THE RIGHTS OF TERRITORIES.

The Vermillion Standard of last week
contains an elaborate article in opposition
10 the proposition that the people of terri
tories should be endowed with political
rights, and characterizes the bill introduced
by Judge Kidder for the accomplishment of
that purpose as a mere campaign document
and one which can have no legal effect
Whatever may have been the purpose Of our
delegate in framing this measure, its ulti-
mate object is within the limits of constitu-
tional law and the sphere Of common sense
reasoning. A people deprived of a voice
in the regulation Of their own affairs most
heartily endorse it, hope for relief through
its provisions, and will ever pray that the
single individual whom the law permits
their suffages to gives representative. posi-
tion may devote his time to the preparation
and enactment Of just such campaign doc
uments in behalf of his con ndituents. The
theory propagated by the Standard is con.
densed in the following paragraph taken
from the article referred to-:
The notion that territories, or inchoate
states, shall be Internationally endowed
with pleusry political power is manifest i'm
practicability, and wholly inconsistent with
the operative plan of the republic. 1t is an
alb. urdity. The theory of of the constitu.
tion and the practical fact is that the terito-
ries infants are in the sisterhood Of states,
entitled to and guaranteed the parental care
Of the general government until they shall
have attained to statehood. This relation
ship of guardian and ward is as fixed, in the
nature Of things, a. the bond that

Of the principal features of the pending bill, but
that has been going on concerning this subject is
extraordinary, but there Is no reason to believe
thai up to the present time the advocates Of silver
reconciliation have been able to agree upon any
measure which is satisfactorysto the executive.
There are those among the opponents of the hi
who believe the President would give his approval
to law containing substantially the provisions OF
the amendment proposed by Mr. Blaine, and there
are some senators who have been counted as "a
vorable to the pending bill who will vote for the
amendm' MT providing that the silver dollar shall
contain 400 grains.

We sincerely regret that Mr.. Blaine abandons
the SAT- aud solid ground when he himself points
out so clearly and has nothing better to suggest
than new guess of his own for that which the

The comments upon Senator Blaine,
speech on the silver bill, which we copy
from our metropolitan exchanges, are
worthy a careful perusal by our readers
No other speech delivered in senate OF
house upon the silver question has attract
ed so large, distinguished and attentive
an audience as Mr.. Blaine's And for the
most part the comments upon it bl The
leading papers are highly favorable. Ii
his recommendations were adopted the
solution of the silver question would be
accomplished in such a manner as
to command general endorsement
except from the extremists on both
sides of the question. They will
oppose the bill, the extreme silver men
because the silver dollar of 425 grains
which it provides Tor is too heavy to
please them, and the single gold standard
advocates because as they declare it is
too light for them. Of course it is well
understood that the extreme advocates OF
the gold standard would not have any sill
yer dollar at all, no matter what the
weight might be, so that their objection
that the silver dollar proposed by Mr.
Blaine is not heavy enough is entitled to
but little respect. The dollar suggested
by Mr.. Blaine is u IL grains heavier than
the dollar of the daddies," and grains
heavier than the trade dollar. The point
made in his speech that the adj
vocates of the Bland bill favor a
dollar for home circulation of but Alp
1-2 grains, while they would coin one OF
APO grains to send to China and Australia,
thus discriminating against our own peo-
pie in favor Of foreigners, created lut-
tering among the Blandtes.
