DELAYING Admission.

In the Senate, the other day, the Demo
Gratis succeeded in defeating the resolu-
ton for the admission of the State OF
Dakota. The work was purely Demo-
cratic and performed through political
motives entirely. Should Dakota be
admitted to the galaxy of States, the
Democrats had foresight enough to
know that her Senators and Representa-
tives would be elected by a Republican
majority, and thus make the chances of
Democratic supremacy in the Senate
that much less. In "off years" the
Democrats occasionally succeed in Sc
curing majority in the House of Rep
resentatives, but fail to capture the
Senate. The present Congress comes
so near being Democratic in both
branches, that the party are strongly
opposed to giving the opposition any
opportunities to increase their strength.
Thlsis the main and only cause of Demo-
cratic opposition to the admission of
Dakota. There can be no objection to
the population of the territory asking
for admission. There can be no obiec-
ton to the wealth of the territory neither
can there be any objection to the edu-
cational status of the inhabitants; vet,
the Democrats will not vote for admis-
sion, and the reason is so plainly obvious
that all can see through the shabby &C
tons of the Democratic Senators. Such
proceedings will come back on the
Democratic party, and, instead of being
of value to their cause, will act against
them in the future. The people of Da-
kota will have no love for the party that
keeps them out of the Union, and in the
hereafter will remember the treatment
they have received at the hands of the
Democratic party.

Democratic Campaign Promises.

The defeat of the Morrison bill will
defeat the Democratic Party in the
election for President in November, and
very justly, too, for the people will
agree that party which is false to its
pledges on the tariff question will be
equally as false to its promises to in
augurate economy, retrenchment, hon
esty, and reform i'll the administration
of the Government. The rural De-
moclacy, the honest yeomandry of the
plains, the hills, and hollows, who are
taxed on all they wear aud much of
what they eat to protect rich man.
ufacturing monopolies, expect and will
be satisfied with nothing less than
plain, upright, downright honesty of
the men they have elected to Congress
pledged to tariff reform. The Demo-
cratic majority in the Honse of Rep
resentatives is pledged to do certain
thing-to reform an unjust protective
tariff-and it cannot go back ON its
pledges without bringing certain and
inevitable defeat in the November cleo
tons. The men who were lifted into
office by the tidal wave last fall must
be true to their pledges and vote for
the Morrison bill. If the present Con-
gress adjourns without tariff reform,
the people will never again trust the
Democratic party, which before every
election is prolific in promises, but ut
terly void of performances. -Meanphis

The testimony given by Mr.. George
Bliss to the Springer committee is in
teresting, and it covers a great deal of
ground. The alleged treachery of the
lawers originally employed, and efforts
made by the Secretary of the Navy in
behalf of his friend Spencer, the mex
plicable excape of the Hon. w. 2. KEEL
logg from the clutches of three Grand
Juries, and other incidents in the long
history of the so-called prosecution of
the star route king, have been served
up in an entertaining way by the witness
1t is possible, however, that his MEM
DRY may be at fault with reference to
some of the many details of which he
has spoken. Mr.. Bliss seems to have
stated to the committee that as soon as
he heard that the proceedings before
the first Grand Jury in the Price case
were unsatisfactory to Mr.. Walsh and
his friends, because Mr.. Kellogg
had not been indicted, he thought that
the jury should be reconvened, and ex-
pressed his thought to Judge Wylie in
personal appeal. Perhaps Mr.. Mer-
rick will tell the committee whether OF
not it was in response to Mr.. Bliss
own suggestion OF demand that this
appeal was made, and just how it hap
pened that Mr. Walsh was given an
opportunity to testify again before the
Grand Jury, and was Immediately af.
terward called to testify in the impend-
ing trial.

They Were Careful.

Snodgers is thrifty man, and knows the value of money. He also endeavors to instill the appreciation of the worth of this useful commodity into the minds of his boys, of which possessions he has two. Snodgers lives out of town, and last Friday, after the boys had put in day of hard work in helping him do the spring "cleaning-up" about the house and yard, he told them that they might have the horse and buggy the next day, and go by themselves on pleasure trip to Boston. Accordingly, on Saturday morning, the horse was "hitched up,' Mrs. Snodgers slowed a luncheon under the seat, and the elated boys prepared to set off. Then to them came the paternal Snodgers, who put his hand into his pocket, and said :: "Now, boys, you will want some pocket money"- a suggestion at which the youths visibly brightened-"s so here is five cents apiece for you. You take it, and spend it as you like, and have a good time, but very mpressively-"d don't make hogs of yourselves p' It is believed that the boys carefully lived up to this adjura- tion.

TO MAKE ANOTHER STRIKE.
The TeleRrnphers' Brotherhood Said to be Preparing for Another Fight with the Western Reinstatement of n Promi- nent Photographer.

A report has gained currency that the operators employed by the Western Union Telegraph Company are prepar- ing to strike again next June, in order to obtain a concession in full of the de- mands which they unsuceessfully con- tended for last summer. For the pur- pose of definitely ascertaining whether such movement was contemplated, a reporter called upon gentleman who Is still connected with the Telegraphers' Brotherhood, and who was one of the most prominent leaders in the great strike of last year.
 He made the following statement with the stipulation that his name should not be published When the great strike ended unsuccessfully it had the effect of greatly demoralizing our organ ization. Hundreds of our members left and were only too glad to proclaim them selves outside the Telegraphers' Brother hood in order to obtain employment. The rank and file of the organization were greatly discouraged, and the ob- iect of making another strike to obtain our demands was considered out of the question for a time. Ever since the col lapse of the strike the building up of the organization again has been going on night and day. So effectively has this been done that the organization is now very nearly as strong in membership as when it engaged in the great strike. Many defects in the organization have been remedied, and new measures adopted. A marked feature of the next strike will be that the union will depend upon it's own resources for the mainte- nance of the movement and not make the mistake of relying entirely for support on outside organizations. For that pur- pose we have been building up strike fund, which is steadily increasing. About two weeks ago, when we found ourselves strong again, it was decided to inaugu- rate another strike in order to enforce our demands, As to what exact time the strike will take place am not prepared to state, although it may be said that it will occur some time in June. In the meantime we shall use vigorous efforts to increase the membership of our organ ization, and to add to our strike fund. At given signal nine-tenths of the oper- ators employed by the Western Union Telegraph Company throughout the country will stop work, and you can rest assured that we shall make a much better fight this time than might be ex- pected."
 It is rumored that the strike will take place in the first week in June, when the Republican Convention is in session at Dhieaoo

Newly Planted Orchards.

As one of the sufferers through igno- rance in my earlier horticultural life, l often desire to caution theJyoung plant CT to avoid the errors that beset my path. Our work is by no means fin ished when the trees are set; that is only the beginning of the task So many trees are irreparably injured by allow ing the wire nursery labels to remain on, that it is an open question whether it would not be best to send out trees destitute of names. The moment tree is set, the wire should come oAf, and the narne be recorded in book kept for that purpose, by far the safest and best method of labelling. Every tree should always be staked for the first year or two, for if not killed at once by swaying about, it's vitality is greatly injured. Therefore start correctly by stalking the tree in perfectly upright position, and avoid the unsightly specimens too often seen in old orchards. Keep the soil thoroughly cultivated up to the tree, and avoid barking them by wrapping the traces and end of the whiffletree with baggipg. Never omit trimming in the trees earliest years; bearing in mind that the removal of a small twig does no harm, but if allowed to grow unre- strained until large, the result of cutting will be injurious. A little wood ash, ground bone, and good compost scat tered over the surface of the soil be- meath each tree, will do wonders in the way of accelerating growth.

The Marshall Statue.

It is half a century lacking year since the movement was started to erect in Washington a monument to commence rate the services of Chief Justice Mar shall. The memorial has taken the form of statue by Story, which was lately unveiled with appropriate cere- monies. Hereafter visitors to the na- tional capital may view the striking fea- lures of the great Chief Justice, but not all will realize how original and unique is his title to the honor now paid him. It is not simply because he was a profound lawyer or a great judge, but because of his achievements in a field of public service which, when he entered it, was as new as it was important, He became Chief Justice when, for the first time in modern history at least, the fundamental law of a nation had been embodied in a written constitution, and hence when, for the first time, judicial tribunal was called upon to expound such an instrument. The science of constitutional interpretation then had its origin, and Marshall WAS its founder. Without the aid of guiding authority or precedent he laid the foundation or which the body of our constitutional law as since iudicially developed has beer built up. The work of Marshall, there fore, differs from that of any other judge, American or foreign, for the req son that he was the great pioneer in 6 new department of judicial labor. Hi
 greatness lies in the extent, the import
 ance and the success of his services il l this field.

A HEROIC NEGRO.
For Gratitude He Periled His Life.
From the Eufala, Ala, Times.l

From the Eufala, Ala, Times.l
 The circumstances of one most heroic and romantic deed connected with the late Everin gham disaster was related to us. After the boat had been banked and roster of the crew was called, As sistant Pilot Wingate did not answer.
 "Where is Wingate?" some one shouted.
 "Asleep, in his berth" was the an- swer.
 By this time the supports of the upper deck were being eaten rapidly away, and the flames circled round and round over the hurricane deck, licking the glass of the state room doors, to disappear now and anon through the black curls of dense and stifing smoke, then again to streak the black sky like the livid pulse of destruction that it was, and then to soar away and vanish into the oblivion of heat to scar the invisible atoms of the air.
 It was in the midst of this panorama of horror that a black form was seen rushing toward Wingate's berth and i'm pending death. A surge, crash and door gave way, and Wirgate and his rescuer, through ways left free by Prov idence, escaped in safety to the shore. This negro, on hearing that Pilot Win gate was in his state room, banished all fear of his own safety to rescue him, which was done in return for the saving of his own life by Wingate when the ''Wylly" went to pieces against the Fort Gains bridge last April. He was going under for the third time when Wingate snatched him from his grave
 This was gratitude, and a heroism squalled by no instance in the calami tous records of many and many day and deserves a monument in marble.
