according to the terms Ut corrupt
agreement, Bismarck has been made the
capital of Dakota. The act as sealed st
Fargo on Saturday, June 2, 1883, and the
parties to the agreement were Hon. Alex.
Mckenzie, as the agent of Bismarck,
party of the first part, and Gov. N. g.
Ordway, Attorney. General Hughes, Hon
Geo. H. Walsh and Hon. Alex. Mckenzie,
parties of the second part, with Henry
H. DeLong, John p. Bedding and Milo
Washington Scott as accessories before
and after the fact.
Bismarck is very pretty little city
about oue-third or one half the size OF
Grand Forks, located on the Northern
Pacific road ana The Missouri river. Its
advantages as o capital are no greater
than those of dozen equally prosper
ons towns in the territory where prop
erty is not half as high. Bismarck will
"boom" for few weeks or months on
the strength of the capital location.
The syndicate of speculators who owned
the capital commission will make some
money, because they bought or secured
options on real estate week before the
location was made, and enough Pudgeons
will be found upon whose hands the syn.
dicate can unload before the investigs.
tion, which is certain to follow, is made
into the despicable, disreputable and
diabolical methods of the whole dishon.
est and corrupt crew who have earned
out the nefarious scheme.
Grand Forks does not envy Bismarck
On the contrary. Bismarck has cause to
envy Grand Forks. We are to have q
sawmill; Bismarck can have the capital.
We are to have an increased population
of honest, Industrious men; Bismarck
can have the biennial gang of public
plunderers that have infested the capital
of Dakota for years.

When the bill for the removal of the

the strongest argument used in it's favor
was the remoteness of Yankton from the
centre Of population ard its inaccessible.
ity to q large portion of the territory,
and that the object in making . change
was to place the capital in the centre of
population and at point conveniently
reached from all parts of the territory.
This spacious pleading-this clap trap
was the bate that caught couple of
| south Dakota gudgeons and accomplish
ed the passage of the bill, placing the re-
location of the capital in the control of
the originators of the scheme. whose
final action shows their regard for the
considerations which were urged in be.
half Of removal. It is scarcely necessary
to say that In the selection Of Bismarck
the commission has paid no attention TO
the conditions which we're the potent ar
guments in favor of removal. Geograph-
ically-regarding mere boundary lines
Bismarck is more centrally located
than Ysnkton; bat when We come to
consider population and accessibility
Yankton's position is immeasurably su-
perior to that of Bismarck. The remov-
81 of the capital by commission was Q
money making job; the selection of Bis
marck is . successful consummation of
the original design.
However, as our readers know from
reading former issues of the Citizen, We
are supremely we'll pleased with the re-
suit. Besides confirming all that has
been said in regard TO the jobbery of the
scheme, it places the capital where it
will not interfere with the division of
the territory on the 46th parallel, and
will greatly strengthen the intentions of
to, solidify southern Dakota and max
her people realize that numerical supe.
riority, without unity of purpose and
generalship, can not cope with united
earnest and we'll deciplined minority
But the most important advantage
which will result from the selection o.
Bismarck will be the extension and per
fection of the railroad system of south
; ern Dakota.

will now be good excuse to discourage
division whenever the subject is brought
up. II the capital had remained in
Yankton, there was possibility OF &C.
complishing the object OF division. which
would greatly benefit both sections of
the territory. The relocation OF the cap.
ital was something that benefits nobody
but the political traders, and those in
terested in the sale OF Bismarck property.
But the end is not yet. There il q bare

GINA In she Vanderbilt Untyer,ity

l
As already briefly announced, Mr.
VIM. H. Vanderbilt recently added
500, 900 to his gifts to Vanderbilt Uni.
versity in Nashville, Tenn, which his
father founded and endowed with 81 900,
900. This last, gift raises the sum of VIM.
H. Vanderbilt's contribution to the in
stitution to about $500, 900. In 1880 he
gave 100000 for the construction of
Theological Hall, which was dedicated
on May 8 of the mex year-the sixtieth
anniversary of Mr.. Vanderbilt's birth
day.
Subsequently DR.. Deems-through
whom Il number of Mr.. Vanderbilt's s
benefactions have been extended-in-
terested himself In the establishment of
a department of mining and civ | ELL
cheering. The trustees of the Univer-
sity asked DR.. Deems to nominate the
professor to fill the new chair. DR..
Deems sent in the name of Orion H.
Landreth, and he was appointed. Mr..
Vanderbilt, learning that the depart
ment was poorly equipped, took upon
himself the cost of the apparatus now in
Science Hall.
Other gifts at various times prior to
the last gift raised the aggregate to
$500, 900. The income of the last gift is
to be applied to the support of techni-
cal school In connection with the de-
partment, which is already so largely
indebted to Mr.. Vanderbilt BY thi.
last gift the endowment is raised to

Prize Fight.

John Callahan and James Mccoy,
local pugillsts. had a harl-glove fight
near Pittsburg, Pa, Tuesday evening.
The fight was for 5000 IA side, and after
seven hard-fought rounds was declared
in favor of Mccoy, who proved himself
the better man before the fourth round
had been concluded. The fight was ac-
cording to the Marquis Of Queensbury $
rules and was very orderly affair.
Both men are rather light, and were
matched to fight about four weeks ago,
but the fight was stopped by the police
before the first round had been concud-
ed. Both men were in good condition
when they stepped into the ring, but
Mccoy soon showed his superiority,
having the best of the fight from the be-
ginning. In the seventh round Callahan
was "knocked out" and failed to res
pond when the eighth round wascalIed.
Although both men fought hard ,nelther
