with him from the East. One day Chow
asked permission to go to funeral
"All right" said the admiral. Then he
added. Il suppose you viii put a lot of

'Allee same China" Chow replied.

THE NEW STATES
 ADMISSION.

i two additional names. A few narrow newspapers in the east offer their chronic protest, be- cause there is scarcity of pOpu- lation; they hold up the lists of the people that New York and PennSvlvania and IllnO1s con- tain, and mourptully tell us that in the United States senate Ariz- ona will have the same number of representatives as either of of those great states. That Is true, as 1t should be, as the wis dom of the fathers planned 1t | should be, for if it were other. wise those three states would | pretty nearly control the whole republic, and we all can see what | would quickly follow if that were the case. There are other considerations to be counted with. Of course the country west of the Rockies is sparsely settled but when did the country east of the rockies emerge from being a third rate power, and what caused the change? Was 1t the corn and the cotton fields or was 1t when the work of the men of the far west supplied the money which gave vitality to the dull products of the east and gave vitality to the credit of the east and made of the whole re- public, a commanding power among the nations of the earth? The eastern country had been raising cotton and corn from the time ot the birth of the nation up to the discovery of gold in California and it's credit stood on par with Egypt. The trans formation has come since and the change has been almost ex- actly in the same ratio that the increase of gold and silver from
 the mines of the far west has been.
 But there is more than all that to thus business. Ours is SUD-
 posed to>be a government of the
 people by the people and tor the
 people. If that is true by what authority does the government assume the right to say to the f thousands in any particular pol , itical division of the republic
 when they demand statehood,
 when they possess the wealth to carry on a state, when they have given sufficient proof of their loyalty and ability to manage a state, by what authority does congress, ill effect, declare that such people shall be denied participation in the government and in the right to aspire to win the honors which the republic holds out to its children? As to Arizona and New Mexico, they will bring no discredit to the nation. It will not be long un- til Arizona will be a greater agri- cultural state than either of quite half of the original thirteen, a greater mining state than Fc1ther of rhe original thirteen, excepting only Pennsylvania.
 | So far the far west states have done the nations counsel's. I Rather, had their advise been 'F taken, there would have been no 4 afconfusion now i'll the finances ot I the country and our export trade with half the people of the earth would not have been killed. The I brightest men of the east seem incapable of ever outgrowing their provincialism; they turn tbe leaves of the book of know ledge and gain much learning, but seem incapable of ever gain ing any wisdom. The east needs the west for more than the west needs the east.-Goodwin S Mnn1r1,r
