PROPOSED NEW STATES.

1t seems difficult for Congress to
make up its mind with respect to the
admission of the territories as states
Both of the great parties are COM
mitted to the policy of admitting
them, but there is apparently a hitch
over the details. There is a good deal
of politics in the matter, of course.
Neither party wishes the other to Sc
cure any political advantage by rea-
son of the additional congressman
that would be given seats and votes
upon the admission of the territories;
hence there is a good deal of jockey
ing for position.
The territories proposed to be admit
ted are Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma. The House has passed the
bill providing for their adj
mission. Whether they should be
admitted as three or two states
is a matter of contention. 1t
was proposed in the House of Repre-
sentatives recently that Arizona and
New Mexico should be consolidated
and admitted under the name of Mon
tezuma. That would make a state of
approximately 100000 square miles in
area and having a populatio of about
10000. 1t is pointed out that both
of these territories are semi-arid, and
that 1t would take long time for them
to become thickly popuated therefore
it would be an injustice to the states
admitted within the last fifty years to
admit them separately and give them
two senators apiece. Another PROPOSE
ton is that oklahoma and the Indian
Territory be consolidated, under the
name of the former, and admitted as
one state. This would make a state
| of some 10000 square miles in area and
having a population of nearly $780, 900.
Oklahoma, however, objects to this
| arrangement, pointing out that while
she has only about one-third the area
of Arizona and New Mexico, she has
about three times the population of
those territories. with a fair prospect
of becoming speedily more populous.
She wishes. therefore, to come in as
she is. with two senators. AS a mat
ter Of fact, that is the contention OF
each of the territories-that 1t be ad
mitted as a state with full rights.
The effect of the admission of the
territories, under either of the plans,
would not be felt to any extent in the
House of Representatives: but il would
be different in the Senate. In the SEN
ate no matter how small the state or
how sparsely settled it may be, it is
entitled to two senators. Nevada, with
population about as large as that of
city ward, has as many senators as
New York or Pennsylvania. If the ter
ritories were admitted as three states
it would raise the membership of the
Senate from ninety to ninety-six.
With the limited number of senators,
this is a matter of considerable mo-
ment.
For practically half a century New
Mexico has been trying TO get into the
Union. The efforts OF the others are
OF later date. Oklahoma is the most
populous OF the territories. II has but
little more than one-half the area OF
Georgia and about one-third the pop
ulation. New Mexico. more than
twice as big as Georgia. has less than
100000 population

The Washington Post Qnd.) makes
this observation: "Gaynor and Greene
are compelled to do considerable
shifting about in order to keep the
government from thrusting two more
innocent men into prison"
The Charleston Post Dem) saws:
Cuba enters into the company of ma
tons but she is yet only child and
she knows it. She will need yet the
friendly advice and assistance of this
country and will seek it often. This
does not mean that there will be any
interference with the Havana govern
ment from Washington, but only le-
Ultimate and acceptable counsel and
aid when sought"
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: IF
the Cubans maintain order, compel re-
spect for the law, shun revolution as
they would the plague and devote their
energies to the development of the ISL
and's resources, they will remain
free and Independent nation as long
as they desire a separate existence. If
they wish to avoid annexation, they
should be careful not to give their en-
emies the slightest pretext for reviv-
ing the agitation"
The Philadelphia Ledger (Dem)
says: The altruism that keeps a large
proportion Of the people of the United
states in agitated consideration of the
welfare of our enfranchised colored
citizens our Indian wards and our
Filipino attaches" does not spread
dts benevolent mantle over the people

Lemonade Time.

Through the corridors Of the SEN
ate end of the Capitol the spring odor
of lemons is waited by every breeze,
says the Washington Post This is lem
onade time.
The approach of summer is told in
the Senate by the appearance of lem
onade. 1t is as certain as the sound
of locusts on a hot day or the chirp of
the crickets on July night. When the
thermometer begins to ascend, the
Senate officials fill room down in the
basement with cases of mineral water
and boxes of lemons, these being flank
ed with new buckets and bags of SUI
gar. Lemon squeezers are bought by
the dozen, and then the old colored
men who manipulate the various Access
series are ready for business. The smell
of lemons is everywhere. Messengers
carrying buckets of lemonade to the
cloak rooms and to the committee
rooms are met at all hours of the day,
and the rural visitors get the impress
sion that the government is holding a
mammoth picnic,

THE FIGHT FOR ARBITRATION.

/ 1t is gradually beginning to be IN
/ derstood that Senator Hanna made the
fight Of his life to settle the trouble
between the anthracite coal mine
workers and the coal operators. As
| chairman of the Civic Federation he
| felt that if he should succeed he would
win a great personal triumph. But he
undertook the impossible. The coal
operators had made up their minds
that they would not grant the de-
mands of the mine workers-that they
would try to crush the mine workers
organization-ard the mine workers
felt that if the backed down from the
position they had taken their organi-
cation would go to pieces. Therefore
when the Senator appealed to the coal
operators they told him, with but lit
tie show Of courtesy, that they were
tired of being made the football of
Politics, and that neither Wall street
ror the White House would be permit
ted to interfere in their business in
future. The reference to the White
House meant that the Senator, with the
help of President Mckinley, had
brought the last strike in the an
tbracte coal fields to an end. The
coal opera ors did not want at that
time to grant the ten per cent. in
crease demand by the miners, but con-
Guided that it would be advisable to
do so for political reasons. The Sen
ator, in the present strike, did not
have the support of the White House.
1t is said ,hat he did not seek it, but
he had Wall street influence in album
dance.
The indications are that the strike
will be a long one. There are no
signs of yielding on the part of either
party. AS far as can be gathered
it seems 10 be the understanding that
if the coal operators win the battle
the organization of the miners will
be so weakened that it will be a long
time before another strike is attempt
are successful they will be so
strengthened that they will at once
begin to prepare to make other de-
mands which they have been holding
back, but which they mean to insist
upon when they think they have a
chance for success.
1t is understood that Senator Hanna
feels that his position as chairman of
the Civic Federation is not use
less one by any means. He points out
that only a few days ago he settled
a trouble between employers and en-
ployes in the paper mills. 1t it had
developed into strike it is probable
that the newspapers would have been
without a supply of paper within a
couple of weeks after the strike had
been inaugurated
Another claim made for him is that
one of the purposes he has in view
Is the eradication of the evils of soci-
alism, which, according to the views
held by some thinkers, is likely to
flame forth unexpectedly and endanger
the stability of property. So it would
seem that although Senator Hanna
failed in settling the labor trouble in
the anthracite coal region, he has
met with some measure of success
as the head of the Civic Federation,
and expects to meet with a great deal
more.

The Band Kept Coming.

Says George Tuohey, according to the
Baltimore Sun: "The big cities are
not the only places where a man gets
bunkoed. One night 1 gave a boxing
show down East, and hired a band to
parade around the town to advertise
the contest. 1 told the leader that he
and his men would be allowed to wit
ness the fights.
THE doors had no more than opened
when in marched the band, fine bunch
of rubes, and took seats near a window.
Before long another mob of musicians
came in with instruments under their
arms.
Hold on there" said to the first
fellow, grabbing him by the arm. You
don't belong to the band that adver-
tised the show, do your
Yes, Stree said Mr.. Farmer. Then
third mob of hornblowers came.
Git out I said, there are over
500 musicians in the hall now
Can't help that said the hayseed.
They all belong to the band
When another band came 1 found
that the first gang had passed it's in
struments out through the windows,
and the whole population of the town
would have walked in as musicians had
l not discovered the bunko."

Bishop Paret, of Baltimore, tells an
anecdote having to do with his visit to
an Episcopal family in West Virginia,
says the Philadelphia Times. They
were plain, quiet, unpretending, home
like folk, and did everything possible
to make the Bishops visit pleasant.
Learning that he liked hard boiled eggs
for breakfast. the hostess, herself,
went into the kitchen to prepare them.
The bishop, sitting in the dining room
adjoining, heard her begin to sing in a
low but clear, musical, and feeling tone
the first verse of Rock of Ages. 4"
There was so much of the spirit of the
old hymn in her expression that he
Joined in at the fourth line, and accom-
panied her until she stopped, which
was at the end of the second verse.
When she entered the dining room with
the eggs, he asked:
why did you not sing the third
verse;"
THE third?" she replied. 90! that's
not necessary, you know, bishop
mot necessary? 1 do not under
stand" he said.
"Why, don't you know the rule of
one verse for soft-boiled eggs, and two
for hard boiled? 1t just brings them
right"

An elderly negro was shutting
through one of the local market houses
the other morning. basket on arm, and
glancing from side to side at the dis
plays of meats, vegetables, fruits, ETC.,
says the New York Times. A stall fill
ed with fish caught his fancy, and he
stopped before it. He seemed uncer-
tain as to the quality of the offering,
however, and, after carefully noting
that the proprietor was busy with GUS
toners, stopped to smell the fish. The
proprietor turned and caught him.
You black scoundrel!" he exclaimed,
grabbing the old negro by the collar.
What do you mean by smelling and
poking your nose into my goods?"

old fellow went on, 'if they had any

The other customers were interested;
and the dealer. feeling somewhat fool
ish for his outburst of anger, thought
he would humor the old chap, and let
the incident pass off pleasantly.

asked, laughingly. and winking to the

In the coming primary the people of
Georgia will illustrate how United
States senator may be selected by di-
rect vote without the necessity OF
amending the constitution. In this in
stance they will do themselves the
honor of returning by unanimous vote
the Hon. Alexander Stephens Clay,
who has so ably served them during
the past five years. So popular is he
that there has been no thought of
contest for his seat, and while the pri-
mary vote will be in a sense compli-
mentary, it will be as effective as if it
were cast in a regular election in which
the position was contested. Prac-
tically from the beginning of his term
Senator Clay took high rank among
his confreres. and now he holds men,
bership on some of the most important
committees of the body, including those
of Commerce and Coast Defense. 1t
will be recalled that it was he who led
the fight against the ship subsidy bill,
and presented his facts so convincingly
that it was apparent that the bill was
practically dead from the day he de-
livered his speech against it. No men,
tion of the bill is seen nowadays; not
even its sponsors, Senators Hanna and
Frye, are having anything to say in
its favor on the floor. and nobody ex-
poets it to become law, at least during
this session.

A few years ago the country was
shocked when it learned that Congress,
with the Republican party in power.
had appropriated $1,000. 900, 900 for va
rious purposes during one term. The
Billion Dollar Congress became a re-
preach and by-word. 1t begins to
look now, however as if the present
Congress would discount that record
by appropriating $1,000 600 900 during a
single session. And yet nobody is bold
enough to predict that the high-water
mark of Republican extravaganza has
been reached.
