The Capital and the syndicate.

Frederick Herald: It will soon be de.
cided where the future capital of Dako
Will be, and our neighboring village. Ord
way, is all expectation. The fact that q
syndicate has been purchasing whole Sec
tions of land lying between that village
and the Milwaukee & st. Paul, has in
duced many to think that there existed a
secret understanding between the syndi-
cate and capital commissioners. But
as straws shows which way the wind
blows, SO there are several little things
which induce us to think that the syndi-
cate are not as. sure as they, were q, few
weeks ago. But if the capital should be
located 1t another point, the problem i !
what will the syndicate do They must
have some other scheme to carry out
1t is not reasonable to suppose that
wealthy men would invest SO largely in
land without some reasonable show of q
certain profit. Ordway's bid of 800
acres Of land and hundred thousand
dollars is decidedly good bid. He,
neig Aberdeen did not do near SO
well. In fact, I'VE are inclined to think
tIat Aberdeen's- bid is not made SO much
in expectation OF getting the capital as ol
advertising their town.

OURSELVES 70 BLAME


II Dakota is not Admitted into the Union.
Alta Californian.
Dakota cannot throw the blame of her
non-admission to the union entirely on
the late congress. It was in her power
to have taken the preliminary steps to
admission by drafting and adopting q
constitution. Newspapers have spoken
of the derilection of the late congress in
not making Dakota state, as If congress
could have passed an admission bill ad-
mitting of hand. without further cere-
mony. But that is not the way in which
states are admitted into the union. All
that congress could have done at its late
session was to pass an enabling act,
authorizing the territory to elect, dele.
gates to convention, draft constitution.
submit it to a popular vote,and if adopted,
present it to congress for approval. As
the session of Congress lasted but ninety
days, this programme could not have
been carried out ln time for tile submis.
sion of the complete constitution for
final action by congress before the 4th of
March. Tie best that could have been
done was the adoption Of the constitu.
ton in time for ratification by the next
congress, and the people of Dakota could
do that as well without an act Of con.
gress as with it Several of the states
adopted constitutions without authori-
Zatlon by congress, California being an
illustration. The late legislature of Da.
kota did, in fact, pass bill authorizing
the holding of constitutional conven.
tion, preparatory to the admission as a
state of that part Of the territory south
of the 46th parallel, but it was passed
only few days before adjournment, and
Governor Ordway refrained from signing
it, allowing it to become dead letter.
1t the territorial legislature had been SO
much in earnest about the matter as it
was about the location of the new capi-
tai, it would not have allowed the meas.
ure to abort in this way. The bill should
have been passed early in the session,
when it could not have been pocketed
by the governor, and if the requisite in
fiuence had been exerted he
would have signed it. Ordway
has professed to be anxious to
hasten the admission of the new
state. and his action on the convention
bill is therefore inexplicable. He per-
haps, thought there was no probability
of securing the necessary consent to
admission from the democratic majority
IN the next congress, and that for this
reason 1t was a matter of small movement
whether the convention bill passes or
not. But in reality it was matter of a
good deal of importance that Dakota
should do all that lay in her power to
signify her desire for admission. 1t
would have strengthened the plea which
the republicans can make in favor Of the
justice of Dakota's demand, and it would
have added weight to the plank which
they will undoubtedly insert in. their
next national platform in favor of the
right Of the more populous territories to
be admitted to the union when they are
properly qualified.

The capital commission has completed
the grand rounds and is resting at st.
Paul. 1t is to assemble at Fargo next
Monday for the purpose of deciding
where, in the estimation of the commits.
sion, the capital should be located.
There are among the commissioners and
the camp followers various opinions.
Captain Hughes believes that settle
ment of the case will be very speedily
reached, while Mr.. Mathews anticipates
failure to agree and says the commits.
sioners will finally go home without &C.
complishing anything and will await the
action of the next legislature. This was
his conclusion, although there had been
no conference among the members of
commission. George n. Walsh states
positively that either Odessa or Mitchell
will be selected by the commission and
bases his opinion upon his own observa.
tion. He gave as the first ballot: Odes
sa, 2; Bismarck, 1; Pierre, 1; Mitchell, 2;
Redtield, 1; Huron, 2. Among northern
ers, Bismarck is the favorite point and il
is fully believed by them that it will re.
ceive the choice of the commission. Up
on the hopes of Bismarck the st. Paul

this is not fortunate result.
There Is much force in the argument o.

1t is feared by the ST. Paul Pioneer.
Press that the location of Dakota's can
ltal SO far north as Bismarck would form
an obstacle to the division of tina ter.
ritory by creating political center
north of the forty-sixth parallel, the cen
'tripotal attraction of which will tend to
'obliterate the natural line of division
between north and south Dakota, and
give forced unity to territory which
would otherwise fall easily into two
States" Herein the Pioneer Press srrs.
Such location would strengthen the di-
vision scheme. Give the north capital
and the south must also have one and
the unanimous sentiment of its people
would speedily compel division and
statehood. The choice of the commits.
sion naturally belongs to the north. 1t
was a. northern syndicate which Joined
hands with Ordway to accomplish the
speculation and according to all the rules
III vogue among manipulators of this
class, to the victors belong the spolls.
we would much prefer to turn over the
entire ring to northern Dakota and then
fence them off along the line of the 46th
parallel and give them Ordway for their
chief. So long as he remains in the
south there is danger in the future of
this section of the territory. Ii, therefore,
the commission succeeds in running him
across the line, the people of the south
will see to it that the bars are put up and
kept up. In the broad pastures of tha,
northern realm he will meet many OF his
kind, and fellow feeling will make life
more pleasant to him. His peculiar
methods will be appreciated up there
and when he tells them about the Wash.

A Pleasant Trip
Mr.. WIN. II. G az the member Of the
school board and tha teachers appointed to
attend the annual Association of tie 4chers re-
turned home last Friday after three day 8
sojourn at Ocetn City, the place Of meeting.
Mr.. Gray called at our Office on Tuesday and
expressed himself as highly delighted with his
visit and he says the only thing he has to
greet is, that lkeal other good things there
was MT enough of it. The meeting of the
Association was harmonious, interesting
and iustruc i've and highly gratifying to all.
10 Mr.. Gray's opinion it is hard to estimate
the value to teachers of these yearly meetings
of their Association the free Interchange of
views, the open and active discussion of school
m itters and school government among teachers
opens up to them new avenues of thought and
gives them, by comparison, better ideas for the
management of their schools. He says that
one must attend these meetings to obtain
proper idea of their value and he thinks it is Il
good and excellent feature and should be per-
petuated. He says further that the bamy sea
breez's Of Maryland's "Loug Branch" were
delightful, and under their genial influence the
beaux and bellies were led to grave excuses in
the matter of "a sting pretty verses aud saying
some other pretty things that would bring
b ushes t. the faces of th2ir listener. He fears
that the fascinating teacher of the school in this
village has courted more bellies and made more
promises in those three days han any ordinary
man could in lifetime. Dancing Was INDUCED
in every night from to ii o'clock, then the
heated dancers would pair off in couples for a
promenade on the beach, and as they passed
along by the roaring bilows-which tell no
tales-the procession was simply grand and
edifying, He, of course, being a staid Bene-
dict, could do naught but gaze on in silent
wonder.

Another Outrage Case.

outrage was committed on Miss Cecilia Ann
Pickerell, a white woman, living near Middle
town, by Frederick Babel a white man, en-
ployed as farm hand on the land of Mr..
Jas H. Groves. 1t seems that Miss Pickerell
had been in the b tbit of going to Mr.. Groves
COW pen for the purpose Of obtaining milk
which that gentlem IN kindly gave her permis-
sion to do. On the ming of the alleged out
rage, she went there rs usual about sundown,
and while getting her milk the m IN Babel came
up and engaged her in conversation. She
talked with him but short lime and then
turned to 20, when he, without any previous
warning or intim ttioh of his evil intentions,
