Mr.. Packard comes to Yaukton armed
with the memorial prepared by the peo.
pie OF Yankton county and forwarded to
congress. In that memorial, after recit.
ing the resolutions adopted, occurs the
following paragraph:
In pursuance of the foregoing decided ex.
preston on the part of the people of Yankton
county, and under the authority thus conferred
to speak OF them, your memorialists respect
fully and urgently request that congress (hav-
ing full power to legislate for the territories,
and Subdivisions of Counties thereinl viii pass
an act authorizing in positive terms the officials
or representative of Yankton county to issue,
voters Of said county, a sufficient - amount MOI f Of
well-guarded bonds, bearing four and one half
per cent. interest per annum, redeemable after
ten and thirty @
after ten years, to retire and pay the principal
at maturity, for the purpose of purchasing,
d than
coupons against Yankton county at the time the
proposed act shall take effect, and also that
such other relief may be granted said county as
equity and Justice may require.
Congress having failed to comply with
the request contained within the forego-
ing, Mr.. Packard is here to ask the legis.
lature of Dakota to act in the matter.
He desires however, to make change
from the request of the petitioners by
providing in the proposed bill that after
ten years have passed the people may
pay the face of the bonds or submit tc
an increase of interest thereon to five
per cent. This we think is the vital poin
of difference between the people ant
Mr.. Packard. There seems to be will
ingness to agree to the issue of bond
bearing four and one-half per cent ant
running ten years with the privileg,
OF thirty years, or even to limi
the maximum to twenty years. From
our conversation with leading tax-pay
ers We are induced to believe that foul
and a half per cent. ten.twenty bono
would be acceptable. This would give
US the opportunity, if We choose to TAX
advantage of it and financial matter
are so shaped as to make the none.
available, to issue new bonds at lov
rate of interest at the end of ten year
and take up the proposed four and hal
per cent. bonds given to the present bon'
holders. Mr.. Packard should concede t
us enough to omit the proposed one.hal
per cent. penalty after ten years an,
permit us to settle with him on the pre-
posed basis. The general public sent
ment is also that the bill authorizing til
new bonds should not require us to ir
cur the expense of an election. This
not q proposition to incur indebtedness
but proposition to settle an indebte;
ness already incurred by vote of til
people. Hence 1t will not occupy th
position OF Il bonding act in the usu;

warm-Thirty-Three Below

There is no question but that the
weather we have had for the past week
is the coldest known in this section OF
the territory for years, and yet it has not
been at all unpleasant, nor even uncom-
Portable. This is gratifying to those
who contemplate immigrating here
next spring. We can state, without hesi-
tation, that with the thermometer at
thirty. y.three degrees below zero, the cold
is not felt 80 much here as it would be in
the eastern states with the thermometer
at sixty degrees below. Just write this
down for positive fact!

It is the boast Of some Of the Huron
ties that they have raised some $25,000
to secure the removal of the capital and
that they will raise $4,000 if necessary.
What for? What are they going to do
with the money?

The Pennsylvania State Convention ap-
pears to be an earnest of the reunion of
the republican party in that State. The
stalwarts had majority OF delegates, but
no attempt was made to forestall or con-
troll the nominations, which appear to give
good satisfaction. There seems to have
been the same freedom of choice as is ex-
ercised in Maine in the selection of candi-
dates. The platform is in the main an
excellent one. The resolve in favor OF
distributing surplus revenue appears to be
unnecessary at this time and of doubtful
propriety. but with this exception. the
platform is all that could be desired. Es-
pecially is the resolve in relation to the
holding Of the primaries one to be COM
mended as right in principle and calculat-
cd to promote harmony in the party Or
ganization in the State. Now if the pri-
maries are we'll attended, there ought to
be but little trouble in the future about
the management Of party affairs. The
harmony and unity Of this convention
augurs well for the harmony and success
OF the republicans in the wider and more
important contest of next year.
