GENERAL HARR1soN.s ADMINISTRATION.

Present indications are that General Harri.
sons administration will be exceptional and
historic in a marked degree. To begin with, it
will be the first administration in the second
century of the Republic. His Inauguration
will occur on the o~ne-hundreth anniversary
Of the going into effect of the Constitution.
This date, by the way, was arbitrary. After
the Constitution had been duly ratified by the
States, Congress passed an act, in September,
1888, fixing the first Wednesday in March of
the ensuing year as the time for putting in
operation the new government it created.
This day happened to be the 4th of March,
which thereby became the beginning of the
presidential term and of the congressional
year. the first year Of the new administra-
ton will. therefore, be a year of centennial
anniversaries. Arrangements are already on
foot for the celebration of the adoption of the
Constitution on a scale of dignity and
grandeur BETTING the event There will be
something of historic fitness in the fact that
a great-grandson of a signer Of the Declare
ton of Independence and a member of the
Virginia convention that ratified the Consti-
tuition, will be President when the one-hun-
dredth anniversary is celebrated.
His administration is also likely to be made
historic by the admission of new States. It
is reasonably certain That the two Dakotas,
Washington and Montana will be admitted,
and probably Idaho and New Mexico. There
have been as many as four new States admit
ted during one administration before, but
never five or six. The States of Indiana,
Mississippi, illinois and Alabama were admit
ted during Monroe's first administration, from
1916 to 1920, and the States of Florida, Iowa,
Texas and Wisconsin during Folks admins
~tration, from 1916 to 1949. These are the
only two instances in which four new States
have been admitted during one administra-
ton, and if there should be FIVE or six admit
ted during President Harrison's, it would
break the record. Since the Republican party
came into power six States have been ad-
mitted, viz: Kansas, in 1861; West Virginia,
in 1862; Nevada, in 1864; Nebraska, in 1867,
and Colorado. in 1876. General Harrison
will, undoubtedly, sign more acts Of admis-
sion than any other Republican President.
Another important event fixed by law will
fall during his administration viz: the decen-
NAL census and consequent reapportionment
for Congress. 1t is impossible accurately to
forecast the political consequences attaching
to this event. but they are likely to be very
important and far-reaching. The census will
give the United States a new rating among
the nations as to population and wealth, will
readjust the relative rank of the States, fix
the center of population for the next ten
years, and furnish a mass Of valuable stats
tics as to the material progress and develop
ment of the country. Altogether, General
Harrison's administration is likely to be full
of great events and great opportunities. We
predict that it will also be prolific Of great
results.

The Prohibition vote in Missouri was
1854; and before election innocent third
partyites who were not up to the tricks Of
their party leaders, actually talked about
carrying the State. The fact was that
Brooks, st. John and the rest did not think
the Missouri Democracy needed any aid, and
therefore devoted themselves to lowering
the Republican vote in the doubtful States.
