The reasons for Withholding Statehood
from Utah and New Mexico are thus m
alyzed by the San Francisco Bulletin:
"The opposition 10 the admission Of
Utah and New Mexico has been stronger
within those Territories than It has been
on the outside. A strong protest was
made by the anti Mormon element OF
Utah against admission, on the ground
that il that Territory were now to be-
come a State, there would be no safety
for the Gentle population. A recent
illustration Of that theory was furnished
by the election in Ogden. The anti
Mormon element tuned out strong IN
the early part Of the day. The mormons
began to make arrests, in order TO weaken
the strength Of the opposition. lntimi-
dations we're carried so far that it became
necessary to call out a company OF United
States troops in order to protect voters.
With this protection the Gentle voters
carried the election. Without it there
was no prospect that they would have
been successful. Had Utah been a SOW
ereigu State. DO protection would have
been given to opposition voters. In short.
the election in Ogden furnished a very
convincing demonstration Of the theory
that il Utah we're a State the rights OF
Gentiles would not be respected.
1.-THE protest which went to Washing.
ton from New Mexico was based on the
theory that a majority Of the people Of
that Territory were not qualified to be-
come citizens Of a sovereign. State. Until
recently they have resisted all attempts
to give prominence to the study OF the
English language in the few schools Of
that Territory. The majority Of the in.
habitants do rot speak English. The
American element protested against adj
mission. As in Utah, so in New Mexico,
il was held that there was much more
safety for the minority or progressive
element under a Territorial form Of gov
eminent than there would be if States
were now organized out of these 1iscord-
ant elements. No injustice is done to
| Territories which have an inharmonious
population, small in numbers, whose con-
dition is expected to improve by being
held for a time on probation. The ad-
mission Of a Territory into the Union Is
not under an absolute right. 1t is a priv.
ilege or gift which the Federal Govern.
ment confers or may withhold when there
is a good reason. Neither sufficient pop
u~lstion or property. nor both, can consti-
tute a valid claim to the rights Of State.
hood. Such qualifications may be urged
with a great deal Of force. But it remains
for the Federal Government to consider
all the circumstances which make for or
against State sovereignty?

the following as a summary OF his testi-
mony given before the Senate Committee;
"Mr. Wren, ex-Congressman from Ne

the timber suits in Nevads. He gave q
clear and comprehensive statement OF the
situation, showing the necessity for the
use Of frewood in prosecuting mining in
Nevada, and the legal rights Of the peo-
pie in the mining districts to supply them
selves with fuel for mining and domestic
purposes. He also made manifest the
hardships Of the reckless prosecutions in
stigated by parties in Nevada, to make
fees out Of the Government and levy o L

conclusively that the officials at Wash

caused the boiler to blow up. This
discovery is the result of an investiga-
ton. There are planks directly under
the hotel wall, and under them q blue

the consistency of mud. There was not
a barrel Of cement in the whole Of it.
Even the men who were hired to put up

Of their lives. Many bricks are soft and
worthless. The list Of dead reaches

Mr.. Ives found it necessary to replace

Quoted a saloon in San Francisco. He
became interested in the Comstock
mines in 1870, and in 1874 the discov-
cry of the great bonanza made him a
millionaire. He lost several million dol.
lars in the great wheat deal. and no
doubt the dependency caused by his ill
luck affected his health. His estate is
variously estimated from $S,0OO,O 900 TO

CATTLE SHIPMENTS FKOM Me-
NADA

A well informed gentleman recently
told the writer Of this article that the
books of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company show the shipment annually Of
more beef cattle to the San Francisco
market from this State than the combined
aggregate returns Of all the Assessors OF
all the counties in Nevada place on the
rolls yearly. Here is a curious state OF
facts, il true. 1t would seem to demon.
strate a most marvellous in~accuracy in the
figures of County Assessors. 1t shows
further that the small taxpayer who can
not conceal or misrepresent the value OF
his small property bears an unjust pro-
portion OF the burdens of State and
county government. We have no means
of verifying the figures of our informant,
and we make no direct charges in connec-
ton Herewith, but the matter is one OF
such grave importance that we have felt
justified in directing public attention to
it. 1t is extremely difficult, we know,
to arrive at the exact holdings Of the large
cattle men of the State. We doubt if
they can themselves do more than APP
proximate . correct estimate. Their
losses are frequently heavy in the Winter
season, and it is customary to allow them
to make reductions accordingly, but we
submit that the returns should at least
exceed the number Of beeves actually
shipped to market, instead Of falling
largely below. There is need Of reform
in the manner Of assessing the live stock
of Nevada for taxable purposes.
