The rapidIty with which the president
issued his proclamation admitting Mon
tana. while a controversy was before the
territorial courts over the result of the
election. is not likely TO be credited to
any laudable purpose to promote the
welfare of that waiting state. That 1t
was precipitate is indicated by the fact
that there was no Outgiving in regard
TO it in advance, as there was in the Case
of the three other states. 1t was a sur
prise to all not in the confidential circle,
not even the cabinet being apprlsed, 1t
is alleged. Dispatches state that the
OficiOus but trusted son RUSSELL had
lust arrived from Montana, and repre-
scented that immediate admission must he
had in order to prevent the supreme court
OF the territory from delivering its final
decision in the Silver Bow returning
board fraud. This board had, in de-
fanee OF the decision OF the lower court,
refused to count the full vote, and de-
family given the controlling seats Of the
legislature to men not elected by the
voters. The action of the president
takes the case from the territorial court
and puts it in the hands of another
judicial body in partisan sympathy with
the canvasSing board, and which is eX-
peeted to sustain it in its attempted lar
ceny of a legislature. The president
will not escape responsibility for the
turmoil and, perhaps. violence, that
may ensue, if his hasty work was done
simply to deprive the supreme court of
its existence in order that Republican
Judiciary might reverse the action
of the territorial court. In that
event it takes the proportion of
scandal and outrage, if not crime against
popular rights. The Democratic sena-
tors should insist upon an exhaust
i've investigation of the whole matter,
and the relations to it of the president
and his son RUSSELL. 1t was the duty
of the president to issue his proelama-
ton of admission when ali the cOndi-
tions of the enabling act had been COM
piled with. He knew that there was
contest over the most important results
of the election, and it cannot be insisted
that there was public good or the in
terests of the community requiring its
removal from the high court of that
locality. He may find refuge in tech
niealities, but the fact will remain that
he has been willing TO endanger the
peace, and turn loose dangerous QueS-
tion. to subserve partisan purposes, or
the personal interests of a member of
his family.

WILL HAVE TO WAIT.

There is a sensible abatement of late
of the disposition to admit most of the
other territories as states at an early
period. Idaho, Wyoming. and, perhaps.
New Mexico, have been encouraged to
equip themselves for statehood and
have prepared constitutions which they
are likely to keep on hand unused for
some time. Their claims to large popu-
latlon are not supported by their recent
voting. Idaho cast but about $4,000
votes. and Wyoming less than 10000. If
the women do much of the voting in
the latter, still less population must be
inferred. A congressional ratio is about
10000 population, and probably soon
will be 100000, which represents $4,000
and 10000 votes, and rather more in new
settlements. There is a disposition to
insist upon larger numbers in the future.
In any event, no more states are likely
to be admitted before the next presi-
dental election.

ALLIsON's DANGER.

The exact majority for the RepubI-
cans in the Iowa legislature is not GER
tain yet, but it is no doubt sufficient for
ordinary working purposes. Still, Sem
ator ALLISON is not free from nervous
ness. A Republican element repre-
scented by the Cedar Rapids Gazette is
intensely hostile to min, and would be
glad to defeat him even at some expense
to the party. There are some members
who are reputed to share this feeling,
but their number or their spinal rigid
ity are but guesswork. Some of the
Prohibitionists are distrustful of him,
because he doesn't remember their prin-
ciples very distinctly at Washington.
They even grumble at his liking for
something for the stomach's sake occa-
sionaIly. Others object to his advocacy
of protection when his real convictions
are on the other side. Still, it will be a
surprise if he fails to go through on the
party machine.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-Fire was
discovered this morning on the steamer
Hawaii which was lying at the Oceanic
dock. ready to sail for Honolulu to-day.
The steamer had full cargo. including
much valuable merchandise INTENDED
for the Christmas trade of Honolulu.
She was at once towed away from the
dock and the fire eytinguished by
swapping her on Mud flats. The ex-
tent of the damage is not known. but ID
will probably be considerable. The
Hawaii was formerly named the Del
NOrte and was recently purchased 10y
the Wilder Steamship company for $780,

HE'S ALL RIGHT.

Some explanation has recently been
given of the fact that the great cities
rarely send men to congress that
distinguish themselves as statesmen, or
exercise very potent influence. This
has been particularly true of New
York. SUNSET Cox was one of the
most notable exceptions. There is now
vacancy In the Sixth district of that
city. which takes in part of the most
wealthy and aristocratic region. The
incumbent was elected to a better
city Office at the late election. The
man likely to be selected for the va
cancy is a day laborer twenty-eight
years of age. He drives an ice wagon.
He ran for tie stale senate recently
agai nst one of the millionaire STEW
ARTS, and lacked but 200 votes of beat
ing him. He is said to be an eloquent
talker, and partially educated at Colum-
bia college. While delivering ice he
often made speeches from his wagon
that were not at all frigid. 1t may be
a novelty to send day laborer to con-
gress. but there is no good reason for
Directing to him if he has ability to fiji

NORTH DAKOTA POLITICS.

Il would be too broad statement that
the Merchants hotel, in this city, has
been the headquarters of the North Da-
kOta legislature this week, but there
have been good many representative
members there, and still larger group

crossed with the possibilities and kindly
sOlicitude for the actualities in cOnnec-
ton with the Bismarck gathering.
There were policies outlined for about
every phase of legislative activity, with
a prevalent disposition to ''smile"
through glassware when the idea that
the prohibitory amei :..ent would re-

permost concern with all was the choice
of senators. To those who have noted

THE OHIO aURT.

The more they think OF it, the less
comfort do the Republicans find in the
loss of the legislature in ONO. The
continuance of Democrat in the United
States senate is not the thing that hurts
most. While they did not expect that.
they have been getting used to it the
past twenty-five years. The cause of
the heavy mourning is found in the an
tieipatiOn that the Democrats will re-
district the state for congressman.
Under ordinary circumstances this
would be not only very unusual, but
open to grave objections. The custom
of the states is to reapportion only after
the federal census, once in a decade.
After the last census the Democrats had
the legislature and made the required
superintendent. That it was a reas-
Onably fair one as between the
parties was shown in the election that
followed, when eleven Democrats and
ten Republicans were sent to congress-
AS equitable as this was, it did not suit
the Republicans, and when they got
control of the legislature, four years ago,
they did the work over and made the
districts marvelS of geographical inge-
nuity, in order that the Democrats
might secure but five or six out of the
twenty-one. The delegation now is six
teen Republicans to five Democrats.
The other five Democrats that were due
to their votes would wipe out the Re-
publican majority in the coming con-
gress. Under the Republican exhibit
ton of fairness. $1,000 Republicans
have as much representation as $4,000
Democrats. 1t is expected that the
Democrats will rectify this inequality,
and perhaps make a majority of the dis
tricts Democratic. This will destroy
any chance the Republicans may have
for the congressman to be elected next
year, and is what hurts.

1T WON'T BUY HIM.

If Col. SHEPARD, the good man in
New York who has secured so much
note by taking daily text from the
Bible for his paper, is really trying to
convert the sultan with money, he has
very limited ideas of the requirements
of the man of many wives. The sultan
is reported to have spent million dol
lars in his recent entertainment of the
German emperor; and an offer of $780,
600 to become Christian of the SHEP-
ARD type would only excite his con-
tempt. The sultan is a spenGthrift,
and has large family to support. He
is, perhaps, like the fellows with titles
in some of the old countries-in the mar
ket, but his figures are high. 1t is
doubtful if he really is worth buying.

CHEAP GAS

A company is reported TO be putting
a plant in East st. Louis for the manu-
facture of gas for heating as well as
lighting. to be sold at five cents per 1000
feet. The cost of the plant Is put at
only $4,000. If good gas can be manu-
featured at those figures. there will be
little indueement TO fool with natural
gas. and it may be presumed that the
dividends on ordinary gas supplies
should be robust. However. it will be
well to wait little and see what there
may be in the East st. Louis gas. A
local expert in such matters states that
it is quite feasible to furnish gas at
merely nominal figures where coal Is
cheap, and there is good sale for the
coke and other by-products. This party
insists that steam cannot be made a
cheap heater for distribution over wide
areas, but gas is more likely to meet the
desired end.

LONDON, Nov. 15.-Mrs. Annie Be

ship in the London school board, brought
an action for libel against Rev. Mr.. Hos
kyn, rector of a church in Stepney, who,
the plaintiff alleged, at the time of the

asserted that she regarded chastity as
crime and unbridled sensuality as vir-
tue. The case came up for trial to-day.
After the testimony was all in the
judge summed up the evidence strongly
against the plaintiff. The jury dis
agreed. Ten of the jurors in the case
of Mrs. Besant against Rev. Mr.. Hos
kyns for libel were in favor of bringing
in verdict for the plaintiff and held
out to the last. The two obstinate ones,
however, remained firm i'm their convie-
ton that the clergyman was justified in
his criticisms CT the lady's peculiar
theories regarding the relations of the
sexes, and SO prevented the amercement
of the reverend gentleman in the sum
claimed.
