THE bill having passed both houses of congress and received the signature of the president four new states have been created, two from the territory of Dakota, and one each from Montana and Washington. The territorial names are retained, the Dakotas taking the prefxes of north and south.
 The governors of these territosies will or der elections of delegates to constitutional conventions to be held in the territorial cap- .tals May IA, South Dakota delegates gather ing at Sioux Falls. These conventions must adopt thS constitution of the United States and frame constitutions in harmony with it, and on the first Tuesday in October the peo- pie of the several territories shall vote wheth- CT to ratifY the constitution submitted. The president of the United States shall proclaim the result, and the territories will thereafter be deemed states. North Dakota, Montana and Washington will then be entitled to send one representative each to congress, and South Dakota two, along with two senators in each case of course.
 The two Dakotas each will be greater in territory than all New England, and the fou, states will exceed in area the total original 13. The present territory of Washington is greate, than New England and Delaware; the terri tory of Montana is greater than New England New York, New Jersey Delaware and Mary land, plus the state of Maine again; while Dakota exceeds in area New England, New York, New. Jersey and West Virginia. Th' four cover an area nearly equal to Texas ant Colorado combined. This vast tract of coun try is, or can be made, immensely productive Dakota as wheat growing and farming sec tion is unsurpassed. Montana is conspicuous for it's mineral resources and cattle and sheer ranches, while wheat and grain lands abound
 Washington has salmon fisheries, large graz ing and cattle interests, and extensive lumbe and mineral resources. %-:
 Dakota has & population estimated at abou E6OO, ,0OO.; Montana 5000, and Washington IA, ,0O0, by the census of 1887. Dakota wa largely settled by New England farmers, ant not little of eastern integrity. thrift and en terprise has found way into Washingto, and Montana. With such population for basis and such natural resources, the devel lopment of these new states will not be slov or backward. The territories now remaining, beside tn District of Columbia, are New Mexico, Utah Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming and the India, Territory. Of these Utah probably has larger population than some of those now ad mitted as states, but for, good and suffcien reasons it is likely to long remain territory New Mexico also has considerable popula ton, but preponderance of these are thos
 whose affiliations are with Mexico rather thai with the United States. The Indian Terri tory can never be anything else than an In dian reservation, except the Indians may a some time be fitted for and deserve citizen ship-unless the government shall sadl,, break faith with their wards, as the would b.
 land robbers of Kansas desire may be done It is an important event, this transformation of so large part of our country into sel governing states.

London Globe: Nothing is more com. mon than for Europeans to complain of the difficulty ythey have in individualizing men of dark races who to the eye of the white man seem all more or less alike. The natives of India have apparently ex- actly the same difficulty with white men. Some men of the Lancashire regiment sta- toned at Benares recently broke loose and raided liquor shop in neighboring village. Some of the culprits were so drunk that the authorities easily discover ed them, but in order to spot the remain der the regiment was paraded, and the villagers were asked to point out the guilty mep. They absolutely failed to do so in a single case, whereupon native paper, commenting on the incident, says: "Not 8 doubt of it. One of the most difficult feats under the sun is to identify Euro peans-they are so much alike with their loud, glaring white color. We wonder whether their friends and relations are at loss as to who's who? ?"

Farmers should, as a rule, reduce the size of their planted fields, increase their fertility by applying as much plant food to an acre as they now scatter over three, re- duce labor and increase production, reduce cost and increase profit. There is room for this kind of reduction ascending to be carried long way yet in New England.

The great Adirondack forest will soon be thing of the past. The lumbermen in that region will fell 500, ,U00 trees this year, it is said. Although New York state does not require irrigation to develop it's agricultural capabilities so much as do the mountain regions of the Pacific states, yet it's rivers largely derive their source from the Adirondack mountain country, and the destruction of the forests must ultimately cause climatic changes. Utilitarianism has little regard for sentiment, but it is sometimes apt to over-reach itself.

BURGLARIz1NG BANK SAFEs.-A startling article appeared in the daily papers last week, giving an account of what purport- ed to be the blowing open of one of Mar vin's bank safes by two reformed burg lars" @ connected with the Star Theater Company. We thought the statements were worth Investigating for our readers and the many bankers and business men using safes, not only in this city but throughout the country for if safes can be broken open in few: moments, 1t is time users of them knew it. We are glad to say that after fully Investigating the facts, we find the whole matter was mere. ly an advertising scheme to puff a cheap play at the expense of reputable busi- ness. The real truth of the matter is that these people bought little second hand safe for about twenty dollars of some deal. CT, to exhibit it in their show and make a pretense of blowing it open during the progress of the play. It is an outrage that such mis-statement should have ap-
 peared in the daily papers as would tend to create feeling of distrust in bank safes. The Marvin Safe Company has been man. ufacturing safes for half century, and no name in the trade stands higher than theirs, and they now have under way for various banks safes that look as though ii would take month to force open.-The NeaO York FSs0ncier. :t ..-

WESLEYAN Co11EgE has a large job of dis ciplining on it's hands. In years past stu dents have so riotously celebrated the dawn ing of the anniversary of washington's birth day that restraining regulations had to be made, which certain students defantly broke. One gang did the usual cannon firing outside, while another procured explosives to. fire within the buildings. It is thought that the order for the latter, sent to New York, was misunderstood, and that dynamite cartridges were furnished instead of heavy Chinese crackers, as the explosion broke holes through the floor, and one bursting in the hand of a student, Hubbard of West Virginia, terribly tore his hand, and portions of the cartridge were driven into his abdomen, infiicting dan. gerous wounds. The students concerned in the affair were Rooksby, P. H. Pierce, Doug lass, Queal, Tamblyn, Grant and Hubbard. Hubbard and Rooksby fired the bomb, while the others discharged the cannon. Queal was the ringleader and the man who tele
 graphed to New York for the dynamite. Hub
 bard is in very critical condition at the hos
 pital. All the others have confessed to thei, share in the proceeding # > "'---'

ANOTHER body was found in the ruins of the Park Central Hotel last Saturday, that of the vagrant Edward Boyle. This makes in all B bodies, and is believed to be all, as so far but one body has been found that was not looked for, that of Seymour. The theory now is that Seymour or Boyle gave draft to the banked fire under the boiler for the pur- pose of getting warmth. Evidence shows that the boiler was full of water, was strong boiler, and was terribly rended by the escape of it's confined force, probably having within pressure of over 25O pounds of steam to ths square inch. 4 -s'- - .as' tt.>s. j.

JOHN WANNAMAKER of Philadelphia, who is to be the next postmaster general, is suc- cessfu1 business mana self-made man--who began at the bottom, poor, but industrious, thrifty, and with ideas of his own, impressed as to the value of economy, system, and in- tegrity, in the conduct of successful business. He put his ideas into practice, and to-day conducts business which is the wonder of the country. His store in Philadelphia is small city in itself, his employees respecta- ble municipality in population, and his busi- ness exceeds the combined industry of many
 fair-sized town. This is the kind of man Uncle Sam needs to organize and conduct his immense mail business. It is not the first time this type of man hes been called to cabinet position. Gen. Grant selected for his first secretary of the treasury A. T. Stew art, the New York merchant, who, however,
 had to decline, being himself an importer, his business being incompatible with filling the office to which he was called, and unwi1- ling to give up that business. MT. Wanna maker may act as postmaster-general and re- tain his business, the care of which will tenn. porarily fall to subordinates of longtime training. We shall look for an excellent ad' ministration of his particular department o1 the government %:.* ' "e'- =.

TIE constitutional (prohibitory) amend ment should in no event be made @ party measure Neither the republican nor the democratic party is committed for or against prohibition. Prohibition can, if enacted, be best enforced if it is not a law for which any party is responsible, but rather made law in obedience to general demand: of public sentiment. We expect that republican votes will be cast against and democratic votes fo, the amendment. There are men who are ir sympathy with prohibition who do not think it best to enact laws which cannot be en- forced. The Press has no sympathy with that feeling. If the majority truly want pro- hibition it should have its way. Put the amendment through the legislature and lei the people stand up and be counted in this matter. st-,-
