In an unfair editorial on Gov.
Hughs' report the New York Sun
says his plea for statehood need
not be needed, and that Arizona
must remain Territory for several
years to come as she is not fit fol
Statehood. The same article says
that Oklahoma is ready for State
hood and ought to be admitted
From the tone of the article W.

about as much concerning Ari

THE TERRITORIES.


of congress, says the Denver Re.
publican, a strong effort should be
made to secure the admission Of
New Mexico, Arizona and Okla
homa. All three of these territol,
les are entitled to admission, and il
would seem that if the proper
efforts were made success could be
achieved.
Oklahoma is new, and therefore
it has less reason than the others
to complain of delays that have
occurred in its attempt to secure ad'
mission. But both New Mexico
and Arizona have waited a long
time, and this is true especially OF
the former. By the treaty ol
Guadalupe Hidalgo it was stipulat-
ed that the people of the territory
ceded by Mexico should be clothed
with the rights of American citizen.
ship as soon as practicable. They
and their defendants, together
with the people who since then
have made New Mexico and Ari-
zona their homes, having long been
fitted to exercise the rights OF
American citizenship. But selfish
considerations have caused the
east to oppose the erection of state
governments in those territories.
In consequence of this delay
their progress and development
have been interfered with. People
do not like to emigrate to a ter
ritory, and capital finds objections
to investment in such community.
The love of self government, which
is so strong in the American peo-
pie, causes them to seek homes in
places where they may enjoy the
right of governing themselves
rather than in those in which that
right is denied.
A territory is governed as q
province of the federal government
and it represents a condition of af-
fairs in conflict with the spirit of
the constitution. The constitution
contemplates a union of states and
not the government of parts Of the
country as subject provinces. CIR
cumstances may render it necessary
tc~inaintain a territorial govern
ment for a while, but the principles
underlying the union demand that
such a government shall be con-
tinued no longer than the neces-
sity exists. As soon as the inhabi-
tants of territory are capable of
maintaining a state government
they should be permitted to. erect
such government.
But in the east spirit of op-
has arisen in the case of
New Mexico and Arizona on the
plea that the admission of those
territories would throw too much
power to the west in the national
legislature. II is a plea based up
on the theory that the relations Of
a state to the federal government
are the most important to be con-
sidered in its connection. AS a
matter of fact, however, the most
important are it's domestic or local
relations. The welfare Of its citizens
is but remotely connected with the
action of their representatives in
congress, if comparison be made
with the influence upon their well
fare of state legislation.
The three territories named have
both population and wealth enough
to maintain state government, and
since they wish to throw aside the
hinderances of a territorial gov
ernment the right to do so should
not be denied.

sewers Needed.

The city council some time ago ap-
pointed committee and employed civil
engineers to draw plans and estimates
for sewer system for The Dalles. That
committee made its report some time
ago, fling plans and estimates. Since
then nothing has been done with the
matter. The cost of the proposed sys-
TENS was SO large that the council prob
ably realized that it was out of our reach
at present However this may be, one
fact remains, and that is that something
must be done towards putting in new
system of sewers, or repairing the old
ones. The high water last summer
caused the. ground to settle around the
old sewers, and in many places they are
broken. When the gentle spring shall
come again, unless something is done,
there will be an odor pervading the
city's atmosphere that will not be mis-
taken for the perfume of the unassuming
violets. It has been proposed to bond
the city to raise the necessary money,
but the tax payer at the mere suggestion
grabs his pocket with as tenacious grip
as he will have to his nose next summer,
and utterly refuses to consider any bond
ing system, aud yet, "What are you
going to do about it?''

FOUR VOTES SHORT.
DOlph Loses One by Change and One by
Sickness, Now Has Az.

The returns from Salem today are not
at all favorable to Dolph. He lost one
vote by change and one of his supporters
was unable to help him, being confined
to his bed by sickness. The vote was as
follows: Dolph AZ, Moore IL, Hermann
10, Bennett 8, Hare 10, Williams 2,
Lord 8, Lowell L, Barkeley L. This was
the result on the first ballot taken this
afternoon.
Dolph losing, puts his case in bad
shape and will only serve to encourage
those who are fighting him. The defec-
tion is the wrong way to give any hope
that Dolph can win. Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad, and
when Dolph is defeated the financial
question will be no nearer settlement
than before, while Oregon's chance of Sc
curing further favors from the river and
harbor committee will be gone. There
is no use of firing blank cartridges at the
boiling Legislators. Petitions and plead
ings have failed to move one of them,
and all that can be done is to let the
disease run it's course. The free silver
republicans have the bits in their teeth
and are running away at a speed that
will only result in their own undoing
and the wreck of the outfit.
