The Kansas City Journal is of the opin- ion that it would be as well not to think of forcing Cuba into the Union until we open the door to those Western territo- ries that are kocking so anxiously for admission The fact that Oklahoma has a greater population than either of five other States now in the Union, and that Indian Territory has about the same number of inhabitants that Oklahoma has, and that there are two States with Jess inhabitants than either Arizona or New Mexico-all these facts are argu- xnents in favor of the admission of those Territories, unless there are good rea- sons for keeping them out. If such req sons exist, we apprehend that they are largely political. and will continue while the Republicans control Congress. If the electoral votes of all of them could be assured for the Republican party. they would be admitted into the Union.

Will he be put back there to try to do the same thing again? He says he does not want the of fee. What Is he running for then? What office does he want. now?-Marengo Democrat.

 Ex-Governor Joseph F. Johnston. in his campaign against the ratification of the Constitution last year declared that it would disfranchise many thousand white men; and while no white man in sixty six counties of the State is known to have been refused registration, the ex- Governor declares that 10000 white voters have been disfranchised in Jefferson Counsy alone.
