The Sioux CITY journal saws. Dakota

The SiouNC City journal says: Dakota
raeans 5Q'.ifN peorle. the overflow OF
the energy. brain, thrift. ambition and
endurance of the older states and king
doms-boo,cD people who have plowed
up The prairies and made prosperous
farms and homes; who have built
schoolhouses, churches, cities and rail-
roads, and who have not only laid in
,teep-basea solldity the foundations OF
q great state. a state in the true sense
ct the term, if not in thetXternal name.
Dakota has this year raise 25.0UO,0OO
bushels Of wheat. and corn imlneasura-
hle- Dakota has 1850 miles Of railroad
and is building more, and every CAR is
busy aud viii be kept busy carrying
the wheat and corn and stock produced
on its broad acres, and iii carrying
thldher The supplies purchased there
with. Taxable property TO the extent
OF &iWa,u0O,0N is not a uad thing to
have around; it is just what Dakota
has iii visible assets upon fractional
valuation, why doesn't somebody have
a spasm overthe prospects OF Delaware
with lis little 2,OD square miles Of sand
bank real estate? or about Rhode Is
land. With its little truck patch Of $50
square miles? Neither Delaware nor
Rhode Island, nor both pat together,
would much more than make a respect
able County in Dakota. Take the states
Of Delaware, Rhode Island and Neya-
da, and All together they have less pop
ulation than the territor. Of Dakota.
The ten representatives which these
states have i'll congress don't prevent
the food OF Immigration from pouring
into Da'sota rcg 3atract ore tota from
. its vast mineral and agricultural re-
sources. What will Dakota do if not
5 admitted assa state or as Two states?
Dakota viii keep right on increasing
e in population, in wealth and in every
: element of greatness. An empire in
e itself already, it will broaden and
!, strengthen into q still greater empire.
\ few months or a few years, more or
e less. according. to the inevitable pro-
cession OF events. will bring Dakota, as
one or more states into the union, and
sonn fine morning those who have pre-
d ~verscly refuseliustice to this great and
