DAKOTA.
Senator Harrison Speaks
Again Ofth9 injustice
0fF<e9ping Her Out.

The fight that is being made
against the admission Of Dakota into
the Union is one of the most selfish
and unjust that was yer waged
against any people. Said Senator
Harrison: eff congress refuses to
admit those people to the rights of
statehood, she will simply be despot-
ic and ;yrannical- To keep 500, 900
people in a territory is like banish-
ing them. We often refer to the
days Of the inquisition, and the OPP
pressive laws in England, and the
eA,sing Of the inhabitants of Russia
and all hat kind of thing, but if we
are to refuse shesc people in Dakota
the common rights If American. cit
liens, we do AS bad as e"af did the
tyrants Of these old countries. They
have long since passed the point of
population aud thrift which entitIe
them to come into sisterhood, and |
don't wonder that they are almost
exasperated when refused admission.
1t would not be unnatural If they
were to revolt and refuse to obey
those laws Of the United States
which are now thrown over them If
they have simply that which is OPP
pressive and nothing which relieves
them and helps them to develop.
1t begins to look as though the ter
ritory would become a state by an
act Of congress. If not, however,
the injustice will be so fragrant that
il is sure to react upon the party
which refuses Dakota admission to
statehood"

United States Senator, Daniel ".
Noohees, of whom some of our read
ers may have heard, has introduced
d bill for the admission Of Washing
ton Territory into the Union, as a
state, rs soon as a state government
a be organized. Washington has
about 10000 square milcs-at least
10000 less than Dakota, south of
the 10th parallel. 1t has not more
than half the population of South
Dakota. Ii 10000 square miles are
ample for a state out in the extreme
Northwest, will not o 1000 do in
Dakota? If about lao, 900 people
ont there are entitled to statehood.
how about 275,0 900 over this side of
the mountains? Senator Voorhees,
is II democrat, -Huronite.

sion Of Dakota viii pass the senate
about the 18th, and it is proposed
to secure its early Introduction INTO
the house. The delegation stands
squarely on the proposition as ex-
pressed in the legislative memmor-
ial to congress-divlsion and state
hood or nothing. Quite a number
of leading democrats in the house
will speak in favor of the bill when
it comes mp. The outlook for state
hood is rather encouraging than
otherwise, though by no means
certain.

An Aquatic Afan.Eater.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 15.-Thous-
ands of visitors have been to see the
big shark captured in the bay few
days ago. 1t has been a rich harvest
to the captors. 1t was cut open this
morning, and its stomach contained a
whole section of fish net, fully fifty
pounds of lead, the sinkers weighing
three pounds each. The entire mass
was abont the size of nail key. The
shark Was of the man eating species.
The Maine Election.
PORTLAND, Sept. 14.-Returns from
all but three towns in Cumberland
county show that the entire Republic
can ticket is elected. Returns SO far
received show that the seats in the
Senate will be comprised of twenty-six
Republicans and five Democrats. The
last Senate was entirely Republican.
The House of Representatives of 1885
was composed of lis Republicans,
thirty-four Democrats and two Green
hackers. The Republicans have gained
twelve and lost two, and four more are
in doubt. If the doubtful ones are
Democrats, the Republicans will have
gained six over last year.
A Rise In Coffee.
New YORK, Sept. 14.-During the
past week the coffee market has been
greatly excited at times and dealings
were in very large proportions. On
some days speculative transactions
were over 100000 bags. The rise is
attributed to several causes. Cable ad-
vices from Rio and Havre have been
of a very strengthening character
besides, there are large stocks of visible
supply. As compared with this time
in July, prices show gain of over
cents per pound, compared with this
time in August nearly 2 cents. Re-
cent heavy purchases, spot grades,
added strength to the situation. Back
of all this is the fact that the crop il
short as much as 10000 bags. Some
parties appear to think that the rise
has only just begun, while others say
the market is pretty well strained.
To-day the prices were higher by 5 to
10 points, but the feeling is barely
steady.
