There is one objection that eastern girls
have to pre-empting lands in Dakota.
They must be twenty-one years old before
they can file their application. Now in
in the east it is long time between sweet

the young ladies' But here in Dakota
when girl is twenty-one she holds ND
her head, skips over to the land Office,
proudly tells her age, files her application
and proceeds to hold down her claim.
After that, however it is long time until
she is more than twenty-one Here j!

The statement that men representing
millions Of capital have been waiting the
decision of the commissioners to place it
in the capital city must be received with
an allowance. There are no more fore
looking and shrewd men than capitalists,
and there are none who understand better
than they do that a seat of government
does net-1rtke ;scity, nor the loss-of il de-
stroy one. Washington, Lansing in Mich
igan, Springfield in Illinois, Madison in
Wisconsin, are examples of towns that
have been made by fixing in those places
seats of government. Each ofthem is a
rendezvous Of professional politicians and
characters who depend on government for
support, not one of them is Or ever will
be city in the sense OF scat of COM
merce and industry on which government
depends for support, The conditions Of
city making have no relation whatever to
public politics Or politicians, and aside
from necessary public buildings, and
boarding houses for Office holders, the es-
tablShment Of seat of government in
any town will not create demand for the
placing Of one stone upon another. The
notion that the location Oft the Dakota cap
ital will be the making of city is gross
delusion, and of the kind Of delusions
that sagacious capitalists are not prone to
.'takc stock in.

Delegate Raymond says there will be no
trouble in securing signatures of the adult
males of the Sioux Indians to the treaty
negotiated by the Sioux commission last
year. These signatures are now being
obtained very rapidly, and it is thought
the last one will be secured before con-
gress meets. AS it was held by the SEN
ate committee that all the signatures were
nescssary instead of three fourths of the
head chiefs: there will be no difficulty in
securing the ratification of the treaty.
MIR. Raymond says when the treaty is con-
Summated it will open up to settlement
some of the finest agricultural and timber
lands in the country He suggests that
the lands thus opened will probably sub
lect to pre-emptlon entries only. In that
event the government will be reimbursed
for the amount paid the Indians for ces-
sion of a part Of their reservation.

Some Of our local physicians are in.
clined to, or quite positive in the belief
that we will have cholera in this country
this year-perhaps in this city.
This Judgment is based on the posi-
b~ilities, and the possibilities are esti-
mated from past history Of the scourge.
But the probabilities of the cholera get
ting a foothoId in America are less at
the present time than at any period in
the past.
The general government is more
ready now than it has been in the past
to protect the public health and its re-
sources are greater. There are already
on foot the most energetic measures to
thwart any importation Of the plague.
Unless it comes in the breeze it will
scarcely effect an entrance on ship
board.
Yet it may come without importa-
ton. Ii is not safe to say that we can
prevent cholera in America by prevent
ing its Importation. 1t is not rig It GER
tain that the seeds of the plague are not
here and susceptible of development
under favorable conditions.
The conditions, whether of the eli
M te or the sanitary surroundings OF

Egypt why not now in America? The
Herald says: "If the English had at
once assumed the direction of affairs
the disease might have been strangled
at its birth. Diplomacy, however
raised objections. The Khedive was
not a conquered prince; he had a right
