The Dallas (Texas) Herald is
alarmed by the selection of Chicago as
the place for holding the Democratic
convention. 1t regards it as an indi.
cation that money is to rule in the sci.
ection of cadidate and says: If the
Democracy is intending to enter this
fall upon "hurrah" and "bar'l" cam
paign simply or chiefly, they must ex.
pect to continue to sit under the shadow
for another four years. Distrust, lack
of confidence in their rising power,
and general disgust at the incapacity
and idiOcy of the leaders is the char
acteristic of the Democratic poet this
year.

Those that voted on the question at

either did not know the import of the

or Of the "don't care a darn" class,
who would have expressed their APP

the constitution defeated. Our con-
temporaries can rest assured that blank
ballots don't count either way, neither
do they express the sentiment of the

clared and presented to Congress for

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

In this issue of the ARGUS will be
be found the last annual message Of
his excellency, Chester A. Arthur,
While 1t may not equal in brilliancy
the productions of some of his pre-
decesSors it is considered an able
presentation of the condition of gov
ernmental affairs, with some wholesome
advice as to future legislation. He
compliments the country for its pa
tience and patriotism during the period
of doubt and uncertainty connected
with the recent presidential election.
Considerable space is given to foreign
affairs, with suggestions regarding the
extension of our foreign trade. He
recommends the discontinuance of the
coinage of silver dollars; says that in
compliance with the act of Feb. 28th.
1878, o than twenty-seven million
silver dollars have been coined an
nually, and the number outstand-
ing is reported by the secretary to be
nearly one hundred and eighty-hve
million, whereof but little more than
forty million, or less than 81 per cent.
are in actual circulation. He urges
the restoration of the navy, has some
thing to say of the Arctic expedition,
and recommends the passage of the
bill now pending in the house of rep
r~esentatives, for the purchase of a
district of 1900 square miles from
The Sioux reservation. In regard to
Utah the President is brief but desper-
ltely in earnest. He closes his mes
age with a liberal dose of "taffy" for
he friendly relations that have existed
between the legislative and executive
branches of the government. The
Message is not lengthy and is well
worth of perusal by our readers.

On u first page will be found
the greater portion of an able edito-
rial from the Pioneer Press, entitled
'Justice for the Territories" A great
many have becn laboring under the
impression, no doubt, that there are a
multiplicity of requirements of a ter
ritory before it can be admitted as a
state; that a certain number of inhab-
ltants r necessary, hat intelligence
or wealth was a basis for claims to
statehood, This article plainly shows
that u territorial condition is an
unnatural one. The writer says: "Not
only was it not intended that this svs-
tenn should be permanent, but it was
not intended by any just mar that it
should be continued a moment beyond
the time when there was reasonable
evidence that the people of a territory
were equal in point of numbers, of
intelligence and of devotion to free
institutions to take upon themselves
the cares and duties of statehood"
1t IS evident that the only barrier to
the admission of Dakota and Mon
tana as states, is the opposition of
political demagogues in both parties,
men who cannot rise above party in
~terests long enough to do justice to
over half a million of people. How
long we shall have to await their pleas
ure, no n knows, but it is liable to
be several years.

Called to Judgment.

The following quaint and CURIOUS
endorsement has been found on the
back of a ticket voted at Barnwell,
South Carolina:
"Grover Cleveland, stand mp. A jury
of your countrymen have found you
guilty of designing and conspiring with
divers Democrats to become president
of the United States, to the great harm
and personal injury of over 100000
loyal office-holders of the republic.
And more: You have caused anger,
hatred, i'll will, curses and maledictions,
to spring up and live among the hith-
erto united Republican family of this
country. Your advocates have defend
ded you with great zeal and ability.
Indeed, such great zeal and ability has
never before been known in the history
of presidential campaigns in these
United States. AS the jury, however,
have recommended you to mercy, |
make your sentence as lenient as the
law allows. 1t is: That you, Grover
Cleveland, be confined Mt hard labor
within the walls of the White House, in
the city of Washington, District of Co
lumbia, for four long years from the
fourth of March, next. And may the
Lord have mercy on your soul Bring
in Tom Hendricks"

Though the official vote of the ter
ritory, as approved by the board OF
~canvassers, has not as yet, been pub
ished, it is known that the consti-
tuition has been adopted by a large
majority of all votes cast on the ques-
ton. The plea is now being made by
a few journals-notably the Husband
man-that, inasmuchas a majority of all
votes cast are not represented on the
question of adoption or rejection of
the constitution, It is defeated. By
what mode Of reasoning this conclusion
Is reached, is beyond our conception.
The sixth ordinance, accompanying
the constitution, as furnished the voters
last fall, in pamphlet form, says as
plainly as words can that "if, when all
the votes foy or against tie ADOPTION on
the constitution have been canvassed.

has been adopted by a majority of the

SWEPT INTO THE STREAM.
One Thousand Acres of Land and
."Right Smart of Bears"

On the deck of a big Mississippi
steamboat stood an aged Southern
planter. Indicating by a sweep Of his
arm the waters the boat was passing
over, he said to a passenger from the
north : when / was twelve years old
1 killed my first bear on a new planta-
ton my father was then cutting out of
Il forest that grew directly over the
waters of this bend. That was a mighty
good plantation, and there was right
smart of bears there, too. But that
one thousand acres Of land went into
the Mississippi years ago"
1t is putting no strain upon the fg-
ure to say that great forests of youth
full hope, womanly beauty and manly
strength are swept in the same way
e year into the great turbid tor
rent of disease and death. Yet it
should not he so. That it is 81 is u dis
grace as well as a loss. People are
largely 100 Careless VI 100 Stuplu W uc-
fend their own interests-the most
precious OF which is health. That
gone, all is gone. Disease is simple,
but to recklessness or ignorance the
the simplest things might as well be
complex as a proposition in comic sec
tons. As the huge Western rivers,
which so often flood the cities along
their shores, arise in a few mountain
springs, SO all our ailments can be
traced to impure blool and a small
group of disordered organs.
The most effective and inclusive
remedy for disease is Parker's Tonic.
1t goes to the sources Of p.in and
weakness. In response to its action,
the liver, kidneys, stomach and heart
begin their work afresb, and disease is
driven out. The tonic is not, hOwev-
or an intOxicant, but cures o desire FIR
