A CHANCE FOR THIEVES.


My neighbor's house was robbed last night
wish ii had been mine;
Should thieves break in dozen times,
Be sure I'd not rerine.
From top to toe my wife has stored
The house with 0ric-d-5rac::
The halls are filed with China jars,
The walls with tile and plaque.
j scarce have room to turn around.
So many statues stand
In bisQue and marble. bronze and brass,
About on every hand.
But then. of course. do not want
The thieves themselves to choose;
I'd like TO give a hint as to
Just what want TO lose.
First, just let them take that monster vase
Which stands there by the door;
I'm tired of tripping over i;
And falling on the floor.
Without a single pang I'd part
With seven China pugs.
With goggling eyes, that take their ease
On seven Smyrna rugs.
And should lose that tapestry,
Iwouldn't care a rush:
Nor this monstrosity in silk,
That other one in plush.
And cheerfully I'd say Goodbye"
To those bronze knights and lords
Who fercely frown and threaten me
With their uplifted swords.
And if the thieves would clear my walls
OF card and screen and plaque,
The obligation would be one
ineyer could nav back
The peacock feathers, match safes, fans
All real japanese:
And suits of armor. 1 wish those
Obliging thieves would sieze.
A smpering shepherdess or two,
Their grinning shepherd mates,
And fifty other things in bisque,
With scores of metal plates.
And let them take the new guitar
On which no one can play:
The banjo. too. be-ribboned in
The most aesthetic way.
The painted candles and the lamps,
Which never save me gas.
The thousand hammered ornaments,
The latest things III brass.
So thieves. come on, here is your chance
Come. and be rich for life,
I'll even leave the door unlocked,
But-do not tell my wife.

DAKOTA'S POPULATION.
A Mighty Commonwealth Fully Entitled
to the Privileges OF Statehood.


to the Privileges OF Statehood.
Whether adm tied as one or two States,
there are many reasons why the people should
not longer be deprived OF the right to manage
their own affairs.
These are the words of the Governor
of Dakota in his annual report of the
condition of affairs in that Territory.
and they call attention to one of the
most scandalOus acts of oppression
ever perpetrated on an intelligent and
progressive people. Dakota, accord
ing to the Governors report. had q
population of 500, AT when that docu-
ment was prepared. 1t will undoubt-
edly have 100000 by the time that
Congress organizes. Yet it is safe to
say that that body. as in the past
three or four years, will refuse to adj
nit it to the privileges of Statehood.
At the present hour it has more in
habitants than Maine had in 1880, al
though that Commonwealth was the
twenty-fourth in that respect in
that year among the States. Four
teen States ut that time had
each a smaller population than
Dakota has to-day. The combined
population of Nevada, Delaware.
Oregon and Colorado at the time the
latest National census was taken was
more than 100000 under that of Da-
kota at the present time. IF Dakota's
inhabitants were divided up numeric-
ally at this moment they would make
four States Us pOpulOus as Delaware
was in 1880. and eleven States as
populOus as Nevada Both of these
Commonwealth assist in the election
of a President and each has three
members of tn" National Legislature.
The former privilege is withheld from
Dakota, and it is permitted no voice
in the making of the country's laws.
Dakota's appeals for admission have
been treated with contempt by the
Democratic majority in the popular
branch Of Congress for several years
past. and they probably will be dur
ing the next two years. simply because
the Republicans are in majority in
the Territory. For outrages scarcely
more arbitrary and despotic than this

bellion and shook off the British yoke.
