The Omnibus Statehood Bill.

From the st. Joe Gazette.
The house handed Davy Henderson
another one when it passed the social
ed omnibus bill, which admits Oklaho-
ma, Arizona and New Mexico to state
hood. Davy didn't want this bill to
pass, and had set his pegs to trip it,
but, somehow, since the defeat Of the
Cuban reciprocity bill, the boys are
not giving Davy much consideration.
He is underneath, as it were.
The plan to combine Arizona and
New Mexico as the state Of MOntezu-
ma was part of Davy's plan to defeat
the omnibus bill by amending it to
death That the amendment was de-
feated by the overwhelming vote of 1O6
to %, shows the prestige of Davy and
his combination.
The opposition was based on the be-
lief that all the three territories may
send democratic senators to congress
notwithstanding that two of them,
New Mexico and Oklahoma, are rep
resented in the house by republican
delegates.
Students of politics in the territories
admit that they are likely to return
democratic or republican majOrities.
Recent indications point conclusively
to the belief that Oklahoma and New
Mexico will be carried by the demo
Gratis at the next election.
The bill Will go to the senate, where
it Will be roughly jOlted and then be
set aside until next winter. If the
congressional elections in November
result favOrably to the democrats it is
| highly probable that the republican
majority of the senate Will then con-
sent to admit the territories to state
hood and thus assure an addition OF
six senators to the ranks of the minor
| ity.
The passage of the bill by the senate
would eliminate the list of our terrific
rial system except Hawaii Porto Rice
is not recognized as a territory and
| Alaska is a district, like the District OF
Columbia. The Philippines have not
yet been given a regular designation
but they are to be ruled like Porto
/ Rico

If the senate should refuse to pass
the house bill granting statehood to
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona,
it would be a gross injustice to 1000
900 people who reside in those terrific
ries, and would show contemplate
partisanship. The older states are
jealous of the growing power Of the
west and, having been accustomed to
dominate in national affairs, they look
with disfavOr at anything that would
lessen their prestige. But above all
these things is the question Of right.
Besides this, under our form Of govern
ment, territories can only be justly
held in anticipation Of ultimate and
timely statehood.

The proposed relief for the Cuban
planters appears to be further off than
ever. Senator Burton, Of Kansas, is
understood to be preparing for a
speech against the bill. IF the tangle
becomes any more involved the chan
ces are that there will be no legislation
on this question. The best informed
now look for no action. The American
sugar growers are jubilant over the
situation which has been brought
about by the house amendment re

The consumption Of sugar in the
United States has grown from 1872
1852 pounds in 1870 to 5,313, 9S7, $40
pounds in 1891. The per capita con-
sumption is now IS pounds, as com
pared with 80 pounds in 1870. The
consequence of this most remarkable
change upon the physical condition of
the people must be material Whether
it is for improvement or impairment
Of physical strength and endurance is
a question. About one-sixth of the
amount consumed is produced in the
United States and one sixth in our

Notable Earthquakes and Loss of Life.

Notable Earthquakes and Loss Of Life
From Kansas City Star.
Among the notable earthquakes Of
history was that which occurred at
Cairo, Egypt, in 1854 when 10000 PEG
pie persisted. In 742, 500 towns in
western Asia were destroyed with i'm
mense loss of life.
The middle ages abound in records
Of earthquakes with frightful casual
ties. Thus 1900 persons are reported
to have been buried at Catania, Sicily,
in 113T; about 6O,OOO In Cilicia in 1868;
some 10000 at Naples in 1856 600 at
Lisbon in 1881; 10000 in the kingdom
Of Naples in 1926; $1,000 at Shamaki, in
1867; 10000 In Sicily in 1893; 10000 In
Jeddo, Japan, in 173I. All these fig
ures are doubtless much too large. But
they indicate at least a terrible loss of
life.
The most widely known earthquake
Of this period was that which destroy
ed Lisbon, Portugal, in which about
$1,000 persons were reported to have
persisted. This was in 1T55, and as a
result of the disturbance a tidal wave
was perceptible as far as Boston. In
1857, 10000 people persisted in the
kingdom of Naples, and it is estimated
that 111,OOO people we're killed in the
kingdom in 10y lrs by earthquakes.
Peru and Ecu dor have suffered Sc
verely in the las century. At Quito
in 1859, 5000 persons were killed, and
in 1868 in the two states $1,000 lives
were lost. In Japan in 1891 $4,000
houses were destroyed and 1000 per
sons were killed. In 1872, 80 people
were killed in California by an earth
quake, and in 1856, Al persons in the
city of Charleston, South Carolina.
The largest loss Of life by earth
quake was at Canton, China, in 1871
when 100000 persisted. The most no
table catastrophe in the Christian era
because of some dramatic incidents
and the findings Of recent excavation
was an eruption Of Mt. Vesuvius in A
/ D. 70 which buried the cities of Her
culaneum and POmpeii.

Paine's Celery Compound
Is the Fountain Of Health from
Which the Disease Laden
May Draw a Fresh Sup
ply Of Vitality and
Health.
A Cure Of Blood Poisoning
That Has Commanded
the Attention Of
Thousands.

Is your blood impure, or sluggish ?
1t must be if you have eruptions,
boils, pimples, blotches, running
sores, eczema, or salt rheum. With
such troubles and ailments the blood
is fast carrying disease and death to
the body.
To be clean, sound, vigorous,
healthy, and happy, you must use
Paine's Celery Compound before the
advent of the hot summer days. At
this time the vitalizing and health
giving work of Psine's Celery Com
pound shows quickly upon the blood,
which is purified and made rich with
nutriment that builds up the nerves
and tissues.
Remember that "Paine's" is the
kind that cures. At all times refuse
the something just as good offered by
some dealers.
Thousands OF sufferers burdened with
some form of disease, the result of
impure and poisoned, impure or slug
gish blood, will thank heaven that
their attention has been directed to the
great fount of healing after o perusal
Of the following letter written by Mr..
J. Afgetsipser, of a722 18th avenue,
Minneapolis, Mimi.
Last winter I had blood poisoning
caused from cut on my finger. This
formed an abscess under my arm, and
l was in the hospital for three weeks.
At times felt as though I was going
out of my head. When touched the
end of my spine, felt the shock in
my head at once. Ny memory was
poor, and I sometimes forgot my
neighbors' names. Sometimes had
pains in my left side just below my
heart, and q presentiment of evil was
continually with me. Paine's Celery
Compound has given me . new lease
Of life, ami I hope others will try

WHEAT IN OREGON
THE CROP WILL NOT BE so
LARGE AS EXPECTED.

Portland, Ore, April i7.-Reports
received by the local branch of the
Department of Agriculture from the
different agricultural districts in Ore
gon continue to indicate that the con-
dition Of wheat In this section is
not as promising Is expected. The
recent cold and wet handicapped
farm work. and while the wheat Is
generally healthy and we'll rooted,
there seems to DO little upward
growth. This applies mostly to the
lowlands and poorly drained sections,
the crop in the highlands Of the VIII
lamette valley and in the southern
portion Of the state being reported %
generally In splendid condition.
