ged and were later in doing SO. Rhode Island withheld ratification for seven years, and did not enter the Union until 1794. Her people required that time to determine whether they would accept the terms of union presented and ac- cepted by the rest of the states.
 Lo these many years the people of Arizona and New Mexico have importuned the people of the states to give them a chance to frame state governments and ratify the Constitution of the United States, becoming thereby full hedged Ann erican states. Heretofore that im- portunity has been neglected and ignored. Finally the people of the states, in Congress assembled, have taken notice of the importantly and have proposed q compromise. They are not willing to admit two states. with jointly less than half a million population, to have twice the voting strength in the United States senate that has New York with eight millions, Pennsyl- vania with seven millions, or Illinois and Ohio with five millions each. To get the Constitution ratified and the Union created New York, Pennsylvania and other large states were willing to let into the Union upon equal terms in the senate the small states of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Con- necticut, Delaware. Maryland, etc. Those states had to be induced to enter the compact. Without them there could have been no Union, and chaos threatened. But now things are different The Union is an accomplished fact. States have to be caioled to enter the Union no longer. Several states have twice the population the en- tire thirteen had in 17S7. And tbe states that were then small have now populations fully as great as New York and Pennsyl- vania had then, while many of the

states since admitted have more people than had the entire coun- try at time of adoption of the Con. stitution. Yet Arizona and New Mexico united would have but lit- tile more population than what was the average of state when the Constitution was adopted. The people of the states have been thinking of these facts very ser- iously, and they will not consent to admission of these two terri tories separately. There is all there is to 1t. And the longer the matter is postponed the more pro- nounced and more widely extend ed will be the dissent of the states. Arizona and New Mexico should not forget that the populations of all the great states east of the one hundredth meridian of longitude are increasing by leaps and bounds. By the time Arizona and New Mexico have jointly reached population of one million New York City will have sixteen mil- lions and that great city and it's state will be sixteen to one" against granting the two territor- ies separate statehood with four senators against only two for her. self.
 The question has resolved itself to this proposition: Will the peo- pie of Arizona and New Mexico ratify the Constitution of the United States and enter the Union upon terms of compromise offered by the states which framed that instrument? Or will they emulate Rhode Island, refuse 10 ratify any. way; and then finally accept the terms of compromise offered? So far as may be concerned THE OASIS, it favors ratification now. Joint statehood is all that can be secured. While that is not what we want, it will be better than what we have. It would be the part of wisdom to accept what can be had.

THE CONSTITUTION A COMPROMISE.

Students of political history af- firm that the constitution of the United States was compromise between the representatives of the thirteen original states framing that great instrument and series of compromises between the states themselves. All agreed that there was need for closer bond of union than that contained in the original Articles of Confederation framed during the storm and stress of the Revolution. Without some such closer bond there was danger of disintegration and conflict between the states, which could not fail to be taken into advantage by Great Britain to again invade America and compass reconquest. The gen. eral government, which was in reality but little more than Con- gressional committee, had no inde- pendent revenue, and for it's run ming expenses had to depend upon contributions levied by Congress upon the various states, which com tribatiOns were never promptly paid. Individual states levied tar if taxes upon imports from other states, causing friction, inconyen- fence and restraint upon trade. Conflicting claims of the various states in the region west of the Allegheney mountains caused strife and contention, reaching the very verge of open war. The foregoing category presents but small por- tion of the evils under which the American people suffered in the period between the end Of the Rev. olutionary war and the adoption of the constitution. All felt that q new fabric of government should he contrived That feeling led to the calling and assembling of Q constitutional convention at Phila- delphia, in l7S7.
 But when the delegates from the various states met and organized there immediately developed . wide diversity of opinion as to the neces- sary form and scope of the pro posed new charter of government. The small states were apprehensiye of the growing might and power of those larger. The southern states feared the growth of the abolition sentiment, which had already shown itself in the north, and they feared that sentiment might achieve so great a weight that slavery would be terminated, to the great loss and detriment of the people of those states where the

"|ii"t"H' WNff' Nt"f" Ht# t H convention delegates who wished fbe proposed fundamental law G. provide for final extinction of slavery These are bat & few of the diverse views and interests with which the delegates faced one another on the floor of the conven- tion.
 To concede everything asked by any one state would have immedi- ately prevented approval by all the rest. So with profound wisdom and splendid statesmanship the delegates framed a charter which was system of compromises. The small states were pacifed by crea- tion of bi-cameral legislative as- sembly, in one chamber of which all states should have equal repre- sentation, where the original prop- osltion was for single legislative chamber, with representation based upon population. The growing ab- olition sentiment was appeased with limitation placed upon the African slave trade, and the slave states were satisfied by having the regulation of domestic service left to the various states. Many more compromises can be enumerated that were included in the instru- ment. As framed the constitution was not entirely acceptable to any single state. But to make 1t in a measure acceptable to all, the del- egates from each and every state had abandoned some cherished feature they wanted put into the proposed fundamental law, and had accepted many things they did not want.
 When completed the constitu- tion went to the various states for ratification Generally conven- tions were elected by the people of those states to consider the instru- ment and decide whether 1t should be ratified by the states. Ratihca- tion by nine was necessary to se- cure adoption of the instrument and set up the government 1t pro- vided. In many instances there prevailed the utmost hostility to ratification. When the New York convention assembled at Albany to consider the question of ratification or rejection, Alexander Hamilton, who had been delegate to the constitutional convention in Phila- delphia, found himself the leader Of forlorn hope, contending at desperate odds against an over- whelming majority. But he bent himself to the herculean task, ad- dressed the convention several hours daily through several weeks, and by the sheer force of his genius secured majority for ratification. In his argument he admitted the Constitution was not what he wanted, nor was il entirely what was wanted by the people of New
