Here is something decidedly rich. 1t
is from a Bismarck Capital interview
with Jumbo relative to the recent
Fargo meeting. Ordway said:
want it known that l am bitterly
opposed to the revolutionary programme
OF Campbell and Pettigrew. As regards
the action taken at the Fargo confer.
ence yesterday I have given the subject
there discussed but little attention. l
think it proper to leave the questions OF
admission and division for the people
to decide and am willing to cooperate
with them in attaining their desired OBJ
ject when decision is reached. I can
see no objection TO an assembling of the
people to give expression to their views
on anv question which may to them
seem to be for the best interest of their
different sections, but can not see as
much can be accomplished in any direc.
ton toward admission or division with
out first obtaining the consent of con.
gress.
There is no objection in the guberna.
torial mind to gathering at Fargo, but
a gathering at Sioux Falls is revolution
ary. The latter being arranged in oppo.
sition to Ordwayism aud the former in
his interest accounts for the inconsis.
teucy.

We publish an interview with Hon. A.
@. Mellette, Of Watertown, gwen Chi
cago Inter.Ocean correspondent. Mr..
Mellette's position is the position of a
loyal man and true Dakotaian. He
has placed himself solidly on the plat.
form Of division before admission and
proposes to remain there forever if the
rights of the south are disregarded at
Washington. This is the spirit We make
haste to commend. We hold that con-
gress cannot force Dakota into the union
as one state SO long as it contains the
patriotism to reject the proposition at
the ballot box. Such position might
doom us to years of territorial condition,
but eyen this would not be so disastrous
as the admission of all of Dakota
as state. Mr.. Mcllette has nailed
his flag to the mast. He is in favor
of division, and, to quote his own
words, much as I desire statehood
1 would refuse it eternally on
any other basis" He advocates the elec.
tion of provisional state ticket and OF
two representatives in congress and
seconds the proposition to divide the
positions with the democrats, even tc
members of the electoral college. There
is nothing in the expressions of Mr.
Mellette which cannot be heartily en-.
dorsed by the earnest advocates of divi
sion and admission. The Sioux Falls
convention will honor itself and be Just
to its constituents by adopting his sug
gestions.

Forty.six years ago DIR. Riggs began .rc
work of an active missionary among the
Sioux Indians of Minnesota and when
they left that state and came to Dakota
he followed them to their abiding places
and took up the labor where it was in
tcrrupted by the outbreak of 1862. Early
in his career he began the tedious task Of
reducing the Sioux language to printed
forms and as a result has given to this

There is growing sentiment in favor
of al equal division of the first install
mont of state officials among the two
political parties. The Sioux Falls
Leader remarks:
A fair aud equitable division OF tile
Offices between the two great parties
would certainly remove all objection on
the score of partisan help or hurt, and
would place the movement for statehood
on the broad basis of patriotism. The
only thing in the way is the narrowgauge
seltishness which is the distinguishing
characteristic OF the average politician.
None OF the marrow guagc selfshness"
suggested by the Leader has yet exhib-
tied itself in connection with the constl-
tutional move. 1.-THE convention decides
upon an equal division Of places in the
interest of admission the people will
stand by the decision.

A Washington telegram says the spe-
cial agents Of the general land office are
daily reporting cases of the fraudulent
entries Of land, which are at once can
celed. From July ], up to date, there
have been Cancelled 13l entries and fl
ings, embracing all classes of land, in
nearly all the land districts. The largest
number was in Dakota, but that is attri-
buted to the fact that the greatest
amount of land business is now in that
territory. The cancellations are based
on reports showing the oligilal entries
to have been fraudulent, or upon relin.
punishment. proving that there was fraud
at the beginning. There Is large num-
Der of special agents, and transactions at
the land Offices are being closely watched.

The st. Paul Pioneer. Press says that the
Mormons appear to be considerably ex-
ercised over the Presidents message,
regarding it in the light of menace.
Delegate Grains bill for the admission of
Utah to Statehood naturally meets with
great favor among them, as such solu-
ton of the problem would leave them
practically free from government control.
As the DESERT Nems neatly and insinu-
atingly puts it, the admission would ire
lieve the government Of the supposed
necessity of srappling with so perplexing
problem, that belongs to the domestic
affairs of State rather than the general
supervision Of Federal authority. This
question Of polygam it adds, would cut
no figure in the admission" not being
recognized by the constitution. No
doubt this would be charming way
from Mormon point of view-of settling
the matter. 1t is said that the Mormons,
realizing the fact that polygamy is re-
garded by the major part of the country
as the chief objection to Mormonism, are
planning little device to remove the
cause of offense. This is to secure the
passage of law in the Territorial Legis-
lature making polygamy a crime, and
then to ask admission. They forgot to
state how the people are to be assured of
the permanence of such an act. The
wiles of Mormonism are too well known
to permit of so payable dodge being at
all effective.

TWO GOOD BILLS.

Senator ingalls,, of Kansas, is after the
cattle kings of the great west with a
sharp stick. He has introduced two
bills in the Senate, the first one of
which provides that any person who in
closes an area of public lands to which
he has no title, shall be liable to a fine of
one hundred dollars a day for the time
such enclosure is maintained, and any
person obstructing the passage Of another
over or through the public domain shall
for every ofiense pay the aggrieved per-
son five hundred dollars. The other bill
authorizing the resurvey Of townships
enormously surveyed, or in which monu-
ments marking the boundaries have
been obliterated or removed. Both
measures are steps in the right direction.
As the volume of government land eligi-
bic for settlement becomes yearly re-
duced, the necessity of preventing vast
tracts suitable for agriculture being locked
up as grazing land, especially by those
who have no shadow of title, becomes
more and more apparent, and the pro-
posed legislative remedies are not APP
piled for day too soon.

that honorable position, his name only
appearing at the head of the editorial
page" We had always supposed SO too,
and when the article appeared in reliable
a paper as the CHRONICLE we began to
doubt our identity, but to settle the ques-
ton we will state now, that we occupy
the position of editor Of this paper and
have from its beginning that we have
now associated with us Mr.C. C. Cochran
Mr.. Yerkes has until now been the bust
ness manager and local editor of the pa
per and in the article in question has
COMPOUNDED the term business manager
with managing editor, and we desire fur

been brought about at the suggestion of
Mr.. Yerkes himself and not as the re-
snlt of any disagreement between him.

ways been and we hope will continue to
be of the most pleasant character and we
hope to retain his valuable services upon

ST. PAUL. December 10th, 1883.

ST. PAUL. December 10th, 1888.
Editors Of the Bozeman Chronicle:
The opinion of a person who has been
many years in the mountains, in fact
living high, of two towns the size of St.
Paul and Minneapolis, each of which
have a population of 100000 may inter-
est some other of the old residents of our
country who are becoming fossils. Both
cities have fine buildings, but in the
matter of large business blocks St. Paul
leads its sister city, asst does any town
of its size in the West. 1t is the finan-
cial, commercial and railroad center of
Minnesota, while Minneapolis leads in
manufacturing, milling and lumber bust
ness. The corporate limits of the two
towns are but two miles apart, and if the
Mississippi river does not act as bar they
will in time be under one government
and one name. All branches of business
with one exception, are lively, for now
the retail stores through Minnesota
and Dakota are filling up their stock.
The exception is the numbering business.
The market being overstocked, the prices
range low and there is no sale for timber
lands.
Last week st. Paul was treated to some
fine music from the Boston Ideal Opera
troupe, of which the deponent had his

All that l have met express strong
and friendly interest in Montana and
that it has brilliant future, towards
which these towns will contribute.

Northern Pacific Prospects.

The Minneapolis Journal says that
Vice-PresideDt Cakes has just returned
from trip over the Northern Pacific, and
is very enthusiastic concerning the con-
dition and prospects of the road. During
the month of November the earnings
averaged S3OO,S00 a week; and he is of
the opinion that, with its present equip
ments, at least fifty per cent more bus
mess could be done. The policy of re-
trenchment, he says, will only be follow
ed in regard to operating expenses, con-
struction work and Improvements being
continued as time and the needs of bus
mess will warrant. The company has
been surprised at the amount of local
business, and finds that new districts are
continually opening up and becoming
factors in the business interests of the
country.

Senator Stewart Of Nevada, says that
mining is one of the poorest paying of
our great industries. During the past
thirteen years 100000 of people have
been engaged in the business in one way
or another, and the total yield has not
averaged S2,OOO,OOO in silver and gold.
1t is impossible tosurmise where Senator
Stewart got his statistics. The yield of
gold in 1877 was S45, 100000; in 1873 it
was SAG, 266, l07; in 1879 it was $3S,9OO,-
600. The yield of silver during these
years was s3s,95O,O0O, $46,726,3l3, s4O,-
$4,000. But though the Senator's figures
are as badly awry as those Of the average
Republican table made for campaign pur-
poses, his conclusion is nearly correct.
Farming in the Gallatin valley pays bet
ter than mining.

In order to be up with the times the
Prohibitionists are coming to the front
with a Constitutional Amendment. On
their behalf Senator Blair has intro
duced in the United States Senate joint
resolution proposing Constitutional
Amendment, regarding alcoholic liquors.
The proposed amendment prohibits the
manufacture or sale of distilled and alco-
holic intoxicating liquors, except for
medicinal, mercantile, chemical and sci
entific purposes or their use in the arts
in any of the States or Territories, and
the importation of such liquors except
for the purposes named; and the bill
provides that should the amendment not
be ratified by three-fourths of the States
before the last of December, 1890, the
prohibition it proposes shall take effect
as an act of Congress at the expiration of
ten years.
