THE Arbitrary, Inconsistent and al
together unjust rulings"''of commissions
er Sparks are, according to the RecieT
editors idea, "simply an effort honest
on his part TO protect the public domain
against the thieving tendencies of cor
p~orations and sp~eculators." In the first
place, the righteous indignation that is
being poured out upon the head OF
Sparks oIne not from corporations
and spectators" but from honest set
tiers who have been denied the com-
mon rights guaranteed and admitted I'M
der the homestead act until this great
humbug was elevated 10 his present
high place. Senator Edmunds,o ON Mon
day. suggested to the Sioux Falls COM
mittee that the best way to deal with
this dude commissioner was to apply to
the United States Supreme Court for a
mandamus to compel him TO issue
patents, and is certainly one that should
be resorted TO. Notwithstanding the fact
that Sparks has lhus far exhibited little
regard for law or facts, he may be made
to feel the weight of judicial interference
before he runs the gauntlet completely.

THE Senate presidential succession bill
is likely to meet It's death in the House
ofRepresentatives, as there is consider,
able opposition to 1t expressed. 1t is
thought that the House committee to
whom it was referred will report it I'm
favorably. The principal objection &c
having the cabinet officers succeed to
the presidency is hat it would be,
practically, taking the choice of presi'
dent out of the hands of the people,
There is talk of substituting in its stead
a bill providing for the election of presi.
dental electors for aterm of four years,
and in case of the death of both the
president and yice-president they
to meet and select a president. This is
Mr.. Randall's idea, and he proposes to
fight it out on hat line.

ADVISES from Washington within a
few days state that it now seems almost
improbable for Dakota to be admitted
to the union at the present term of
Congress. If this be true, and the terri
tory is not accorded her legitimate
rights after two or three years of patient
waiting and honorable %endeavor, then
will all fairminded people, east, west,
north and south, give utterance to a wall
of indignation not oft experienced in a
commonwealth more submissive to the
decisions Of her legislative representa-
tives than gwen to audible complaint.
And there is, indeed, sufficient cause
for such utterance, and has been for
time reaching far into the past, but not
emitted because of the commendable
endurance and forbearance of the
American people. The recent proceed
ing of the populace of the territory in
forming q State constitution, and as
sembling a legislature, may not be re-
ligiously right, speaking on general
principals, but there is certainly ample
excuse for such measures IN the puerile
manner in which these people have
been treated by the power to whom
they are constitutionally compelled to
look for an adjustment of their progress
in this particular; and In the heaven
born precept, that there is a point at
| which human endurance ceases to be Il
| virtue, and If practiced further, will
prove q weapon of self-destruction.
Dakota is now much ahead in all points
| of qualification to statehood, of many of
the states at the time of their admission,
and yet the door of Uncle Sans domain
is barred against her by the selfish
envies, and avaricious political appetite
of his sworn and trusted wardens, Dem
ocratic Congressman. She can show a
far greater measure of educational, re-
ligious, manufacturing and agricultural
advancement than has been the condi-
ton of most western states at the time
of admission. And yet these points of
excellence, even do not win one iota
of favor from her invincible enemies.
No western state, when relieved of her
territorial apparel could produce so
much intelligence, push and enterprise
among her population, and so equally
distributed over her confines as can Da
kota. Yet she cannot be admitted. She
has about twice the prescribed quantum
of inhabitants, but admission cannot be
secured, In truth, Dakota has been
amply qualified, and full grown these
many years, and in the face of it all,
these sworn promoters of our civil COM
pact, procrastinate in duty on the most
childish, silly and disgusting TECHNICAL
ties, and keep a strong, vigorous, and
brilliant copmonwealtk in the meshes of
its swaddling clothes, thereby retarding
ner material growth. And why? Os-
tensibly, for mere partisan qualification.
When they will produce any reason,
even semi-rational, for such action, the
public will be ready to disbelieve the
partisan theory, but not before.

THAT all the shades of honesty and
dignity of honor have not passed from
Ohio political circles was demonstrated
in the House of Representatives of that
State last Tuesday when the nine Demo
cratic Representatives from Hamilton
county were unseated by ballot, and the
Republican contestants put in their
places. The Democrats were given GER
t~ificates of election upon order of the
supreme court of the State, despite the
convincing evidence and indubitable
facts which had previously been adj
duced to prove that they had been
counted IN through a system of gross
frauds and most barefaced trickery. The
bold and defiant campaign carried on
under the supervision of John K.
McLane to rob the people of their
rights and thereby usurp a seat in the
United States Senate so long and hon.
orably filed by John Sherman, has not
been approached in the northern
states by anything so outrageous except
the Mackin rascality in Chicago, which
came very near defeating John A. Lo-
gan. But fortunately that wrong was
righted. Mr.. Logan was elected Sena-
tor and Mackin is serving a five years
sentence i'm the Joliet ~penitentiary. In
Ohio Sherman is reelected, but the
culprits who planned his defeat by the
most damnable political methods known
to modern politics are unfortunately
breathing free air, with no probability
that they can be brought to judgment
for their crime.

THE State Board of Correction and
Charities has taken the census of incar.
cerated persons throughout the State,
and find the whole number to be 1905
and among these there are ~ women,
l75 out of the number are persons
awaiting trial in various jai!s. They al
SO find that of the 50 jails in the State
fourteen are empty. There are "A.
prisoners in the State ~penitentiary, in
Guiding ten women. These figures H.
l~ustrate one thing strikingly, that is the
vast number of men who lead criminal
lives as compared with women. This
is probably due as much to the greater
number of opportunities and tempta'
tons men have a. to corrupt tendencies
| of their nature.

ii. ii. You've, Secretary of State Board
of Immigration deplores the fact that

REPRESENTATIVE CURTIN, of Pennsyl-
vania, has resigned his position as chair
man Of the Banking and Currency COM
mittee, as a resentment TO the speaker
in refusing him the craftsmanship Of the
committee on Foreign Affairs, to which
lac was entitled by custom, and which
was given TO Perry Belmont, Of New
York. Mr.. Curtin is very severe on
Secretary Bayard, whom he accuses as
influencing the speaker in treating him
with such marked di~scourtesy.

IN last Fridays Pioneer Press we're con-
tanned remarks by two or three of Man
kato's citizens among which were the
following:
J F. Meagher, Mankato-There is no
boom at Mankato. We had a
boom, but the town was never more
prosperous than at the present time.
We will have a street railway next
spring, and there is every reason to be-
lieve hat one or two steam railways
will be extended to Mankato within the
next wear. I understand that the road
from Mortified to Kasota will be ex-
tended to Mankato.
And on Tuesday the Rerie~ claps its
applause in the following language:
Mr.. Meagher was right in saying to
the st. Paul reporters that there il no
boom at Mankato-it is substantial, per-
manent growth and development in
population, and business prosperity that
il is enjoying at this time.
But Wise's ''specs' must have served
him in their customary way, for in the
same column and in close proximity to
Mr.. Meagher's remarks, appeared the
following unmistakable utterances:
Senator Daniel Buck, Mankato-All
the Democrats down my way are sweal-
ing except two or three, and the latter
are in Office or have succeeded in get
ting their friends government position.
The Democrats denounce this boss sys-
TEN as practiced by Kelly and Doran.
They won't have it and will beat any
man for Office who will not repudiate
the whole thing. It's a cursed outrage
To think that old Democrats are not con-
suited, but the whole appointment bust
ness carried on by a ring of men.
There'l be fun in the next Democratic
state convention. Ii may be that the
ring men will be in the majority, but
whether they are or not there will be a
lively time, don't want an Office and
haven't a friend who wants one, but /
don't think that the offices should be
gwen out at the d~ictation of two or a
half dozen bosses.
Perhaps Wise thought to act upon the
principal of the Survival of the fittest"
in making his comment, but as he is one
of the 1.-TWO or three" he could not be
expected to see it as others" do.

We are i'll receipt of Il small four page
paper from the State penitentiary, Wau
pun, Wis, edited and published by in
mates of that institution and is said tC
he the only sheet of the kind in the
United States. The paper is called
"The Prison Press" and is full of some
quaint, as we'll az logical items. A few
sample clippings cannot but interest
our readers. In the local columns We
find:-"While the Prison Press is neither
offensive nor partisan we want it dis
tinctly understood that we are not as
pirants for the Waupun p~ost-office."
And again--"We advocate the Free
dom" Of Press, but then everybody
amt like us, YOU know" And in another
column-"Ain't You sorry you done it?'
And vet another-"The Warden is
breaking colts nowadays and the re-
pair shops are over crowded with work
on that account. Under "lost and
found" notice appears-''a man on the
upper tier is said TO have found a bag
string in his soup. He was about as
much astonished as another who found
a piece o! meat in his.the other day..
