The 42d annual statement of The Mu-
tual Lite Insurance company of New York
printed in another column, like all the re.
ports that have preceded it, shows the
continued prosperity and growth of this
corporation under the actiye and conserva-
tive management of President f. s. Wins
ton 1t is now, as it has been for many
years, the largest and strongest life insur-
ance company in the world Its assets
are$lO3, ,S76, ,27s.5 81, surplus over $l2, ,000,-
900, amount of policies in force over $780,
100000, income over $l9,000,O00, and
amount paid to policy holders last year
$l3,923,0 ,062, equal to over SAG, 900 every
business day in the year. In fact, each
succeeding statement gives an additional
proof of what prudence, wisdom and expe-
rience can achieve in the management of a
vast institution which has no equal in the
world.

The territorial legislature is busily en-
gagged in grinding out bills of a minor ma
ture, although occasionally there are
measures introduced that SAVIOR of more
important legislation than the routine
work Of passing local bills. AS yet the
governor has failed to exercise his veto
power, and in this matter at least the sea
Of friendship between the legislature and
the governor is unruff1ed. This is the
first time in great many years in which
disgraceful feeling of contention has not
been engendered between these two func-
tions and for this blessing the people have
cause to feel thankful. Councilman HUI
etson's action on the capitol removal mat
ter has caused great deal Of comment,
and in one or two instances there has been
some dirt thrown at Lincoln county on ac-
count of his move The people of this
county fell that rebukal OF such an act
as that Of two years should not be done in
manner that would in the future require
another rebukal of to-day's actions, and
therefore think that permanent location
at Pierre would have been an unwise
movement. Lincoln county favors capt.
tol removal, but not through any scheme
that might prove as disastrously unpopu-
lar as that of two years.

There seems to be lack Of knowledge
or effort in the management of the world s
fair at New Orleans, and the exposition is
in condition where even the coming
mardi gras blowout cannot save the thing
from the odium of mismanagement. 1t
seems remarkably strange that such a
mammoth undertaking as worlds fair
should drift along day after day in such a
loose and slovenly manner, and the peo-
pie Of New Orleans and the south may
we'll fell ashamed OF this gross carelessness
on the part of the managers. The Da-
kota display still retains the lead in the
matter of northwestern exhibits, and the
people of this territory feel proud that
their star cannot be dimmed through any
failure Of other features.

1t would be well for the legislature to
make some provision for the organization
of home militia companies throughout
the territory, this feature in Dakota being
way behind the balance Of the advanced
factors of our growth. We find that
there are s3,779 organized militia in
the United States and 6,5SO,5O6 men
available for military duty. This is a
mighty fine collection of raw material
which in case Of emergency could be drill
ed into a powerful army, and Dakota
would hate dreadfully to be behind in the
matter of militia organization should their
services be needed. The militia appropri-
alton need not reach very great amount,
and the legislature should look into the
matter

The official figures recently published
show that during the month Of December
this country exported $40, $500 Of
merchandise and products in excess of the
total imports for the same time. It is al
so shown thai in the last six months of
1884 there was balance of $lOS, 1918, 9S9
in favor of the United States. In Novem-
ber and December the balance for this
side of the water was $S2, $50, 900 or about
four fifths of the whole. This shows that
tie tendency of trade is in the right d.
rection, and is an auspicious indication.
The nation is making money when it can
sell in single month nearly $5O,O00,0O0
of products more than it buys.

past twenty-four years is too great to
admit of any immediate or decided change
is its unrufiled course, and will thus feel
content to let we'll enough alone. They
feel that an efficient instructor has map
ped out course for their action. and that
a reversal Of that regime might prove as
disastrous to themselves as to the people
at large. There is no just cause for lack
of confidence or for feeling of uncertain
ty as to the future course of the democra-
cy. There will be no change, no free trade
or no southern claims. There may be at
tempts made to secure changes, but they
will be unsuccessful Let them quarrel
and wrangle; the rope is long enough
to satisfy their cravings, and in the end
their development of a mania for change
will come to an actual realization-suicide.

IN SEASON.
The Erect of a Word spoken I'm Sea-

A word spoken in due season often
has its ready reward. Walking into q
saloon where man was just about
tossing off a schooner of lager, friend
of temperance stepped up to the bar
and laying his hand on the mans arm,
said: my friend, do you know that
you are putting an enemy into your
mouth to steal away your brainsp" The
beer-bibber looked at the friend of
temperance in stupid wonder as he ex-
claimed: "What's-yergivn'sp" '.Not
only is beer an intoxicant," continued
the t. of t., "but it contains adulterants
hurtful to health. 1t is fruitful cause
of sickness and DEATH" The beer.
bibber deigned not word in reply to
this, but with scornful gesture raised
the glass to his lips. In another in
stance it would have been drained to
the bottom. The +. of t. made one
more appeal know you not" he
said, ''that the beer is 95 per cent. wa
ter?" The glass came down with a
crash on the marble bar, and was shiv-
cred to atoms, the beer which it had
contained flowing in an unnoticed
stream upon the floor. "Great Cesar!'
cried the beer-bibber, "why didn't you
say that the first thingP" And he
wiped the beady perspiration from his
brow as he added: Stranger, but
that was mighty narrer escape.

ODonavan Rosa, the great Irish agi-
tator who has become monomaniac on
the subject of Ireland's expressions, was
shot and quite dangerously wounded on
the streets of New York last Monday af-
ternoon. The assassin who attempted
Rossa's life was woman by the name of
Yzeult Dudley, who has as yet ascribed no
cause or compassion for the deed. The
occurrence naturally caused much excite
ment throughout the United States, and
at Irish headquarters the interest noted
in his immediate recovery was marked
and genuine.

In the matter of the modification Of the
exemption laws THE ADVOCATE believes
that horizontal cut us at present contem-
plated would prove not only intensly un-
popular but decidedly disadvantagous to
our people. During these times of early
development it is best to leave the ex-
emptions at high water mark, and re-
cede from that condition as the country ad-
vances. There is no radical demand for
change, either from the capitalists or the
farmers, and the legislature should leave
the matter severely alone until the ques-
ton has been made an issue before the
people for whom the laws are made.

ion and admission to forward the matter
in all possible ways and by all possible
means. There should be no objections
raised upon the grounds of the matter be-
ing premature, because it is not prema-
ture. The step will have been taken only
after the exhaustion of every species Of
argumentative facts and adducive statis
tical testimony, and after the members OF
congress had cast aside reason and assum-
ed unalloyed unfairness. With almost a
burdensome preponderance ofoverwhelm-
ing right at our back. with everything es
sential and necessary for statehood, con-
gress has deemed it advisable to establish
an emblazoned precedent of inequality,
and it now behooves the people of Dakota
to resort to the last extreme, constitu-
tional convention. Let it be harmonious
and at the same time decisive. Do every
thing that is considered right and proper
without oversteDping the boundaries OF
propriety and legality, and if the democ-
racy still persist in nursing this diabolical
mania of inequality the people of Dakota
will not be at fault. By all means favor
a constitutional convention.

The Yankton Herald has received a
private letter from Maris Taylor, who
heads the Dakota democratic delegation
at Washington. He ssys that the senti-
ment is universal among democratic mem
bers of congress that the territories shall
no longer be afflicted with carpet-baggers,
but be permitted to select their own ofic-
lals, subject of course, to the approval of
the president. In regarn to division the
letter is silent, from which we infer that
the outlook is not favorable. Messrs. Day
and Taylor visited Mr.. Cleveland at AL
bany this week to ascertain his views in re-
gard to home appointments, but as yet
the result of their mission is unknown.

Capt. P. II. Pratt, superintendent of the
Indian Industrial school at Carlisle, Pa,

which has been referred to the Inaugural
ton committee, saying that he can bring
200 young Sioux and their Indian band to
march in the line should it be thought
worth while. ''This can be DONE he
says, without cost to the committee, as

The Dakota legislature has taken the
division and admission matter under con-
sideration, prepared memorial to congress
asking for division, and called constitu-
tional convention to be held this fall.
The convention bill is for the purpose of
enabling the people of that part Of Dako-
ia south of the forty-sixth parallel to Or
ganize and form state into the Union of
states. A delegate convention is hereby
called to meet at the city of Sioux Falls in
the county of Minnehaha in said territory
of Dakota, on Tuesday the goth day Of
September, A. D. 1885, at twelve o'clock
meridian, for the purpose of framing
constitution, republican in form, and per-
forming all other things essential to pre-
paration of the territory for making ap-
plication to the general government for
the admission of such part of Dakota into
the Union of states. The bill further pro-
vides that the convention shall consist of
Ill delegates, to be chosen at special
election, to be held September l, and any
counties to be organized after the passage
Of the act to be entitled to one delegate.
It is altogether probable that the bill will
pass, and there is no reason why objec-
tions should be made. That Dakota should
become state, and that immediatly, is
admitted by all fair minded men. Con-
gress very decidedly refuses to grant equal
ity of justice to our people, and very nat
urally we will have to exercise unusual ex-
ertions to secure that same equality. This
can be furthered only through the uDan-
imous and expressed will Of a constitu-
tional convention, and the legislature will
doubtless grant legal right for making
such an organization valid. The conven-
tion will be constructed from delegates
south Of the forty sixth parallel. In the
advent Of the passage Of this bill by both
houses It will incur the duty on IL inter-
ested citizens Of Dakota who favor divis-

Four weeks from next Saturday will
mark an epoch in the history of American
politics, and what the next four years will
bring forth in the political line none can
tell. Historical precedent informs us that
the advent Of a new party in power marks
the introduction of some rev policy, or at
least partial overthrow Of old theories
and the substitution Of new. In the cleo
ton of Cleveland new precedent is es-
tablished. An acknowledged statesman is
cast aside for the introduction Of a nonen-
tity, well-defned plans and theories being
exchanged for experimental trials. This
is certainly true if we look only on the sur
face of affairs. The democrats talked
change" The have advanced no issue
and decided upon no plan of action. conse-
quently have no defined plan upon which
to base the government of their admins
tration We are thus brought face to
face with the fact that shall they persist
in carrying out what they claimed as their
issue, 'schange," we must undergo an
unsettled condition Of experimental action
on the part of the party in power. But
in order to see light ahead we must delve
below the surface Of this cry, and can then
find no fear. The only radical change the
democrats dare make will be the substitu-
ton of democratic officials for republican,
and on this score the American people may
rest content that the great issues of the
democracy have been carried out. They
dare not introduce free trade, dare not
overthrow the national banking system,
dare not molest the silver or currency
question, nor do they wish to modify or
repeal any Of the great beneficiary move
lnents that have been successfully estab-
lished by the republican party. The lead
ers and even the rank and file Of the de-
mocracy feel that the least change tout
side Of firing republican officials, they
! make the better. They feel that the su-
periority Of republican government the
