ONCE A STATE ALWAYS A STATE.


 In his eloquent speech Sargent s. Prin- tass. of Mississippi, said: "When you de- eide that Mississippi can no longer choose her own representation at that self-same moment forever blot from the flag of the union the star that glitters to the name of Mississippi. but leave the stripe behind, a fit emblem of her dis honor and degra adation.' This was am eloquent appeal, but had no founda tion in fact. There is no power that can blot from tine flag a star that glitters for a sovereign state Once a state. always a state. There is no back-sliding. Even fighting, as did Nevada, 1t cannot be de- prived of statehood. This is an inde- structible union of indestructibe states In the days of chivalry the spurs of a knight were struck off if he committed a dishonorable deed. but the crown of statehood once donned must be forever worn.

Forest Reserve Problem Again

Chicago Post.
Ii viii be remembered that the senate
at the last session adopted an amendment
10 the civil appropriation bill setting
aside Mr.. Cleveland's order IN relation to
forest reserves and restoring the lands 10
the public domain. The house refused to
concur In this important amendment, and
this difference caused the failure OF the
bill Now President Mckinley Is con-
fronted with the same grave difficulty.
On the one hand 1t is 10 be borne IN
mind that the Cleveland order was made
not only in pursuance OF a weil-settied
and approved policy but upon the rec.
ommendation OF singularly competent
and trustworthy body OF practical
scientists, the American forestry Associ-
alton and the National Association for
the Advancement Of Science. On the
other hand. while the opposition to previ-
Gus orders OF the same kind was feeble
and entirely selfish. the protest against
Mr.. Cleveland's order of last February
was so energetic, general AMI weighty

AN ASSAY OFFICE.

The Chamber of commerce has renewed
It's efforts to secure an assay Office located
at Seattle. The committee having 1t IN
charge has been directed TO send petition
to congress for the passage OF the neces-
sary act. The cost to the government will
be so small that there is little difficulty
on that score. The chief obstacle will be
the opposition of San Francisco, which
enjoys the advantage. and could not be
expected to look very favorably upon the
establishment OF one at Seattle. which
would divert considerable business from
the California metropolis.
Spokane would probably not oppose 1t.
since 1t would detract nothing from the
business of that city, but it cannot be
expected to take any very active interest.
AS so large a proportion OF the congress
sional delegation halls from there. some
outside help would be very desirable.
Friends OF members from other states
could do good service by writing now to
them In advocacy of the bill. so that they
may take favorable action when IT comes
before them.
