Retrospective.

Historians have said that the war
with Mexico was an unjust war. 1t
may be that there were features of in
Justice in this conflict, and there is still
much bitterness of feeling among Mexi-
cans toward the United States as a Ma
ton. So much SO Is this true that
many in that Republic fear that with
the present tendency to expand, this
country will soon turn its attention to-
wards the Southern Cross and seek to
conquer Mexico and annex her to our
own dominions.
However, as I stood in the Alamo, in
San Antonio, and recalled the brutal
and savage massacre Of that brave from

ploy. From this class OF men was or
ganized the now famous companies Of
ruraies. Cruel they were, but brave
also. They hunted down their former
Confederates until live bandit was a
rare specimen. Travelling once more
became safe, and now there are few
places in Mexico where 1t is not per-
fectly safe for a traveller to journey.
The only unsafe region is the country
occupied by the Yaqui Indians, and they
inhabit dreary waste region where few
people go, as the only inducement there

THE STATEHOOD BILLS
A Sentimental Interest At
taches to Them.
THE LAST TERRITORIES
Of the Union Proper Left to Apply
for Admission.
THE INSTRUCTIONS INTERPOSED
This Has Been the Rule With All the
States Since the Thirteen
Colonies.
THE INSTRUCTIONS INTERPosED

Aside from the feature of punching the
four territories into two states the pending
statehood bills in Congress evoke It senti-
mental interest, because Arizona and New
Mexico, Indian Territory and Oklahoma are
the last remaining territorial organiza-
tons of the Union proper TO apply for
admission. This then, will be the last
fight" socalIed, unless the bills fail,
With few exceptions. there have always
been distractions lnterposed to the admis-
sion of the various states, from Vermont
to Utah, covering a period Of 100 years.
The crisis of this last statehood fight,
now at hand, increases popular interest
in the outcome of the opposition, particu-
larry to the Arizona-New Mexico measure,
around which centers the heat of the con-
test
The impedfnents interposed from one
cause or another to the admission of these
last territories are really inconsequential by
comparison with the distractions met with
and eventually overcome by many OF the
older states in their efforts to come in.
Thirty-Two States Admitted.
Thirty-two states have been admitted
since the formation of the original thirteen
colonies into the American Union. Here
