Thomas county may weal be proud
of the 100 educators attending the
coun ty normal institute They come
from almost every school district in
the county, and are not here for their
health alone, but are the most earnest
workers and thorough students that
can be foaEd in Western Kansas.
They are good looking and in point of
intellect will compare with any county
normal in the eastern states. The
fact that nearly every teacher in the
county is present brings Thomascom
ty far ahead of older counties in the
state in point of educational interest.
The teachers realize that in edu-
eating the children lies the founda-
ton and perpetuity of our govern
ment. We welcome them to our midst
and the citizens of Colby have acted
nobly in opening their homes for their
entertainment.

New England strongly and success
fully advocated the policy of protec-
ton, and owing to her peculiar adap-
liabilities for engaging in the protected
industries vas rendered thriving and
prosperous to a remarkable degree.
The South, forced into new grooves.
is sloxly but surely awakening to a
realization of her advantages, and is
gradually putting forth her hands to
grasp and ntilize them. That protec-
ton has made considerable headway
at the south in the past Jew years is a
fact to which We cannot remain blind.
although it has not so far perceptibly
affected the relative autonomy of the

pear ON Wood River this week, and
give three performances-one in
Bellevue, one in ketchum, and one
in Hailey--at which "Facing the
Enemy" a military drama which
seems to have struck the popular fancy
everywhere, will be presented. This
company presented the play for six
consecutive weeks, to crowded houses,
in McVicker's Theater, Chicago.
The company comprises IL star
actors, with James A. Devlin, the
noted comedian for long time lead
ing man with Katie Putnam, as chief
supporter of Miss Belle Inman. Mr.
Devlin is great favori,e here, and
that fact alone will secure a crowded

Another Strike In the Red Cloud,

Ore was cut into, last Saturday, in
the fourth or lower tunnel driven in
Red Cloud ground, which seems to be
of at least equal value to that found
in the upper workings. This strike
is considered very important, as it
demonstrates the continuity of the
ore.bearing vein from the surface to
the 25O-level, and greatly enhances
its value. The property is understood
to be under 60-day bond for $685..
600. II this were not the case, it
would probably be held at double
that amount now, owing to this strike.

STATEHOOD.


we are astonished that any intelligent
citizen - much less any newspaper
man-should object to Statehood.
From the time when we enter .
Territory we begin to feel the loss of
political rights, and the absence of
most of the incentives to individual
effort that result in such great good
to communities as a whole, and to
persons in particular, in every one of
the States Of the Union. The time
expended in Territories is usually
considered to be just so much almost
thrown away. Capital will not seek
investment there, able individuals will
hardly go, immigration will not come,
and the result is that the latent re-
sources of those regions-which are
always immense remain practically
untouched and benefit no one.
Then, too, with the cost of main
tanning the government. Most peo-
pie consider that it costs much more
to maintain State than a Territorial
government; while the reverse is the
case. To be sure, the actual amount
of money required to carry on State
government is much greater than for
a Territorial government. But the
resources of State are so much
greater that the increased cost is not
felt.
Under our present Territorial gov
eminent we have, to be taxed directly
to maintain the Insane Asylum, the
Territorial University, the great
"North and South Wagon Road"
aud many other equally necessary
institutions or enterprises. We have
to maintain our schools and all the
adjuncts of civilized communities.
We cannot even survey for irrigation
and other works that would quad.
ripple our taxable property every year
or so for series of years.
With Statehood we would get from
s4o,00O,0OO to $6O,OO0,OOO worth of
public lands with which to support
all these institutions and enterprises,
and could thus be relieved of much of
the burden of direct taxation under
which we now labor.
With Statehood would come tens
of thousands of new settlers that
would, the first few years, fully double
our taxable property.
"But what viii. these people do
when they get here?" we think We
hear our mossback friends excIaim,
affriehted. Do? They would do as
all new settlers in all new countries
have always done. The first year or
two they would have hard time of
it; the third and fourth year they
would begin to make fair living;
after that, with economy and indus
try, they would prosper. Much, if
the State prospered much; little, if
the State prospered little. But they
would not starve, because nobody
starves to death in this country; no,
not even the lazy fellow who will not
accept cash job at high wages when
offered him, yet who grows at the
hard times.
The Snake River Valley alone,
with its hundreds of thousands of
square miles of the most fertile land
on the face of the earsh, can be made
to support population of many mil
lions Of persons. Yes, the child is born
in this Pacific Northwest who will
live to see 100000 souls in the
Snake River Valley and tributary
regions, with large cities every SO or
100 miles and smaller towns every
few miles. Who, then, can truthful.
ly say that there is nothing for new
corners to do in Idaho?
