THE JOB 10 MAKE A NEW STATE.

The minority of the House Committee
on Territories has reported adversely to
the admission of Dakota as State, giving
strong reasons for its opposition. They
are that the Territory has not population
enough to be now made into State that
its development generally is not sufficiently
far advanced, and that the farmers of Da-
keta, who make up the chief part of its in
habitants, instead of favoring are strongly
against the proposition.
All this is undoubtedly true. A senti
menJ in favor of making a State out of a
portion of the Territory, which would be
divided for the purpose, has been manu-
featured in Dakota by politicians, whose
selfish ends would be served by the change
Petitions asking for admission have been
got up and sent to Washington to furnish
the Republican majority with an excuse
for creating the new State. But evidences
of any widespread demand for the proposed
action are lacking. sfOf those who appeared
at Washington In behalf of the admission
of Dakota" says the minority report, but
one was an agriculturist." The farmers
distrust the project because they have had
good reason to distrust the men who
launched it.
Speculation in land has been carried on
In Dakota on an extensive scale. The lands
of presumption and homesteads have come
inIo the hands of greedy crew of specu
1ators, who have bought up their
patents at low rates Com
pared with present values, and
who expect to profit out of the Subdivision
of the territory and the change OF part OF
it into q state They have acquired peliti-
cal influence. and are able to make far
more noise than the quiet settlers who are
engaged in tilling the soil.
One of the projects of these spectators

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
RESTITUTION.

The Chicago Times is of the opinion
that Senator Blair is not so blameless
an individual as Shipherd would make him
out to be. It puts the case after this fash
ion: THE C.epe1and Leader is of the opin-
ion that Senator Blair, of New Hamp-
shire, though so frequently mentioned in
connection with Shepherds Peruvian
schemes, has undoubtedly acted in a
thoroughly honorable and straightforward
manner from the first. According to Ship
herds testimony. the Senator has carefully
avoided the least approach to jobbery or
dishonesty He returned the money If
he earned it honestly, he would have re-
tanned it, presumably. Anticipating an IN
vestigation, he aet go of it, and now, &C
cording to The Leader, The acted in
honorable and straightforward
from the first" That's the way
they all act The Credit Mobilier states

Thus, also, with the freedmen's bureau

So, too, with the District of Columbia
rascals. Each of them, according to a
party press, was acting from
the first in thoroughly honorable and
straightforward manner. With the party
press at their back, they all get beau
tiful certificates of good moral character.

ROYAL PENSIONS.

Prince Leopold. son of Queen Vic
toria, is soon to be married, and in consid
Grafton of his approaching fate, the House
of Commons has voted him an additional
annuity of $4,000. 1t has been figured
that when the gross sum expended from
the exchequer for the benefit of the royal
family of Britain is considered, the allow
ance just made to Prince Leopold is q mere
bagatelle. Majesty herself has an allow
ance of 81, 925, 600 per annum, from which
she has to discharge good many claims,
but the surplus carefully invested and
augmented, has been sufficient to make
her probably the richest woman in the
world. The prince of Wales has an an
nuity of $500, 900, and his wife adds $780,
600; the crown princess of Prussia has
$40. 600; the duke of Edinburgh, 1926, 900;
the Princess Helena, $50. 900; the Princess
Louise, $50, 600; the duke of Connaught,
1895, 900. As duke of Albany Leopold
now receives $4,000. The grant just
made will increase his income to that of
the other dukes, making "demnition
total to the royal youngsters of over
$500, 900. This makes pretty expensive
brood, and the sum win be further increas-
ed as Wales children attain majority and
develop the Hanoverian appetite for spoils.
However, England doesn't mind, as wit
ness the eomplaisance with which these
grants are made, and, if England can stand

is the right man for the place. Mr.. Mott
win undoubtedly roll up good majority.
The fourth ward presents curious state
of affairs. The present alderman and re-
publican candidate, while he claims on the
one hand that he was an opponent Of War
rem, on the other desires to be considered a
good republican and in consequence
is in a dilemma. There are repub-
licans in the ward who were OPP.
posed to his nomination because
he voted against Warren; there were others
who fought him for exactly contrary
reason. The entirety of the matter is that
it is an impossibility to state exactly where
Mr.. Whitman belongs. You can never put
your finger upon him.
In accordance with this it will be well
to state that many men, who know Mr.
Whitman well, win tell you he is demo-
crat At all events he is an uncertain
quantity. His opponent, Mr.. Johnston. is
as far removed from this description as
can well he. He is man of clear head
and cultivated powers, who is both honest
and upright in his private life, but has out
spoken convictions upon all points and
acts in accordance with those convictions.
He is one of the best qcalified men for the
place obtainable and If elected will prove
a wise selection. He is watchful and
observant, and the cities interest would be
safe in his hands. He is good selection.
The entire democratic ticket was nom
mated with the sole idea that good men
must be chosen. The result proves that
that intention was carried out to the letter;
and thus too as regards township officers
also. The entire ticket merits earnest sup

OUR CITY POLITICS.

The ball has now opened and for the
next few days politics in Rock Island viii
run high. 1t is favorable sign that the
best citizens of our city are taking the in.
terest in the matter that they are, and from
this interest is to be expected beneficial
results. The entire city has been awaken
ed to the laxity and worse than careless
ness of our present administration, and the
determination is everywhere expressed to
put in power only such men as would in
augurate an entirely new order Of affairs.
This determination the democracy has rec
ognized and respected, showing by its
nominations that it both desires good gov
eminent and intends, so far as 1t has pow
er. to promote it.
In accordance with this intention in the
Second ward has been nominated man in
whom all men have the greatest conf
dence; man recognized as able and con-
seientious, and not only fitted for the work
but desirsus of performing it uprightly
and for the best interests of the city. He
has opposed to him on the republican side,
q man who is thoroughly in harmony with
Carse and who will act and vote in favor
Of that clique, if elected. The national
candidate, Lawyer Bennett, Is a man
20 well known as the property of an
other that he scarce deserves
and il honest in his opinion
he lacks ability to carry them out So far
IS he himself is concerned he is q nonentity
and only arises above that condition when
De is acting as the tool and mouthpiece OF
his master.
In the third ward matters are very SIM
Pile. Mr.. Mott, the democratic candidate,
represents the best sentiments Of the city
and is certainly deserving of the enthusiast
tic support he is receiving. He is man
20 well known and SO favorably so that
any special words of commentator are I'M
necessary. He is recognised as the sdvo-
cate of wise and honest government and
that joined to the fact that his opponent is
.he champion of Warren and the Bisnark

convince all candid men that the candidate
