springer's Ultimatum.

According TO an interview had by
the Washington correspondent Of the
Omaha Bee with Mr.. Springer, chair
man OF the house committee On terri
tories, that gentleman appears still
disposed to adhere TO his territoris
omnibus bill. which proposes the sd,
mission OF New Mexico. The Illinois
congressman made IL plain that hi
motive was chiefly partisan, Tue re-
publcans he remarked, must take III
for greater fools than we are IL they
think that we will consent TO the ad'
mission Of four republican territories
and a ref.sal to admit one democratic
territory.n His assertion that New
Mexico has as many claims for ad-
mission as a state a. Dakota, or Wash
ington. or Montana, Mr.. Springer
ml-t know n. we'll ms anybody, is not
supported by the facts. Conceding to
New Mexico population numeri-
callv equal to that Of Washington or
Montana, there is very wide differ
enc. in the character Of the popula.
lions Quite balfof th" people Of New
Mexico are admittedly unfit for the
ohIiyati ius aud responsibilities Of
.tstehood and could not wisely or
safely be given the privilege o: state
cI,izepship, IL IL for this reason that
there Is republican opposition to sd-
mit,ing that territory at this time, and
no, because its vote Ia democratic.
That il condition which II would
be quite possible TO change with q
four years.
The chairman OF the house commit

10 the admission Of Dakota as one
state, despite the fact that represen-
tative convention OF the people OF
Of norh Dakota has just declared In
favor Of division, removing all doub

4 Pug Do. in a Fix.

Among the first class passengers on
a steamer bound for New Orleans the
other day was pug dog, which was
travelling alone and for whose trans
portation SIS had been paid. The por~
ter had been subsidized 10 take care OF
the dog, quite an easy matter. as puggy
was the most docile of his kind, gen
orally stayed put" and, besides was
a favorite with the passengers, whose
society he finally enjoyed without re-
straint on the hurricane deck. On the
last day at seaa cry of dismay suddenly
arose from the deck and that dog be-
came the sole object Of attention.
There was the pug, with blue ribbon
around his neck and the tightest of
curls in his tail, on the awning that
stretched TO the deck below, his head
pointed seaward, slowly, but surely,
slipping toward the Gulf Of Mexico.
He was a goner unless somebody
reached him, for he could ehot help
himself, and if he moved a muscle Il
would only accelerate his progress.
There was great scramble on deck,
and then, just as puggy's nose began
TO project over the side, a passenger
who had clambered over the rail
caught him firmly by the curl and
dragged him back 20 safety. The
news gave the poster a severe shock
and puggy was banished to the hold,
where he made the rest Of the journey
in solitude. Boston Herald.
