We take the following extract from an
article in the Cleveland plsiudealer, Of
The I'd inst. 1t takes a liberal, and we
think a correct view Of the doctrine Of
Squatter Sovereignty, and we think every
enlightened ci izen Of the United States,
viii heartily commend the course Of the
Executive, IN reducing TO practice, this
fundamental principle Of progressive de-
mocracy.
The present position Of this territory,
in which it has been P~rovidcntially placed
by the lameuted death Of the lite Govern
or Burt, presents another opportunity for
a similar exhibition Of the doctrine Of
Popular Sovereignty. The approaching
election FOR members Of the Legislature,
and a delegate to Congress, will afford the
people Of this territory, a good o%pportuni-
~ for an expression Of their wishes upon
he question: "WHo SHALL BE GovERNoR
or NEBRAsKAy'
So far as we can learn, we are not far
behind, what Oregon was al that time, and
he probability is, we shall soon exceed
her in power and influence. We can see
no reason, why our wishes should not be
regarded, il made known at Washington,
sls was the case then.
The war that has been waged against
he friends Of the bill, for the organization
of the territory, has spent its force against
his principle, and the Executive, standing
upon the constitution Of the country, has
nobly sustained it, and no doubt, will do
so in this case, and thereby, add another
evidence of his devotion to liberty and the
Constitution.
We do not know who would be the
peoples choice, but we do know that two
or three thousand voices from Nebraska,
speaking for any high-toned Democrat,
will secure his appointment.
W. are not aware that petitions have
been circulated by the people-they may
have been circulated by a party-but the
peoples voice is yet To be heard, and we
nope the peoples man will be appointed.
"WHo'LL DE king BUT CmARLIE?,-
Who'll be Governor of Nebraska? This
question is now ]penling among the people
of the West and the before the Councils
Of the Nation. 1t will no doubt soon be
answered by telegraph from Washington,
and wisely TOO we hope. The late exam
pie set Uy The President in The recent APP
poiutments in Oregon gives US hope thai
"Squatter Sovereignty" will continue TO
be as fully prac.ised by the Adminislra-
ton as it has been faithfully preached by
its friends.
On the resignation Of Gov. Lane, Of
Oregon, numerous applications were made
by friends OF the most distinguished men
IN the States Is fiji the vacancy. But the
President and Cabinet thought il proper
to wait and see who the people Of Oregon
wanted 10 administer their Government.
Although they had the power, they did
not wish to exercise il in sending IA slran-
ger from abroad 10 rule over the people Of
said Territory contrary 10 their wishes,
and they did moi. The people peiiiioned
and their entire appointments were made
from citizens Of Tie Territory. That was
right. That was letting the people rule.
That is "Squatler sovereignty"

The price of lumber is likely TO be higher
ne yt season than ever before. The fact that the
most available sections of pine timber on Run
River and its tributaries as well as the ST. Croix
have been entered by Eastern spectators, and
that they are charging dollar per thousand
stumpage, must of itself raise the price Of lnm-
Der throughout the Territory Hitherto the
lumbermeH have taken the imber of their ven
cradle Uncle on long trust, or at nomlna
percentage. This game, however, il seems, i

must also prove at least a month shorter than

CAPE OF GOOD HoPE-WAR ANTlCI-
PATED

~ IA ELL.
By the arrival of the steamer Victoria in
England we have information from the Cape OF
Good Hope TO the 9TH ut.
The principal subject of interest was the
pending fate OF the Orange r yer Sovereignty
where Sir George Clark with pirnary powers,
was obtaining information regarding its future
disposal Great fears entertained by the
colonists that the government will withdraw
British protecticn, in which case they expect
their farms will fall into the hands of the Doors
Many Of these farms taken from the dis
loyal in 1913, and given to those who support
the Queen authority, and the present hold ders
think they ought TO be supported in these pos
sessions which have been stocked and improved
under that impression.
There appears to be ground for apprehension
that after the Caiires get in their crops they
will take the first opportunity to resume hos
| tilites. With them are a number OF Hotten-
| lots, deserters from the levies and Cape Noun
ted Rifles, who retain their carbines. These
persons are occasionally hired by traders to cul-
tiva,e land over the Ke. Having no fixed EN-
ployment they live chiefly by robbery, and
when the Caffres, nave supply OF ammunition
will readily join them in any predatory move
ment.-[N. Y. Herald.
