capable OF nothing better than sage brush
and with ability only 70 support prairie dogs,

magnitude California, which l supposed in
boyhood from It's size on the map was a few
yards across, aridge of land on which one must
walk cautiously lest be hit his head against

New Mexico What is the use in keeping
them out in the cold any longerl Let US
have the whole continent divided into states,
with senatorial and congressional representa-

some Of them lave not quite the requisite
number Of people, fix up the constitution to
suit these cases. Even Utah will, by drop

Monogamy has triumphed in parts Of Utah,

ton in Salt Lake City Turn all the terri
tories into states, and IL some OF the sisters
are smaller than the elder sisters, give them
time and they VIII be as large as any Of
them. Because some Of the daughters Of
family may be five feet in stature and the
other daughters only four feet, do not let
the daughters FIVE feet high shut the door in
the faces OF those who are only four feet
high. Among the dying utterances Of our
good friend, the wise statesman and great
author, the brilliant orator and toe magnif-
cent soul, S. :. Cox, was the expressed de
termination 70 move next winter in congress
for the transference Of other territories into
