WASHINGTON'S SENATOR.
If. the Oregon, Washington and
Idaho congressional delegations can
"be persuaded to pull together, much
may be accomplished towards get
ting a fine appropriation for the
building of the boat railway at this
point. The Oregon delegation and
that of Idaho can be depended on,
but that of Washington is, to say
the . least, doubtful, Seattle anil
Tacoma dominate Washington poli
tics, and their interests are all
against the opening of the Colum
bia. In consequence of this the
senatorial election in that state will
be watched with much interest by
all residents of Eastern Oregon and
the country tributary to the Colum
bia. t
If the Sound names the senator, we
can expect no help from the delega
tion, for Wilson is already bound
band and foot and has never dared
pen his mouth on the subject of
opening the Columbia river. Spo
kane's interests are, or she thinks
they are, also opposed to an open
river, though not in the same degree
as Seattle or Tacoma. It is time
that our neighboring state learn
that while there is an Eastern Wash
ington and a Sound, there is also a
vast geographicaldivi.ion, heretofore
unrecognized by her politically, that
might be called the Columbia river
section, which includes Cowlitz, Pa
cific, Lewis, Clarke and Wahkiakum,
west of the Cascades, and Skamania,
Walla Walla, Klickitat, and a whole
lot more included in the Eastern
Washington division.
Fair play would suggest the sena
tor bhould come from Clarke or
Walla Walla, and we hope this result
may be accomplished. Levi An
keny's chance is at hand.
MAKE CUBA FREE.
.The killing of Maceo has stirred
America as it has not been stirred
since the civil war. The deep un
dercurrent of sympathy with the
struggling Cubans has come boiling
to ithe surface, and a million men
could be enlisted in ten days to go
to Cuba and drive the Spaniards out.
Congress will, in all probability, be
carried off its feet by tbe popular
clamor, and will take immediate
steps towards the liberation of Cuba
from Spanish domination. xThe next
ten days promise to .be eventful
ones, and if during that time some
thing is not done by congress to at
least ameliorate the condition of Cu
bans, then all signs fail.
The Spanish papers deny the
statement that Maceo . was murdered,
but the proof is plain. Weyler, it is
said, will deny it over his signature ;
but of what weight is the testimony
of a man charged with murder? It
is to be expected that he will deny
.it, but who is there will believe him?
For years this government Las
been policing the shores of Cuba,
and it is time, high time, that we
cease to look after Spain's interests,
and look more after those of human
ity. Cuba should be free, and this
country should assist in giving her
freedom.
CONCERNING SALMON.
A bill was presented to the last
legislature, and unfortunately beaten,
providing for licensing fishermen.
each-, and seines, traps and wheels
$10 each. To this the canners sug
gested should be added a graded tax
on themselves ranging' from $100, ac
cording to pack, and averaging about
$200 for each cannery.- It was ex
pected that this tax would raise, in
round numbers, from $7,000 to
$9,000. It was intended that this
money should be used in paying the
salary of the fish commissioner,
$2,000, and the balance m maintain
ing a hatchery.
It is now proposed to present sub
stantially the same bill to the coming
legislature, and it is sincerely hoped
it may pass. It will make the fish
ing industry self-supporting ; will re
lieve the taxpayers of quite a bur
den, and place the support of the
hatcheries where it belongs on the
parties interested directly in the
catch of salmon.
Senator Mitchell has introduced,
and will push, a bill providing for
the re-payment to the settlers on
lands within the railroad limits who
paid $2.50 an acre for their lands,
one-half that sum. Owing to the
condition of the treasury it is not
probable the bill will pass at this
session, and yet it is a perfectly just
bill. It would take quite a large
sum to make this re payment, and
the other demands on the treasury,
together with the regular monthly
deficit, will prevent it being favora
bly received. When things get in
better shape the bill will pass, and
those who paid $2.50 for their lands
will get half the sum returned to
them.
The president has gone duck hunt
ing in South Carolina. . It is said
that he is considerably fatigued from
the labor involved in the preparation
of his message. It seems from this
that his message worked both ways,
and, like the quality of mercy, was
not straired, but made all tired alike.
It tired him that wrote and him that
read.
