New States.

The Territories have all been anxiousiy
watching the revelations of the census, and
one result of its publication, no doubt, will be
a demand from some of the most populous to
be admitted as States. Dakota looms up
most conspicuously of all, With population
of 1874, SOP. This, it is true, is oatdone by
Utah, with her 143, 9O7; but Utah has ex-
ceptional and unauthorized facilities for aug
menting her population. Dakota has more
than double the population of the State Of
Nevada. New Mexico, with her ll8, 4SO,
has nearly double Nevada's population, and
will soon be clanoring for admission. The
least populous of the Territories, always ex-
cepting Alaska, is Wyoming, which has a
little oyer twenty thousand people and pext
higher Gomez idaho. One of the most re
markable of the Territories is Washington.
This far-off northwestern domain contains q
population of rs, l20-more than the State OF
Nevada, apd more than half as many as Utah.

The Panama Canal.

Intelligence from Paris makes it clear
that NJ. de Lesseps and his associates in
tend to prosecute their enterprise in Pana-
ma without delay. What is the govern
mcnt of the United States going to do
about it? Will it take up arms to pre-
vent the Frenchman from digging that
canal on the plea of enforcing the Monroe
doctrine? Is that doctrine at all involved
in the prosecution of mere business en-
terprise? We have all along thought the
Monroe doctrine related chiefly to the in
reference of the "effete monarchies" of
the old world, with the governments of
this continent, and was of political rath-
err than of business character. But this
is merely a question of digging canal,
1t matters little, we apprchend, whether
the canal be located upon the Panama or
the Nicaragua route: SC it is constructed.
We have talked about it for qualter CT a
century or more, but talk is all that has
been done. Let us not pursue doG-ln-
the manager policy, and while we refuse to
act ourselves, refuse also to let others act.

to create Stir, but its efforts in that line
always fail to attract the serious attention
