The New Strtrs.

e Il seems to be conceded on ali sides that
one of the first things done by the res
publicans when they obtain possession of
the government will be to pass an act
admitting several of the territories as
states of the union. The New York
Graphic says there is no question as to
the justice and propriety of taking Dakota
inc the ssterhOod of states, though
there is some dispute as to whether the
territory should be divided and adm. ed
as two states. There are seven other or
ganized territories q iona, Idaho, Mon.
tana, New Mexico, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming. The Indian territory is
not organized, and ALASKA is only par
tally so.
According to the census of 1880, only
Idaho, Montana and Washington, in ad-
dition to Dakota, are eligible for admis-
sion, so far as regards their popula
ton ana general social and progressive
condition The pr sent population of
Dakota is not less than 600 900, that of
Idaho about rs, COO; Montana has fully
$4,000, and Washington more than 12O.-
00O Wyoming has a prosperous and
progressive population and great wealth
but there are not more than 81 900 people
in the territory, and it is not proposed as
yet to add her name To the roll Of states.
Utah. of course, is out Of the question,
and New Moxico, with large majority
of "greasers" within her borders who
neither speak our language nor practice
our habits of life, will hardly be thought
of just yet as q state.
The political importance to the repub>
licau party of the movement to admit
Idaho, Montana and Washington, and to
divide Dakota into two states, can read,
lily be appreciated. Their entrance into
the union would add ten United States
senators to the republican majority il
the upper chamber OF congress aud prob
ably dozen members of the house o
representatives of the same political com
plexion Besides this there would be tn
electoral votes of these new states, upol
