There is little encouragement for any,
thing favorable to South DakosA srom

representatives since its Thursday even.
ing caucus. The original effort in the
caucus was to relieve democratic con-
gressmen from the control of the caucus
majority so that they might vote indie,
pendently and in accordance with their
personal convictions on the Dakota
question. The outcome OF the caucus
was decision to consider at
the earliest practicable day an omni-
bus bill to include the territories OF Da-
kota, Washington, Montana and New
Mexico-the special provision in the
case OF Dakota being thas its people
may decide whether they shall be ad-
mitted as one state or two states This
caucus conclusion carried out means
nothing for Dokota, because there is not
time within the short life of the present
congress for the people of Dakota to
take such action as will satisfy the dom.
ocrats OF the house that they desire ad-
mission as two states. The conclusion
Is entirely favorable to ths other terri
tories named and opens the way for
their admission ahead of the admission
OF Dakota, provided the senate concurs.
It is practically an endorsement OF
Springer's omnibus bill, with the con-
'cession that if Dakota actually wants to
be divided it may be divided. It is ap-
Daren. enough that there Is no process
within the scope of human invention by
which the democratic majority in the
house can be convinced that Dakota de-
eires division. We have presented our
decision upon this suisct in every con-
cievable form during the past ten years
-slways in favor of diyision-and now
az this hour the democratic caucus rises
up and asks TO be advised regarding our
INSTRUMENTATION We desire admission as
one state or two states. This is not sin-
ce:;sy. 1: is merely subteFf5ge OF the
enemy to prevent the creation of two
states from the territory OF Dakota.
When We expected the favor of the dem
ocratic house in the closing weeks of it's
political power We reckoned without our
host. The old disposition to prevent
Dakota from attaining its rights is still
rampant. This is what the caucus
teaches as. We must look for relief TO
special session OF congress-thst fail
ing, the whole matter goes o7er for a
year. Meantime we will adhere to our
determination to accept nothing unless
division is granted us.

Congressman Uox and the expressions

cratic members show that strong

abandoning the territorial policy which
has hitherto been pursued. 1t is clearly

hoo for the two Dakotas. He says
that Mr.. Springer has q power as auto
cratic as that of the czar of Russia. He
is chairman OF the committee on terri
tories and it is next to impossible to
get any territorial bill reported against
his wishes. III Springer ,insists on
the admission of Arizona along with
Dakota We might as well contain our
souls in patience until the next congress
meets either in collar or extra session.
F. a. Carle, Washington correspond
ens of the st. Paul Pioneer Press, looks
at it this way:
Ii Springer ever calls up his four state
bill the South Dakota bill may be moved
as substitute. Ii he does not the house
may order him to do SO at the proper
parliamentary juncture and some one
may make motion to fix day for the
consideration of either the four state or
the South Dakota bill. Unless Springer
undergoes change OF heart is is certain
that he will do nothing to facilitate con
sideration OF the subject, as il is now
pretty clear that majority of the house
would vote against him. III square
vbte can ever be had ut this session 1t is
morally certain that acts for immediate
admission for both South Dakota and
Montana will pnss the house. There is
no evidence to show how such action
would be regarded by the senate. fits
very probable that the republicans in the
senate would prefer on principle that
their party would reap the full glory OF
the admission OF alI the territories at the
next session OF congress, but if the house
we're to pass the Platt bill without
material change they could not refuse to
concur in the necessary verbal amend

,ponr THOSE IMPORTED BLANKETS

Numerous letters have been addressed TO this
Office. asking for information regarding the con-
tract for blankets entered into by the War De-
partment and an English firm last year, so that
brief statement Of the facts Of that extraordinary
transaction seems TO be the shortest way Of salts
fying a large circle OF nquirers.
On March %, 1887, the United States Govern
ment advertised for bids for the purchase of
1000 blankets for the use OF the medical depart
ment Of the Army There were foreign bids and
American bids. The lowest foreign bid was for
four-pound blanket at So %. For the same four
pound blanket the lowest American bid was 81 90.
The contract went abroad, the Government TAX
ing advantage of the law which permits the United
States TO bring in goods free of duty. There
being such a small surplus in the Treasury, it
became necessary, OF course TO save every penny,
even though English labor made those 1000
blankets for the use Of the Army, and American
labor was TO that extent boycotted by Democratic
Administration
Aside, however, from the lack OF patriot
ism which it displayed, this transaction furnishes
an excellent illustration Of the fallacy of the
