ONE of the curlosities of the recent cold weather in Allentown, Pa, was the freezing fast to the wet rails of three long and heavy coal trains. One of them suffered an accident, compcll- ing it to stop, and when it was ready to move its one hundred and twenty five cars were frozen fast and could not be moved. One train after another came along on the same track and, on stopping for those in front to move, suf. fcrcd the same fate. It was several hours before the blockade was raised.

THE formation of an annexation club at Amherstburg, Ontario, with a mem- bership of 200, and an attendance of five hundred approving citizens at it first meeting, shows the drift of senti- nent that has set in favorably to a union of Canada with the United States. It is problem which the Canadian peo- pie will have to work out for them selves. The American people can occu- py no other than a passive position, leaving to the Canadians the active work that will lead to the solution of the problem. When they shall decide to come it is not likely that the United States will decide not to receive them.

The State of Nevada,

Mr. Oates. Of Alabama, proposes e
Introduce into the House OF Representa-
lives a bill providing for the erection OF a
new State TO be formed out OF the State
pf Nevada and the Territory of Utah.
This bill cannot become a law without
causing a commothon in the land. In tn,
urst place, the Federal Constitution pro
yides that no new State shall be formed
by the junction of two or more States
Or parts Of states. without the consent
VI the legislatures OF the States con-
cerned, as well as OF the Congress. The
LEGISLATURE OF Nevada is State Legisla-
ture and might constitutionally consent
IL be attached To another state, but
not to Territory, which has no such
seg sla ture as that described I'm the Fede-
rai Consutution-namely. State Legis-
;atHre.
Tbe consent Of territorial legislature
would be nothing more nor better than
he consent Of Congress itself; seeing
That q territorial legislature is the crea-
lure OF that body. and that the laws
ps'fSAod by such legislature have &c
10 approved by Congress. So II Mr..
ostes's bin should be enacted into law.
and tho consent of Utah were given TO
The formation OF a new State out OF the
two, the whole proceeding ought 10 be
held by the rest VI the States 10 be @
nullt,y.
The right OF Nevada TO consent 20 her
own undoing may be a debatabIe question.
but no such question can arise as TO
her equality with the other States In
the Onion There is no doubt at all upon
the subject. and there would be none II
her population were reduced to 2o,0Q

Prntncf IIs-Rnt Not Ofhare

The Washington Post of yesterday con-
tains two paragraphs intimating that
the Democrats of West Virginia are ready
| and willing to protect West Virginia in
dustries but not New England indus
tries. Here Is one of those paragraphs:
1.-The West Virginia Democrats are quite
willing that tariff reduction be tried on
the New England purp."
This remark is based. no doubt, upon
a telegram which appeared in Wednes-
days Post, stating that the Chesapeake
backed up a convention OF West Virgin
ians interested in the coal business, in
asking Congress not to take the tariff
of imported coal, seeing that to abolish
those duties would be to throw thousands
OF miners out Of work in both Virginia
and West Virginia But this is one of the
duties which the New York Sun and
other Democratic papers claim that the
people decided In favor Of last November
when they elected Mr.. Cleveland Presi-
dent. Here is the other paragraph from
the Post:
Chairman Wilson does wisely TO close
the Ways and Means hearing. There was
danger OF another visit by West Virginia
Democrats"
Mr.. Wilson Is a Vlrginian by birth. but
West Virginian by adoption. He is rs
conscientious and courageous as the most
conscientious and courageous man in the
House OF Representatives. He did not
close the hearings before his committee
because he was afraid that too many
West Virginians would demand at his
hands protection TO their industries, but
in order that he might have time to pass
his new tariff bill during the current
session OF Congress. 1t is a troublesome
question TO be presented TO the average
congressman, but one in which Mr.. Wilson
will not shirk his duty.
