ONE Of the hardest fought party bat
ties in Congress this Winter will prob
ably be over the admission of Dakota
to the Unien. The bill providing for
it's admission is on the calendars OF
both Houses, and will be reached early
in the session. The Republicans will
make desperate efforts to pass it this
Winter, as with the end of the session
the House of Representatives passes
under the control of the Democrats.
Dakota elected Republican Delegate
to Congress at the late election, by an
overwhelming majority, and its ad-
mission as State means two more
Republican Senators, another Reput-
lican Congressman, and three Repub-
lican votes in the electoral college in
1904

The Much Abused DarKey.

The best indication of what is being
done for the colored people in the
South is in the fact that in the sixteen
Southern States the white school pop
ulation is 3,S99, ,96l, and the colored l =
SG3, ,257. There are 16, $50 colored pub
lie schools, forty-four normal schools,
thirty six colored institutions of sec
ondary instruction, fifteen colored
universities and colleges, twenty-five
colored schools of theology, three col
ored law schools, two colored medical
schools, and two colored deaf and dumb
and blind institutions. We gather
these facts from the Columbus (Ga.)
Inquirer,
Does any one believe that the North
ern Radicals who constantly boast OF
their love for the darkeys could do any
better by them?

Prayer Cure.

A Washington, Pa, telegram Of
Friday says: Another cure by faith
and prayer is reported in this county.
A daughter of John H. Rogers, who
resides in the vicinity of Amity, has
been confined to her bed for two years
by spinal affiiction. She has been
raised twice in that time to sitting
position, when she went into spasms
each time. She was taken to celebra
ted physicians in Philadelphia once,
but they could afford her no relief
Since the Hoffman case has been made
public she has risen from her bed OF
sickness, and imputes her restoration
to the power of prayer, as she has
been visited several times recently by
Hoffman, and has been very penitent,
spending some time in prayer for her
recovery, and asking Others to pray
for her. She is twenty-five years OF

THE members of the Congregational
church at Easton, Mass, are happy
over the result of the election in that
State. Their church building was
burned not long ago, and in soliciting
subscriptions from their fellow towns
men, the Hon. Oliver Ames jokingly
told them that if he was elected Lieu
tenant Governor he would give them
50, 500, provided the successful candi-
date for Governor would do the same.
Gen. Butler, it is said heard the story,
and offered to fulfill the latter proviso,
In case he should succeed at the head
of the ticket. Gen. Butler and Mr..
Ames were both elected, and the State
of Massachusetts, has therefore voted

A Washington special of the oath
inst, to the Plain Dealer, says: "The
scandal over the bills of the Tariff
Commission continues to grom in di-
mensions. The conduct of this Com
mission in the matter of it's expenses
is inexcusabie, and some of the bills
are so monstrous that the accounting
officers of the Treasury have thrown
them out. 1t was understood at the
time this body was appointed that the
only purpose of it was to relieve Re-
publican Congress from the necessity
of legislating on the tariff, and to give
some political hacks soft job; bu|
nobody ever expected that the thing
would cost SO much. The Commission
had an exceedingly pleasant excursion
over the countrG, living OH the fat of
the land, enjoying pleasure rides, ban
quets, sea bathing, and high priced
grOg in unlimited quantities, and what
they have tn show for it doer not yet
appear, except a bill appropriating
some $4,000. There is no doubt that
Congress will cali for an accounting
and probably an investigation will fol
low. Here, for instance, are some OF
the items charged up during the stay
Of the Commission in single city
carriages $l06; barber, SIS; umbrellas,
$50; flowers, SO; servants, $l06; news
papers, 81 fruit, $50; liquors and min
eral waters, $3.50; cigars, $25, And so
on. 1t is threatened that the govern.
ment will refuse to pay these prepos-
ferrous bills, but the Commission will
wake a poor mouth about it and Re-
publican Congress will doubtless vo.e
them the money.

Republican Material.

Our friends of the Republican press
have of late been devoting time and
space to the discussion of the next
Democratic candidates for the Presi.
dency. It is very kind of them to
take such an interest in the business
of the Democracy. But we fear they
are overlooking their own interests in
their efforts to give advice to their op-
ponents. And now let US suggest q
few names for the next Republican
Convention to take under coDsidera
ton. In the meantime the Republican
papers could devote their extra space
to the discussion of the claims of the
respective states:

THE tidal wave swamped a good
many of the River and Harbor states
men. OF the 122 Congressman who
voted for the steal, IS were Republi-
cans, 81 Democrats, and 5 Indepen-
dents. Thirty four of the l22 did not
secure a denomination. OF the IS who
were renominated, q failed of re-elec-
tion-19 Republicans, 5 Democrats,
and Independents. The "a River
and HarbOr Democrats reelected all
come from the South, and it is obvious
that the party in Congress would be
8 ronger without them. The heavy
appropriation obtained for the Missis-
sippi doubtless blinded their constitu-
ents to the indecencies of the remain
der of the bill. The most notable
punishments administered were in
Ross and Harris districts in New
Jersey. They are both strongly DEM
ncratic, going 1900 and 5000 majority.
Both members voted for the bill, and
Notwithstanding the Democratic drift
generally, were defeated.

The Labor Congress against High
TarifE.

We copy the following paragraphs
from the Plain Dealers report of the
Wednesdays proceedings of the Labor
Congress which held its meetings in
the Forest City last week:
When the delegates reassembled at
two o'clock yesterday afternoon dis
cussion upon F. K. Fosters paper on
" Protection VS.. Wages" proceeded and
was participated in by nearly all the
delegates. The author of the paper
made an eloquent speech. On motion
of Mr.. Foster Section II of the plat
form of principles, which recommends
to Congress the adoption of "such
laws as shall give to every American
industry full protection from the cheap
labor of foreign countries" was strick-
en- out. This means that the congress
puts itself on record as not ia favor OF
high or protective tariff. The vote
upon this was seventeen to one, but it
I was practically unanimous, as Mr.. w.
H. Foster, who voted in the negative,
explained that he did so und der instruc-
tions.

Mr.. Howard, of Fall River, offered a
resolution condemnatory Of the action
of the Pacific Mills, Of Lawrence,
Mass, and the Harmony Mills, of Co
hoes, New York. In support of the
resolution, Mr.. Howard stated that
from 1863 until 1882 the Pacific Mills
had earned 381 per cent. of the capital
stock of two and a-half million dollars
being at the rate of twenty and one
ninth per cent. per annum. Yet they
are forcing their thousands Of hands
into lockout because the employees
refuse to submit to a reduction OF
eighteen cents from their wages OF
eighty five cents per day. These ope-
ratives, he said, earned little ever $3
per week on an average while paying
So week for board. The resolution
was adopted.
The workingmen seem to be getting
their eyes open to the fact that it is the
monopolist and privileged capitalist
who is profiting from high protective
tariff, and that the latter enjoys little
or none of the special favors which are
being SO literally showered by the gov
ernment on the former.

OF taxpayers. The colOred outnumbcr the
whites by us, and in two out OF the three
wards the cOlored have a majority. In the
nominations for cOuncilmen by the whites
there is some offer OF compromise, but

ton Of the matter.
Up TO the issue Of Yesterdays Register
the war between the Council and the Mayor
had been growing hotter and hotter. Yes
terdav mutual friends brought about eX-
plantations and Withdrawal Of expressions
deemed offensive, and now, il is hoped, the
trouble is all over. The quarrel arose from
an inquiry of the Council as to what be-
came Of the fines reported ms "not col
lected and carried forward" and the re-
fusa OF his Honor TO permit the records OF
his Office to be examined by n committee OF
the Council, the demand being regarded
by him as offensive. The commit
tce-Messrs. j. ID. Blair, j. +. RiSon,
and j. IL. Estes-nOw disclaim any
intention Of rejecting upon the Mayor, or
of conveying the impression that any fines
had been collected 10y him which had not
been accounted for. and Mayor Ayres re-
tracts anything which he had published
that might have been construed as ollen-
sive. And yet il must be added that 1t APP
pears from one OF the cards OF the Mayor

had been fined in the Police Court from
whom it was afterwards ascertained that
the fines could not be collected, and that
