Grand Forks News.

Wisconsin had her "forty thieves" It
remains to be eeen if Dakota's capital
removal syndicate will pass into history
as the "nine knaves." If they don't it
will not be because the bill under which
they hold Office is lacking in opportuni.
ties for the perpetration of the rankest
kind of scoundrelism. They are rot on
" given the power to locate the capital,
but also to direct the construction Of the
necessary territorial buildings, and upon
their order the territorial treasurer is
required to issue warrants for the pay
ment of all expenses. No limit is placed
upon the amount to be expended for
"the necessary buildings" and the tax
payers of the territory are not to know
what their capital is to cost. Perhaps it
is sufficient that they are to have new
capital, and quarter of million dollars
or so either way won't make any materi-
al difference SO long as they get it. The
syndicate is also empowered to place q
a minimum price upon the l6O acre tract
not required for public purposes and sell
the same at public or private sale and
receipt for the money, which is to be
turned into the territorial treasury. OF
course the syndicate may establish a
maximum price for lots, but there is
nothing in the commission bill concern
ing maximums, nor is there anything to
prevent another syndicate buying all the
lots at minimum price and paying the re-
| moval syndicate maximum bonus for
the privilege. The law will be satisfied if
lonly minimum price is accounted for.
The removal syndicate is certainly one
Of great possibilities.

The evidences still accumulates that
the outside public hes sized up the de-
signs Of the capital syndicate and that
there is general opposition to the
scheme. The newspapers Of the terri
tory almost universally denounoe the
proos edings which have given over to q
speculative ring the disposal of Dakota's
seat of government. Should the matter
be taken into the courts to contest tue
validity Of the unconstitutional enact.
ment Yankton must bear The burden OF
the battle. It must stand between the
people and THE spectators who hope to
fill their own pockets and deprive the
territorial treasury Of its just revenues.

kota must pay the expenses Of the men

sued, can be rendered of small value
and the price Of the lots and blocks Of
their proposed capital grounds kept
down to q small figure. When the
scheme is hesded of and the speculation
rendered dead failure, we can all unite
upon some capital proposition out Of
which the coming state will derive bene-
at in more ways than one. Yankton
stands ready to pledge itself to advocate
afair and honorable proposition to re-
move the capital from it's present loca-
tion and place it where it will be most
satisfactory to the people of Dakota.
The fight it is now making is against q
corrupt combination and not against re.

The bill creating commission.
capital site forSDakota. passed the terri.
torial legislature yesterday, and has
probably beeu signed by Gov. Ordway.
SO it is law, SO far as such measure
can be made law, but it is a fair ques-
ton if Dakota has any capital now, or
will have one for two years to come. If
the capital is removable under this law,
it is already removed; and if not, then
it will remain where it is, until further
legislative action. This view of the case
is based upon both the letter and the
spirit of the organic act, which provides
(sec. 1850 that the first legislature Of q
territory shall meet at such time and
place rs the governor shall appoint and
direct; that aG such first legislative ses-
sion the governor aud legislature shall
proceed to establish the seat of govern
ment. sat such place as they may think
proper
"But such place shall thereafter be
subject to be changed by the governor
and legislative assembly,
So the bill passed at Yankton. in its
scope, tenor and effect, is clearly outside
of the organic law-and is therefore no
law, in any true. legal sense. Itdeclares
the seat of government removed from
Yankton, as in the act provided: and
then proceeds to name nine persons whom
it assumes to clothe with the power Of
hereafter locating it. By the organic act,
it will be seen. that the power Of fixing
the "Place" is given to the governor and
legislative assembly" only, and to no one
else. The fixing of the 'place" is legis.

Iroquois Herald.
Itis q greatpity that more bribers of
representatives are not brought to trial.
- was J. ID. Watson the lobbyist, Who
was charged with bribing Rep Black Of
Cleveland, last winter. The Jury in his
case returned verdict of guilty, March
3D., but his sentence has been reserved.
The penalty is from three to ten years in
the penitentIary. There is no doubt but
that bribing has been done to a great ex.
tent in the removal OF the Dakota capital,
and It would have been God blessing
had the law been allowed to take its
course and given those who practiced
this rascality their just deserts. We ask
the;citizens Of Dakota, will you allow the
menopOlist, the speculator or few out
siders OF your rich domain to be the pro-
pelling power Of its government, or will
you have your representatives do it,?
This capital movement question is fair
sample Of the strength Of the monopolist
in Dakota at present. They should be
givon cold reception and actions similar
in character to the capital movement
question, should not be tolerated but we
should severely protest against such
actions, that are q great injury to any

Madison Sentinel.
The proposed removal of the capital
from Yankton, is meeting with much op.
position from the press Of the territory.
The bill as it has passed the house pro.
vldes for the appointment of q set of
commissioners, who are to obtain bonus
of 100000 in money and twenty acres of
land. The latter to be used as site for
the state buildings.
The scheme looks like nothing 80
mach as plan where a coterie of
monied men are to be made enormously
rich at the expense of the public. The
idea of removing the capital at the pres
ent time is ridiculous on its face, and
can in no way operate to benefit any por-
ton OF the territory, while it might COM
plicate the question of relocation in the
future. and no one can imagine that 10.
Gated in the manner proposed by the
as a apermanent capital after q complete
organization is effected as state.
If q new town is to be built up as the
capital-andIthat is what will be done
If this bill passes-Dakota, and not pri
vate individuals ought to own th.
ground that city is built upon, and have
the proceeds of the sales of lands to con
struct and maintain her public buildings
The 100000 and 20 acre site is n,
equivalent for what the territory nigh
just as well own as ring of spectators
and the haste which some of our legis
lators have exhibited in crowding th,
present bill through the house il
certainly not an evidence to us or the
pnblic of their honesty and fidelity to
the public welfare. The money being
brought to bear to procure the passage
of the bill through the council may bt
potent enough to carry it through, but
We hope not. Should the bill prevail y,
