There was rejtubhshed in the lire, of yesterday an article from the Sioux City Journal rioting the fac t of a considerable exodus fiotii eastern and southern Iowa to northeastern Nebraska. Most of the peojde who are emigrating from Iowa to this stale have lieen. it appears, renters of farms, and they have been successful in accumulating enough capital to be come purchasers. As they can buy good land in Nebraska very much cheaper than in Iowa, they are coming to thin state, and lieing practical arid exjieri enced agri' iilturalistH they are most welcome. Very likely the example of tthese eople will liecome contagious a- d tliere will be witnessed a more extensive 'emigration from Iowa of farmer living on rented lands who, having the means to buy, wilt invent in the cheajier and iUlly desirable lauds of Nebraska. A roiiMderebla accemioa to our farming (population from Kunwui in also promised i if reported inquiries mean anything, and Umw h arary mason to look for a move mteot ia ttaia direction from Illinoin ami No Haste to Dismember Nebraska iuu!m li' C. The plan to dismember the state of .Nebraska and to annex tlie northwestern portion of the stale to Wyoming, which was launi bed upon the irrigation con vention at tiering, is nim h easier ro posed than jierfected. The jirojiosilioii is substantially this, to sejiersiU the nine counties of Banner, Box Dutte, Chevenne vawes, K'uel, Kimball, Scott's Ul.uff, Sheridan and Sioux from Nebraska, and nand them over to Wyoming on the pecious idea that their interests as re gard irragation will be better subserved ny such a jiroceedure. It is urged that ihe demands of the semi-arid jortion ol the state are not listened to with the de sired attenliveiiess by the iieonle who ire blessed w ith homes in more favored listricts, and that sympathy with the rragation idea is lamentably wanting All that is necessary to remedy these ill imeneu conumons is to secure annexa tion to Wyoming. That once accom pl'shed and legislation will raiu down ipon the sun-dried foothills a shower hat will transform them into a garden .f Eleu. The nine counties which constitute the panhandle extend over more than 14,500 square miles of land, or nearly a fifth of the entire state of Nebraska. To be sure they are but sparsely pojmlated and nave a much smaller relative iuqior tance in estimating the resources of the tale. Their comcined population ac cording to the last census was some W.(HM); that is, less than one-twenty-fifth f the w hole number of residents within the state. That census, however, show ed that these counties had had a most wonderful growth during the jireceding lecade, having disclosed only 2,2-TT in habitants in 180. Ten years ago the territory in question was comprised in hut two counties, a large part lieing entirely utiopu!ated and unorganized. fhe policy which Nebraska has adojited cannot, then, lie charged with having ob- tructed the growth cf this portion of state. Had it formed a part of Wyom ing during these years, would it lie able to show any more marked advances to day or would its rosectH for future development have lieen any better? Were it clearly demonstrated that the transfer of this strip to Wyoming would l for the good of both its inhabitants and tiie jrt.'ople of the rest of Nebraska, the assent of the state could doubtless !e obtained. But mere ex parte state ments are not sufficient proof of the benefits to accrue. It is also to lie' re membered that there are others con cerned besides the originators of the scheme. The federal constitution jiro vides that no state shall lie formed out of jiortions of two or more existi: g states without their consent, as well as the consent of congress. It must lie first ascertained whether Wyoming looks with favor on the projiosal, and then congress, representing the whole of the United States, must lie won over. All these steps tire not to be taken in a day. If all interests were unanimously agreed upon itishing the project, it could not be completed short of severaL years. It is a question as yet whether the ueoule' of the panhandle really want to forsake Nebraska for Wyoming, and it is o greater question whether such move would benefit either state. It will be quite safe to move slowly in the matter, particularly since nothing can lie accom plishitf by inordinate haste.
