But the Flfty-second congress, after
demonstrating the blunders and
wrongs Of its predecessors in this re-
spect, must not try to even them up
by perpetrating other blunders and
wrongs of its own.
There is right way of taking all
the proper candidates for admission
into the Union forthwith. Unite New
Mexico and Arizona, which were sep
arated thirty years ago, and admit
them as one state. They came to US
as a single tract, and in population,
resources, business interests and pros
poets stlll have the closest afinlhes.
Their combined populations exceeded
2lS,OOO in 1890, and they would enter
the union as fine, strong state, self
supporting at the outset, and able to
hold its own in the race with all neigh
bers.
The greater part Of Utah, including
Salt Lake, should at the same time be
combined with Nevada, the part east
Of line formed by the prolongation
of the western boundary of Wyoming
going to Colorado. Nevada and Utah
combined would then have a quarter
of a million of people and would form
another strong state. Nevada would
be free from the reproach resting up
on her for twenty-eight years, while
Utah, With four-afths of the popula-
tion of the new state, would probably
consider that she was annexing Ne
vada. With these general arrange
ments agreed upon, it would be easy
to make some rectiflcations in bounda-
ries, particularly in the northwestern
corner of Arizona, where the portion
north Of the Colorado should go TO
Nevada when it had annexed Utah.
As for Oklahoma, the last report of
its governor claims 1873, 10 people for
the territory, exclusive Of those Indi-
ans who still maintain tribal relations
and eighty-hye per cent. of the popu-
lation is white. But, as if recognizing
! that this may not be accepted as
ground for admission, a convention
held at Guthrie this week wants con
gress to abolish tribal government and
take the Indian territory and Okla
homa into the union as one state,
That, however, cannot be done unless
the Indians consent The govern.
ment of the United States has pledged
its word that no state lines shall evel
be drawn around the lands belonging
to some of the civilized tribes, anC
has also solsmHly promised them loca
government. Only the consent Of tht
tribes can release the government
from these pledges. Oklahoma anC
the Indian territory would make ;
populous and in many ways an inter
esting state, but much remains to b'
done before such state can b.
formed

TO ADMIT THE TERRITORIES

From tn New York Sun.
A plan is under consideration for
bringing into the union by an omnibus
bill all the territories, except, Of
course, Alaska, which has only about
5000 white people, and the Indian
territory, which could only be made
state by the consent of the five civil
lied tribes.
This project is very good, provided
it is carried out in the right way. The
experience Of Nevada, Montana, Idaho
and Wyoming teaches us clearly what
to do and what not to do with Ari-
zona, New Mexico, Utah and Okla
hOma.
Nevada has been a state mole than
twenty-eight years, yet her population
at the last census was only 40, 76l,
while the apportionment for repre-
sentative in congress based on that
same census is 1890 The Sage
Bush state, after being in the union
for more than a quarter Of a century,
with as large a vote in the senate as
the state of New York, has hardly
more than a fourth Of the population
fixed by law for representative, and
actually had ons-fourth less popula-
tion in 1890 than ten years before.
The example shows the error Of pre-
maturely admitting thinly settled
territories, on the theory that they
will soon grow up to equality with the
other states. Montana was admitted
on a population which in 1890 was
still moro than 10000 below what is
fixed for a representative ia congress
Dakota, instead Of being admitted as
a single state, was cut ln two, and tn,
northern half showed in 1890 only
1872, 119 inhabitants. Idaho was ad
mitted with population of 81, 1856 anC
Wyoming with 6O,7O5, so that the two
combined fell nearly $4,000 short o
the new ratio for one representative
Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada, with
total population of only 1870, s51 in 1890
or not so many as good-sized town
have as great numerical weight in tn
senate as Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iii
nois combined.
What is clear, then, is that we wan
no more rotten borough states. Ari
zona to-day deserves admission a
much as Wyoming did, and New MeS
, leo deserves it far more than Idaho
having population greater in 1S9
than Idaho and Wyoming combined

A VISITORS VIEWS.
From Santa 10 Now MexIean.

From Santa Fo New Mexican.
In conversation with a group Of citi-
zens from central New Mexico at the
Palace hotel yesterday Mr.. L. r. Brit
ton, Of Denver and Salt Lake, man
ager Of the Irrigation Age, silenced
all boasting Of New Mexico's resources
-and capitalists by saying:
"Just so long as the legislature con-
tinues to appropriate $500 or $500 for
the annual maintenance Of your ter
ritorial bureau of immigration, or any
similar pittancs, just so long will New
Mexico remain at standstill."
Asked later as to the cause of this
observation, the Irrigation Age nan
said;
81 have been in Santa Fe three
days. 1 have met and talked with
representative people from every sec
tion Of this territory, and 1 have heard
from them statements concerning
New Mexico's resources which can
not question. 1 have travelled some
what over the territory and made per-
sonal examination Of the country and
its natural resources, and l am con-
vinced that combination of wealth
producing elements exists here which
is simply marvellous; no state in the
union can excel New Mexico in this
respect; no state can approach it save
California, and in some respects, par
ticularly in the matter of coal and the
variety Of its mineral products, even
that state is laid in the shade by New
Mexico Take Colorado; that state
boasts of its climate, its fruit growing
possibilities, but these are nothing as
compared with New Mexico's same
interests. l am satisfied also that
water here is more valuable in proper
tion than in any other section of the
west; the greet variety Of productions
and climate make it so.
"But who knows of these things?
Absolutely nobody. You people set
here and enjoy the good things Of life
in most selfish manner. You do
not invite the enterprising home seek
er and capitalist to come and help de-
velop these resources. People at large
have not the least conception of New
Mexico's advantages. You have only
to give the bare facts to the world to
inaugurate grand rush Of immigra-
tion toward New Mexico. The Lord
helps those who help themselves. 1t
would be good thing if every member
of the legislature would donate one
days salary to properly advertising
New Mexico, and then turn round and
appropriate S10,0o for making the bu
reau Of immigration reach out to the
utmost corners Of the earth in herald
ing the claims Of the future greatest

THE GALVESTON ARTEsIAN WE'LL
From tho Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
An interesting experiment was re-
Gently concluded in Galveston, Texas,
in the boring Of an artesian well over
1900 feet in depth. The water supply
Of the city Is furnished by 13 artesian
wells varying in depth from s25 to
/, ,35o feet, but the water is totally un-
fit for drinking and domestic use.
The city concluded to invest S75, 900 in
order to procure supply of pure
water. The well was started with a
% inch casing. INSIDE this casing a
10 inch pipe was sunk to a depth of
$40 feet, and inside Of this a 10 inch
pipe was telescoped to a depth of
1900 feet. Then a inch pipe was
telescoped to depth of 1893 feet. A
6 inch pipe was then inserted and a
depth Of 3,070 feet 8 inches was at
tanned. No water was found nor was
any rock penetrated. The contract
ors have complied with their contract,
which was to bore to the depth of
5000 feet, were paid $4,000, and fur
ther work abandoned.
The well is the deepest on the sea-
coast in the United States, and de-
scription of the different strata pierced
by the boring is interesting. From
the surface to a depth of 46 feet there
was a stratum Of gray sand, thence to
depth of 64 feet was layer of red
clay and shells, thence to a depth of
100 feet was a stratum Of blue clay,
sea shells aud fragments of rotten
wood. From this to 3l5 feet sands
and sea shells were encountered, and
from that depth to the S15 feet lsvel
sand and clay were discovered From
the S15 feet level to the depth of 1,28S
feet sand, clay, sea shells and deeayed
wood were found, and from that depth
to the 3,070 feet level varying strata Of
sand, clay and large logs were encoun-
tered At the very bottom of the
hele bed of sea shells was struck.
The contractors expended $685. be-
fore they completed the work.
