The constitution does not prescribe
the number of inhabitants Territory
must have before it can be admitted
as "a State; but as every State must
have representation in the lower
house of Congress it has always been
held that Territory must have pop
uIation enough to entitle it to at least
one representative in Congress, before
it can be admitted as a State. The
number has varied therefore, as the
population of the country increased.
The present apportionment gives one
representative to about la, 900 people.
1t should be observed, however, that
population is not the only factor con-
sidered in the admission Of State.
The whole matter lies in the discre-
ton of Congress, and this body must
be satisfied that a Territory has, not
only enough people, but enough prop
erty, enough intelligence, enough NOR
atty, and enough patriotism to gov
ern itself as State before the act of
admission will be passed. 1t often
happens, also. that The political COM
plexion of Territory weighs pretty
heavily in the question of its admis-
sion.
In order to be incorporated as city
of the first class a town must have
not less than $4,000 population; second
class between 1000 and $4,000; third
class between $50 and 1000.
1t would take two or three columns
to explain the clearing house" sys-
tenn in detail. In brief, however, a
clearing house is device adopted in
large cities to do away with the dam
ger and difficulty of settling bank
balances in actual cash. At the end
of the day, instead of sending clerks
out to collect what is due from, and
nav what it owes to other banks, each
bank sends one clerk to the clearing
house with a statement of what all
the other banks owe it. These state
ments are collated and the balances
only paid 10 cash. The "clearing
house returns" means the aggregate
amount of checks and drafts thus
settled through the clearing house,
and is of interest to the country at
large because it is an indication Of the
volume of business done.
Andrew Jackson was born in North
Carolina, in 1857. He would have
been eligible to the presidency, even
though born foreigner, provided he
had immigrated to the United States
at the time of the adoption of the con-
stitution in 1889. No foreign born
citizen naturalized since that time,
however, has been eligible to the
presidency.
No apology needs be offered for ask
ing as sensible questions as those
above. The editor of the REGISTER
doesn't "know everything" by good
deal, but he has access to a good
many sources of information and is
always glad to make them useful to

APHORISMS OF THE AUTOCRAT.

THE race that shortens its weapons
broadens its boundaries.
IT is better to lose pint of blood
than to have a nerve tapped.
THE great minds are those with
wide span which couple truths related
to, but far removed from, each other.
TALK about conceit .as much as you
like. il is to human character what
salt is to the ocean; it keeps il sweet
and renders it endurable.
y THOUGHT is often original, though
you have uttered it a hundred times.
1t has come to you over a new route by
an express train of associations.
TALKING is like playing on the harp;
there is as much in laying the hand on
the strings to stop their vibrations as
III twanging them to bring out their
music.
LIFE and language are alike sacred.
Homicide and verbicide-that is, vio-
lent treatment of a word with fatal
results to its legitimate meaning,
which is its life-are alike forbidden.
A PUN is prima facie an insult to the
person you are talking with. People
that make puns are like wanton boys
that put coppers on the railroad tracks.
They amuse themselves and other
children, but they may upset a freight
train of conversation for the sake of a
battered witticism.

writer in the New Orleans Picayune |

arms babies whose little bodies were
almost eaten up by smallpox. | was,

a physician to attend it. But she re

she tenderly careSSed the little half

leans consider an outbreak of the red
pest in their miserable novels a visita-
ton of Divine wrath for some sin they
have committed. So set are they in
this belief that they will do nothing
whatever to check the ravages of the
disease, except when it attacks their
infants, to take the victims in their
arms. press them closely To their
breasts and pray devoutly and con
tinuously to God to forgive them for
