ing division prospects is to the effect
that Delegate Pettigrew is trying to
have the division bill taken up in the
senate. He has been assured by Senator
Saunders. chairman of the committee on
territories. of his belief that he can put
his bill through his committee, and
cause it to be taken up in the senate af-
ter the tariff bill is out of the way. He
also thinks there will be no trouble in
passing it through the senate. In the
house it will go to the speakers table,
and will be reached there in its order
From the vote in the house-l5l to ITO
it is clear that it can be passed If it is
ever reached without suspension Of the
rules. Mr.. Pettigrew says he has beer
assured by number OF democrats that
if the republicans had pledged them
selves publicly on the floor of the house
that no attempt would be made in the
senate to tack on an amendment TO the
division bill admitting southern Dakota
they would have voted to suspend the
rules and pass the bill. The same mem.
bers say if bill is passed by the senate
and comesto the house they will vote
for it, provided they are assured that il
will not be amended SO as to provide fol

Far Down on the Broad Road !.

Verify, may it be said, that "half the
world knows not how the other half
lives" A legal gentleman of James,
town upon lleaving his Office on Satur-
day evening trod upon q tramp who had
retired for the night in dark corner of
his stairway, who, upon being discovered,
apologized in the choicest Of language
for the intrusion and inquiring with
the greatest solicitude whether be had
frightened the legal gentleman. Ad-
mitting the "rarity of Christian charity
under the sum-" our legal friend was not
equal to the occasion of ushering the
tramp into the chilling blast of the
street, but kindly invited him to pass
the remainder Of the night in his warm
office, only admonishing him to keep his
hands off the papers. The wanderer
shivered out his thanks and his bene.
factor retired to his cheerful fireside
where he drew tears from the eyes of a
happy family as he related the unhappy
condition of one of Gods creatures.
On Monday morning the fellow reap
pearel at the Office to reiterate his
thanks, giving brief resume of his life,
whereby it appeared that lie had been
framed, for far better things, and fitted
for better fate. A graduate of Yale
in the class of 1879, and coming into 0
competency by the death of his fathe,
he had drifted to the San Juan region o1
Colorado. Losing his money in the
mines and attempting to forget his
misery in the delirium OF drink he had
fallen until all was lost, even honor. Re
closed his recital by informing the
gentleman that he had faithfully re

eyes that lie had robbed its supply O
postage stamps, which had gone to ap
pease the gnawing Of the demon within
him. Requesting to be arrested ant
placed beyond the reach of temptation
but meeting with arefusal, he wen
out to continue his weary tramp, friend
less and alone. No moral need be drawn

honor. For Huron to go into the fight
now for the capital. having obtained her
delegate upon his sacred pledge and
ytheif own thst they, as we'll as he, would
oppose this measure and stand by Yank-
on,would be tcn.iold moro disgraccful
than was the conduct of Mitchell in
openly boiling the nomination. of s,ter-
ling last fall.
For Huron to ask Geo. w. Sterling to
do this thing is to ask him to tell lie,
and tnrn traitor, to the balance of the
district. Sterling will not do it, mark
our word. His honor is at stake, and he
must either stay by it and redeem it, or
stain it and lose it. Itls not question
Of whether he must or will stay by his
own town or not, but question of
whether he has any manhood or not.
We serve notice now upon any town
ring or combination that moves the CAPT.
tal this winter, upon the basis of money,
as is proposed, that the people Of this
territory, we believe, will rise up in
righteous indignation and wrest from
them, at the first opportunity, their Ill
gotten gains.
There were men in Mitchell, and Mr..
Faust knows who they were, that asked
and insisted on modification of the re-
solution and the pledge that was framed
and insisted upon and finally adopted at
that convention, and that modification
asked was simply that, in case the fight
came up. the members should be at lib
erty to go for some town III the district.
The reply to this was, that it would be
easy enough to start the fight, and that
would be only an excuse, and the propo-
sition was spurned by the Huron people,
by G. w. Sterling, and by the convention.
Nay. more, Mr.. s., in that convention, to
the writer, not only spurned the PROPOSE
ton, but pledged himself that he would
vote and work for Yankton against all
the towns in the district. That was the
sentiment Of the convention that nomi-
mated him. that was understood to be his
position at the election, or he never could
have been elected. We defended him at
that election, and shall stand by and
defend him now until the last. But woe
be to Geo. w. Sterling if he violates that
pledge and deceives the voters Of this
district. All honor to him if he main
tains it inviolate.
The people of Dakota will never allow
any town to hold the seat of government
obtained in this way. We had faith in
the voters last fall. and we yet have faith
in large majority of the representatives
OF our people in the legislature includ-
ing Hon. Geo. W. Sterling.

A Washington telegram states that the
changes made in the tariff bills as they
progress in congress have alarmed those
whose business is specially affected by
the action taken. and representatives of
the various industries of the country are
hocking to the capital in great numbers
for the purpose of securing, If possible.
Legislation favorable to each interest
Threatened. Lobbying is most active,
and the life of members is made bur
den by continual requests, arguments
and opportunities in behalf Of this OF
that branch OF trade. What the out.
come will be it Is difficult to surmise, but
persons in position to know tho under.
current OF feeling among representatives
believe the chances about even for the
passage of some kind of tariff bill this
session. 1t may be that the whole ques-
tion will yet be settled by conference
committee.

Tho Capital Question and Dakota Politics.
Chamberlain Register.
Some weeks ago, and before any bill
was in troduced or known to be contem.
plated on the capital question, there ap.
peared in the Register an article on Da-
kota politics, urging the Legislature to
proceed with care, and not allow legisla-
tion that could be criticised.
All sorts of rumors are in tho air of
what this legislature will do; that it is
the last chance the members ilom north
Dakota will have, and they are going to
improve the opportunity to bleed the
railroad companies, mining companies,
and competing towns, etc. The Huron
board Of trade boldly announces that
they have $4,000 to spend, aud can
raise $4,000. The Yankton Press and
Dakotaian very properly asks. what are
they going to do with their money?
The Pierre people, through their board
of trade. want to be counted in the fight
S5O,OCO strong. Where arc they going to
get their money 2and what are they going
to do with it? Are members for sale at Il
fixed price? Is there q ring formed, q
pool made, and does it take SO much to
see the hand or come into the game?
We have no personal acquaintance
with Hon. George W. Walsh. His repu-
tation at home may be good. His cou-
duct is giving strength to tho statement
that o corrupt bargain has been made to
sell OUT to the highest bidder.
Tho delegation from Huron, last sum
mer, in the Mitchell convention. pledged
themselves, individually and collectively
| that they would oppose tho removal al
the capital this winter. George w
Sterling pledged all his honor, aud al
his manhood. to vote for the capital Il
remain at Yankton this winter, and Oh
pose its removal by his vote aud intlu
ence. He made this pledge to the write
and to others, Internationally and unre
servedly. aud we hold him to that pledge
and he must not violate it. and can no
do it and preserve lis self-respect. Her
is the resolution:

YANKTON AND DAKOTA.

The opinion of an Outsider Arc Always
Interesting to the Public.
Special correspondence of the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Yankton, d. r., Feb. 7-the attention
OF the law-making power might profita-
bly, be directed to the inequalities and
peculiarities of the assessment of real
and personal property in the various
counties of Dakota, as shown by the re-
port Of the territorial auditor.
1t may strike one, on examination, as
rather remarkable that farming lands
should be returned at $l.S2 per acre in
Charles Mix county, while in Hughes
county, adjoining on the Missouri river,
Taxpayers are assessed on valuation OF
SLASH, the average valuation in forty
five counties being $3.50
In tue assessment OF live stock, not
two county assessors are agreed. The
horse, which in Mlnnehaha county is
rated as worth twenty-four dollars, on
being taken to Pembilla county would
rise in value to eighty-tive dollars, while
in Lawrence county it would be assessed
at sixty dollars, and on passing from one
county to another would be worth either
more or less as the case might be.
The mule ranges in value from twenty
five dollars in Lincoln county to one
hundred dollars in kiddcr county, and it
may seem to follow that when it comes
to paying taxes the Kidder county mule
is the highest kicker of the two. 1t
ought to be ut any rate.
The COW of Dawson county is assessed
at but two dollars, while in kingsbury
county she is returned at forty dollars,
|or cd ,>e EYkonn dol
lars throughout the territory.
Sheep are assessed ut three dollars per
head in Hughes county, as againsta n gen.
eral valuation of from one to two dol.
lars.
Hogs are variously valued according
to location;the highest figure beng ten
dollars per head IN Pemblna county, and
lowest one dollar t:la twenty five cents
pei head in Minnehaha county.
The proposed memorial to congress
