A PROSPECTIVE STATE.
Atlanta Journal.

1t is probable that Okla homa and the Indian
Territory will soon be admitted to the Union
as one State. No other Territory ever gained
population so fast. and If the proposed new
State were admitted now it would outrank
fifteen of the present States in point of num-
bers. 1t is believed that there are $50 600
people in Oklahoma and the Indian Terri tory,
and the mum ber is increasing very rapidly
OF the 650,000 people in these Territories
$4,000 are white people. There are 90 900
individual farm-owners and 10000 persons
engaged in other occupations. 1t is natural
that this great population should clamor for
itatehood, especially since Congress has con-
ferred it upon several Territories with not
one-ffth as much population as Ok ahoma has.
