The Hon. w. w BRooKINes, of
Yankton, recently introduced in the
npper House of the Territorial Assem-
bly, of Dakota, memorial asking Con-
gress TO organize into n new territory
that portion of Dakota west of Nebraska
and South of Montana, stating that IL
contains from FIVE to ten thousand inhab
itants, and the Development of the
Sweetwster mines makes il probable
that by the coming summer there will
be fully ten thousand men in that sec
ton. and that the eastern and western
portions of Dakota are isolated from
each other, with no interests in common
aEd the nature of the country requires
persons passing from the one part OF the
territory TO the other TO travel through
the State of Nebraska. The memorial
further asks that the name of the new
Territory shall be Lincoln" instead of
% Wyoming" the name under which it
was Originally proposed 10 organize il,
The Cheyenne Argus is ssfrongly opposed
TO changing the name of Wyoming, but
the entire press Of Cheyenne are in favor
of the new Territory.

THE st. Joe Union of late date pub

for by responsible parties. of the discov-
cry of rich quartz leads in the Big Horn
Mountains, on Clear Creek, some twenty
five miles west of Fort Phil Kearney.
The first party who went out were driven
back to the Fort by Indians before Gbey

of Ram District was given it by the
miners. Sinking on the north fork Of
Clear Creek for placer mines, they found
good prospects but found no bed rock at

will be big rush of emigration to this
region next spring. The section OF coun-
try, of which this is the eastern and the
Sweetwater mines the western edge, has
long been believed to be rich gold bear

next point toward which prospectors
will tend. In "a, party from Virginia

ALL have heard of, and many have
seen, the white. cold looking obelisk that
catches the eye successively after the
Capitol and Observatory as one, many
miles distant, approaches Washington
from the South or West how inper-
ceptibly its proportions dwarf on near
ing it. until standing at its base and gaz-
ing upward, its colossal proportions,
massive grandeur, and the memory OF
him it is reared to, impresses one with
admiration for the work, and quickens
reverence for the immortal Washington
the Father of his Country. There IL
stands, magnificently projected, partially
builded of voluntary tributes from each
of the several States of the Union and
the great nations of the earth, and yet
the sound of the gavel has been hushed
tor years and rude desolation marks the
spot. But ia of the 343 feet it is des-
tined TO be in hight have been LAID. Its
extensive grounds, laved by the Poto-
mac. whose ripping echoes like a sad
requiem from the marble sides of the
monument, and where millions will come
| TO do honor TO one of the worlds trua
heroes, has been for years a stock yard,
and it is sixty-eight years since the ini-
sial steps were taken to erect it. II isa
disgrace to abandon a design SO laudabls.
The Association, it appears, is alb ,ut to
make one more effort, it is to be hoped
with success, Ii is proposed that the
| National Banks subscribe one tenth of
one per cent. of their capital stock. pay
able one fourth cash, the remainder in
two, three and four years. This, on q
capital stock of 100000. would be $s5
cash, and three other equal payments
annually, which, with the appropriation
1 that Congress would make and the con-
tributions that the people would impul-
sively offer if the work were recoms
menced, would be sufficient to complete
it in accordance with the original de-
sign 1t is TO be devoutly wished that
the proposition may meet with earnest
support.

WE some time since, in giving sum
mary of the laws. copied that portion of
the act concerning jurors, making the
following exemption, which from the
rather amusing association of odds and
ends, we itslicised as follows: "Ths
Legislature. has exempted the following
classes from serving as jurors; Minis
ters, lawyers, physicians, officers of the
law, editors, idiots. insane persons, and
regularly enrolled firemen." Our cotem-
poraries seem TO thinkit a pretty heavy
thing either on the editors or idiots, as
it has had general circulation. Per
haps it is startlingly strange, and such
exemptions are not made in other com
monw. alths.

AZ Miss Daisy Pratt, Northern Democrat,

acknowledging the courtesy intended her,
little Daisy went on with the recitation Of
beautiful poem eulogistic Of the flag and
Democracy Of the nation, and the bearers
of the nations hope, Seymour and Blair.
The recitation was handsomely made, and
in such earnest and eloquen: manner as 10
show that the fair-haired little stranger
felt tie force and beauty Of the words she
was uttering. As she ended the lines,
thousands OF stout Democratic hearts,
speaking "A with one loud, reyerberating
voice, said God bless you, little Daisy"

Couldn't Get i'm.

We noticed yesterday sitting on the
steps leading to the Registers Office, a
soldier of the war of 1912, who had come a
distance of nine miles from the eountry to
endeavor 10 get a certificate. The gang
way was 50 crowded with negroes that he
was unable to reach the office Of the
Register, and for hours he continued seated
until weary and exhausted, he left the
place, and probably returned 10 his home.
If the Commissioner had seen the veuer-
able looking old hero, pleading as be was
for the privilege of voting his last time,
he might have granted his request, and
Issued the certificate, but he couldn't see
him; there was a wall Of darkness between
the hero Of the present day and the hero of
the oldeniime. Poor old man he hardly
seemed to realize the fact that there had
been wonderful change since he voted for
the first President, George Washington.
