contend that if It be smallpox it is best
for the people to have it in a mild form
in warm weather.

favor Of that prsposterous product OF

Senator Bevendge. in the report
representing the majority Of the com
mittee. opposes the admission Of New
Mexico and Arizona on several prac-
tical and substantial grounds. The
population in these territories is
sparse and Insufficient in numbers;
many of the inhabitants are illiterate
and unfamiliar with American princi-
pies and institutions, while in Npw
Mexico a majority OF the people are
of Spanish descent and have not even
learned % speak the English language.
The population Of New Mexico is just
about equal to the ratio of one repre-
sentative under the present unit Of
esentation--194.1S2 but Arizona
falls considerably short even of that
requirement. The committee rightly
saws that while it might not be rea-
sonable to insist that a new state shall
be as large in population as any ex-
isIing state, ut should be large enough
to bear some fair proportion to the
population Of the reFt of the republic. ~
The idea of giving each of these
territories two senators and as mucn
voice and influence as New York
Illinois or Ohio cnioys is manifestly
absurd. If reaeon governs the senate
in this matter, the omnibus bill can
not pass. Politics, spoil. and selfish
interest are arrayed on its side. and
unfortunately past folly and blunders
afford presidents to appeal to- But a
dozen past errors do not justify n
single present one. The omnibus bill
should be killed.
