Gov. SENPLE says of Washington
Territory: It will present to the .is-
terhood of States q prosperous, enter
prising commonwealth with a popula-
ton considerably over 100000. In
my report to the Interior Department
l estimated the population at 1856, 900.
This was in September, 1888. Our
population is now over 100000, and
before the end Of the year immigration
will run it up to 100000. The peo-
pie of Washington will ever remember
the year 1889 as one of the greatest in
the history of the commonwealth, es a
year OF admission into stats hood, Of a
mild " inter- and great progress. The
new State is exceedingly prosperous.
It has. developed with phenomena
rapidity, and the growth has been
steady and substantial. Last year our
taxable property footed up about 1884,
100000; this year it VIII come close to
$lOO,OOO,OOO. The people who are
coming among US to make homes are
pcoi lie Of means, who have well-de-
fined ideas Of what they want. Some
take up land and farm for a living !;
others 60 into business, and all man
age to find some occupation.

UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN LAW.
Massachusetts, Now Ready to yote-LaboT
Party Left Out I'm the Cold.

BosToN. Oct. o2.-The time for fling
names with the Secretary of State to insure
the placing of the SAM upon the official
ballots at the coming State election ex-
pired at 5 o'clock this afternoon. One Of
the results is that the Labor party, having
failed to file its nominations. with the sig
natures required by the new law, will
find itself unrepresented upon the official
ballot. All Republican nomination papers
were in by 3 O'clock. and the Democratic
nominations that were not made at
the hou of closing were covered by
independent nominations of individuals
of that party. The Prohibionists. who
had been the most prompt in filing
their nominations. were still q long way be.
hind hand at the finish. Many election
dis tricts failed to present any cold-water
can didates. The list of candidates for the
executive council for the three parties were
fully completed.
Registration for the State election closed
tonight. The work has been greatly en-
larged and complicated because. under tho
new Australian system. the registrars were
obliged to certify TO lis indeDendent nonl-
ination papers. There were two distinct sets
for State nominations. nine sets for scna-
torial districts and forty sets for repre-
sentative districts. Each paper contained
from fifty to seventy-five names, and in
order TO be assured that these were all
legal voters. it was necessary TO 90 over ths
lists at the latest available time.

To Users of
Royal Baking Powder.

The public is warned against the
stories and so-called kitchen tests of
travelling baking powder agents. The
alleged tests are dishonest tricks
and the stories are false, their object
being to injure the reputation Of the
Royal Baking Powder, and intro
duce an inferior article in its place.
The market is full of cheaply
made baking powders, many ofthem
composed of alum, the proprietors
Of which scruple at no trick, false
hood OF illegitimate scheme, in the
effort to sell them to consumers
Housekeepers viii not need the
tests of baking powder itinerants to
teach them as TO the qualities of
baking powder, as they are already
fully assured of tie great superiority
of the Royal Baking Powder in
strength, purity and wholesomeness
by the best of all tests, the test of
their own long, practical use of it
IN the preparation of the daily food.
Protection from alum bakingpow-
ders can be had only by declining
to accept any substitute for the
Royal Baking Powder. Experience
has proved this powder of the high
est usefulness, and the Government
tests have established it as the pur-
est, strongest and most wholesome
baking powder in the world.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Francis f. War

has filed with the Secretary of the Interior
his report for the year ended June 80, 1889.
The population of the Territory il estimated
at from O., 1000 to 105. 600, az against 9.11S in
1870. The total assessed valuation of all prop
erty in 1883 was SSl. 4S1. 495, as against S11.-
1854 in 1850, and S. 24. 357 in 1870. These
statements, the Governor says. do not
represent more thar one-third. and prob
ably not moro than one-fourth of the actual
valuation. The financial standing of Wyo-

interest. are sold above ~ per cent.

to the settler, who can obtain no title to

of unsurveyed land which are valuable for
other purposes than agriculture. There are
immense oil fields. and coal beds. and vast
forests of valuable timber yet unsurveyed.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-At the special
session of the Senate after the 4th of
March there were thirty-seven Democrats
and thirty-nine Republicans. When Con
gress meets in December the Republicans
will have at least forty-five Senators. 1t is
not yet certain which party will get the
two Senators from Montana If they go to
the Democrats the Senate will stand forty
five Republicans to thirty-nine Demo-
Gratis; otherwise the Republicans will W.
forty-seven and the Democrats only their
present thirty-seven. With the West Viz
ginia cases in their present condition, the
Honse. without the members from the new
States. has 164 Republicans and 161 Demo-
Gratis. The five Representatives from the
new States add that much to the Repub-
Gcan majority. giving them 169 members,
a majority of which is only two more than
a quorum. Thus it will be an easy matter
for the Democrats to demand a quorum on
every vote, aud it will make legislation on
partisan subjectsa very difficult and almost
impossible accomplishments.
