uJSsTATEMEyTs SOMEWHERE.

The Erening Post accuses Senator Sherman
of making a dishonest statement OF lacVS
respecting Mr.. Roach's assignment. Having
brought this serious charge against one OF the
best known men in public life, it ought 10
have been exceedingly wary in dealing WIN
the subject; but since discretion is q virtue
which it holds in contempt, it not only 1ai's W
convict him of single misstatement, Dut
places itself on record as wilfuliy misrepre-
eenting the facts at issue. The following
massage contains three distinct misstatements'
n, The Assignment Of Mr. Roach he ascribes to the
action of tho Government, which Is creditor Oh 'ho

and liabilities, a creditor independently OF any cla'Ii
asserted by the Attorney General ~ Mr. Roach iacu

cruisers and not account Of them t3) Yet Mr. oe'
man has the hardihoe1 to say that the Administrator
forced Roach to stop his works. thus causLg io0S "
employment TO thousands OF workmen
/. The Government is not a creditor OF Tue
firm. and does not stand IA such III the
schedule of assets and liabilities In the
schedules as published in THE TRIBUNE on
August G. the claims of the firm against the
Government appear rs assets and not as llaDu-
tiles, and amount to 5000. 1923 %.
9 The schedules show that the work on the
cruisers remaining unfinished will cost
S111. sol "a less than the balances still due
on the contracts.
3. Senator Sherman told the truth when lie
said that the Administration forced Mr. Roach
TO stop his works and to throw his men ont OIL
employment. The Acknowledgement in his
opinion advising the rejection of the Dolphin
had pronounced tho contract invalid ana
affirmed that the builder was liable for every
dollar that he had received. The same clauses
which in his Judgment rendered that contract
null and void were in the contracts for the
cruisers. Hence all the contracts were virtually
condemned and the builder was mcnaced with
legal proceedings for the recovery of over
81. 1000. 900. That was the precise cause OF the
failure
The Erening Post has felt at liberty to make
great many wild statements ABOUT Mr. Roach 5
business affairs. since its remarkable exhibition
a few weeks ago in rctractlng some OF the most
malicious and ignorant of its calumnies WITHIN
twenty-four hours. Since nobody can accurately
forecast how soon il will reverse its Judgment
and correct its own misstatements on this sub
icct ordinarily II is not worth while to point
ont its errors. But TIE hardihood with which II
charges an honorcd statesman with making DIS
honest statements when the lumber Is all in It's
own eye has deserved recognition.

The exports Of cotton were very small In July,
amounting to only 100000 pounds, against
90, 1000, 100 pounds in the month OF 1884. This IS
presumably due to the stagnatiOn in trade and
manufacture abroad. and to the fact that previous
shipments have abundantly supplied the foreign
demand. Thus, Notwithstanding the known de-
crease in production Of cotton goods the ex-
ports Of raw cotton from this country for eleven
months ending with July were only 100000
pounds smaller than in the previous year. and in
value only $1,400,O0O less. The crop year will
end In few days and 1t is probable that the exports
for the entire year will not differ greatly in quantity
or value from those Of the previous year.

WHAT OHIO COSTS DEMOCRATS.


A Democratic dispatch from Ohio lets out the
information that the campaign expenses OF 'i"'
party last year amounted to $2oO,ooo or inolo'
There is great feeling, it seems, because hiuch
of the money distributed for campaign pur-
poses ent into the hands OF prominent ineih-
hers of the committee, and does not appear 10
have gone any further. The sum distributed
was so large as TO afford abundant proof That
corrupt campaign was intended. Inc Deho
crafts meant to carry the State by bribery ana
fraud. if they could. The result was however
that the people did not appear to be Tor sale'
and did not consent to be swIndled out Oh their
nights. The meditated frauds were In
measure stopped by the aid of United states
officials. The bribe-money was largely aD-
sorbed by the so-called "werkers." Hence
there is net encouragement to put up much
money for another campaign OF the same SORT
Indeed. an eminent De nocrat at Washington
cvnically remarks that Governor loadiy was
not nominated with any expectation or hope
that he would win. Ii WAS the feeling oil
prominent Democrats, he says, that the Admin
istration and the Legislature had discraced the
party, and could not be defended ana tna' II
was rs well to let the burden OF defending both
fall upon the men who were responsible LOT tue
misdeeds and the disgrace. A great many
Democrats. he thinks, will ego a-tishng or
vote the Prohibition ticket, and many VIII take
occasion TO avenge themselves on Hoadly and
his more Jealous supporters OF the liquor IN
terest for their conduct in the past
If would not be WELL however to take II for
granted that the Democratic efforts this year
are likely to be weak or inefficient. Governor
HaadIy has come East, it is reported, Tor the
purpose of arranging for supplies of money.
He has too many rich friends to be easily de-
feated for lack of little cash. The Admins
tration evidently means toad him as Tar rs II
can and II has miliOnaires at its beck. Hence
there is no telling what sum of money Cover
nor Hoadly and his friends may command Tor
another contest. But the Democrats will be
obliged TO pour out vast sum to satisfy the
hungry workers of the party, and unless the
supplies are very large indeed, they will prove
inadequate for the necessary expenses oil thc
campaign. The Republicans would not need
large supplies if there were no danger OF fraud
in the cities. They will need resources Tar more
to guard against the rascalites which the recent
legislation for the control of cities was IN
tended to facilitate than for any other purpose
whatever Moreover, they have one important
advantage: the majority of the people are OPP
posed, not only to Governor lloadlys aCmlnis-
tration and the corrupt Democratic Legislature
and its work, but to the Democratic National
Administration as well, and to its policy, so far
as it can be said TO have a policy.

THE COMING STATES.

There is no reason to expect that the next
Congress will consent to admit Dakota, or
either portion OF that Territory, as state.
There Is no decent ground for opposing the
admission, it is true. Even The Nelc- York
Herald admits that there can be little doubt
that both North and South Dakota have popu-
lation enough to entite each to admission as
n State There is no question as to the wishes
of the people. They are anxious to enjoy the
advantages and to exercise the share OF power
in the government Of the country which State
organization would give. Nor is there any
difference between them as to the desire for
division Of the Territory. 1t Is naturally
divided already, and communication between
either part of the Territory and The other part
would be more dii1cult, and would cost longer
time, than between the Capital of Minnesota
and either part of Dakota Territory. What
then ia there to Justify refusal OF the applica-
ton which is to be made by the people of the
Territory
They have taken acensus in Dakota this year,
which shows a population exceeding 100000 in
the whole Territory; about 10000, enough
for one member of Congress, being in that part
of the Territory which desires separate admis-
hlOH lis NOIIu DdhDisi1 anu dbouN NONtNNN ~
South Dakota, nearly or quite enough to entitle
that part to two members OF Congress. at first
there was a disposition to distrust the census.
But the recent enumeration of inhabitants In
Iowa and Minnesota, as The Herald justly states,
shows such rapid increase in that part OF the
country that it is unreasonable to suppose that
The Ggires given for Dakota are exaggerated.
far stronger evidence Of the rapid growth of
the Territory may be found in the records Of the
Land Office, and in the sales of land by railroad
companies. Reckoning only the increase in
farming population, from the acreage OF land
taken up for farming purposes, there is little
room to doubt that the population is much more
than enough to justify the admission of two
separate States Nor can it be said, rs to
Dakota that the population is of shifting and
uncertain character, and likely to decrease in
the future. With or without admission as
State at this time, Dakota will before long have
more power in Congress than several of the
States which formed the original Union.
The opposition to admission will spring from
one motive though it may have several pre-
texts. The motive will be the desire of the
Democratic party not to permit any increase of
the probable Republican electoral vote until
some corresponding increase of the Democratic
electoral vote can also be secured. Among the
pretexls likely to be offered may be enumerated
the objection that many of the inhabitants are
of foreign birth and recent immigrants; that q
portion are miners, and that the increase of
political power in the Far West is already too
rapid. But there is no sense in either or MI of
these objections. The people who have moved
TO Dakota have come in large proportion from
the older Northern States Most OF them have
already exercised the right of suffrage in other
