THE EXTRA SESSION

With regard,to the eXrta session Of
the legislature, Representative
Walker, of the Thirty-eighth district,
says to the Press-TimeS: "In reply
will say that | feel rather opposed to
doing it. The sixty days allotted by
law ought TO be long enough to get
through session-and do all required
legislation"
Senator Owings, of Olympia, writing
on the same subject, says to the same
paper:
In reply to yours Of the 4th instant, re-
speeding the necessity of an extra session
OF the legislature, | beg to say | do not
think the best interests of the public can
be sufficiently Subserved to Justify the
expense Of AN extra session. II the gov
ernor is correct in his position as to the
uncOnstltutionality Of the bills he vetoed
he has simply done his duty: he could do
nothing else and observe the obligations
OF his oath OF Office If he is not correct.
but IS satisfied that he is right, would he
not do the same thing ii the legislature
should re-enact the bills he vetoed?
II this should happen, will not the leg
stature, as now constructed, sustain the
vetoe,?
Others who favor an extra session
do so on the ground that so much time
was taken up by the senatorial cleo
ton and the Metcalfc and Sachs in
vestigations that the legislature did
not get through the necessary business
Of the session. Some desire to secure
the Hill amendments to the code.
others want legislation in behalf
of the lands granted by the
general government to the state.
while the Democrats assume an air
of oyerpowering modesty and are
sweetly non-committal. Representa-
tive Mcknight, in his letter, declares
that great amount of state business
requiring legislation was not reached
at all at the closeof the session, among
other matters legislation to secure TO
the state the lands apportioned to it
under the enabling act, to dispose of
the Hill code and many other import !
ant bills in the interest of the vast
majority Of the people, but which bills |
had not come up for final passage for
want of time.
He closes his letter with the follow |
ing remark:
l think, however, that personally speak |
ing, majority of the members would |
rather not be called in extra session as |
they lose financially the longer they have |
To remain in Olympia, /. e., they could /
earn more at home.

SELF credit in providing a place for its
hfe-worn warriors to rest in peace.
Every state in this Union should
nave place for those who have been
exposed in battle, and have heard the
whistling bullet and the screaming
SHE'LL. When Grover Cleveland was at
the head of this Union he seems to
have given the impression, by his
actions, that the old Grand Army men
were no more than the Unions pau
pers. He was old enough at the time
of the great civil conflict to have Of
Tered himself for the Unions glory,
but he could have been found at sa-
looms, sitting on beer barrels smoking
a clay pipe or five cent cigar and try
ing to make the citizens believe the
war was failure, that there was no
reason for it, and that it was incon-
sistent to eXpend so much blood and
so much money for four million col
ored human beings.
man who held those views, but there
were thousands of others of his stripe,
and these very men who said the war
was failure, by their actions put it
into execution by doing nothing but
find fault with the republics admin
istration.
They still hold these views today,
and are loud in their clamoring TO get
control Of the reins Of government
that they sought for five long years to
destroy. Thomas Jefferson was the
prophet Of secession, jefferson Davis
was its vehicle, and Grover Cleveland
was its ciaquer who applauded what it
had attempted and who desired TO re-
turn the rebel flag to its vanquishcd
upholders. They were all Democrats.
1t will always stand usin hand to keep
their following well in sight and well
in hand. If this is "bloody shirt"

Politics

Men want TO become educated. want
to learn just how the government is
being managed, want to know how to
vote, and, in order TO do this, it is
necessary that they should take an in
terest in all political matters. and 50
long as politics control the administra-
tion Of the country it is only right and
necessary that the people control poll
tics.
Everybody must dabble in politics
and it cannot be avoided if we want
good government. There are many.
not only in this county, this state and
this nation today who advise the
young man to keep away from prim-
aries, conventions and elections. Who
ever gives such unpatriotic advice is
far from being a sensible and worthy
citizen. If the young men and our
business men refrain from taking part
in politics it will throw the manipula-
tion OF public affairs into the hands Of
mercenary and entirely selfish poll
ticians, ward strikers and that ilk
generally. When this state of affairs
is brought about the people are always
poorly and often dangerously repre-
scented.
We care not how intelligent man
may be, or what his wealth is, his
first duty is, at all times and under all
circumstances, to attend TO his politi-
cal obligations. lie owes it, not only
to himself and his family, but he owes
IL equally as well 10 his city, TO his
county, to his state and to the nation.
1t is said Of one Of our most eminent
statesmen that he never goes to the
polls without taking off his hat before
casting his vote, and thanking God
that he lives under government that
is so free and so pure, and that he is
permitted to cast an honest vote.
IL would be well if We had more of
that sort Of spirit in the land and
among those who go to the polls to
vote: and we should all bear in mind
that beside the American republic.
twenty-three republics like our own
are today sailing upon the great politi-
cal sea. The eyes Of all these repub-
lies are on us, and We can afford 60
make no mistakes nor to hang out any
false lights along the shore that Others
may be wrecked upon.
Monarchies and Kingdoms are not
only jealous of republics, but they
fear them. The spirit Of our institu-
tions has been infused into the life
blood Of Europe, and we will not have
long TO live to see some of the old
monarchies and Kingdoms pass into
great and prosperous republics.

VOTE FOR THE BONDS

On May 2nd the question of bonding
the city of Fairhaven for municipal
purposes to the amount of $3.50. 900
will be submitted TO the qualified
voters OF the city. While lis accepted
as foregone conclusion that nearly
all, If not all votes cast, will be favora-
BILE to the issuing Of bonds. 1t is
highly essential, in view of the fact
that the number Of votes cast will be
printed on the face Of the bonds, that
large vote be polled, showing that a
majority Of the citizens and taxpayers
of the city are in favor of the proposi-
ton.
If you do not register you cannot
vote. Your registration certificate Of
last year will be useless in this election.
as no vote can be cast except on a
certificate issued since January 1891
To facilitate registration the Office of
Colonel Hakes, on Harris street. near
Eleventh, will be open from 0 a. m.
until 10 p. m, and all qualified electors
of the city are requested to register
without delay. The election occurs
on May 2nd and as the registration
books are closed ten days before cleo
ton, IL is necessary that no time be
lost in the matter Of registration.

Captain Mehun, of the p. and o. S. N.

day at dinner Captain Mehun was cary

sailorlike, he certainly carved with
rather heavy hand. When a plate
was handed to this lady, who will call
Lady M, she said to herself Out in a
tone loud enough for everybody to hear,

Everybody looked at Captain Mehun,
who had heard Lady Ms remark as

time, seeing that Lady M had nearly

The Song That Reached Their Hearts

A gentleman who was at a small hour
banquet relates: at is astonishing how
many business men are good singers. You
will find more men who can sing than you
will find women. At the affair of which |
speak there were representatives from
nearly every foreign country, our own
countrymen, of course, predominating.
And most of those present were singers.
A young student from Heidelberg gave us,
in its native tongue, The Watch on the
Rhine for which, of course, he received
the customary recognition. An English
man sang Annie Laurie an Irishman
The Harp That Once Thro' Tara's Hall
and Frenchman the 'Marseillaise.' Each
