TURKISH BATHS IN TURKEY.

Perhaps They Are Genuine, but They

"About the first real craving that
strikes the unsophisticated American
or Englishman upon his arrival in Da-
mascus Is the desire for a Turkish
bath rigth on the spot where the ia
nous bath was originated" said
traveller. His next decision Is that
New York or a London Turkish bath
is about as far ahead of the Damas-
Gus article as mothers pies beat the
bakers. In view Of the eastern origin
of these baths 1 naturally expected to
find something of a luxury.
Entering one Of the finest baths
in the city, l was at first sight much
pleased with the general appearance
of things. Dog of a Christian that

the center Of which gushed a splen-
did fountain, while the scene all about
was at first impression one of an ORR
entail fairyIand. All around the foun-
tain on raised platforms were combina-
ton chair-couches upon which orien-
tails were louing as oaly orientals can.
Some were reclining some mapping,
some slipping coffee, some smoking the
narghileh, some chatting, and some

dience; also, before the audience in
the street wherever the door was open
ed. My clothes l had to store in a
drawer under my couch. The pub
licity of the disrobing act was modi-
fed somewhat, however, by the at
PENDANTS, who, by the use Of towels,
formed a temporary screen. After this

UNION OF TWO TERRITORIES.

The opposition of democrats to the
proposed union of Arizona and New
Mexico may have some connection
with politics, says the Denver Repub-
lican. Arizona is nearly equally d.
vided between the two parties. with a
slight advantage in favor of the demo
Gratis. New Mexico, on the other hand.
Is strongly republican. United, the re-
publican majority in New Mexico
would overcome the small democratic
majority in Arizona, inc the state
would send republican senators and
representatives to Washington.
This holds out no brilliant or entic-
ing prospect for the democrats, and it
is not strange that some of them are
disposed to let the territories remain
out of the union rather than bring
them in as n state. They hope that
If admission is delayed, they will come
in separately o n or later.
While the far west would gain by
securing four senator's instead of two,
the proposed state itself would gain
by union, because it would be stronger
and possess greater and more extern
sive resources.
People are 100 prone to overlook the
fact that primarily the advantage Of
statehood is local. 1t does not consist
in representation in Washington. If
representation in both branches of con-
gress were the chief consideration, the
objections of eastern people to the ad-
mission of new states in the far west
would have more weight. But the
question of representation is of small
Importance in comparison with the
right and the power of the people to
govern themselves and become an in
dependent community.
Viewed from the standpoint of local
considerations, whatever will make a
state strong is an advantage. Texas
Is better as a single state than 1t would
be broken up into five commonwealth.
1t is stronger. more %resourceful, more
capable of maintaining a large popu-
lation and carrying on a state govern
ment. BY the same token Arizona and
New Mexico united woulL be better
qualified for statehood than either
would be If admitted as a separate
commonwealth. Some important ele-
ments of difference between them exist
at present, but these would be over
come in a few years, and the two
would grow together as one.
