The Admission Question.

The question of the admission OF one
or more territories into the Union will
cause great deal of pulling and hauling
before it is settled. The proposition to
tack north Idaho to Washington Terri
tory and make the combination of state
which passed the Forty ninth congress,
bat was pocket vetoed by the President
seems to have had a very disturbing IN
fluence in the northwest. 1t has stirred
a sentiment decidedly iconoclastic and
to such degree that if the bills in con-
,ress for the admission of new states
were passed, the boundary line OF every
territory in the northwest corner would
be rearranged. The Senate has tour
bills before it. Mr.. Dolph OF Oregon
proposes TO tack the four couLties in the
northern part Ct Idaho to Washington,
and call the territory Washington.
Senator Turpic Of Inliana has a bill ad
uniting Dakota, Montana and New Mex
leo as they stand, and the consolidation
Of Washington with the Idaho pan
handle. Senator Cullom's plan looks t.
patching together the western part o
Montana aud Idaho. This would ado

If enc should crcdi. al that the Free
Press says about annexation the most
sansuine annexationist would despair OF
success. The Wardncr NecS chimes IN
and the Free Press reprints the mlsrep-
reservations OF the Ncms. Here follows
what each says. The Free Press says:
A Washington di.potch of January
Both states that the move to annex north
ern Idaho TO Washington territory has
been abandoned. 1t further says:
Governor Stevenson and Delegate Dubois
argued against annexation before the
senate committee on territories the other
day, and the dispatches report that they
did effective work Phillip Ritz, of
Walla Walla, and j. j. Browne, OF
Spokane Falls, are also in Washington in
the interest Of the annexaiionists, but
they will be more than offset by the
presence of Hon. w. j. Mcconnell, OF
Moscow, who is opposed to woman sun
rage and annexation.
AS to the dispatch Of the 30,h, it is
well known that the question was not
argued before the Senate committee til
the 30th of January, and was not ther
decided, and consequently there Was nc
