Between skating and sleighing at least
forty thousand New Workers turned out
for exercise yesterday. Central Park
never saw more glorious day, and even
when ten thousand happy children
danced around May poles on its velvety
swards under cIoudess sky. For what
are the soft delights OF II summers day
compared to the wild whirling multi.
tudes that swept about on the polished
lakes with sparkling eyes aid blooming
checks?
Tho scene on the main lake was an ex-
traordinury one. From the top of the
gray Bclvidero it looked as if u vast
swarm Of bees had gathered on a huge
wedding cake. Bnt the sound that rose
on the clear air was like the voice Of the
occnn- Every train on each Of the three
elevated roads carried IL new batch Of
hilarious skaters to the scene. As the
day wore on tho crowd became donscr
and wilder The voting house was
packed with sqWrminG, struggling hu-

General Wilson, a Washington railroad
lawyer, proposes something very absurd
when he asks congress to prohibit any
railroad company fromreceiving goods for
transportation through any foreign coun-
try, meaning Canada, to another place in
the United States. This scheme, which is
in the interest of the Northern Pacific,
would destroy the new routes to the east
by way Of the Sault Ste Marie. If Gen
eral Wilson's modest suggestion were
adopted it would be unlawful to send goods
from Great Falls to Duluth and thence
over the South Shore & Atlantic line
to places in New England or on the At
lantic seaboard. The only alternative
would be the more expensive and longer
route by way Of Chicago. General Will
son is behind the age.

NEW STATES.

Some information regarding new states
might be of service to congress- Since
the original thirteen colonies formed a
more perfect union," 25 states have been
added to the galaxy. Nineteen went
through territorial probation; four, (Ver-
mont, Maine, Kentucky and West Yer
ginia) were formed from other states, one,
California; had no previous territorial
government, and another Crexa9 came
into the union with the full rank of state
hood.
Of the 10 territories only seven were
subjected to the ordeal of further act of
congress such as the Springer bill would
impose on Montana and three other ter
ritories after compliance with the terms
Of the enabling act. The states thus adj
mitted are Indiana, Illinois, Alabama,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Three states, Nevada, Ne
braska and Colorado, were admitted by
proclamation Of the president, declaring
that they had complied with the condi-
tions of the enabling act. Five states
were admitted by act of congress without
any previous authorization or enabling
act. These fortunate states were Florida,
Iowa, California, Oregon and Kansas.
Michigan was admitted with conditions
by an act Of congress which required an
additional act after the condition had
been agreed to. West Virginia was adj
mitted in 1868 by proclamation in ac-
cordance with the act Of congress which
stipulated that the new state should ratify
an amendment to it's constitution relative
to equal rights. Texas came in as full
tledged state and was allowed to retain
her public lands. Tennessee was adj
mitted by an act of congress in accord
ance with the ordinance Of 1857. Ken
lucky was admitted on petition from
convention. Missouri's admission is con.
nected with the rise Of the anti-slavery
conflict. The state came in by means of
an enabling act, a congressional resolu-
ton with conditions and proclamation
by the president. Vermont and Maine
were admitted by petition and act of
congress. In the case of Ohio she walked
right In with her customary modesty.
There was an enabling act, but congress
never passed any bill to admit her.
The PRACTICAL point of all this is, that
there are three strong recent precedents
for admission by proclamation after the
enabling act had been passed, namely,
Nevada, Nebraska and Colorado. The
example is commended to the attention
of Mr.. Springer.

MAIL ROUTES.

The department has called for bids for
carry ing the mail six times week from
Ulm to Sun River, the service to begin
July list. If this programme should be
carried out the mails for Choteau, Dupuyer,
Blackfoot Agency, as well as Sun River
and Fort Shaw, would be distributed
at Ulm, or to put it exactly as the case
would be, at Mr.. Ulm's cattle ranch.
There is nothing else there, and the pros
pect for prompt and reliable mail distri-
button is certainly not very inviting
If this change was made on the recon-
mendation Of Delegate Toole it is a most
remarkable thing, as he ought to under
stand the situation and the interests of
the people Of the section referred to bet
ter than that. He has certainly allowed
himself to be deceived by few disgrun-
tied citizens with axes to grind to the de-
triment of the people of this northern sec
ton. Great Falls is the natural point for
the distribution Of the mails in question,
both because of its advantageous location
and its Importance, and the TRIBUNE ven
lures the assertion that the postoffice de-
partment, when the facts are made known,
will not tolerate the proposition of hay
ing cattle ranch the distributing point
for the best and most populous portion Of
northern Montana.
