Oklahoma is dropping out of the
telegrams and away from publio notice
save as General Merritt and the Kansas
City papers , which started the boom ,
are busy denying reports of lawlessness
and murder. Certainly not as much as
was expected has been reported , but it
is equally as certain that much has oc
curred that has never found it way into
print. •
A Canadian parliamentary orator
is so incensed at the claim of the Unit
ed States to the fisheries of Behnng's
sea that he threatened in a speech the
other day to put a little gun boat off
the Aleutian island to settle the contro-
' versy for good. He told his audience
that after the appearance of a Canadian
gunboat in those seas we should hear
no more of the fisheries claim.
Strange as it < may seem Now Hamp
shire is credited with having the largest
divorce rate of any state , not excepting
Illinois. During the year 1887 there
was one divorce to every ten marriages.
The number of marriages for that per
iod was three thousand four hundred
and ninety. With such a record the
Granite State occupies a position in the
country unique as it is undesirable.
Dakota is setting her cap to attract
a large immigration this year. The
promise of statehood and the prospects
of the early opening of the Sioux reser
vation are powerful influences in direct
ing the attention of home-seekers. The
railroads , moreover , still have large
areas of desirable lands to dispose of ,
and this combination of circumstances
can not fail to be to the advantage of
Dakota.
European cities have a way of bring
ing strikes to a close that may well be
adopted when the occasion warrants.
The recent street car strike at Vienna
was terminated by the municipal au
thorities deciding that the street rail
way company should forfeit its twenty-
five thousand dollar security and pay
five thousand dollars penalty daily un
til travel was resumed. As might have
been expected the company restored the
strikers to their old positions , and the
lines began running immediately. Fur
ther comment is unnecessary.
. Vanderbilt's roads are joining the
Canadian lines in withdrawing freight
trains on Sunday. The intention is to
stop the freight business almost entire
ly on the Sabbath so as to give the em
ployes one day's rest out of seven. It
is a good thing and ought to be made
the universal rule on the railroads of
the country. The wear and tear of
nerves that the railroad employe suffers
from being obliged to work seven days
in the week doubtless results in acci
dents enough to counterbalance the
profit that accrues from the Sunday
business.
It has been discovered that the dis
astrous railroad accident at Hamilton ,
Ontario , which resulted in the destruc
tion of seventeen lives , was due to a
defective axle in the locomotive. In
other words , the terrible causalty might
have been averted by the exercise of
proper care in the inspection of the roll
ing stock of the train. It is one of the
dangerous features of American railroad
travel that the defects in the equip
ment of the great carrying thorough
fares are mostly discovered after it is
too late to render the knowledge of any
service in the way of protecting the
public. The loss of human life in this
country on the common lines of transit
is simply appalling , and is alarmingly
out of proportion to that which occurs
inthc old world.
Democratic papers complain that
President Harrison is laying his wires
for a second term in the White house ,
because of his careful and conservative
course in making official appointments ,
Well , what ot it ? A second term de
pends , outside of the president's no , on
a successful administration. A suc
cessful add judicious administration is
what the people want and what Presi
dent Harrison was elected to give the
people , and if his odmiuistrationis is a
success the second term follows almost
as surely as the day the night. No one
would want President Harrison to give
the country a poor administration simp
ly to shut the mouths of these chronic
kickers. The president is hardly fool
ish enough to repeat Grover Cleveland's
mistake of "working" the politicians
for a second term. Cleveland had the
politicians all right , but the people re
pudiated bcth.
There seems to be considerable mif-
uuderstanding among people regarding
the admission of the new states , as they
• are called , North and South Dakota ,
Montana and Washington. The act pro
viding for the admission of these terri
tories was approved February 22 last ,
and many persons take it for granted
that they are already states. Some
thing remains to be done , however. In
each of the four territories a constitu
tion is to be submitted to the people at
an election to be held on the first Tues
day in next October. If the constitu
tion is approved by a majority of the
voters , and the provisions of the act of
admission complied with , the president
will issue a proclamation announcing
the result' , and the territory will be in' '
the union , on an eqnai footing with tlu > j
other states. It is probable , therefor'- , '
that the proposed four j-tates will he in |
soon after the first Tuesday of net
October. j
