the democratic party Of Dakota who
come here and act as though they fslt

their party. This makeslt bad for

Chicago is not to enjoy an entire mo-
nopoly of the exemplification OF social
istio ideas. Dakota points proudly to it's
clan Spotted Tail, who have just risen
in their might and hurled their white
sovereign from his pinnacle of power,
wiped the prairie with him and mixed
him up with the alkali of their subur-
ban bad lands. Our anarchists are not
the ignoble clay which throws bomb

sugar in their settlement with the police
and dictated their own terms at the

In recent editorial touching upon

City Journal says:
The question which the people of

The Journal has finally reached a point
in its discussion of this subject when it
tscltly admits that the people of Dako-
ia are proceeding with the law and

question for argument far should

are their legitimate heritage? In the
sense in which it is propounded it is a
mere question of expedienoy. What
course will bring the best results TO Da-
kota ?--not to the republican party at
large. In all discussions of the question
the good of the party and the good
of Dakota should be considered
separately and apart. Dakota owes
nothing to any party. From the begin
ming of territorial time it has been the
creature of party whim and party cruel
ty. That which the democratic party
has just done to Dakota has its parallel

Twenty democratic members OF the
Ohio senate ran awa- from Che state
capital and took. themselves beyond the
jurisdiction of the sergeant at arms of
the Ohio gsnate. Fourteen of them
went to Tennessee and the others scat
tered themselves about in adjoining
states. They left Columbus for the pur-
pose of destroying a quorum of the
state senate and placed themselves be-
yond the jurisdiction Of. the sergeant at
arms SO they could not be arrested and
dragged back like criminals to face
their duty. Their object in destroying
a quorum was to prevent the adoption
of a committee report seating four re-
publican snators from Hamilton coun-
ty, whom the democrats attempted to
keep out of their seats by fraudulent
practices, thereby deprivlng the republic
can party OF it's rightful majority in the
senate. After their departure the
remaining members of the Ohio senate
convened pursuant to adjournment and
by oSpa voce vote adopted the report
seating the four republican senators,
who were sworn in and are now Nom.
bers of the Ohio Legislature. The ques.
tion of "no quorum" was not raised
there was no roll call to indicate how
many were present and ss the record
does not show the absence of a quorum
the legal presumption is that q quorum

business was transacted. The court.

Hamilton county members, SO long de

which they were elected. The fugitive
democrats left one of their own kind be
bind to watch the republicans during
their absence, but he appears to have
been beguiled away at the critical mo
ment. The world will be pleased tt
know that the Ohio legislature is nov
ready for business.

illiteraoy in the south was danger to the
republic.
Mr.. Logan inquired why the illitordtcs
from 10 years Of age to 100 should be in
cluded? A large amount Of the approprla-
ton, he thought, would he based on old
peoples illiteracy.
Mr.. Allison suggested an amendment,
which he said he would offer at the proper
time, providing that in each state in which
there shall be separate schools for white and
colored children, the money paid shall be
appOrtioned and paid out for the support Of
such white and colored schools In the pro.
portion that the illiterpoy Of the white aud
cOlored persons bear to each other as shown
by the census. Mr.. Allison thought the bin
should be so amended as TO be precisely
what II was intended to be, and there should
be no room left for doubt TO arise when the
provisions Of the bill came to be applied In
practice, as TO the proportion Of the money
TO he applied TO white aud cOlOred schools
respectively.
Mr.. Edmunds thought this proposed
amendment good one. lie had no crlti-
cism to make on the system Of separate
white and colorcd schools, though IN Yer
mont there was no objection whatever TO
colored children going TO the same school
with their little white friends. lie had
never heard Of any objection to their play
| ing marbles together, and, therefore, none
to their attending the same school. But
there were only a few colored people In
| Vermont, and Mr.. Edmunds would moi
speak for communities in which there were
a large number Of those people. lie was
disposed TO think that under the existing
condition Of affairs II was better for the
children Of both races, and for the ultimate
| good of the states in which they lived, that
they should be educated separately.
The debate here closed for the day, and
at o'clock, the Senate adjourned.
