NEW STATES.

Inc Louise Committee on Terrific
rfes has reported bills Tor the admis-
sion of Utah, Arizona and New Mex
leo into the Union. After quoting
President Harrison's proclamation Of
last January, declaring ~polygan,y
dead in Utah, the committee con-
clrded as follows:
Gail youths should be hustled and
all opposition ~silenced after the Pres
ident has arrested past offences; after
both the political parties in national
convention assembled have declared
that Tie time has come for the i'd
mission Of all Territories, of which
Utah is one, and after the Territorial
convention Of 1892, wherein both of
said great parties declared for State"
hood, and that the hour is ripe Tor
the admission of Statehood; after the
Governor of the Territory, and al. of
it's Territorial officers, and it's judici-
airy, all Of whom are Republicans in
politics, have declared, in their opin-
ion, polyGamy is abolished and at an
end; after all members OF the Utah
commission, created especially to
crush and obllLerate polyramy, have
declared their work practically ac-
complished; after the Mormon
Churcn, through all it's heads and Of
fcIals, publically, privately, and in
every way possible for mortals to do
AMI TO proclaim, have, with bowed
heads, if not in anguish, pledged
their faith and honor that never
more in future shall polyGamy exist
within the Mormon Church, or be a
doctrine of faith or practice. There
certainly can be but one sentiment,
but one opinion among all just mind.
ed legislators ir Congress upon the
question Of duty and that Of justice
to admit Utah as a State into the
federal Union"
The report favoring the admission
of New Mexico is of special signiti-
at this time, because it meets
so-called "know-nothing arguments"
which have SO often been advanced
against the admission Of this Terri
tory with its heavy Mexican born
population. The committee produces
statistics showing the proportion Of
foreign to nstive born population is
but one to fourteen in New Mexico,
while it is n to four in Washington,
d to three IN Montana and Yo to
three ia the OAK otas facts which
will be q great surprise to The public,
but which seem to be fully borne out
by official reports
Continuing, tho co nuiittee says:
"Can II be said that a native Of New
Mexico who r]euOupces his allegiance
TO the Republic OF Mexico over forty
years ago has less interest in the gov
ernment Of the United States, less
devotion to republican prlucIp.es or
less ~tiJness !Or full American citizen.
