withstood the shock. lie is now well on

charged from the hospital in few days.
Andrews is 10 years old and an Ice
lander by birth. He ran away In his youth
TO follow the sea. and has been a sailor
and inveterate pipe smoker ever since.
About II months ago he began to suffer
considerably with his tongue. He applied
for treatment at Philadelphia hospital
and a portion OF his tongue was amputa-
ted. lie went away To sea again appar-
emily well, but the trouble finally re-
turned.
lie arrived here about hve weeks ago
on an oil steamer and Immediately ap-
piled az the city hospital for treatment.
The house physician soon realized the
seriousness OF the mans condition. and
told him that his whole tongue would
have TO be taken out and that he would
probably be unable 10 speak any more,
even n the operation was successful, but
that IL was n most serious undertaking.
Andrews plucklly asked II he could live
in that condition, and was told that he
might not.

UNFIT FOR STATEHOOD.

OF all the measures before the
late congress which failed of en-
actment the omnibus statehood
bill is least to be regretted.
While it seems hard that some OF
the territories, as Oklahoma, for
instance, should be denied state
hood, yetit is most fortunate that
others were denied it. The un-
vanished truth is that New
Mexico does not have a popu1a-
ton qualified for the duties of
statehood, nor upon which it
would be either social or political
wisdom to confer the highest
privilege of American citizen
ship.
Which party would gain par
tisan strength by the accession of
two u. S. senators if New Mex
leo were admitted is of no mo-
ment whatever. Whichever
party might have control of the
state the fact would yet remain
that the mass OF the people is not
fitted for the duties and response
bilities of that relation.
We acquired this territory and
people, or their near progenitors,
as result of our war with Mex
leo. The people for the greater
part are Mexicans. They have
not even made such progress as
their racial fellows south of the
Rio Grande have made. They
are as distinctly foreign people,
