DAKOTA STILL KNOCKING.
Logan Asserts the Opposition Is He.
cause of More Republican
Electoral Votes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. SIN the Senate at
2 o'clock the Dakota bill was placed be.
fore the Senate and Mr.. Logan took the
floor. He differed, materially, he said,
with the Senator from South Carolina
| (Butler) and the Senator from Missouri
(Vest) in regard to the question under
consideration. Fourteen States had been
admitted under the force of the "enabl-
ing" acts and eleven States without en-
abling acts. Congress was therefore free
to adopt either course, according to the
circumstances which in each case might
seem best adapted to the public good.
what was substantially the objection to
Dakota's admission? By reading para
graph from Buffers speech we might get
glimpse, or at least a shadow OF the
real objection. The meaning of the OBJ
Jection was that if Dakota were admitted
it would add three electoral votes to the
Republican strength at the next Presi-
dental election. He inquired of Mr..
Butler whether that was not the point.
Mr.. Butler denied it, and said he had
already declared that even if the political
complexion OF Dakota were Democratic
he would have felt obliged to oppose it's
admission under the present aspects of its
application.
Mr.. Logan said that when the Repub-
llcans wanted anything, the idea of the
Senator from South Carolina was that it
was wanted by "clique"
The attempt to keep out Dakota Mr..
Logan characterized as part of a great
scheme to keep out States that sent Re
publicans to Congress. He appealed to
the justice and magnanimity of the Sem
ators to give ear to the voice of the ener-
getic people who were applying for ad-
mission to the Union of States.
MIR. Morgan opposed the admission of |
Dakota under present conditions. He |
thought the Senate was asked to admit |
new States merely for the purpose of ad-
nitting office holders that had been sent
here. The patriotism that had been so
much referred to had in it strong flavor
Of self-interest.
Mr.. Harrison then took the floor and
gave notice that he would ask the Senate
to bring the bill to vote tomorrow.
The Senate then adjourned.

them they have exercised every right Of

them they have exercised every right o1
ownership, and this right has been
acquiesced in by all the neighbors and
other occupants of the quarter-section
The land comes into market and the oc-
cupiers of the quarter-section want to get
a Government title to their land. Any
one of them is perfectly competent to en-
ter the entire quarter-section, and SO
among themselves they agree that some
particular occupier shall enter the
quarter-section, each paying pro rata the
expense of such entry, and when he who
made the entry receives patent from
the Government, he gives deeds to those
who have been occupiers of the land
along with himself To one not ac-
quainted with the history of the whole
transaction it has the appearance of be-
ing tinctured with fraud. Doubtless there
have been genuine frauds committed, but
they are but small per cent. of the
whole number of entries of land.
There is also much talk about
railroad lands in the Territory and
of fraud in connection with them.
Congress may been unduly influenced in
making land grants to the Union Pacific
Railway and the Central Pacific Rail
way, but those roads hold their lands
along their route under as valid title as
the United States can give. 1t is quite
popular just at present to cry out about
land frauds, but land frauds are not
nearly so numerous as many think, and
special land agents are not nearly SO pro-
found as they are apt to consider them
selves. No doubt severer morality in
all branches Of public life would greatly
improve the administration of public
business, but notwithstanding all the
charges about corruption nowadays,
and virtue, in public as we'll as
n private life, are on the increase, and |
he nineteenth century is better than any
century which has preceded it.

OFF WRONG.

prominent business man hailed q
DEMOCRAT reporter this morning, and fell
to conversing with the reporter abou,
matters and things IN Utah. The gen.
tleman told the reporter that Mr.. Raw
lins, MIR. Young, the reporter, and all
those who thought as they did on the
Utah question were "off wrong.u This
may be, but the criticism which this gem
tleman made showed no particular depth
OF thought, no great grasp" of the
situation, for he merely said that
there were but two parties in
Utah, the loyal and the disloyal.
vi course he belongs to the loyal,
and it must be inferred that as the
gentlemen to whom he referred as being
"off wrong" do not see as he does they
must belong to the disloyal party. There
cannot be too much loyalty in citizen,
but citizen may protest his loyalty too
much. That is what is done in Utah
every day. Those to whom this gentle
man referred are in essence just as loyal
to the Government as the gentleman
himself. The test of loyalty is not the

OUT IN THE COLD.

At one time it was thought that Mr.
George Otto Trevelyan would be left out
in the cold in the formation of the new
Liberal Cabinet in England, but he has
not been. He is made Secretary for Ire
land, 3 position held by him before. If
his success in politics shall be equal to
his success in literature it will be great in
deed. His "Life and Letters of Macaulay"
is one of the most charming biographies
ever written, and it is rightfully given a
place alongside of Boswell's Johnson, a
biography that will forever stand pre-
eminent. Macaulay must have been a
most loveable man, one to know whom
was to love, but the beauty Of his char
acter and the lghtness and goodness OF
his heart would never have been SO well
known had it not been for the biography
of him by his nephew. Who can forget
the curse which Macaulay at the age
of four or five years pronounced upon
Sally? "Cursed be Sally, for it is
written, cursed be they that disturbed
their neighbors' land marks" Then how
delightfully."- Macaulay spoke of his death;
how well he would "cut up" and the like.
AS he spoke of how well he would "cut
up' he certainly could not have been
fresh from a reading of Job or the
Preacher Then what an appreciation of
humor Mr.. Trevelyan must have to
have inserted that story OF the American
publisher who wanted sketch of the
life of Lord Macaulay to prefix to his
edition OF the Essays, those masterpieces
OF English prose compositions. For some
years it was the fashion to speak of the
Essays as being most readable but as be-
ing without depth of thought. The
fashion was false because those who ut
tered such a hollow criticism failed to see
the beauty and depth OF thought that
were conveyed through an incomparably |
brilliant style. 1t is to the Essays and |
not to the History that we owe
the famous New Zealander illustra-
ton. On first reading of the
Essays that which holds the mind |
captive and spell-bound is the brilliancy
Of the style, but as the Essays are read
again and again they are appreciated for
heir true worth. Entertaining as the
Essays are, they are not more entertain
han Mr.. Trevelyan's biography of Mac
Iulay. Ii Mr.. Trevelyan had been left
'ut in the cold, how grateful the world
would have been, provided he had given
ne world another instalment of his un-
les letters, or had added another volume
0 his early Life of Charles James
OK" AS biographer he is without a
eer in England to-day, neither Mr.. Froude
or any of the writers of the English Men :
Letters series approaching him. He is
1e son of that sister whom Macaulay
wed so well, and whom he has taught
Il the world to love.

LAND FRAUDS IN UTAH.

just now there is considerable talk
about land frauds in Utah. This talk has
grown out of the reported, but denied
interview with Surveyor General De.
ment- Utah has a population of about
100000, and very great majority of this
number are engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. Any one familiar with the settle
ments in the Territory will readily un-
derstand upon what grounds the charge
Of fraud in entering the public lands is
founded. Those who live in the settle
ments have complied with the require
ments OF the laws as to residence on the
land they have entered, and have moved
into the settlements when such re-
quirements have been met. The land
which the settlers have entered they
have continued to hold and to till. and
from it they derive their livelihood.
although they have not continued to
reside upon it. They have not bought it
for speculative purposes, and they are
bona .fde settlers upon the land, but have
clustered their houses together in small
hamlets for the sake of society and kim
dred benefits. Of the great number of
freeholders in the Territory comparatively
few of that number own or ever have
owned 160 acres, the number of acres
allowed under the Homestead and Pre-
emption laws. The appearance of fraud
has been given to many of the land entries
of the Territory through some man enter !
ing quarter-section, and the moment he
received his patent he has decided away
all his quarter-section save perhaps
twenty or thirty acres. Now, how does
this come? The transaction on its face |
looks as though such man had pur- /
chased the land of the Government for /
the purpose of speculation, when in fact
nothing OF the kind has been done. The
history OF these cases is this: A number
Of men have located upon quarter
section before the land came into
market. They have put up division
fences and over the land occupied nv
