One of the questions which will almost
inevitably come before congress again
during the approaching session will be the
admission Of Dakota TO the Union as a new
state. Dakota claims to have 500.0A0 popu-
lation. This is larger population than any
state in the entire Union had when it was
admitted. This is a larger population than
any one of nine states now III the Union had
at the last census. Not one of the states of
Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode
Island and Vermont has as many inhabitants
AS Dakota Colorado, Delaware, Nevada and
Oregon have neither of them half the popu-
laton of Dakota. There is Just one objection
To the admission of Dakota and only one:
At IL that she would probably elect repu6li-
eau senators and congressman. This is the
only real reason why the democratic
'aajority in congress prevent her admission.

An effort is being made by the pension
oiiice at Washington TO securea record of all
prisoners of war of the late rebellion. When
tho record of surviving soldiers and sailors,
late of the union army or navy, was first es-
tablished in the pension Office. il was decided
to make as full and complete record of
union ex-prisoners OF war a. could be OBJ
tanned. Owing, however, TO the fact that
the number of ex prisoners who belong to
prisoner of-war associations is comparatively
small. the attempt thus far has not been en-
tirely successful. 1t is now deemed advisable
tn call upon each post of the g. A. Il. to for
ward separate and complete list of its
,nemben and others, giving postofiee ad-
dresses. who were at any tune prisoners of
war. Upon receipt of this list, cards prepared
expressly for the purpose will be mailed to
ali ex-prisOners so reported upon lists, and
the history of their service and capacity thus
obtained will be valuable addition to the
Prisoners of War Records."-AHegan
