1t would be the height of folly, at this
time to admit Arizona and New Mexico to
the tisterhood of states. We have pocket
boroughs enough already, notably Nevada,
whose population is now hardly 5000 peo-
pie. There is not city government in
Maine that does not embody more dignity
and ability than the Legislature Of that
State, and yet it has the power to send two
members to the United States Senate, who
have the same powers there as the senators
from Maine who represent more than 20
times as large population. There is no
reason to believe that either. Arizona OF
New Mexico will ever be very far in ad-
vance of Nevada. They have little arabic
land. Their population is largely Mexican
and half-breed. There is every reason
why these territories should not be permitted
the right of sending four senators to Con-
gress. With Utah the case was different.
1t had prosperous towns, and cities
immense resources, both mineral and
agricultural, and a large and growing
American population. 1t has schools and
seminaries Of learning, and had it not been
for the polygamous practices of the Nor
mon church, would doubtless have been ad-
mitted to statehood some time ago. The
country has had two many illustrations of
the extent to which greed of power will
carry political parties; but it is certainly to
be hoped that the Democracy will not make
the mistake of comforting the powers and
dignities of statehood upon territories so
untitled for them as are Arizona and New
Mexico.

"Those who were able last year to lay

can get anything. The Civic Federation

The unhappy conditions that exist in Chi
csgo exist also in other large cities of the
Union. Democratic members Of Congress
led by President Cleveland, persist in
the mad effort to strike down the indus
try of the country while thousands of
people in this once prosperous land,
unable to obtain employment. are eat
ing the bread of charity. When and what
will be the end of this is question that the
people are asking one another. Present
conditions cannot endure indefinitely.
The answer is obvious. The people
have the power, and they will
bring the change. At the coming cleo
ton they will drive from power the in
competent Democracy, reassert the princi-
pies of protection, and move forward again
upon the magnificent march Of national
prosperity which was only interrupted by
the advent of the Democratic party to the
control of government affairs.

The Cominq Winter.

1t has been the earnest prayer of all patri-
otto American people that the hardship and
suffering that characterized last winter might
never again be known in the history of the
Republic. Never was private liberality more
needed, and never did it respond more gen.
erously. In all the large cities of the land
variou organizations were formed to keep
starvation from the doors of the needy
poor. Soup houses were erected in the
shadows of once busy factories grown silent
under Democratic rule, and in various other
ways the work of relief pushed forward 1t
was hoped that before another winter there
would be a revival in business; but this
hope seems doomed to disappointment. The
