Union. To bring these crops to
market there have been built in the
Territory many miles Of railroad, and
Gov. Ordway estimates that there
are now not less than 1000 miles in
operation.
Senator Mcmillan, of Minnesota,
suggests that the Territory be di-
vided on the forty sixth parallel, and
only the southern portion at present
be admitted as State This portion
has population of about 100000,
and will in few years have full
Congressional ratio. While the rea>
sons for the division are forcible,
there are some strong objections
to it. On the one hand, it may be
said that the Territory has already
been divided in manner by nature
The Northern and Southern half be
longing to different water basins, and
there is a barren stretch of land be
tween them. In fact, the means of
Communication between them are as
yet extremely limited, and the travel
er passes from one to another only
by long detour through the States.
On the other hand, the feeling is IN
questionably growing In the older
States that new members to the
Union should have large area, and
capacity for supporting a con
siderable population, The multipli
cation Of States is Objectionable fol
many reasons. 1t must be remem
bered too, that there is a vast ex
tent of barren land in the Terrific
ries which must be disposed of in
some manner, yet for all the com
mon uses of representative govern
ment is merely negative quantity
Dakota itself has a large share O.
this bad land, and It ought not to bt
considered in making up the area o
the new State.
These questions are, however
subsidiary to the main one of tht
admission of the new State in some
form. On this point there can no Ion
ger be room for much honest debate
; or difference Of opinion. Dakota il
fairly entitled to be organized as
, State, and the people of the Terri
tory claim admission to full citizen
ship more as a right than as a priv
lege. The bill has, therefore, ever,
prospect Of passing the next Con
gress. It ought not to be oppose

THE NEW STATE OF DAKOTA.

The Territory of Dakota will ask
to be admitted as a State into the
Union. It is understood that Presi-
dent Arthur well recommend it In
his annual message. There is no
reason why it should not be done.
It has larger population than the
State of Arkansas or Florida had
when they were admitted and it is
growing rapidly. But this question
will not be considered by those who
will oppose the admission. The
politics of it's inhabitants will be
considered. AS they are, Republi-
cans, large majority of them
Democratic Representatives and
Senators will not favor the admis-
sion of the Territory as State. They
are opposed to anything that will
give two more Republican Senators,
a Republican Representative and
three Republican votes in the cleo
toral college. Discussing the ques-
ton of its admission the Chicago
Tribune says:
The claims of the Territory to ad
mission are very strong. Its popu-
lation according to the census of
1880 was 1876, $50. The census was
completed in June of last year, and
in the eighteen months that have
since expired, food of immigration
has been pouring into the Territory.
Its rate of growth has probably been
more rapid in the last two Years than
that of any other part of the Union.
The homestead entries in Dakota for
the year ending June 80, 1881, were
8S73-more than those of Kansas
and Minnesota combined; and the
pre- emption entries were one-third
of all there were made in the United
States, covering 274, 206 acres. The
entries under the timber culture
act were 5l33, nearly one hall
of the whole number in the United
States, covering 1862 99 acres. In
view Of these figures lately furnished
to the press by the Land-office at
Washington, the estimate of an in
crease Of $4,000 in the population
since the census was taken is proba>
bly, under the mark. Dakota con-
tains at the present writing III the
neighborhood of 175,000 populations
and in round numbers $4,000 more
than the ratio sufficient to entitle
the Territory to one Congressman
1t has about thrice the population
of Nevada, which has been o State
since 1864, and has more inhabitants
than Arkansas, Florida, California
Oregon, Kansas, Nebraska, or Col
orado had when they were admitted
Dakota also has the solid basis Of
prosperity and the promise of en-
during growth in fertile soil, q
wholesome, though severe, climate
great mineral resources, and 81
abundance of timber and water. II
isznot, like Nevada, merely mass Of
mountains and mining territory
which may soon be exhausted and
leave it worthless for all other pur
poses Dakota has rich and extern
sive deposits of coal and salt, which
in the long run are worth more to &
State than gold and silver mines. 7
also has soil excellently vel
adapted to grain growing In th,
year 1879 there were raised in tht
Territory 100000 bushels of corn
100000 bushels of wheat, 3,300,00t
bushels of oats, and barley, rye AM
buckwheat in proportion. The cro]
of 1880 was much larger, and eve
in the present season there has bee
no such general failure of crops il
Dakota as in other parts of tn

This is considerably the largest
immigration in any single year, and
indicates nothing more serious than
the general restlessness which moves
the people about the world The
numbers from Germany, Canada,
Scandinavia and the British isles,
are especially significant. Some will
be gratifed at the limited number
of Chinese during the three months
of July, August and September; this
year the arrivals were l71,S03; an
increase Of 16,576 over the cores
ponding period of last year-princi-
palIy from Germany, England and
Wales, Scandinavia, Canada and
Ireland,-an increase from every
nation except the last two.
It is well known, that from On
early period the current of of i'm
migration to our shores has been
constant and increasing. It is not
so generally known that counter
current has set in which carries away
thousands every year. The record
of this outward movement goes back
less than fifteen years. We give it
for the last ten years:

It will be observed how rapidly
the annual arrivals diminished after
the financial disasters in the autumn
of 1873 with corresponding increase
of deprtures; and how marked the
change after the revival Of business
in the spring of 1879. The present
unexampled influx may be expected
to continue as long as prosperity
blesses our land and political dis
turbances agitate Europe.
The result of the Congressional
election in the Eleventh New York
district is most astonishing. Last
November, Hon L. P. Morton was
elected by 1884 plurality over his

The writer is very glad to state that
he has made arrangements to procure
q small lot of good land in Iron county,
on which to make himself home, 30
that in the future he will be, If possi-
BILE, more completely identified with
the people of this region than he has
been in the past; and he would state
further. that in treating of the work of
developing the country he is not writ
ing of things that he has not actually
done, for he retains the memories of
sore hands and many backache trace

It is here proposed to state one more
