GREEDY DAKOTA POLITICIANS.

In recent comm unication to the New
York Sun, Col Pat Donan, the poet lau>
reatc of the northwestern prairies, points
out that Dakota has never yet asked for
admission to the union, and that therefore
the howl raised about the denial of her
alleged rights is without foundation in
fact. What the Dakota politicians have
demanded is the partition of the territory
and the admission of two states, with a
quadruple representation in the senate
and duplicate sets of congressman and
state officers. The demand is presump
tious and unreasonable to the last degree
and unlikely 10 ever be complied with,
certainly not so long as either house Of
congress is controlled by the democrats
1t is bad enough that Dakota. with her
three or four hundred thousand people,
should have an equal representation in
the senate with the great state of New
York, with her five millions of people. but
to demand four senators to New York
two is simply preposterous Cook coun
ty is nearly twice AS large. numerically
speaking, as the whole of Dakota; .hert
are single streets in New York City thai
are worth more than the entire territory
there are many cities. and not of the lar,
gest class. either. towns like Lowell
Pittsburg and Newark, that turn out d
greater annual production than Dakota
The reason for this preposterous claim
is found in the greed of the hungry Da'
kota politicians They are not satisfied
with the ordinary number of senators, o
congressman, of state officers. of legisla-
lures. Oh mol They want a double sup
ply of all these desirable perqulsites ii
order that their chances of feeding at thu
public crib may be increased; and not on
ly are they anxious for the offices, but by
u double representation in the electora
college they want to control the polilica
destines of the country.

THE TARIFF.

The experts whom Mr. Morrison has had
engaged in preparing material for his
proposed tariff bill will have about cons
pleted their labors, and it is probable the
bill will formulated this week The scope
and nature of this bill can not be ascer-
taineG, as members of the committee have
not thus far been consulted about it, or
given any intimatlon of what it is to con
tain Mr.. Hewitt has also been engaged
on proposed legislation In this direction,
and there is report that Morrison has or
will submit his proposition to that gentle.
man. 1t is understood that any bill
which Mr.. Morrison will present will
place lumber and salt and perhaps iron
and other ores on the free list. 1t is also
probable that material reduc.io will
be attempted on pig iron and scrap. the
duty on which is now three tenths of
cent per pound which is equivalent to
S6.7 per ton. The Morrison bill will
probably place the duty on this material
at two-tenths of cent or 81 As per ton
The present duty on iron ores is rs cents
per ton and the imports reach 90, 900 tons
per annum. Salt in bags pays 12 and in
bulk cents per 100 and the annual duty
collected is about 100000. OF pig iron
and scrap iron there are imported an
nually between 200. 600, 900 and 300 900
900 tons. In 1884 the imports were
nearly 350,000,00O tons and the
duty collected about SO, 100000. Last
year the imports fell to $4,000, 900
tons and the duties to little over ST.
100000 A reduction of one tenth of l
cent would be equivalent to reduction
OF 80 per cent upon pig and scrap iron.
Some members of the committee advocate
placing pig and scrap iron on tie free
list as being raw material What reduc-
tons will be attempted on wool and tex
ties is not known. A strong effort will be
made to make reduction In the duty on
sugars, upon which the duty collected in
1884 was over S47, 900, 600. and last year
over SCI ,00O,00 Before presenting his
bill TO the House and perhaps to the
committee on Ways and Means, Mr.. Nor
rison may consult with Mr.. Randall and
others OF the more conservative men on
the democratic side with view of cons
tanning their support. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Morrison does not care to risk
another effort to change the tariff laws
without some assurance of support from
this element of his party. and it is credl--
tably reported that he invited Mr.. Randall
early in the session to present him with
his views in relation to tariff revision
but Mr.. Randall declined, informing Mr.
Morrison that he had no time to make {
tariff BILL and that If he Morrison, made
such bill and would present him will
the changes MIR. Randall would frankl,
state his views upon them. Mr.. Morrison
at this interview said he was anxious tc
secure a moderate revision, and was de.
sirous of making his work acceptable to
Mr.. Randall and other democrats who
shared his views. The ARGUS trusts al
democrats in congress will lend theil
cheerful assistance to Mr.. Morrison in hi.
