SENATOR SPooNER objects to the ad-
mission of any more large States like
Texas, because of the undue political
preponderance they have or may
have in Congress. Texas with her
"solid Democracy" and important
chairmanships is the frightful exam
pie which he cites in illustration of
his argument. Therefore he would
not admit Dakota as a whole, but in
parts. 1t strikes us that this is not
good Republican politics. If Dakota
is admitted as two States of course il
means gain of four Senators and an
increased representation IN the House,
but the chances are that even with q
Republican speaker to appoint the
committees, the two new States would
cut comparatively an unimportant
figure. Why not offset the imperial
sway of Texas with another imperial
domain in the Northwest? In order
to establish adue political equilibrium
Dakota should by all means come in
as one State.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND returned
three pension bills TO Congress yoster-
day with reasons for their disapproval.
They are reasons that will strike any
business man as being sensible and
sound but the President will no
doubt be abused for this action all the
same. Campaign capital must be had,
and it is not seldom compounded Of
very poor material.

IF We ARE TO Judge by the char
acfer Of the addresses delivered last
evening in commemoration of the
emancipation of the colored race, the
work of emancipation is not yet com
plete; but we very much question the
expediency of casting an ominous
shadow over their future or sowing
among them the seeds of discomfort.
Despite the alleged inability of the
colored people to vote in some dis
tiicts of the South and notwithstand-
ing the race preiudices that still crop
out not only in that section, but
almost everywhere, the general con
dltion of the freedmen is infinitely
superior to what il ever was before
and with few exceptions they have
equal opportunities of education
and self-support with the whites.
The problem will work itself
out satisfactorily in the end,
though in some instances il may
be q long process. There is no oc-
easiOn for impatience, and certainly
none for seditious agitation. Sooner
or later the solid South" will be
broken and the coiored people will
then find out how much their condi-
tion has been bettered by change Of
political masters, Their proper

WASHINGTON, APRIL II, 1883.

THE ADOPTION OF the resolution in
troduced in the House yesterday by
Mr.. wilkins of Ohio is something
more than the declaration of an
opinion on the part of that body that
the Secretary of the Treasury can
apply the surplus to the redemption
of bonds under existing law. Ac-
cording TO this resolution the Sundry
Civil act of 1881 conferred and con-
tinues all the authority that the Sec
Tetary requires in the premises. Con-
sequently there is no need of further
legislation on the subject Conse-
quently the Senate's Bond Purchase
bill is superhuous and the action Of
the House clearly indicates that this
measure is done with.
But il was Mr.. Beck's silver amend
mcnt which did it.
Not that the House is opposed to
silver on general principles, or even
specifically under proper circum-
stances, but it objects decidedly to
prcclpitating it as an issue into the
Presidential canvass just at this
particular time. So the introduction
and passage of Mr.. Wilkins's resolu.
tion may be regarded as legislation of
highly prudential and diplomatic
character. 1t relieves Mr.. Cleveland
and the House both from a dilemma
the President from the necessity of
disappearing the bill, which he could
hardly fail to do unless his views on
the silver question have materially
changed, and the House from the dis
agreeable necessity of passing it over
the Executive veto, or, at best, be-
coming involved in an unpleasant

THE REIGN OF EMPEROR FREDERICK
is drawing to close, and already has
the Crown Prince, his son, been in
vested with the powers and honors
of the regency. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the young man, being by
education soldier and of an impul-
sive, ambitious temperament, will
not care to follow in the conservative
footsteps of his father and grand
father, but we can rest assured that so
long as Bismarck retains supremacy
at court, the Empire will not be per-
mitted to drift into reckless, mill
tary policy. to the disturbance of the
peace of the continent. If the dis
turbance comes, it will come from
without. Should Boulanger gain the as
tendency which he covets, it will
come from France, and thanks to the
Chancellors unfailing foresight, it
will find Germany quite MS well pre-
pared as when Napoleon III. intro
duced his son to the baptism of fire
i'll 1871. Still, the death of the En-
peror Frederick at what is undoubt-
edly a critical juncture in continental
affairs will send an ominous tremor
through Europe, and it may require a
higher degree of diplomacy and cour-
age on Bismarck's part than even he
has yet exhibited to hold his youth
ful protege in check and keep the
peace.
