Prof. w. II. Ordway gave the second Of
the series Of entertainments last evening at
Congress Hall, introducing new and wonder
fulexperiments in mesmerism. Among other
features was that of singing by Madam
Vaughn, assisted by the Professor, which
proved very pleasing, as they are both fine
singers. The entertainment throughout was
one of merit and fun. The Professor brings
no subjects with him, but takes them from
his audience.

ing to do with the question Of full
fellowship in Congress of communi-
ties having the requisite recon-
mendations of population, resources
and governmental organization. Let
all acting upon the subject of new
States be independent of partisan
ship, and let us trust to the wisdom
of the great mass of American voters
for the prevention OF abuses.
If our systems of Federal senatorial
representation and electoral vote be
wrong, let them be amended, but do
not permit communities of American
citizens to be Disseminated against
or DISTINGUISHED for partisan motives
when they have in truth, complied
with the conditions preliminary to
the right Of Statehood.
In the natural changes Of controll-
ing sentiment in this country
it is impossible to toretell to-
toward what general policy a new
State will incline three or four years
after it is formed. The tide of immi-
grafton is influenced by considerations
in which partisanship has no place,
and new populations aggregated
from all over the country, re-enforced
by immigration from other counties
will soon take to themselves distinc
tive characteristics that no one car
now foretell.
Let, therefore, all action regarding
| the creation of new States be gov
erned by considerations, first, O
rights of claimants, and, second, o
the general welfare of the whole
country, without limitation by mar
row partisanship, determined BY
mere expediency.
The people are greater than the pc
Ilitical machines, and when any pc
YIitical machine undertakes to stanC
in the way of popular development
it will be sure to sooner or later en-
counter an obstacle against which i
will be dashed to-pieces. Let eacl
case be determined on its own merit
and let the political consequence;
take care of themselves.

THE annual report of the Secretary

is very gratifying reading. 1t is
shown that, so soon rs the ships now
in course of construction shall be
finished, the United States will rank
second among the nations In the pos
session of tunarmored cruisers or

highest characteristics. 1t is very
evident that the Harrison Admins

toward equaling that of Mr.. Cleve
land in good results to the country.
When the latter became President
the condition of the Navy was by
word. and reproach. Now it has at
tanned a standard of which the coun-
try may well be proud. 1t is phe-
nomenon Of politics, when the char
acter of the Cleveland Administra-
ton is considered, that it should have
failed in an appeal to the people.
Mr.. Cleveland not only worked a
revolution by his devotion to the
principle, ga public Office is a public
trust" but he also set an example of
efficient public service which will be.
come historic as binding upon his
successors. And we may be sure
that the historian will not fail to do
him complete justice. OF the men,
bers of his Cabinet who have dis
tinguished themselves, Mr. Whitney
is eminent for fidelity and energy.
His predecessors since the war were
inefficients, and at times the Depart
ment was full of corruption, but Mr..
Whitney has been business like and
thoroughly devoted to the interests
OF the country. 1t is to be deplored
he could not have been continued in
Office another term.

THE QUESTION OF NEW STATES

New York Star says: "The Demo
Gratis of Texas do not accept kindly
the suggestion that, as counter to
Republican scheme of making new
States out of Northwestern Territories,
their State should be subdivided into
three or four commonwealth.
The joint resolution of 1915, by
which Texas was admitted to the
Union, explicitly provides that "new
States of convenient size, not exceed
ing four in number may hereafter,
by the consent of said State, be
formed out of the territory thereof"
But the opinion of Texans, as ex-
pressed by the Austin Statesman, de-
clares that Texas will stand as 4
State, a proud and unbroken auton-
.pmy, large as one of the great mon
arches of Europe. And it is very
plain that, whether or not the Re
publicans obtain new States out of
the Territories, which they count as
politically their own, the Lone Star
will continue to shine with undi-
minished and undivided Democratic
luster.
| The creation of new sovereignties
within the republic ought not to be a
matter of partisan contention. There
should be absolute acquiescence in a
definite test of right to participation
in the sisterhOod of States which
would compel admission on applica
ton to be judged only by an estab'
lished standard. The citizens who
build up new communities are apt tC
be of the most enterprising element
in American life, and when they have
established their right to share fully
in the privileges of their fellow citi
zens, it should not be within the
power of legislative caprice or par
tisan maneuvering to deny them.
While the subject Of constitutional
amendment occupies the public
mind would it not be we'll to consider
one establishing fixed rule for the
admission of Territrial populations t,
the enjoyment of State rights?,
Whether a future Presidency il
likely to be influenced by the admis
sion of a new State in faver of one
party or another should have moth

MANUFACTURING IN THE SOUTH
Iron Manufactures Leaving New Eng
land for the Southern States.

The Philadelphia Inquirer quotes
a complaint from a leading iron
manufactures of Massachusetts,, that
manufactures are moving away from
the East, and goes on to comment as
follows:
The sum total of the matter, as Mr..
David A. Wells puts it, is that "most
of the essentials for successful manu-
featuring can be produced elsewhere
in the United States cheaper than they
can in New England and New York,
and to that elsewhere the brightest
and best of the Yankees with their
brains, their capital and their ma
machinery have gone and are going"
The South is gaining rapidly in
iron manufacturing at the expense of
the sections referred too. Since 1879,
so per cent. of the rolling mills in
Maine, SO per cent. in Massachusetts,
20 per cent. in Connecticut, and 90
per cent. in Rhode Island, have dis
continued operations. A few years

it is in Pittsburg and Cleveland

DON PIATT's latest within Is to
abolish the Senate of the United
States. Politicians in this country,
as a general thing are corrupt, but
we are not yet willing to admit that
allSenatorsare politicians, or that the
Senate is yet corrupt enough to be
abolished. Jefferson was a great adj
mirer Of the French one-house sys-
tenn, while Washington was very
staunch defender of the two-house
system. They often discussed the
question and much had been said on
both sides, when, at the tea-table
once, Washington turned sharply to
Jefferson and said: "You, sir, have
just demonstrated the superior excel.
lence of the bi-cameral (two-horse)
system by your own hand" 81!
How Is that ?' said Jefferson, not a
little surprised. "You have poured
your tea from your cup out into your
saucer to cool. We want bi-cam-
eral system to cool things. A meas
ure originates in one house, and in
the heat is passed. The other house
will serve as wonderful cooler; and
by the time 1t is debated and modified
by various amendments there, it is
much more likely to become an equit-
able law. No, we can't get along
without the saucer in our system"
