Atlanta Evening Journal. It K?enis prohttblo that three i states will heceated at the present lentiion of congress in apite of it brief duration and the presa of other mattera for consideration. Both the Democratic ami He ; publican parting in their platform* this year pledged themselres to the admission of Arizona, New | Mexico and Oklahoma Both par ties seemed to want this done as soon as possible, tie Republicans asking for it at an "early date'' and'tho Democrats "immediately." Bille have been introduced proriding that the three territories named shall bo clothed with statehood Senator Fairbanks is the author of the bill t ? admit Okla homa and Indian Territory as oee ntato, whereas Oklahoma is safely I Republican. Party considerations have usually controlled in the admission of states and will have their effect Upon the pressnt congress. The state proponed hy Senator Fairbanks would hare a popula tion of nearly 809,000, Oklahoma haying grown from 61,384 in 189o to 398,245 in 1 0<?0, ami tlie Indian Territory from 185,182 to 301,960. The general idea that the popu 1 at i on of the Indian Territory is composed mainly of Indiana is a ereat mistake. A* a matter of fact, of the 391,96<> people in that territory only 56,033 are Indiana, or only one seventh. There, are only 5,927 Indiana among Oklahoma's 398,425 people. Put t i ii tr these territories together would gi*e the proposed new state a population greater than that of eighteen of the present atates. Neither Arizona nor New Mexico has anything like ho strong a claim to statehood a-. Oklahoma comnineu with the Indian Terri torv, or even alone. While Arizona'* population has, increased about 1"0 percent in 10 years, it is vet luit 122,212 New Mexico's increase liar been only! 26 per cent, its population at present being 11*3.777. Still, both Arizona and New Mexico, not onlv have more population but more substantial qualifications for statehood than cither Wyoming or Nevada. It is likely that j we shall soon have forty-eight' states instead of lorty live. Dispensary Hurts Business.

Governor McSweeney finds that , ha can do nothing, under the law, ^ to permit the sale whan it is re- ; ported to him that the tonics are 1 alcoholic beverages. The only hope, it seems, is to get Legislative relief. ? Ask in New* & Courier. One Hundred Drowned, Forty Others Miaaing.
