The result OF the vote in South Dakota
on the constitution, while giving tech
nical majority Of several thousand for II,
is really defeat by twice as many theus-
and who failed to give their endorsement
by failing to v tc ut all. The constiI
ton will be presented to congress as I e
will and wish of the people of that sr'.
ton, while 1T the same time it will not
have the enlol sement of more than one
tenth of the voters: Congress will not 0e
likely TO accept this as the 's'lence that
gives consent" but rather the reverse.
There are many sufficient reasons for the
apathy manifested by the people on this
subject. They knew there was no legal
res,rit tion as to who might vote or how
many times person might vote upon the
question If adoption. They knew also
that congress would not recognize either
the constitution or the vote, us both were
outside Of any authority given by that
body. The whole scheme was engineered
by q combination of politicians who
wanted office IN the proposed state and
the people were not 50 stupid as to be nm
able 10 see it. 1t was supreme farce
from beginning to end, and it seems that
the larger part of the people regarded II
as such.

pie Of Fargo and being rapidly pushed in
construction, namely, the Fargo South
ern railroad, is one worthy of emulation
by other cities in North Oak e,a, and
which we are pleased to be able to say is
equalled by the people of jamestown IN
the building of the James River Valley
railroad. These are the outlets that will
break the monopoly csmoinatlen which
has for lsng time had its heel upon the
neck Of North Dakota. Anotheryear will
no doubt witness like enterprise from
Bismarck either to the Black Hills or to
some point in South Dakota east of the
Missouri rivc-, sonnectlng with the net
work Of railroads that is being woven in
that section of country. Bismarck can
not afford to remain a one railroad city
over another year, while jamestown and
Fargo are reaping The fruits of south
ern outlet, and she has too much "sand"
TO do it. The cities named are destined to
he the three railroad and commercial
centers of North Dakota, and being a
hundred miles apart the prosperity Of
one will not initiate against that Of the
others. There is no canse for jealousy
nor grounds for contention between
them, and it is only among very narrow
minds aud short-slghicd people that such
a feeling exists. There is now healthy
spirit of emulation between those cities
which should never be allowed to de-
generate into one of strife aud petty
jealousy.

WILL the jamestown alert please come
TO the front with the names OF that rail :
r"ad committee in the late legislature?
Perhaps Alert readers are looking with
interest for little inside history of that
bill, which has been 50 obnoxious to it,
Fargo Republican.
The Alert las not the record at hand
and cannot give the names from memory,
else we would willingly give the liepub-
lican the information it requests. We
are at loss to know why the Republican
is SO ANXIOUS for us to give the names oi
the committee unless 1t is on the point Of
shifting the responsibility for the railroad
law, which 1t has heretofore charged
upon Gov. Ordway, upon the committee.
The form of the intcrrogatory, "lhat
railroad committee" seems to refer to
some particular one, and as there was a
railroad committee for each house we arc
uncertain which of the two it means by
the term, "that railroad committee" Il
our contemporary yields the point in dis
pn,c with the Alert as to the RESPONSE
bilIty Of the governor for the railroad
law and is seeking some other party uptn
whom to place the responsibility, we will
say in advance that the railroad commit
tee was not the law making power either.
Ii the Republican seeks to place the re-
spensblllty of the law upon "lhat rail-
road committee" by its sophistry OF prl-
ori,y reasoning, we insist that 1t 90 still
farther back and put the responsibility
upon the Speaker who appointed the
committee, and from him hack upon The
constituency that elected him a member
of the Legislature. If the Republican
will give us the names of the members of
both houses that voted for the railroad
DILL We will give it the names of the men,
bers who are responsible for the railroad
law. Now put up or shut up.

The Bismarck Tribune thinks that IN
view Of the recent election. and cspeci-
ally the result in New York, President
Arthur is the coming man for the repub-
licau nomination for the same office next
wear. While the result in New York
may be regarded as an endorsement OF
Mr.. Ar,hur's administration the result in
Oh o is equally condemnation. and in
either case we think the meaning has
more of q personal than policy refer
ence. Ii the result IN New York was a
personal compliment to Mr.. Arthur the
result in Ohio was a personal rebuke, in
fact It was openly declared in the latter
state that President Arthur had displaced
all Of &arfeid's appointees from that
state, and for that reashn many republi-
can votes were withheld from the ballot
box orglven to Hoadley in the way Of
resentment While the Alert agrees with
the Tribune that the general policy of
Arthur's administration has been re-
mark ably unobjection~ble, we believe he
would tc personally Objectionable to the
party in Ohio, and We do not believe the
T publicans can carry that state next year
with him at the head Of the ticxet, nor
do we think the republican party can
afford TO sacrifice the electoral vote OF
that state for the doubtful prospect OF
carrying New York on personal grounds.
There has been nothing SO far, and ther,
is no. likely to he anything, in the ad-
ministration of MIR. Arthur that will
make the canvass with him other than a
personal one, aud personal canvass will
revive the bitterness IN the party that so
seriously jeopsr,iizcd success the las,
presidential campaign. The administra-
tien OF President Hayes was good and
honest one but 1t left him politically the
..deadest man that ever lived" The ad-
ministration of Mr.. Arthur has likewise
been good and houest one and he is on
the road to the same haven OF rest asd
retirement. In throwing Mr.. Arthur
aside the party may fsgo farther and fare
WORSE but the American people seem
pesdisposed to take risks Of that kind.
