The clubbing of the Democrats
against the admission of Dakota to the
Union is beneath the dignity of States
men. If there is the sufficient popula-
ton, and the terms,,of admission are COM
piled with, nothing more is required,
and the territory should be admitted
without a word. Is Congress to come
down to the level of debating to peo-
pie what their politics should be before
they can secure their constitutional
rights? Enough Of this political CHI
chanery has been displayed by men who
should be above such acts. 1t lowers
them not only in the estimation of Amer
leans, but in the eyes OF the civilized
world.

has barely made beginning in the cam
paign which is to come this present

well satisfied with that sort of advertis-
ing, and they read it as revelation of
how their taxes are given TO a monopoly
without fair equivalent. The LIGHT
represents the people, and is advocating
the platform upon which Mr.. Callaghan
was elected Mayor. BY the way, why
don't the Times ask how much the
Light received for its advocacy Of that
gentleman at that time? And why does
it not ask Mr.. Callaghan to stick to the
platform regarding city progress, which
he so heroically endorsed little more
than year ago

The first grant for building rail
road in theg u hited States was made
in, 1850, when nearly 100000 acres
were given by Congress- toSthe State
Of Illinois Central RaiIroad. The
General Government received twice
the minimum price for alternate Sec
tons reserved along the line of the
road, and the Act granting the lands
made it obligatory on the Railroad
Company to pay certain percentage
Of its gross receipts to the State
government. This has enabled ILL
nois, which at the time was saved
the disgrace of repudiating its debts
by majority of only one vote in the
Legislature, to square accounts with
its creditors, and at present to pay
nearly all the expenses of the State
government. Up to 1861, only l2,-'
100000 acres Of the public domain
had been given to corporations, but
during the troublesome years subse-
quent to that time, millions upon
millions of acres of the public domain
were granted to railroads at every
session Of Congress until 172,OOO,OOO
acres, an area larger than that of
France and England combined, had
been given away. Under the present
Administration, portion Of this vast
domain has been declared forfeited
by the failure of the companies to
which it was granted to comply with
the terms of their agreement, and in
California alone over 100000 acres
have been restored to the public do
main and thrown open for settlement.
Bills have also been introduced in
Congress to forfeit lands claimed by
| the Northern Pacific and other roads,
and should they pass, as they certain
| ly ought to when it is shown that the
companies have not fulfilled theil
agreements with the Government
many more millions of acres will be
open for bona fide settlers.

The Portland Oregonian fathers
this yarn: A person who resides near
the line between Multnomah and
Clackamas counties, set trap short
time since in Multnomah county and
caught d coyote. When he saw the
brute in the trap it occurred to him
that il it had been set in Clackamas
county he could claim bounty Of $40
while this little countrywide not pay a
cent for scalps of any kind. After
musing on the situation while and
concluding that he could not be un-
truthful about the matter, happy
thought struck him. The bounty is
paid by Clackamas county for any
coyote killed within that county. So
the conscientious trapper seized the
chain Of his trap and dragged the
captive coyote across the line into
Clackamas county and then took a
club and beat his brains out, and was
thus enabled consclentiously to claim
the bounty. Hereafter he will set
his trap on the $40 side of the line, as
he don't want to take any chances of
straining his conscience. ..cs

81 The fiftieth Congress, which will mark
the beginning of the centenary of the Ameri-
can Constitution, will find the government
of the United States controlled by men with
ideas differing little in the abstract from
those who were in control at its inception
There has only been change of names Of
parties. Then there were the Federalists
and Tories in sympathy with Great Britain
and in favor of strong government; and the
Democrats in favor of government by the
people The successors of the Federalists
and Tories exist to-day in the Republican
party. The Democratic party of to-day is
the same Democratic party of 1857, made
firmer and strengthened by time and the
principles of Thomas jefferson. 1t stands
as it has always stood, by the Constitution of
the United States, the fundamental law un-
der which the first Congress met nearly a
hundred years ago. In the Executive Chair
of the nation sits Democrat, and the House
Of Representatives of the Fiftieth Congress,
the popular branch of the Government, will
have majority of Democratic members. In
the history of the constitutional Government
of the United States, covering nearly CEN
tury, the Democrats have been in complete
or partial control more than three-fourths of
the time, and at the end of the century are
still largely in control. The country has pros
pered, the constitution has been preserved.
The Democratic party lives and is as vigor-
GUS as it was during many dangerous periods
of its existence It has suffered defeats, but
undismayed has maintained its organization.
twill continue to live. Its mission is not
yet accomplished. Because we have suffered
a slight reverse in some parts of the country,
let no Democrat falter in his fealty to the
party. There is no reason for discourage
ment, but every reason to stand by the party
which has stood by the constitution since its
adoption. 1t is the only hope the people
have for good government.-Bee.

W A Chicago preacher, whose lofty
flights of oratory have often left him dangl-
ing in midair, was more earnest than usual
last Sunday. In speaking to his text-the
Ten Commandments-he paused for an in
stant, and then, lifting his voice to high
pitch and shaking one of his longest fingers
at the congregation, exclaimed: "You must
obey the laws; must obey the laws; Pm
damned if don't" This declaration excited
the laughter of more than one person in the
congregation; but the preacher was too much
absorbed in his sermon to notice anything
unusual.

It seems natural for Democratic organs to
charge that large section of the party is al
ways for sale, ''and cheap, too" We don't
believe it.-ToIedo Commercial.
Our squib does not carry the impression
that the persons bought were Democrats, and
the conclusion that it does is the CONNER
ciaps own. The riff-raff belong to no party,
but are to be purchased, and as the Repu bli-
cans were pretty well supplied with "boodle''
they took them in.
