RUrJER and YEST UNuASKED.

General Logan spoke some plain truths in
the Senate yesterday on the question OF admit
ting South Dakota as State. The illmsy pre-
texts 10 which the Democrats have resOrted to
cover an opposition wholly partisan IN It's
character were thoroughly exposed. Indeed
Senator Harrison early in the session showed
that there could be no Just ground of opp
stion. South Dakota has double the popnln-
ton fixed upon by Congress as requisite for adj
mission rs a State. Ii has also fulfilled I'll the
conditions imposed upon other territories
before their admission to the Union. In every
attribute of civilization and in all the require
ments Of modern progress 1t is to-day III al
vance of many of the Southern States. Its eX-
pcnditures for school purposes are much larger
than those of some CT the existing States, ana u
affords more revenue to the National Treasury.
1t is absurd to say that the people of such a
Territory shall be denied their right to come
into the Union and to enjoy representation rs
well as taxation.
Mr.. Butler of South Carolina, held that an
cndeavor to come into the Union without an
enabling act WAS revolutionary. Such an
argument, as Mr.. Logan yesterday showed, was
hardly worthy of consideration. There Is no
provision of the Constitution or Of law Icquir-
ing an enabling act. Nor has 1t been the prac-
ticc to require one. Eleven States have been
admitted without such an act, and these pre-
cedents were established by the Democrats.
Mr. Vest minated that it was an objection To
the Territory that many Union soldiers had set
tied there; but his chief objection was founded
ON the alleged igh vote cast when the proposed
constitution was adopted. He made the CON
fesslon, however, that the Democrats were in
structcd by Their leaders tn remain away from
the polis. No wonder the vote WAS light when
so little opposition was shown. This point,
however. was " ell answered by General Logan
in maknga comparison with South Carolina.
That State, which claims II population OF
900. OOO cast only 81 900 votes, while Sonth
d ko,a, with only 2Gl.OoO population, cast
1000 votes. As General Logan remarked.
there is certainly something WONG here and
it is not in Dakota either. Il does not become
General Butler or any Southern Senator to
make prcteIt Of opposing Dakota on such
grounds.
The truth is that the Democrats oppose the
admission of Sonth Dakota because 1t has given
"A Republican majority. Before the War no nee
State could b. admitted to the ULion unless u
slave State came in at the same time. The
"pcculiar institution has been wiped ont in
blood, but the old principles still rule in the
Democratic party. Until there is Demo-
cratic Territory ready to b; admitted along
with Dakota, its rights to Statehood will not
be acknowledged by the Democratic party.
As General Logan stated, by such means and
the continued suppression OF votes IN the
South, that party hopes to retain control oil the
Government We trust for the sake OF justice
that it will be vain hope

formed his difficult task so well. The names OF
most of the new Ministers have been already
given in the various cable forecasts, although
the positions to which they have been assigned
vary somewhat from the predictions. All the
elements of the Liberal party are represented
and the Cabinet as whole is a strorg one.
The men composing it have been tried in pub
lie station and have not been found wanting.
Lord Rosebery's promotion to the Foreign
Office is deserved. Lord Granville is trans
ferred to the Colonial Office. The War Office
goes to Mr.. II. Campbell Bannerman. Mr.
Childers is made Home Secretary, and Slr
William Harcourt Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who felt himself entitled
to an important position, has sacrificed his am
bition and accepted a minor place. Among the
strongest men in the Cabinet are Mr.. Munde Ia
Mr.. Trevelyan and Mr.. Morley. 1t nov re-
mains to be seen how wise the nav Govern
ment will show itself in dealing with Ireland
and the Irish question. If they cannot solve
this great problem, it will be difficult to form
Cabinet that can.

THE 0IyGERS or the TREASURY.

! THE DINGERS or THE TREASURY.
The announcement that the Committee of
! WAYS ana Means will report . bill to require
| the pavmcnt of bonds until the surplus in the
| Treasury shall be reduced to 100000, 900,
! gives especial interest to the statement of the
public debt and the condition Of the Treasury
| February / Theoretically the reduction of
debt during the month has been SS,G72,5 ji.
| Yet the actual debt is S2,2O0,O00 larger Feb
ruary than it was January |, and the amount
of gold owned by the Treasury il $l1,9OO,OO0
less than it was January l. What has actually
! been done is this: the stool; of silver owned
| has increased $4,000, 900 in the month and
| the lcgal-tcndcr notes held by the Treasury
have increased 5,1OO, 900, while deposits in
| banks have increased $l,200,0O0. BY the in
crease OF these and other forms Of cash in hand.
| and the reduction in the amount of interest
due, there is secured decrease Of debt less
cash, which il followed Immediately by the
| payment now in progress Of SIC, 900. 600 bonds
from the cash on hand But this will further
decrease the gold reserve, which IS now only
$l36,O00,000. 1t will presently be reduced to
$12G,00O,O 900, unless holders Of the bonds
accept cgil-tcndcrs in part payment
That Is just the balance which the Treasury
| held July 1. when the Secretary borrowed
| SlO,O00.O00 in gOll from the banks, affirming
that there WAS goat danger that he would not
be able to continue gold payments unless the
loan could be effected. Now, instead of
borrowing, the same Secretary issues another
call for $1O,000,000 of bonds, which will
further reduce the gold reserve perhaps to
$11G,0O0,O0o, if the ontgo is not accelerated
during the month by exports Of gold. This bit
of experience seems to tc lch either that the
Secretary WIS needes3ly Attained last June,
and had 10 occasion TO borrow dollar Oh poor
security, or else that he is reckless now in cx-
pending the reserve in the ton of bonds
which holders do not ask to have redeemed.
! The TRIBUNE is inclined to believe that there
is some truth in both explanations: that he
was needlessly alarmed in June last, and that
he il not sufficiently prudent now. The
present state of foreign trade ia such that the
reserve in the Treasury IL liable to be rapidly
and largely reduced by causes over which the
| Secretary has 10 control. II that reduction
| goes SO far az to cause general apprehension, or
| if such apprehension should be produced by any
unwse act of Congress, the decrease Of reserve
| is liable to be so rapid as to convince the Sec
rotary that he has made grave mistake.
The enactment proposed by the Committee
| of Ways and Means would be exceedingly
likely to have that effect. Nominally the
balance ia the Treasury above the ~ 90. 100000

IN ERUPTION or BOChBONISn'
The New Jersey Legislature has not di'tIa-
eushpd itself by the passage OF ridiculous
States' rights resolutions because 1t wished 10
prevent the building of bridge dcemed IN
iurious to the interests of the State. The bridge
controversy will soon settle itself. But the aD-
su,d doctrines which the Legislature has been
foolish enough to embody in formal resolutions
will remain for generations to plague those
who voted for them, and their political sue
cessors. 1t is pity that there was not Ill either
house a single Republican of sense and infiu-
ence enough to put the protest against the
bridge into reasonable and respectable shape
before it was passed. The lack OF such ke-
publican may help to explain Democratic VIC
tories in that State.
The doctrine of these resolutions, II the
Legislature is to be supposed to have known
what it was about, is exactly the doctrine of the
Southern Seccssionists before the War Those
Democrats of New-Jersey who h0nOrcd their
State ard their country by their glorious fidel-
ity during the War of the Rebellion were not
bat-eyed enough to accept such theories rs the
limitations of their duties and rights under the
Consultation of the United States. There is
not an honorable lage in the history OF the
State which such resolutions would not deiace.
One of these days. it is to be hoped, there may
grow up in New-Jersey intelligence enough to
repeal and expunge resolutions so discrcditable.

i CURIOUS TIyDIcA1IoY OF GARLAND

CURIOCS VINDICA1ION OF GARLAND
The BU1al0 Courier is President Clevclands
home organ. As such it is expected to hold
high the standard of reform, to insist that
public office is public trust to appeal TO
clarified ideas of public duty and generally to
behave in an exemplary manner. But we
regret to observe that its attitude toward
Attorney General Garland is destructive OF
these expectations. THE TRIBUNE lately
asserted that it was a sorry spectacle to see an
Attorney General whose pocket bulges out
with stock given him while Senator by one
telephone company using his high official posi-
ton ID break down rival telephone company
on the strength of decision rendered by q
brother Cabinet official.
Mr.. Cleveland's home organ does not regard
this as il sorry spectacle. And while not going
to the length OF speaking of it rs a choice spec
linen Of the fruit grown upon the Cleveland
reform tree, it does not hesitate to declare that
Kit is difficult to see what cause any one has
I" for distressing himself" over the spectacle.
Mr.. Cleveland's home organ follows up this
remark by explaining precisely what it means

Attorney General were tue the Inducements for hfI.

lie would seem from this exploit in the field OF
the ethics of official life, that Nj. Cleveand's
home organ believes that the presentation Of
Sl,5O0,000 worth of telephone stock TO Sen
ator Garland is help rather than hindrance
to Attorney General Garland in his connection
with telephone suits. Why an advantage, in
the name of all that is reputable son." Mr..
Cleveland's home organ argues in elect, Mr.
aGarland's possession of that big block Of rival
q stock will make him more zealously faithful in
Gthe discharge of hs duties in the suit in
sauestion than he might otherwise have been
