TIE HOUSE COMMITTEE on TERRIFIC
RIEs will report bills for the admission
of Dakota, Washington and New Mex
leo. 1t may seem little strange that
Utah, which has much more than the
requisite population, is not included
in the list But the question of the
admission of Utah is surrounded with
complications that do not exist in the
case Of any other Territory; nor does
the fact that Utah comes to Congress
with read ylmade Constitution, pro-
hibiting the practice of polygamy and
virtually saying to the Government,
"Now you let us in and see if we
don't live up to the provisions of our
organic statute" altogether relieve
the Congressional mind from doubt
as to the expediency of accepting
these terms.
However honest and well-inten-
toned the Utah Constitutional Con-
vention may have been in its action,
it must be remembered that States
are, or at least should be, sovereign
over their own local affairs, and a
State that is admitted on certain con-
ditions, even when these conditions
are suggested by itself, isnot admitted
ON plane Of equality with other
States. There is an element of doubt
and danger and inconsistency in this
matter, which, in the opinion of many
of the best statesmen at the Capitol,
cannot be eliminated until Utah shall
have first rid herself Of the odious in
stitution that has so long kept up
barrier of strained relations between
herself and the Government.
Much as the admission of Utah is to
DE desired, in view of her great natural
resources and the general prosperity
and thrift of her people, it is not diff
cult to understand why objections
should be raised to the legislation
asked for.

The ATLANTA Constitution points
with pride to Georgia's local option
law, as furnishing the readiest and
most rational solution Of the temper

WHY NOT ?

As Mexico is not altogether certain
of succeeding in her negotiations with
German capitalists for desired loan
Of S52,000,000, it has been suggested
at the Mexican capital that the
money be obtained of the United
States, not through individuals, but
through the Government direct; in
short, that the Government advance
the money as an investment.
Several plausible, if not convincing,
reasons may be ADVANCED in support
of the wisdom of this policy.
One is that so long as Mexico con-
tinues under heavy financial obliga-
tions to foreign powers, or the citi-
zens of foreign powers. which amounts
TO about the same thing, 50 long will
American interests in Mexico con-
tinue to be endangered, politically as
well as commercially, and the init
mate relations which should subsist
between the two countries remain un-
realized.
Another reason is that the United
States Government has the money to
spare, and the placing of this loan
would aid materially in defnitive
settlement, for the time being at
least, of various conflicting theories
and propositions as to the disposition
of The surplus.
Still another reason is that Mexico
would doubtless be willing to pay a
high rate of interest for the use of
the money, and, at the same time,
furnish entirely satisfactory security
for the repayment Of the principal.
We do not believe that Congress is
prepared to vote such n loan, and yet
it is by no means an unreasonable or
unbusiness-like scheme.
TO believers in the ifSviifest destiny
of the American Republic it will GER
tainly commend itself, for even as
suming that we were never compelled
to foreclose on the debtor and take
her into the sisterhood of American
States, the effect of thus coming to
the assistance Of our sister Republic in
her financial strait, would unques-
tionably be to more closely cement
the friendship of the two countries,
make them more nearly one in aims
and aspirations than they are ever
likely to be otherwise, and put them
upon enduring and immensely advan-
tageous terms of intercourse.
1t is as contrary to sound policy that
Mexico should be suffered to go abroad
for the replenishment of her ex
chequer as it is to permit any consid
cradle portion of her trade to 90 ir
the same direction, when by every
consideration Of geographical con
tiguity, political sympathy, and socia
relationship, 1t ought to belong to the
United States.

an alleged error in the refunding act

with the matter, which we greatly re-
gret for several reasons and princi-
