BISMARCK, Dak., Nov. 34.-Among
the latest developments with regard
to the prospective admission OF
Dakota into the union IL the state
ment Of prominent politician In
Washington that Il will be i'm
possibIe To do anything for Dakota
until the Oklahoma bill II disposed
of. A citizen of this city addressed
n letter TO q congressman asking
why the Democrats should not ac-
cent the inevitable and act upon the
Dakota matter next month. In that
way the Democrats could have the
credit Of admitting the territory and
this wuuld 60 far toward building up
the Democratic party In Dakota.
The hill for the admission of South
Dakota having already passed the
senate, this action would permit the
southern half Of the territory TO be-
come a state within q few months,
and by passing an enabling act for
North Dakota two states would be
aided 10 the union long before the
most hopeful have expected.
In reilly to this letter the congress
man said that there was little hope
of acting on the Dakota question
until the meeting Of the next con-
gress, as the hill for the formation
OI the territory OF OklahOms has
been given precedence on the calen-
dar, and its friends will not consent
to having Il set back for any other
territorial matter. He says further,
that In his opinion the division OF
Dakota into two states IL doubtful,
even 10 the Republicans have bare
majOrity In the house, ss the eastern
members are jealous Of the growing
power OF the west and will not con-
sent to giving to Dakota twice -
much power In the United states

eastern states.

New York Tribune.
The Kansas farmer has this year
proved himself second aud
mivhier Atlas. II the state ever
changes her coat Of arms the new
crest should show the Kansas
farmer supporting the world on his
shoulders. His potent alchemy has
transformed the rich black soil into
millions Of bushels Of golden grain,
which IL now going forth to feed the
world.
AtchisOu Champion:
According to the count as pub
lished In the State journal on We'd
nesdAy General HarrisOn's plurality
In Kansas was 1881. IL seems,
however, from the Journal Of
Thursday, that the returns from
Grant and Morton counties had not
been received at that time and, OF
course, were not included In the
figures given. The official count
now, including all the returns, as
announced by Assistant Secretary
uf state Cavanaugh. makes Harri-
sons plurality sO.sT2. and Humph-
rey's plurality 10 TS.Ol2. This makes
Kansas the banner Republican state.
