by Mr. Kosowator , and that , too , ap

President Arthur in boliulf of Porter
to enable him to vindicate himself.
This tardy act of justice is said tn
have lit-en received with much mtiu-

DAKOTA.
There is only one issue now pend
ing before congress upon which nil1
democrats will readily act in roiicerl
and that is opposition to the admis
sion of Dakota To admit Dakota
means nn addition of two republican
senators and one republican represen
tative besides the republican votes in
the next electoral college. This the
democrats in congress will very na
turally resist to the bitter end. If
Dakota in admitted democratic ascendancy -
ancy is nt nn end. This is the convic
tion nf the democratic leaders and
democratic editoro nnd this is doubt-
leas also thu view taken of the situa
tion by lending republican ! ) .
In many respecls the struggle for
the admission of Dakota will resemble
the hiatoric struggle between thu ftee
Boilers and squatter sovoreiifim
on one side nnd the pro-
slavery liro-ealorft on the
other over the KaimN-Xobraskn act.
The triumph of the frco soilors was
the entering wedge of the final over
throw of the ulavo power in the na
tional govern merit. Insupporlingtho
admission of Dakota the republicans
in congress do not merely act-upon a
political motive. Dakota has a solid
bnsis for her claims to sisterhood. A
good precedent for thu admission of
Dakota as a slate is found in the case
of Nebraska. In 1880 Nebraska had
a population of only ' . . ' 8,811. In 1807 ,
when Mic was admitted into the
Union , she had barely 100,000 inhabitants -
habitants , and three yearn later , in
1870 , the national census returns gave
Nebraska a population of 12'lK ! , { ! } ,
which ton yearn later , in 1880 , swelled
to 452-IOL' , . These figures tthow
conclusively the wisdom and propriety
of the admission of Nebraska. Dako
ta u in many rc.ipoclft u counterpart of
Nebraska.
In 1870 she had only l-l',181 inhabi-
tanls , but the census of 1880given her
1115,177 people. Thu heavy imtuiitra-
tioh of last hour in consequence of the
extension of the Northern Pacific and
construction of other railroads , has
Hwolled ( ho population to fully JliO- ,
000 , and there in no doubt she has
150,000 people within the boundaries
proposed for the now Htato. With
such a Knowing U.ikota certainly him
bettor claims for admission now than
Nebraska had in 1H ( > 7. She has a
larger population now than in now
possessed by the Hiatus of Delaware
and Nevada and larger than wan pos-
ho.iHod by Florida , Kansas , Nebraska ,
Minne.iota , Ore-yon , Wisconsin , Colorado
rado , and other stales when they wore
admitted into thu Union. But with
all her well founded claims Dakota
will have to make a very desperate
fight to HOC uro admission. Wo have
no doubt , however , that she will pull
through.
VACCINATION.
In view of the prevalence of small
pox in various sections of the coun
try , and the fatal spread of tlio deadly
disease through the wont , the sufli :
cioncy of vaccination as aunivontivo in
becoming a mittor of public concern.
There is no need of defending vacci
nation now , for it has boon proved
beneficial , but such quoHtions as
whether our vaccine lymph has de
generated of late years ; whether bo-
yino lympli or that which has' passed
through the procusn styled humaniz.
ing is most efficient in preventing and
mitigating the disease ; and whether
there ha * not been in more recent
yearn an increase in the ratio of cases
among persons wh have been vacci
nated as compared with the whole
number of seizures , coupled with an
increased ratio of mortality , are mat
ters of interest not only to the medi
cal profession but to the public.
Dr. Charles Cameron , member of
the Britiuh parliament , boldly annumes
that vaccination , as now practiced in
the British Isles , is a lets efficient
protection against thu subsequent oc
currence and viruloncoof smallpox
than in the dayn of Dr. .Ionnor. This
opinion ho undertaken to sustain will
statistics furnished by Dr Mantton
of thu London small pox hospital , am
others. The figures relate to severa' '
countries and how that of 15,181
noticed cases of pOHt-vnecinalmuull pox
occurring be'weon 18111 and 18tl : ! , tin
mortality amounted to 1.75 pur cent
Dr. Harmon supplies dulii from IS.'Ji
lo l8VJ ( , during which period h
records 2,7811 , post-vaccimil cnsea will
a mortality of < 5.l > per cent. Fron
185'2to | 1807 Dr. Cameron * how
10i')8 ; ' ) eases with a majority of 7.
per cunt , , while among unvuccinntm
cases thu deaths amounted to II7.fi po
cent. During thu decade ending wit
1880 the record shows 15,000 post
vaccinal ctsus , with n still ndvancin
rale of mortality , the exact figures
being ! . ( } per cent. In this view Dr
Cameron is unstained by the celebrated
brated Dr. Kiiiitm and a cmmnimio
of the Belgium academy of inudicinu.
It is urged , however , that Dr , Cam-
oron's data are not sufliciently reliable.
to be of in
use arriving at correct con i-
clusions , and that the ratio of mor
tality in poiit-vacoinal CABUS has not
advanced more rapidly than it has
among cases of the vaccinated , Fig.
urea arc given to show that while the
mortality in post-vacoinal canes hat
increased from 1.75 to nearly 10 pui
cent , during the present oonhiry , tin
increase of per cuiitagu has risen toIt
from 20 among the unvnccinated.
It uhould also bu remembered Urn
Dr. Cameron foundu ID'S opinion vur
iwgely upon British experience and
tnliflUc.1 , and the bovine lymph is
cldnin used by practilioncrn in tint
oiintry , while in this country it is
cncrally used to the exclusion of
accino taken from human beings ,
' 'or this reason American experience
OCH not agree with that of Great
Jritain. Of100,000 vnccinatioim
oported by Dr. Martin , in this comi
ty , not n solitary case of post-vac-
inal variola it is said , has been re-
ordod. In Now York , during the
iasl year , nearly every occuring case
ms cither been among unvaccinnted
crsons or among those have
ot been vaccinated since infancy.
Jr. Wolfe , a distinguished vita
tatin' ician , shows thai , in our western
ospitals , the larger proportion of
mall pox cases come from foreigners ,
who have been vaccinated several
imes , the operation having been per-
ormcd in their own countries. This
alter statement , however , argues
othing against the efficiency of bo-
ino lympli. It would appear from the
ata adducad by Dr. Cameron , and
te inference to bo drawn from that
f Dr. Wolfe , relative to post-vaccinal
\sos , that patients having been vac-
nalcd a number of times are an likely
die as those who have only under-
one one operation ,
OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
The political record of 1881 in the
Id world is marked by three great
vents the Irish land bill , thu nnsas-
ination of Alexander II , nnd thu
'reiich attack upon Tunis. It in to
hose that future writurw will devote
heir attention when recording the
istory of the year. To all lovers of
hural ideas the progress noted in
European politics must bo moat grati-
ying. In no country more than tn
England has the broadening of states-
nanshif and the strunifthcning of pop-
ilar sovereignty been noticeable. Thereat
; roat topic of interest has , of course ,
teen thu Irish ( [ ueslinn. Dubalo upon
ho topic began in parliament on .Jan
uary Mtli , when the P.irnell amend-
nonls to the address wore rejected.
On the " -Ith the government coercion
ill was introduced and \rau piHsed ; latu
n February. In April Mr. Gladstone
ntrodncud thu Irish land reform bill

or their now leader , thu Marquis
if Salisbury , made a vigorous op-
lomtion , but it was filially pusiod.
ml became a law in August. ltn pro-
idiona , in substance , guarantee to
very tenant a fair rent for hit * hold
ng , to bo fixed by the land courts or
ommission , or by agreement with the
atidlord ; the fixity of that rent for
iftoen years ; immunity from eviction
> r arbitrary increase of rent ; the own
rship of improvements ; the right of
he tenant to soil his tenancy ; and au
hority to the land commission to ad
ranco money to tenants to enable
hem to purchase their holdings and
> ecomo absolute owners in them ,
though a largo number of tenants
inro applied to the land commissions
or contracts , and rents in every cose
lave been fixed at material reductions ,
lioru has boon decided opposition to
lie bill in many parts-of Ireland , man
tasting itself in riots and agrarian out
ages. At last the land league bo-
amo outspoken in its opposition
nd advice to tenants to-pay no rents ,
hat Mr. Pftrnoll nnd other leaders
were arrested. At present Irolant
resents a gloomy picture witli
ictivo resistance in progreHs againsi

acted for its relief.

The wnr against Tunis , provoked
y France in last April hns been
nivorsally denounced as uncalled for
nd barbarous. The city of Tunis
as surrounded in May and capita-
itcd on October 10 , and Tunis has
asHed under the protectorate of
'Vance. ' French politics have wit-
eased a change of ministry. In the
nunicipal elections , early in .January ,
lie Gnmbcttist republicans wore sue
casful , thus foreshadowing the final
esult , though in May Gambetta VIM
cfcalod in the assembly by the ndop-
inn of the "Scrutin de lisle" method
f voting , which ho had opposed. In
uly thu government concluded to
old a general election in September ,
ho canvass was a very vigorous one ,
nd resulted in an overwhelming ro-
nblican victory and the almost utter
nnihilation of the monarchists. The
esult of this election retired M. Ferry
rom the head of the ministry and
nado M. Gambotta premier and min
ster of foreign atiairs , with M. Cazot ,
T. 1'oussoau , nnd M. Ilert in the im-
lortnnt dupartmuntsof justice , the in-
erior , and public worship and in-
truction. The now ministry is a very
ndicul ono in nomu respects , nnd hns
omo heavy burdens to carry , ts-
pcially thu Ultramontanu opposition
o M. Ucrt and the Tunisian war , but
t has as yet taken no advanced flteps.
In Germany , also , there has beun a
uvere political crisis , but Bismarck ,
H usifkl , appears the master of the
iluation. The first cabinet crisis ou
urrud in . .lanuarjwlion Count Von
jtilonbcrc , the niinistor of the inter-
or , resigned for several reasons ,
tmong them the govornment's tern-
> orixing with the persecution of the
invs , itn treatment of socialists , nnd
tia own opposition to Bismarck's un-
urupulous election methods. Mean-
rhilo Binmarck introduced certain
conomic reforms appertaining to
vorkiingineti , and wa teinpor-
rily dofoaled. The defeat led
ip to a general election in which
hose economic reforms among others ,
were made the issues. The liberals
riumphed and Bismarck's own party ,
ho conservatives , wore loft in a niin-
irity , but the wily chancellor has
11 mod defeat into victory by making
on alliance with the centre of ultra-
montnnos , based upon curtain conces
sions to Homo , among them the ac
crediting of a G-'orman representative
o the Vatican and the reception of a
'apnl Nuncio at .Berlin.
Of the nmullor European states there
IB little to be said. Turkey has given
ess trouble than usual. Greece has
recovered Thossaly and part of Epirus
lot all she justly claimed , but nil the
thle.Ms great powers would force
Turkey to give her. Roumania's

NOXE of the four exhibitions held
i Germany last summer wore iinnii-

oss of 800,000 marks , or § 200,000.
n this case the guarantors will have

ley gunraiileed in full. The Halle
xhibllion of industry wai also n fail-
re , but the deficit is far less serious
inn at Frankfort , amounting to only
L'5,000. Thin , too , will have to be
lade iip by the guarantors. The
tuttgnrt nnd Bruslnn exhibition of
iduatry and nrt were Ices unfortun-
le , but none of the German cxhibi-
onn of the past summer can show the
nancial nncccss of the Desaoldorf ox-
