WHAT IT MEANS 70 DAKOTA.

The recent Republican victory hal
. mole vital meaning to the greal
territory Of Dakota than to any othel
portion Of the union. With the Dem
ocSats in power and the Solid South il
command there was no hope Of equa'
and exact justice for her. With greater
area and wealth than almost any single
state in the south, she had no vote
upon the floors of congress in either
branch. But beginning with the con.
gress just elected she will have six
members Of the lower house and four
senators, equally divided between the
two sections, and with that power will
command something near justice from
the nation.
Instead Of 5000 expended upon the
upper Missouri she will have 100000,
or more, for her navigable streams;
postofices and custom houses will in
time be erected in her leading cities;
her people will choose their own officers,
from highest to lowest, and an era of
real solid prosperity will dawn for that
long-oppressed people.
And now that it il all over, does it
not seem impossible that political in
justice in the American republic could
have taken this form7 And 10 it not
remarkable that the Southern members
OF congress should have been the men,
of all others, to stand in the door and
drive back 4 people a. intelligent, as
progressive, % the people Of the great
territory?
Dakota has suffered long, but a few
months more will place her a. twins in
the list Of states-the equal of the
proudest in the land-Minneapolis
Tribune.
But this is not all the good that
comes to Dakota people through state.
hood. Our school lands may then be
converted into cash and the money ex-
pended in maintaining our already
superb system Of public schools. This
will decrease the direct taxation nov
necessary for educational purposes. The
Democracy made q special issue Of the
tariff in the late campaign, and en-.
deavored to convince the people Of the
west that they were being robbed
through the protective system. just
how ear the Democracy came ia
making the people believe the "robbel
baron" story may be aseertained by
examining the great Republican ma
jorities in the west. Now we venture
to say that il, a. the Democracy say,
''the tariff is a tax" the burden Of that
tax is not one-hundreth part as great a,
10 the direct school tax which the PEG
pie Of the territories are called upon to
pay every year. Why didn't the Dem
ocracy show a disposition to wipe on,

ing any electoral votes by admitting
the territories. .
Another good result in the territories
will be the certain increase in values IN
all kinds of property. Homo rule

manency. Investors will put their

deferred by the fear that its safety may
be jeopardized by a partisan congress

Thompson, secretary of the Democratic
congressional committee. told a Star

the Democrats would certainly haye a
majority Of mi or three in the next

formation, elected Fisher in Michigan,
Simmons in North Carolina and no less
than three members in West Virginia.
He thought also that a Democrat had
been elected in Mr.. Taulbee's district in
Kentucky by ar increased majority.

CIVIL v REFORM.

The INTER.O OCEAN offers the predic-
ton that Gen. Harrlson's policy will
come nearer the mark of genuine civil
service reform than that of any pre-
vious administration. Under Garfield
and Arthur the civil service law was
but little more than an experiment; it
was a new measure, yet its provisions
were honestly tested and were just be.
ginning to bear fruit when a political
accident, based upon an apparent ma
jority for Cleveland of 1047 in New
York, turned the government over to
the Democracy, the party of spoils.
Under MI. Cleveland the civil service
law soon became a stencil in the nos.
triIs Of the people. While pretending
to be its friend. he proved himself to be
its open enemy. Honest and compe-
tent officials were removed without
cause to make place for active parti.
sans, many Of whom hsye shown them
selves to he both dishonest and in
competent and a great many more too
incompetent to be successfully dis
honest.
There will be no hypocrisy or false
pretense in Gen. Harrison's interpreta.
ton of the civil service law; nor will
the country be afflicted with a dose OF
nauseous buncome about Offensive
partisanship." Republicans will be
given preference in the u~nclassifed SER
vice when changes are made, but there
will be no "indecent haste in regard to
removals. Thousands Of Democrats
now in office will be permitted to serve
out their terms. Unwarranted assaults
upon the personal character and official
fitness of reputable and competent men
will not be tolerated. Libelous charges
for the purpose Of influencing removals
and appointments will be discounte.

 Pitcher Weidman, of the Torontos, expects to be back in the league next sea- son. George claims that he is not back number by any means, and his work against the Hams during the last games of this season bears out his statement.
 The Philadelphia and Boston clubs take long chances on Thompson and Richardson, as the one was troubled with rheumatism all season and the other had his ankle so badly injured that it may not be strong enough for steady work next season.
 During the season just closed the nu m Der of runs batted in by the members of the Boston team on the home grounds by clean hits, sacrifice hits to the infeld or by long hits to the outfield were as follows:-Nash, |, 4S; Johnston, 40; Kelly, 33; Brown, 32; Hornung, 22 Morrill,, 15; Wise, + Ray and Quinn, 12 each; Clarkson, 10; Madden and Sutton, each; Radbourn and Higgins, 3 each; Klusman, Hines and Tate, ? each; Conway and Burdock, 1 each.
