A western congressman opposed to
the present admission of Dakota, is
quoted by the New York Sun as
saying; There are some very dan
gerous rings in Dakota, and the ag-
riculturial classes have but little
voice in public matters. Five years
will change this characteristic, and
the men who are now running
things to suit themselves and the
rings with which they are ccnnec-
ted, will be swept from the boards"
He is quite right as to the existence
of the rings, but cannot be so sure
as to their being "swept from the
boards" in a few years. They are
connected with our great railroad
and land corporations and have
more friends at Washington than
have the people Of the Territory.
With statehood and government by
the people, the growth Of popula-
ton would 500 overwhelm the ring
men; but, while Dakota remains a
Territory the rings will maintain
their existance and the substance
OF their power-unless a national
administration helps the people Of
the Territory Notwithstanding the
influence the rings and railroads can
bring to bear.

for cancellation ON the ground of
insufficient residence, SPHINX being
