DAKOTA.

There can be no doubt that South DakO-
Ia shonld be admitted to Statehood, and il
possible by the present Congress. The
REGISTER desires to to reiterate its convic'
tiOn on that point.
By the census Of 1885 the population Of
the whole Territory was AIS, 26S, having
more than doubled in the dse years follow
ing the taking of the national census, its
property, IS valued for taxation, amounted
to $lO6, coo, coo, and its vote, cast in 1856,
was 1O3, ISL. The population is now esti-
mated by Governor CHURCH at 56S, 600
In the contemplated division Of the Terri
tory for admission as two States, South
Dakota contains By far the larger part OF
this population and wealth; ard, although
it is scattered over a great ~spacs-the Dor
ton cut of for South Dakota containing
about 5000 square miles or three times
the area of the State of West Yirginia-it
aggregates enough to warrant the confer
ment of the privileges and dignity Of a
State.
The New York World has nearly q page
ofsn interview with Congressman "Sunset''
Cox, which contains some very interesting
information CONCERNING Dakota
Mr.. Cox is not partial to the admission
ofUtah aud thinks the MOrmons are embar-
RAISING the chances Of Idaho, Arizona and
Wyoming, for they are going into these
ambitious territories. Congress, he thinks,
will net be in haste to encourage State
hood with . polygamous population.
Judge DOUGLAS favored the abolition of
the polygamous relic by distributing
Utah territory among her nsighbors. Some
such scheme Mr.. Cox thinks, may be at
tempted.
As to Dakots's title to Statehood Mr..
Cox says:
"While Montana and Washington and
New Mexico may each have = sufficient
number for one Congressman, yet it
has been urged that they have made
no urgent application for admission,
end yet to tumble them up in one 'omni-
bus bill' is not fair to Dakota which has
a population, even when cut 10 twain, in
each part greater than these three other
Territories combined; and even If the
omnibus bilP should pass the House and
should be sent TO the Senate either at the
coming session or at the next Congress,
the Senate certainly would strike out
Montana, Washington and New Mexico
and let the three Territories, including
Dakota, stand on their own intrinsic indi-
Vidual msrits.
Assuming that Montans, Washington
and New Mexico combined have three
times the unit Of representation, or about
45O. 900, and that DakOts has sec, 900,
there would be enough in Dakota, accord
ing to the unit rule OF representation, for
fonr members Of Congress Moreover, q
strong plsa can DO made for Dakota on the
ground of her resources and her marvel
Ions progress in all that makes up the
STATE. Her srel is Isl g92 square miles.

How the American people do love TO be

they wouldn't be humbuGged. There aP-

Mr.. Cox, ''both as a Democrat and a
legislator" believes in the admission OF
South Dakota by the present Democratic
House, exclusive Of any political consider
alton 'bscause it is right Inherently"
He thinks it would be good policy to take
up the Senate bill for South Dakota and
pass it. Also an enabling act for North
Dakota. This could be done this winter,
As TO Washington, Montana and New
Mexico, they have not asked very strenu-
OusDy for admission, but, if the conditions
be favorable, and the facts be as stated,

RAN AWAY FROM HOME.
The Mystery of Matte Richard sons
| Disappearance Solved

Matte Richardson, the little girl men
toned in yesterdays MORNING NEWS as
having mysteriously disappeared from the
home of Mr.. c. T. Cristie at the corner of
Montgomery street and Duffy street lane
Saturday morning, is at the residence of
Mr.. w. G. Sweat, on Chatham square.
A MORNING NEWS reporter called on Mr.
Sweat yesterday afternoon and learned that
Matte had been with his family since Sat
urday. He said that she came to his house
early i'll the morning, and calling to his wife
from the streets asked her if she could stay
with her. Mrs. Sweat was puzzled to
know what to do. The child said that
she had no where to go, and that
II Mrs. Sweat refused to take her
i'll, she would wander on until she did find
place to stay Mrs. Sweat asked the child
to come in and tell her why she left home.
Matte did SO. She said that she lived with
people who did not treat her well, and she
had suffered from them as much as she
would, and to escape any more punishment
she ran away. Mrs. Sweat was struck with
the pitiful story of the child and allowed
her to remain.
Mr.. Sweat sought Mayor Lester at once
in reference to the matter, and was advised
to write the keeper of the Orphans Home
in Macon about 1t. In the meantime Mayor
Lester was to intercede with Mr.. Cristie.
The letter to Macon was written Sunday
afternoon and yesterday reply came. Mr..
Sweat was directed to secure a pass from
the Central railroad and send the child at
once, or confer with Rev. A. NJ. Wynn. He
was seized with severe case of rheumatism
last night, however, and was unable to do
anything further in the matter.
Mrs. Sweat placed the case in the hands
of Rev. A. NJ. Wynn, of the Wesley Monu
mental church. After an interview with
Mrs. Cristie Mr.. Wynn advised that the
child be sent back to her home with Mrs.
Cristie. Accordingly she was taken back
last night, and ii she attempts to leave
again she will be sent to Macon. Mrs
Cristie was interviewed about the treatment
of the child. She said that the child had
misrepresented affairs; that while she loved
the child, because she had so long been in
the family, she was mortified at what she
had told Mrs. Sweat.
Mrs. Cristie has no desire whatever to
keep the girl longer if it is her wish to
leave. Mrs Cristie's neighbors speak very
highly Of her, and corroberate her state
ments respecting the treatment of the child.

A Minister'S Testimony.

DEAR SIR-In 1861 l broke out with an
attack of Poison Oak. Whether or not it
came back on me during the next three
or four years l do not remember, but
from about 1865 to 1885 | suffered most
severely from repeated attacks of this erup-
ton. The use of some external remedies
gave relief-'twas only temporary-till in
1879 | found that Iodide of Potassium and
Syrup of Sarsaparilla benefited me not a
little. However even then was not cured.
for from 1882 to 1885 the attacks were more
severe, prolonged and frequent than ever,
coming upon me as many as four, and even
five times during the year. In the spring
of 1885 | took course Of p. ?. p and from
that time to the present June %, 1856 |
have beon free from eruptions of this poison
Only once, early in this month, few bumps
appeared Oh my wrists, but dried up in a
day or two, being the dying throes, as it
were, of this horrid and loathsome disease.
After being agued for about twenty-five
years with Poison Oak, / consider myself
cured, and by the use of about one bottle of

GAS PIPES OUT OF JOINT.
The Greater Part of the City in Dark
ness Last Night.

ness htlSJ NlRNb.
There was something the matter with the
arteries of the gas system last night, and
complaints were continually pouring in by
telephone and by personal delivery, but still
the gas rose and fell like watered stock in
Wall street The entire southern part of
the city was in darkness, and all over the
city the irregularity of the flow was gen.
eral
In some instances the gas would burn
brightly in one house, while in the next
every room was plunged i'll cimeran dark
ness. The devices TO illuminate were many
and the annOyances were, in many in
stances, serious and often amusing Oil
lamps were called into requisltion, but
usually when 1t came TO light them it was
found they were in the same condition as
the lamps of the seven foolish virgins, and
worse still when the oil cans were resur-
rected from the rubbish room they were
empty too. In some instances the orna-
mental wax candle, or the tallow dip of the
fathers, reminders of the days before the
gas meter began its insldious attack upon
the bank account, were lighted to preserve
homellke appearance in parlOr and draw
ing-room.
The storekeepers were taken by surprise,
and in some cases, finding it hopeless task
ned off the burners, the gas being already
badly off, and locked up early.
An inquiry at the gas works did not re-
suit IN any explanation of the trouble, 1t
was inexplicable to them, although they
admitted in answer TO a suggestion that il
might have resulted from some defect in
the mains or service pipes occasioned by
the changes they are undergoing incident
to a separation Of the two systems for the
manufacture and delivery of the non carbu-
reted gas for fuel and illuminating pur-
