KAwEAH COLONY wRONGED.
Law Preserving Big Trees Works Hard
ship Upon COURAGEOUS Settlers.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 1l.-(Special. l-Land
Commissioner Croft has In his possession petit
ton addressed to congress from leading citizens
OF Tulare county, California, asking for the re-
peal of the law setting aside forest reservation
so that the big trees may be amply protected
against the depredations of settlers. The petit
ton is directly i'll the interest of the Kaweah
colony, and is signed by the mayor of Visalia
the county supervisors and the county officers
generally, and by bankers, merchants and farm
ers. 1T gives a history of the colony, and argues
that 1t was organized with only honest motives
aud that the land was taken up in good faith.
The recent law. 1t charges, was promoted by men
interested in the lumber trade, who want to do
away with the competition in their line OF bust
and the large tract set aside is only partially oc-
cupied by the Seqrofa giqdttea. II has never
been the purpose OF kaweah colony, the petition
says, TO devastate the forests, but on the other
hand its members consider the big trees to be OF
Tar more value as curiosities. attracting MANY
visitors annually, than as lumber, and besides
the colony has adopted n rule to plant one tree
tor every one cut down.
The petition is strong one, especially that
part referring TO the hardships endured by col
onlSts, and the hard work they had done in
building roads and otherwise improving an I'M
inviting piece OF ground that had always been
considered valueless up to the time the colony
took possession of IT, and it may have consider
probability that the law will be repealed, but as
much sympathy exists for these people bill
may be introduced to reimburse them for the
public improvements, mostly roads, which they
have made at n cost of much labor. such a bill
would probably be passed

NO FOURTH JUDGE.

The action of the lower house of the
Legislature III refusing TO grant to King
county an additional Superior court Judge
is TO be commended. There was absolutely
no valid reason for the creation of n fourth
judgeship, and il is difficult to explain the
movement in its favor unless il is based
upon the general theory that an office
should be created whenever it is possible
TO create one.
1t may as well be understood that there
is no necessity for fourth Superior court
judge in King county. The situation is
not such rs either to require or to justify
it. There are now three Judges, all of
them earnest, industrious and willing to
do full share of work. That three such
judges should not be able TO take care of
the court business arising in a county
with population of only seventy-iive
Thousand, is a manifest absurtiity. There
are few districts that have so many Judges
in proportion TO the population as we have
at present.
As has been said, therefore, the action
of the lower house is to be commended.
II is worse than folly--it is rank injustice
Ito create an Office where an Office is not
needed. 1t is TO be hoped that the move
ment for fourth judge for King county
has received quietUs and that no at
tempt will be made 10 revive IT,

THE woRKrNGwomEs,s HOME.

The movement inaugurated for the es-
adjustment in Seattle of a home for work
ingwomen is one that commends itself
moot thoroughly to public support, and
which is entitled to jhe sympathy as well
as to the substantial assistance of all. 1t is
to be hoped that the encouragement which
the movement will receive from the public
will be of nature so substantial that the
proposed institution will soon be estab-
lished on firm basis.
The proposed home should not be con-
founded with institutions for the reclama-
ton OF fallen women, or even with char
table institutions in the strict sense of
that term. Its object, however, is in the
highest degree charitable. 1t is proposed
to establish home where industrious
aud self-respecting workingwomen can live
in comfort and surrounded by Christianiz-
ing and refining influences at minimum of
cost. 1t win benefit directly that large
class of women and girls who are COM
PEELED to earn their bread by daily labor,
and who, by force of circumstances, are
deprived OF the comforts and the en-
nohling influences of home.
This movement is one which will appeal
strongly to the generous people of Seattle.
1t is in every way deserving of encourage
ment and assistance. That the noble
women who propose to establish this insti-
tuition will have the warm support of the
people of this city, the osT-INrELLIGENoEg
both hopes ard believes.

TnE LAST OF rHE GIANTS.


The death of General Sherman, which,
il is said. cannot be many hours delayed,
will remove from earth the last of the
great leaders OF the Union army All,
save sherman. who were regarded as gen.
erals Of the iirst or second rank are num-
berei with the dead, and the old hero who
now lies dying will be the last of the mar
tial leaders to leave tho country which
their valor saved
At the close of the rebellion the three
commanding military figures on the sue
eessfnI side were Grant. Sherman and
Sheridan v.ho ranked IN the order named
in the estimation alike of the public and
of military critics. OF these, Grant and
Sheridan are dead and the death of Sher-
man viii remove the last Of the great trio.
Lower in popular estimation than the
three named but still regarded as chief
tains of commanding ability were Thomas,
Meade, Hancock and Hooker All of these
are dead.
In the next grade came Burnside. Rose
Grams, Logan, Pope, Mcdowell. Schoheld,
Terry and Cook All but three of these
are dead
Following these is long list of able and
illustrious soldiers. Among them were
Custer, Fitzpatrick, Ord, Blair, Garfield,
Butler. Howard, Rawlins, and score of
others, few of whom are now alive.
The time is not far distant when the last
of the distinguished officers of the Union
army will have passed away. May their
peace be as profound as that which with
their swords they won for their country.

The action of the Idaho Legislature in

Senate TO which Mr.. Dubois had already
been elected, caps the climax of legislative
imbecility. That body of responsible

the bounds of belief Dubois was fairly
elected, and there is no reasonable ques-
ton that he is entitled to and will receive
his seat. Yet the body that elected him
only one month ago now selects another

told Dillingham; that he would give him work ii
he would 60 East John II Nctsraw provided

II is difficult TO understand the animus
OF these petty attacks upon Senator Squire.
II makes no difference to the public
whether Senator Squire paid Mr. nilling-
hams fare to Washington or whether Mr..
Dillingham; paid his own fare. The trans
action was a private one between those
gentlemen, and probably no one but they
know or care anything about il.
As 10 the second part Of the story-that

ASSIGNED HIS CLAIM TO MILLIONS.
ulegitimate Son OF Davis Sells Interest
to His Brother.

to His Brother.
BUTTE, Mont, Feb 11.-lSpeeial. Much ex-
element exists today among those interested in
the Davis will case over the filing of an assign
ment of interest by Thomas Jefferson Davis to
John A. Davis. The former is an illegitimate
son of the deceased millionaire, living at selma,
Van Buren, county, Ia, while John A. Davis, OF
Butte, is the chief beneficiary of this alleged
will on the genuineness of which hinges the
present contest If the will is proven Thomas
jefferson would receive annuity according
to the terms of the will, while If it is found
fraudulent Thomas jefferson would be next
best claimant to the estate If he could prove his
sonship
Thomas jefferson DAVIS is. however, a young
man, and like his alleged father In his young
days. trifie wild, and he does not like waiting
until the Davis case is ended before getting the
riches, particularly as he may be an old man
before the controversy Is over, SO today he
assigned to John A. Davis whatever interest he
is entitled to under the will of A. ]. Davis now
discovered, or under any will that may be here
after discovered, and all interest in all the
property OF his supposed father. The price is
not known. 1t is stated as valuable con-
sideration," and is said by the attorney in the
case to be only 100000
Judge Stapleton, the lads attorney, declared
that the assignment was made without his
knowledge, and that it is "a breach of a contract
made last spring by which the young mans in
terests were joined with those of the contestants
of the case.
There are several other illegitimate sons and
daughters, but il is doubtful If their claims are
good enough to make the purchase of their in
terests probable.

Puget Sound have already acquiesced in
this decision. Although, of course, the
claims of other locations have been pre-
scented in the past, all are now satisfied TO
accept the decision twice rendered in favor
OF Port Orchard. What is wanted is a
navy yard on Puget Sound, and the irnrne-
date location is not matter of vital i'm
portance
The people Of the entire Sound. indeed
Of the entire state, are. therefore, TO be
congratulated ON the action Of the Senate,
which probably fixes definitely the loca-
ton Of the future navy yard.
