ment, one Of his companions, becoming
alarmed, shook him and requested him
to sit up. As he did not speak il was
discovered that he was unable TO move,
and Officer Hardesty, who was standing
near, vas summoned, as was also
physician from among the spectators,
who pronounced the young man TO be
dying. The words were hardly spoken
when he ceased to breathe. The young
man was struck, presumably, by the fall
ling stick from the rocke he admired, or
by an exploding bomb. but no blood fol-
lowed, and he muttered no sound when
struck.

THE TWO DIKOT4S,

A new thing has happened. The inhabitants
of a Territory larger than most of the states
of the Union, though their growth in numbers,
wealth and productive power has been and is
wonderfully rapid, have met in convention to
petition that the Territory be not admitted as q
State. but continued under IA Territorial Gov
eminent. Without explanation, this proceed
ing might be supposed to betokcn degree Of
moderation, and modest shrinking from the
RESPONSIBILITIES of self-goyernment, which are
not often found in the new communities Of the
West. But the explanation is easy. Dakota,
in its physical conditions and in lines of traffic
and communication, is essentially composed OF
two distinct Territories. The inhabitants pray
that it may be 50 treated in respect to civil
OF organization and government and their petition
certainly appears to have foundation in reason.
Southern and Northern Dakota are sepa-
rated, along the Minnesota line, by an Indian
reservation, and west of that by tract of ter
ritory almost wholly unsettled. Twelve
counties, covering IA strip about 100 miles wide
and reaching across the Territory, appear
from the last census to have population of
less than 500 in all. Not a single line of com
munication exists across this unoccupied strip of
territory. South of 1t lies the older and more
settled part of the Territory, penetrated by
several railroads. North of it lies the vast and
rich wheat growing region watch the Northern
Pacific has penetrated. But resident of either
portion, in order to reach State capital located
in the other, would be obliged to travel hun
dreds of miles into MinnesOta--substantiall all
tho way to St. Paul-and back again by @
| different route. AS matters stand. it would

from emigration statistics. 1t is either
specific hardship which drives each foreigner
from his own home or a specific attraction
which draws him TO a new country. IL Is not
that the increase in population in Germany mas
been /, 800 during the decade, nor that the
corresponding increase iU' Great britain ana
Ireland has been 3,GtS,22 1; nor is it because
the United States Government has cleared OF
$133, $50. O1S of the National debt during the
last year, and can easily count upon a surplus
of over S1OOOOO,O00 in its annual revenues.
II is bcco1se the mass Of the immigrants have
realized how hard was their. lot whore they
were, and have learned by letters from rcla-
tives and neighbors in America how easily and
securely they could better it. The only safe
deduction from the statistics of the decade is
that the world at large gains 10y the rcdistrlbu-
ton of population. Europe actually gains by
its losses from emigration. for the surplus popu-
latOn WIS eyhaustiDg its productive energies,
and America does not lose by what ii gains, for
