Tun injustice which, deprives our neighboring territory o the rights and privileges of statehood have oft en been remarked upon by Tins As toriak, and in the following from the Seattle Posl-InlelUgencer her claims are ably set ferth: By all precedent, and by the rights accorded to the people of the north west since the ordinance of 1787, by the terms of the treaty by which the vast territory of Louisiana was ac quired from France, and by every principle of justice, the people of "Washington should be welcomed in the Union as a state. The territory of "Washington, with north Idaho an nexed, is a magnificent region of 80, 000 square miles, reaching from the Pacific ocean to the Rocky mount ains, and extending north and south through three decrees of lati tude. It is not a region of fluctua tions, of mining excitements, of bub bles or fleeting shadows, but is and has been'from the beginning as per manently peopled as the New England states themselves. "Way back forty years ago the people began coming here to live. They came at first in small numbers, to bo sure, but they came steadily and in ten years had gathered in to the number of about 4000. They then, in 1853, weio organized into a territory, and it is this terri tory which now, after thirty-one years weary waiting, seeks admission to the company of states. The 4,000 resi dents of 1S53, despite a fierce Indian war, increased in number to 12,000 in 18G0, to 25,000 in 1870, to 78,000 in 1880, and now, in 18S5, to not less 160,000. These people are no longer scattered and poor. They have built considerable cities, numerous fine and flourishing towns, have magnifi cent and exceedingly productive farms, have opened coal mines and have the largest lumbering establish ments in the world. Five hundred miles of railroad have been built for the purposes of thoir transportation, while the ships engaged in thoir ocean commerce are among the finest afloat. Sixty newspapers are printed in the territory, and colleges and - high schools are to bo found in a dozen places. The territory is out of debt, and has been for years; ita institutions in the meantime being supported by a tax of 24 mills on the dollar. Its "wealth is represented by a taxable valuation of 354,000,000. Its commerce includes a vast number of items, chief among which are these: Coal mined, 400,000 tons per annum; lumber cut, 450,000,000 feet; salmon canned, 200,000 cases; wheat raised, 5,000,000 bushels; oats, 1,000,000 bush els; hops, 22,000 bales; wool, 1,000,000 peunds: besides vast quantities of po tatoes, hay, fruits, oysters, livestock, gold mined, vessels built, manufac tured goods, &c worth in the aggre gate almost as much as the articles named, if not acu tally more. There is no reason to doubt that we will go on increasing in the future as in the past. In 1890, at the taking of the next national census, a popu lation will be shown here of at least 250,000, and possibly 300,000 or more, and not less than 800,000 in 1960. Our past growth, our present solidity, our future outlook, justify these hopes. No other territory has been kept back like "Washington. It has been out down and domineered over, has been falsified and insulted until for bearance has ceased to be a virtue, and our people, like those of Dakota, are almost ready to fly into open in surrection against the ills that beset them. The temper of the people must not be tried too far. There is no reason why "Washington, Dakota, and Montana should bo treated in a manner different from the earlier ter ritoriesTennessee. Kentucky, Mich igan, Oregon or Nevada. They were not kept in this condition thirty or forty years, nor wore they required to have any such population as seems to be requisite with "Washington and other territories of the present day. The people have rights which neither political party can afford to trifle with, and which the nation at large should see to it are no longer iguored. It -would seem as if the wrong man bad been intrusted with the mineral exhibit of this northwest section, if the dispatches from Chicago report correctly the language of Mr. J. W. Virtue, whom this state aided in get ting mineral exhibits to the New Or leans exposition. It would be nat urally supposed that he would do what be could to advance the inter ests of those who aided him instead of lending his influence to trade from them. divert Seventeen new national banks were organized in this country during January. UxoFFiciAii news from Panama to the 5th states the country is in a com plete uproar. Communication with the interior is entirely cut off. Re garding the cpndition of affairs at Bogota during the past month noth ing is known. No word has been re ceived from there since January 5th. Official bulletins claim that the gov ernment force is triumphant every where, and that the popularity of Dr. Nunez continues undiminished. These reports, however, are not con firmed. Later advices state that Hernandez has abandoned his camp and gone to Garoa. Six thousand men are in pursuit On the 5th the government forces attacked Cucuta, and, after five hours' fight, captured the town. Many were killed on both sides. ExGLAXD has been pretty well served by many of her Irish subjects. The Duke of "Wellington, the con queror of Napoleon, was an Irishman. So is Lord "Wolseley, who suppressed the Egyptian rebellion and is now commanding the Soudan expedition. So is Gen. Sir Herbert Stewart, the victor in the late battles with the Arabs, whom yesterday's dispatches report dying at Korti. And so was Col. Burnaby, the knightly soldior who fell at Abu-Klea. The public debt of the Dominion of Canada is in excess of SSS,000,000, an increase of $7,000,000 in the past six months. The Canadian Pacific road is an applicant for another .ap propriation. An effort is being made in Boston for the protection of mackerel in the spawning season, the purpose being to obtain legislation from congress on the subject Legislation against the sale or gift of cigarettes to boys under ten years of age, lias already got through one branoh of the North Carolina legislature.' It is stated that the Canadian gov ernment has agreed to increase the duty on flour to 75 cents per barrel. Social Auction Sale This Bay, 11 A. Ar- R. and 3F. Ck Jocli. .
