the advancing power of our own day
by those who Still remain in love with
feldal times must end in the victory of
and the complete overthrow
of the present party, which supports
the emperor through thick and thin.
He runs great risk of falling with his
ardent supporters, and his appeal to

The talk of organizing the northern
sections of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan into the commonwealth of
Superior will probably end in talk.
There are numerous obstacles In the
way, the chief of them all being the
fact that it is necessary to deal with
the legislatures. The constitution of the
United States provides that congress
shall admit new states into the union
but no state shall be formed or created
within the jurisdiction of any other
state, nor any state be formed by the
junction of two or more states or parts
of states without the consent of the
legislatures of the states concerned, as
we'll as of congress-. This is where tile
rub comes. The first step will be the
hard one; after the consent of the leg
islatures of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan has been obtained the rest
Will be easy. There are some prece-
dents for this action, but not many.
Kentucky was created out of Virginia
and West Virginia. The legislature,
in the case of kentucky, gave Its CON-
sent. but the admission of West Vir-
giria was brought about during the
late war in a somewhat irregular man
ner, the forty western counties organic
ing a state government and electing
United States senators who We're add
mitted to seats as senator's from the
state OF Kanawha. Later the name
was changed to West Virginia by a
constitutional convention. These pro-
ceedings had a flavor of irregularity
and there is even now trouble between
the "old Dominion and West Virginia
over the proper proportion each should
bear of the state debt.
