of the argument I urn ubout to present , tend
in c to show that the republicans , if ihpy

With the admission of Wyoming nnd
Idaho there will bo S3 senators and M'i mem

If wo would consider Montana republican ,
the republicans tuny easily sccuio a majority

doubtful votes incliucd to bo republican , nnd
which will bo republican if treated candidly

"Tbo first issue ot United States stamps

series of 1801 was called forth by the re-

ithere were a number ot stumps in the huuds
of southern postmasters who , thinking that
they would uovor bo called upon
to account for the stamps In
their possession , were uslug thorn
secure fiotn the United States government ,
tor which they return no equivalent Post
master General Ulalr , cognizant ot this
tact issued a circular In which bo stated
that all stamps ot a provlous Issue would
not bo accepted as postage after a certain
date , A short time wan given lu which to
redeem all such stamps waioh uftor that
data would bo valueless The series ot ' 01

wns at the time Of tbo marriage estimated to

took place in thd'Palaco hotel in San Fran

daughter of Lord'rH'erston of England nnd
widow of Sir Orenvillo She represented
herself to bo tbO'OWnor of 'a castle and a
vast tenantry in Scotland and a loi-dlv resi
dence in London : After their engagement
tne bride bctookj herself to London , whore
she said they woult } shortly bo marriea at

The Oregon controversy was not finally
settled until 187.2 , the emperor of Germany
ucting as arbiter , and llxingtho international
boundury as it now Is In 1845 the settlers
In Oregon , principally the thousand who had
lournoyod from Westport , domauded ofllcient
government , and n provisional arrangement
wus entered into
In 1844 Vnncouver district , embracing nil
of Oregon north of the Columbia , was
established as one county by the Oregon
government , lu 1843 congress organized
Oregon territory , and Joseph Lane was ap
pointed the llrst governor In 1852
tno logisluturo provided for five
counties north of the Columbia
river In that year a convention was hold nt
Mouticello on the Cowlitz river , nnd u mem
orial was.scntio Washington , uskiug for n
separata territorial government , to bo
organized under the name of Columbia The
concressioual eommittoo reported a bill with

however , a Kentucky member moved to sub
stitute the name of Washington on the
ground thnt Columbus was • sulllclently
honored by the name ol the District of Cot

In 1854 the first legislature met nt Olympia
at the call of Governor Slo
vens Stevens had the provlous
year surveyed a railroad Hue
from Lake Superior to Puget sound , with a
branch to Portland In Ins address to the
legislature , he spoke at , great length of tbo
necessity for railroud communication with
the east , from a point on the souud , over the
Cascade mountains His remarks uro suf
ficiently enlightened to bo read with profit
today , lie spoke not onjy ot tbo claims ot
Western Washington , but in detail or tbo
resources or eastern Washington , northern
Idaho and Montana , making favorable men
tion of the Court ' 1 Alone prairie and
Spokane plain , of the Colville , Walla Walla
and Yakimn valleys "
In 1852 began the publication of the I'io-
neor Democrat at Olympia I have looked
over its columns with great interest down to
1859. It was a four page sheet with bIx wide
columns , and was a really readable and pre
sentable paper There were at that time
only three organized counties north of the
Columbia , and tno numbar of people did not ,
in 1852 , exceed one thousand There were in
the territory three small sawmills , which in
two years increasetl to thlrty-thrao ; there
were , in 1852 , not to exceed a dozen trading
establishments , while in 1S54 the number
was fifty In Olympia , In lS'ii , In 185.2 , there
were twenty-six structures ; in lbOHho number -
bor had grown to ninety In 1850 the fourth
legislature mot m the new Capitol building ,
tbo same which is still iu use In 185J the
only way of getting iuto iho territory was up
the Cowlitz river in battoiux und canoes ; in
1855 a highway wns opened between Walla
Walla in tlio extrcmo southeast of Washing
ton and the sound , ever the Cascade moun
tains
In his inossago to tbo legislature In 1879 ,
Governor Ferry who bad been In that office
since lb73 said : "It is almost impossible to , '
enlighten the public mind in regard to tbo
climate und tno agricultural productions of
this territory The eye is cast upon tbo map ,
nnd when it is discovered that thu territory
is situated between the f jrty-sixth ana forty
ninth degrees ot lattitude , it is recollected
that the northern part of Maine is inter
sected bv the forty-sixth parallel , and it is
immedlutely , concluded'that tbo ulimuto aad
jiatgrnJjpxadUuiions ot _ Jho two _ locaU- .
tics are similar However , u Itor that
time this erroneous impression began
to bo removed The millguting elToct
of the warm Pacific current , and of iho
southesl wind , begun to bo understood , in
J834 Governor John C Squire now ono of the
senators from Washington , made a report to
tlio secretary of tbo interior , and as previous
ropoits had been brief ho enlarged upon the
subject The attractions of Washington ,
ho says , with Its glacior-covored moun
tains , its waterfalls , its majestic winding
rivers wlih their precipitous bluffs , its
mighty oxpunso of Island-dotted son , its deep
broad forests , certainly present n now nnd

Ho enters into a detailed and picturesque de
scription of the tcrrritory , of the agricul
tural lands cast of the Cascades ,
of the forests ot matchlosss timber
to the west , ot the mosses ,
lichens und herbs that everywhere abound ,
of the stores of iron and coal , and of the
abundauco ot game in the mountains nnd of
rnro ilsa and oysters along the westora
coast
There is a portion of Washington whlah
has never boon explored ; it is tbo country
ljlng between the Olvtnpio range and thq
Paciilo ocean , and extending from Puget
SouDtUto thu Quinult river The Indians
nro Ignorant and superstitious concerning It
nnd there are faw even ot hardy hunters
tules told about It Its extent is 11,500square
miles It-tooms with bonis of elk and deer ,
nnd the conger and boar nro said to bo
familiar features of its animal life
The Indians bavo a legend that It
was once inhabited by a powerful
race , more civilized thun liny tribe of Indians
today , and skillful in working gold and
silver , and oven Iron It Is for this reason
that they fcol a superstitious dread concern *
Ing it An expedition will go out the coming
summer , nnd thoroughly explore this region ,
which will , doubtless be ono ot peculiarly
favorable climatic conditions , and abounding
in useful trees und veirulnblu growths , and
perhaps in mineral ticasurces ot gicat value
The warm southwesterly wind that swoops
