Careful inquiry as to the condition Of

cattle, is wintering. Mr.. A. A. Pierpont.

on the situation, and thoroughly reliable,
assures Us that from present appear

On the Columbia river the loss will he

Moses Lake the loss will he somewhat
les. This damaging report is not due to
. hard winter or TO any disease among
stock. 1t Is because farmers are crowd
ing out the stock men by fencing the agri-
cultural lands and watering places. While
the ranges have been greatly diminished
by the homestead settler, the herds have
rapidly increased both by natural increase
and immigration, with q result not sur
pFising, disastrous. The days Of large

Ward was known adventurer, smooth,

Fisk was Of fat purse, endeavoring to
make Il fAtter by fraud, but posing all the

litical change in the territory:
So widespread and overwhelming is the

tuted the living, burning issue between

pie in that election resent the delay In

suit. In the intensity Of their desire to
rebuke the democratic party for what they

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
AT. NORTH YAKIMA.


Covering under the anathemas Of the
Osi-IntelIigeneer, called down upon the
city Of North Yakima for presuming to
offer ''free" the accommodations Of the
city to constitutional convention, to be
held here May n. 1889, we call the alton
ton Of our readers to the following clip
pings taken from the Psi Of the 2Sd and
18th Of January.
'The people may call q constitutional
convention. "-P-L, January IS.
can untimely proposition. "-R.-L.,
January IS.
at does seem that the people should,
as far as possible, take the matter into
their own hands and push Il with vigoF
and earnestness. "-P.-I., January IS.
'Sfhe thing to do at this time, in our
judgment, Is to wait."-R-L., January
rs.
''Let the people Of this territory call a
constitutional conventions o. was done in
the case Of south Dakota; elect their del-
egates in counties and districts as coun-
cilmen and representatives are now
elected; send them TO q convention to be
held, say at EllensbuTgh, on the first
Monday In May next."-P-L., January
"But to call q convention at this time,
upon the motion Of North Yakima, .
would be q very hasty and
improper proceeding. "-P.-L, January
And thus we might proceed at length
taking excerps ct cross purposes with each
other from the editions Of the P.-I. Of
January % and 25.
As In the fable Of "the knights and the
double shield" does Il not make differ
ence to the P.-L. by what road il APP
proaches the constitutional convention?
whether the way leads by North Yakima
or through some mountain hamlet In
which the P.-L. has a peculiar personal
interest? The citizens Of North Yakima
don't care whether the convention Is held
in this city, Olympia or sheal. What We
all crave Is statehood. Our admission
is very likely, under present circum-
stances, to 50 over until 1890 or 1891.
Surely II will expedite matters Il at such
time we are ready with q constitution
framed and ratified and q full state ticket
elected. To assist this laudable plan the
people Of North Yakima called on the
governor, as the head man Of the terri
tory, to proclaim such n convention, and
offered as Q city its accommodation
"free" to the delegates, well knowing
that the expense Of such q convention
could not be 4 territorial charge. It is
true that the new state might pay the
bills rs q debt Of honor, but there could
be no compulsion 30 to do.
Congress Is vested with the sole power
Of admitting new states into the union
but there Is no reason why the territory
seeking admission" should not come TO
the doors Of congress full dressed and
prepared to receive the cloak Of state
hood. We have instances Of such In our
history. Two only we will cite.
In 1874 Iowa formed a state constitu-
ton, and then sent a petition to congress
asking to be admitted into the union,
and succeeded.
Our neighboring state Of Oregon adopted
q state constitution in 1857, but did not
receive statehood for two years thereaf-
ter, in 1859.
The people Of North Yakima are thus
not without precedent. They made their
