THERE is little room TO doubt that North

Washington will he admitted to the sister
hood OF States soon after the meeting Of
the Fiity-frst Congress in extra session
early in March. North and South Dakota
together have a population Of over COO, 900,
and Idaho claims to have the population
necessary to the election OF ono member oil
Congress. The reports Of the Governors
OF the Territories 10 the Interior Depart
ment give both Montana and Washington
Territories an increase in population, and
Washington Territory an increase OF over
500, 100000 in taxable property in the past
ten years. The people Of Montana are esre-
cially very proud Of theirpublic school sys-
tenn, each city and town maintaining schools
OF the best class. Every child Of school ace
in the Territory is on the school-ron, and
the schools are in session nine months in
the year. Large emigration from the
North 10 these Territories within the past
few years has made them strongly Repub-
lican in the opinion Of Republican leaders.
With these new States in the Union there
would DO added to the Republican strength
ten United States Senators and at least ten
members OF the Lower House, allowing
four members to North Dakota and three
To South Dakota. This would increase the
Republican majority in both houses 10 a
