woids. If 1,000 of their 40,000 majoilty

bills for the admission ol New i
Mt'ilio. Arizona and Oklahoma
into the Vnlon as states, but thf gen-
eiul understanding among the Itepubll-
cans appears to be that the bills are
not to lie pas-,rd at this bc-ssiou ot con-
giess.Tlils will be no smnll disappoint-
meiit to the politicians In thc-e teirl-
tones, who hnve been agitating lor a
nunibir ot ears for their election Into

new state Includes Indian teirltori with
Ihe pi oi Iso that neither judicial not leg

the I'lve Nutlons until these Indians shall
aceipt the constitution of Oklahoma un
der such ordinances as congicss may
pi escribe It Is also piovidrd 111 the
Oklahoma bill that the so-called "Che
rokte Strip shall be Included In the

o
The mpld urowth of Oklahoma ln a
in ent period gives that tenltoii claims
for admission Into the I'nlon which are
not shired by New Jlevlco and Ailssonu
with their spiuse and unstable popula
tions. But, ln view of tho experience
In making new states, there Is no huriy
even for the admission of Oklahoma, the
territorial condition of which Is no ob
stacle to Us growth and prosperity. The
admission of states like Idaho Wyoming
and Montana, the respective populations
of which utc not greater than tho popu
lation of one of the laigcr Winds of
Philadelphia, has contiibutcd not a little
to subject the mtijotlt to the mlnorltl
In the I'nlted States senate, and thus
to deeply wound the sphlt of dtmocratle
Institutions, lint for u sliort-slRhted
paitv policy the admission Into the Union
of those states would not huve hi en se

liatlon the six ten Hollos of North and
Bouth Dakota. Montana Washington,
Idaho and Wjomlng wcro admitted Into
tho I'nlon as states for the sole purpose
of ovei tin owing the balance of political
power. Dakota was divided Into two
states In order to give the Republicans
two more senatois anil rour more presi
dential electois Hut In W2 North Da
kota went Democratic, so that tho Re
publicans did not sain much by that
operation. In lS'ji! North Dakota voted
for Mr. McKlnley and South Dakota lor
Mr. Roan Of the six mw slates the
Republicans lost tho four last named In
ISM. Out of the twelve United States
senators from these six states not mote
than six can be classified as tegular Re
publicans, and It Is probable that not
ono of tho twelve can he mustered in
favor of tho currency policy of McKlu
ley's ndmlnlstrnttou, Hut for these new
states the financial measures proposed
by Secretary Oage would not meet with
serious obstruction In the present con
gress. o
With these twelve United States sena
tors those six states havo altogether a
population not much If nny greater than
that of Pennsylvania, with Its two mem-bt-rs
of tho senate It would, thcreloie,
bo u eiylng political Iniquity to Increaro
this Inequality bv bringing two or three
more sparsely scltltd territories Into tho

equity have no weight In cases of this

CONCERNING "J'INERS."
New York Commercial Advcrllset.
Hvcry town has Its group of men
known as "J'lners." They nro tho uml
nblo fellows vvth a crazo for Joining ev
ery society that Is formed. They nil be
long to every secrot, fraternal and bene
volent society In town. Hach "Jincr"
has a lodge meeting nearly evory night.
The lodco Is. outside of his family, tho
great thing about life. Politics, religion,
society, llteratuie, sport, all nre socond
niy things to tho lodge In tho "J'lners'
mind, and It Is a good thing Hint most of
of tho lodges lequlie their members to
sit up nights with sick (iiethtcn and
contribute to the funeral expenses of
the dead, because It ip onlv In this way
that the contlinied ".liner's" duties as a
citizen and member ot society catch up
with him.
o
The "Jinn" Is oidhiurlli a feature of
tho rmaller communities, und nourishes
most In tho humble walks of lire. Hut
ho Is screadlng, and the cni7c for "J In
lug" is now rampant among tho wealthy
and so-stilcd upper classes Tho erase
Iris taken them In a different form. Tho
lodge of the Amalgamated Order of tho
Grand Panjandrum nnd its compeers
have the avowed object ot promoting
tho mutual benefit of Its members. Hut
the new brood of "j'lners" arc too lino
for lodges llko these Their lodges must
be aristocratic. So they base them on
their ancestors. Societies of descendants
of participants In tho revolution nnd co
lonial wars, til of them started with tho
itMpectablo purposo of keeping up patri
otic memories and dlfluslng acquaint
ance with American hlstoiy, have been
made ridiculous by pretension nnd dis
play on tho pint of those who have trans,
foimed them Into mutual admiration so
cletles. Grandfathers who vvcie home
spun and whoso in Hate life was tho
simplest and most democr itle would bo
astonished could they sco the airs as
sumed by their descendants.
o
The fnthers of the lepublle weie for
the most part plain people. The revolu
tion was fought and won bi the com
mon people nf the colonies. The "best
society" of the time was Tori. Hxcept
a few great families like the Schuilers
In New York and the Randolphs In Vir
ginia, the names conspicuous In revolu
tionary hlstoo had been obscure all
through colonial hlstoij. The way In
which their names tire now used by
titer descendants for their own glorifica
tion would, strike them with amazement.
And the way ln which the Sons, Daugh
ters, Dames Jiud Queens uru now squab
bling over precedence would disgust
them nt the thought of their honorably
and unpretentious struggles being made
material for such absurd child's play and
childish wrangling.
o
Still, with all the follies that attend
them, there Is something to lespect ii
any attempt to commemorato the work
ot one's ancestry for ono's country. Hut
nothing so complimentary as this can
be said of societies devoted to exploita
tion of claims to descent from early Kng
llsh kings and barons. Such claims of
descent Hre usiiall frivolous guess
work. Hxcept where his family has be"i
In continuous possession ot a country
seat or an hereditnry title, not one Eng
lishman In a hundred can trace his an-
(estry threo hundred icars b'ick Of
Americans who are forming societies en I
every hand to advertise themselves ps J
Ml'MJl'imuill? Ul villi lil'Illil Sllliuiy uaiutn
or sixth century kings, not one In a hun
dred can trace his ancestry one genera
tion back from the Hist American settler
ol his name. Nothing is easier to buy
than a genealogical tree. Scores of I-on-,
don dealers ln famll.v trees will sell any
American who has the price n genea
logical trco connecting him vvltn any
family he chooses. Societies based on
such genealogies can depend on ono
I thing, they will exclto more ridicule
f.l, rn. ni tin, n pv.n nt hnmi. Their v.'ilUfi
) Is better known where they are made to
order for the export tiade.
A LESSON FROM DENVER.
1'ioin the New Yoik Sun.
The propiletors ot fourteen dcpaitincnt
stores ln Denver made a combination,
und Informed tho dally newspapers, ot
that town that unless rates were reduced
tney would withdraw their udveitlsing.
Hates were not i educed. The newspapers
,.ouU,n.t uftord to bp controlled by the de-
iMrtmeut stores. The depaitment stores
stopped advertising in me ncwspapeis
and resorted to tho prlmltlvo method of
hundbills. The newspaper publishers
made a philosophical comparative study
of advertising lales In Denver und other
cities of ubout the same bUe and de-
eld(d to raise their lutes for heavy ml-
. vertlsers. They wnlttd culmly lor the
stilkers to get tiled.
' o
I The stilkeis weie not long In gelling
j tired. The trades unions, the local paper
i mills, and other concerns boicotted them.
Tho fait that they had au thing to sell
was concealed fiom the general public
because they didn't advertise In the news
papers. Vast and solemn seclusion sur
l minded thoe big shops once pueked
with customi rs. Tor nine dais "the big
stoies weie empty, and cleiks were em
ployed to sciub the floors and windows In
a vain cftort to find work to keep them
busy." Meanwhile the smaller fellows
began to advertise with power and tho
cash began to pour Into their strong
boxes: "A number of small concerns
that took advantago of the 'loicott to be
gin advertising found Immediate results,
one house having to call for police to
keep back tho crowds, while the largy
places wero piaetlcully empli. A Uttlu
diy goods linn that hud nevei been heard
of before leported today that It had
turned awai a tnousund people lor want
of room to receive them Inside."
o

Is a business by itself and whilst many houses assume and advertise that
that they are in that line but very few can carry this special work out
to a successful termination. We claim to be one of the exceptional few,

chief designer brought to us the best recommendations from some of the

Otherwise we would not have employed him. He is surrounded by a
corps of proficient assistants. Therefore we can always lay claim to be
ing unsurpassed by none and equalled by few In our ability to furnish
houses with the latest in the way of
