The New States.

-Four new states have been added to the
union. They are North and South Dakota,
Washington and Montana. Each of them
contains an immense area, AID, although
they are now very sparsely populated, IL
very few years, in all probability, they will
be rich and populous. The states of the
northwest have increased IN wealth aud
population with marvellous rapidty. Great
cities have grown up in them in very few
years. About all the older states have con-
tributed toward making them what they
are, aud Europe has assisted them with
money and immigrants. There is no reason
why the two Dakotas and Washington
should not have as marvellous a growth as
Nebraska ald Minnesota have had. They
have everything that is necessary to insure
their prosperity.
As a territory. Dakota had an area Of
l4S, %? square miles. 1t extended $50 miles
north and south AMI $50 east and west. An
east and west line divides it into two states,
each Of which is a very large enc. South
Dakota has the greater population and the
nilder climate. 1t is doubtful, however, if
It's soil is richer. The soil of both is we'll
adapted to the growing of wheat. The dry
ness of the climate makes the cold less no
ticeable
Montana has an area of no square
miles, and the face of the country is gen.
orally mountainous. 1t is rich in minerals,
particularly in gold and silver. It's prairie
lands and river bottoms offer great induce
ments to stock raisers and wool growers.
Although the winters are intensely cold,
cattle appear to stand them very well.
Within the last ten years Montana has
made remarkable progress in both wealth
and population.
Washington has an area of 69994 square
miles 1t is divided into two very distinct
sections by the Cascade mountains. The
western part of it, comprising about two
hfths Of tue whole, is heavily timbered, and
has climate that is relatively warm in
winter and cool in summer. Its climate,
in fact, is very much like that OF England.
The eastern part is sparsely timbered, and
has very dry climate. 1t is cold in
winter and hot in summer Irrigation is
necessary in many seasons to the successful
growing Of crops In the western portion,
however, there is always plenty of rain and
the soil is very productive Washington is
certain to be great state.

The Hartford Times thinks that the
collapse Of the hotel in that city the other
day was owing TO the boiler explosion, rather
than that the boiler explosion was owing
to the collapse of the hotel; but at the same
time it admits that the hotel was insecurity
constructed. II says: "If the walls of the
hotel tad been as thick and strong as they
ought TO have been, and the internal work,
the beams and partitions, as heavy and
solid as the safety Of the public demanded,
it is not probable that boiler explosion
could have torn the entire building to
pieces aud caused all the lofty walls to col
lapse, ON all sides, in one and the same in

One of the latest bits Of rumor concerning
Gen. Harrison's cabinet is that the general
has secured the consent Of fifteen or twenty
men to become members of it, in case he
should need any one of them. and that he
will make the appointments after he gets to
Washington. 1t is stated that the only name
lie has definitely decided on is that of Mr..
Blaine. 1t might be interesting to know
how many names M. Blaine has de-
cided on.

There was an impression lately, though
not very strong one, that MIR. Jay Gould
was trying to get control of the Richmond
Terminal. In an interview day OF two
ago, Mr.. Donley, of Richmond, Va, who
is one of the original incorporators of the
Terminal, said that there WIS nothing as
yet to indicate that Mr.. Gould was either
seeking a controlling interest in the Ter
minal or desired it, 1t is true that Mr..
Gould now owns from 1000 to 1000 shares
of the Terminal stock, which he has re-
Gently acquired, but it is not generally be-
lieved that he intends to purchase any more
of it.
Mr.. Dooley says that for more than a
year before Mr.. Gould purchased this stock
he had been endeavoring to effect an ar
rangement by which his Southwestern
system Of railroads would have a close con
nection with the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad at Memphis, and the
Georgia Pacific at Arkansas City. He as
finally succeeded in his object, and it is
understood that the arrangement will be
very beneficial to the Terminal Mr..
Dooley SAYS that Mr.. Gould may have had
one or two objects in view in buying Ter
minal stock. One is that he expect
ed that the connection betweea his
roads and those controlled by the Terminal
would be so beneficial to the tier that its
shares would advance in pri e at once, and
he bought the shares with the view # reap
ing large profit from them. The other is
that having a traffic connection with the
Terminal he naturally feels an interest in
it, and purchased shaies in order to have a
voice in its management
Mr.. Dooley may be right in his conclu-
sions respecting Mr. Gould's intentions. 1t
is certainly to be hoped that he is Mr..
Gould has the reputation Of being a rail.
road wrecker. This reputation may do him
an injustice, but il is quite certain that the
that he will get hold of the
roads in the Terminal system is not re-
garded with pleasure by those who are in
terested in those roads.

:rhey should Attack the Senate.

They should Attack the Senate.
The republican organs are attacking the
President because some Of the Washington
correspondents have stated thai it is his
purpose to defeat several Of the peading
measures which are expected to pass, and
in which the republicans are very much in
terested, by means Of what is known
as the pocket vsto' Tie consSitu-
ton provides that bills passed within
ten days of the close of a session shall
not to become laws if the President does
not sign them. All the President has t. do,
therefore, to defeat any bill passed during
the remainder of this session is to put it
into his pocket and say nothing about it.
He is not required to give any reasons for
his course nor to afford congress a chance
to pass it by two-thirds majority.
Every President has had Sthis power,
however, and some of them have exercised
| it. What reason, therefore, is there for
making it an excuse for attacking Mr.
| Clevelandl He has not announced his pur-
pose to defeat any measure by means of a
pocket Veto" but If he should exercise this
power, he would do nothing unusual.
Why do not tue republican organs turn
their attention to the Senate which is
steadily refusing to confirm nominations.
| There are several hundred Of these nomina
tions, and if there are reasons for rejecting
any of them they have not been made public
| II they are not confirmed before the end of
the session they will fail altogether.
The purpose of the Senate, is to
defeat them by not acting on them
so that Gen. Harrison can fill
with republicans the vacancies for which
they were intended. Is this course of the
Senate either Just or fair! Is there any
good precedent for it! If the republican
| organs were disposed to insist upon what is
right they would attack the Senate instead
Of the President.

There are rumors that M. Blaine's in
huence as the next Secretary of State is
being felt A few days ago it was state /
that in conversation with some friends he
had announced that the acquisition of
Cuba would be a part of his policy, and on
Tuesday the New York newspapers con
tanned statements that he had indicated
what his course would be with regard to the
revolution in Hayti.
Mr. Cieveland's administration has not
recognise. Gen. LegItIme as president Of
j .ayti. Neither has it reco gnized Gen.
Hyppolite President Cleveland in mis- an
nual mes age stated that there was nc s. able
government in Hayti and that the condi
ton Of affairs there was extremely unsatis-
factory. His unde standing of the situa-
ton was about correct.
few weeks ago, agents of Gen. Hippo
lite bought the steamer Madrid, at New
York, and fitted her out as a war ship.
They changed her name to Conserva. The
detectives Of Gen, LegitiTne, under the
direction of Mr.. Preston. the Haytian min
ister, have been keeping a sharp watch
upon this vessel, and on Tuesday they had
her sez d by the United States authorities
on the ground that she was about to carry
arms and ammunition to Gen. Hyppolite.
IL is reported that they did not expect to
find any arms on board of her. but
they knew she belonged to Gen.
Hyppolite aud they expected to hold her
until Gen. Harrison was inaugurated, when
Gen. Legitime would be recognized as
president Of Hayti, and the rebellion of Gen.
Hyppolite would end. They underst God
that Mr.. Blaine had stated that Legitime
would be recognized by Gen. Harrison's
administration.
1t is hardly probable that Mr.. Blaine has
indicated what his course will be with re-
spect to either Cuba or Hayti. He is too
shrewd man to act as if he were already
in power. Doubtless some Of those who
would like to map out policy for him are
responsible for the reports concerning his
purposes,
