Statehood of the Territories.

The genial William H. Andrews mas
already established himself in New
Mexico. as shown by his election as
the delegate to Congress from that
territory. His experience in Pennsyi-
vania politics has been useful to him.
But he will hardly succeed in defeat
ing the bills favorably acted upon by
the House at the last session pro
yiding for the admission of New Mex
leo and Arizona as one State, and
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
as another. Mr.. Andrews aims to be
Senator from New Mexico, and is bit.
terly opposed to uniting that territory
with Arizona, which has gone, as Us
ual, Democratic. New Mexico has
been a Democratic territory, but the
plea to elect a Republican in order
Co help get it admitted as a State was
naturally powerful. Still, that viii
hardly influence Congress to create
any more rotten borough States.
Oklahoma has recorded itself in "a
vor Of union with the Indian Terri
tory. That was made a distinct issue
in the canvass, the Democrats oppos-
ing the plan while the Republicans
approved the bill to that effect which
passed the House at the last session.
The Republicans won the election and
the Senate will pass the House bill.
That will settle the territorial ques-
ton, as there will be none left in the
United States. 1t will be the best set
tlennent possible now. The condition;
of Nevada, Wyoming and some of tho
other comparatively new States shows
the injustice of admitting sparseIy
settled territories to statehood, in the
expectation that they will rapidly in
crease in population.-Phi
