The tide of emigration which has
set in from the mountain districts OF
Hungary for the last two years toward
America is beginning to occupy the at
tention Of the Hungarian government.
Many take advantage Of the nearness
Of the Galician frontier to get across
without passports. In order to prevent
this, the Hungarian government has
requested the Austrian to prevent the
passage of those not provided with the
proper documents, and especially OF
those who have not performed their
military service.

ays: "When agreed to star her five
years and pay her 800 week and 20
per cent. of the profits I made her go
into writing not to marry during the
engagement"
"Why did you tie her up this way''
because actresses lose their hearts
more madly and more absurdly than
any women in the world. And marry
ing nearly always spoils them. I've
had more actresses ruined by husbands
than all other ways put together. Miss
Elmore is clearing $4,000 year, and
in five vea1s--she will then be 24-she
can then marry and quit the stage. But
she can't think of love till her time is
up. Many young actresses are bound
up in the same sort of contract, and held
to it strictly"

A NEW branch of industry mas sprung
UP in Sweden lately-the fabrication
Of paper from moss, not from the liv-
ing plant, but from the bleached and
blanched remains Of moses that lived
centuries ago, and of which enormous
masses have accumulated in most parts
Of Sweden. A mandatory of paper
from this material has begun opera
tions near Joenkaeping, and is turning
out paper in all degrees Of excellence,
from tissue to sheets three-quarters Of
an inch in thickness. These latter are
harder than wood.

The ratification of the constitution BY
80 large majority as is now assured is
q death blow to the scheme for the ad.
mission of Dakota as whole scheme
concocted by few for personal gain and
opposed by the masses in both sections
Of Dakota. The Huron convention de.
clared for division on the 46th parallel,
the Sioux Falls convention endorsed the
declaration and the people of tho south
half have ratified the endorsement. Were
the same question brought to vote in the
north it would receive an overwhelming
majority there. So there is but ono con.
clusion to reach in the premises-admis.
sion as whole is dead and the ballots of
southern voters have killed it. A soon
as the state executive committee has pro-
malgated the result it will be the duty
OF the committee appointed for that pur.
pose to make up its case and pro-
ceed to Washington and lay
it before congress. The state com.
mittee will prepare bill for tho admis.
sion of the state of Dakota, ratifying
and endorsing the constitution adopted
by the people and ordering an election
of state officers within the new state.
Assurances have been received from men
of both shades of political opinion that
they will support such measure and
the administration is known to favor it.

1t is asserted thu. the light vote for
the constitution will prove disastrous to
that document in Washington, - indi-
eating an insufficient population. The
state executive committee and @. N.
Keith, census enumerator, have put into
operation scheme whereby it is hoped
that full count of the population may
be secured. The people can aid this
movement materially by giving it little
attention. The count is to be made by
school districts and the district clerks
have all been supplied with the means to
make returns 10 the census enumerator.
The state executive committee asks the
papers Of southern Dakota to call the at
tention of their readers to this project
and solicit general assistance in it's be-
half The plan of making count by
school districts was suggested by Super
intendent of instruction Beadle, who de-
clares it entirely practicable and gives it
his official endorsement.

With people outraged beyond all On
durance over the acts Of speculative

and demand his expulsion from the ofios
he has dishonored, it seems that the time
is not far distant when Ordwsy must 60.
A united effort is to be made to impress
the administration with . sense Of the
undtness of this particular servant, and
there is reason to believe that the wishes
of the people will be needed. The Sim
pie fact that the people Of Dakots do
not want Ordway for governor should be
sufficient to secure his removal and a. it
is clear that they do not want him, it il
their duty to themselves to say 90. Since
the constitution of southern Dakota
was ratified the people are stronger than
ever before and are in an excellent posi-
tion to overthrow an obnoxious sxecu-

pie who ought to be citizens Of the Uni.
ted States. II means that if Governor
Ordway can enforce his wishes upon
the executive at Washington in the
face Of the popular opinion, the ex-
pressed wishes and the interests
and welfare OF our people, he can
much more easily secure his reap
pointment as governor. since that is an
exclusively executive affair. SO far the
nearly unanimous voice of the press of
Dakota, north and south, speaking the
public sentiment OF the people, has
failed to move the attention or sy NJ pathy
OF the government. What remains, in
view Of Governor Ordway's audacious,
inpudent and unwarranted recommen.
dation to the government, is for our
people to exercise the right of petition,
and memorable the president and
congress against these representations of
their executive head, and at the same
time praying for the removal of that
head. in such sweeping strength that the
central authorities will no longer be
able, in common decency, TO disregard
the fact that tho aims, interests, policy
and welfare of Nehemiah Ordway, on one
hand, and of the people OF Dakota. on
the other, are as wide apart as the poles
asunder.

Ordway upon the public opinion of Da.
