That the members Of the special mission 10

ception on the South Pacific coast is evidenced by
an extract from letter from one Of them to q
relative In this city descriptive Of tho c,untry, as
follows;
Arriving at Callao from Panama on December

immigration is rushing into Dakota from all
quarrets. 1t is as much sought as Kansas, Ne
braska, and Minnesota formerly were The only
large tracts Of fertile land remaining In the coun-
try arc found in Dakota, and It's attractions are of
such unusual character that II may reasonably be
expected to have by 1890 a population ofeight or
nine hundred thousand. Its growth will almost
certainly be the phenomenon Of the decade, and
the wonder of the next census will be tho record
ofits development. The attempt to keep such a
Territory out ofthe Union will be futile, It will
react on the heads of It's authors 1fby chicanery
or ignorance the Territory should be delayed for
one session it would be impossible to keep II out
longer. Its demand is already imperative, Con-
gress should best accede TO II at once. The Gov
eminent and the people OF the United States have
no right to deny representation in Congress TO two
hundred thousand citizens.- Chicdro Ntnes.

MOnroe---Blaine.

The Government and people of the
United States have long claimed and are
ready to assert the right and duty of this
Republic to protect any member of the
American family of nations against such
European interference as would tend to
the subversion of existing authority and
the establishment of a foreign power on
this continent
That is the Monroe Doctrine as it was
illustrated in 1866, when the head of our
victorious columns was turned toward
the Rio Grande.
We claim, also, that it is our right and
duty to extend our friendly offices to

the court were proclaimed from the
bench without giving the reasons. The
parties and the public could readily
obtain the reasons if desired.
In cases of great public interest
the opinions might properly be read at
length, but such causes are comparatively
rare in times of peace. by disseminating
this practice at least half day in each
week would be saved for the ordinary
business of the court There are only
five working days each week, one day
being necessary for consultations, In
term of nine months the reading of opin-
ions would consume about three weeks.
By adoption ofthe above suggestions
over four months in time could be gained.
The court now convencs in the middle of
October and adjourns about the mid
die of April, and takes a recess during
the month of February. BY relieving
the judges from circuit duty the court
could sit from the middle of Sep
TENDER until the middle of June,
thus giving term of nine instead of six
months. The abolition of the twentieth
rule would amount to gain1f say three
weeks, and to this add three weeks more
for the time to be gained by the system
of handing down" instead of reading
opinions
1t is to be hoped that the present long
session will not end without the adoption
of some measure which will relieve the
Supreme Judges of present unreasonable
demands upon their capacity for work,
and at the same time relieve litigants
from the denial of justice which is caused
by the impossibility of reaching their
cases under the present system.

Roscoe COnkling,

The nomination of Mr.. Conkling to the
Supreme bench will call forth from friends
and from all respectable foes only words
of approval. His spotless integrity, his
unsurpassed natural gifts, his great learn
ing, his capacity for work, his dignity of
character, and his national fame make
his appointment one which the country
will unanimously pronounce eminently
fit to be made. There is not now
and there has never been an Ameri-
can of whom his countrymen are more
Justly proud than they are of Mr.. Conk-
ling. He was criticised for opposing the
removal Of Collector Merritt of New York
city in 1881 without cause in the
midst of an official term, as he was criti-
cised also for opposing the removal of
Merritt's predecessor in 1878 under like
circumstances. He has been denounced
for resigning an office, and mathematical
by the same men for being voted for to
return to the Office they censured him
for leaving. He is hated by the vile,
misunderstood by many, respected and
honored by all. We do not credit the re-
port that vile language was used concern
ing him in the Senate upon the motion
to confirm without reference. We print
it of necessity, because it was sent by the
Associated Press last night to all parts of
the country. 1t is a reflection upon the
Senator whose name is mentioned as
having uttered the foul words which his
past career does not justify, We shall
look to see an authoritative disavowal of
the atrocious utterance by the Senator to
whom the report ascribes it.

Miss Virginia Brooks, who few seasons ago mp.
peared in leading roles at the most brilliant enter
tainments given by the Amaranthe and other
noted amateur societies Of New York aud Brook
Ign, has been missing from the world OF amateur
dom for two years, and about tho same time she
entirely withdrew from society. She had delighted
thousands in both comedy and tragedy, her last
appearance being as Desdemond at the Union
League Theatre, and only her intimate friends
knew what had become of her. 1t turns out that,
finally determined to devote her life TO the drama,
and resolved to begin at the right end she at that
time entered Augustin Days regular company
and has been playing Mt his theatre ever since,
though i'll such small parts and generally so effect
ually disguised by "make-ups" rs TO be- unrecog
nizable. Her patient plodding seems to have hud
its reward, however, for she is now leading lady
in Days Passing Regiment" Company, now on
the road, and the press everywhere is enthusiastic
in her praise. II all young ladies who have been
successful as amateurs had the patience, energy,
and industry to begin at the A. D. q of professional
work aud labor upward step by step, instead OF
trying to blossom in one night into stars" 1t
would be better for the drama aud far better for Its
patrons. The example OF Miss Brooks is TO be
commended and it Is to be hoped that her pres
ent success will induce others TO follow 1t or stay
of the stage altogether.-FUm a NclO Fork Letter.
