Custer rode gallantly to his death in
his last charge, it sent thrill of pain
throughout the length and breadth
of our land, for in his death one of the
most daring and unselfish Of men had
perished, nor can it be doubted, had he
been spared, he would have been one
of the most potential factors in bring.

Admiration to the Union Is Hazardous ts
Financial Safety.
The people of Oklahoma, New Mex
leo and Arizona arc anxious for state
hood. Bills providing for the admis'
sion of the two latter communities into
the sisterhood of American common
wealths passed the Fifty-Third house,
but failed in the senate. An earnest
attempt to secure an entrance for all
three territories will undoubtedly be
made during the lifetime of the present
congress.
On the ground of population oklaho-
ma, with 275,O00 inhabitants, and New
Mexico, with $4,000 citizens, can pre-
sent plausible claim. Arizona, with
only 77,000 people, exclusive of Indians,
within its bounds, has n much weaker
case. There are other considerations
of far greater weight, however, which
enter into the problem.
This nation is traditionally hospita-
BILE to applicants for the privileges and
powers of states. The gates OF the
union have swung open with fire.
