There may not be much ground for
Dakota to crave admission to the
union, but such silly ridicule as that
of Mr.. Vest in his speech the other
day will have the effect of winning
the admission scheme friends, instead
of enemies. Said this valient senator,
who had no hesitancy in insulting
hundreds of men of the plain, whose
habits have perhaps been far more
temperate than the average congress
man, or senator either, not excluding
the speaker, "Cut off whisky from a
man on the plains and you take from
him all that makes life endurable. D
Of course, this was merely to make a
point and present lit lie cheap VI to
bis hearers, but nevertheless the brave
and hardy fellows who have left the
saloon and its accompaniment to TN
cities and towns and gone forth 10 the
plains and by hard toll have made
them blossom as the rose, will hardly
appreciate the remark even if they
possess no decided sentiments either
ON the prohibition, or the Dakota ques-
ton. There are probably several
men on the plains thai the small sena-
tor has not yet seen.

Origin of the Word Texas.

Texas Sitting.
In a recent articlr published in the
North American Review Gov, Ireland
asserts that the word Texas
means welcome" and that on the land
ing of the first white men on the coast
of Texas the Indians greeted them
with the exclamation O." Texas, or
welcome" Tn s theory, according to
a correspondent in the Texas Voer-
waerts, is not correct. In the
ancient Spanish archives, stored
away in the land Office at Au tin,
It appears that certain lands were
situated en- ell pals de los T jas, or in the
country of the Texas or TEXAS indians, K
and j being prom unced alike. 1t is We'll
known that the Texas or TEXAS Indians
were tribe of Indians living in the
valley of the Rio Grande, who were
exterminated or driven off by more
savage tribe. the wor Mexas or TEXAS
is the roo uf the names of all the Indi-
an tribes In Texas and Mex co. The
prefix indicated the locality os the
tribe The As-Tej ,s, or A>tecs, dwell

Mrs. James l.. Wilson, while living by

Talbot is Mrs. Wilson's nephew. The
property involved consists OF real es-
tate in Illinois and at Digh ton, Mass.

test was laid before the Senate in BE-
cret session against the confirmation
OF the collector OF customs in Yer
mont. II is signed by people whom
the Vermont Senators regarded as
worthy Of consideration. The grounds
Of their objection are that the collector
has appointed as deputy, to take
charge OF station on the Canada line
through which several hundred thou
sand dollars worth OF goods are an
nually imported, a man who has been
three tines indicted for Irregularities
in connection with the customs and
who has compromised the affairs with
the Treasury DEPARTMENT. The protest
is said TO have given rise TO q short
but interesting debate.
