The first intelligence sent from Yankton
in relation to the capital commission was pur-
posely given a false coloring, and without CIV
ing the matter the least thought large portion
of the press of southern Dakota, adopting the
suggestion of evil, commented accordingly. and
has abused the capital commission and those
friendly to it almost necessarily ever since. AL
most the entire press of southern Dakota out
side of Canton, vermillion, Huron and Abcr-
deem has adopted this course and will continue
to pursue it. no matter what action the COM
mission may take, while in the north nearly
every newspaper, excepting the Herald and

A Description Of the Fine Brick Shops
Which the Railroad Company
Will Build in Dickinson.
Surveyors have been here this week
surveying and stalking off ground for
the immense machine shops and round
house which the railroad company
will build here as soon as the neces-
sary arrangements can be completed.
These shops will be the largest and
most complete this side of Brainard
and will employ a large number of
men both in their construction and
after they are finished-enough in
themselves to make good sized town.
The citizens of Dickinson may con-
gratulate themselves OH being so for
tunate in securing the location of
these shops here. They will be of
brick and great and lasting benefit
to the town. Besides this the divis-
ion will be operated from this point
making it the place where all the
train men will lay over instead of
Glendive and Mandan as heretofore.
The location of the shops here makes
it certain that the Black Hills branch
will leave the main line of the North.
ern Pacific at this point. With these
and the many other advantages that
we have it is evident that Dickinson
will become the metropolis of the
West Missouri country.
TIE ROUND HOUSE,
when completed, will contain forty
four stalls; but for the present it will
only be one-fourth that size, or eleven
stalls, which will be enlarged as the
necessities of the company demand it.
THE ENGINE ROOM
will be 20x44 feet and will he fitted up
with a large engine and boilers which
will furnish power and steam for the
shops. In

THE LAND FOR SOLDIERS.
Bishop Samuel Fellows, D. d., in the
Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph.


Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph.
I have just returned from visit to
the home of my youth in Wisconsin
where 1 have been counseling with
friends and relatives as to the expeli-
ency of their going to Dakota to take
up homestead claims.
have made dilligent enquiries in
many directions from those most com.
petent to Judge by actual experience
what the advantages and disadvanta-
ges of such movement would be.
These enquiries were also made for
the benefit of many soldiers who are
anxious to take advantage of the last
opportunity they will have to secure
for themselves and families portion
of the public domain within a reason.
able distance from the two great cities
OF the lake. Without attempting to
give in detail what l heard for and
against Dakota, can say the argu.
ments were ten to one in favor of
that Territory. Whatever cold
weather, blizzard or alkaline streaks
may be peculiar to that region, these
cannot weigh for moment against
the amazing fertility and superlative-
ly invigorating climate. The stories
told of the productiveness of the soil
would seem almost fabulous were they
not authenticated beyond the shadow
of a doubt.
The rapidity with which it's towns
grow up is something marvellous. A
little over two years ago l went on
the Northern Pacific railway west of
Fargo. The point at which left the
railroad was siding. There was no
depot. Two houses constituted the
place. Now there are, am told, $50
houses, two banks, three dry goods
stores, two churches and another rail-
road. The rush to Dakota reminds
one of the rush to California when l
first came as lad to Wisconsin. A
gentleman connected with one of the
great railroads running into the Ter
ritOry told me that ut nearly every sta
tion the demand was not for five or
six, but for twenty, forty and even
sixty cars to transport the movables
of emigrants to this inviting country.
l think the Chicago Tribune was not
in error in calling Dakota the future
Empire state of the imperial North
west.
Now is the time for the brave boys
in blue to secure their homesteads.
Such all opportunity will never occur
again. Every soldier, in my judgment
should have had 100 acres given him.
The next best thing is to take the land
Oh the easy conditions prescribed by
law. Ben. Wade said, in the United
States senate, in view of the rapid alb
sorption of our national inheritance
"When the year 1900 comes IN, every
acre of arabic land in the United
States will be worth at least $50" At
the end of seventeen years, if not be-
fore, the prediction will assuredly be
verified. There is no one more de-
serving than the soldier of the inev.
liable advantage to be secured from
' the coming rise in the value of the
al farming lands of Dakota.

BY Balloon.


What has become of the air problems
which were to have been solved not long ago
by balloon voyaging and have not been ? The
principle that everything is possible of which
the mind can conceive formula, is not, we
trust, to be conjured into fallacy through the
mere absence Of experiment. None, deserv-
ing mention, has been made in the project Of
ballooning. Our latest memory Of its pro-
gress is of a discovery Of aerial strata, under
the perishOble point of altitude, throughout
which the air moves in particular direction !;
thus change Of direction would but require
a change of altitude. 1t was by virtue of such
alleged discovery that we were enchanted
into expectation. Nothing could have been
of more blooming promise than this theory
when last heard Of What has our esteemed
contemporary, the New York Graphic, done

We DO not favor the transformation Of
Territorial into State governments faster than
actual conditions justify. The Union is grow
ing fast enough, and the addition of an I'M
wieldy Senate to an unweldy House will not
favor legislation. At the last session Dakota,
with $4,000 inhabitants, was clamorous for
admission to the dignity and consequence of a
State Of this Union. But it did not appear
that the more grave and sober citizens of the
Territory wanted State government with its
army of dependents to be pensioned on its
treasury. Then another obnoxious feature
was the burlesque Of pair Of Federal Sena-
tors with following represented in the lower
House by a single member. We therefore
entertained the hope in the last session that
the question would be deferred. And it has
been with much advantage to Dakota. She
will appear at the doors Of the coming Con-
gress with her credentials prepared by Terri
torial convention, a title that will admit of no
dispute, nor be disputed, and welcomed with
open arms to the glorious sisterhood, of which
she is to become one Of the wealthiest and
proudest members, and in her political, social
and industrial influence the common pride and
boast Of all.

THERE can be no more ellectual and appro-

rapidly accumulating in the national treasury
than to apply them to the cancellation OF
greenbacks Whatever portion Of the surplus
circulation can be thus put out Of the way is'a
perfectly legitimate and most advantageous
adjustment Of the repletion. II is estimated
that there are now about 800, 600 Of in
terest bearing bonds which are subject to call,
and all that are subject to call, during the
next eight years. The redemption of these
bonds should be spread over the whole time,
assigned to each year its due portion. And
with the rest Of the treasury surplus the Secre-
tary should cancel paper money. by this
course Congress will be relieved Of its ten
deney to extravaganza, and the treasury Of its
useless excess.
