THAT EXTRA SESSION.

Events seem to be shaping themselves
SO as to give the governor a chance to call
an extra session of the legislature, with
out posing before the people as mourning
this expense simply to elect senator.
There are number of things to furnish
excuses. The Worlds Fair Commission
ers are kicking because their salaries are
now being paid with orders, which do not
bear interest, redeemable when the legis-
lature makes an appropriation for all the
expenses authorized by the Emergency
Board. Then there are number of laws
which have already been declared uncon-
stitutional. The road law is one of them,
being so decided at Kalama, recently, on
account OF proper provision not having
been made for compromising owners for
land taken Cor road purposes. Judge
Gordon recently decided the tide land law
unconstitutional, at Olympia.
There are other decisions we do not now
recall, but no doubt before winter comes
on more will be rendered, and sufficient
other excuses provided to make it seem
absolutely necessary to re-convene that
legislature which devoted the greater part
OF it's time in "scrapping."

route. That the Only grant was for line
from lake Superior to some point on Puget
Sound, and for branch down the Column
bia to Portland from a point not over
800 miles from its western terminus.
They got the right to change the main line
to the Sound through Portland, but failed
to build it, and the grant along the Column
bia has already been declared forfeited.
To settle this question they have caused
one OF our prominent citizens to be ar
rested for cutting timber on government
land, and in this way expect TO get a
hearing soon before the supreme court of
the U. s., in fact this seemed to be the
only way to get before the supreme court.
At their meeting last Friday evening
they had letter from Phillips & McKen-
ma, attorneys, of Washington city, saying
their chances were good, and agreeing to
take the case on it's merits. The govern
ment has issued no patents for these lands
to the railroad company, as we under
stand, and the question should be taken
up by the government at once and settled,
and if the Northern Pacific is entitled
to the land then give it to them; but if
it Is not then delare forfeiture and give
the settlers chance.
Another of their objects is to get roads.
Get the government to build them if they
can, but anyway to get roads. They are
circulating petitions now to have the
matter presented to this congress, in the
hopes that speedy action may be taken.

Forbear, you things
That stand upon the pinnacles OF state,
To boast your slippery height.
Ben Jonson.
THE RICH MANS SON.

History is full of instances where young
men from the abodes of poverty and from
the homes of those in moderate circum-
stances have arisen to positions of power
and influence, and have attained high
positions in the realms of craftsmanship,
art, literature and science, and who have
left behind them names that shall last as
long as history; and the current literature
of the day is full of examples and encour-
agement to such an young man. But no
one seems to think of melting to such
action the one born in the lap of luxury,
neither is history so full of his attain
ments, yet these young men do some
times acquire fame and position, and are
deserving Of encouragement to that end.
Such young man was Hamilton Fish,
who recently died in his seth year. Born
millionaire, che strove from boyhood
to make the most of himself as earnestly
as if he had not dollar in the world"
He was secretary of state under Grant
nearly eight years, succeeding Elihu B.
Wasburn who died soon after appoint
ment. Through all the reconstruction
period he was Grants able adviser, and
by his wisdom and craftsmanship solved
many knotty problems.
To the young man born in luxury.
while the strong incentive of necessity is
lacking, the time and opportunities are
greater in which to acquire those enduring
qualities that live in history, and that
help to elevate mankind. Lifted out of
the necessity of taking anxious thought
to provide for the daily wants, there is a
grand opportunity to become true
the people, unbiased by selfish aims and
ends. If there ever has been time de-
manding pure and wise craftsmanship it
is the present, when men with selfish
aims are Juggling at the reins of power;
when the battle is on which shall decide
whether this shall be government of
the people, by the people and for the
people, or whether it shall be govern
ment of, by and for the few, and the next
decade will witness marvellous stride in
one direction or in the other.
Young man Of wealth, are you fitting
yourself for the struggle? We appeal not
only to such young man but for him.
Not only that he may seize the opportun-
ity presented, but that he may be encour-
aged and upheld in striving to make
something of himself. This country
needs just such pure, unselfish statesman
ship as that of Hamilton Fish, and who
has better opportunity for it than the
Young man of wealth.

The State Press Association met in
Seattle this week, and on Saturday they
will attend the Portland Exposition as
guests of the Oregon Press Association.
These gatherings, while the social side
seems to predominant, and to the outsider
seem to be more of picnic than any
thing else, are productive of great good
in cultivating broader and larger views of
matters of public interest, and in enlarg-
ing the scope of the vision by coming in
contact with workers from all parts of the
state, and lifting one out of the narrow
ness he is liable to get into in constantly
treading the paths of his own little Co

The Democratic chairmen of commit
tees that have recently been deprived OF
clerks on account of economy, propose to
retalliate by cutting down the mileage OF
members. The time was when it cost
twenty cents mile to reach the capital,
but at present fourth of it will more
than pay all expenses, and thousands Of
dollars could be saved in this one item.
No one pretends for instance that it costs
the members from the Pacific coast $140O
for the round trip, and yet this is the
amount they receive, and we think this
a very proper place TO retrench.
