Three inccndiary fires have been attempt
cd within the past week, at Bismarck. and
either, under full headway, would have
nearly destroyed the town and left scores
of people homeless and pennilcss. The
first, on Sunday, was in rear of Capitol

lice force of tho city, and have taken other
precautionary measures, and we know VIC
estimate the sentiment and disposition OF
our people truly when we say that another
attempt will probably result in the death
of tramp or two, should suspicion point
that way. Though our lawyers sometimes
drink success to crime it isn't safe for bad
men TO fool with this scommunity. Justice
is certain to overtake criminals, and that
too right speedily, but we feel confident
that there il and will be no disposition to
allow the law to take its course when the
fire-bug is found-justicc will be reached

Soldiers, Izomestend.

There has been much inquiry in rcla-
tien 10 soldiers homcsteads for which two
dollars and fifty cents per acre has been
offered, and much misapprellension of the
law granting these lands exists.
The soldiers homestead act grants to
each person who served during portion
of the late war, or to their heirs, the right
to take a quarter section ofthc government
land, whether included in the limits of
railroad land grants or not, but settlement
is required on these lands the same as on
other homestead lands by other homestead
settlers, and the original right is not worth
anything except to the party entitled to
make the settlement, who, if he served four
years in the army, must reside upon the
land one year; if three years only two years
residence is required; if two years service
then three years residence, and if only a
few days then nearly five years, or enough
to make five years less the time in service.
A few years ago, however, soldiers were
not allowed to take within the limits Of
the railroad land grant more than eighty
acres, and those who then took claims
which were afterward proved up arc now
entitled to take an additional amount Of
government land sufficient to make one
hundred and sixty acres, taking into &C
count that heretofore taken. For instance,
if the party had taken forty acres he is en-
titled to take one hundred and twenty acres
more; il eighty acres then he can take
eighty acres more, and he is entitled to
this land without making settlement, it on
ly being necessary to prove that he had
once complied with the requirements OF
the homestead law and had taken less than
one hundred and sixty acres.
There are few, indeed, who are entitled
to these additional lands, though thous-
ands are entitled to soldiers homesteads-
to one hundred and sixty acres, where
those who did not serve arc entitled to but
eighty.

Relov will h, f0nnd an extract from tn

The Territories In Csngress.
Below will be found an extract from the
81. Paul PioneerP Press Washington letter
which mentions the bill for redistricting
the several territories and cutting down
the members and the pay Of the members
Of the territorial legislatures. The Dakota
Herald blames Judge Kiddcr for the pas
sage Of the bill referred 70, and yet it wa,
opposed by every territorial delegate in
Congress and by Gen. Garfield, Eugene
Hale and other strong men. The Demo-
crats, however, found in this measure an
opportunity for saving few dollars at the
expense of people whose votes arc of no
use to them, and they have improved their
opportunity, though injustice and hard
ship may follow. But that is the way they
have of doing things, and We nrc not sur
prised that their organ in this territory JUS
titles them and at the same time seeks to
blame the republican delegate just because
he is Republican for not being able to
check wrong which 3 Democratic con-
gross is bent upon perpetrating in the
name of economy. Of fthis char ac;er is the
Legislation which proposes to reduce the
army, the policy which witholds appro-
priations for surveys, and which cripplcs
the pension and other offices by withhold
ing needed appropriations. ga 5s-
The extract alluded to is as follows:
Judge Kidder very properly got hir
back up in the house, the other day, when
the legislative, executive and Judicial ap-
preparation bill was under consideration.
The bill contains provision That the
councils of each of the Territories of the
United States shall not exceed nine men,
bcrs, and the house of representatives. OF
each shall not exceed eighteen members:
and the members of each branch Of the
several Territorial legislatures shall receive
compensation of 81 per day each during
the session provided for by law, and they
shall receive such mileage as the law pro-
vidcs" The provisions not only reduces
the number Of members of the Legislature
of Dakota, but also reduces their pay from
| SC to - and was of course strenuously op-
posed by the delegates from the Territories,
and particularly by Kidder, who, in view
Of the immense increase of population OF
the Territory of Dakota-from 5000 at the
the time of its organization, sixteen years
ago, to nearly 100000 now-insisted that
the number of the members of the lcgisla-
ture should not be reduced rs proposed,
even if upon the score OF economy. their
per diem should be placed at "a. The clo-
quencc of the Judge, however, and the
combined efforts of all the delegates with
such other friends as they could muster
were not sufficient 10 prevent the provi-
sions from being adopted az reported by
the committee. The members of the leg
islature of Dakota will therefore be re-
duccd from thirteen councilmen 10 nine.
and from twcnty-six representatives to
eighteen. at - per day instead of Sc az
heretofore. rrr. =....
