on that subject:
North Dakota in 1893 will be re-
ieved of the suspicion of sending any
man to the Senate through the corrupt
use of money I could not learn that
any candidate had offered money, and I
firmly believe that no man will offer
any. I believe a Republican will be
elected, and believe that, whoever he
may be, he will hold his seat as honor
ably as any man in the Senate. A new
era has opened in my State. Honest
men everywhere are waking up to the
disgrace that attaches to 'ssboodle,' and
predict that in future North Dakota
will be as free from scandals Of corrup-
ton as Massachusetts or Georgia"
The Republican senatorial caucus has
agreed to vote for the admission Of
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Utah to
Statehood. It refused to consider the
claims of Arizona. But notwith-
standing this concession there viii
probably be no new States admitted
during this session, chiefly for the reason
that the time is too limited. Only five
weeks more of life belongs to this Con-
gress, and its time will be fully taken
up with the Appropriation Bills and
other measures. H."

It does not seem possible for the bill
restricting immigration to pass during
this session. The country must there
fore depend upon quarantine for pro-
lection against the advent Of cholera.
The National Quarantine Bill passed
the House early last week, after a most
exciting debate: the opposition coming
chiefly from New York City and New
Orleans. The National Government
will by this law-and it will probably
pass the Senate-have full and complete
power Of quarantine, and will have to
take the responsibility in case cholera
finds a Judgement in the country.
North and South Dakota were both
among the delinquents until the eleventh
hour in sending the electoral vote
of their States to the National
Capital by special messenger. They
were accompanied in their remissness
by Georgia, Indiana, Oregon, and one
or two other States. Just why all Of
these splendid Commonwealths ne
elected so long to give profitable pic
mic to some deserving citizen I have no
learned.
