Speaking of the fragrant crime being
committed by the democratic congress In
keeping Dakota disfranchised, the Chica'
go Tribune says.
When the next congress meets the peo,
pie of Dakota should again present then
claim and demand their rights, and the
republicans in congress should make it an
issue and not cease its agitation until it is
admitted. Let its people not merely re-
quest but demand its admission to all the
rights and duties of state. Its voting
citizens, composed of the most honest, So
Der and industrious people in the whole
country, number 100000 men, who
have moved there from New York, New
England and the western states OF these
10000 at least are republicans, and had
Dakota been allowed to vote, Blaine
would have carried the state by more tnan
10000 maj ority.
We protest, on one point. Blaines ma.
jority in Dakota would have been 10000.

looking up matter for woman suffrage his

to include woman among the voters, and
the one opposing vote was cast by Judge
Moody, who is now in favor Of the meas

into power the country would suffer
and our industrial interests would be
crushed. The Republicans retain power
and to-day tho workmen are suffering for

Mr.. Hensel continued to discuss tho
platform item by item, showing that the
Republicans had opposed tho establish.
WAS finally passed by Democratic House.
While proclaiming themselves in favor Of
tho protection Of American citizens
abroad, Blaine while secretary Of state
had permitted American citizens to
languish in foreign prisons. While
pretending to look upon the public
lands rs "heritage of tho people, y they
had given millions of acres to railroad
monopolies, and when Democratic House
OF Representatives passed bill TO recover
a portion Of these unearned lands, the
Republican Senate defeated 1t. In their
platform they demand "a restoration OF our
navy" whom it was themselves that de-
stroyed it sf00, 600 900 had been appropri.
ated for the navy since tho war, and yet
We have no navy, Iron steamers have
been built at cost o: mil
lions OF dollars, and even before
they have been flushed they have
been broken up for old iron and sold to
John Roach for fow thousands, and even
| thea that patriotic gentleman charged the
| government more for storage than no paid
for the iron! Their platform proposes re-
form within the party lines, whilo their
candidate for president never advocated a
single measure of reform, but always lent
himself to the corrupt lobbyists. After
exposing the thefts of tho Star Route and
whisky rings, Mr. Hensel drew vivid
contrast between tho official actions
OF the Democratic and Republican candi-
dates, the one ever on tho side of right and
honest administration, tue other ever
intriguing to make money by the use OF
his official influenza. Mr.. Heusel CON.
c!uded his address BY reviewing the politi.
cal situation and giving assurance that the
Democratic skies were bright and a
Demooratio victory certain. For every
Patrick Ford We lose, We gain dozen
men like Carl SohuIz and Geo. VIM.

Ohio, Michigan or Wisconsin, though
all these Republican states are now doubt
ful, but in the great state of New York,
and there the victory will be won. Even
in Pennsylvania they may win, for there 1,

not receiving the names Of wavering or dis

remarks were frequently greeted with the
hsartiest applause, as were also those o
the two eloquent speakers who had
preceded him.

Mr.. VIM. II. Vanderbilt has again
unbosomed himself to reporter. Mr..
Vanderbilt says nothing of consequence
beyond declaring his opinion that we
have reached the 10 west ebb of business
depression, and that revival will come
soon. Mr.. VanderDilt's means OF judg-
ing OF this are no bstser than those of
anyone else, and his opinions are just as
likely as those of anyone else to be col
Ored by his interests. It seems, how.
eves, probable that he Is right in judg ing
that the business depression will not
grow worse |; but that matters will very
soon mend is not 80 clear. The dying
away OF business has been gradual, and
Its recovery is likely to be slow. There is
nothing to indicate any great increase in
business activity In tho immediate fu-
ture, but there is encouragement to be-
lieve that those who can accommodate
themselves to the present conditions can
continue their industries until the future
brings them better reward. A revival
OF trade is certain the only question ia

how strong tide.

Getting to be Fashionable

Another New Yorker has furnished
his coachman with wife from among
his daughters. MIR. Drake. Of the Pro-
duce Exchange, residing in the country
and keeping his family secluded, has had
a dauy yhter of the mature age OF thirty
supply herself with mate from the
limited material at hand, finding the
fine young fellow who drove the
horses just suited to her mind.
Naturally there is some alarm
among the rich men Of Gotham at this
new perquisite attaching to the position
of coachmen, Ultimately it will have
its advantage. however, in giving them
cheap coachmen and under the incen
tive before them, the coachmen will be
likely to advance in culture to meet the
demands of the matrimonial market
thrown open to them. Good looking and
well behaved young men ought to have
an advantage over i'll looking and coarse
fellows in seeking the favor Of the
daughters of the familyin which they are
hired to drive the horses. We may ex
pect to see this business advanced to the
rank OF a polite profession. A great
many nice young men take naturally to
horses, and drive coaches for their
amusement when they are rich.
There are coaching clubs in the
large cities, and every summer a
stage coach is driven in the suburbs Of
New York for hire by some Of the coach
ing club members. Rich young men,
finding that nice girls are to be had as a
reward for driving family coaches may
be induced to go into the business. And
poor young men who want to get rich,
and like to drive, have double incen
tive TO become rich mems coachmen,
when the rich men have a nice lot of
daughters pining in the country. Salary
need be no object to them, rs they get
their livery and boarding free. 1t is the
habit Of country landlords to pay their
hostlers no wages. the tips obtained from
the customers being sufficient compen,
sation. The same custom may be ex
pected to become general in hiring

marriageable girls TO reward The coach.
mems services with their hands and
their fathers dollars. Aud the fathers
will be benefited additionally by the
very handy way opened for the dis
position OF their daughters, when it be
comes thoroughly fashionable to marry
the coachman fashion which must
he expected, under the many strong in
ducements offered, to soon be strongly
established. All that Is needed for iii
success is nice young fellows for coach
men; and as there are plenty of nies
young fellows, and plenty of coachmen',

the disposal of daughters and tn,
diffusion of wealth seem to be happll,
