Under the heading, ''What's in q
Name" the Minneapolis Journal says:
The people Of Dakota are unwilling to
part with the euphonious name the ter
ritory now bears, and il it were not for
division there would be no occasion to
discuss names. There is an objection,
however. to the clumsy prefix Of "North"
or South" and various ways to avoid
it hRge been suggested. One is to give
the name OF Dakota to the southern por.
tion, and find some other appropriate
name for the new state in the north !.
That would suit the south vol enough,
but the northern Dakotaisn5 do not
recognize any better right on the part Of
the southern half to that name than they
have themselves.
There is serious objection to prefix.
1t is clumsy, il is unnecessary. il is q
perpetual reminder of quarrel between
sections in which the contestants could
not agree and both took possession ol
the bone of contention and so labeled il
that each might recognize its share oi
the property. There should be some
agreement whereby such geograph-
ieal monstros;:ies as ''North" anG
"Sonth" Dakota may be avoided

The Fallacy of Protection.

Nashville American.
The laborer has been so long used
to hearing the argument of Republic

benefit, that many of them have had
to have the fallacy of it demonstrate

There are about700 of this class work.
ing as iron ore miners along the line
of the East Pennsylvania Railroad in
Pennsylvania. A dozen years ago
they were receiving 50 to 1925 per
day for their labor, and now they can
earn only 60 to So cents per day.
This ore which they mine is "pro-
tected" by tax of rs cents ton, and
the protectionists have sought to have
them believe that this tax was placed
on the ore to protect the miner, and
that if the Democratic party is tri-
umphant, and the Mills bill put into
operation, it would cut down the
miners wages! Under the fostering
care' of protection" the wages OF
this one class of workingmen have
been reduced from $500 per day to
60 cents, and Republicans get upon
the stump and with the greatest sOlic-
itude for the poor laborer, picture to
him the misery and want and squalor
that must follow tariff reduction!
Could anything be more presump,
tuous.
But these miners, who have voted
the Republican ticket for years, have
had their eyes opened by the existing

IT IS with a feeling much akin to
sadness that we pencil these last
words of farewell to the "grand old
party" 1t has been a long, hard
struggle with the miserable old sim
ner, but it is over. The g. o. p. is
now gasping in the last agonies of an
ignominous death, and soon will
draw the drapery of its funeral robes
around its hideous remains and lie
down in the cold, cold grave of de-
funct political parties. 1t is now
sweeping through the gates of eternal
dissolution. 1t is passing into the
shades of doom with its head bowed
down in shame, and its form black
ened in every lineament with with
its twenty-to1r years of corruption
and misrule. Even the flowers that
bloom over its grave will close their
petals with humility, the grass that
springs from the earth will put on a
sickly green, and the birds will cease
their glad songs and droop their
wings in passing over Its Wondering
dust. Next Tuesdays battle of the
ballots will seal forever the doom of
the republican party. When the polls
have closed on November sixth the
star-eyed goddess of democracy will
proudly wave her banner over the
heads of more than sixty millions of
people, and on its folds will be in
scribed the living principles of de-
mocracy which can never perish, and
which will perpetuate the party as
long as it clings to them. The nine
ty years existence of the democratic
party through sunshine and shadow,
through success and reverses, through
victories and defeats, has demonstrate
ed its capacity to live as long as civil
lied man inhabits the earth. 1t is SO
firmly grounded In the hearts OF the
people that time can never shake its
moorings. 1t has outlived every
other political party which has ever
raised an arm against it, and next
week will send the strongest and
stubbernest competitor it has ever
had toits appointed home in the quiet
shades Of political oblivion. Yes,
while it is glad farewell we say to
the G. 0. p, at the same time our
gladness rises to the supreme height
of sadness, and we could, without
much provocation, shed few tears,
which might possibly be detected
with first-class microscope. Ia, ia,
old fraud, good bye.
