Woman's greatest dream of beauty and
glory is when nature has chosen her to
become a mother. Every faculty is keenly
alert as she foresees the JOY, ambition,
success and the lifelong satisfaction COM
fng nearer, day by day, in the dear and
innocent being so soon to see light, and
the uncertainty whether she shall see a
sweet girl or a brave boy face beside her
on the pillow adds zest to her expectancy.

Londoa. May 28.-According to ad
vices from Rome Queen Margherita
Of Italy, has decided definitely to be-
come a nun. Rumors Of such a step
on the part OF the widowed 4ieea
have been more or less prevalent
since King Humbert's assassination,
and it is regarded as probable that
the present announcement is correct,
Queen Margherita is 81 years of age,
and is noted for her learning and her
piety.

A PROPOSED OUTRAGE.

The Republican party leaders
openly announce that they expect
to annex the Indian Territory to
Oklahoma by piscemeal some years
in the distant future, after OKLA
homa has had statehood. Mean
while they say that the Indian ter
ritory should wait their pleasure.
1t seems rather strange that un-
der these well known conditions
any public man or newspaper in
the Indian Territory should favor
anything but immediate single
statehood. BY advocating any
thing else they announce their
acquelscence in the plans of the re-
publican managers to annex them
to Oklahoma years hence, and un-
der which plan they can receive
none of the primary benefits OF
statehood. That any of she Indian
Territory people should fail to see
the result of their continued separ.
alton is remarkable to say the
least.
But there IS no doubt that since
the position OF the republicans has
been made clear by the arguments
on the statehood bill now pending
in congress, many OF tie Indian
Territory people are opening their
eyes TO the condition in which the
Republicans intend to place them
they can by little investigation see
that they are to be entirely dis
francbised in the matter of select
ing stats ilstitutions and will have
no voice in making the constitu-
tion under which it is proposed to
place them when, as the Repnbl.-
cans brazenly assert. "they are fit
for statehood It would indeed
be strange If the people of that ter.
ritory should d-lib-ra riy c,nniyv
at their own unIoiag
There is oniy one equnabIe ana
fair way to give single statehood
to the territories, and that is by
bringing them 10 together, so thst
all the people who are tocOnst tute
the state will have equalopportnn
tiles in its formation. The Repub-
iican plan is vicious, unfair. and
an outrage upon half million
people.
