In reply to the Mandan Pioneer, which
asks with childlike simplicity why Da.
kota wants statehood, the Mitchell Re-
publican says:
You want statehood because yon are
American citizens and should demand
the full right of governing yourselves,
whatever it costs. You want to take
part in the election of president. and
you want to be represented in the United
States senate by two senators and in the
house by two congressman instead of
one delegate, who has no right to vote
and must take back seat like poor
boy at q frolic You do not want UncIe
Sam to keep on paying your judges and
Legislatures and governors. 1t is not
manly or independent to have your ex-
peases paid from the treasury at Wash
ington. Dakota is big enough and rich
enough and proud enongh to pay her
own bills, if congress will give her the
right of managing her own affairs.
And you want something better than
a patched up congressional organic ac'
as the basis OF all governmental processes
and the protection Of the commonwealth
| against corruption. You also want the
school lands from which to create fun6
for the education of your children before
they die of old age.

Governor Pierce hoists the signal of

The result of Mondays election in
Maine is o plurality of from $4,000 to
$4,000 in behalf OF the republican state
ticket. Every congressional district was
carried by the republicans and there will
be at least two thirds republican
majority in the Legislature. Two years
ago Blaine's plurality in Maine was 20,-
900 and his majority $4,000. In that year
the republicans elected all the members
of the state senate and 115 of the 15l
members of the house. This year the
prohibitionists OF Maine united with
the democrats against the republicans
and joined in a crusade against the party
which makes prohibition successful
cause in thst state. In the face of thIs
combination the republicans of Maine
gained sweeping victory last Monday

A csispy cablegram from the London

from clover leaf, with enough of the

To-day the democrats of Wisconsin
hold their state convention at Madison.
it is anticipated that Gabe Bouck, of
Oshkosh, colonel during the war OF the
eighteenth Wisconsin infantry, will be
the nominee for governor. The balance
of the ticket is on begging expedition.
The election of Governor Rusk, the re-
publican nominee, is conceded by 3D.
900 majority, and the democrats have
little heart in their work. They are dis
satisfied with the administration and
Villas and Bouck and will help along the
republican majority. There isin Wis
cnnsin labor party and prohibition
party. The former will divide upon
political lines and the latter will cast
from 5000 to $4,000 against republican
ism and possibly against democracy.

Tho Historical Association.

With the proceedings of last night the
came to an end. The society may be con-
graduated upon having achieved distinct
success inithe line Of investigation marked
out. A careful attendance at many OF the
sessions has demonstrated that the mem
bers who had been appointed to read papers

entious feeling than usually actuates many
Of those who have the honor to belong to
a scientific or any form Of learned society.
This desirable result may have been due
partly to the necessity Of keeping con-
stantly before one's eyes the fact that Hon.
George Bancroft is president, and allows no
deputy to perform his duties. The distin-
guished historian kept the ball Of paper
reading in aconstant roll, lie rarely, only In

lowed discussion, and Immediately upon the
conclusion Of one paper he jumped up aud
announced in concise, sharp terms that
"short paper would now be read by Mr..

conclusion that the person who has gone 10
the trouble Of preparing paper for such a
society as the Historical should know more
about the subject than those who, under
sudden inspiration, rise to discuss 1t.
Mr. Bancroft took lively interest In all
the papers, and they were all worthy of
attention for other reasons as well as for the
characteristic they presented In common
with Cleopatra-their "ln1nite variety"
