Delegate Kidder has introduced a bill
into congress for the construction of q peni-
Tertiary in the territory of Dakota. Bills
calling for expenditures for the benefit Of
the territories do not generally receive
much attention from the wise law makers OF
the nation, but if any pressure can be
brought to bear which will secure the pas
sage of this act it will prove an economi-
cal measure for the tax payers of Dakota
Already the number of our criminals with
in the Detroit prison is large and
the force is each year increasing.
To maintain them is an expense from which
no return is realized by the territory except
the immunity 1t enjoys from their unlawful
operations. With a territorial prison es-
tablished within our own control the labor
of convicts will make them self supporting,
at least, and if there is any profit to be
derived from their work it will be passed to
the credit of the territory. The expense of
constructing such a penitentiary need not be
great. The territory is n maintaining a
sufficient number OF convicts to perform
most Of the construction work. There ex-
lists on the Jim river, in the neighborhood
of Rockport, an exhaustless store of the
stone, which can be easily quarried and
rapidly worked into shape for building
purposes. Convict hands might perform
this work. A temporary building for theis
reception might be erected In the neigh
borhood of the quarries and the prison
proper could then be constructed at . con
psrstively small expense by those who are
to be confined within It's walls. The local.
ity named is a suitable place for the pro
posed penlten,iary, and As nature has done
so much t,wards rendering available the
material there stored away, the project b
comes entirely feasible

Mr.. Waddell's bill fixing the rate of COM
pensation of postmasters and putting a stop
to the trade In postage-stamps by small
spostmasters has been agreed upon by the
house postofice committee, and will be re-
ported to the house on the next call of the
committee. The necessity for the bill to
protect the postal revenues will no doubt
expedite its passage.

MIR. H. r. STEVENS:
In 1872 your yeRetinc was recommended to
me-, and. yielding to the persuasions Of a friend,
| consented to try 1t. AT the time l was suffer
ing from general debility and nervous prOstra-
ton, superinduced by overwork and irregular
habits. Its wonderful Strengthening and cura;
tive properties seemed to affect my deDllitated
system from the first dose; and under Its per-
sistent use i rapidly recovered. gaining more
than usual health and good feeling. Since then
l have not hesitated to give vegetino my most
and powerful agent in promoting health and re-
storing the wasted system to new life and ell
ergy. veEetine is the only medicine l use
and as long as 1 live l never expect to find a bet
ter. Yours truly.

WHAT IS NEEDED.

II. r. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir:-About one year since l found my
self in a feeble condition from general debility.
vegetine was strongly recommended to ne by
a friend who had been much benefited by its
use I procured the article, and. after using
several bottles, was restored to health, and dis
continued its use. l feel quite confident tina
there is no medicine superior to it for those COM
plants for which it is especially prepared, and
would cheerfully recommend 1t to those who
feel that they need something to restore them to
perfect health.

A reduction Of the dutiable list from over

the fires list by admitting free all articles
not enumerated as subject to = tariff charge
for entry; and an average decrease Of twen-
ty per cent In present duties, may be styled
simpliication, but they really amount to Q
revolution in our customs laws. And this
Is the preposterous and ruin0us scheme that
is claimed to be intended to rccuperate cur
paralyzed Industries and help our crippled
manufacturers to q larger export trade! On
the contrary, the bill is written all over.
from beginning to end. with evidences Of
being carefully prepared in the interest of
importers, and, moreover, Of only those who
do business at the ocean ports OF entry.
The pretense that the bill is for the benefit
of the manufacturers will be received with
derision and contempt. s
Among the most radical chsnges is the
reputation of the eim,l.tIde provisions
contained in the following section of the
revised statutes:
Sec. 2,499. There shall be levied. collected and
paid on each and every On-enumerated article
which bears u similitude. either in material,

which is levied and charged on the enumerated
article which it most resembles in any Of the
particulars before mentioned and If any non
