THE LATE CAPT. MGARRY.
Bismarck Tribune.

Yesterday afternoon this community was
surprised with the report that Capt. James
McGarry vas dead. Two weeks ago he
came off the steamer Butte sick with noun.
tain fever, and went to the Sheridan. II
was generally known that he was quite ill,
but no probability Of his death was sug-
gested until Thursday night and Friday
morning. Capt. McGarry was born of Irish
parents in Canada, and was about ~forty-one
years ofage. Ofhis history little is known.
He was q man with few confidants. There
is no knowledge obtainab!e as 10 his rela-
tions. 1t is believed that he had some
friends living near Wilson Station, Wiscon-
Elm. but who they are no one knows. He
went on the Mississippi river as a steam
botman in 1857 and came on to the Nilsson.
ri in 1864. He built all the steamboats, ol
the Benton line, was superintendent and
one of the heaviest stockholders. He wal
one OF the very best steamboatmen on til
river, and was unusually popular and up
right. The funeral will take place at th,
Catholic church tomorrow Sunday at
p. N. The remains of the captain-will b,
inferred in the Catholic cemetry, whLre
monument will be erected by his associates

TERRITORIAL DIVISION.

The teachers tell us that fresh converts
to hackneyed theories are invariably the
warmests enthusiasts in behalf of the new
born conviction which has come upon
them. In proportion to their previous op-
position to the idea they have suddenly
espoused is their advocacy Of the cause
made strong and unrelentipg. 1t is, we
presume, this inevitable law of nature which
moves the Deadwood Times TO cut loose
from all its previous arguments and en-
treaties in opposition to a new territory and
to nnounce in the most positive terms
that separate territorial organization is q
condition which must come to the Black
Hills If the Black Hills ever expect to cut
any figure in the world. Throughout pre-
vlous new territory agitation in :he Hills the
Times steadfastly opposed the movement
and advanced many excellent reasons why
it was better to cling to the old organiza.
ton. Now that it has faced about in it's
tracks and is advocating that which it for
merly frowned upon, it is ably opposing
that which it SO ably favored q few short
months ago. We do not enter upon this
explanation of the "fop" which the Times
has taken for the purpose Of opposing the
new cause of the Times. That paper is the
representative of a solid, sensible bust
ness element in the Hills. 1t has usually
been upon the fair side of public questions
and has upheld the interests and desires Of
those who are the real founders of Black
Hills prosperity. Its sudden change oil
heart is therefore significant. It conveys
the impression that there is a growing SEN
timent, outside of political circles, in favor
of separation. Other newspapers in Dead
wood, organs Of feeble rings, have from the
beginning of Black Hills time pounded
with puny strokes upon the wedge of
division without so much as effecting an
opening. The masses OF the people, the
representatives of business interests and
material progress, we're not with them.
But if it should follow that the new cause
of the Times is the cause of those classes
whose support means something more than
a desire for federal patronage, We may look
for a vigorous and possibly effective effort
towards the separation of the Black Hills
portion of Dakota from the balance of the
territory. While this scheme is in progress
southeastern Dakota will probably assume
the attitude of disin:erested spectator, un
less it should happen that the new territory
organizers attempt 10 carry away with them
more of Dakota than We feel that they are
reasonably entitled to. A fair division
proposition would meet with aid, rather
than opposition, from this corner of Dako-
ia. We are not SO welded to our Isolated
mining n%eighbors that we cannot bid them
good bye with a hearty hand shake and 8
wish that thew may prosper as a separate
political division and build up a state oil
their own. Confident of our ability to "gc
it alone" and feeling that the Black Hills
are equally independent of us, we can see
no reason why both sections should moi
agree to the separation.

The st. Paul Globe contains the views of
some of the leading lawyers of the State
in regard to the proposed bankrupt law
The following is the title Of the bill, and
briefly explains what it proposes to accom-
plsh:
A bill to provide for voluntary bankrupt
cy of iusoivent debtors, and for compuIso
ry proceedings against such debtors, and
for an equitable distribution of the proper
ty of such debtors among their creditors,
and for a discharge of such debtors from
their debts, and to prevent frauds upon and
preferences among creditors.
The majority condemn the bill as being
oppressive and unjust, although many are
of the opinion that some such law is re-
quired. The principal grounds for the OBJ
jections are that it places too much power
i'll the hands of the creditor, and the un
scrupulous creditor could ruin any one
owing him small account. 1t is probable
that the bill will be modified and amended
so IS to relieve it Of some of its objection
able features.

not improbable that the candidates for the
office of President and Councilmen will be
required to make some pledge to the peo.

cause two tickets 10 be put in lhe field.
There is some sense in this mode of dealing
with the liquor traffic. as all know how
futile all attempts at its total expulsion
from any locality have proven, and we do
not think there are many i'll the village who
will oppose the placing of the license at
such figures ns will result in having the
traffic put in the hands of responsible par
ties. Some of the saloon keepers are in
favor of this measure, al least we are given
to understand so. 1t is i'll these mems hands
the trade would go, aud their character and
the orderly and well conducted houses they
now keep is u guarantee of their being the
proper parties to conduct this business
BY placing the trade Is. the hands of two
or at the most three parties, they could
we'll afford to pay the increased license,
as they would get third of the revenue
where they now get but one-sixth. We
hope every voter who has any interest
whatever in the welfare and prosperity of

matter; it is of much Importance to US, for

man. and we appeal to every voter in this
