NO TaInt of Partisapsbip.


Minneapolis Journal: The Dakota
edition of the ST. Paul organ of demo-
cracy, in the course Of some very com-
plaoent rehsctions on the moral GER
tainty that Dakota cannot get into the
union In time to take any part IN the
next presidential election, remarks that
there ought to be no faint of partisan :
ship IN the treatment of tie Dakota
question at Washington"
That sounds well in view OF the fact
that nothing but democratic partisau-
ship OF the most odious type has charao.
terlzed the action of the House all
though this agitation OF the Dakota
question. For the sake OF party ad-
vantage the democrats have refused to
recognize the lawfully expressed will
OF the people OF the territory on the
question OF division and sought to
smother and repress the rise OF division
sentiment by starting a counter moye-
ment in favor of one state which result
ed in Che Aberdeen convention. There is
plenty of reason to believe now that the
one state convention was inspired by the
democracy outside of the territory to
furnish an excuse for refusing to act up
on the result of the late election, the re-.
turns of which were not certified by the
governor till more than two months
after the election, and long after the
one-state convention had had an oppor-
tunity to do what it was intended to do.
Another evidence of how free from
the faint Of "partisanship" is the treat
| paent of the Dakota question, in COZ.
Sress. is the record OF Congressman
Springer, who has done so much to de-.
PriVe Dakota of her rights. In 1882 he
expressed regret that Colorado had been
admitted when she was because in order
to give her the requisite population
1t was necessary to make her territory
! too large. Bot Colorado has On area of

of Dakota is lA9, square miles. It isn't
worth while for MIR. Springer to try to

ritory her wonderful resources and
magnificent cities might have been kept

be 30 much the less.
And SO we are urged not to allow par
tisansbip to prevent MS from looking a,
this Dakota question Just as Mr.. Springer
| does.
| We do not pretend to know what the
people OF Dakota will do with one state
enabling act il submitted to them--they
will probably adopt it ia the hope ol
republican success and subsequent divi

SIGHTS IN A MOSQUE.

Description of "a Mos.en House OF Syor-
ship Giimpses of sYorshtpers.
Atlantic Monthly: You enter this
mosque through bronze door, having,
OF course, previously shod your profane
feet with protecting babooches, and then
you are free to examine and admire.
The first feature that strikes you is four
enormous pillars, which might be COM
pared to four Euted towers, and which
support the weight of the principal GU
| pols. The capitals of these pillars are
eerved in the form OF a mass OF stalac.
| tites, o style OF ornament which may be
observed in many fine Persian monu.
ments; and halfway up they are
enoircled by band covered with
inscriptions in Turkish charac-
ters. The strength and simplicity
OF these four pillars, which at once ex-
plain to the eye the constructive system
of the building, give striking impress
sion of robust majesty and imperishable
stability. Socrates, or verses from the
koran, form bands of running ornament
around the great cupola and the minor
domee and the cornIces. From the roof
are suspended to within eight or ten
feet of the ground innumerable lustere,
composed OF glass cups full of tallow,
set in circular iron frame and decorated
with balls of crystal, ostrich eggs and
silk taesels, as in st. Sophia and all the
other mosques. The mihrab, which
designates the direction of Mecca--the
niche where rests the sacred book, the
koran, the mobile book taken from a
prototype kept in heaven"--is inlaid
with lapis lazuii, agate and jasper
Then there is the usual member, sur
mounted by oonical sound board, the
| mastaches, or platforms sup
ported by colonettes, where the mnez-
zins and other clergy sit, AS in all the
| mosques, the side aisles are encountered
! with trunks and bales OF merchandise,
deposited by pious Mussulmans under
divine safeguard; and finally, the floor
| is covered with fine mating in summer
and carpets in winter.
While / was lost in wonderment as
the splendor of this mosque several mos.
| lens came in to pray, with the usual
prostrations and beard stroking and
| yswnlng. Two or three women also came
to pray. clad in feridiis of brilliantly
striped silks-rose and white, azure and
| white, yellow and red aud they; tco,
kneeled on the mating and bowed and
tonohed the ground with their brows;
and their little baby girls, with their
fine eyes and white wells wrapped around
| their heads, stood patient and motion
| less beside them, not being yet Old
enough TO pray, or perhaps not strong
enough to PROSTATE themselves without
| irremediably losing their balance.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Congressman
Sunset Cox says one little sentence from
his lips would adjourn the house instantly.
What Mr.. Cox means is best explained by
the following statement made by him to a
Herald reporter today:
Last Thursday" began Mr. Cox, Il
ran down to Moorehead City, n. c., to OBJ
tain Il rest. Returning to Washington
yesterday my train was detained at Greens
boro to await the arrival of the Jackson
vile, Fla, express. My presence on the
train bod been telegraphed ahead, and
when alighted at Greensboro | found a
large crowd in attendance who Insisted
upon my addressing them. | spoke for
about thirty minutes to a responsive audi
ence. When the Jacksonville tram came
in aud we started north again, | noticed
we had fallen among the most scared and
most forlorn looking people on earth.
Suddenly | heard one man propose to an
other that they should go forward, but his
friend replied that they would not be per
mitted to. This rather surprised me till |
found upon inquiry that the majority of
my fellow passengers We're flying from the
plague stricken city of jacksonville. They
were all bound for New York and | mag
inc that half of them are carrying the
germs of yellow fever in their systems
That is what | meant in saying that a
word from me would adjourn the house,
but out of regard for the feelings of my
colleagues | will forhear to speak of it,

C 4. r. RATES.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 15.-W. II. Dixon,
assistant general passenger agent of the
Milwaukee, laughs at the idea that there
viii be a break OF any sort in the G. A. r.
rates There have been rumorS of still
deeper cut, and railroad officials have por-
tentiously shaken their heads and shrug-
ged their shoulders in depressing dubious
fashion whenever the subject has been
mentioned. These little external express
sions of pretty well defined fear,
strengthen the belief that there will be a
sudden drop.
Il don't believe word of it," said Mr..
Dixon. 81 have heard rumors of that kind.
but they strike me as being all bosh. just
look at it. The Milwa ukee has announced
a rate of Sl425 for the round trip
with the guaranty that should the
rate be lower when the time arrives the
current rate will apply regardless of every
thing. We shall carry five cars from Cal
fornia, one car each from Oregon, Wash
ington and Montana. and the commander
in-chief and suite occupying five coaches
the department of Minnesota. That has
all been arranged. Now, if the other
roads make an effort TO cut the rate below
1c mile, which is the lowest rate they
can afford to do business, it will be be-
cause Of malice or envy. Should they do
it, it would be for the purpose of making
us carry the eXcursionists at low figure
and bear the burden, while they sell
merely to a few outsiders to whom the
rate will be an advantage in other respects.
don't believe there is a passenger agent
in the city SO reckless as to demoraliZe
rates Just for amusement"
