What noble addition to the Union could
be made by uniting New Mexico and Ari-
zoaa and admitting them rs IL single State!
Bills are before tho Senate, having passed
the House. for taking In these two Terrific
RIGS separately. But Arizona. at least. has
not even rs good grounds for admis-
sion as Wyoming had. She would merely
add one more to the list OF rotten-borough
States. She should bo content to rejoin
Now Mexico from which sho was separated
by tho act OF 1863. and then the two would
DO beyond tho rcproach justly brought
against other new States. OF having been
admitted premGtureiy.
Governor BRADFORD PRINCE Inns put be-
foro the Senate Committee ON Terri
tories facts and figures to show low
much worthler New Mexico already
is to bo made n State than were
Nevada. Idaho. Wyoming. and Mon
tuna. When. In 1916. KEAENEY entered
Santa Fe. he announced that 1t Is the wish
and Intention OF tho United States to pro-
vide for New Mexico FREQ government
with tho least possible delay similar to
those in the United States" Tho treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo. in ls4s. increased these
assurances. and accordingly in 1850 Now
Mexico held a Convention, framed State
Constitution. and elected momber of Con-
gress and Legislature. which latter chose
two Senators. But Congress determined at
that time to admit California. and to keep
New Mexico for time rs Territory.
However. in tho Forty-third Congress an
enabling net for tho admission of New
Mexico passed tho Senate by vote
OF 90 To II. and tho House by n
vote OF 100 to 81. A slight emcndation
In tho Senate carried it bnck. and since
fewer than ten DAYS OF the session remained.
1t did not secure final attention and enact
mont. In the following Congress n similar
measure passed tho Senate by II vote Of rs
to Is. and was reported favorably In the
House. but failed to DO reached for final
action. These facts show how near New
Mexico has been TO admission. Indeed. had
not Arizona been SGT of. she would perhaps
be State to-day.
In the census Of 1890 New Mexico had 1884,
07G inhabitants--not enough, without tho
addition OF Arizona. to equal tho Congress

that census. but moro than Idaho and Wy
omlng combined moro than Montana. and

according to Governor PRINCE In Idaho II
was only s2s.OOO.O0o and in Wyoming Sal.
0OO. 900 ut tho time OF their respective adnis
slons into tho Union. New Mexico's credit Ia
also good, in spite Of the general prejudice
against Territorial securities. Tho only
bonds she has issued during tho last
four years are $4,000 for tho completion OF

could DO bought
The natural resources Of New Mexico are
very abundant. Her minos, hor alfalfa
fields, her fine orchards. hcr great herds OF
sheep, nro known: and In addition she has
enormous and valuable beds OF coal. on
thraclte as we'll rs bitumlnous Her sys-
tom Of irrigation is making her agricul-
turo OF great Importance. and insur-
ing profitable crops. In most Western
States land grants made at the time Of their
admission have been used to erect public
institutions; but Now Mexico. without
Federal grant or aid o! any kind. has built
handsome Capitol. n university. an agri-
cultural college. school Of mines. penl-
tontiary. and an asylum for tho Insane.
Hcr people arc looked upon by many rs
foreign; but nearly all wore born on Ameri-
can solos out OF every 100. What other
portion OF tho country can show such fig
urcs? Sho sent $500 men into the Union
army. or moro than Colorado. and
moro than Nebraska, Oregon. and No
vada combined. She has had Legis-
lnturo OH tho American plan for over
forty years. and tho conservative tompcra-
ment Of her citizens OF Spanish descent is
pcrhaps really nm element Of stability and
strength. when combined with tho energy
OF other races. Willie her population In
creased % pcr cent. from 1889 to 1890. hcr
enrolmcnto OF children in the public schools
increased 2So per cent.
What Congress should do is to provide
for reinforcing Now No xico with Arizona.
which properly belongs to it. and then adj
hitting both rs ono great State. 1t would
then have splendid start In population
and resources. Congress shoald also divide
Utah between Nevada and Colorado. so
giving to the former for tho first time In its
history a population Of suitable numbers.
Then. with some rectitlcation Of boundaries
between Nevada. Utah. and New Mexico. wo
should havo the entire problem of tho Ter
ritones In tho Southwest properly solved.

The Rock OF tho Campaign.

We observe widespread feeling OF sur
prise that since the adjournment OF the
Democratic and Republican National Con-
ventions. each having declared against
FREQ silver. tho Republicans and Democrats
together should have rallied in the United
States Senate in sufficient numbers to
pass n free coinage bill. "A better illus
tration OF tho worthlcssness Of tho average
platform plank could not be found" says
the World Herald OF Omaha. 1t is tho most
prompt Reputation on record OF party
platform by large body OF it's adhercnts
Reputation OF this sort has been expert
enced before both at the hands Of robellious
factions and Of elected candidates. but never
with such degree of emphasis as this.
In this canvass both parties tenn with
contradictions Of ideas and preiudiccs that
may we'll make harmony incomprehensible
to the average observer not in the actual
arena Of fighting politics. But out OF tho
confusion there arises ono principle. md
only one. which is permanently safe from
criticism or dissent within the limits Of the
party championing it. and fortunately in
this case that party Is the Democracy. The
opposition to IL Force bill is incomparably
more conspicuous in the Democratic canvass
than it appeared in the party platform. for
the reason that during the existence Of such
anissue oil otherplanks. however, seriously
made and enthusiastically approved. sink
into comparative unimportance.
Tho platforms adopted at Chicago and ut
Minneapolis may be knocked into cooked
hats by various divisions OF their respective
sponsors. and may DO rehfflrmed and
smashed again for every successive week
until November, after the manner Of the
silver plank: but through any extremity Of
violence or dissension the Force bill plank
will come out sound. even II everything
else is left buried In wreck.
That is the immovablc and unifying issue
OF the canvass. 1t is tho rock OF Democ-
racy. Rally around it!
