Gratis that they were being cheated. II

BILL" he said. Mr.. Hilary A. Herbert of
Alabama, hilariously remarked that he
knew no bill was humbug, but that
he should vote for it, because, as he
said. the republicans shall get ahead of
me in condemniDg his own methods"
There were few more short speeches,
and then vote came to relieve the i'm
patience of the democrats. who believed
that the quickest way to stop the ever
lasting bowling of the Eatonians was to
give them what they wanted and pass
on to matters of practical Importance.
Republican spoilsmen and democratic
humorists united in helping Mr.. Cox in
getting civil service reform out of the
way. James Bueephalns Belford, the red
headed eagle of the Rocky Mountains,
voted for the bill. Julius Caesar Bnr.
rows voted for it, with grin on the
seamy side Of his flank countenance
Samuel Sullivan Cox voted for it,
chuckling iuwardly. Tom Reed voted
for it, looking more like William Shake
speare than ever. Even Secor Robeson's
vote helped to hasten the era of purer
politics. The Pendleton bill passed the
house by an overwhelming majority.
So Mr.. Cox had his little joke, and the
democratic party is now enjoying it.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Sunset Cox Charged with the Respon

Sunset Cox Charged with the Respon-
sibility of the PendIeton Bill.
New York Sun.
We submit the historical fact that the
name of the man who really fastened
the civil service reform policy upon the
democratic party is Samuel Sullivan
Cox, author of "Why We Laugh"
When Dorman B. Eaton's masterpiece,
III the shape of senate bill No. 1873, the
so.caIled Pendleton bill, reached the
house IN December, 1882, Mr. Cox gave
1t the benefit of his lronical support
The measure seems to have appealed
irreslstlbly to his sense of the ludiclous.
There had been a good deal of banter in
the lobbies and in the restaurant and
lounging rooms between republican and
democratic members Of the house.
The bill was IN republican hands; Mr.
kasson had charge of 1t. The re-
publlcans had dared the democrats to
come out openly in support of the meas
ure. Mr.. Cox, who was Just then very
much interested in the shipping bill,
which he regarded as of vastly greater
Importance to the country than the
Pendleton bill, and who wanted to get
the civil service reform nonsense out of
the way as soon as possible, accepted the
challenge in spirit of purlesque
bravado, and moved for the passage of
the Pendleton bill without debate. The
Congressional Record tells the story.
MIR. Cox-I believe it is the opinion
of the majority of this house that the
shipping bill is of far moro Importance
than even the civil service reform bill.
Now, I propose in good faith to my
friend from Iowa Mr.. Kasson] ]. inasmuch
as there has already been an extended
debate on this bill in the senate, that we
now forego the debate in the house, aud
at once put the Pendleton bill on its
passage. Applause
"Many members, on both sides of the
house. That is night. Vote! Vete!l

'Mr. Cox-I make the proposition to
my friend from Iowa to put the Pendle-
ton bill on its passage now without

"Mr. CoA-Let the bill be read, and
let us have vote on it to-day, with q

bills OF Importance.

gentlemen have arisen on the other side

Several members-Yes. yes.

The Sioux Falls Press produces an
array of figures which demonstrates the
fact that the cost of running one large
state government is much greater than
tie cost of running two states of moder-
ate dimensions. It recites:
Take the states of Texas, California
and Oregon for instance, whose areas
are onparable with what Dakota would
have as whole-14S,O 600 square miles.
Texas has 262, 900 square miles. and an
assessed valuation Of 322,O00,0O0, Oh
which there is levie d for state purposes
six and one-half mills. California has
$4,000 square miles and an assessed
valuation of 1854, 100000, on
which there is levied for state purposes
five and one-half mills. Oregon has $4,000
square miles, and an assessed valuation
of $52. 100000, on which there is levied
for state purposes eight and three. quar-
ters mills. Let us take now some of the
states comparable in size with what
southern Dakota would be after division
of the territory on the forty-sixth
parallel. Iowa has $4,000 square miles,
and her levy for state purposes is two
mills and one tenth. Wisconsin, has 54,-
600 square miles, with levy of one mill.
This showing could be carried on
through the list.
And it should be remembered that in
the years of the future, south Da-
kota with its varied industries and its
capabilities for mixed farming, will be.
come the tax producing section of Da,
kota and will be called upon to pay
much more than its proportion of the
public revenue. When the exclusive
wheat lands of the north are deteriorat.
ed by continued groupings with the
single product it is capable of growing
their valuation will decrease and the
northern revenue yield will grow less
and less until finally the south will be
called upon to shoulder the burden OF
governmental existence.

Colonel Lounsberry, who is in Wash
ngton, writes to the Bismarck Journal: !:


The subject of Dakota's admission and
better understood than ever before. As
are they are proven by the records in
department, by the internal reve-
nue and postal receipts, and by the en-
try of public lands There is anxiety
among the trae friends of Dakota as
to the course our people will take on
the diyision question. Such men as
Copger, Mcmillan and Harrison, who
have favored division under all circum-
stances and will not now consent to the
admission of Dakota undivided, tremble
lest in our anxiety to gain statehood we
may fall into the trap set for us. and for
the sake of gaining year or two of time
yield to the pressure and leave them no
ground to stand upon in their fight for
division. They believe that the interests
of both sections of Dakota demand di-
vision; that the interest of the northwest
and of the middle states demand it on
account of the increased senatorial pow
or it will give them. Their interests are
above party interest and their purpose
is the equalization of sectional power.
SO far as the south is concerned Sena-
tors Conger, MCMILLAN and Harrison
need have no fears. Our people have
had their eye on the trap these many
years and are not liable to put their foot
into it. They have no desire to go into
condition which will place them per-
petually under the control of the North
ern Pacific corporation and deprive
them of participation in the manage
ment of their own affairs. A territorial
condition is preferable. The Northern
Pacific cannot gain control of all onr
imported officials, whereas, through its
influence and money, it would be able
to dictate the election OF officers of the
state and of course own them afterwards.
If the honorable senators will stand
firmly by the division idea they will find
themselves sustained on Dakota soil to
the extent of an absolute refusal at the
polls to accept single statehood. This
is the determination of stalwart south
Dakota and it is shared by majority OF
the residents of north Dakota. We are
fighting it out on the old line and will
stay there If it takes a generation OF
| time,

W. 81. Lyon, the man with hobby, is
airing himself before the constitutional
convention. His proposition is to sub
NIT important legislation to vote of
the people after the legislature has act
ed upon it. The convention committee
will probably give him respectful
hearing and dismiss him with it's bene-
diction. The plan is ancient, cumber-
some and altogether cut of date.
