claims the democrats had no chance to
record themselves for or against the I'D.
mission Of Dakota. Wrong, Bro. Frost. A
motion to suspend the rules and consider
that proposition was lately defeated in
tho senate BY democratic votes, Vest and
Cockrell leading the opposition. The
reason Why the late republican congress
did not admit it was because Senator
Hale. Of Maine, turned traitor to his
party and his constituents and allied
himself to the democratic minority, and
without his vote or the vote of some
democratic senator the bill could not
pass. The democratic vote was not
forthcoming, therefore Dakota remained
ont Of the union. And what is still more,
We viii stay out until republican con.
gress 10 elected. These are facts and the
statements that the democrats are the
true friends Of admission won't hold
water.

Niagara (North Dakota) Times: The

table showing where the bulk Of north
Dakota's population lies, and overthrows
conclusively the idea that Bismarck is
the natural center of north Dakota, and
the proper place for the new capital. The
great bulk Of the people in this vicinity
think that the location Of the capital at
Bismarck was accomplished by trickery
aud fraud. and while our people are not

the capital at that place, they are unani.

commission fraud should receive justly

Mr.. Blaine is typically a man of
schemes. The revelation hasjust been
made at Hartford, Connecticut, the To-
cation of his book publishers, that he
has been playing n trick that is dark
for many months with great success,
and in which he has their able Chinese
assistance. This publishing firm has
had all through the land over $4,000
c~anvasaers, who subordinated the task
of obtaining subscriptions to the book
to that of eulogizing the political mer-
its of its author. When such a vast
army ofdisciples what chance has even
the 100000 office holders Of Arthur to
cope. Mr.. Blaine has originated n
plan that totally eclipses the heel tap
tactics of the recent Ohio canvass. 1t
is self-supporting from subscriptions
obtained. What success it has had in
its leading object will be manifested at
Chicago. w predict that it will be
so useful and novel a design as to
warrant a patent.

The Baltimore Sun says: The mp.

scriptions have been made in every
section ofthe State, and Virginia has
Joined hands with New England and
she North in the work Of extending
aid TO the suffering West. While
Virginia is thus proclaiming by. ac-
tions, wlich speak louder than words
that she is free from sectional ami
mostly, and that she feels for the
sufferers Of Ohio as If they were her
own children, Senator Sherman, Of
Ohio, is devoting al his energies to
waving his "bloody shirt" and en-
deavoring to create prejudice and
bitterness at the North against a
State which is holding out the hand
of sympathy and assistance to his
own people. Even Danville, which
he is trying to show was the seat Of
a bloody conspiracy against the col
ored voters, is sending heavy con-
tributions to the constituents Of the
Senator who is busily engaged in
maligning and aspersing her. The
generous sympathy shown by Vir-
ginia is not likely to make any i'm
preston upon Senator Sherman, but
the people of Ohio, it is to be hoped,
will remember it when Senator Sher-
man comes before them in the next
campaign with the "bloody shirt"
which he has endeavored to manu-
facture aud dive at Danville.

to pension rebel soldiers. The bill
was passed by a large majority, and
the Southern Congressman are high
ly gratified. They say that, while
their section was suffering from the
effects ofthe war, when ruined houses
had not been rebuilt, and when
broken fortunes and blasted lives
were more common than prosperity
and happiness, the Southern people,
through their agents in Congress,
have quietly voted to tax all they
possess, or might procure, in order to
surround the Union soldiers with the
comforts of life. This is true. The
Southern brigadiers' have always
voted in Congress for pensions and
arrearages for the Union veterans.
The labored articles sent out by
friends Of Mr.. Arthur, TO the effect
that he is virtuously lying back for
the people to reflect him without

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c..
March II. 1891

AScI'
1t is quite common in these days
for people to sigh over the degener-
acy Of modern politicians and to on.
trast the e%loquence and ability of the
men who served in Congress with
Webster and Calhoun and Clay with
the commonplace stupidity Of the
public man of to-day. l have no
doubt however, that the House of
Representatives of the Forty eighth
Congress will compare favorably in
point Of intelligence, and in point of
ability to show hat intelligence, to
the best advantage with any House
which has preceded it. 1t may be
this very fact which tends to make
the lower house cumbrous and un-
wieldy in the transaction Of public
business, because a man who can talk
well is apt to talk often and long re-
CARELESS of the fact that slime flies"
One great difference between the
Congress of to-day and that Of fifty
or more years ago is that the general
average of ability is greater and that
brilliant men shine out less ~conspicu-
ously. In the present Congress the
proportion Of members serving O first
term is unusually large, and the num-
Der of them who have proved them.
selves able to cope with their more
experienced colleagues surprisingly
So Among the new members who
have shown marked ability are
Adams, Of New York, came into
prominence by a fine speech on the
misunderstanding election case and
his connection with the committee
investigating Kiefer; and Broadhead
Of Missouri, who, though new in leg.
islative halls, has long been known as
a man Of recognized ability.
The California delegation compos-
ed with one exception entirely of new
and young men, is the strongest
which that State has ever sent. And
it is not a demagogical delegation,
which is something to say for Cali
fornia. Mr.. Finerty Is the only man
whom Illinois has sent for the fl, st
time who has made himself promi-
nent, and, though his objection to the
"Alert" resolution was q. piece of
petty spite, his earnest appeal for a
new navy shows that his spite has
something behind il stronger than
mere demagoguism. Thomas A.
Robertson, fresh from Kentucky.
seems to be of that indolent DISPOSE
ton which always characterizes
two men in that delegation, but,
Judging from some brief remarks he
made to the House, he might prove
a bad customer to trife with in dis.
cussion. One Of the best speeches
made against the Fitz John Porter
bill, was by Cutchen, Of Michigan.
and one OF the most rafting replies
thereto by Laird of Nebraska, both
being new members. Pennsylvania
sends many new members, who will,
no doubt, make a stir before they re.
Mr.. Elliott, the member at
is one of the youngest members
Of the House, but he has already tax

and brilliant orator. Ray, of
