At the recent election in Dakota between three and four times ns many votes were cast for one territorial delegate to Congress as the entire vote of Georgia for ten Representatives; and yet the democratic party and these same representatives of the solid South have persistently and viciously opposed every attempt that has been made to do justice to Dakota by having it admitted into the, sisterhood of States, It it is well sejd that high license and local option saved the Republican party in this state at the recent election, and the{ground thus taken cannot be safely abandoned AVhile the Legislature is under the control of the opponents of this policy, little, if anything can be done for its advancement, but the Republicans can stand by it and hope, wait and work for a better opportunity. It is the measure of temperance reform within our reach in Indiana, and is bound to prevail betore many Jea»£- have passed.—Lafayette ournal. \

ADVANCE.

When General Jackson was a practicing attorney in North Carolina he was at one time so hard ' pressed for funds that he decamped from cme of the courts without paying his bill. Soon after he removed to Tennessee, and the landlord’s only method of revenging himself for the failure to pay was ter write opposite fats name ~~rrpan the register of the inn the amount for which his guest had defaulted, with a pithy statement of his opinion of the conduct of his guest This reoord is still to be read in the register of the old inn; but underneath it some years after the . landlord wrote in characters, each one of which was indicative of a jubilation sufficiently intense to justify the local tradition that it required a stalwart friend upon each side to hold him upright while it was penned: “Paid in full by the glorious victory at New Orleans!” Old Hickery never received a better compliment than this, and the Republican party never had heartier quittance than the Bystander gives, while he trusts and prays thaj, its victory may be the prelude of even nobler achievements than the past has recorded of it When four years ago it was in the slough, of despond the Bystander was among the first to rally for attack upon the enemie’s works and in the hour of triumph he will not be the last to demand advance. The Republican party cau not stand still. The campaign has indeed been an education, not alone along the line of imposts, but in that broader realm of National economies which teaches that the general welfare independent upon the general attention to public question inland general performance of political duty by the American people. The Repnhiican party will find that it has something more than the tariff and the surplus to face in the next four years. The question of one free vote for every free man, a lair count and the suppression of the “bulldozer” and the corrupionist of the ballot, this remains as it was in 1860, and as it must be until it is settled—ths most important question of American politics—Judge Tourgee in Inter

A Word to Watterson.

Milwaukee Sentinel; ~ Henry Wutterson talks like a fool. Speaking q£ a possible foreign war he aa3’s: “The Northwest has decided in such an emphatic manner that we shall not take part in the administration of the goyeminent of the country that it to know that we are to beallowed to fight for it. While it is a crime for Southern men to fill civil positions of trust and responsibility Under the government, it is some consolation ‘to be told that they may enlist in the arepy for the next war*- —- This is gall. : Through the suppression of a legal vote in the South, Cleveland was made president and Congress was filled up with Southern : Democrats. Six Southern Democrats, against two Northern Democrata, were appointed on the Ways and Means committee to.carry out a scheme for a complete revolution of our industrial policy, devised by Carlisle and Watterson, Southern Democrats, “to close up northern furnaces” for the benefit of the South. You fellows simply want the earth. No sooner was the Democratic party restored to the power it lost in 1860 than the South became predominent, as it was before. j* ' The Northwest doesn’t object to your taking part in the administration of the government, only you are not satisfied to take partyon wanted to take all. Four years have been enough to show a great many things, and in your greed and high-handed domination of the government you have simply induced the North to put on the brakes. The gigantic wrong of the time is the 156 Southern elec-

toral votes based |on less than three million of votes, while an equal number of Northern electoral votes is sustained by nearly five million votes. Yet with some fraudulent returns and fraudulent electoral votes, you Southern Democrats took charge of the whole business and proposed to smash Northern industries as the final triumph of sectionalism. For a people who are “solid” in sectionalism you are a nice lot to talk about the sectionalism of the North. You are a .nice party to "plead for toleration, you are! The Northwest does and will agaiu and again, as long as sectionalism binds the Southern states together in the interest of the Democratic party, protest at the polls against the colossal wrong. You and such men as you who fire the Southern heart, are the worst enemies of the. South and of the country. Think of a Presidential campaign in which nearly half the States took no part—their i 53 electoral votes secure for a party because the South and not any particular principle, dominated that party! You have left the South in a nice condition with your preaching of solidity. Every man of standing in the South has been forood to be a HemocrafTahd with the coming of a new admistration they are all without the infiuenc that soiitey>f the best element in every community should have with any administration. And now you have the impudence to complain qf the sectionalism of the Northwest.

Who Are Floaters.

As a rule only two classes of persons sell their votes. Those who tlo not read political newspapers, and those who are slaves of drink. Political parties have rightly named them “floaters” No Legislation can afford more than a partial protection from the evil which, if suffered to prevail will be ,the destruction of our government The sacredness of the ballot, and the high mission of him upon whom the use of it is conferred should be impressed upon the child at home and the pupil in the school. It should be a prominent feature 1 of education. Every family ought to provide itself with a good political newspaper, aud see to it that the members of the family understand the principals discussed, aud have pronounced views in regard to them. A voter will no sooner sell his vote, if he has settled convictions, than he will his freedom.' A v e venture the assertioti Jthat the gieat army of “floaters’* is recruited from the ranks of those who do not read political newspapers. The newspaper must be the agent in putting this army to rout In Fulton county not more than two-thirds of the voters take a political paper. Let the other third do the same and yote-buying will be reduced to a small number of Esaiis, and utimately be unknown in the country.—Rochester Tribune. <•

Mr. Owen's “Romance.”

LogfißSport Journal ■ The silly romancing of the Chicago special disbatch to the Indianapolis Journal of last Sunday,

with reference to the engagement of Hon. W. D. Owen to Mrs. Luce, ! during his illness at the Republican National Convention, is “going the rounds’’ of the newspapers, j and will probably be generally ac- | cepted as the truths when there is 'scarcely a word pf truth in it. This Journal has. given the correct version of the matter, and the Lafayette Call furnishes a further statement of the facts in the case, as follows: “The romance'is all ‘moonshine/ as we are informed by a lady of this city, who has been a steady correspondent of Mr. Owen’s and is now about to reluctantly relinquish that privilege. Mr. Owen was, in fact, taken sick in Chicago, at the convention, being overcome by the heat, and he was nursed by the ledy, Mrs. Luce, but she had a right to do so, for she had then been his affianced wife for nearly a year, and their presence in the same hotel at that time as guests was by arrangement, and not by accident, eaeli being there in company with friends in order that the whole party might attend the convention and see the sights of the city at that most interesting season. It is only needful to say further that Mr. Owen has many warm friends here in Lafayette, gained during his former years of residence, who will co|dially join in “wishing him joy” in his new relation, and congratulate him upon winning so fair and worthy a bride.”
