WEIXOXK THE MEW STATE.
No fact it more patent to tbc average,

tht "Starof Empirt" ha bcensieadilT
aati tlj' wending ha way westward,
until to-day, we find thai the center of
popalatHMi m much nearer the land of the
setting son, thai it wai a acore of years
ago.
What has been the result of all this?
The 'answer it many-aided and complex,
By it, new lands; yea, new continent
have been opened np to the weal and en
terpna of the American, be be native or
natnraliied. Our country hat been made
Kite protperotii at home and more pow
erfUJ Abroad. The million of happy and
intelligent home which dot our western
prairie are so many beacon light to
American progress and civilization.
iadeed, trot it it, the borne of a nation
arc ite rtrangctt fort. Bat how has
tbbea accomplished? By (imply adding
to the tJtterhood ol State the new tcrrl-
tcfrlaJStatr toon a they bad ac
qtured the' necessary ' qualification of
population and Jprojrn-ss. From year

now srises how have our legislators
wived theae problem?, It bright here
that w would enter our protest and
crrtickrn. To-day w have arvera teni
tone knocking at the national front
door for admission. For a loiig time the
call has been unheeded. , Bill after bill,
intarcealon after intercession have been
had but without avail. Congress has
devoted It time to angry Weltering In
the nope of gaining a political vantage
point," Thi. it all wrongl there art
territories eligible to statehood and we
believe there are they (herald be admit
ted ft once, no matter where their loca
tion or what their political creed. The
member of Congress who considers mere
party advantage of more consequence
than the nation' welfare should be in
vited home, and the sooner the better.
Gratlenxn of Congress, ttop your fool
ing and welcome the new State.
Cabinet makinu.
liver since the election of President
HarrUoa becane known on the 6th and
7th of November last, nearly every newt-
papar ia tb country, including the big
add the little, the short and the tali, the
influential and the non-influentiul, have
been engaged in Cabinet-making. Every
probable, at well at possible, candidate
hat been brought forth and groomed and
had hit record thoroughly aired. Of thi
tort of busbies Thi Citurn hat had and
witl have nothing to do. Mr. Harrison
wat the nominee of a great party and re
ceived majority of the electoral vote.
Ik ha been in public life sufficiently long
and la well enough acquainted with pub
lic men and affair to select hi own Cab
inet. If thi be 'not true we sadly umler
ratt hit ability. He has been besieged by
committee representing the claim ol
citlten. toldiert, colored people, artisan,
and divert other organization all want
ing and expecting something. We do not
beHeve that these vinit will have one
whit of influence with the ultimate make
np of hit Cabinet, at lenrt, we hope not;
for a man to be a socccssf ul President ol
sixty million of people must needs have
more decision of character than this
would imply, The home of the Presiden t
elect hat become a tort of Mecca to which
tht hungry and rabid politicians twarra
like beet between the Ides of November
and March. Hither they go like the wor-
thippert of old, tocarry their bunlcn and
ievauces and not a few to
offer advice7Tfa an influx of politi
ciaat at the national capital that killed
the cider Harrison In 1840, rather than
any ailment of the body. We do not
need, we do not want a politician's Pres
klent or a politkiau' Cabinet. But what
we do want it a man who will be Presi
dent of the whok country, and a Cabinet
mark trp of braad-niiuded, representative
statesmen, choseu with reference to abil
ity first; geographical position second,
and politician' influence not at all. For
such w bide our time and confidently
await the result. - 4
There it a good deal of red tape .about
the Spaniard. Mr. Terry Belmont re
cently found himself In an unpleasant fix
in Madrid. Hit crcdcntiult at minister
were aU right, but as the government
had received no official notification of his
appointment from Washington, he could
not bt received at Court. It wat in bad
form for him to stay in Madrid, and be
had to go to Seville and wait until Wash
ing could be heard from.

net Secretary of tl.eutwH-crc.ted r- j T
partmentof Agriculture, is we think, a
good one so far as the man ajui ofTice are : f
concerned. There is every reason to sup-
po that the new department w,i! prove !
hitrhlr beneficial to the countrT at larire
and especially to the agricultural class
who comprise so larj;e a majority.
Though Mr. Colman's lease of ofllce will be
brief only eighteen days still he will be

established. Whoever his successor may
be, and we hope it may lie Mr. Colman,
we shall look for good result to conic
from the new Department.
An Old Ooldlcr'a Complaint.
We print so much of the accompanying
communication, recently received by the
Commissioner of Pensions, as we can
properly, though it loses something by
this editing. The only objection to what
we omit is in the use of homely Saxon
terms which arc held to be inadmissible
in print, as Mr. Wegg would say,
'ladies present." It is a most cha-octcr-
istic document and one which we are as
sured was actually received by General
Black:
Afr. Black, Commissioner, Wmthington,
D.C.:
Dkas; Sib: I've just got anothero'your
postal cards tellin me" to go before the
doctors and be examined. I ve bin Kitten
these cord bout every new munc since I
plide fcr an increase (if my pension too
years ago, I've bin examined, an punched
in the ribs, and sounded in the lungs, and
made to bend over the back oi a chair,
and lay bare-backed on a table and per
form all sorts of monkey shines,
till I tec! at if i orter have
salary with an agent to go ahead and
stick up bills.
To begin with you sent me to a couple
01 doctor up to .Skin Crttk, and it took
e m a nul our to hnd out the reason wbv
tliey couldent find any circulation in my
left ice is becaus it was a wooden one
The next time you sent me to a littlecuss
with glasses down to Kwampville, and
after lumlilin me long enough he put mi
trues on hind side fore; and said the pud
was intenneii to nruce up mi spun Kolom,
Three or four times after that you sent
me to odd and end of doctors, who
couldent tell tlie dillcreiicc between an
epileptic Simpton and a biled klam. And
(be last time you sent me before a full
board of Surgeons down to the Cowntv
Sete, they come to the k inclu
sion nigh's i could ketch on, t hut some
tbing was the matter with my bladder,
r a a a
i. Perhniis this is all right, it mnv be fun
fur the doctors; it was fun for nie for
awhile, but now tliut you order me back
to the lust too doctors, and prolinnly ex
pect me to start on the same old cirkus
over again, I'm goin to kik like nbrimlle
Hear. Last summer on account of the
(riskiness of a natr of colts, mv wooden
leg got tnagled up, and was elm wed to
didders in a-iuowing machine, i plied to
the doctor gem-rnl ler a new In in. but he
ed i'd only hnd the old one three years
and i'd have tu wate too years more lie
fore the Government could afford to make
hole in the surpluss lv gettin me an
other. 80 I'M WAl'llN. And in all
(his interestin immorammcr of xamina
tiona i've bin hubblin rownd on one luiir.
jnd doin mi best tw prove that tme trt
Unkel Sam's Veterans, with one laig in
the graiv an the other nigh, it is liet
tem a korp by several per sent, But
hobblin rownd in this way aint fust kins
phunlora tiddy job. I've etood it a
good wile wilhowt grumblin, and, 1 sup
pose furnished a good (ltd of plum fcr the
doctor, pnyin nn own xiensis.
Meanwile mi nntrule laig, the one i
browt away sale from the Wilderness,
ba took to the ruemntit, till I'm almost
sorrie i dident drop it when i did the other
one. About the only help mi well laig
tan give me now, is to serve a a sort of
t rudder when I'm ttidin down stnir.
Now Mr. CommisHiouer, about this
matter of increasin mi jieiiHion, vuu may
do jest a you plense. If yon think
lusing one leg at the Wilderness in lHtt-t,
blotted out the record ofn bullet thro the
body at Antietum in lHlla, and if you
think that the pension i've bin gittin is
full pay for a set of busted insult s, and
aint bin running in order in more en
10 year, and never will lie this side of
New Ocrusnlim, ALL RIGHT, if the
Government saw to i'm a silent piirdncr.
But i'm going to tell you jest between us,
that when that minnie ball went thro
me at Antietum. it played with sum
important part of my innards, and
played it fer keeps. IT CUT SOMK
nUNO ALL TO FLINDERS. 1 don't
know wether it was mi liver or mi lungs
mi gizxnrd er nii melt and your pet doc
tors dont team to know as much nlxmt
it e i do. The Plain Facts, That What
I'M Drivin AT, broke up and busted me
from heel to whixkci's, and 1 uot busted
at Antietum define my leg was lost, and
tne records says so. 1 liev wanted to dis
charge me for the first bullet, and i
wouldent let em. I wns bound to stick
till we busted the rvliellion or the rcliels
busted me with more than one bullet
through my IhmIv, and I did, mid now
u've made me so much nmrchin trtim pil
ler to post in this hid? and seek game,
with the doctors ns would have done me
to the end of the War. II' 1 wnsent cood
enough to march them i'm if 1 will
do any more of it now, as you needcut
ay any more doctor charges lor me.
lou'vehecn actually pavin the doctors
00 dollurs a year fur staviu oil' my klaim,
and that' more'n you'd hud to luty me
if you'd granted mv inereuse nt lirst site.
loueuehercd me out ol gittiiiaceut of
that Do dollars, and now fin gout to
euchre the cussed doctors on gitten any
more on it. ii i go neiorc uuy more ikh -tor
for an examination vnuve got to do
something mor'n send nie a postal card.
You'll have to haul me liel'ore e'm with a
derrick. Now I don't want to lie sassv,
i aint built that wnv. But Mr. Illaek.'ii'
you expect to blown nn out ns Vice-l'resi-dent
of these- I 'uited State by Inn kin
aguinst tlie honist claiute ol an old Vet
eran, with one fool in the grave and the
other- near it, vou re gittin down
more hay than you'll have time to cock
up. You'll make alxuit as much at that
game as the Surgeon General will by ve
toin wooden legs.
Respectfully yours with a good
MEMORY.
PERSONAL, AND UENEK Al
Let Mr. Harrison beware of John Wan-

Your I'nefcf Johnsie New, of IniliunniMi-
