of state. TO the Union


A resolution has been introduced into
congress TO the effect that ALI territory
acquired by the government mus,
be acquired and governed with the pur-
pose OF ultimately organizing such terri
tory into states suitable for admission into
the union According TO that il would be
our duty 10 permit any % our territories
to enter the union, whether this union
wanted them or not. which is going a good
deal beyond the old idea that states have
right TO secede from the union at Will
II is Well to remember that the constitu-
ton says new states may not must
bat maybe admitted by the congress
into this union" and then adds, in the
same section, that the congress shall
have power to dispose of, and make al
neeiful rules and regulations respecting,
the territory or other property belonging
to the United States" We suppose. then,
1t could dispose of it by selling ii or by
trading il for other property. and if il
could do 50 il could logically purchase
other territory. And if ii should make a
rule that a certain territory should be
held as a territory and not be admitted
as a state it would be acting clearly with
in its constitutional power.

1t seems to me incompatible with cor
rect morals to undertake to cheat; and
If forcing patrons to pay the war tax
meant by Congress to be paid by the
company is not cheating the only other
name for it will have to be .harsher
one. Not only is there about the trans
action more than the SAVIOR of dishon-

ism is shocking. At a time when the

they were asked in addition: to bear
the share of q great, rich corporation,
fattening its stockholders with big div

ACROSS THE COURT.

When Julia tends her singing birds :
And shakes her curls at them know
What makes them chirp and MARBLE SOL.
1 need not hear the laughing words :
With which che scolds her feathered pets,
Though they sound sweeter than the note,
The birds pipe from their golden Threats
And seem to aount my fierce regrets.
When Julia tends her birds and beams
Her sweetest smiles on them tits plain
That she's determined to disdain
All else that lives-or so 1t seems.
What cares she that my window. sill
With posy blows is all astir;
That 1 peer slyly out at her
In admiration and good will?

Our lots, and yet must confess
most presumptuous tenderness
For Julia's birds-and more besides. .

OF her sweet smile, It's plain 10 see;

Or even on these flowers of mine!

MR.. PHELAN'S CASE.

HE morning organ OF the committee OF one
hundred congratulates Mayor Phelan upon the
enviable position which he occupies in politics
before this community. After the long and some
times bitter fight in which he has been engaged for
good government" says this organ, 1T must be
pleasing him to find that the people OF all parties
look to him the one candidate for Mayor to be
seriously considered"
We do not hesitate to give currency to these con-
CALCULATIONS. Mayor Phean has certainly achieved
enviabe reputation irst-cass political DEM
agogue He is entitled especial credit for this be-
cause he is OF wealth and position and ought
to be in better business But he is certainly open to
the reward which awaits honest in politics.
That is to say, he will finally have the ponard thrust
into his vtals by grateful political party.
Mayor Phelan and the organ referred to ought to
be reminded, however, that exactly four years ago
another gentleman who had also gained the latter's
respect and veneration occupied the position
before his party that Mayor Phelan occupies to-day
We refer to Mr. Ebert This gentleman the sub
ject of congratuation all around He received the
unanimous nomination OF the reform parties for
Mayor, and everybody INDUCED the swelling pride
which now an1nates the organ in behalf of Mayor
Phelan.
But what was the result? The Populists nominated
Adoph Sutro against him. Mr.. Sutro is now dead
and compelled to speak OF him respectfully,
but a demagogue he the most artful have
ever seen. He played upon the public feeling with
effect. He fought Mr.. Huntington with wild des-
peration and promised that if he were elected he
would close up the Southern Pacific and give all his
property to the public
When the votes were counted Ebert was third in
the race. Even Dr. ODonnell, the quack candidate,
defeated the man in whom the organ few days be-
fore had felt just pride.
We do not refer to this matter for the purpose OF
disconcerting Mayor Phelan and his newspaper or
gan, but merely to remind them that politics is a
queer thing, and that when politicians parade their
Honesty" before the people they are taking desper-
ate chances 1t may be that there are large num-
bers of men in San Francisco who are even now
putting up job on Mayor Phelan. Undoubtedly il
they spring the right kind of candidate they will
land him where they landed Ebert

OF HYMNS.

An eminent Catholic divine, preaching
to a congregation mostly Protestant, gave

afterward If he knew the origin of that
hymn, he replied, "It is one of the oldest
and finest hymns of our church." He did
not know that it was written by a Uni
tartan woman. Is 1t not peculiar fact
that Cardinal Newman's hymn, Lead,
Kindly. Light" should be a favorite in all
Protestant churches, although he wrote
IL to describe the rest and peace he found
