Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1882-12-23

1t ls stated in Pioneer Press special
that the Dakota admission and the Yank-
ton county bond bills will not be called
up until after the holidays. It also
says that Senator Vest, the gentleman
who represents the outlaw state of Mis-
souri,, is SO shocked over the proposition
to include the lawless people of Dakota
in the union of states that he is prepar.
ing speech which will lay bare our in
iquities to the shuddering gaze of
the world. He will show that
once upon a time, when
Dakota was composed of a handful of
people who lived in an extreme corner
of the domain, there existed law which
prevented the collection of debts con.
tracted outside of the territory. We can
assure him that the men who made this
now defunct law are either dead or have
become rowing bandits in the woods Of
Missouri, where the constituents of SEN
ator Vest render them protection, did
and comfort. He will also set forth that
we have an extensive exemption law.
This is true. It was made in
the days of grasshopper raids
and drouths, when protection
became an absolute necessity to the few
who inhabited the territory. But with
the beginning of statehoodit is proposed
to modify this provision. Senator Vest
will further remark in his forthcoming
speech that "the statutes absolutely for.
bid the maintenance of debt against a
county through laws made sklllfully sup
Elemental to each other" This isn't
true. County warrants and county bonds
generally.are as good as the note of o
Vanderbilt. The enactments to which
he refers apply only to Yankton county
and were enacted as a temporary expe-
dient pending settlement which con-
gress knows all about. The telegraphic
account of the intentions of Senator
