Dakota Statehood.
Pioneer Press,


The people of Dakota DO not propose
to rest quietly under apparently inter
minable injustice. They have deter
mined 70 test the question whether the
voters Of this country will permit a
community having all the requirements
Of statehood to be kept perpetually out
of the Union because majority of its
citizens are in the habit of voting the
Republican ticket. The issue is good
one to raise, ard we DO not imagine
there is any doubt as to the answer
The reassembling Of the Dakota con-
stitntional convention, and the propo-
sition to put into effect the form of
state government already adopted. are
part of a movement to establish Dako-
ta's rights upon which the Democratic
party may look with some dsmay. Now
we shall hear much more defamation
from Washington about disloyalty, and
much grieved censurc, by men who
held representative positions in the
late Confederacy, of the act of Dako.

rights of citizenship. If the Demo-
Gratis in congress can spare time enough
from perusal of the events of JEFF

South to read the news dispatches
from Dakota, they will undoubtedly be
so shocked at the impudence and pre-
sumption of its people as to hold them
selves justified in resorting to any

try have their minds yet to speak, and
they may be heard from in November

THE ONLY ORIGINAL HTMRrG.

In his recent speech Mr. Blaine
said:
Il have no new noStrums To offer
for the cure of labor troubles | have
no quack remedies to propose. | am a
firm believer in the efficacy Of a pro-
tective tariff
He states the case of the protection
lists exactly: they never have any new
nostrums to offer-OnIv the one old
exploded humbug, the policy'of spolia-
ton. which they are pleased to call
protection. He is right in not calling
the protection prescription a quack
remedy: because it lacks the chief ele-
ment of an arcanum-there is no
secret or mystery about it, The doc
tors Of the high tariff school simply
recommend high taxation as a means
of enriching the people and making
better times. This course of treat
ment for labor troubles has been tried
in this country in the past twenty-five
years, and has not only proved a mis-
cradle failure and utterly worthless,
but has greatly aggravated the disease
and brought a long list of concomitant
evils to ailiict the body polite Into
America, which was the paradise of
labor, it has brought tramps. boycot-
tiers, socialists. anarchists and grinding
monopoIies. Mr.. Blaine expresses sur
prise that the workingmen do not pay
more attention to the tariff and RELY
more implicitly upon protection for
relief. In the campaign Of 1884 he
expressed the utmost confidence that
the American people would never re-
fuse to rally to the support of the
protective policy; but his confidence
has been turned to surprise and disap-
pointmcnt He need not be surprised.
