ulation Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island have eight Republican senators. We have not the census returns before us, but these figures are not far out of the way.
 The injustice of the constitutional provision vesting shese diminutive Yankee commonwea,ths with such vast influence in National affairs is made all the more galling by the se,- ishness and sectionalism that has in- variably characterized its exercise. And the worst of it is there is no hope of getting rid of the evil except by amending the constitutions thing not likely to occur.
 With the exception of Nevada, a pocket borough brought into the Union solely for the purpose of enabling Yankee politicians to hold supremacy in the senate, the western states now sparseiy settled and of comparatively small population are rapidly increas- ing in population. Within a decade Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Arizona and New Mexico will each pass the million mark and thenceforth will continue ito in- crease in importance. Not so in the case of the diminuItive and sterile set dement's of Yankeedom. Their towns and cities, mostly peopied with a ser- vile population, wholly under the do- minion of the penny-splitting traders, money lenders and corporation man. agers who run the political machine in such communities, may gradually be- come more populous, but in the coun- try the tendency is the other way. Millionaires are now fencing in some of the Yankee states and converting what were once agricultural communi- ties into deer parks, and unless the failure of pasturage should sniff out such enterprises, Ehe corporation man. agers of Boston, New York and Phila- delphia will probably devote a large portion of interior New England to such purposes before the end of the next century But even then these wretched little plantations will con- tinue to hold possession of one-seventh of the seats in the United States sen- ate.

KEENE IN HIS BEST PLAYS.

Thomas Keene, whose coming to the Phoenix opera house next Monday and Thursday evenings awakens the most pleasurable anticipation in the minds of those who remember his former achievements, has had most inter esting career. Although he is known as a tragedian exclusively, and is known by no other work to the young CT generation of playgoers, the older heads and the longer memories know better, and they possess a lively ad- miration for the wonderful versatility that has been shown by this actor during his busy career. There is no branch of the drama in which MT. Keene has not played with distinc- tion and success. Comedy, burlesque, of an actor, he has appeared in. MT. Keene, after fighting his way up the bottom rounds of the ladder, found himself the leading man of Woods museum in New York, in the days when that organization was one of the most important in the Atlantic coast metropolis, and in fact in the whole country. That was in the days when stars travelled alone, and brought his plays with him, while the theater fur nished the company to support him Since then MT. Keene has taken up other plays, but he has devoted his at tention entirely to the classic and Shakspearean drama, and with such distinguished success that it is not strange that his earlier triumphs in other fields have been forgotten, and his wonderful versatility in large part a. memory

The Washington correspondent of the Los Angeles Times says: "The vote in committee by which the bill to admit Arizona into the Union was de- feated has been reconsidered. This action, however, does not portend any good for the bill, but it was done in order to enable Delegate Murphy of that territory Ito obtain a renomina- tion. If the bill was hopelessly lost in committee his chances, it was feared, would be very poor. It is simply hung up. Pending reconsideration, his chances for renomination are believed by his friends here to be good" Since the above was written Murphy has withdrawn from the contest; so now the committee need have no further hesitation in carrying out its original intention with reference to the state hood bill

DIMINUTIvE EASTERN STATES

St. Joseph CMo,) Gazette: Under provision of the federal constitution, essentially just, wise and necessary at the time of it's adoption, but which now operates injuriously, some of the east erm states exercise an Influence in the United States senate, out of all propor- tion to their population. Missouri has 9. population of about three mil lions, while Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island Connecticut and Delaware have less than three million inhabitants. Missouri has two senators, while the eastern states named have twelve. This single illus tration is sufficient ito show the exces- size influence of the eastern planta- tions in National affairs. Twelve of the votes cast in the senate against free coinage came from these eastern states, two of which are no larger than a Missouri judicial circuit, while tWo others are about the size of a Mis- souri congressional district
 The evils visited upon the country thSough the instrumentaEty of the votes of these Yankee states are in eonputable. The credit mobilier steal, by which the public domain and near Ky half billion dollars in spot cash were stolen by the Pacific railroad cor porations was promoted" by New Bnglant talent and stout,y supported by the senators from these eastern plantations. The same influences and the same votes were decisive in fhe controversy which eliminated in the massage of the credit strengthening act" the resumption law" and the expansion of the system of ''protec- tion" 10 proportions never dreamed of by the early champions of protection for infant industries The excesses practiced by the rump congress at the conclusion of the war, including the Eideous measures which placed the southern states at the mercy of the negroes and maintained the suprem- eeey of the ibarbarians by the use of the bayonet, were made possible by the undue influence of the senators from the same petty provinces. Every line
 f legislation upon the statute books Favorable to the extension of corpora sion influences in business and poli- tics and to the subjection of the coun- fly to the reign of trusts and monopo- Mics has had their support. Every ef- fort Ito protect the people or curb the rapacity of the corporations they have resisted. Most, if not all, the evils im- posed upon the land by unwise and wicked federal legislation during the past twenty-five years could have been prevented had it not been for the votes of the little Yankee plantations.
 Referring only to northern states end leaving the ex-slave states out of the account here is the situation: At Ehis time New York has two Demo- cratic senators. So has Indiana. Ohio has one, Illinois one, Wisconsin one, California one Taking into the ac- count the entire poulation of New York and Indiana and half the population of the states having only one Demo- cratic senator, these eight senators represent about fourteen million peo- pie.

CHlvAlRY ON BOTH SIDES.
Bravery OF Four Union Soldiers Equaied
by the Nobility of Confederate Captain.

by the NOBILITY OF Conteaornte Chpb8ins
The brigade of General W. B. Hazen,
an ideal soldier and the true hero OF the
battles Of Stone River and Mission Ridge,
advanced first to the assault at the battle
Of Pickott's Mills. For nearly an hour 1t
battled with valor nnd fortitude worthy
Of Its ronown under "a tro as terrible as
any that soldiers ever faced. While re-
treating under ORDERS firing resolutely as
1t fell back, the color sergeant of the One
Hundred and Twenty fourth Ohio, the
regiment On its right, commanded by that
typical American officer Colonel Oliver Fl.
Payne, stepped from the ranks and planted
the colors Of tho regiment as a rallying
signal within 90 yards of the Confederate
line. AS he did so and before he could re-
move his hand from tho staff he was shot
dead, and the colors fell with him, their
folds partially covering his body. Another
soldier of the same regiment then a{ivanc-
cd, and as he stopped to lift the colors he
too was instantly killed.
A third rushed forward to save the
treasured ensign and mingled his hearts
blood with that Of his devoted comrades.
A fourth soldier from the line Of the
One Hundred and Twenty fourth Ohio
then advanced at double quick toward the
fatal spot. 10 was corporal, wearing
his sword, but without his rifle, ana APP
parently about go years of age. He had
toll, iithe figure and his lace was hand
some despite tho powder stains upon 1t.
| AS he reached the point where the oolors
| lay many Of the Confederate soldiers called
| out to him to surrender. He smiled ut the
summons, and taking off his cap with his
left hand waved it toward them and then
bent down to grasp tho color staff with his
right. Many deadly bead was drawn
upon him by the uncrring marksmcn
whose rifles were cleaning in tho sunlight
! not 60 feet away when Captain william
Novel; of the Fourth Texas ri1os, in front
of whose company the fallen flag lay, call
cd out in clear, metallic voice that rang
along tho limo; Don't shoot For God 5
sake, mon, let the brave fellow take tho
colors."
His appeal was needed, and although
the limo continued its fire upon the retir-
ing Union troops the daring corporal was
CONSIDERABLY spared and bore the blood
dyed flag back to tho ranks Of his regi-
