Dakota, in comparison with the other territories clamoring for admission, stands head and shoulders above them. In popula- tlon and in material prosperity the growth of Dakota has becn phenomenal., The territory has increased her popula- tion since 1880 almost six fold, At that time the census gave Dakota & pobulation of one hundred and thirty five thousand. This year it is claimed 10 boe six hundred thousand, The prop- erty vuluation according to the assess- mient roll is put at one hundred and sixty millions, while the actual wealth is three hundred fillions, Utah, with its estimated population of two hundred thousand, has a property valuation of ‘but fifty millions.

The understood desire of General Iarrison to have a representative re- publican of the south in his cabinet will doubtless meet with no objection. The wisdom of his sclecting one of his ad- visors in the administration from that section is certainly defensible on the general ground of strengthening repub- lican sentiment and zeal in the south. If the next administration is to exert any influence upon the polities of that section it will be importaut that it shall have in its councils a representativ republican who thoroughly in- formed regarding what is neces- sary to be done, and who ean command the respect and confidence of the party in the south. If the adminis- tration should attempt to frame a policy foradvancing the cause of the republican party in the south upon the representa- tions and demands of all the politicians that will seck its attention, it must in- evitably encounter much perplexity and very likely failure. But it is obviously desirable on other than political grounds that the south shall be repre- sented in the next admnistration, and itis very likely these, with a seuso of justice to a large section of the country, which chiefly influence General Harrison in the de- sire to select a cabinet of- ficer from . the south, His evident wish is to make his administra- tion thoroughly national in character and policy, and it would be a drawback to such a purpose not to have in ita representative of the south, It is possible that he may not be able to easily find the proper man. There ave many republicans in the south who are qualified to occupy a place in the dinet, but who of them is there that leader without factional objection? if, of West Virginia, is us free from this objection as any one, hut would his appointment quite answer the demand for a representative south- ern republican? There ave several good men nmong the eighteen repub- lican congressmen from the southern states, but none of these can be taken out of congross with the small majority that the party will have there. Ma- hone can hardly be deemed a possibil- ity, since his presence in the admin tration would give off to muny northern republicans and do more harm than good to the party in the south. The man for the place should be o thorough republican, with no factional quarrel in hand and who will merit general confidence. The number of such on the south not large, but doubtless one can be found if wanted. A REASSURING PROMISE. The revised railroad rates which to go into effect at the beginning of the new year have been agreed upon by the presidents of nearly all the trunk lines in the west. The assurance that future readjustments which may be found de- sirable or necessary will be attended to by these officials, will go far toward checking exhaustive rate wars which have unsettled commercial values and crippled railway investors, 1t is an en- tively gratifying circumstance that the railway presideuts have been brought to a sense of their duty in this matter, The investigations of the inter-state commission recently conducted at Chi- cago, disclosod the fact that the il- way presidents knew very little of the details of the business under their con- trol, The methods by which the law has been evaded or violated, and nu- merous evils and irregularitios intro- duced and perpetuated, were largely the work of subordinates, of which the presidents knew little or nothicg, Trafic manasgers were allowed to shupe policies, make rates, and doother things with a freedom that ren- dered contention and controve rsy inevitable, and made impossible stu- bility and permanence in the business relations of the roads. The proposed change countemplates a more thorough outset on its are and_vigilant supervision the ros- ponsible head of each railway., If honestly carried out it means that freight agents and others are not to be vermitted to do as they please in their cutting r f discrimi- by departments, tes practicing all and keey respective at will sorts ¢ ing taith with nobody It is a decision of 'n who repre- sent the st railroa elkh 1 investors in rfor! position, shall reckless 1 the obvious in property to | duties of their that such property not the merey of the the These vailrond presidents order be or un- serupulous, uniformly charg difficulties to the dishonesty and Aaith- lessness of subordina No such ¢ will serve them hereafter. to be whether or not are honest in nwhile public removed them. may bring a most material improvement in the rail- road situation in this country if the policy promised by the chief officials of the roads is faithfully carried out. A TIMELY SUGGHESTION, Now is the time for the bricklayers, masons, stonecutters and mechanics cngaged in building trades to confer together and if possible, fix a seale that will be satisfactory to contractors and builders for the coming year, The d of building strikes which nost always result from o lack of harmony building mechan- ies and cont ean and should forestalled. Building matevial and especially brick will be abundant for use in the early spring. Nothing is in the way of an active building season if the wage scale which1s to govern the building trades the coming year can be matured and agreed upon this winter. This should be done hin the next thirty days. It takes 8¢ Al months of preparation te draw plans for any good building. But no capitalist will venture to ovder plans until he can hav fair estimate of its cost. No architect can be peeted to make a reliable estimate until he knows the average wages that will be paid during the season. » most of the existing It ren these their professions, and me tte not The coming year in seen railroad ofticers ntion mus be snsters between tors he during ex- Tk recommendations of the charter committee to stop reckless expenditure through the creation of overlaps will commend itself to our citizens.

The committee’s amendment mor over provides that such an obligation or debt shall be prima facic cnce of malfeasance in office, for which such councilmen and mayor may be im- peached and removed from ofti The incorporation of this recommendation into the eharter would prove a check to recklessness and jobbery, The pres- eat section of the charter on the subject provides that no money shall be paid out by the city except in pursuance of a specific appropriation made for that purpose by ovdinance, and no debt shall be created iy excess of the amount limited. This is manifestly weank. The penalty for creating overlaps asnow provided makes the bond of a council- man liable for unlawful exce: This is cvidentty insuflicient protection for the city. The present clause of the charter has been ignored by the council in cre- ating overlaps, and for all practical purposes is a dead letter. The proposed amendment together with the limita- tions to be imposed upon the council confessing judgment and paying unlaw- ful claims out of the judgment would be an insurmountable bar inst ex agance and reckless waste of the yers’ money. BUILDING INsrEcToR WHITLOCK quests the charter committee to raise his salary, which is now only one hun- dred and fifty doilars per month. Mr. Whitlock says his present salary is in- suflicient to entertain visitors and friends in accordance with his position.

The minister of Peruvian finance aud the com- missioners appointed to represent the syndi- cate and the long sulfering bondholders mu- tually signed a rough draft of the contract by which each party binds itself to do cer- tain things. Something in this contract, it is not known what, gave umbrage to Chili, and a request was transmitted to Peru that a change should be made. This was some- thing which the minister of finance wus most unwilling to do for two reasons, In the first pluce his pride as u Peruvian was hurt that Chili should ~ attempt to dictate in o matter that did not con- cern her directly and concerned her indirectly to an insignificant extent, Socondly he was morally certain that if the change was made, the Peruvian chambers would reject it. Under these circumstans he communicated his ditemma to the British legation at Lima, and the minister sent a dispateh to the English foreign office, The answer came back that the English govern ment would not tolerate any irvelevant ob. jection on the part of Chill. This is very Spirited language, but it cannot be backed up, for wheu it comes to a_question of ships and guns in the south Pacific, Chili and not England rules the waves. Itis to be hoped that the Chilians will be as merciful as they are strong, and not interpose objections 1o the Dououghmore contract simply for the purpose of keeping Peru in the dust where shie has been lying so long. Chili can well afford to imitate the dignitied attitude of the United States, to whom & short month ago Peru chose to be very concise and laconic, and insulting. Peru’s weakness is her best protection, P The Californians add the Australians have rejected the Chinese after a full vrial of thewm, and no one can doubt their full justifi- cation. It was believed, however, that it would be impossible to keep them out of the United States, as thoy could easily smuggle thewselves across the loug Cauadian and Mexican frontiers.

And it may be that ,under an autocratic government they will be better behaved than states whose freedom was too much for them. Whilst English news agencies are fabricat ing the most obvious fatschoods with regard to Stanley's whereabouts, King Leopola of Belgium has taken the matter to heart, and ns shown more agitation and sorrow thaun gsarcin the habit of feeling when any f their At comes to grief on their business. It was always surmised that Stanley would not have ted the com- mission to relieve Kmin Bey, i been his intention to do something in the in- terest of the Congo state of which Leopold is the founder. What that something was is not known.~ But Leopold has shown real gricf, a8 if blaming himself for the misfor tune which has befallen Stanley. This king of the brave Bolgians s a wonderful fellow, very queer, an undenjavle erank, and yot posseesing sound, good sense. 116 uses his roy privilege of doing what he likes by goine barcheaded on all possible oppor: tunities, i8 the reverse of Kings o v keep their hats on whilst st of the crowd ud them arc reverently uncov Some may think that the king is me be baldheaded, and does this to preserve his hair, but the fact is that he has a stronz aversion to a cold m the head,and believes that this may be averted by accustoming his unprotected nod- die toweather atalltimes. He has spent very largre sums over his west Africa state, awl probably would have reaped considerable benefit from his venture had it not been for the outbreak of the mahdi.

Andt \cuttacks the characters of the poor things, and suys that their want of beauty is caused by thew want of virtue, It the prevalent belief that General Di 10la never founia statue of Aphrodite in vprus in any teninle, and the warfare be- tween him and Mons Feuardent which thrilled New York, was based on that pecu- tiar fact. Di Cesnola belioved that a small statuctte of a female mitiled up in garmients obviously fashioned by the milliners of a cold country, with long loose sleeve like those that Chinese and Japanese ladies weep i, was Aphrodite, and he wus confirmed in this view by the fact thap she held pressed agnmst her side a wirror similar to_those tured of bronze by both Phoinic Ltruscans. Feuardent suid that this was statuette of the goddess Elpis, and volu teered to make an aMidavit to that effeet, and he charged that Di Cesnola had employed a workman to carve the mirror out of the idance of the lady's robe. Di Cesnola at this was a fabricated lie, and l investigation showed that the stone had been untouched for thonsands of years. But its position also showed that in the remote past. ages before Romulus and Remus_were suckled by the she wolf, the mirror had been added. Noone has ever dis- covercd who lpis was, und why Fenardent knew thai this was a statuette of her. 13ut this is the only statue of Aphrodite that Di Ces- nola found, ‘and as the nose is decidedly chipped, the resemblance that the correspon dent found must be largely the creature of his imagination. microscopi For the first time in his long carcer as an heir apparent, the prince of Wales is under a cloud of unpopulurity. He who is colonel of s0 many regiments and has worn so many uniforms gracefully and uncomplainingly, has found one of them too much for him, and h igned his command, and possibly given away that particular uniform to his valet. He avas captain general of the Au- cient and Honorable Artillery of the City of London, which was originally an archer or- ganization, but did not disband when bows re broken and arrows flung away, simply ding to the inevitabie and adopting matel- locks and calivers, When these had become old-fashioned and were succecded by the arquebuss, tho London artillery con adopted the arquebuss, The day came when the arquebuss was superseded by the musket and the Loudon artillery armed themsclves promptly with mu s, Pollowing the American idea of the vrifle, the Briti sh army chicfs furnished their soldic with Eufield rifles, and the Loudon artillery promptly repudiated Beown 13ess amd pre sented arms with the Enfield.

But did the London artillery ever g forth to battlet Not precisely; that is not for some time past. They distinguished themselves highly in the middle of the sey- enteenth century, and under the leading of Fairfax and Cromwell wiped the floor with some of the king's choicest troops, Since the coming in of the Protestant succossion have not_done any fizhting. In the present time these bold artillerymon a rich bankers, brokers and merchants, and they never even fire off their guns, 1Public opinion for the moment is swayed againsc the prince by the moneyed men of Lombard and Threadncodle strects, but the whole of the volunteor corps, and the militia, and the regular army are ticiled to death over his action. ‘T'he organization is a farce, and in days like these when the battle of ' Dorking looms nearer, and davker, and deadlier than , its disbanding would be a public ser- yie: . In this column last 'tveek 1t was stated that the news about . Stanfey from Zanzibar was obyiously manufactured, and that this cast a doubt upou the simultapeous news from West Africa. A day or two ago the London Telegraph, by far the ablest and the most trustworthy of the English daily papers, published a dispateh fxam Zanzibar to the effect that all reports’ from that place with regard to Stanley and to Emin Bey were ab- solutely untrustworthy, and that nothing was koows of them. ' It'1s dificult to com- prehiend how news from the Aruwimi could ot to the Lower Congo unless Stanley him- self brought it. The communication be- fveen Yawbuga on the Aruwimi and Leop- oldyille on Stanley Pool ‘is not regular; nor do boats ascend the Congo to the mouth of the Aruwimi unless there is a reason for it, The most reasonable conjecture about the matter is that sm.lcry, having arrived at Wadelai, and having found that Emin Bey was likely to be hard pressed for the military stores which bo left behind at Yambuga un- der charge of Bartholot,sent runners to hurry him up, and that these having arrived in the Aruwimi region, a rumor arose that Stanley was there. But if Stauley had left Emin Bey, ho would himself have been the bearer of his own news. A moment’s thought will show that Stanley would not and could not leave Emin Bey.
