ALABAMA srArEsMANsH1r.

Congressman Oates of Alabama, who
advocated "the leaving of Dakota out OF
the union until the people learned de-
mocracy," comes from a state well
schooled in bourbonism. He comes
from state which, according to the
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, can boast
of greater illiteracy among it's white peo-
pie, as we'll as blacks, than any other
state in the union.

Alabama cast only about one-third
more votes than Dakota in the recent
election, still Alabama is represented in
congress by two senators and eight repre-
sentatives, in the electoral college by ten
votes, while Dakota has no voice in the
election of president and no vote in
congress.
In Alabama, of the whites above 10
years of age, 25 per cent. cannot read and
write, while in Dakota only 22s per cent.
(the lowest of any state or territory), are
of this class.
Alabama, by it's legislature, elected a
United States senator recently-John T.
Morgan. The man thus elected is the
man who said few years ago that manu-
featuring was an injury to the state be-
cause the demand for labor in industrial
centres has tendency to increase the
pay of farm laborers.
What can Dakota or the north expect
from such an element?
It is not strange that members like
Springer, Cox, Mcdonald, McShane and
others from enlightened constituencies in
the north should at east desert their
southern allies and strike out boldly for
justice for the territories.

TIE secretary Of the interior has more
to do with the west than any other cabi-
net officer. The west should therefore
crystalize on proper candidate for this
position. It is not likely Iowa's fayorite
son, Allison, would desire to leave the
senate to accept cabinet position. Why
not, then, take Hon. John NJ. Thurston
Of Nebraska, chairman Of the last repub-
lican convention? He is fair repre-
sentative Of the progressive and aggres-

York and Pennsylvania combined. North
and South Dakota are at least equally
entitled to statehood with Rhode Island
and Delaware. These doll house states
have between them as many United
States senators as New York and Penn
sylvanian combined and it would take
twenty like them to make one Dakota.
Let us hear little more about injustice
in that quarter.

The dawn of statehood has arrived al

The Chicago Tines Washington cor.
respondent has got the Dakota question
down fine, as the following from his re-
port of the proposed democratic house
caucus illustrates:
Some of the democrats believe the politi-
cal complexion of the two halves Of Da-
kota differ SO much that state of South
Dakota could be carved out of the empire
territory that would be democratic.
The Times ought to advise it's cores
pondent to study the Dakota election re-
turns.

AN extra session of congress is not so
certain as the prospects few days ago
seemed to indicate. It will not be called
unless there is a universal demand from
all over the country. Dakota is the most
anxious, but-we are small part of the
United States-in fact only territory.

Bismarck weekly tribune., 1888-12-21

The amendments proposed by Con-
gressman Springer to his 'omnibus" bill
are satisfactory to the people of Dakota.
Now, if the democratic house will pass
the measure at an early day the demo-
cratic party will be relieved of much of
the odiam under which it went down to
defeat in November last. There is no
better time and no better way to make
partial reparation for the injustice heaped
upon Dakota than for the democrats in
congress to press the Dakota question to
successful issue in accordance with the
expressed desire of all Dakotans regard
less Of party. The st. Paul Globe, (dem.)
refers to this matter as follows: "The
democrats in the house need not delay
action on Dakota statehood measures to
learn whether the people out there want
one or two states. That was an open
question last year, but is not now. The
past month the democratic territorial
committee unanimously resolved in favor
Of division, and the democrats in both
sections are holding meetings to urge
the formation of two states. The re-
publicans are all pledged by their plat
form to the same course. There is an
unanimity on that point now in the terri
tory never before manifested on any pub
lie question. The current in that direc-
tion is too strong for prudent men in Da-
kota or Washington to attempt to move
against it.

It's Leading article is 'sFrom klamath to

pleasant ramblings all over the coast by
Charles 81. Shinn. Also illustrated is
an article on Hydraulic Mining by Irving
