Harrisburg Patriot

IaVUTV
The Philadelphia Press has at last been
smoked out by the Washington REPUBLICAN, aud
Assistant Postmaster General EIatton. In yes.
terdays issue the Press indulges in several COL
umns OF confession and avoidance which when
sihed for facs show simply that the editor of the
Press did induce ex-Postmaster General James to
put on the early newspaper train from Philadel-
phia to Harrisburg at a large additional expense
to the government. OF course the unselfsh edto
had this done simply and solely to accommodate
the public.

The consolidation of the Dakota and
Nebraska revenue districts doubtless oc-
Cured only because Dakota is territory
and has no voice at the seat of general
government in behalf of its own rights
and privileges. This conclusion is inev-
liable when one glances over the figures.
The report of the commissioner of inter.
nal revenue shows that during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1883, the
receipts from the Dakota district
amounted to Sse,s745s. For the same
period the following states returned less
revenue than the territory of Dakota:
Maine. S72,s93. 80; Mississippi, sec, ,479.64;
Nevada, S40,s70.72; Vermont, SAG, ,O62.27.
The revenue Of other territories was
Arizona. S40,007.72: Idaho, $35 5,O79Ss;
Montana. S75.542sl; New Mexico, $54,.
037.46; Utah, s53,895.ls; Washington
SIS, 9,2O7 .54; Wyoming, sl7,434.54. These
figures show that Dakota stands a,
the head of the :, list O.
territories and ahead o.
several of the old settled states in the
amount of revenue contributed to the
support of the general government. II
is clear case of extensive taxation
without any representation, which was
the prime cause of the original revolu.
ton. The revenue receipts of Dakota
are growing with rapidity unexampled
in any of the statee, which is an add.
tional reason for permitting the dis
trict to remain at it is was. In the
consolidation with Nebraska the sen,ol
collector of the two districts was re-
legated to private life and the JUNO,
collector retained as the head of the con
solidated district. This occurred becaus,
the senior collector represented terri
tory and the Junior collector state
The collector of the old district of Da
kota is acknowledged by the department
over its official signature to have beer
one Of the most competent and reliable
collectors in the service, the department
taking frequent occasion to compliment
him upon his efficiency. But, unfortu
nately, he lives in territory and terri
tory possesses no rights which the gen
eral government is bound to respect.

We believe that the strong foundations

scientific instruction in the reasons why
such drinks should not be used by the
individual; (3) legal prohibition of their
manufacture and sale; az the ballot for
woman az weapon of defense against
the saloon.
We are unalterably opposed to license
either "high" or low, and to the unholy
alliance by which license money is used
for school purposes in this territory.

We hereby establish the following de.
pattments of work, by means of which
the principles herein stated may be car.

The flower which blooms to-day, and
