Their responsibility, try 10 excuse them

French proverb: ''IIe accuses who ey

they excused their crime by saying that
they were blamc!ess, rs the walls of the
house were so badly butt us to tempt
them to break through. The mason was
therefore to blame for the robbery. The
mason was brought before the maris-

that the blame could not he laid upon

THE NEXT congress.

The election Of Senator Kenna from West
Virginia determines the political division of
the Senate for the first half of President IIar-
risOn's term Numerically the division will be
Just the same as in the Senate at present 80
| Republicans to 81 Democrats but the Repub-
lcan party will be considerably strengthened
by changes in the membership. The new SEN
ator from Delaware is free from the uncertain
ties which have attached TO the political posi-
ton of Senator Riddleberger from Virginia,
| and other changes tend TO make the party more
harmonious and effective in It's action. The
natural tendency, when party majority Is
| narrow, is to compact and unity IL, and the
want OF harmony which often affected do
cisions OF the Senate on appointments by Presi-
dent Cleveland Is less likely to appear when
| the appointments are made by Republican
President.
The next House will also be very closely
divided Three certificates are held back by
Democratic officials, two Of Republicans from
West Virginia whose election is contested. and
one OF Mr. Evans, Republican from Tennessee
to whom the Democratic Governor declares he
will give certificate while the Secretary of
State refuses. No legal certificate can be given
10 Democrat in the latter case but the Dem
ocratic contestants from West Virginia would
doubtless get certificates from the Democratic
Governor if it would enable his party to control
the organization of the House Including the
member just elected in Missouri TO FIJI a vacancy
caused by death, however, the Democrats have
only 159 rnemberS-elect, and if the two West
Virginia seats should be stolen, would have
only 1911, while the Republicans have 1853
members to whom regular certificates have
been issued. One of them, Mr.. Laird is re-
ported too ill to attend but majority of only
one could organize, and in the absence Of MIR.
Laird and two members from Virginia the
Republican majority would be al the outset
In several contested cases decision in favor
Of Republican claimants should in Justice be
rendered without delay.
These figures as to both houses will be modi-
fed by the admission of the four new States in
the Northwest. but at an extra session. II one
should be held, the strength in both honses
must remain as above stated. The admission
of the new States, however, will add EIGHT
Senators and five Representatives in time for
the regular session next December. In ali the
coming States there were Republican maiorities
at the last election, so that an addition Of
five Republicans in the House is probable. In
the two Dakotas and in Washington the Legis-
latuses viii choose Republican Senators with
out doubt, but ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS express

4 coysTE1IdTYoy or STATES.

n By the graceful action of the President III
signing on yesterday, the anniversary OF wash
ineton's birthday, the bill admitting the two
Dakotas. Washington and Montana, whole
constellation of States is added to our nag.
Nothing now remains to be done but to make
those formal preparations for which the law
provides, and which the people OF these states
will gladly make, in order to assume their new
rank at the earliest possible day. When the
List Congress meets in December next there
will be forty-two States within the circle, and
forty-two stars will CLEAN brightly upon our
flag.
The event is unique. Never before has so
great number of new Commonwealth been
admitted at one time. The event may almost
be said to be unprecedented in another respect
lin the abundant qualifications of the Terri
tories for admission. As rule in the past,
good deal has been taken for granted in adj
hitting new States. They have rarely pos
sessed the full measure of qualification, but
have been admitted more for the growth it
was seen they were sure of having than for
that which they had already attained. But
these new States are full-grown and In all
ways eligible. Several have indeed been so
for long time as we all know-so long that
their continued exclusion for political reasons
had come to be such gross wrong that even
the foolish party managers who were respon-
sible for it saw the truth at last, and abandoned
a futile and laundering opposition. The two
Dakotas, Washington and Montana enter the
Union by right and not by sufferance. In
population, in intelligence, in all the attributes
nsxv,lf,od th0v baWa r0qphod
the full stature Of States, and may take their
places with a just pride.
Many circumstances unite to make this add
ton to the Union memorable. II may now al
most be said that the line of States stretches
without break from OCEAN to ocean. Except
for the narrow tongue Of Idaho that runs up
ward to the border and separates Montana from
Washington, the line of States along the north
ern border ia complete. This addition leaves
only few more States TO be gathered in, when
the whole Of our present territory will be occur
pied by homogeneous family Of States There
win now be forty-two; the number will prob
ably never exceed fifty, unless we add TO II
by annexation.
To the people Of the new States admission
win mean much, because apart from the natu-

wherever it may plant itself, toward self gov
eminent. they have had a strong motive in the
fact that capital will be more readily attracted
for investment, and the process of develop
ment can 60 on much more rapidly, under
State than under Territorial Governments. But
the event is one for patriotic congratulation
everywhere and especially among Republicans
They have the qualification Of knowing that it
was the grand old party that won, by long
years of stubborn fighting this great victory
for the principle Of self government.

TIE nnG SHOW.

Thorouehbreds human or otherwise, are inter
es,jng creatures II Is not remarkable that an
assembly OF FLOODED animals should call together
crowds OF delighted spectators. The exhibition
that took place in Mialison Square Garden last
v-ee,, enabled the public 10 see as remarkable
n collection OF high-chSs dogs as could readily
be brought under one roof. Almost every variety
Of the canine family Was represented. They were
brought from the enda OF the earth. Some OF the
dogs were entirely strange TO this climate ana
many OF them. though Of familiar types, were
altogether exceptional Us specimens. II IS an
important part Of the business Of Che managers
OF "a bench show 10 bring before The public
all the novel breeds that have been shown TO
possess merit, and this duty was well performed
last week Among the imported dogs were many
which have become distinguished for beauty,
intelligence and finely developed instinct, and
their exhibition was wen calculated TO have an
important effect upon the breeding and training
OF domestic dogs.
IL is only within very recent years that any
genuine or systematic effort has been made in
this country 20 breed fine dogs. The establish
mcnt Of a kennel Is not lilSrly 70 prove money
making enterprise. and only under the stimulus
afforded by q love Of sportgare such tasks under
taken Their advantages accrue chiefly 10 the
public which gets the free land full benefit OF oil
that has been bought by time. experience and
money Many are the evils that have been as
signed 20 the growth in America OF what Is often
termed the leisure Glass; but without the people
70 whom accumulated wealth has brought the
taste for elevated sports for art, for literature
and for kennel pleasures, together with the
time and opportunity necessary for it's rational
qualification. the general public would miss many
things in which It takes great delight. Kennels,
stock firms and breeding stables, not less than
aft galleries and grand opera, Injuries reQuir
ing the investment of considerable capital, and
the fact that so large proportion of the finest
dogs on exhibition last week was bred in this
country by the owners OF hrge and elaborate
kennels is encouraging. This Is especially true
since the chase and the hunt nre by no means
general forms OF sport and dogs are mainly
fsncied as pets.
The bench show has been a development in
New-York and has grown from a small affair
into decidedly brilliant display. Its progress
in thirteen years has been due 20 the eAertions
OF small but enthusiastic body Of breeders,
who have AZ last succeeded in presenting an exhi-
bition that tells It's own praiseworthy story. How
for their efforts were appreciated last week was
shown by the great crowds OF visitorswho thronged
the garden day and night

be captured by Democrats. They claim that
the overwhelming Republican victory at the
last election there, which resulted In 5000
plurality for Delegate, and in Territorial
Legislature composed Of 20 Republicans to IL
Democrats was due to quarrel among Demo-
Gratis which has passed, and that change Of
