The Democrats in Congress have at last
taken steps to recognize the claims of Dako-
ia to admission to the Union. Whether they
have taken such steps as will help fulfill the
aspirations Of the young commonwealth is
not SO certain. The committee, reporting
through Mr.. Springer, will report fayorably
to the House what is called an omnibus"
bill, TO enable the people of Dakota, Monta-
ma, Washington and New Mexico to form
State governments and come into the Union.
Dakota, with an estimated population, in
1887, of upwards of six hundred thousand,
has nearly as many people as the other three
territories combined, and the report of the
committee comedies that in point Of popula-
tioG, agriculture and mineral resources, and
in all other matters which constitute State,
Dakota is fully prepared for admission, and
that no other territory equally well fitted for
Statehood, has, heretofore, failed Of admis-
sion into the Union. The successive fail
ures of Dakota, Mr.. Springer's report sets
forth were caused by the efforts heretofore
made to have the territory divided. The
Democrats do not want two States created
in the rich and promising region now
occupied Dy Tie leFIltOIy, Decduoe
those States would surely be Republican.
But the committee do not urge this reason
by any means. They lay stress on the fact
that more than one-fourth Of the entire area
of the territory, is Indian reservation land,
and excluded from the jurisdiction of the
proposed State, and that the climate in the
northern portion, and the character of the
lands west Of the Missouri river are such as
to preclude the possibility Of dense popu-
lation in these regions, and finally conclude
that no imperative reason is seen why the
territory should be divided at the present
time, in view of the fact that the population
of the territory is only about one-third of the
average population of the States already in
the Union. Compared however, with the
other territories that the bill would admit
Montana is large and populous enough fol
three States.

CURRENT COMM EMIT
MILLS AND CLEVELAND.


The free admission of raw materials of
manufactures was the great protective reser-
walton in President Cleveand's tariff reform
message. What materials could be rawer
than coal and iron ore, which the Mills tariff
keeps among the dutiables?

The public has good reascn to view with
alarm the prospect of general contest be-
tween the railroads of the country and the
locomotive brotherhood Such a struggle
must evidently bring wide spread disaster,
for the railroads have come to be SO much
of necessity to existence that cessation of
their operations even for brief period will
affect almost every individual. The contro-
versy out of which this prospect grows is
one of the merits Of which it is difficult to
judge fairly, inasmuch as both sides have
motives for misrepresentation and exagger-
ated statements. There is this to be said
however in favor of the Locomotive Broth
erhood, namely, that they are one of the
most intelligent labor organizations in the
country, that their general course in the past
has been conservative and that their ten
dency has been to seek settlement of dis
putes by negotiation rather than by strikes.
These facts raise a presumption in their
favor in the present controversy.

The First Symptoms

OF all Lung diseases are much the same:
feverishness, loss of appetite, sore
throat, pains in the chest and back,
headache, etc. In few days you may
be well, or, on the other hand, you may
be down with Pneumonia or I" galloping
Consumption. Run no risks, but begin
Immediately to take Ayers Cherry
Pectoral.
Several years ago, James Birchard, of
Darien, Conn, was severely i'll. The
doctors said he was in Consumption,
and that they could do nothing for him,
but advised him, as last resort, to try
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine, two or three months, he
was pronounced a well man. His health
remains good to the present day.
J. S. Bradley, Maiden, Mass, writes
"Three winters ago took severe cold,
which rapidly developed into Bronchitis
and Consumption. / was so weak that
could not sit up, was much emaciated,
and coughed necessarily. l consulted
several doctors, but they were power
less, and all agreed that l was in Con-
sumption. At last, friend brought me
bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
From the first dose, / found relief.
Two bottles cured me, and my health
has since been perfect"

way and say just what they think. Ii
they have really reached the conclusion
that the common people are no good, that
the time has arrived in the history Of this
country when the fundamental belief that
''all men are born free and equal" may be
successfully denied-is An insult to the
cultured and wealthy class-why, that is
an extremely interesting fact, and we
shall regard the reception Of the new doc
trine with considerable curiosity, but, We
confess, withouts particle of fear as to the
result.
The Republican platform illustrates this
novel phase Of politics. 1t announces
determination to lift the tariff higher
rather than to lower it. That, Of course.
would make the cost Of living more expen-
sive. You must pay more for the necsssar-
les of life and manage to get along without
any of its comforts. The large dealers are
to be protected. The business Of the coun-
try is to be placed in the hands of the few,
while small dealers who have made fair
profit, scrapsd sogsther few thousands,
moved into better house, bought piano
for their daughters, sent their boys to col
lege, must give way, get out, 20 into bank
ruptcy or back into the ranks Of the day
laborer, where they belong. Still, when
they sell their furniture and remove to the
tenement, they are to understand distinctly
that no sheer is intended" This Is to be
monopolists' government, and as they
are not monopolists but only poor folk,
they must accept their fate with the same
cheerful faith in Providence with which
the ''trusts" look over their cosey bank
account and thank the Lord and the Re
publican party that they are not as other
men are.
The Democratic platform ia in strong
contrast with all this. II is the platform
of the common people, who are rated by
our contemporary as "the worst elements
in this country" though mo sneer is In
tended" IL demands On Immediate re-
duction of the taxes because the govern
ment is already rich enough, and for that
matter, the poorer you keep it the better,
1t proposes larger market for American
products, because that will give new i'm
pulse to business and steady employment
to the working classes. 1t believes IN
money and wants every man to have some.
1t does not believe in poor multitude and
a rich few, but in fair distribution OF
chances, so that every body who has the
ability may get his share.
The people will make their choice be-
tween these two platforms in November.

paign that will be made for the Democratic
local ticket, and that is an excellent kind of
work for the Republicans to avoid. The Repub-

This reminds Us of another Of our Repub-

The pertinent remarks of the New York
Herald on this paragraph apply so aptly to
the efusion first quoted above of the young
would-bs aristocrat of the IateRigeneer,
that we give them herewith without more
ado:
The Democratic party, as is well known,
represents very largely the men who get
their living by the sweat Of their brows.
They areall dumped together, however, in
one pile rs worthless rubbish, ane, with q
supercilious shrug of the shoulders, stigma
TIED az ''the worst elements in this eoun-
try" A fair paraphrsse Of the above state
ment, therefore, would read something
like this:-We, the Republicans, are the
gentlemen of this country, and the gov
eramsnt should be run in our favor and for
our protection; you Democrats are the fell
lows in shirt sieeves-the greasy mechan-
les, with your petty labor organizations
and your pesteriog demand for higher
wages and your horrible strikes; you are

ISSUES LIVING AND DEAD.

We wish what the Mtelhgeacer says go
boldly in the first column below were true,
but beyond this bare assertion we have
yet seen nothing in our neighbours col
umns to base the hope upon, and very
much fear the true Republican campaign
is contained in the second column. How
ever this may be it is an amusing parallel:
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1888-07-04

AFTER waving the bloody shirt and
descanting on HARRIsoN's ancestry our
issueless contemporary, the EHtelhgencer,
declares. as gravely as one so young can,
that the Chinese question is dead issue.
We advise it to read the Republican plat
form, which doesn't seem to think the
Chinese question a dead issue. And we
would call to its attention the fact that
President CLEVELAND has just concluded
a treaty whose objsct is to stop Chinese
immigration, the operation Of which has
been postponed by the Republican Sem
ate for the very plain reason that its opera
ton would make the Democratic admins
tration too popular on the Pacific Coast.
There are people, notably wOrkingmen, in
various localities who have to compete with
the ''rat-eaters" who think the Chinese
question the liveliest kind Of an issue.

WEST VIRGINIA AND INDIANA

A lengthy dispatch in the New York
World, from Washington, tells us that the
Republican managers have given up all
hope Of carrying New York for HARRI-
SON. ut is conceded" says the World
correspondent, that neither HARRISON
nor any candidate, except BLAINE, could
hold the great Irish and Catholic Demo
cratic vote Of New York which went to
Blaine in 1884. That vote was variously
estimated st Chicago as from so, 900 to TO-
600. 1t was very much doubted il the
tariff issue could bring within 10000 Of
even the last named figure to the Republic
can candidate.
It is admitted that the independent vote
Of 1884 for CLEVELAND will not be appre-
ciably lessened this year. Such votes as
were east simply against BLAINE, the man,
in 1884, and will go back to the Republic
can candidates this year, will, it is held,
be folly Offset by the floating vote which
an Administration can control. 1t is feared
that the Prohibition vote will be greater
this fall than in any election, State or Ma
tiOnal, before. Therefore they admit that
the chances are against q Republican plu-
raiity in New York, and it costs an enor-
nous sum Of money to fiercely contest
Presidential election in the Empire State. +"
Having cast aside New York as hopeless
" Democratic without BLAINE rs the Re
publican candidate the Republican mana
gers turn 10 Indiana and West Virginia as
more likely fields for ''bOodls" campaign.
Says the Worlds correspondent
In addition to the BLAINE vote Of 1884 HARRI-
SON needs only nineteen electoral votes
Indiana has fifteen. The electoral vote Of Vir-
Riuia or Of North Carolina, or of West Virginia,
or even of Florida, added 10 that of Indiana,
