DELUSIVE FIGURES.
Gov. Moonlight Corrects ErrOne-
Gus Figures Regarding the Pop
uIatiOn of Wyoming.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-Gov. Moon
light, of Wyoming, has submitted to the
secretary of the interior supplemental
on the population of that territory. In
explanation of his purpose i'll making
this report, the governor says: "The
population of Wyoming seems at pres
emf to be agitating the minds of the
press of the territory, our delegate in
congress and many of the people, and
as from recent publications and quota
tions herewith inclosed, it will be seen
that the reports of the governor of
1SS7-S are quoted as authority by those
seeking to make the population larger.
We have deemed it proper in justice to
myself and for the sake of the truth, to
make this report He then quotes from
reports of the governors of the territory
for the last several years. showing the
then estimated population: 1855, Gov.
Warren. $1,000; 1856. GOV. Warren, 75.-
600; 1887, Gov. Moonlight, $1,000: 1888,
Coy. Moonlight, $1,000. His own esti-
mates, the governor says, were based
upon former reports and inquiries
among the people, as no census had
been taken since 1880. He is satisfied
that his previous estimates were too
high. He bases his judgment upon the
number of votes cast for delegate in
November. This vote was 1S,00S, from
which the governor estimates the "real
population to be about 5000.

TERRITORIAL ADMISSION

When congress reassembleS after the
holidays the first business to be taken
up will be consideration of the vari-
Gus bills relating to the admission OF
the territories. The territorial fight
will then be on in full force and vigor,
with the prospect of continuing in I'M
abated fury until the speakers gavel
falls at midnight OH the Sd of March,
when the Fiftieth congress will have
passed into history. The members will
go home during the holidays. and it is
safe to predict that two out of every
three will return to Washington with
carefully prepared speech on the
subject of admitting territories as states
into the Union. Those who are fortu-
nate enough to get the speakers eye
within the remaining six weeks of the
session will speak their pieces out loud
right there on the floor of congress.
The others will spread theirs Oh the
Record for home consumption in the
next canvass.
AS much as we would like to see it
done, the GLOBE is not sanguine of the
passage by this congress OF any bill for
the admission of any one of the terri
tories. We think we see obstacles al
ready in the way. We believed that a
sufficient number of Democrats had
made up their minds to unite with the
Republicans in support of a measure to
divide Dakota, and to pass bill for
the admission of the southern part of
the territory, and an enabling act for
North Dakota. We were equally conf
dent that arrangements had been made
whereby Montana and Washington
would have been admitted. But, I'M
fortunately, evidences of partisan Bit
terness on the Republican side of the
house are so clearly perceptible, we
fear the whole territorial bucket
is going to be kicked over. The
Republican opposition to the adj
mission of New Mexico IS the clab that
will kill territorial admission this ses-
sion. The Democrats have made up
their minds that if the other territories
are to come in, then New Mexico must
march in right along with the rest. The
only objection that can be urged against
the admission of New Mexico is that it
will probably add two more senators to
the Democratic column. 1t is unfortu-
nate that the Republican leaders in con-
gress should have raised this quib-
BILE over New Mexico at a time
when party lines were about to
to be obiterated on this question.
This disposition of the Republicans in
congress to revive party spirit will
logically arouse it on the other side of
the house, with the result of blocking
legislation on the question of admitting
the territories, not only in this congress,
but possibly in the next. If an intense
party feeling is excited on this subject
in this congress, it will be sure to re-
appear in the next congress. The
parties will be SO evenly divided in the
lower house as to make it almost im-
possible for the majority to push
through any measure in high-handed
way. Therefore it would be eminently
proper for the Republicans in this con-
gress to approach discussion of this
question in a spirit of forbearance and
Cancellation, rather than in one of AFRO
gance because of their supposed strength
in the next congress.

A HIT All HURON.
President Loucks, of the Farmers
Alliance, Talks a Bit.

To the Editor of the Globe.
My attention has been called to dis
patch from Huron in your issue OF the
18th. L am very glad indeed to learn
that the good people of Huron are
''kicking mad" and will suggest that
they kick the officials who were guilty
of insulting their guests, rather than
the guests who were insulted. Huron
is the only city in Dakota that has not
officially welcomed the Dakota Farmers
alliance when tney met in the cities,
Watertown and Mitchell, in addition.
giving us banquetS. No attention would
have been paid to this lack of courtesy
were it not for the fact that the. Dakota
horticultural society, meeting in an
anteroom of the same hall on the same
day. were officially welcomed and given
the freedom of the city. Perhaps no i'll
suit was intended, but we would have
been very dull, indeed, to have taken it
any other way, A. Davis, who APP
peared as representative of the city OF
Huron, had to pass through our hall,
where were assembled nearly 800 dele
gates, in order to gain admission to the
session of the d. III. A, where there
were less than one dozen delegates as
sembled. There can be no question

turned shook hands with him, invit-

he remained a short time and
passed out. Delegates to the

have very good reason for believing that
the insult was intended, as many mem
bers of the alliance felt that there was
considerable hostility manifested
against us in the city of Huron. Per
haps Huron thought that when they
had received the Granger vote for the
capital, ''the lemon had been squeezed
and they had no further use for us.
Time will tell. Perhaps there may be
another vote. l am proud of the alli-
ance and the position | hold in it, and
will always resent an insult to it much
quicker than one to myself. One thing
is certain, unless Huron apologies pub
licly for the insult, it will stand small
chance of securing any fay0rs from the
Dakota Farmers alliance. Yours truly,

ITAsCA Is KNOCKING
For Admission to Equal Rights
With Other Counties.

tn the Editor of the Globe.
! GRAND RAPIDS. Minn., Dec. 21.-Be-
fore many days the twenty-sixth session
of the Minnesota legislature will have
/ convened, and situated as we are here
lin this unorganlZed territory of the
great state of Minnesota. we feel it our
important duty to call attention to the
5members of the legislature that Itasca
county has now reached the age of its
existence when she comes knocking at
the state capitol for organization. Itasca
y county is one Of the most important
counties in the state. Matters are so
situated in our county that organization
is necessary for the benefit of the resi-
dents. The only drawback to having
an organization is the influence of
the monied men and corporations of
Minneapolis and st. Paul. There is at
present law which only admits the
levy of mill per acre for taxes. These
corporations and wealthy men who
have gobbled up every good piece OF
timbered land or land where rich mines
are likely to be produced are working
strongly against the organization of the
county because they think their taxes
would be increased. 1t has been given
out to our people by these money kings
that they would spare no wealth to pre-
vent bill to organize to go through
the legislature. or even if a bill of this
character should pass the legislature it
would 5e killed by the governor when it
reached him. The success of ltasca
county lies in the matter of organiza-
ton. Higher education is followed by
greater enterprise, and greater enter
prise naturally and necessarily by more
rapid development. Home rule is one
of the admirable features of Repub-
lican advocacy, and for this reason the
people of ltaSca county most reasonably
expect legislation for their organization.
Our sister county tried for several years
before organization was granted. 1t is
to be hoped that the members of the
coming Legislature will withstand the
wishes of non-residentS and give US the
privilege to organize. CITIZEN.

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION.

The new South is getting to the front
rapidly. Georgia has appropriated $780,
600 for the opening up of a bureau OF
immigration, which is to advertise the
resources and attractions of the state,
and a movement has been initiated in
Alabama to induce all the legislatures
south of the Potomac to make liberal
appropriations for the encouragement
of immigration. Capital and new blood
will inspire the South to greater efforts
in the march of progress and develop
ment.

A Colored Republican Club Pre-
sents Him With an Address.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Sherman was this evening serenaded at
his home on Franklin square by the re-
Gently organized John Sherman league
(colored), of the district of Columbia.
An address on behalf of the league was
read and presented by its president,
thanking the senator for his great and
unremitting services on behalf of the
colored race. They protested against
the recognition of protection Democrats
in the South by their elevation to high
Offices under the incoming admins
tratlon and called upon the American
people to protect their brothers in GER
tain sections in the South in the eXer-
else of their constitutional rights as
freemen. Senator Sherman III response
said: 1.-The problem of securing to you
the peaceful enjoyment of equal rights
and privileges is the most'diffienlt one
In American politics. l have taken
part in all the measures that have
brought about the great change in your
condltiOn-the most remarkable in
modern history. l have no regrets for
anything L have done to emancipate
you, to educate you and to clothe You
with all the legal rights of American
citizens. So far as the constitution and
the laws Of our country can do it you
now stand before me invested with
EVERY RIGHT OF FREEMEN.
In all the Northern states and in
some of the Southern states they are
freely conceded and openly enjoyed by
you. If. in some Southern states,
these rights are denied to you, you
must remember and make allowances
for the opinions and prejudices of ages,
and for your enforced ignorance, the
necessary result of slavery. But it is
certain that these prejudices will disap-
pear as you acquire education and prop
erty, and that you can win by your
moderation and good conduct, respect
and confidence of the sons of those who
held you or your ancestors as slaves.
If you suffer injustice under the
shadow of the past, remember
that never before in human history
did an emancipated race or class make
such progress in so short time as you
have DONE" Senator Sherman eX-
pressed the hope and belief that the
next congress would pass uniform
election law to secure to every one the
right to vote, and have that vote
counted, but he told them that congress
could not interfere in local elections. A
state, or part OF the people OF q state,
may do injustice to its citizens, but this
does not authorize congress to interpoSe
military force. If injustice is done,
you must not resort to mob vio-
lence or crime. You must appeal
to the law and public opinion.
In any resort to force the advantage
is fearfully against you. Your hope is
in the moral conviction. growing

you reacts on your oppressors. 1t was
for them, the speaker said, to show the
untruth of the charge that they were
not fitted for the duties of citizenship,
and that in those states where they
were numerous they would establish
negro rule and endanger civilization.
In conclusion, he said that their labor
was the most valuable commodity in the
South, and would in time demand for
them comfort, home, independence and
civil and political rights.

SOMETHING ABOUT SAMOA.
President Cleveland Gives the
Senate Particulars of tho Ger
man merican Controversy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The presi-
dent to-day transmitted to congress
additional correspondence touching the
controversy between the United States
and Germany regarding the interior
ence by the German government with
the business interests of American citi-
Zens residing in Samoa. The CORE
spondence is very volumin0us and goes
into great detail of statement. 1t covers
the period intervening between the date
at which the prior correspondence ceased
and the present time. There are us
Enclosures. making in all upwards of
1000 pages of manuscript. 1t is shown
that during the internal troubles the
German consul, to protect German busl-
ness interests there, asserted authority
and became in fact. the only one on the
island clothed with authority which
was respected. In the dispute between
Germany and American residents com
plant is made that justice was not
done the Americans, and specific
cases are cited. Extensive cores
pondence between the various repre-
sentatives of the two governments fol-
lowed, looking to restoration of the
native government, which during the
internal troubles has not been re-
spected. Mr.. Bayard proposed that the
Samoan government should consist of
the king, the vice king and the three
foreign ministers to be chosen from the
nationalitieS of the three treaty-making
powers. This was met by German
proposition to have one executive Off
Ger to the king, to be selected from the
nation having the largest interests i'll
Samoa. This question, according to
the correspondence, is still pending.
Under date of Nov. 81, 1888, Secretary
Bayard wrote to Count Arco, the Ger
man minister here, that he had in
formed the American minister at Ber-
lin and American consul at Samoa that
every endeavor was to be made to avoid
friction between the German and
American citizens in Samoa, and in
case of conflict the dispute should be
decided in either Berlin or Washing
ton. Under the same date Mr.. Bayard
wrote to Mr.. Coleman. giving CONVEX
sation with Count Arco. in which he
stated that German vessels had been
ordered to Samoa, as the American
vice consul at Apia was taking sides in
the disputes between the natives.

Although the senate has named Jan.

entail quarters that it will be worried

rays of coming power, thinks that if a
special session is had it will not be be-

would be in April or early May, in
