family were in despair, and some one
suggested sending it 10 the auction.

The Everlasting Light.
BY REV. THOMAS HILL, d. d.

All-holy. everything onel
With uncreated splendor bright!
Darkness may blot from heaven the sun
Thou art my everlasting light
Let every star withhold its ray;
Clouds hide the earth and sky from sight
Fearless / still pursue my way
Toward thee, my everlasting light.
Thou art the only source of day;
Forgetting Thee alone is night;
All things for which we hope or pray
Flow from thine everlasting light.
Still nearer Thee my soul would rise;
Thus she attains her highest fight;
And as the eagle sunward flies,
Seeks Thee. her everlasting light.

A Lesson Worth Learning.

New York Sun: Those who are 80
greatly surprised by the result of the
election in Brooklyn may gain light by
examining the neighborhbods where the
Democratic losses were greatest.
These neighborhoods are peopled by
skilled mechanics, who earn from $15 to
$21 week working in factories of various
sorts. They are an intelligent lot of men.
Many of them read the technical papers
devoted to the business of, trades AZ we'll
as the political journals Of the day. They
do not need the advice of campaign ora
tors when deciding how they shall vote.
The educational campaign excited their
contempt, and they voted for what they
believed 10 be the interests of their guilds.
In the brown-stone districts Cleveland
held his own. In the tenements he made
gains; but in the districts of small homes
those gains were knocked higher than
Gilderoy's kite.

there were in the state of New York. He

We observe that while young Mr.. Doe
was trapsing around Congressman Cas-
Wells agricultural district trying to set
the stubble fields on fire and bring out
the farmer vote, Mr.. Does home city of
GAINESVILLE was giving Mr.. Caswell ballots
which he didn't ask or expect. This is
certainly unfortunate. J.IB. Doe, Jr., is
as handsome man as ever commanded a
militia company with full quota of sixty
five men in times of peace, and the Dem
ocrats should not have stultifed him for
the future by sending him out toorganize
an army and command it in the field -

The New York Mugwumps are the
worst beaten crowd of all. They support
ed Cleveland for president, and opposed

that by which Cleveland lost it would

the opposition of the Mugwumps is worth
more to candidate than their support.

The editor of The Charleston Is. CO.
Globe explains the defeat of his parry as
follows: "The presidents exceptional
tariff message, in both substance and time,
was political blunder of great magni-

this, that it had the appearance of the
agricultural interests of the South at
tempting to dominate the industrial inter-
ests of the Union"

The Democrats say that the Republic
ans bought up" enough votes to carry
New York. If that was the case, there

purchasah!e vote is not found. This
seems to destroy that plea.

The Coming New States.

There are eight organized territories of
the United States-Arizona, Dakota, Ida
no, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Wash
ington and Wyoming. The Indian terri
tory and Alaska are not organized, except
in part as to Alaska. Many considera-
tons aside from population will influence
the new congress in clothing the terri
tories with statehood. The admission of
Utah, the home of polygamy, denounced
in the first Republican platform as con-
shutting with slavery "tbe twin relics of
barbarism," can not be conceded for
moment neither now nor until its entire
social and political condition is radically
changed. New Mexico, with a large ma
jority of "greasers' in its populations
people neither speaking our language nor
practiciug our habits of life-can not be
admitted. It would be as we'll to admit
Oklahoma with its Indian population as
New Mexico with its Spanish population.
Wyoming has prosperous ADD progress
i've people, and great wealth, but it's pop
ulatien is small, probably not exceeding
$4,000 at the present time. If it could be
admitted it would form 6rst-class Re
publican state in all but the number of
its people.
The territories eligible for admission at
the present time are as follows, with their
area and population in 1880:
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1888-11-14

Washington ....-. ......... ........ 691sO 75,116
The present population OF Dakota is at
least 100000. 1t will be divided when
admitted, with two United States senators
to each state and probably three mem bers
of the lower house for South Dakota and
two for North Dakota Montana and
Idaho have increased greatly in popula-
ton since 1880; and there is ne doubt Of
the eligibility of Montana for statehood
1t was organized as territory in 1864,
and at the close of the war its small pop
ulation was rapidly increased by settlers
from the South, whose homes and bust
ness had been destroyed by the war, large
numbers being discharged Confederate
soldiers. This cause made the territory
Democratic for many years. But large
emigration from the North has restored
the equilibrium of its population, and it
appears that the miners and ranchmep
are finally convinced that Republican
administration is best for them. If it
shall appear to be permanently Repub-
lican, its admission is certain. There is
more doubt as to Idaho, on account of its
small population, and the prevalence of
Mormon influence from the overflow of
Mormon settlers from Utah along its
Southern and most populous border.
Washington is all right, though it has
been Democratic in the past. 1t would
60 with the other Pacific states il admit.
ted to the Union, anG there is no doubt
about the suficiency of its population.
With these new states in the Union
there would be added to the Repub ican
strength in congress ten United States
senators, if Idaho should be included, and
eight members of the lower house, max
ing thlrty-six electoral votes to be cast
when the next president shall be chosen
in 1892. The total electoral vote would
then be 437, making PIG necessary to a
choice, of which the Blaine states of 1884
would furnish, as then, 1872, and the new
states Sc, making 21S in all, or just one
half of the electoral vote. But, by that
time, Indiana will have been made re-
liably Republican, together, probably,
with two or three border states. The new
states are coming. Chicago Journal.
