DEMOCRATS AND THE TERRITORIES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-It is suggested by
Democratic members OF congress who are IN
the city that some of the Northwestern ter
rjtories viii not have TO wait until the
Fifty-first congress for admission into the
union. It is conceded that the Republicans
viii admit these territories as soon es the
next congress is organized, and the Demo
cratic party will gain nothing by delaying
the mat er only a single year Therefore,
il is argued, the Democratic house
might as well consent to the admission of
these new states at once, and thus give the
administration the credit for it. If the
matter is delayed until the fifty-first con-
gress Dakota will come in as two states,
Montana as one, Idaho as another, Wash
ington as fourth, and possibly New Next
cOaS q fifth. Dakota is Republican and so IS
Idaho. Washington territory and Montana
have been represented by Democratic dele
gates, and New Mexico is Democratic.
Montana and Washington, however, both
went Republican at the recent election,
and Democrats here believe it was because
OF the refusal of the Democratic Admin
istration to admit them into the Union.
If the Republicans get the credit of their
admission they will all, with the
possible exception of New Mexico
co, feel bound to support the Republican
party. This would give the Republicans
zen new senators, concedlng New Melco to
the Democrats. Taking occasion to admit
these territories at the coming session the
credit will be due to the Democrats
An increased Democratic vote in North
Dakota leads the party to hope that the new
state to be carved out of that section of the
territory may become Democratic. Mon
tana and Washington it is hoped may be
induced by this sort of generosity to re-
turn to the Democratic fold. That would
give the Democrats North Dakota. Mon
taua, Washington and New Mexico,
leaving Idaho and South Dakota for
the Republicans. The beauty of
this argument from Democratic
standpoint, is that it gives the Democrats
two-thirds of the new states to be ad-
mitted. The fact remains, however, that
no sort of Democratic generosity at this
time is likely to further reduce
North Dakotas Republican majority,
nor induce Washington territory or
Montana to go Democratic. Repub-
icanS here believe that all the Democrats
might hope to save to themselves by such
"A concession at this time would be New
Mexico. The others will be Solidly Re
publican, whether the Democrats decide to
admit them this winter or leave IL to the
tifty-first congress.

CHURCH TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.

New YORK, Nov f9-The Seventh An
nual convention of the Church Temperance
society commenced today. Right Rev. C..
W. Whitaker, d. D., bishop of Peru, pre-
sided. Following are few extracts from
tie annual report: In 1887 the American
Church Temperance society was establish
ed. Its broad and scriptural basis was
laid down as union on perfectly equal
terms between those who temporarily
and those who totally alb
stained from intoxicating liquors
as Ceveroges. The true meaning of the
word temperance has become dwarfed
and narrowed from Christian self-control
to that of total abstenance from intoXi-
eating liquors. We laid down and amid
some oblOQuy have asserted the Inherent
right of every man to temporarily use or
totally abstain from such drinks. 1t was
not a popular position, but it
was in our opinion right and script
ural. We have avoided that tyran ny
OF public opinion which has exercised so
coercive an influence and has so largely
alienatea the sympathies of independent
men. With no extreme shibboleths of
opinion or action we were in a position to
consider methods of legIsla-
ton, whether restrictive or prohibitory,
and possibly of their effective application
to large cities like New York. The report
says where prohibition has been tried its
success was questionable.

HE NAVAJO RESERVATION.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, Nov. 19-General
Grierson, commander Of this military dis
trict has caused considerable unfaYorable
comment in New Mexico and Arizona by
his late report to the war department re-
garding the Navajos In one part of tn G
report he says: ''At present, at least one
third, and probably one half of the Nava-
jos are living outside their reserva-
ton" The report recommends an en-
largement of the reservation, saying
Under all circumstances, to attempt TO
force the entire tribe of Nava JOS within
the limits of tie present reservation would
be utterly impracticable, and any attempt
to accomplish such an undertaking
would meet with opposition of
an)SJ serious nature, and be disas-
trous to the interests of the people OF the
two territories, New Mexico and
Arizona" The report is announced incor-
rect, In that not more than one-fourth of
the Nayaios are off their reservation per-
manently. 1t is probable that every able
bodied Indian spends part of his time off
his reservation on predatory excursions,
yet, but few of them, comparatively, claim
to live outside. The renegade Navajos, as
class. are thieves and sellers of the
from the return of these thieves
to their reservation being "disas-
trouc to the interests of the people of the
two territories. New Mexico ond Arizona"
it would only be disastrous to the interests
OF few peddlers. That it is practicable
to put the Navaios back on the reservation
is beyond question. They have amply sui
fcient territory for their maintenance
within the present. limits of the
reservation They would be much
better off, because they would
have to work occasionally if confined, where
they could not steal from their white neigh
bors, and would be less subject to demon all
zation by whisky. What the people desire
NEST is the return OF the renega 1es 10 the
reser vation, ard if it is lot done speedily,
petition will be sent to Washington asking
ths reason and demanding their return.

THE QUICKEST OCEAN PASSAGE.

NEW YORK. Nov. 19.-According to dis
patches from Queenstown the Umbria
reached that port at 10 o'clock last night.
According to this the Umbria made the
fastest eastward passage across the Allan
tic on record. The Umbria first left New
York a week ago Saturday. but at 1:30 in
the afternoon in fog ran into and cut in
two the steamer Iberia so that one part
drifted away to the starboard and sank,
while the other part passed to the port
and 1oated until o'clock the next night.
The Umbria returned to pier Sunday
morning and had couple of small
patches put over the holes in her bow, then
at IL o'clock on Monday she started again.
At 2:45 she passed Sandy Hook, having
previously been aground in the main ship
channel for ten minutes. AT $3.50 she dis
charged her pilot, then headed away on
her course. 1t is from that hour that the
voyage begins reckoning time. Accord
ingy she crossed after allowing for the
difference in time between Queenstown
and New York in tho remarkable time of
six days, two hours, twenty-five minutes.
The best eastward passage hitherto made
was by the Etruris in April, 1888, in six
days, four hours, forty minutes. The best
westward passage in six days, one hour,
fifteen minutes for the Etruria- Accord
ing to all accounts brought in by ships
from over the western ocean, the Umbria
has had a bowling northwest gale boom
her along the whole week through.
