Six New TERRITORIES TO BE STATES -
Our Washington despatch printed yes
terday gave Judge Holman's view of the
measures now before Congress provid-
Ing for Che admission OF sundry Terrific
ries into the Union as States. He holds
that Congress sh ould at once admit six
of them-Dakota. Montana, Washington,
New Mexico, Arizona, and Idaho. II is
not with him question OF party politics,
but solely a question OF their rights under
the law. Among the other Democratic
leaders who agree with Judge Holman In
this respect Is Mr.. s. s Cox, of this city,
who says that the Territories must be
admitted by the present Congress, and
that the Democratic party In the House

for admission Under the circumstances,
