Bismarck,s capitol hnilair

Bismarck's capitol building, over
which SO much noise has been made, is
mere of newspaper structure than re-.
atty. Parties direct from the scene of
operations state that the corner stone is
about all there is of the building and
that since the conclusion of the vain.
glorious ceremonies attendant upon
giving it resting place no work has
been done upon the alleged edifce. It
Is said that three hundred dollars would
pay the construction expenses thus far
incurred. Yet the newspapers OF Bis.
marck assert that five hundred men are
employed night and day on the super.
structure of the building, that an electric
light is to be furnished to aid the night
gang in their labon, and much other
similar nonsense. There is, according to
the account of our informant, Just
enough of the foundation laid to hold

The detailed account of the Fargo
meeting in opposition to division and
statehood is conclusive evidence tha,
the meeting was a small and unimpor.
tant affair. and indeed without any re-
suit. Less than fifty delegates were in
attendance out of an authorized mem
bership of 1O9. The brief proceedings
were cut and dried by the ring and two
hours time sufficed to close up the busi

The question now arises how are the
people OF Bismarck to get back the $780,.
600 they placed in the hands of Alex.
Hughes? No bonds were issued for it's
protection and safety, it was given into
the possession of an irresponsible party
and there is no provision of law reauir-
ing its surrender to its owners.

Not Only Fair hut Liberal.

The democratic apportionment com
mittee of the house, it is now apparent,
made great mistake. They should
have met the enemy on his own ground.
They should not have submitted so fair
bill as the one sent to the senate.
They should rather have sent one de.
manding for our party, not thirteen
congressman out OF the twenty eight
but fifteen. The republicans, had the
positions been reversed, would have
done so. The democrats were, however,
not fair alone, but liberal to fault, and
as a consequence the Stewart bill that
must otherwise have been looked upon
as a clear swindle, as it is, gets from
non. partisans Of the Mcclure order the
title of fairness. Its framer has not
forgotten, by the way, the tactics OF the
party with which he trained so long a.
il evident from the fact that in his bill
his own district-FrankIin Perry and
Dauphin-is what might be called red

The correspondence between ex.Con.
gressman Dezendorf, of Virginia, and
Secretary Chandler, Of the navy depart
ment, recalls to mind the electoral
fraud OF 1876. 1t was William +. Chand.
Ter who planned the conspiracy which
resulted in the fraudulent counting in
of Hayes, the defeated candidate for
president 1t was he who managed the
villainy Of the Florida returning board
and arranged with the scoundrels who
perpetrated it for their reward in ap
pontments to federal offices by the
fraudulent president. 50 offensive to
common decency were his methods IN
that atrocious political crime aud so gen.
orally disreputable was his character a.
politician that when eE.President
Garfield appointed him solicitor Of the
department OF justice the United States
senate rejected the appointment with
the votes Of the most prominent repub-
lican senators recorded in the negative
And this is the man who has become
the head Of a great department and
who sits at the council board Of a presi
dent who pretends to execute the las
for q reform of the civil service.
Small wonder is it that the republican
ex.coogressmsn from Virginia should
find occasion to complain OF the abuse
Of the federal power in an interference
in local elections by the navy depart
ment and still less surprising that his
complaint to the interruptions secretary
met with contempt and derision. What
else could have been expected OF vii
