The Republican glories in the stand taken by the members of the senate
 on the HayPauncefo,e HIP! HIP! treaty. By an over HURRAH! wheIming vote amend
 ments to the original treaty were adopted giving notice to the world that this government claimed, and would exercise, the right to fortify and control the isthmian canal.
 Why should We not control the big ditch? IL will be ours. Our money will have established the grand i'm provcment Is there any just reason why We should not control it? The governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, through whose domain the canal will run, are perfectly satisfied with the arrangement, and We are of the opinion that it is nobody else's busi- ness.
 The wedding of the oceans will mean much to Arizona. It will mean a har- bor on the gulf, where the world. steamers will meet a great conGn7ntal railway laden with products, not only Of our great eastern states, but from the rapidly developing mir $ and val leys of our own beloved terri ory.

O, I
 DON'T KNOW.

Oklahoma's career as a territory, which will be only ten or eleven years, is not quite so short as that of Califor- mia, which was knocking for admis- sion as a state before the politicians had time to organize it as a territory, or as that of the republic of Texas. which entered as a state without passing through the territorial stage. It will be shorter. however, than that of most of the territories. This is a distinction for Oklahoma which carries a good deal of significance with it.

praise keen foresight. The time is not far distant when Arizona will be covered by railroads as tiy web. Spurs will run up every valley to bring down the products of the soil, and to every mountain to carry away the wealth of the mines.
 Laugh, ye foolish ones. Call this a pipe dream if you will, but while you laugh and scoff the wise will profit by the evident signs of the times and pre- pare to reap the reward. Arizona is a territory today, but some day she will be a state. She lIas 100000 people on her roll today, but it will not be long ere she numbers ten times 100, 900. She is. rich in possibilities today but the magic of mans tireless industry will soon crown her the wealthiest state in Americas collection.

The bids on battle ships and armored cruisers opened last week show that as
 the amount of the con WE BEAT tract to be let was
 THE greater thar ever before
 WORLD. so the number of com
 petftcrs has increased. While a few years ago but one con cern in this country was prepared to turn out armored vessels, now eight concerns are in the bidding, although one or two of them, by bids above the congressional limit, seem to indicate that they are getting into the field for future rather than present contracts. The growth of ship building establish ments ready to undertake this most ambitious class of work, is one of the most satisfactory comments on the re- ported intention of a great English concern to absorb the chief American establishment with the purpose of es- tablishing exclusive control of the gov ernment contracts in both England and the United States.

ENTITLED TO A CHOICE.

Mrs. Custer says in Harper's Bazaar that she was with the Seventh cavalry that marched and camped and secuted on the route laid out for the Kansas Pacific railroad. The food was monot- onous and those on the march over the barren country would tell tantalizing tales of the good thirgs they had eaten in the states. The habit or hospitality was SO fixed, however, that the soldiers would merely add a plate for the visi- tor, or give up their own if there were not enough. An old officer, in crossing the plains, invited anothe. officer to dine with him. not knowing that his supplies were so low. The striker put the only two dishes On the mess chest table. The host took in the linn ited bill of fare at a glance and said: If you don't care for rice, help your self to rhe Tnustarr! '

 Years ago before competition was so keen, when the long mule teams brought their dusty loads over the desert from Yuma or from Los Ange- les, all that was necessary for the two or three merchants to do was to make the announcement that the good prairie schooner had arrived with it's cargo Of sugar coffee, whisky and calico. Even the announcement was superfluous be cause everybody knew of it's arrival as soon as the merchant. But when store after store of modern build banished the ancient, crumbling adobes, and block after block or Washington and Adams treets were made solid with fine brick structures, it behooved each en- terprising merchant to write more at tractive, more elaborate descriptions of the goods he received, and to seek, if possible ito lead the public iJ1 believe that his goods were of better quality and cheaper than those of his compat- itors.

Our dispatches state that Repre- sentative Waters, of California. re-
 gently introduced in the
 THIS house a bill authoriZ-
 IS ing the Navajo and
 RIGHT. Moqui Indians to lease
 for a term of not eX- ceeding twenty-five years, mineral lands within the exterior boundaries of their respective reservations. All moneys paid for the leases of these lands must be turned over to the in terior department, and then be used by the department for the good of the Indians as a whole. None but Indian labor will be employed in the develop ment of the leased land. Why should a small tribe of non-progressive red skins be permitted to occupy princely domains, which they make no effort to cultivate or impr5ve? Let the white man into these reservations. If there is any mineral wealth there they will find it, and finding will develop it, making themselves, the Indians and the world richer.

The bill introduced by Senator Fair banks last week providing for the ad
 mission into the Union
 AS of Oklahoma and In
 OTHERS dian Territory as one
 SEE state, it is said has q
 US. fair chance of passage
 at the present session of congress. This would pave the way for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico, which have becn clamoring for statehood for some years past. The republican platform of this year favored nome rule and the early ad- mission of the territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma" an1 the democratic platform denounced the failure of the republican party to perform its pledges to grant state hood to the territories named, an'i promised them immediate" statehood. This denunciatlon refers to the clause in the republican platform of 1896 in which the admission of the ''remain- ing" territories at the earliest practi- cable date, and with due regard to the interests of the people and of the United States is favored.
 There is some local opposition to the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as a single state. hS is sur missed, however, that inasmuch as Sen ator Fairbanks is in charge of the measure it will secure sufficient repub- Ecan support and that before March three more states will be created. The recent opposition to statehood for Arizona and New Mexico has been mainly political. It is said that state composed of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory will be democratic. With one of the national platforms declaring for the early and the other declaring for the immediate" entrance of these territories into the family of states, it would probably be difficult to make their exclusion a partisan movement with any show of success.
 According to the last census the pop ulation of Arizona is 123,212. It has more .han doubled since 1890, when the population was 59,62O. The Indians number 24,G44 New Mexico has not grown So rapidly. Its population is now 193, TIT; in 1S9O 153,59S; Indians, 2,937. Indian Territory and Oklahoma are advancing in popula tion at re- markable rate. The first named had 1 population of 1SO,1S2 in 1890. In 1900 the figures are 391,960; Indians, o6,OG3. Oklahoma's population has increased census returns show a present popula- tion of S,245, against 61,S54 for 1890. The Indians number 5,927. The pro- posed state, to include Oklahoma and Indian Territory. would have a popu- lation of nearly SOO,00O, which exceeds that or Colorado, Connecticut, Della ware, Florida, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Da- kota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wyoming seventeen states. So far as mere numbers go, the territoc- ies awaiting early admission indicate progressive communities. Arizona, the least populous of the group, has more inhabitants than Wyoming and Ne vada.
 The Cklahoma bill provides for only two representatives while the con- gressional apportionment likely to be adopted would give the new state seven representatives. When the three pro- posed states are organized the Union will consist of forty-eight states Philadelphia Public Ledger.

From every section of the country comes the same story of unprecedented
 activity in Christmas
 MONEY goods. Thronged stores
 AND and lavish purchases at BUSINESS. this season mean more
 than simply large sales of holiday gifts. More money is being spent in this way than ever before, be- cause the wage earners are well em- ployed at good pay. It is also note worthy that the better grades of goods are in urgent demand. These signs are encouraging, and promise a continual ton of prosperity in the first year of the new century. Labor is scarce in many branches of industry, and opera tions are delayed because skilled work men canot be secured, while the Atch- ison railway is embarrassed by strike of telegraphers. The actual volume of business may be best appreciated by comparison of bank exchanges. In the face of less speculative activity these reports of clearings at the fourteen largest cities show a gain over last year for the first week of December amount ing to 15.5 per cent, while the daily average for the full month of Novem- Der exceeded 1899 by III per cent, and 1898 by 36 per cent.
