GARLAND'S PROPOSITION.

We notice In the Congressional
Record that when the question of
the admis ion of Dakota was being
discussed in the Senate, Mr.. Garland
proposed that it be submitted to the
sense and suffrage OF the people. 1t
is so fair. so just and so practical a
settlement Of the controversy that
really it should have been accepted
without a di senting voice.
Mr.. Garland's bill provides for the
election Of delegates to a territorial
convention, to be held at Yankton,
in August next. for the formation of
a constitution and state government,
and for the submission Of the consti-
tuition thus framed to a vote of the
people in the usual way. 1t also pro
vides that at the election, on the
adoption or rejection Of tie constitu-
ton, there shall be submitted the
further question Of a division of the
territory on such lines as the conven-
ton shall have previously ordained.
This places the responsibility for
the future of Dakota where it rightly
belongs. If congress cannot afford
to comply with the sentiment of the
people on a question so directly con-
corning them and thus lawfully K
pressed, why should it he expected to
comply with the demands of a horde
Of hungry politicians who represent
nothing and nobody but themselve S?
Here is a proposition made to admit
the territory on q fair basis, and it
should have been accepted. Mon
tana adopted a constitution before
she asks for admission. Dakota
should do the same.

About Contributions.

After the present Civil-Service Commits
sion was appointed Judge Thoman, Dem
ocrat, and the peculiar representative OF
Senator Pendleton, tho putative father
of the law, said, in published interview,
that there was nothing in the law to pre-
vent the Democrats, in the event Of olecting
President, from turning out Of Office every
clerk and employe now in tho service. This
is sufficient warning, it would seem, to those
who are in as to what the outs propose do.
ing, providing their party wins in tho pend
ing Presidential contest The legal barrier
thought to be presented by the Civil-Ser-
vice law will be found weaker than rope
of sand before the onward and inward rush
of the hungry and thirsty Democracy.
1t is simple folly to expect Grover Cleve-
land, if elected, to be able to withstand his
party in so vital matter, even If he had
the inclination. And he has done nothing
to show that he would have the remotest
inclination to set himself against his party.
His fight against Tammany was not in the
interest of anything or anybody save him
self. He opposed Tammany to gain the
County Democracy, expecting the County
Democracy to nominate him for tho Presi-
dency. 1t was done by the worst and most
fragrant of machine methods. To expect
such man to observe the limits of law
so little liked by his own party is utter
folly.
Tho moral of all this is that the clerks
and employees who are in and want to stay
in must do their share toward insuring the
success of the party which put them in and
which alone will keep them in. They arc
not doing their share by simply talking
and voting for Blaine and Logan. Thou
sands Of patriotic men all over this land are
doing and will do those things, and they
neither hold nor expect to hold Office. He
is poor party man who, deriving his sup
port from an office conferred upon him by
his party, refuses to contribute money fol
its support.
We do not believe in bulldozing clerks
and employees into contributing, but we dc
believe that their self.respect should com
pei them to contribute of their own free
will. Many have already done go. But
many are yet derelict. They should hesi
tate no longer. On their action the cam
paign may depend. Delay is dangerous
Refusal may be fatal.
Let there be neither on the part of thost
most nearly and directly interested.

sizing Up tho Situation.

The New York star, tho organ Of Tam
many, in lengthy review of tho political
situation, as seen in the light of the Ohio
election, seems to think there is not much
show for the election of Cleveland and
winds up with the following omlnous sem
fences:
II anybody imaginos that the Democratic
party is going 10 have walkover In this State
he is sadly miscalculating the discipline, re-
sources and temper OF the rival organization.
Blaine's forces como out OF Ohio flushed with
their hard-won triumph, confident and aggres-
siye. Money is flowing into their Golfers and
the promised Republican bolt melts away like
u bar OF lead in n furnace. Everybody is looking
TO New York. II the Democrats here show
united, earnest front thoy will inspire their
colleagues In other States with hopefulnoss
and enthusiasm. II, on tho other hand, New
York, In city or In State, is rent by revival Of
former dissensions then tho efrect Will be to
dampen the ardor OF and 70 discourage the
bulk OF the party In tho other doubtful States.
That the Democratic situation justifes
such language no one who has closely read
the papers of both sides will deny. . Tho
current of public sentiment in favor of
Blaine and Logan grows stronger with each
succeeding day, and it will overwhelm all
opposition that can now bc arrayed against
them. And in speaking as it does the Star
does its Democratic friends real service,
for If they heed its warning they will not
throw away their money on reckless
wagers. If they do not heed its warnings
they will only have themselves to blamo if
they foolishly burn their fingers.

HERE is a little straw" from the recent
election in Cincinnati which shows whether
the Irisb.Americans are leaving the Free
Trade Bourbons or not. Two hundred Irish
American citizens were handling tickets
all day at the polls last Tuesday. They all
wore plain green ribbon, but no other
badge or insignia, and absolutely refused
to receive one penny for their labors. They
organized for themselves and asked no
favors of anybody. Such re-enforcemonts
are Of immense significance just now.

North Carolina. Again.

Nothing could be more absurd than the
clam OF some OF our Republican contem-
poraries that North Carolina is a doubtful
State. The truth Is that YORK's canvass
seems to be resolving itself into farce,
and that II SCALES did not follow him on
his stumping tour lie would seldom have a
decent crowd TO speak to. The Republican
party OF the State is masquerading under
the title OF the "Liberal party" but the
cloven foot OF the revenue ring sticks out
on all occasions. The Raleigh Ne,oS and
Observer contemptuously declares "that
the Liberal party Of North Carolina is not
worth noticing" and in support Of this
declaration adds:
every citizen, however ignorant, knows
that the contest in this State is just now be-
tween the Democrats and the revenue OIL
garcby, which has the late Republican
party completely under its thumb.
The Democrats seek maintenance
Of honest government, low taxes,
the extension OF educational advantages,
and the material progress these bring.
The revenuers desire return TO
the carpet-bag system OF administering
public affairs, which means official plumber
and political corruption OF every variety.
The people have already decided between
the alternatives, and their decision will be
expressed next November in the choice Of
the Democratic ticket by an overwhelming
majority"
The revenue spies aud informers must
not only so from State politics, but it Is
only question of time when they must go
altogether.
