CLEAR IF NOT COMFORTING.


of course our morning contemporary
does not like the President message.
TT hates the man and therefore dis
lpises all that he does and says. But
its comments on the message simply
cause a smile. 1t says "In point of
fact there is not a clear thing about
it," TO prove this our neighbor says
lit has not "a comforting sentence .
Well, a message may be very clear
without being in the least comfort
ling. The man who was selected to
break to nervous woman the news
Iof her husbands death and said:
Tom is smashed to jelly and they
are bringing in the corpse" was clear
enough but not very comforting.
To show that in the message there
lis the same verbose and roundabout
way of expressing ideas, which makes
the Presidents style so disagreeable, :"
our contemporary refers ''for in
stance" to the Presidents remarks on
the silver question, and exclaime.
That is comfort to the west! That is
craftsmanship for the westr Now
what has comfort to the west to
do with "a roundabout way of express
sion?"
Our neighbor inveighs again about
VERBOSE expression, and gives more
specimens of its own verbose express
sions'' in two or three columns than
|can be found in the whole message,
lengthy as it is, running through d
dozen columns of an ordinary news
paper" 1t would puzzle an acute
mind to make sense of a number of
longwinded sentences that contradict
each other in the same columns of our
contemporary which attempt to criti-
else the Presidents diction.
Lack Of understanding of the word
ing of the message indicates confusion
of mind Every paragraph is easily to
be understood. The message is long.
not because it is prosy but because it
touches on so many and so great a
variety of subjects. 1t is clear enough
to an ordinary reader. and is singular
~ devoid Of rhetoric and of obscure
expressions.
The Presidents views as to silver
or any other public question and his
manner of verbal expression are alto
gether different things Comfort and
clearness are not absolutely essential
clearness of the Presidents views on
several subjects is what gives such
cold comfort to our contemporary, and
that in speaking of his manner it
means rather his matter.
If those who live in, glass houses
should be careful about throwing
stones, those who reel off interminable
and turgid sentences, the purport of
which is difficult to discover. should
refrain from finding fault with the
plain, straightforward utterances of
the Presidents message, the chief
criticism of the composition of which
is its lack Of ornament and absence of
those rhetorical trimmings which so
frequently obscure theas sense in public
documents. Our morning contempor-
airy disIikes the man and so pitches
into his para eraDls

NEW STATES.

The opposition to the admission of
the remaining territories. which was
quite strong a few months ago. seems
to be gradually dying out. It is the
same i'll reference to Utah. Indeed the
sentiment as to statehood appears to
be more favorable to this than to the
other territories. 1t is generally CON
ceded that there is nothing substantial
in any argument against her admis-
sion. The Denver Republican, while
stating that the movement for state
hood for the territories is a Democratic
meaH.re yet endorses it in the follow
ing words:
We have called attention frequently,
in discussing the question of admit
ting new states. to the fact that the
purpose of the Union is not to main
tain subject provinces. but 10 enable
the people to establish local govern
ments. sovereign in some respects, but
subject in others to the national or
federal authority. In other words, this
is Union of states, and it will not
have attained its perfect growth until
all the territorial governments have
given way to state governments.
Whenever the inhabitants of a ter
ritory are able by virtue of their num-
Der and their wealth to maintain a
state. they should be permitted by Con
greSS to organize such "A government
if it is their desire to do so. This is
a. general principle, subject to only
very few exceptions. In case the in
habitants of a territory are unfit by
reason of their peculiar institutions
to maintain state government in har-
mony with the principles of American
civilization. they may we'll be deprived
Of the right to erect one of their own
There has been some question as to
whether Utah comes within the range
of this exception to the general rule
just named, hut it is commonly be-
lieved that polygamy has been so far
abandoned in that territory that moth
ing more need be feared on account of
it.
Discarding the question of polygamy
there is not the least doubt that both
in population and wealth Utah is en-
titled to statehood. The same is true
of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
The last census shows a small popula-
ton in Arizona, but since 1890 there has
been a large increase in the number
of the inhabitants of that territory
and there is ne doubt that this increase
will continue through immigration
Oklahoma is new territory, but it
has a large population. owing to the
enormous number of people who went
into that country when it was thrown
open to settlement. IT may be said
however that any bill for the admis-
sion of Oklahoma ought to include the
whole of the Indian territory. for that
would be the best way to solve the
question of what to do with the five
civilized tribes.
