The admission 81 Dakota ~ 4
state, and the Gillian and Peruvian
troubles, were the topics discussed
Boston club yesterday afternoon Is
Parkers. The discussion was
brought about BY the presence Of
two Of the invited guests Judge
Bennett Of Dakota, who was former
~ one OF the congressional delegates
from that territory, and Captain
James Hall, for many years conn
mander Of one Of the steamers ply
ing between Panama and valparai-
20, and who will be remembered by
all readers Of Richard III. Dana's
1.-TWO Years Before the Mast
udge Bennett was introduced BY
General Banks, who gave his rea-
SONS why Dakota should be admit
ted to the privileges Of the Union,
and Mr.. Bennett then gave a graph
ic description Of the country he rep
resents, it's climate, institutions and
advantages and its wonderful growth.
He claimed that Dakota had shown
greater enterprise. in proportion to
its age and opportunities than any
other section Of the country; that
its educational system, based on
that of Massachusetts, was excep-
tionally good; that it was practical
ly self-sustaining state, everything
needed for its development being
found within its borders; and that
after it had been as long in the IN
ion as Nevada it would far outstrip
her, both in growth aud in import
ance. In conclusion lie said: ut is
desired by the people Of Dakota
that the territory be divided; the
southern half be admitted as state,
and o distinct territorial govern
ment provided for the northern Sec
ton. This will give a state larger
than eight states the size Of Massa-
chusetts. With a fine and salubri-
Gus climate, diversified resources
and industries, Dakota gives prom
ise Of being one Of the richest and
moot populous states Of the Union.
