The Admission Of Dakota,

There will he a caucus in day or two
of Republican senators to consider the
question If admitting Dakota as Il State
The question was discussed on Monday in
caucus by Allison, Mcmillan and Harri-
son, who favored it, and Hale, Of Name,
who opposed it, and desired an opportun-
ity to present some documents regarding
the Iankton county Indebtedness, for
which purpose the caucus was adjourned
The bill will soon be reached in the Sell
ate, and the only obstacle in the way OF
its passage is Senator Hale's opposition,
which is based alone upon the TACT thai
some OF his constituents hold hand OF
the repudlated Iankton county bonds.
The democrats in the senate are not
united in their opposition. The House
democrats arc SOLID against it, and it can
not be reached this session on the calcn-
dar except by suspension of the rules,
for which tWo-thlrds vote cannot he ou-
tanned. They will oppose it till after the
presidential election, and they Will tlll-
buster to prevent if necessary.

The Southern Railroad Again,

EDITOR ALERT-Permit me another
word on the subject of the southern rail
road. | Learn that my letter wllch you
kindly published the other day is attrlb
uted by some to influences IN the inter-
est of the road itself. 1t is said that the
road set in operation the influences
which are agitatmg this subject, and that
the letter was written in the interest of
the road, with the view Of getting a bo-
nus to aid in building the extension to
this point.
wish this were true, but it is not
never saw any one of the owners or man
ayers of the Milwaukee road in my
lie. | never had any communication
with any one OF them, either direct or in
direct l never had any conversation or
correspondence whatever with any per-
son acting III their interests or in their
behalf 1 am III no possible sense or
degree prlvy to any purposes, designs or
desires OF The management OF the Mil
Waukec road, any mvrc than l am with
those OF the Premier or British cabinet.
No; wrote the article solely upon my
own view Of the situation, ana wholly
from a jamestown standpoint. l think
1t Of prime importance 10 jamestown thai
tins southern railroad should be bull anu
That at the earliest practicable moment
l gave some of my reasons tor thinking
so the other day.
And think the idea that jamestown is
sure of this road in any event is very
erroneous and dangerous one. 1t seems tu
me that 1t might be quite as much 10 tie
interest of the rvad to cross the James
below, go to Sanborn and go on to the
northwest in the center OF the plateau
between the James and the Sheyenne nv
ers, and thus draw the business OF thai
whole region, as to come here and 20
north on the cast side OF the James. No
,rgument is necessary to enforce this
idea. The map and the smallest knOwl-
edge OF the situation show Its force Anu
nave heard clear headed railroad men
who have no interest III the subject
whatever declare that any railroad man
would be as likely to select that route Via
oanborn as TO select this route. | think
tins Will appear to an impartial observer
OF the facts and tie situation very plaus-
lble.
There is a real danger to jamestown in
this delay and tins inactivity. 1t is sim
ply puerlle folly TO Say we are sure of tn.
road any way; that it is bound to come to
us, and we have nothing TO do but t.
wait. Let jamestown wake up to the
Importance Of this subject and to til,
pressing necessity of prompt and ener-
yetlc action. Let the necessary effort be
put torlh and l believe the road may be
mere with the earliest SHOWS OF winter.

Advertising Tells.

A few mornings ago the Alert made
some remarks upon the indirect advant-
age derived by liberal advertising patron
age on the part Of the business men of
a town in the impression it makes abroad.
We have since received copy of the
Mason City (Ill.) Journal, in which the
editor of that paper has noted this very
evidence of the thrift and vim and enter
prise of jamestown from perusing the
Daily Alert, and, correctly Judging from
that almost infallible Indicator, he gave
our town and business men a boom that
will fix in the mind and direct the atten-
ton of perhaps thousand or more peo-
pie in that vicinity to this particular
place IN Dakota. People in distant places
intuitively measure town and it's busi-
ness by the advertising columns of the
local paper, and it is generally very cor
rect indicator. We showed one OF our
booming business men tho Mason City
paper, and, after glancing over it's adver-
tisements, he remarked that lt,would be
like going into solitary confinement for
man to go from here to that place.
The man who advertises his business not
only profits by 1t himself but the town in
which he lives.

The Place for Trees.

The soil in Allen & Dodge's addition is
especially adapted to the growth OF trees,
and by little care in planting and car
ing for them, that can, in a few years be
made a second Eden OF beauty, and those
who improve their lots there as they
should, will realize an advance of several
hundred per cent on their investment in
a short time. 1t requires time to grow
trees and parties who will in the future
come out here from the East.will pay we'll
for places of residence already shaded,
and those who have foresight enough to
prepare for this will reap rich reward
for their labor and money expended in
planting out and growing trees.

cans Of Pennsylvania who will not sur
render their politics and who maintain
the right to exercise their own conscience
and judgment concerning public affairs,
having assembled in state convention do
make the following declarations of prin-
clples and purposes: First-We declare
our attachment to the principles Of the
republican party, equal rights before the
Jaw, maintenance of public credit and
we edesire to have our industries widened
and secured. The record which has been
SO notably made must be wisely and fear
lessly perpetuated. Second.-We declare
that the nomination and election of James
A. Garfield to the presidency, his reform
in the civil service and the enlarged lib
erty for the masses, to have been in keep
ing with the history of the republican par
ty, and we deplore overwhelmingly that
the evidence presented to us in Pennsyl-
vania that the calamity of his assassina-
ton has been followed by the overthrow
of these reforms in the hands of his sue
cessor. Third.-We denounce the system
which makes patronage and spoils out of
the public offices. We donounce
the practice of giving them to
political managers for use in advancing
personal and political ends. We denounce
the removal of honest and competent Off
GERS in the absence Of public reasons We
denouncc the practice of levying assess
ments and demanding contributions for
party use from public officials. We de-
nounce fraud and corruption which ac-
company the conduct Of the government
as regards the spoils system, which are in
sepala able from such methods of admins
tration. We declare our purpose and
take up the work which fell when Gar
field fell. We demand in place of the
spolls system the reformation. We de-
mand instead of the insolcnce, the prose-
cutlon and tyranny of bossism and ma
chine politics the free and conscientious
exercise OF private judgment in political
affairs and faithful discharge of all duties
by those in whom we place our trust as
representatives.
