
to check the wild rush with which it
is proposed to go into the Union.
Division would properly mean a little
delay and delay frets the patience OF
the average office-seeker. 1t is proba.
BILE that Washington with its present
lines, will become State within anoth.
er year, aud inherit all the evils which
haste in such an important matter
renders inevitable.

Mr.. Saml. Ward, Of Olympia, was

A stage is to be started soon which
will run the entire distance between

our new livery man, will put one on.
Mr.. Ben Gibson, who has just returned,
says the roads are not so bad but that
the trip can be made even now.
A small child of Mr.. Porter, of this
place, was buried on Sunday, having
died of membranous Group. Another

exposed to it here, but strong measures
are being taken by our Town Board to
entirely isolate the stricken house and
prevent further spread of it here.

Anxious for the Fray.

Three members OF the Legislative
Assembly met at the Capitol last Mon
dav-Mr. Weir, OF the Council, and
Messrs. Heron and Laughton, of the
House-and like the historic" Knights
OF the Goose" OF London, resolved
themselves into we, the common
wealth" by representatives assembled.
Miss Aver was appointed Clerk Of the
Joint Convention" and a memorial
was adopted asking Congress to make
an appropriation Immediately for ex-
penses Of the session begun under such
inauspicious circumstances. They
then adjourned to the second Monday
in February, and telegraphed the
memorial to Mr.. Voorhees,, for presen-
tation to the President and both
branches OF Congress. The Governor,
Secretary, Treasurer and Auditor like
wise testified to the necessity for an
appropriation for session before an
other regular session can be held UNI
der the law as it now stands-January,
1S91-and the last two officers tele-
graphed their reasons why the session
should be delayed till fall: the short
time that would be allowed for rrepar-
ing and printing the reports OF the Off
GERS, upon which much OF the legisla-
ton is based, and the fact, which
might be misunderstood from the
wording OF the memorial, that appro-
priations OF the last Assembly were
made for two years and are ample for
the present needs OF the public insti-
buttons of the Territory.
1t is hardly probable the idea sug
gested by Ledger correspondent,
that the endeavor to secure an early
session Of the Legislature was in the
interest of a capital removal, is the
true one; but rather that new MEM
bers, like ambitious birdlings, are anx-
ious to try their budding pinions at
the earliest possible moment; that
they wait with impotence the mo-
ment when their imprisoned elo-
quence shall fall upon the eager ear OF
an enraptured lobby; that they count
the days that must elapse before they
mount Pegasus, and start on their
fight heavenward, despite the melan-
choly warning to aspiring mortal rid
ers. Be this as it may, it is scarcely
probable that Congress will authorize a
session of the Legislature at time
when it is unexpected and unneces-
sary, especially as an act can be passed
at any time to provide for its assem-.
blage when needed. The near ap.
proach of Statehood renders delay in
such matters almost imperative. We
must adapt legislation to the new or.
der of things. We must make it, as
far as possible, conform to the con-
ditions that will exist under the SOW.
ereignty of State government. No
vember is early enough date to fix
if the interests of the people are to be
subserved by the proposed action.

What Shall They Do With The Girls.

A London letter announces the
startling fact that there are in Eng
land over an even million of girls who
are not likely to get married, as the
number is not only largely in excess
of the male population, but the mar
rying men are few and their number
is growing gradually if not beautifully
less. A prominent journalist suggests
as remedy for this state Of affairs,
that girls should be allowed to propose
and that proposing should hencefor-
ward be a business appertaining to both
sexes. The proposition seems fair
enough, but when it is considered what
small chance the men will have to es-
cape from the silken net, it will be
frowned down, to say the least. Imag-
inc for instance, beautiful angel fall
ing at yonr feet and imploring you in
piteous accents to make her the hap
piest OF mortals by uttering the little
word EYES," Picture sylph-like
fairy drawing your manly head to her
breast with a "come-to-my-bosom-my
own-stricken-dove" caress, while she
asks you to become her own. Talk OF
the result! It's more than flesh and
blood can bear. The surrender would
be instantaneous and unconditional.
Old Adams sin of acquiescence, SO uni
versally condemned, would be repeat
ed by every son of that illustrious pair.
It might accomplish the object, but it
would be at the expense of that
freedom of selection hitherto enjoyed
by the sterner sex, and SO strictly
guarded by the rigid rules of propriety.
If thousand or two of these English
lassies could be transferred to Wash
ington Territory, however, We think
they would not have to step aside
from conventional bounds to find hus-
bands after they had once become in
habitants of the country. Other Ter
ritories might do as we'll, and thus alb
sorb portion of Briton's contingent
which is now exciting so much phi
lanthropic interest.

Veterinary Surgeons Find the Famous
Horse Died Natural Death.

Veterinary Surgeons Find the Famous
Horse Died Natural Death.
It was reported yesterday that the
Veterinary Surgeons Messrs. Mordorf and
Wall, who dissected the body of the
horse, belonging TO G. K. Schmidt, which
died on the electric street car line in Allie
gheny several days ago, had made report
to the officials of the Pleasant Valley Street
Car Company.
W. NJ. Graham, secretary of the COM
pany, was called upon at his residence, on
Irwin avenue, Allegheny, last evening. and
when asked if the report was true answered
in the affirmative 1.-THE surgeons have
sent letter to either Mr.. Henry, the Presi-
dent, or Mr.. Ramsay, the treasurer, am
not sure which. stating that the horse died
from disease, and not from electricity. I
have not seen the letter yet, but that
lis the substance of it. We under
stand that Schmidt will sue us
for the value of the animal,
and even if had the letter 1 would not feel
like giving it to the public, as we do not
care about showing our hand until the
proper time comes. 1t is the most ridiculous
idea ever heard of to assert that the horse
could possibly die OF electricity. We
have the testimony of number
of electrical experts to prove that
the animal could not possibly be injured by
electricity unless it was in contact with the
overhead wire at the time it was standing on
the track. We will pay three times the
value of the horse to prove our case, for if
we did not everybody who owns a rick, or
broken-down horse would drive it out on
the electric tracks to die, and then swear
that it was killed by electricity"
