The selection of Bismarck as the CAPT.
tai of Dakota has stimulated the demand
for territorial division, especially in the
southern portion of the territory. A
convention is now in session at Huron,
the delegates to which are pledged to take
action looking to division on the 46th
parallel and the admission of Southern
Dakota as a state at the next session of
congress. A constitutional convention is
10 be called this fall to frame a consfitu-
ton for submission to congress. The
present preliminary meeting will draft an
ordinance providing for elections in Sep
TENDER for the selection of delegates to
the constitutional convention. II looks
to us as if there is much ado in Dakota
about nothing. Congress is now demo-
cratic. 1t is not probable that a demo-
cratic congress will generously add two
republican senators to the senate, and
three republican electors to the electoral
college A contested presidential cleo
ton might easily be made to turn upon
the vote of the Dakota delegation if a
contingency like that of 1876 should again
happen. That would be reason enough
for refusing the demand of Southern Da-
kota.
In the second place it is becoming more
and more difficult to increase the number
Of states. Nevada was admitted as a politi-
cal necessity during the war and the need
of two more votes in the senate during
the reconstruction period had much to do
with the admission of Nebraska before
she had loo 5000 population. The last
state to be admitted, Colorado, was also
taken into the Union under political
pressure. Fol- the admission of Dakota
as a whole many good reasons might be
urged. But cut into two sections neither
of which is developed to more than a
1.-THE of its possibilities, with a scattering
population and vast expanses of untitled
and untillable lands, the demand for adj
mission seems, to say the least, prema-
ture. There have been a number of I'M
successful attempts made to divide Texas
and the question of division has been
preached in several other states, notably
California, but the feeling is against in
creasing the number Of political divisions.
This feeling will operate against the ad-
mission of Southern Dakota.

las, callediupon the property owners on
Harvey and Sixteenth streets TO use the
same material, and laid down the princi-
pie from the outset that the best pave
ment was the cheapest in the long run
Next to stone block, by which we do not
mean limestone or seamy sandstone,
we prefer sheet asphalt laid on
a foundation of solid concrete with
a guarantee that it will be kept in repair
for a term of years. Our grounds for
preferring asphalt to wood, block or ma
cadam, which are the only pavements to
be named mex to it and stone, have
been frequently given. They are: Its
cleanliness, its superior durability, the
ease with which it can be cut and plas-
tered over when repairs are necessary,
and the absence of dust and noise. OF
course this presumes a pavement laid by
themethod called for in Mr.. BARRIERS speci-
fications. A good asphalt pavement is
good; a poor asphalt pavement is very
poor. What The BEE has urged right
along is that Omaha shall profit by the
experience Of other cities in the matter
of paving. st. Louis has tried all
other kinds of paving material, and has
come down to granite block and sheet
asphalt. In Chicago, granite, Medina sand
stone and asphalt are the three most APP
proved pavements. In the East since
the failure of the Nicholson
wood block, granite or trap block and
sheet asphalt are being used to the exclu-
sion Of all others. We believe that for
Omaha these two are the only pavements
that ought to be considered for our level
streets. On the hill sides, where stone
would be too expensive and asphalt too
slippery, perhaps macadam properly laid
as it is in the east might be used to adj
vantage. But wherever our property
owners feel that they can afford it granite
blocks will be found by all odds the best
and decidedly the cheapest pavement that
can be secured.

Extortionafe Mnnnnnnes.

Kansas City Times.
Two great monopolies, which, under
cover OF legal protection, have made mil.
lionaires of their conductors at the ex.
pense OF the poor and needy, appear to
be in a fair way TO be broken up. The
drlve-well contest and the barbed wire
controversy, both of which have occupied
much SPACE in the public prints, and both
OF which were of the greatest Importance
to settlers in prairie states, were united
in life; and in death they are not divid-
ed. While neither question has yet been
brought before the supreme court. de-
cisions in both have recently been rem
dered by the next lower tribunal, and
they are against the claims of the mo-
nopoly sought to be established. The
ground for the decision was the same in
both cause.-the invalidity of the reissue
OF the patent. Barbed wire is so extern
sively used for fencing purposes that the
amount manufactured last year is said to
have been in the neighborhood of 500, 600
miles. The control Of all the patents
was gained under a reissue some time
ago, by a single firm, and they have since
made prices to suit themselves. Other
establishments determined to break the
monopoly by engaging in the business
themselves, and it is in the suits brought
against these for infringement of pat
ent that the important decision has
been given. In this case, as in that of
the drive-wells, it has been found that
the patent as re-issued covered a wider
ground than the original, and contained
the application of principles and i'm
provements which did not appear there
at all. The court has decided that if the
reissue goes in any respect beyond the
original, the whole is void. While a test
case will be carried up, there is little
probability that this decision will be re-
versed, and thousands of farmers will be
rejoiced at their delivery from two of
the monopolies from which they have
suffered most. Of the two, the drive
well sharks we're much the worst.

The Pioneer Press has been investi-
eating the crop question in the great
wheat sections If Minnesota and Dakota,
and comes to the conclusion hat the
territory tributary to st. Paul and Min
neapolis viii produce from 5000, 900 to
10000, 900 bushels of wheat more this
year than in any previous season. The
excessive rains have not injured the
wheat, while the cool weather accompany.
ing them has been favorable to the crop.
In the Red River valley there were even
some complaints of drought, which dis.
appeared after last weeks showers, while
in southern Dakota farmers believe that
the moisture mas not been SO excessive as
to injure the crops. Reports from Da-
kota and Manitoba indicate a great in
crease in acreage. From Dakota alone
comes estimates of a wheat crop Of 49,
900, 900 bushels, an increase of more than
20 per cent overlast year. In Manitoba
a55 per cent increase in acreage is re:
ported, with the promise Of a considerable
improvement in quality.

The Evils of Post Life.

Phnadclphia Press.
General Mcclellan is reported as say
ing that nearly every military post in the
United States has two poker games run
ming all the time. The officers make UP
one game, the privates the other. The
result is that II or two officers and three
or four privates come into possession
OF all the money left at the post by
the postmaster. If there is any life
that affords an excuse for gam
bling and excessive whisky drink
ing it is post life in times of peace.
The monotony of the daily routine, and
the absence of any serious occupation,
are sufficient to destroy all ambition and
all capacity on the part Of the regular
soldiers to perform active service when
called upon. The wonder is, not that
poker games are going ON constantly at
nearly every military post, but that army
officers and soldiers should ever recover
sufficiently from the dry rot s~uperinduced
by post life to serve the purpose of
soldiers when needed.
The rebellion made it pretty clear that
the military leaders upon whom the ma
ton must rely in time of peril are not
those officers whose characters have been
honeycombed by the consuming evils
and vices of post life. With few excep-
tions, the Grants, Shermans, McCiellans
and Terrys, of the Northern army, and
the Jacksons, of the Confederate forces,
were either drawn from among the gradu-
ates of West Point, whose mental facul-
ties and physical activity had been pre-
served by the contact with their fellow
men to be had in civil life, or they
were pure civilians, whose only previous
military experience had been gathered in
the military service. The regular officers
who remained in the army until the out
break of the rebellion, and whose service
proved of CORRESPONDING value to which
ever cause they espoused, were those
whose wits were kept sharpened in the
making of harbor improvements or in the
construction or repairing of Notifications.
1t must not be assumed, however, be-
cause post life is demoralizing, and Off.
GERS wives have been heard to say a mill
tary post is no fit place for a woman OF
man, that the officers and privates can.
not be made useful i'll an emergency after
the %enervating experience of a few years
of such life. The officers have become,
at least, experienced drill masters, and
the men most obedient machines for the
guidance of raw recruits. Sometimes,
too, a timely Indian outbreak lifts the
regular soldier out of the ruts of post
life. But this relief from post
menotony and the enervating ten.
denotes of post life now Deepen.
dent upon accident or the Indians, ought
to come regularly as part of a rejuvenat.
ed military system. Rather there should
be no monotony, no dry rot connected
with post life. Soldiers and officers need
something to do. Not merely the petty
occupation to be found in cleaning brasl
and steel, the dress parade and drum
beat, but duties that shall have an aim
that shall keep ambition awake and tn,
faculties aroused so hat wherever tn,
private or officer may be he shall daily
become a better soldier and a worthiel
citizen. Then there will not be tw,
games of poker running all the time a
every military post.

The break in the lard corner which
hopelessly stranded a score of operators
who have been attempting to force the
price in food products is a blessing undis-
guised. McGeoch and his gang deserve
no sympathy. Their system of locking
up grain, corn and lard in order to
swindle smaller spectators, and to catch
and squeeze the last dollar out of the
unwary is contrary to public policy. II

operation with all consumers of food as

PROVISION

The advance statement Of the WASH
bureau of statistics for the month
of May, with comparative statements for
five and seven months terminating with
May 31st, gives some interesting statistics
of our provision exports to foreign
countries. 1t shows that during May the
export movement was well sustained and
records a slight improvement in the ag-
gregate value of exports as compared
with the corresponding period of last
year.
There is a decided advance in the ex-
ports of fresh and sailed beef. In May,
1882, our exporters sent abroad only g.
725, 054 pounds of fresh beef and 1876
1874 of sailed beef. In hog products,
with the exception of lard, the report
shows a decided falling off.
This decrease in the export of hog pro-
duce is mainly attributable to the unjust
prejudice and discrimination which pre-
walls in Germany and France. The ex-
port of tallow during the month varies
but little from that of the like months
last year, the exports having
been 4,767,SS6 pounds in
1883 and 4,756, $50 pounds in
1882. In the way of dairy products there
was an increase in the export of butter
and "a decrease in that of cheese. Last
month the country sent abroad 977, 067
pounds of butter and 4,681, 757 pounds Of
cheese, against 545, 1884 pounds of butter
and 5,744, los pounds of cheese during
the corresponding month of last year.
Comparing the two periods, the export.
of fresh beef rose from SO, 1853, 495 pounds
in 1882 to 8 1878, $40 pounds in 1888
while sailed beef declined from 30,619,,
292 to 27,O25, 7S1 pounds. The guam.
tity Of bacon exported in 1882 wa
26O, 794, 919 pounds, against 217, 684,
Ala pounds this year. The export
trade in hams increased largely, tn,
exports having been 33, 824, S43 pounds
during the past seven months, and only
2O,SbS, 3l6 pounds during the like period
last year. Lard declined from 1863, no,
81 pounds to 13s, 303, 100 pounds; porl
from 81, sos, $50 to 43, S1s, 22s pounds
and tallow from 31,O4l, 4 9.pounds i,
1882 to 20, 718, 296 pounds in 1883. TIL
comparison between dairy products is TO
the five months ending May 81. Tn
export of butter nearly trebled, tn
quantity being 1868, DAG pounds durin
the past five months, and 2,473,47
pounds for the like period of the proceed
ing year. The difference in the chees
trade is quite considerable, the expo
having been 25, 0S0, 44S pounds In 1875
ana only 10, 13S, 467 pounds during I'll
past FIVE mnnths.
