THE QUESTION OF DAKOTA.


! Tie election of Gen. Harrison will
carry joy throughout every section Of
the nation, but nowhere within this broad
land will there be such heartfelt and
sincere rejoicing as that which finds ex-
preston throughout the length and
breadth Of the great territory of Dako-
ia. People more happily situated can
scarcely sympathize with those who
have been compelled year. after year to
beg for, the commonest political rights
and privileges, and year after year have
seen those rights and privileges ignored
until they grew heartsick with hope de-
ferred.
They have been deprived Of the right
to elect all the chief officers of their COM
monwealth, and have had foisted upon
them for the past three years class of
men who would never be chosen by the
popular voice for the most insignificant
offices in the gift of the people.
They have seen their capital converted
into public mart where positions of
trust were exchanged for political serv-
ices by an insignificant minority hated
by the great mass Of the people and held
in contempt by every thoughtful citizen.
They have been tie prey of faction
of carpet-bag Adventures from every
section of the union, who, under the pro-
lection of the name of Democracy, have
parceled out the position of emolument,
and divided the substance of the people
among gang of Irresponsible, non-tax-
paying heelers.
They have seen this great, fertile, pro-
gressive territory being gradually de-
serted'by it's most valued and valuable
citizens, who had grown weary of waiting
for Justice, and either returned to their
old homes in the east OF sought more
favored locations in the far west.
They have seen their children growing
to manhood and. womanhood without
education, or have been compelled to
spend their last dollar to provide schools,
while an empire of unused lands lay
scattered around them awaiting only the
touch OF statehood to make it bear fruit
thatswould open the doors of free learn
ing to every child in the territory.
They have seen honest "tenderfeet"
robbed, by system and swindled by vote
by constituencies rings of raseals who
Systematically brought to bear all the
enginery Of wrong upon unsuspecting
victims.
They have seen their courts turned in
to machines for aiding and abetting the
strong to rob and plumber the weak;
judges held in position by all the power
of the nation who could not have been
chosen to the office of justice of the peace
in the most ignorant district in south
ern state, and have begged in vain upon
their knees for their removal.
This indictment might be prolonged
indefinitely, but may all be summed up
in the one pregnant sentence Dakota
has been denied statehood, and her splen-
did people disfranchised: The new repub-
lican administration and the new con-
gress will have a duty to perform and
that will be to see to it that two Dako-
tas, Montana and Washington territories
be at once admitted free and indepen-
dent sovereign. states. of the American

The success of the republican national
ticket means two Dakotas, and their adj
mission, and also the admission of Mon
tana and Washington territories. The
eastern papers are all advocating our
claims. The article in another column
from the Minneapolis Tribune is fair
sample of the work being done by them
for us.

A correspondent from Yankton to the
Chicago Tribune in figuring on the
future possibilities of South Dakota
politicians afteradmission, says the old
time servants of the party must take a
back seat to make room for younger tim
ber-'saplings," as it were. The AD-
vERTIsER does not agree with this cor
respondent, and will state its reasons at
the proper time.
While others are helping Mr.. Harrison
select his cabinet, the ADVERTISER begs
leave to submit the name of Hon. John
M. Thurston of Omaha for place in
close proximity to the White House.
Mr.. Thurston is self-made man, an able
lawyer, staunch republican, one of the
most prominent men west Of the Missou-
ri river, and the pride of Omaha. Does
the ADVERTISER hear second to this
nomination?
Sturgis advertiser. (Sturgis, Dakota [S.D.]) 1887-1???, 1888-11-15

No newspaper west of Chicago did
more to promote the republican cause
than the Omaha Republican. Under the
able management Of Cadet Taylor, it
takes front rank with the metropolitan
journals Of the day, politically and
otherwise.

gagged in making observations OF a

the usual protection from the eyes
in order To make better OK

to the action of the light for about four
minutes. Nothing abnormal was noticed
following this exposure until about four
hours subsequently when, on awakening
from a sound sleep, he suffered from
acute pain in and about the eyes,
great intolerance OF light, and iu-
ability to sleep. The patients own
statement was 81 am stone blind. !"
Five days after the accident he was
still suffering from acute pain and dread
Of light, which was overcome sufficiently
to permit an examination by ID per

surfaces of both cOronm were affected.
The right was dotted ell over with small
definite Ulcers. The left had six ulcers
arranged in pairs OF three rows disposed

The ophthalmoscope revealed nothing
abnormal. Under appropriate treatment
he finally completely recovered.

Last night tow for Baltimore of nine
schooners and two barges, which left in
tow of the tugs Thomas a. Balm and
Martha Helen, met with a serious mis-
hap in Hampton Roads. While the tow
was passing the schooner Abbot W.
Lewis, from Newport News to Boston,
with coal, lying at anchor, the schooner
+. K. Hart, of the tow, ran into her,
sustaining serious damage to spars and
rigging and carrying away the iib-
boom of the Abbott w. Lewis
This had the effect of disarranging
the tow, the lines being cast off
to allow tie barges and schOoners astern
to pass the anchored schooner with
safety. After some time spent IN pick
ing up the vessels and rearranging the
tow start was again made. This time,
owing to the slipping or parting of
line, the schooners Chase, Julia Hopkins,
and George Taulane became detached
and were left behind. They lay at an
Choir in the Roads all night, and to-day
the Julia Hopkins and Chase came up to

day for repairs and her captain noted
