The New York Tribune is enthusiastic
over the last veto, and takes occasion to
say Of the three vetoes in a group:
The vetoes of President Hayes come like
rifle shot, straight to the spot, solid, com.
pact, and Irresistible. There is no fuss
about them, and yet they are always filled
with new ideas, even after a subject has
been debated for months in both houses of
congress. They are short enough to be
read by every intelligent citizen, and that
is no secret of their remarkable power.
Nevertheless. they present in clear and for
chile form the entire argument against the
measures vetoed. They are as full Of rea-
sons as Of pluck, and as full of pluck as an
egg Is Q f'meat. Every word is a blow, and
every blow hits.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF DAKOTA

In the development of Dakota the waiting
il ended and the day eff fulfllment has come.
There Is q novel scene in the history of the
northwest. Rules of judgment or expecta-
ton based upon experience in the eastern
parts Of this great prairie region do not
fully apply now and here. Enterprise is
again free upon these plains, and fears, f.
nancial and commercial, are put behind in
the vigor Of the work and the rush of action
which enter upon the field. .I
The struggle to. settle Southern Dakota
has been longer and the progress slower
than in any other division east or south Of
II. Since the beginning, about 1860: the
national troubles and financial disasters
have interviewed, besides Indian wars and
other events hostile to q new country. Be.
sides tlUe weights the United States has
refused to subsidize even one railroad across
q lands To- help the development Of all.
We have been LEFT betwssa the great lines
Of travel and commerce, walled in on the

assumed a new importance. See, now, wha
all these changes have wrought in our pro
grea. All The great railroad corporation
Of the northwest are pushing hard for thsi
share in our great dsyelopment. Hsretofor

the power and the array Of those who now
contend for these prizes. The Chicago, Mil.
waukee and. St. Paul Co. has the lead now
upon it's main line and will, before SNOW
flies, plant the flag of victory upon the bank
of the Missouri, 200 miles within Dakota.
Besides this it has the Hastings and Dakota
trunk line nearly toour territory At Big
Stone lake, and to follow within it next year
if not this; and the Minnesota Southern R.
r. nov pushing for q new trunk line across
about 60 miles north Of the main line, j
Thus one corporation alone would seem
to have enough lines to fairly develop
southern Dakota. The Chicago and North
western, however, comes with equal power
and promise. Its main line from Tracy,
Nisn., is now building and its route is
directly west and centrally across southern
Dakota with branches from it. Then its
Kampeska branch is constructed 80 miles in. |
to Dakota through an attractive region and
will 60 on toward Bismarck. Besides
these the Northwestern has practical con.
n%ections into southern Dakots and to Yank.1
ton, with the proposed branch up the Da.
kota valley. Now comes the st Paul and
Sioux City with a main line across Dakota
from Heron Lake, Mimi, upon which the
dirt is now flying and the iron being spiked
down. A great force is at work and the
materials are all provided. They ale build
ing another line down the rock river in
Iowa to Eden, Dakota, and thence west
ward. Further north there is q line pro-
posed from Fargo or Breckenridge to and
lown the Dakota valley.
Thus every part of southern Dakota is
,ow assured Of railroads within two years.
md many efthem will be far on their way
his summer. One certain, and probably
;wo, of these new lines, will strike Yank.
:on and these together with the proposed
inc up the Dakota river will give US con.
with every part and bring compel
ng rates to US. The sum of it all is that
southern Dakota is ready for settlement
his hour upon every one of Its rich acres.
30 where you will the railroad follows
close upon you. There are no land grants
md all Is free
Our city feels the impulse of the CON-
nerce that is and Is to come and nj sister
owns are jubilant with the new life. Da-
zota is happy and accepts the congrstula-
lions Of these great friends that come TO de-
Velop our resources.

REsuMPTIoN-Th resumption of specie
payments began on the 1st day of January.
1t has caused, as yet, 30 financial distress in
any quarter, nor is it likely to do So. The
act having been 80 long anticipated, the gov
eminent and capitalists have had time to pre-
pare for every contingency which might
arise. Besides, the difference in value be-
tween paper money and gold has been mere
ly nominal for several months past ~. q,
Hopeful prophets promise great impetus
to all kinds of business enterprise, in this new
year 1879, basing their predictions upon the
facts that the balance of trade is largely in
our favor, and that we now making and sell.
ing in foreign countries many articles that
were formerly imported; that people have
learned to be economical and to be satisfied
with smaller profits than were received dur.
ing the flush times of the war; that our crops
have been abundant, and although low
prices prevail, yet all kinds of manufactured
articles and family necessities are also pro,
portionately low. In short there can be no
reason now why prosperous times should not
come. Let US hope for the best, and each
one, by economy, by strict attention to busf-
ness, and by paying his debts as soon as pos
sible, aid in bringing about the good times
