Daily Democrat FOUtt NEW 8TATES. Congress has passed by large majorities in both branches, an omnibus enabling act or the admission of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Washington Teni tories as states. The President lias approv ed the measure, and the four new states will be formally admitted into the Union by proclamation in October. Then Sena tors and Representatives will be chosen in time to take their seats at the opening of the regular session In December. Each of the new stales will have one Representa tive excepting South Dakota, which will have two. Thus eight new Senators and five Representatives will appear in the next Congress. There is no doubt what ever of the people complying with all the requirements of the enabling act and adopt ing their respective constitution by a vote of the people on the first Tuesday of Octo ter. me political complexion ot the new states will at once attract general attention and the latest expression on the fullest votes ever cast was in November last, when these territories voted as follows for Con gressional delegates : Rep. Dem. Maj. Montana 22,486 17,360 5,126 North Dakota 25,290 1 3, Sol 11,489 South Dakota 39,326 24,79 14,667 Washington 20,291 ic-,920 7,371 The two Dakota have always been strongly republican, and their largest ma jorities were given last November, when South Dakota gave 14,667 and North Da kota 11,489. It is safe to assume that four new republican Senators and three new republican representatives will come from the Dakotas in December next- Washing ton has been very variable in her political tides. In 1S78, 'So and '82 the republicans carried the territory by from 1,300 to 3,000. In 1884 and '86 the democrats carried it by 184 and 3,192 and in 18S8 the republicans swept it by 7,371. With the prestige of republican success in the nation and the prestige of the large majority of lair No vember, there Is little room for doubt that . the republicans will carry the new state and secure two republican Senators and one republican Representative to the next Congress. Montana was also swept by a republican land-slide last November, scoring up the large majority of 5,126. The republicans had neyer carried the territory but once before, when Claggett, the silver-tongued orator of the Rockies, was elected delegate a dozen or so years ago. In iSS4,owing to democratic dissensions, the majority was only 199 ; but in 1S86 it came up to about its regular standard when it was 3,7i8.Last November the far Northwest stampeded to the republicans,partly by large immigra tion from the Western republican states and partly by the desire to tax the people of the whole country for the wool they grow largely on government lands. With the political tide obviously in favor of the republicans, and the great republican suc cess of the last election in the territory to inspire them, the probabilities are largely in favor of republican success in the new state. In that event, the younger Harrison, who has been residing there for some years and who has started an organ of his own in the territorial capital since the election of his father to the Presidency.would seem to have a more than even chance to be one of the new Senators, The politicians who look only to the present assume that the addition of four new republican states with eight Senators and five representatives, will anchor repub lican supremacy in both the Senate a:i J the nation. Those who so calculate reckon with little knowledge of the swift muta tions of our politics and the heroic inde pendence of the Western people. It is not a strained possibility that these recently created republican states may aid in defeat ing the party that Is certain to organize them, as early as 1892 and some of them will be debatable as early as 1890. There is no overshadowing issue to bind New England and the Northwest in bonds of political unity, and we have reached the point in our national history when the par ty of power is at a disadvantage in a na tional struggle. No matter how they shall fulfill or disappoint political expectations, the admission of these territories as states has become a necessity, and the democrats acted wisely In bowing to the Inevitable. The Oregoman says the state owed Mc pherson the $1000 which the legislature lately voted to his divorced wife. This is untrue in every sense of the word.Twenty years ago McPherson held some state war rants which he had received as his pay for work done as state printer. These he sold at a discount, because there was no appro priations made to pay them. The state did not owe him a cent. It is too early yet to say exactly how much Influente Mr. Harrison will have with the coming Blaine administration Mr. Blaine1 Is well known to be a very posi tive and resolute man, however. Still, Mr. Harrison may have quite a "pull" with him. 5 SPECIALTIES. A MOCK DOWN ARGUMENT. That is the kind of argument wo are us Insr.

Inquire THE PLACE. There is a sharp point in the suggestion by the Springfield Republican that at the very time President-elect Harrison was passing through Pennsylvania on his way to Washington, the people of this country were reading the news of a cut-down in iron-furnace employes. In the famine districts of China the people live on a mixture of grain,' chaff and wheat sprouts, and in some places upon the fresh blades of wheat of the autumn planting. More than a million people are reduced to the last ttateof destitution. Ceneral Harrison has received a novel pres ent from E. A. Angicr of Peach Tree Creek, Georgia.
