ABOUT STATEHOOD.

ambition Of the three Territories to
become States:
The three Territories of Arizona.
New Mexico and Oklahoma, have ap-
parently satisfied the Committee on
Territories of their right to Statehood.
Congress has stood them off from year
to year, though with each fresh appeal
their claims have grown stronger.
Why should we delay longer with re-
spcct to Arizona. unless it may be to
wait until she is populous enough to
divide and make two states, as in the
case of Dakota? She has an area near
ly as large as New England anu New
York combined, and a popufation of
10000 with $200,000,000 of property
to tax for the support of State govern
ment- New Mexico possess even
more interchangeable requisites for
statehood. In extent 1t Is about equal
to the State of New York. The census
gives it nearly 100000 inhabitants, but
