AS will beseen by a perusal of the

AS will beseen by a pefusal OF the
document elsewhere, N. G. Ordway, gov
ernor of Dakota, has made his annual re-
port to the secretary of the interior. He
has the opportunity of going before the
department once year in self defense
and he never misses a chance. Ii the
general government would so arrange
matters that the people who suffer from
the misrule Of territorial governors
could have an equal showing
with their oppressors it would
be at least equitable. A
governor addresses the source of his
official power in his own behalf and no
matter what corrupt means he Las en-
ployed in his official career. lie is given
the privilege of presenting an exparte
explanation in his own interest. The
governor of Dakota is just the man to
profit by such chance. He is sharp and
unscrupulous and he knows that, under
the rules of the department, there is
absolutely no appeal from his misrepre-
sentations. 1t is said that in this partic-
ular instance Nehemiah embellishes his
report with numerous newspaper clip
pings. We can imagine the source of
these excerpts, though we have seen none
of them. They are taken from about a
dozen Dakota newspapers. There are as
many as two hundred other newspapers
i'll the territory from which he would not
care to quote in behalf of his standing as
an honest man, and these he prudently
lets alone. il ls related in the report of
the report that the governor defends
and excnses the capital commission
mquity. He doubtless gives his own
SIDE OF this corrupt piece of legislation
and omits to tell the secretary OF the
interior OF the scandalous part he per.
formed i'll carrying it out. The entire
report, indging from the account We
have of it, is a special plea for Ordway
and denunciation OF those who have
| fought him step by step in the consum.
nation of his iniquitous purposes.

January /, 1884, at q cost, excl usivc Of
the ground, OF nearly $3.50. eco.
Al the beginning Of his report he says
there is very little vaineless land in
Dakota. Mining still continues in
the Black Hills, bur the increase
has not been as great as
during the previous year. TIE average
yield Of wheat was frem fifteen to twenty
bushels per acre. During the year sl25,
000 was expended in founding and main.
tanning the public schools.
II. he says, some plan ls devised for
giving the Indians land in severalty, the
Black Hills country will soon become
very productive. Ali the best lands east
of the Missouri river open to settlement
on entry as tar north as the Northern
Pacific railroad, will be taken up by
January lat. Owing to the scarcity Of
water, and the necessity for expensive
mining machinery, the production of
gold and silver has not been as large az
itwouid under more favorable conditions.

Lyman Burgess, wealthy farmer of
Clay county, was member of the house
IN the Dakota Legislature of 1862, when
the capital of this territory was located
at fankton. He states that the house
refused for days to vote for Yankton as
the capital, and that the vote was only
carried by the intimidation of members
by United States troops, who were
marched into the hall of representatives.
with fixed bayonets. This is little
piece of Yankton history, and is not
very far removed from their present
effort to override the action of the last
Northumberland; Capital.
Mr.. Burgess might have stated futher.
more that the United States troops were
called for by the speaker of the house,
Geo. NJ. Plnney, who was opposed to
Yankton for the capital and SO voted.
The lapse of over twenty years since that
occurrence, has slightly confused Mr.
Burgess recollection of the event. The
troops were ordered there to protect the
speaker. who, it was alleged at the time,
was endeavoring to obstruct legislation
by fraudulent means-the capital loca.
ton particularly.
Vermillion was the only competition
against Yankton for capital konors and
Mr.. Burgess very consistently cham
pioned home interests. The contest wal
an exciting one, but at no tine was there
q probability even of Yankton losing it
but Pinney, for some reason best knowr
to Himself seemed determined to defea
the vote by arbitrary and unjust rulings
and this so eaasperated the members tina
serious trouble was threatened, and t.
protect himself Pinney appealed tt
Governor Jayne. That official Responded
by sending q squad of soldiers to th
hall OF the house to prevent a disturbance
This only made the matter worse, ant
Plnney was compelled to resign tn
epeakershlp summarily. If the Bis
marck Capital is as solicitous about th
truth as it is to misrepresent Yankto
it will republish the foregoing scrap G
history revised and corrected in aecol
dance with the facts.
