FOUR MORE SENATORS.

The United States senate has labored for
weeks and has delivered itself of the two great
states of Oklahoma and New Mexico 1t will
perhaps be in order now for the railroads to
attend to the "private business" of selecting
four senator's to express the soveri gnty of these
vast centers of sagebrash and civilization.
The original plan to admit four states, bu
the congress discovered soon that there was no
sentiment in the country supporting such a
wholesale manufacture of senators and com
promised upon two, Oklahoma and Indian
Territory to make one and New Mexico and
Arizona the other. At the last moment this
agreement seems to have been broken and
Arizona is left entirely out. This will of course
mean that the next congress will try to bring
Arizona in as separate state, making three
instead of two.
There are symptoms of deal in this final
arrangement, for if there any exception to
be made in favor of separate admission it would
have on the merits of the case, been made in
favor of Oklahoma has nearly twice the popula-
ton of New Mexico and it is an American popu-
lation. Together Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory have million people, while Arizona aud
New Mexico together muster scarcely more
than half million.
