Governor Ordway, 10 his address, says
the appointment OF his son as territorial
auditor was the only personal appoint
ment he has made during his term OF
Office. This particular portion of his ad-
dress can be proven a falsehood
He appointed his son one of the COM
missioners of Hughes county.
He appointed his private secretary one
of the commissioners OF Hand county.
He appointed George p. Harvey, a
family relative, first to the office of com.
missioner Of Walsh county, and second
one of the directors of the Sioux Falls
penitentiary.
In his last appointments of commits
sioners of Douglas county he arranged
matters SO that family relative named
Bean was made by those commission oners
one of the officers of that county.
He sent his ex-private secretary and
his hired man up into Faulk county to
acquire residence with probable view
Of making them commissioners when he

II he could succeed in persuading
more of his relatives to come out from
New Hampshire he would perhaps fix
them all. 1t lis only q scarcity of mate.

Offices with his own kind.

The Scotland Citizen, democratic
newspaper edited by the acknowledged
head of the democratic party of Dakota,
comes out strongly in favor Of the Huron
convention. The Citizen says:
1t is stated in the call that the members of
the committee are in receipt of communica-
tions from all parts of the territory urging the
action taken by them, and that they in COM
cannot too soon take the direction of their af-
fairs into their own hands. To this sentiment
we say. Amen! While, as an abstract question,
we are not disposed to consider favornbly the
proposition to divide this territory, we will
cordially cooperate in any movement which
will place its government in the hands of the
people and establish home rule in the place of
the miserable carpet bag system which has al
ready.too long disgraced and degraded us.

men who will discharge their duties with wis.
trucking to federal otficialism or federation

of the convention be q resolution asking the
removal of the present incumbent of the execu.
tive Office, as q stencil in the nostrils of de.
cency, and an insurmountable barrier 10 self

States shall turn deaf ear to the appeal of thu
people thus made. the democratic house o
may open up the unsavory Washington record
OF that incumbent, which, together with hi
ways that are dark and tricks that are vain
practiced out here, when brought to light, will
raise such storm of indignation as to driv,
him beyond our borders.

OF the people was through the speedy re.

be accomplished BY the united action OF

Yesterday Geo. q. Walsh, F. I. Walker

former ostensibly to attend meeting of
the Odessa syndicate in st. Paul, and
the latter to act on the capital removal

is to organize an assault on the commits

likely that at least one of the syndicate
will be on the ground when the capital

The damage which Dakota suffers and
is to suffer from the corruption Of her
governor and the last legislature Is not
to be measured by the dollars Of which
she may be defrauded, nor altogether by
the danger of political power passing
from the hands of the people into the
hands of Ordway and his gang, but by
the disgrace which is brought upon the
good name Of the territory and the peo-
pie thereof. There is widespread
feeling that if such things as have been
perpetrated shall pass unrebuked. then
this ie commonwealth in which people
of average decency have but little induce.
ment to make their homes. The chief
duty, therefore, which is now before the
citizens of Dakota ls to purge themselves
of any reputation of tolerating the action
OF their chief executive and his pals
The convention called to meet hers
next Thursday will afford an opportuni.
ty to commence this work, and it will
likely be followed by other gatherings
in different towns throughout southern
Dakota. By such means the great pub.
lie can be led to know that the people OF
Dakota have no sympathy with such
transactions. and that they didn't leave
their notions of honesty behind them
when they migrated here.

How CKLLULoIp Is MADE. The Journal
Of the British Dental Association quotes
from La Progres Dentdire description of
the process carried out at factory near
Paris for the manufacture of celluloid A
roll of paper is slowly unwound, and is at
the same time saturated with mixture of
FIVE parts of sulphuric acid and two of
nitric, which falls upon the paper in fine
spray. This changes the cellulose OF the
paper into fine pyroxyline (gun cottoul.
The excess of acid having been expelled by
pressure the paper is washed with plenty
of water until all traces of acid have been
removed /; it is then reduced to pulp and
passes on to the bleaching trough. Most
of the water having got rid of by means Of a
strainer, the pulp is mixed with from 20 to
40 per cent. of its weight of camphor, and
the mixture thoroughly triturated under
mill-stoaes. The necessary coloring mat.
ter having been added in the form Of pow
der, second mixing and grinding follows.
The finely divided pulp is then spread out
in thin layers On slabs, and from twenty
TO twenty-five OF the layers are placed In
hydraulic press, separated from one an
other by sheets Of thick blotting paper,
and are subjected TO pressure of $50 at
mospheres until all traces OF moisture have
been got rid Of. The plates thus obtained
are broken up aad soaked for twenty-four
hours in alcohol. The matter is then
passed between rollers heated to between
40 and l50 deg. Fab, whence it issues in
the form OF elastic sheets. Celluloid is
made to initiate amber, tortoise-shell,
coral, malachite, ebony, ivory, etc, and
besides its employment in dentristY Is used
TO make mouth pieces for pipes and cigar
holders, handles for table knives and uEn-
brelias, combs, zhirt-frontg and collars, and
