DIVISION AND ADMISSION

Dakota's claims are bound to re.
ceive considerable attention ut the
hands of the next congress. Neither
party in that body can afford longer
to ignore the rights of our territory.
Any further attempts to smother the
question will merit the condemnation
of all lovers of justice and equal rights,
to whatever party they may belong.
President Cleveland is reported to
have expressed himself as favorable
to the division of the Territory and
the admission of the southern half.
Whether he said SO or not the opinion
is gaining ground that congress will
feel in honor bound to take favorable
action in the premises.
Could all parties and sections in
Dakota have been united, us it is UNI
questionably their interest to be, in
working for the division of the Terri
tory and the admission of the Southern
half, u much greater influence could
have been brought to bear on
congress than we can now hope for
with the divided sentiment that exists
on the subject. And why should there
he divided sentiment on the subject!
There is no reason for it that has any
relation to the interests of the people
in general, north or south. A few
Democratic politicians would prefer to
see the territory remain rs it is, in the
hope of securing certain federal ap.
pointments that they are laying their
wires for. The people of Bismarck
with a few outside pec,miarly inter.
esred in that city would like to see the
Territory admitted rs one state, with
Bismarck as the capital, at least, SC
long rs it has Il show of retaining the
prize. However sincere and plausible
some of the reasons may appear that
are urged against the division of tile
Territory, the real reason may be
found in the personal ambitions and
schemes that hold together u few
political centres of influence. At the
bidding of a few Democratic bosses
in South Dakota, who are just now
engaged in an earnest struggle to
secure certain federal appointments,
the Democratic voters largely stayed
away from the polls OH election day.
This narrowly partisan action Of the
Democrats of South Dakota, simply
impairs the force of a sturdy, intclli.
gent appeal to congress for the re.
cognition of a people whose numbers,
wealth and intelligence are an indis.
putable guarantee of their right to
the position of statehood which they
would assume. 1t is to be hoped that
President Cleveland is statesman
enough to see that his party cannot
afford to listen to a few of its blind
followers in Dakota who ;,ntagonize
division and admission, but that lie
will give these questions a hearty and
fitting endorsement in his forthcoming
message.

The return of the steamer Alert,
after visiting the observing stations
on Hudson straits, has been made the
occasion of considerable fresh dis
cussion in regard to the practicability
of the Hudson Bay route. Montreal,
Chicago and st. Paul papers naturally
see the dark side of the project. All
positive information so far. however,
is OH the affirmative side of the
question. 1t is asceytained that the
straits are open for about four months
in the most unfavorable years, and for
Il much longer period other years. A
correspondent of the st. Johns, n. F.,
Gazette says: Had the Alert taken
the south shore, when she made her
second attempt to enter the straits,
she would have encountered no obsta.
cles whatever from ice. Before any
definite conclusions can be arrived ut,
the whole of the observations taken
will require to lie tabulated and com.
pared. One thing is clear-the expe.
dition has been well organized and
carried out in Il manner that reflects
the highest credit OH all concerned,
and especially OH the able commander.
Lieutenant Gordon. The right method
has been taken to ascertain the possible
lity of opening route by Hudson's bay;
and when the present expedition is
completed there will be ample mater.
ials for solving the question con.
clusively, one way or the other. We
can only say that at present there is
nothing to discourage the hopes of
those who believe III the practicability
of establishing this. route

Much for Little.

In this age when the events of yester-
day in all parts of the world are found in
to-day's paper; tidings of a battle in
Egypt or China are flashed across seas
and laid at our door before its smoke is
dissipated, it is necessary for well-in-
formed people to have access to reliable
maps. Not all can afford the heavy
library aliases, and even they are often
found Enthusiastically unless new copy
is purchased as often rs revised.
lfy You want an atlas, small enough for
general use, full enough for nearly eve. y
purpose, critically accurate and up to
date. we recommend the new Handy
Atlas of the world, published by Messrs.
Ivison, Brakeman, Taylor & Co., 753 and
755 Broadway, New York, which is both
a credit to them and to the American
press. 1t is bound i'll flexible cloth,
contains So beautiful colored maps and
important statistics. Among its many
notable good things are maps showing
standard time, the railways of the United
States, recent polar expeditions, Central
Africa as explored by Stanley, the seat
of the Egyption war, Bible lands, and
our principal American cities. If your
bookseller does not have this excellent
work, send fifty cents direct to the pub
fishers and receive it by return mail.

A pENsIoN DECISION
That is Said to bo Creating DISQUALIFICATION
Eminently Proper and just.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 20.-The Pen
sion Bureau is in receipt of thousands OF
letters from all parts Of the country, indi-
eating the existence OF widespread but
erroneous impression that the recent de-
cision OF the Supreme Court in the case of
Mrs. Hattie A. Burnett va. The United
States, would bring about IN almost total
change in rates OF pensions allowed to
widows OF soldiers OF the late war.
The decision which was rendered by
Justice Harlan on the contrary sustains
the practice OF the Pension Office.
Mrs. Burnett's husband, General Ward
II. Burnett, was allowed a pension
OF $72 per month by epeCial act OF Con.
gress on account OF his totally helpless
condition due to wounds received during
the Mexican war. The widow WAS allowed
pension OF $50 in accordance with the
proposition OF the general law. She, how.
ever, appealed to the Court Of
Claims, claiming the same amount
per month that her husband had
received. That Court in it8 decision
used this language: "The widow be-
comes entitled TO pension, not neces.
phIlI4 NJ Luo oau4O IatO &c hCA AuSOaAA wac
entitled to, but the rats he would have
been entitled to II his claims were founded
upon what in tho pension law 10 technic
ally cslled total disability. The degree OF
disability by which his pension IVES rated
makes no difference with tho widows
right after death. All degrees OF disability
are considered by law as one and the
same to-wit: total disability and the rate
Of pension given to that grade becomes
the rate OF pension for thu widow. The
pension to living soldiers are graded &c.
cording to their respective incapacity to
perform manual labor. When the dis
ability is total, $50 = month ls given as
equivalent to pension OF $50 month,
the supposed equivalent for total disability
is therefore granted to the widow.
The edeCision OF the United States ST.
prems Court, which has been SO much
simply as before stated
atlirms the judgment Of the Court OF
Claims and the long established practices
Of the Pension Bureau, has thereby re-
ceived the sanction OF the highest tribunal
in the land.
