does not some man, I'm either house OF con-
gress, with brains enough TO know what Is
right and nerve enough 10 do il or suggest
it. introduce an enabling act for the adinis-
sion OF Dakota as one grand, imperial state,
regardless of personal or partizan con-
sideratiOns? Worthless rs congress is, such
an act could be passed in thirty days. 1t Is
Dakota's right? She alone, of all the nine
territories. possesses the requisite pOpula-
ton and other qualifications for statehood.
She alone is entitled to it, She is not en-
titled to any double or treble form of it, and
all the gangs of
DIVISION BUCCANEERS,
and SPECTATORS in twOply gOvemerships
and quadruple senatorShips, should be at
once and forever kicked out of the way of
the majestic coming commonwealth. They
have already been allowed 10 hold back the
chariot wheels OF her progress far too long"
How does President Cleveland stand on

Go away with your conundrums. Who
knows how Cleveland stands on any queS-
ton? am not one of Growers contiden-

and Chef camp In the White house. Per-
sonally, l neither know nor wish TO know
anything about Rose EliZabeth'S bull-necked
brother; politically, he suits me very well.
i think he is honest and aims TO do his duty
fearleSsly and impartially. He seems 10
aspire to be president of the republic and
not Of political party. ana his course is
good for the country while il is rough on
his old mossback partisan bummers. His
territorial appointments have generally been
spectable-sOmething that could not al
ways be said heretofore. One of his most
abused selections. in which our territorial
people are specially interested. has certainly
been good one. Gen. Sparks rs commits
sioner of the land Office has made some
mistakes, but even his errors have leaned
to virtues side. Under such fellows as
Teller the land office had become one Of
the rottenest departments of the govern
ment 1t was hOneycOmbed with villainy
and fraud. There was no outrage or crime
that a powerful railroad corporation, with

could not perpetTate through il. Changes
of survey, relocation of lands. grabs. gOuges,
swindles and steals, without end or limit,
bad been winked at, cOnnived at, and di-
vided with for years. Sparks has laid a
throttling hand on all these Scoundrelisms,
and OF course the baffled scOundrels howl.
His blunders will correct themselves; these
abuses never would have done so. Nearly
half the entire landed domain of the
United States had been sQuandered on
thieyes-individual thieves and corpora
tional thieves. 1t was time to call a halt,
and Sparks has had the grit and backbone
to do it. With the Thurman bill in regard
TO the Union Pacific road law, and few
such men as Sparks to infOrce it. even that
most gigantic of all modern pirates and
eorruptionists, Jay Gould, might be called
to account and his transcontinenta
anacondas made to diSgOrge the 500, 00O,-
600 or so of the peoples money they have
gulped down from the hands OF bought
and-paid-for senators, congressman anC
supreme Judges. Few innocent victims will
suffer by Sparks rulings, and L am inclined
to think he will earn a monument at leaS
as tall as the highest standard of honesty il
our national politics.
