The editor of the Two Republics

"If Congress should yield to the
clamor of New Mexico and Arizona
for admission to the Union, there
whould be at once two great States
controlled from the beginning
socially, politically and religiously
by the Romish hierarchy. No one
can predict what influence, des-
tructive of our cherished instltu-
tions, such States may not in time
exert over our land"
The above is taken from q pam
phlet issued by the Board of Home
Missions of the Presbyterian church
at New York for 1897. Can it be
that intelligent men will indulge IN
such narrow contracted nonsense,
and especially in matter of which
the above shows they know roth
ing. 1t says "there would be at
once two great States controlled
from the beginning socially, po-
litica!ly and religiously by the
Romaish heirarch y."Nothing can
be further from the truth, of which
the members Of the board must
certainly be aware if they know
anything about the existing con-
ditions here at all. But even if il
were true, do these religious pro
fessors set themselves up to be the
Judges as to what class of people
must inhabit territory for it to
become eligible to Statehood? Is
not this the mixing of church and
state, which is forbidden by the
constitution? Do these men mean
to tell us that because mans
faith happens to be that of q
Catholic, no is to be deprived OF
his citizenship? II intimates that
to admit territories containing this
class of people would cause social
and religious rebellion. There is
a great deal more danger in ex.
pressing such sentiments as the
above then admitting territory
even if its people were cannibals,
If the reverened gentlemen who
published the pamphlet IN question
| would devote their energies to the
upbuilding of their church instead
of attempting to meddle in affairs
Of State they would probably not
be compelled to complain of q
large deficit in their yearly receipts
as they do in the pamphlet in ques
ton. Of course it is popular al
present in the east TO blackmaiI
the two territories for the polite
lans want no more western Sena
tors, and we suppose the Board o.
Home missions thought they must
kick too, IN order to be in the
swim.

ARIZONA boasts territory of
ll3,O2O square miles and a popula.
ton of $1,000. New Mexico lays
claim to a population of 267, $3.50
and an erea of l22,5s0 square
miles. Both make claims for
statehood suffrage, yet it is hoped
congress for years to come will lend
no willing ear to these cries from
the desert lands. Population and
men of character that will do credit
to state and general government
are requisites, not breadth and
length of territory" The above
from the Troy Press is an indica-
ton OF the slack ass" editorials
that prevade the eastern papers, op-
posed to the admission of any
more western states. "Population
and men of character that will do
credit to state and general govern
ment are requisites" says the
Press. Arizona's, wealth and popu-
lation exceeds that possessed by
the majority of the states at their
admission. AS far men ofcharacter,
the great west is that portion Of
this nation to which the govern
ment will yet be compelled to seek
her broad minded liberty loving,
patriotic citizens, for the purpose
of making laws under winch
Americans can live. We hope
| Congressman will not be so narrow
minded on this subject as portion
of the Eastern press.

away, she put it to her brow, as she
gazed at me with open lips for a mo-
ment, and then exclaimed: "Juliano,
Have you indeed returned?"
Thompson seemed scarcely to have
noticed the sudden way in which Mar
garita had withdrawn her hand for he
had stopped to pick up from the floor
the photograph at which she had been
gazing SO intently, at the moment we
surprised her, but at her exclamation,
which was almost a cry, he turned
quickly with it in his hand.
"Juliano!" he exclaimed; "you know
him then? And this-this is his pic
ture, too-ah.' AT the moment he
spoke, she sprang past him, and before
either of us well knew what we were
doing, l had thrown my arms round
her and drawn her to my heart, while
she murmured softly: "Juliano, Juli-
ano."
1t was at least a minute before I
looked up, but when l did so it was to
see Thompson standing like a man
turned to stone, but with his face
strangely distorted by passion. so that
for the moment l should hardly have
known him. AS his eye caught mine
his expression altered suddenly to a
smile, and muttering, hastily: "Ah, ex-
cuse me, l will not interrupt" he
dropped the photograph on the floor
and, before l saw his intention passed
suddenly through the open window and
disappeared.

SYNOPSIS.

The narrator Of the story, who has re-
,eutly spent year and a half in cuba,
where he has made many friends and fall
en- in love with a Cuban girl, is engaged by
the editor of the Universe to accompany
"a ilibustcrng steamer, with q cargo of
supplies, TO the island. He meets the second
mate, one Thompson, at the wharf, on a
dark night, and together they board the
steamer. The latter starts. and on the
voyage Thompson and the narrator become
quite friendly. The steamer approaches
the Cuban shore at night, and there are
Indications of Il hurricane. She seeks
shelter in a bay, but is surprised and fired
on by a Spanish sunboat, ana, making for
the sea, receives the full force of the hur-
iiranc. The narrator ana Thompson are
on dec., when land is discovered directly
ahead. Thompson warns the narrator
that they win strike bottom in five min
utes.
