In the Fargo Argus lithographing de-
partment the plat of the future capital
is being made for the northern syndicate.
Regarding this artistic piece of work the
Argus says:
The air OF unbiased indecision and
wise, judicial balancing of interests. SO
conspicuously worn by the commission,
is impressive to those who have not
caught glimpses behind thecurtain. The
artless and unsuspicious only see the sit
uation as it is presented to the public
eye. The deliberations will probably be
protracted and simulate genuine sift.
ing of claims aud inducements. Yet the
eye of the seer, whose VACCINATIONS rest
upon the secure basis of latent informa-
ton. can without fatigue drop upon an
incohate city of the future, nesting un-
der the bold banks of picturesque waters
gliding gently and placidly in their wind.
ing courses among the untold expanse Of
lands that, in the way of town and city
lots, are to roll their dacats into obese
and fortunate pockets. Were it permis-
sible to relate-but, no, the lithograph
and engraving department of the Argus
Is able to relax the intensity Of Its pro-
tracted etfort-but the seal of retlcence
cannot vet be broken. Were it not pre-.
mature, GLADLY and with something Of
landable pride, would it point to one Of
the happiest achievements Of art and
skill, and recite metes and bounds, point
to the broad avenues. smooth and firm
streets. lined with elegant residences and
substantial business houses, and in the
near distance the commanding plateau
from which governors and legislators are
to view the landscape over" for miles
of as beautiful and fertile country as
l-th Dakota affords-all on paper as
yet. The commission has till July to
study the glowing picture, and much
nocturnal oil can be profitably consumed
in its perusal before the Independence
eagle screams. Even the name, if now
revealed, would add little to the geo

As most Of our readers are already

took to mount Pegasus at the season of
the legislature Just closed. Whether
there can be any such officers in the terri
tory. with the duty assigned. as provided
in the bill passed creating the Office of
attorney general is strongly disputed.
Another question raised is whether the
legislature can delegate its authority to
q committee of private citizens who have
no responsibility to the people?
Be the answe. to these questions what
they may the fact remains tbat the legis-
lature did appoint committee OF nine

The only restrictions placed upon the
committee are that the location must be

When the announcement OF the loca-

Ii the capital commission had studied
land it doubtless has kept it's intellect
pretty busy during the past week)
to commit larger blunder than the
one perpetrated this morning they could
not have made greater success of it.
The claim hos been made that the COM
mission was composed OF honorable gen.
tlemen and that it had perfectly legiti.
mate and lawful duty to perform. The
public has not heretofore had any reason
70 assert that the gentlemen composing
the commission we're anything but hon
orable; but now that it has lodged
through Yankton on flying train and
organized for work on the run, the
motives of the crowd will be brought
into serious question. 1t appears that
they were afraid to face the anticipated
investigation Of the courts and like
fugitives from justice the honorable"
nine fulfilled the spirit of the alleged
law which named them by ludicrous at
tempt to evade process. They feared
an Injunction. If their work is proper
and legal why should they try to avoid
even this resort? There has been no in
tsntlon, however, to enioin their work,
at least so for as Yankton is concerned,
and this fact renders their early morning
run through our city all the more alb
surd. We can give it out now that all
have been made to place
the matter squarely before the courts
through an action in the nature
of quo wdrranto, which ls
o writ brought before a proper
tribunal to enquire by what warrant a
person or an organization of persons
exercise certain powers. This action. in
the present instance, IS brought by tho
territory Of Dakota, on the information
OF the district attorney and on the rela.
tion of the city of Yankton. 1t is brought
against the members of the commission
to declare the law creating that organiza.
ton unconstitutional and their acts
illegal and void. The attorneys employed
to conduct the proceedings have been
waiting for the members oi
the commission to file theil
official bonds with the territorial treasur
er. This has finally been done and thi
morning the necessary papers in the cas-,
we're left at the residence of Alex
Hughes, of this city. a member of til.
commission. This completes the service
and the constitutionality of the capita
commission act is now properly befor'
the courts. The injunction feared b.
the conspirators has never entered int
the calculations of the legal gentlemen
who are conducting the case, a
such proceeding would have antagon
lied the course adopted and endangered
its success. The members of the com
mission might have come to Yanktol
and transacted their business like men
instead Of indulging in an undignifie'
piece of business which will render ther
odious from one end of the territory t.
the other. Even if they had been fate
to face injunction proceedings, it voul
have been more respectable and mani
for them to have accepted the situatio
and met it in on honorable way. If the
cause is just one they would have owe
como the trihing obstacle of an injun
ton in legal way and the people wou
have respected them.

A large number Of papers condemn
the bill as huge job put up to fatten
the pockets of few real estate men,
while others consider it for the good of
the territory. It appears to the Times
that the bill upon its surface smells of
jobbery, but when it views some of the
men who are upon the commission it
does not seem as if they we're men who
would sell their birth right for q mess of
potage; the majority of them are young
men who have high sense of honor,
many of whom expect something at the
hards of the people. These men cannot
afford to enter into job. The Times
considers, however. that the time had
not'yet come for the removal of the
capital and that the people in general do
not demand or care to have it removed
and that the Legislators we're not better.

Stores OF vegetables or of fruit have
a direct effect upon the air of the cell
lar, and consequently upon that of the

should not be tolerated in any con-
siderable quantities. The method of

discomfort, if not of disease. Large
| masses of our products, whether those
we term vegetables, such as roots, cab
bages, etc, or those commonly called
fruits, as apples, pears, ETC., are not
dead, inert matter, but are constantly
acting upon the air which surrounds
them. As a rule, they take up oxygen
from the air, and give off carbonic acid
gas, poison to animal life. No very
large mass of vegetables or fruits should
be stored in the cellar of the dwelling
house for the winter. So far as roots
are concerned, as well as cabbaoes and
celery, they are much better stored out

Exploding the Bl0at.

Bloaiing from over-feeding on clover
is not uncommon among cattle in au-
tumn. No experienced farmer would
think of turning his stock into stout
piece of clover when the dew is on or
when it is wet with rain; but bloat may
come from some disorder of the digest
i've apparatus; or il the heritage be too
rank, so that it cannot be properly dis.
posed of, it will ferment- in the paunch,
producing gas, which, by its pressure,
closes all way of escape, and, unless re-
lief can be given. the animal viii die.
Every farmer should know how to tap
the paunch, to let the gas escape. If
no other means are at hand, insert a
sharp pen-knife about halfway between
the last Eib and the hip, and eight
inches below the level line of the back,
the point tending somewhat down
wards. This opening will allow the
gas to pass oil, and tile wound will soon
heal. A better instrument, and one
that every stockman should have, is the
trochar, made for this purpose. This
consists OF sharp-pointed steel pin,
about six inches long, having a tube
(canula) which covers all bat the point.
When the pin is inserted, the tube fol-
lows it and remains, forming means
of exit for the gas in the paunch. Food
should be light for a few days after such
| an operation. -Americd1 -dgrfculurul-

All Europe for the past week has
been in q cold SILVER over certain utter
ances of semi-ollicial paper, the
North German Gazette, which declares
that France alone threatens the peace
of Europe. The ordinary American
reader, accustomed to have every news
paper express its opinion freely on
every subject, which opinion it must be
admitted hardly retains the attention
longer than the time taken in going in
one ear and coming out the other, can
hardly realize the excitement which
phrase or sentence in one OF the press
mouth pieces will create on the continent
The secret of this lies. however, in the
fact that back of these official organs is
supposed to be the government, or its
representative the prime minister aud
these 'inspired" editorials are presumed
to express the views of authority which
takes this more general and less direct
way of intimating future complications
that may arise in case y certain policy
is continued. 1t is an easy and affective
way of feeling public opinion, with the
advantage that whenever il is seen that
the breeze raised is likely TO prove too
serious for control, the whole matter can
be denied authoratively and the matter
will end in the wigging given the poor
editor for presumiug TO state what he
was told. The recent utterances of the
Gazette. taken in connection with the
tumble in stocks which ensued. have a
suspicious look. Unless appearances
are very deceptive it IS more than pro-
bable that Bismarck was ON the short
side of the market, and, taking lessons
from the operations of his French and
Spanish brethren, put up this job on the
boys. Now that lie has covered his
losses and added snug sum to the
credit side, it will not be surprising if
a denial of any warlike intentions APP
pears.
