Dakota rs an Issue.
Pioneer Press


The question Of Dakota's admission
does not look to the democratic party
like the harmless playthiug it appeared
to be during the last session of Con
gress. The reckless insolence Of OF
partisan power kept great Territory
out of the union of States. The retri.
button is coming, and even democrats
are beginning TO see that there are pcs
sible losses more grievous to bear than
! the addition of one or two republican
members and two republican Senators
The speech of Congressman Hill AT
Huron shows that he has heard the
warning. At Washington he was in
! deed in favor of the admission. But
now he has got enough farther not to
care whether the Territory comes in as
one State or two. And there will be,
ere long, q good many OF his party as
sociateS who will wish even more ear
nostly than he that they could undo
the work of last winter. The eXclu-
sion of Dakota long after she had eX-
ceeded many Of the old States in all the
essentials Of Statehood forms an issue
about whose merits there can be no
contest, 1t is one which must be kept
before the people in the approaching
congressional elections. For it has
come, by reason OF the persistent de-
nial by the democratic party Of the
rights Of citizenship, not TO be local,
but national issue.
1t was taken up by the republicans
of Connecticut i'm their State cOnven-
ton. 1t has been introduced by Blaine
into the Maine campaign as one Of the
things which should influence the voter
in making his choice between parties
this year. There is not State in
which it should not be brought to and
kept to the front. There can be, in
this country, no question at all compar-
able to that raised by a denial Of self
government There is no injustice
which ought to touch honest men to
the quick more surely than the eXer-
else of the power to disfranchise a
community of more than half million
people, solely because their party opin-
ion happens to differ from that Of the
majority. And the democracy is left
without ground for explanation or ex-
tenuation, because it not only refused
to either divide or admit Dakota, but
it would not take step in either di-
rection. There are many definite and
stirring party issues this year. On the
great question Of the tariff and the
currency. upon which the people ought
to be dividing, there are such internal
differences of opinion AZ fairly prevents
either from forming basis for strict
party fight. But the Dakota outrage is
one supported by practically the solid
strength Of the democratic party. 1t
cannot be paliated or defended. Let
division and admission for Dakota be
made principal issue of the campaign
in every congressional district Of the
North. where democratic opposition to
TO the creation Of new commemorative,
imbued with freedom and progress has
history that is familiar and q mean
ing that is distinct.

How 10 Detect OleOmargarire.

Every housekeeper should know low
to dclect oleomargarine from butter,
said Washington market dealer 10 q
reporter yesterday. The market is
fun of bogus butter SO skilltully made
that it cannot be told from the genuine
article bv the eye or tongue. To de-
tect it the market men draw the blade
Of knife across the suspected butter.
If it is oleOmargarine the place where
the knife was pressed will look white
and the track of the blade will be
marked by beads of water. When the
test is made with genuine butter the
white look does not appear but the but
ter holds its color. Another test is to
drop a piece Of the suspected butter
into a frying pan. II it is oleomarga-
rine il will sputter, because Of the
water in it. If il is real butter it will
melt and bubble or boil, but not sput.

THERE is good deal of criticism OF
the location Of the artesian well, now
that il is grand success. Never mind.
We venture that the city Of Huron will
have Io2en snch wells within as many
years. To all appearances, the flow
nov reached at a depth Of 80 feet, is
just what is needed for domestic pur-
poses. The water is soft as rain, and
pure and clear as mountain spring,
Set it flowing into every household, and
cisterns and wells and force pumps
will be thing Of the past. Huron,
with her trees and her fountains and
her rivulets, is to be bower of beauty,
as well as a center of business. Huron

Senator Ransom spoke here to Il good
crowd yesterday. He was introduced in
handsome speech by the chairman of the
county executive committee, Ed. W. Pou

the fidelity of Senator Ransom to North
Carolina.
The Senator spoke for an hour and a
half to an audience that scarcely moved
He appealed to the Democrats to remem-
Der the great achievements of the party.
He asked why any man should wish to
leave the party at this time. There was
no Republican party to go to. Its organ
ization was destroyed Its convention in
Raleigh even instructed Republicans to
vote for its nominees whether they accept
ed or not. That convention was doubtful
then whether they would accept or not.
What could Democrats expect at the hands
of the Republican party The appeal of
Senator Ransom was beautiful and touch
ing: not a few eyes were mOlstened. \
number of his old soldiers came round
him to grasp the hand of their old com
mander one more time. The speech did
much good. 1t is pity the Senator can
not go to other points IN the county. His
style is classic, but it touches the hum
