-------------
| Now that it is practically certain that Dakota
| will be divided and admitted as two States, it
Is important TO consider the question of nomen-
| stature. That Dakota Is a name deserving to
be perpetuated by being attached to a State is
undeniable. That South Dakota and North Da-
kota would not be good names for two members
Of the sisterhood of States is equally undeniable.
We have North and South Carolina and West
| Virginia. It is true, but we have no further need
for points Of the compass in our State nomen-
clature Therefore if Dakota be retained by the
southern part of the Territory, North Dakota
should be ruled out in connection with the north
ern part When General Harrison, as member
| of the Senate Committee Territories, signed a
report in favor Of the admission of the former, it
was proposed 20 make the northern portion
| Territory, with the name Lincoln Hence 1t
| is probable that President Harrlson's recon-
mendation on the subject will contain some refer
| ence to the matter of names. Washington, too,
| has been so much used the name for cities,
Counties towns etc, that its use rs the name OF
| State would be confusing Tacoma has been sug-
| gested rs a good name for this coming State
| 1t is to be hoped that names will not be the
last thing considered by the committees Of the
List Congress that will report in favor Of in
| creasing the number of stars on dag from
| 8s to al or AZ.
| What Of the future Of the Democratic party !?
| II is " The Atlanta Constitution" that asks the
interesting conundrum. When we went to press
| echo was answering What" in a rich bass voice
"The New-York Times" gives color to the
story that Collector Magone has gone to Wash
| ngton 10 consult with Secretary Farchd about
dismsSing some Republican clerks handful Of
whom yet remain in the Custom House, for express
| ing the qualification they felt good citizens
and worthy employees of the customs service that
the Government TO be restored to the con-
duct Of the Republican party " The Times de-
| clares exhibitions of happiness at the Republ-
can victory to be disgraceful" and indecent
and it urges Mr.. Fairchild to turn out all the
clerks guilty of such dreadful crimes II Mr.
| Farchd wishes to make a laughing stock of him
SELF he will follow this advice. Magone and
| all his creatures in the Custom House worked
openly and Gagranty to secure Cleveland's re-
| election Many of them ran their primaries at
| tended conventions ana performed every
of party service. To see these people sitting In
inquisition upon a few clerks who gave cheer
at the Administrators defeat is only amusing.
Mr. Alagone would better bottle his spite and get
ready to go himself, rather than send off any ono
else.
The Albany Argus" quotes The Windham
Journal as affirming that David" meaning Mr..
Hills the Goliah of the Democracy" " The
| Argus processes to be a devoted admror OF the
| Governor and so does The Journal" Why,
therefore, do they call him "Goliah' Do they
| recall who Goliah was? Io was blatant
dema gogue, who prospered for time, but at
last suffered an ignomnous defeat David may
well pray TO be spared the friends whose pet
name for him is Goliah.
1t is announced that number Of public-spirited
citizens of Buffalo have purchased one OF the large
residences of that city aud that the property is
soon to be fitted up as a Home for the Homeless,
In view Of the fact that casualty which occurred
on November 6 rendered former citizen of Buffalo
homeless some persons may Jump TO the conclusion
| that the home in question has been founded for
/ the special purpose Of sheltering him. But ac-
cordipg TO The Buffalo Courier" and The
| Courier ought 10 know-the charity Is to be re-
strcted solely to small boys 1t does not state, how
ever that one wing of the building will not be set
apart for the use Of the said former citizen OF
Buffalo. Further particulars IN regard to the pre-
else scope Of the Home will be awaited with
| interest.
