DAKOTA.

Delegate Clifford, of Dakota, made a
good talk, yesterday, for the admission
of his Territory into the Union. He
showed why it should be admitted, ana
thea declared that the cruel manner in
which the dependency had been treated
by Congress was without parallel.
When one thinks of the matter it does
seem cruel and outrageous. There is a
commonwealth numbering perhaps Co.,.
600 persons, the great majority of them
American born, and entitled by law
and by justice and by humanity to the
rights and privileges and advantages of
American citizenship; they are as
loyal to The government as are The
people of New England they are law
abiding, enterprising working. for the
glory and prosperity of the republic;
they are self sustaining, tax-paying and
ambitious; they are good citizens in al
that The word implies and the ma
ton requires. And yet they are
governed as Russia governs her colo
MES; are ruled by men not OF them and
who have no interest in them or their
welfare; their laws are interpreted, ap-
piled and enforced by judges and court
officers who are, sent among them as
strangers, and who are really not in,
political sympathy with them. Though
living within the borders of the Iepu bic,
the people of Dakota enjoy none of the
rights of republicans. They are really
little better than serfs, and their
masters are anything but kind and
lndulgent, and are rarely thoughtful
and considerste when selecting rulers
for the slaves. Monarchial Great Brit
ain is less cruel and less harsh with her
colonists, for she permits them to make
their own laws, and select their own
officers, and live under their own gov
ernments.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-02-02

and clearly showed thai the repor; had
injured his financial standing bust
ness. In the lower court be lost his
case, baton appeal the supreme Court
decided that the commercial agency
business was not privileged one. Tn
der this ruling the case was retired.
and the jury gave a verdict against
Bradstrset u Co., for SIS 900.
1t would be well if the law or Che
courts would detioe just how far the
commercial agencies have right to go
in this matter of exposing the
financial status OF man. That they go
too far, as rule, every business man
will assert, privately, though he may
not dare say so publicly or where il
is liable to reach the ears of an agent.
1t would also be we'll if the agencies
could be restrained from the employ
ment OF improper means to obtain sub
scribers. Merchants and business men
who have no use for the agencies, WIN
do not require its information to- pro
tect themselves against those with
whom they do business, are often
forced to become patrons Of the agencies
in order to protect themselves against
the dissemination of false reports. In
some instances the agents employ
methods which are little else than black
mailing to get subscribers, If the mer-
chant will not buy the rate book and
pay the fee regularly to he agency, he
is in constant danger of being misrepre
senttd in The reports which are circu-
lated. Perhaps the Atlanta case OF
Johnson was an j.. stance of the refusal
of the plaintiff to be bled for something
he did not want. At any rate we be :
lieve The commercial people quite gen
orally will rejoice over the mulcting 0
the agency.
