And ul- though nt thix periol when the falling loaf adm nishes us that the ti o of aur sacred duty i# at han ', our nation still lies in the shadow of the great eresveu m surnivg which lisa fi led our heart: tinds us hopeful expressi: ntoward ¢ befora Do we howed in grief s d supplication, yetthecountlens benefita which have showered up n us during the paxt twelve mouths ca | for our fervent grati: tudo, snd make it ftting that we shou d rejoice with thankfulnoss that the Lord in His infinite mercy has signally favored our country and people. Peace without and prospetity within has been vouchsafed to us, No pestilence has visited our shores. The abundant privilages of free- dom which our ‘athers left an thoir wis- dom ar- still our increasing heritage, and if :n purts of the vast domain some affic- tions have visited eur brethren in their forest Howes, yot even this calumity has been tom ered in & manner sanctified ty the generous compassion for the sufferers which has been called throughout our country. For all thiwe things is meet that the voice of the nation should go up to God in fervent homage, Wherefore I, Chester A.

G. Brar Se retary of State. Patrons of Tur Ber will confer a favor on us by forwarding tho returns of the clection held yosterday from every county in the state as soon as the result has been definitely ascer- tained. We desire more especially the exact returns on supreme judge and regonts of the university. To T victors belong the spoils. Taxr battle is over and the country is nafe, Tur bottle scarred ward bummer has achieved another glorious victory. Now let the work on the new Doug- las county court house proceed with- out further dolay. CasixNer speculations still continue. It is confidently asserted that a read- juster victory in Virginia is to be fol- lowed by the selection of Hon. John A. Wise for a cabinot position, as a reprosentative of the, anti-Bourbon progreasivo element of the south. He isason of Henry A. Wise, who, as govornor of Virginia, 'hung John Brown. Although the son is said to be an out-and-out republican, and a min of great ability, such an appoint- ment by a stalwart president would arouse a good deal of indignation. Tua attemnpt to besmirch John Sher- man by the aflidavits of a brace of scamps that pretend to have drawn pay from the treasury for nineteen days’ labor done at Sherman's Wash- ington residence, is as malicious us it is contemptible. No intelligent per- son will for a3 moment helieve that a cabinet officer, ard withal the head of the uational treasury, who had wmil- lions at his disposal, would so demean himself as to swindle the government outof a paltry sum amounting to less thau one hundred dollars. e——— Tre people of Colorado, and more especially the citizens of Denver, have confederato rule. Tn Pennsylvania the canvass has been one without procedent, very intoresting as a politi- cal study,and calculated beyond doubt to exert a groat influence over the fu- ture course of affairs in that state. Thors have been two noteworthy foatures—he decided manifostations of independence among republican voters, whicn was demonatrated by tho hoavy voto polled by the inde- pondent republican candidats Wolfe for state treasurer and a corraspond- ing independence, but more general wenkness and party demoralization 1| among the democrats-~who polled a light vote for their candidate, In Now York the most striking feature is the reported defection among tho stalwart republicans who aro reported as voting blanks--and the genetal indifference among demo- crats— many thousands of whom did not vote at all. Our own state as faxr as heard from will give o somewhat reduced but still sufficiontly emphatic republican ma- jority. In many counties the contest was purely over local issues and while some counties that have always gone republican have gone democratic, others that have for years been demo- cratic have now electod ropublican county officials. The irrepressible anti-monopoly feoling has manifested itself in many counties and this almost spontaneous outburst is sig nificant in view of the great campaign that will be tought twelve months hence. Douglas county, as usual, is way behind in canvassing the vote, and while it is pretty certain that the republican ticket is elccted by a largs majority, we are unable to furnish the figures. DAKOTA AS A STATE A vigorous effort will be made at the coming session of congross to ad- mit Dakots as a state, Leading re- publicans regard the admission of Da- kota as a political necessity. They realizeé patnfully that the senato as at present constituted, leaves the party deponduns upon the co-oporation of two independents. They cannot con- firm: a single nomination or pass a bill without the aid of Davis and Mahone, The admission of Dakota 1t is believed will insure two republican senators and give the party an absolute major- ity in the senate. Apart from these political considerations, the proposi- tion to make -Dakota a state in supported by strong arguments. The wonderful growth of that terri- tory during the past five years has at- tracted very goeneral attention. Ite productions are increasing in volume evey yoar and every portion of the territory is being opened up by rail- roads, According to the national census taken in June 1880, the population ot tho territory was 135.180. It is now fully 170,000. In considering the question as to whether Dakota possesses sufficient population to entitlo her to admission as a state congress will be governed to some extent by precedents. The following exhibit will serve as a guide: States Admitted. Population. Arkonsas. 1586 07,504 in 1840 Florlda 11 Califor 1850 02,007 iu 1 bu 00 w869 62,405 in 1560 Kans & 1§61 107,208 in 1260 Nevad L1504 62,401 In 1870 Nobra ka. 1467 122,003 in 1870 Colorado, when admitted in 1876, did not claim over 100,000 population, and Novada, according to the census of 1880, had a population of only 62,265, while Oregon, which was ad- mitted into the Union twenty-one yoars ago, reported a population of only 40,000 greater than Dakotah. One of the arguments in favor of making Dakota a state is the neces- sity of making] better provisions for public education. tory expended 875,000 for the sup- port of common schools, the whole amount having boen raised by taxa- tion, While Dakota remains in a ter- ritorial condition, no revenue is to be expected from the 5,360,461 acres of for years been systomatically robbed by the extortionate tolls imposed upon them by the Union Pacific high- waymen. But now that the Burling- ton extension 1 being pushed, the U. P. road agents sud- denly manifest s change of heart. A refreshing spectacle is now present- ed by their appearance in Denver with carloads of tafly, begging for patronage upon most liberal torms, and secking to inveigle Denver mer- chants into contracts for a number of years—in order to cut the B. & M. out of Colorado traffic. public lands reserved for the benefit of public schools. Moreover, it appears that the value of these lands is being impaired for want of sufficient protection, On this subject Governor Ordway in his last report wrote as follow: “The sections of land donated by con- gress for educational purposes, when ever state organizations are perfocted, wre being depreciated in value be- cause the law secms inadequate to provent tresspass upon them, I have called the attention of the United Btates distriot attorney and the courts to the depletlon of what was intended by congress as & sncred fund for the education of the rising generation, and have been advised that additional leginlation by congress is necessary for the protection of these achool sec tions.” The people of the territory appear to be fully alive to the importance of fostering educational institutions. In the report just quoted Governor Ordway also wrote: “The educa- tional system inaugurated under Governor Howard's administration ia being developed, and T trust will won be placed upon a sound basie, altheugh the lack of funds and imper fect lorganization have provented the accomplishment of all that ita friends anticipated. Several high schools, academies and institutions of learning nave been founded during tho past year. Among thess may be men- tioned the Spearfish academy, situated at Speartish, in the Black Hills. 1 assisted in laying the ccrner-stone of this institution in July last, and the work has been pushed forward with such rapidity that the bvilding was completed by voluntary contributions avd opened for the uses intended within four months. Several bills have been offered in congress for the division of Dakota, one of the plans being that advocated by Senator McMillen, to divide the territory on tho line of the forty-sixth porallel and erect the southern por- tion into a state. Such a division would cut the territory into two near- ly equal parts, each costaining about 75,000 square miles, or about the same area as the state of Nebraska. The southern half contains nearly three-fourths of the population of the entire territory, or from 110,000 to 120,000 inhabitants, and is the most attractive to immigrants, on account of its more temperate climate, the greator fortility of ita soil, and the immense mineral wealth it contains, as well as bacsuse the compelition in railroad building promises to result in affording not only better facihities but cheaper rates for transportation. There is no doubt that any bill to make Dakotaa state will meet with dotermined opposition from the dem- ocrats, but if the republicans, after due consideration, decide to push it through, Dakota will be a state within the next six months, A lead- ing democratic organ intimates that the admission ot Dakota will be promptly followed by the division of Texas into five states. By virtue of a reserved right this will be done without asking congressional consent. A division of Texas has been fore- shadowed long ago, and the .only reason why this division has not taken placo is becauss some of the stales thus carved out would become repub- lican. Presipent ARTHUR'S forthcoming message to congress is now in prepa- ration. He is expected, among other thinge, to commend the threo-and-a- half per cents (Windom's); to express himself in favor of the speedy roduc- tion of the public debt; to speak well of the national banking system; to refer to the large and constantly in- creasing accumulations of silver dol- lars in the treasury; to praise the star route investigation unreservedly; to condemn polygamy, and to'touch ap- provely on the movement for the ad- mission of Dakota as a state, and on the movement for a national bank- rupt law. In speaking of our foreign relations he is expected to enunciate the revised -yegsion of the Monroe doctriue, lnrge‘ilpmprinlinm for the increase and improvement of the army In 1879 the terri- | and navy, the necessity for national aid to secure the education of the il- literate are, it is said, to be spoken of. His friends say vhat it will be a state paper of which no man need feel ashamed. ——— Mavor Boyp should use all the power at his command to suppress the low dives in the lower wards. Theso disreputable rerorts are a disgrace to our city. They breed vice and crime, and afford a harbor of refuge for out- laws and desperadoes. Such dens cannot safely be toleratod 1n any com- munity, and we believe the time has come when public safoty demands their prompt and energetic suppres- sion, If the present police force is insuffivient in numbers for the work, the taxpayers will cheerfully bear the additional expense for an increase. If the city marshal and police shirk their duty, Mayor Boyd should relieve them and appoint men who will fear- lessly enforce the law. T lower house of the legislature of Washington territory has passed a bill granting auffrage to women, and there is a fair prospect that the bill will soon become a law. Washington territory is 8 woman's paradise. Mar- riageable bachelors and widowers are largely in the majority and women of all ages and complexions—grass widows, old maids and females with short hair are in active demand. Here is a chance for the down-trodden and oppressed women of these parts. cETm———— Our n Missouri llcpu\llh‘m." ep The more we learn about the corn crop of the United States the more clearly is it apparent that it consti- tutes the foundation of our agricul- tural system and of our national economy, And by corn we mean, not grain in general, a8 the term signifies in Europe, but Indian corn alone, In certain states of the northwest wheat s the chief crop and the engrossing subject of interest and attention; in the south all things turn round the cotton crop; in special districts tobac ¢o is the chief source of incomne; in Now Jorsey, Delaware and the Hud- son river region of New York fruit is almost exclusively cultivated; but when the whole country is taken into view the corn crop is the Sam- son of all others. The crop of 1879, a8 roported in the census of 1880; was 1,754,000,000 bushels, nearly four times the bulk of anyother grain grown, Our corn does not figure conspicuously in_our export tahles becauso its great bulk in proportion to its price docs not permit it to be transported groat distances--and this s an advantage rather than a disad- vantage to the country, since it sup- plies a cheap and wholesome food to the poor, compels the consumption on and return to the soil of the largest crop taken from it, and, by taking the place of higher priced grains, enables us to spare the latter for exportation. Corn is the cheapest grain we raise, selling in good seasons as low as fif- toen to twenty conts a bushel in those regions in tho west where it is most abundantly fproduced. And yet it is worth more monay than anyothercrop wo raise, while its importance in fur- nishing the material fer our meat pro- duct and various forms of manufact- ures cannot be estimated. We know something of the immense value of our corn crop when it is cut short by a drouth like that of last summer; but it would take a total destruction of it to teach us how indispensable it is to the syatem of life and industry which rosta upon it. Strangely enough TIllinois stands first among tho state both as a corn and a wheat producer. Ita corn crop in 1879 was 236,000,000 bushels; that of Towa, 275,000,000 bushels; that of Missouri, 202,000,000 bushels. The Tllinois wheat crop was 51,000,000 bushels; that of Indiana, 47,000,000 bushels; that of Ohio, 46,000,000 bushels; that of Michigan, 36,000,000 bushels. — The People for Kirkwoo d. County (a.) Republican, Minnesota and Towa were honored by President Garfield with seats in his cabinet, both members being taken from the senate, and both leav- ing that body reluctantly. The death of the president and the succeasion of the then vice president has resulted 1n the retiroment of Secretary Win- dom, which will scon be followed by that of Secretary Kirkwood. Minne- sota promptly returned Mr. Windom to the senate. Will Tows do likewise for Lier honored son, or deny him the endorsement which he merits, and which his colleague reseived at the hands of our sister state? The sen- atorial question is taking on this phase. ‘The people are xufling them- solves whether they ought in justice to the grand war governor, to suffer him to be humiliated by treating him with less appreciation than the people of Minnesota showed to Secrotary Windom., Kirkwood's record in the cabinet is as good as Windom’s. Go- ing into a department which included pensions, patents and Indian affairs, he managed the whole with consummate skill aud entire success. He isnot an old man. Gladstone and most of the leading statesmen of Furopeare older. His reeord is without a smell of job- bery, or corruption, or subrerviency to corporations. The people were for him at the start. They wanthim yet, No member of the legislation is in- structed for Gear, or Wilson, or Kasson a8 against kwood. Ought not any ‘‘machine,” in any man’s in- terest, which seeks to rob the people of Towaof their true choice, to be promptly suppressed? D = OCCIDENTAL JOTTINGS.
