The day is near at hand when we
shall have no territories, but all will
have become States. There is little
doubt that Dakota will be admitted
as soon Is its people stop their quar-
reling about dividing the territory.
The people of Dokota have outgrown
the territorial form of government,
and its great railroad and other in
terests require laws more compre-
hensive than a territorial Legislature
can pass Dakota's demand for ad.
mission into the union is reasonable
and should be granted but whether it
should be divided and admitted as
two States is a question which the
citizens of the territory themselves
are disputing about.

The PresidentioI Succession.

ONE of the important measures to
come before the present session of
Congress is that providing for sue.
cession in case the executive Office
shall become vacant. 1t is q little
singular that in the century of our
nations history there has been no
time when we have been without O
President or Vice President. Four
Presidents, Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln
and Garfield, have died in office, but
in each case there has been a Vice
President to succeed. So, too, five
Vice Presidents, Clinton, Gerry,
King, Wilson, and Hendricks, have
died in Office, but the President sur.
vived and no vacancy in that Office
occurred. 1t is true that Congress
has provided for the succession and
the calling Of q new election, but the
method is cumbersome and the issues
involved are too vast TO be treated in
the manner provided by law although
it may be safe enough in times of
peace. One trouble Congress has
with this subject is that the constitu-
ton does not give it the power TO do
anything except in lease of removal
death, resignation, or inability both
of the Precedent and vice President"
and in that event it can designate
who shall act until a new President
Is elected. 1t has been proposed TO
have the electoral college hold for
four years, so that a second Presi.
dent could be elected by It in case
of a vacancy, but this could not be
done without amending the constitu-
ton. Another scheme is TO elect
two Vice Presidents, one to preside
over the Senate and the other over
the house, but this is also ont ofpow-
er Of the people, not being permissi.
bic under the constitution. Mr..
Hoar's bill provides that, In case the
government loses its two chief xec
utive officers the Secretary Of State
shall succeed TO the Presidency which
would deprive the President bro
tempore Of the senate Of the right Of
succession as 0 provided by law.
In some respects this Law il better
than the n now in force, from the
fact that the party which elected the
President would not be deprived Of
the right Of administering the gov
eminent By the accident Of deatb,
which might take place under the
present law. Indeed, this is exactly
what would take place If the Office Of

The Iowa courts have made an
important decision regarding the civil
rights of colored people. A negro
who was refused admission TO a place
of amusement because of his color
appealed to the law, when the Circuit
Court held that it did not appear
from the averment that the plaintiff
had any legal right to enter the place
of amusement. The Supreme Court
affirmed this r%uleing and says: The
act complained of by the plaintiff
was the withdrawal by the defendant
as to him, of the otter which they
had made to admit him, or to con.
tract with him for admission. They
had the right to do this, as to him or
any other member of the public.
This right is not based upon the fact
that he belongs to a particular race,
but arises from the consideration that
neither he nor any other perse could
demand as a right, under the law
that the privilege of entering the
place be accorded to him."
