A Long Drawn Debate And q Policy OF
Obstruction.
OPPOSITION IS FOR FOUR STATES.
Greatest Objection Is Tho Clause Making
Acknowledgement impossible on The
Ground of Educational or Property
Qualifications.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-Sincc the re-
cent conference of the republican
leaders in the senate in reference to
statehood, the statehood people gener-
ally have been informed that the pro-
gram is two states or nothing. Senator
Beveridge, chairman of the committee
on territories, admitted in an interview
that this is the exact status of the mat
ter.
AS was expected, the democrats are
showing signs of Offering opposition.
They want each of the territories ad-
mittcd separately as states, or four in
stead of two. While there is no definite
policy agreed on, the general feeling
among the opposition is that If the
statehood question can he deferred for
few years in congress, the Indian
Territory and Arizona will be in a po-
sition to demand statehood separately
byvirtue of their increased population.
They admit that, if all the territories
were duiDlJtcu do wv St"tSS' my
would be democratic. This is alluring
to some of the democrats in the senate,
with the notable exception of Bailey,
of Texas, whose constituents are large
" int rested in the cattle ranges of the
Indian Territory, and who is, for that
reason, averse to statehood. But in
general way the democrats are drifting
toward policy of seeking to postpon'
the admission of the territories until
conditions will force congress to admit
four instead of two states.
One argument that will be strongly
urged is that the Indian treaties in the
Indian Territory will not expire till
1906. when the IndiGns will be invested
with the full rights of citizer"Nip and
will be in a position to eXerc-~e their
rights of voters.
A big fight in the senate is fore
Swallowed on the proposition in the
Quay bill that the constitution of thc
new state shall establish no property
or educational test. The Southern
senator's, it is said, will fight this
clause to the last ditch. 1t is pointed
out that Indian Territory has large
negro population and on the other
hand a large population of whites,
from Arkansas and other Southern
states, who will follow in the footsteps
of Louisiana and Mississippi and the
Southern states generally to disfran-
chise the colored population so as to
make the the new state securely demo-
cratic. The Quay bill, in seeking to
prevent this, contains distinct pro-
vision that the constitution OF the state
shall embrace a clause making disfran-
chisement impossible on the ground of
educational or property qualifications,
and this will probably lead to long
drawn debate and in all probability
nolicv of stubborn obstruction,

A Record Breaking Congress For Econ.

believes There Will BE n Service PEN

Interesting Story of the Mall Service
Revenues

Topeka, Feb. 1.-Congressman Vic
tor Murdoch, the president of the
Kansas Day club, attended the meeting
at Topeka last week. In discussing
the work of congress and the affairs of
the government he said:
"The present congress will be a
record breaker for economy. The in
SEPARATION for this is given to congress
by the speaker of the house, Joseph G.
Cannon. The executive, judicial and
legislative appropriation bill, which
carried $29, 200, 900 for the official ma
chinery of the government in Wash
ington passed the house without the
increase of single dollar. This is
said to be the first time such thing
had occurred 1t is said that there will
be no river and harbor bill and no
public building bill-two big revenue
eaters.
"While the general trend of senti-
ment is responsible for retrenchment,
part of the economy is due to thorough
legislative work a thoroughness which
appears TO me to be something of an
evolution. This thoroughness is evil
denced by the growing demand on the
part of committees dealing with appro-
priations for greater and greater segre-
cations of departmental estimates. In
former years the departments put in
their estimates in lump sums; now the
committees are calling for items. In
this segregation a good many things
are coming to light which before was
buried, and it is found that there were
many private carriage allowances. AS
n result of this spell of contraction
there will be very few increases of sal
aries OF public servants
'The one exception that l have in
mind will be the rural free mail deliv-
cries Their salaries win he increased.
i believe also that the present session
of the house will pass a service pension
bill" Mr.. Murdoch continued:
Everybody on the republican side
with whom have talked favors one.
The present pension appropriation car
rries S138, O00, 900. 1t is thought that a
service pension bill will increase this
by $50, 900, 900. The postoffice appro-
priation carries Sl3S, 900, 900. The de-
ficiency for the last year in this depart
ment is 81, 100000 There has been
deficiency in it every year since 1851
and the total deficiency since that year
reaches the enormous sum of s255, 600
The annual deficiency is not liable in
any opinion to disappear or increase in
future years.
"The growth of the service in its ex-
tension is responsible to public demand
which can not in the nature of things,
diminish. In 1892 Jonn Wanamaker,
then postmaster general declared with
astonishment that the revenues of the
postofflce business reached S60,000,000 |
per annum, an increase of GOO per cent !
since the period of the civil war. Those
revenues are now Sl3s,O00,000 per an
mum. The total business of the de-
partmeut the last year, for the first
time-in money order transactions and
everything clse-went over the billion
mark, making this department of our
government the biggest business in the
history OF the world"
