That trade should be done away with

ADMITTING DAKOTA.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Congressman
Springer was asked tonight if the
democrats will fight the admission of
Dakota as a state.
"Yes," said Mr.. Springer, II shall OPP
pose it, anyway. Utah is more fit and
better equipped everyway than Dakota
but / shall object to the admission of
any territory as state until the
boundaries of population become fixed.
/ should oppose the admission of Utah,
New Mexico and Arizona just as seri-
ously, although we would get demQ-
cratic senators from these States. I
think we ought to wait until this west
ern country is sufficiently developed
for us to determine what will be the
probable character and density of the
population, and tell where to put the
boundaries and how much territory
they ought to contain. We made
a mistake you see in admitting
both Colorado and Nevada.
Nevada is too small, and should never
have been made state, while in order
to take population enough we made
the boundaries of Colorado too extern
sive. Nov the trouble with Dakota is,
we do not yet know what she is going
to amount to, and so can as well wait,
and the people are just as we'll off I'M
der the present form of government.
/ do not think she will be admitted.

it is claimed that Senator Don Cam.

administration that Pennsylvania shall
have two foreign missions, one first
and one second-class, and that he is
now making up his mind as to whom
he viii name for the places. The
name of General Hartranft is suggested
for one place, as, if he should be ap
pointed, Mr.. Cameron would have the
nomination of new Collector at Phil
adelphia.
MR.. DEGREES,
the public printer, being questioned al
to the truth of the report that he is tc
be removed, says that he knows moth
ing about it, that he was appointed
without solicitation on his own part
that he has not asked to be retained
nor sought to have his friends interfere
in his behalf, nor will he raise finger
to prevent his removal.

that which has accrued to the inhabitants Of
malaria ridden portions of the United States and
the Tropics from the use of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. The experience of many years has but
too clearly demonstrated the inefficeney of
quinine and other drugs to effectually combat the
progress of intermittent, congestive and bilious
remittent fevers, while on the other hand, ii has
been no less clearly shown, that the use of the
Bitters, a medicine congenial to the frailest con-

affords a reliable safeguard against malarial
diseases, and arrests it when developed. For
disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, for
general debility and renal inactivity it is also a
most efficient remedy. Appetite and sleep are

THERE is real or affected alarm Ia

Canada from the United States in 1880
increased in 1881 over 81 per cent,
while the imports from Great Britain
increased only % per cent. The in
crease from the United States was
largely in manufactured goods, fact

light in explaining the matter.
