A Lick not AmisS,

The Grand Forks Plsindealer gives the
editorial kickers and statehood howlers
of South Dakota the following solid shot:
The Huronite of Huron suggests that
if another Fourth of July comes "before
Dakota is granted her just rights of self
government, that the day be spent in
holding indignation meetings, instead sf
celebrating farce, so far as the freedom
and equal rights of Dakota are concern
ed" That was what the Mormons of
Utah tried the last Fourth. Dakota suf-
fers more from her fool friends than from
outside apprehension. 1t is enough to
make people tired to read some of the
Dakota papers, and hear what time
"Dakota denied her rights "ground
under the iron heel of the oppressor,"
5000, 900 1isfranchised people," aud lot
more stuff. If some of these e itors
think they have been oppressed ard are
suffering for the want of statehood, they
can find plenty of states to 60 to and
need not bother themselves about it any
longer. If they are not satisfied with Da-
kota as they find her, quit aud go some
where else. The people as whole are
not suffering because Dakota is a terrific
ry, that IS the least of her troubles.
Everybody would probably like to see
her admitted as state, but as for get
ting indignant on the Fourth, holding a
constitutional convention and saying we
will 60 in any way, why 1t is the worst
kind of bosh. Well may Dakota say
"deliver me from my fool friends.

TEXAS people have way Of thinking
ahont as straight to the mark as they can
shoot. They rarely ever miss the button
they select on mans vest for target
fat enough TO dispense with the necessity
Of q funeral. A paper down on the coast
side OF she state has been thinking over
the status Of the national politics and
takes president Cleveland midships by
snggestlng to him that his independent
administration is out Of liuc viii, troli,.-,
csl practice, precedent and good policy.
1t shows that Ben. Butler, the great and
only representative Of independence in
politics, was defeated IN the last presi-
dental election, and that If the people
had desired an independent administra-
ton they would have electt d that rep'e-
sentative of the ilee. The theory o: the
Texas journal is not far wrong, but it is
at fault In the premises assumed, that :s,
in assuming party independence as the
policy Of the Cleveland administr, tion.
Every obscure locality IN the United
States seems to imagine that the success
of the administration in party sense de-
pends upon nu.turing it's democratic in
duence by federal appointments, even If
no more than IN turning a republican out
OF pOstoffice with q twelve dollar salary
ana putting democrat in, Investing him
with all the honor aud emoluments Of
the office. As there are about hnndl ed
Thousand such localities demanding the
attention Of the chief magistrate, in ad-
dition to the important affairs of the gov
ernmeDt, some Of these Insignificant post
Office struggles must necessarily be neg
lected, and these are the quarters from
which emanates the howl against the par
~ independence Of the administration
and threaten the democratic party with
snnihllation at the next election.
