ADMISSION OF TERRITORIES.

The debate in democratic caucus
over the admission of territories
shows clearly that there l. no ob>t acle
IN the way oi early admission of ~ev-
eral oi the terrii Dries save that oil
political advantage IL il creditable
to Delegate Toole and Others that
they could rise above party consider
atoms. and take issli. with southern
members IN discussing the question.
The mere advantage To either party
cannot weigh against all the strong
proofs oi fitness ior admission. There
is no longer valid reason why Mon
tana should be denied her place among
the States. There is perhaps more
| indifference among our people than
among the residents al Dakota. which
may he attributed TO some extsnt Ia
the nature al our indust ries, hut We
believe the great majority can see The
b.ntits of statehood. and hail vii h
delight its approach. The New North
West thus eloquent " closes an eiiio-
rial on tins quest ion;
There are small States. With Inn
tied resources and small and decr,a--
ng population; but ask any citizen oil
any one Oi them II he would lie VIII
mp for his State To revert Ia u Terri
torial condition. To remain a Terri
tory after W. can he rightiully adm
ted as u state. * like he man al
twenty-one electing to remain al
home rather than embracing loNouSl,
his privilege To meet the responslbili
ties oi his age and the world. 1t may
bring cares, har'lships and struggles
but with it there * the inspiration %
manhood and freedom, and IT IL las
= inheritance worth all else beside: l.ei
