C., Merch 4, Representrtive Springer, in behalf of the majority of the Committee oa Territories," has prepared a report which he will present to the House, recommendiog the passage ot what i* known as the "Omnibus" bill to ena ble the people of Dakota, Montana, Washington and Xew Mexico to form State govrrments and to be admitted into tLe Union on an equality with the other Slates The report gives a ! statement of the population and re ; sources of each of the proposed States Dakota, it says, has an area of 9G,- 590,480 acres, an estimated popula tion iu 1887 of 563 477, and a taxable property valuation of $158,084 355 Attention is called to the fact that 26 847,115 seres, comprising more thsn cne fonrth of the entire area of ; the Territory, is Indian reservation land and excluded from the jnrifcdif tion of the propo.-ed State. The cli mate in the northern portion of the Territory aad the character of the lauds west of the Missouri river are also stated to be such as to preclude the possibility of a dense population In those regions. If, however, the Indian titles should be extinguished, ar.d the population become so great as to make a single State government unwieldly, Congress, the report tavs, mav provide for its division into two States. No imperative reason is seen whv the Territory should be divided at the present time. Montana, the report says, has an area of 9 016 648 acres, a population estimated to amount to 175,000 in November next, and a thx»ble prop erty valuation in 1866 of $55,076 871 The Indian reservations in the Terri tory comprise 20 574 acres. The area of Washington Territory is plßeed at 44 795 160 acres,of wbich 4 107 558 are Indian reservation Ibtdr: its population in November next, is estimated at 160 000, and its taxable property in 1887 is given as about $56,000,000, not including rail road property. Reference is also made to its great mineral and timber resources The area of New Mexico is placd at 77 568.640 acres, of which 9 587,- 226 is comprised withio Indian re*er vati<>ns An official census in 1885 showed its population to be 135.141 and its taxable property in 1886 amounted to $56,000,000. Salt and The Tariff. A salt manufacturer writes to the Wfcllhbnrg, W - Va , Herald, and ilius trates the effect of placing salt on the free list, as proposed by the Dem ocrats. Here is what tho coirespon dent of the Herald BIVS: tditor Herald: —You can buy Bait at tbe works in the Pomerov bend as low as 63 cents a barrel. The weight of a barrel of salt, gross, is 300 pounds; 280 pounds, net The tariff on suit in barrels is 12 cents a hund red pounds cr 30 cents a barrel by gross weight. So you see the salt manufacturer 36 cents worth of protection, and sccordiug to Grower Cleveland thio is just this much rob bery. Therefore the salt manufacturer ought to sell a b''-l of saltand furoi«h tbe barrel for63cents less 36cents 0»27 cents. If the barrel is worth 20 cent* th« manufacturer should only charire 7 cents then for the salt! This proves that Cleveland is a statesman and » scholar. My folks lost several thousands of dollars trviug to manufacture salt at, Pomeroy at 90 funis to sl.lO a barrel :»od how the G3 cent manufactu-er prospers puzzles me To put salt on the free list is to hit Wet-t Virginia another blow below the belt. Yours Truly, A B. Eaten By Wolves. Minnewa, Kan , March 6 A bo rible siory comes from Poplar Grove, a small town 30 miles south east of Fort Totten. A farmer sent bis son out ou Saturday morning to clear a path to a hay stack several rods away. He bad been hboveiing •mow for half au hour when his crie* were heard iu tbe bouse. The old mau seiz-d his sbo'gun and rushed out io time to s<'<* b<* boy i*urroundt:J by a pick of wolven, which were kill mg biui. After fi'injf both barrel without efffet, he clubbed bis >run and made a most de-perate eflort to defend bin*»'!f, but be w»is powerless against the wolves From the win down of the house his agorized wife and children witnessed the ooc-Hid<-d fi/ht. The resistance did nut last long,aud then for an hour ihe wolves feasted upon their victims. The woman dare not leave the house,and remained thereuntil neigh b >rs came CrunKed,- ll' sbless bori'-n and cloibing torn to shreds, alone nbowed where the battle had taken place. That pare of the Territory is sparsely settled, and the people, thor oughly terrorized by the occurrence, have armed themselves. Something About Easter. This year Paster will fall on the Ist of April—nine days earlier than last year. The eariiewt possible (lay for Kaster is the 22d of March, and it fell on that day in 1818 —for the last time in ahont 200 years. (Joe object, in arranging tti's caiundar moon was , that Easter might never full on the same day as the Jewish I'assover Thev did occur, however, in 1805 on the 14th day of April, in 1825 on the 31 day of April and will do so apaii: in 1923 on th<* Ist day ot April, in 10 JT on the 17'h of April, and in PHI on the Igthof April, Last yetir E i-t.er and the Passover were scp.u a ted bv hut a eingle night The J -w --ish festival u-iual'v occurs in I'ua, n week, in Lent, and never before the L'.i hof April. On the other hand, the Christian feni.ival is u ver before the 221 of March, or after the 2.Sth of Apnl In 1013 Ei.nter will fall on tne 22 of March us it did iu 184') and 1856 The last Easter occurred in 1 887. on the 2f»t.h of April, and will riot, full on that dale again until 1013 —Ex.

Among tho Pennsylvania members, says an exchange, tho sentiment ngainst the Mill's Tariff hill exteuds from the Republicans pretty thor oughly among the Democrats. Mr Scott is for it, of course, for the pulic ical strategy in it is largely of his rec ommending Norman Hall, howev er, from the district adjoining, is very doubtful about his ability to stand by it, and, though objecting to taking ground directly against his party, he Bays this evening that he cannot vote for the bill. Mr. Dalzull, of course, is opposed to it, not only on account of its iron and uUss schedules, but in general on account of its undoubted bud on every industry it touch es. He Mid this evening that ho had not studied it enough to giyo any iu telligent criticism of i's provisions, but ; hat it seemed to him to l»o illog ical, badly arranged f public land that may be »*u ter<'d for a homestead to Ho acres and to allow none but citizens ol the U ii ted States to acquire title to public laud uuder the homestead law or oth erwise. Mr. Jacksou holds that tho quantity of good Agricultural laud now own»-d by the United States is so tmall and that th« number of citi zens who do not own auy laud are 1 great that 80 acres is us much as | should be given one persou Mr | Jscksou thinks also that denying the I aliens the beuetjt of the public land ' law will tak'i awav one of the strong arguments which contractors have to induce pauper laborers to come here from forcigu countries under contract. — lux.
