These are the polite terms in which the
american greets the Patrons of Husban-
dry, who held convention in that city this
week. Isn't it surprising that respectable
metropolitan journal should thus sneer at
the presence of these representative farmers
of Maryland, in whose ranks are men who
arc the peers of any in the state in culture

New States.

Bills for the admission of two new States
into the Union have already been offered.
Mr.. ingalls,, of Kansas, urges the admission
of New Mexico, which had by the last census
population of lis, 430, consisting of 1903, l27
whites including $500 Indians and So
Asiatics, and 648 colored The Mexican ele-
ment is said to be pretty large and of rather
worthless character, so that it may be consid-
cred open to question whether the population
taken as a whole is fit as vet for the perform
ance of political duties Senator Window
has introduced the expected bill for the ad-
mission of Dakota, with boundaries including
all the present Territory of that name south of
the forty sixth parallel of north latitude. This
will leave about half of Dakota as we now
know it to be made into new Territory, for
which another bill introduced by Mr.. Window
provides the name of North Dakota Mr..
Saunders, who has also introduced bills COW
ering the same purposes. proposes the name
Pembina for North Dakota. The recent
census showed Dakota to have struggling,
floating and mining population, white and red
of about 1875 900. Considering the small pop
ulation of both New Mexico and Dakota,
nothing but political necessity" could sug-
gest their admission to position of equality

with population of |, 512, 606, or thickly-set
tied States like New York, with population
of 1888, $40. That politicians will not stick
at scruples is illustrated by the admission of
Nebraska in 1860, with population, as ndi-
Gated by the previous census, of 28,S41, and
Nevada admitted by the same party in 1864.
with population of 40. 000.-BdltimOre San.

$34O, 500, 5O7.

The aggregate of the estimates for the next
fiscal year is $40, $50, 5O7. This is between
forty and fifty millions more than were those
for the current year.
Enormous as this increase is the actual APP
preparations will doubtless outrun the sum
named. Last year, after a general cutlery
against the extravaganza of the department,
Congress, while cutting down some estimates,
appropriated, on the whole, great many mil
lions more than were called for. So it will be
this year. The appropriations may run up
well toward S375,000,000 or perhaps even
800, 100000.
The great reductions of the national debt
have ofcourse reduced the Treasury estimates,
there being less interest to pay, and pruning
away the Star route extras allows the Post
Office Department to ask less than usual for
prospective deficiencies. But the other de-
partments all want an increase, and the Int
rior asks double last years appropriation,
thanks to the arrears swindle. The War De-
partment and Navy Department call for sun
dry millions extra, principally on account of
the rise in the prices of food and other sup
plies, and the Navy talks of years install
ment on the thirty millions necessary for a
new fleet. The last Congress was a terribly
costly one for the country; there is little to
hope for vet from its successOr.-N. J. SIN.

The company have expended some $780,
900 10 prospecting their ground during
the last Ave years. but thus far with no
remuuerative returns, although very
good prospects have been met with In
the shape OF coarse gold, showing that
they are on the right track or will DO
