The condition of affairs in this terri.
tory is a complication that may well be
studied with deliberation and interest
We have = territory with two assumed
capitals, part of the territorial officers
recognizing one as the capital and part
the other. The governor issuing his of.
fetal papers from the capital at Bismarck
and the secretary attaching the territorla
seal at the capital at Yankton. A com.
mission erecting capitol building al
Bismarck and decision by chief justice
Eagerton that the commission had no le.
gal existence. The governor ordering the
removal of all territorial offices to Bis.
marck and the secretary refusing to obey
the order. The supreme court, which is
required to hold its session at the capi-
tai, having held the late session at YanK-
ton not having heard that the seat oi
government had been removed to Bis.
marck. The territorial hoqrd of equal.
cation having held its meeting at Bis
marck believing the capital had been re-
moved 10 that place from Yankton.
This state Of affairs cannot last longer
than another year. The supreme court
will decide the quo warranto case next
May, and from that the case will prob.
ably so to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States, let :he decision be what it may.
Before decision can be reached IN that
court another legislature will take the
matter in hand, which will be fatal to
Bismarck. No one can for moment be.
lieve that the next legislature would
locate the capital at Bismarck or any
other point in North Dakota. The build.
ing erected at Bismarck costs the terri
tory nothing aud dozen towns in South
Dakota would build as good one free
of cost 10 the territory, so that that will
have no influence of itself to hold the
capital.
There Is only one slim chance for Bis.
marck to hold the distinction Of the capi.
tai and that is division Of the territory,
and she is daily reducing that chance by
opposition to division. What aid and
sympathy can she expect from Pembins,
Grand Forks, Fargo or several other
towns or cities in the eastern part OF
North Dakota in legislative contest for
the capital, in the face of her
opposition to their wishes for q
division OF the territory She may
pretend to believe that the division sentl.
ment 1r tue eastern portion of North Da-
kota is too insignificant 10, be worth her
consideration, but she will learn in the
course Of time low ess it is to he mis-
taken and where the strength of North
Dakota lies. 1t will be cold day for
Bismarck as capital when she alien.
ates from her support tho division senti
ment Of North Da kota.

BUT little is known to tho public of the
early history of Patrick ODonnell who
was executed Monday tmornlng IN
London in pursuance of the sentence of
the court for killing James Carey, the in.
former. O'Donnell's prominence dates
from that event which occurred July 29th
last since which time he has been a con-
spicuous subject OF discussion and no.
toriety on both slt.s If the ocean. 1t
has been oscertBlus' !, tho New York
Biographical Magazine, that O'Donnell
was born in 1885 in the town of Mamma
Gladly, III the county of Donegal, in the
north of Ireland, where several Of his
family now reside. When four years OF
age he came with his parents to Amer
ca, but returned shortly after to his IA
tive land, and since his boyhood has fire.
Quently visited this country and accord
Ing TO The London Times served in the
war of the rebellion. 1t is also stated
he took out naturalization papers Nov.
6, 1876. aud that he has lived brief peri
DDS in Toronto, Canada; Philadelphia,
Pa, and Denver, Col. lie is described as
haying been powerfully built man with
grey eyes, dark hair and young looking
for his age.
1t is not probable that this execution
will involve our government in any seri-
Gus complications with Great Britain. So
tar as has yet been developed there does
not seem TO be any grounds for rup-
ture between the two nations over this
affair. 1t must be remembered that the
situation in England is Il critical one, and
there was a time, not twenty years ago,
when President Lincoln was murdered
and the lives of Vice President johnson
and Secretary of State Seward, were at
tempted, in which, if an Engllshman
had been even indirectly involved, our
government would not have allowed Eng
land to interfere with his punishment.
The state department did all 1t could rea-
sonably he expected to do, and the execu-
ton of O'Donnell was neither snu5 to
to that department nor an insult to the
nation.

WITH Ireland IN turbulent state of

ferment and England IN constant dread of
dynamite vengeance one would not be
likely to choose either as place Of quiet
residence. The execution or O'Den.
nell will arouse the tiger in the
Irish heart to such an extent that the
people IN London may we'll be nervous
at the dread of the terrific thunder of
dynamite that msy at any momen Mt hurl
into the air the very foundation stones of
her buildings that have withstood the
storms and fires of centuries. England
IS graphing witha foe which has moth.
ing to lose and everything to gain, the
most dangerous of all foes. Ireland be-.
lieves she has been trampled upon by the
heel of a tyrant, and believing this her
desperation has reached the point where
neither cost nor consequences are con-
sidered. The fact cannot be disguised
that the strength of such foe cannot be
measured by numbers. The man who
fights for his tireslde and the bread for
which his children cry, Is giant and
host. He tears nothing and dares any
thing, and the sooner England recog-
n,zes that fact the better it will be for
her own safety. The execution Of
O'Donnell Is not grounds for an uprising
such as civilization would justify, but it
may be the tlnder box by which the
smoulderiug flame Of revolution will be
lighted and once set ablaze the streams
of the Emerald Isle will run red with
human blood.

The whole number of arrests for drunk.
enness, in Androscoggin country, with ?
population Of 45,044, was only IS, or
less than two per thousand; but II Of
these arrests were in Lewiston and Au-
burn. In the adjoining county Of Frank
lin, with 1880 population. there were
only two arrests for drunkenness.
The whole number Of arrests for drunk
enness in Maine cities, with population
of l44,s63, last year, was 2,46S; but
the whole number Of arrests in the re-
manning 4s6 towns, with population Of
504, 25S, was only 1874. In other words
those persons in the country who would
go to any extent to obtain liquor, and
who generally drink to intoxication,
were obliged to 20 to the cities and
larger villages to obtain their liquor, and
therefore became intoxicated there
whereas, if license had prevailed, they
would have become intoxicated where
they resided This shows that any fair
comparison Of the results Of prohibition
and license must include both country
and city.
Taking Maine as a whole, and the
number of arrests for drunkenness, last
year. was only 1859, or only four ar
rests to every thousand Of the population
Judging by partial statistics received
There is no wholly license State of the
North that shows less than twice this
number of arrests for drunkenness, and
the average is considerably more.
In letter written nearly year ago,
by Hon. J. G. Blaine, that distinguished
statesman and careful observer thus
summed up the good results OF prohibit
ton in Maine:
"In,emperance has steadily decreased
in this State, since the first enactment OF
the prohibiiory law, until now it can &c
said with truth that there is no equal
number Of people in the Anglo-Saxon
world, among whom so small an amount
of intoxicating liquor is consumed as
among the six hundred and fifty thousand
inhabitants Of Maine
In the face Of so good results already,
and much more to come, it behooves the
people Of Maine to proclaim to the world
their adhesion to prohibition BY the vote
which they shall cast on the prohibi,ory
amendment in one year from next Sep

enness in the cities, while license dis
tributes il. This will be seen by de-
tailed examination Of arrests for drunk
enness in Maine.
In Portland, which is the city usually
cited by enemies of prohibition, the Ar
rests for drunkenness, last year, were ".
sal, or apparently, forty per thousand
or the same as in the license city of New
Haven. But gentleman who hes in:
yestigatsd the facts, informs me that the
arrests Of actual residents Of Portland,
did not exceed ten to every thousand Of
of the population. A large propartion Of
arrests were persons residing elsewhere
in the State, who we're unable to get liz
quor in their own communities. Nearly
ell the drunkenness Of not only Cumber-
land county, but also part Of adjoining
counties, making 3 population of nearly
100, 900 appears in the police records of
Portland. There were only six arrests
for drunkenness in Cumberland county,
outside Of Portland. making LAST in the
county, population se,seo) and none In
the adjoining county of Oxford, with
SASS population, half Of which makes
Portland it centre. 1t is probable that
the number of arrests for drunkenness in
the whole territory Of which Portland is
the centre. did not exceed last year ten
to every thousand population, and near
ly all these arrests were made in that
city.
