OMNIBUS ADMISSION BILL.

Mr.. Prinele's bill for the admission ol
Dakota. Montana, Washington and New
Mexico will command tho support Of every
member Of Congress who desires to do jus
tice to those Territories. But the most
serious opposition to the passage OF Mr..
Pringle's bill, and which will probably de.
ieat it, will come from Dakota herself. That
Territory is divided against itself. One
party wishes to preserve its boundaries
and asks admission az q whole. Another
insists that Congress shall admit a North
and South Dakota, making two States.
This will not be done. It is asking too
much Of q Democratic House, to add four
Republican United States Senators to the
majority in the Senate and to throw
six electors to the Republican candidate
for the Presidency in 1888.
Texas, with her immense area-sufficient
to make four States the size Of New York
is as much entitled to q division as is Da-
kota, yet as an Overwhelmingly Democratic
State the present Republican United States
Senate would not, for q moment. entertain
the proposition. Neither will the Demo-
cratic House admit Dakota v two States.
There is danger that the ambition Of a few
Republican politicians in that Territory
will overreach itself, and the people be
longer continued in their vassalage. If it
were not that Montana's failure would fol-
low that OF Dakota we would raise no
voice against the senseless squabbling OF
the North and South Dakota idiots who
want the earth, but who will be compelled
to rest content with nothing. 1t is hoped
that reason will prevail, and Mr.. Pringie's
bill be passed.

lied. While his acquaintance with Lady
Colin may not have exceeded that justified
by polite society, still the mere fact that
she knew him and was in his company at
times prejudices her case in the miuds OF
narrow-minded and prudish persons. For
he is what is termed in America "a hard
case"
The descendant OF q distinguished war
rior and libertine, he car point to q long
line OF ancestors who have figured in more
scandals OF this kind than any other fam
lily that ever lived. In his own person he
stands az the hero of several Opponents, a
few cases of alienated affections, many
plain violations OF the seventh command
ment and quite a number OF elegant d.
suits. In spite of all these things he
has managed to mainta ain a high reputa-
ton for veracity, and it is known among
his friends that he wonld not commit per-
jury to save anybody but a person OF quail.

One OF the problems which now presents
itself for the consideration of our national
Lawmakers is how to provide a new basis
for the circulation of national banks. This
question has now become one of vital i'm.
port, and various propositions have been
made to meet the requirement. By the
calling in OF the 3 per cents a large number
OF the national banks Of the country will
soon find themselves without an available
basis for their circulation, as the bonds
which they have deposited with the Comp.
troller of the Currency as security are now
or soon will be r~edeemable, and will be paid
and cancelled. Among the various propo-
sitions made to meet this exigency, one
will doubtless be crystalized into a law sat-
isfactory to all parties more directly inter
ested.

The Senate Finance Committees ma
jority of whom are Republicans-gave
silver another square blow in the face
Tuesday. It ordered a favorable report
for the redemption and recoinage of the
trade dollar, provided that the amount to
be redeemed shall not exceed half a million
dollars monthly, and that it shall be
counted as part OF the monthly purchase
OF bullion for the mints. The House Com
mittee-a majority Of whom are Demo
crats-also reported favorably for the re.
demption OF the trade dollars, but pro-
vided that it shall not be counted as a
part OF the monthly bullion purchase.
This is one OF the scores of instances wher-
in Republican bodies have shown their
hostility to silver. They never miss an
opportunity to strike it a blow.
