following from the Chicago Her
aid well illustrates the feeling OF the
eastern press with regardto the admission
Of the territories TO the rights of state
hood. We have no fears, though. but
that Montana's population will soon ex-
ceed the limit set in the article, and
be eligible even though the proposed
legislation should become a law: "Mr.
Townsend, of Illinois, it is said, will
introduce a bill in the house on Monday
to prevent any territory from adopting
q constitution with q view to admission
to the Union unless to have a population
equal to that required to entitle it to a
a congressional representative. If such
a bill should become a law it would
shut out for the present every territory
except Dakota and Utah, they alone
haying more than 1876 900 population.
Montana-which is already moving to-
ward statehood-Idaho, Wyoming, New
Mexico, Arizona and Washington would
all have to wait for the honor of admis-
sion. The idea of restricting by law the
conditions as to population of admitting
new states to the Union is not @ bad
one 1t certainly would prevent the
formation of other rotten boroughs like
Nevada, and to that extent at least have
a good effect upon the political morals Of
the country. Nevada vas admitted in
1864, with a population of but little more
than 10000. The people demanded it
to relieve themselves Of a frightfully cor
rupt judiciary and other territorial APP
pointees whom they could not shake off,
and the dominant party in congress con-
sented because it needed the two repub-
lican senators who were promised to
carry through the extreme war legisla-
ton which the times demanded. Ne
vada has never had over 60 1000 popula-
ton, yet her state government is one Of
the most expensive in the Union. She
pays her governor $4,000 salary, her SUI
preme judges So, 900 and her legislators
So a day and 20 cent mileage. Her year
ly expenses for keeping up a show Of
state government are 1926, 600. Rate of
state tax, So cents on the 500. To make
matters worse, the population is dwin-
ding away until it is thought to be less
now than $4,000. The history of this
state, with its disgraceful "reminiscences
in politics, and especially elections for
United States senator, should GO far to
create a sentiment in favor of the our
poses in Mr.. Townsend's bill. No ter
ritory should become a state until it has
population and prosperity enough to
support the new relation with dignity.n

Railroads.

The following advice by T. r. Delano
to the young business men of St. Paul
and Minneapolis is worthy of consider
alton by the business men of Fort Ben
ton:
Ten years ago and the future possibili-
ties of that new northwestern empire
! were scarcely cOmprehended. 1t was
approached by the waters of the great
lakes at the northeast, by the Mississippi
river at the southeast, by the Missouri
river in the center, and the waters of
the Columbia river and Puget sound on
its western border. Slow transport by
stage coach OF emigrant wagon was the
land conveyance. And what is now
transit time Of twenty-four hours on
stocks of merchandise from st. Paul
westerly to destination, was then one Of
three months for the round trip by wag-
on trains. Living in St. Paul and Min
neapolis to-day are men who loaded up
the goods and took their way overland
with the ox-train line to the Pacific
slope, requiring from eight to ten months
for the trip. The land grants by con-
gress to aid in the construction of the
railroads has changed all this. and to-
day the transit is made in from four to
seven days, and at an expense to the
producer, gobetWeen and consumer that
makes the settlement of this empire
possible; that has induced thousands
upon thousands to go goin and occupy
the land already will induce millions
upon millions more to come in, occupy
and possess it forever. 1t is but nine
years ago that one Of our brilliant east
ern newspaper editors, writing a leader
for his paper upon the bankrupt condi-
ton OF the Northern Pacific, and st.
Paul & Pacific railroad, said, after re-
citing all about the country-all about
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Fort Garry NOW
Winnipeg), Portland, Seattle, and other
points 1T was a wild scheme to build
railroads from Nowhere, through No
Man's-Land, to No Place. That was
in 1874. In this year, 1883, the two lines
named, then bankrupt, now reorgan-
lied, have $500 miles in operation, good
for earning s per cent. dividends on the
cost thereof, with your city as their
present eastern terminus and headquar-
ters. The railroads have opened to set
Element this imperial domain, and, aid
ed by the navigable waters of the great
lakes and river on it's eastern end, and
by the nabigahle waters of the Columbia
river and Puget sound at its western
limit, have attracted the attention of the
world to its future possibilities; have
attracted the attention of other railroad
line constructors; have brought in the
founders Of Would-be rival cities, and
have stirred up to work with renewed
energy the business men of cities east of
you, who look upon you as their direct
rivals for the commercial supremacy of
this mighty empire of forest and farm
Of mines and mills. The railroads have
done it The railroads will continue to
do it. The oldest road, with its 1900
miles Of line, laid it's first rails in your

THE social event in Portland, Oregon,
On the 25th ult. was the marriage of
Law Yep, a wealthy merchant. He is
a widower, 45 years of age. He sent a
trusty nephew to China to select a bride
for him, and from a number Of portraits
that the nephew mailed to Oregon the
uncle made his choice. He made the
customary presents to the parents, and
they shipped their daughter to Portland.
After the marriage ceremony there was
a display Of fireworks, and the celebra-
ton was kept up for ONE days at a cost

city twenty-one years ago. The next,
now having 5000 miles of line, laid its
first rails about thirteen years ago. So
firm am [ that the railroads and their
water connections have done it, that [
deem it OF great Importance that you,
the young business men of the city;
that you, the prospective heirs to the
lands and great business blocks-heirs
to the great hotels and chambers of COM
merce-shall look to it that you do not
sit down and go to sleep O your good
luck, and, waking, find that the other
fellows have gone in some other way
cut the cake and carried away the
nlums.

A RECENT meeting of the Hudson
Bay company in London showed up
statistics which are not at all 1attering
to our northern neighbor--Canada-in
comparison with our own country. This
gigantic corporation, with property val
ued at 5 4,50O, 900, and an immense land
ed estate of 100000 acres of the best
land in the Dominion for sale, still has
difficulty in declaring even small divi-
dends to its stockholders. The United
States is charged with drawing off a
large part of the immigration which
would otherwise naturally flow from
Europe into the British colonies, as it
was shown by statistics that for a GER
tain term Of years the emigration to
this country was I, 800, 900, while to the.
whole number of British dependencies
it was only 2.5O0, 900. Even last year,

THEscattered remnants of Doc. Mid
