100000 year, Will go through tho House
beyond doubt, since It mot with 80 little op.
position In the Senate. This sum Is to be
distributed among the States In proportion to
the actual number OF active militia men, and
will, It is thought, have the eject OF Gre
ating militia many times better than the one
In existence. The distribution of arms to the
State militia now is made under an act OF
1S09-three quarters OF century old. There
having been no legislation on tho subject the
organizations In the States were effected and
maintained by dint OF untIring labor. IL
seemed 10 those at tho head OF them that their
military existence was matter OF little or no
consequence to the Government, and Adjutant-
General Drum, U. s. A., who has made effort
TO open communication with the State mill
tAry organizations, and 10 have them recOg.

The appointment of B.Platt Carpenter,
governor of Montana, pays another one
of Pres: dent Arthur's political debts and
gives to the territory on the west an ex-
cellent official. Mr.. Carpenter is gradu-
ate of Union college, Schenectady, N. Y,
and was an old classmate of Receiver
Gilmore of the Bismarck land Office in
1857. He is about so years old, we'll pre-
served and vigorous. He has been coun-
ty Judge, state senator, chairman Of the
republican state. committee and ran for
ieutenant-governor on the Folger ticket
IN 1882. He is highly respected in his
native state and is man of great execu-
tive ability. While President Arthur
has .disregarded the "resolve' in the
Chicago platform and gone outside the
territory to appoint an executive it will
doubtless prove beneficial, as certainly
the territory could never agree upon a
man in it's own confines.

VIM. H. BECKER, of Glendale, is being
pushed forward by his friends for gov
ernor of Dakota under democratic rule.
Becker is probably the most able demo-
crat, not only IN Dakota, but the entire
northwest Members of the last legisla-
ture will remember him. He is one OF
the leading railroad builders in the west,
having built last year line from Minne-
sofa to the Missouri (on paper). He
used to be in the banking business at
Ellendale, but his railroad enterprises
exhausted SO much of his time that the
stockholders and directors of the bank
unanimously agreed to close up the in
stitution that the railroad interests of
the northwest might not suffer. Mr..
Becker is young, ambitious, good looking
and q great favorite among the ladies.
He Is now figuring on a line of road from
Ellendale to Sitka, in Alaska. -Four
hundred and fifty thousand Dakotane
are longing to have Becker appointed
governor. c. ' ..-'-.--t

Miss MOrOSini.
[RrOOklVn Eaple1

How absurdly the descriptions Of Miss
Morosini were exaggerated in the newspa-
pers In tead of the beautiful creature I ex-
pected to see, when she sang at Steinway
hall, found a stumpy sort of a woman with
face that might have belonged to
housemaid or a cook and with awkward
and uncomfortable manners. I have come to
the conclusion that Schelling is not to be so
much envied after all. Miss Morosini pos
sesses about as much pretensions to beauty as
an average shoe factory girl, and she sings
in the high and somewhat nasal soprano pre-
valent in clearinghouse back parlors. He
seems to feel rather discouraged, as it Is,
though his wife is in a fair way to make
money. The talk about her singing in grand
opera, or even opera of any sort, is the wild
est sort of nonsense. If people want to go and
see Miss Victoria Morosini Schelling HuIs-
kamp simply because she has become notori-
Gus as bankers daughter who married
coachman, they are at liberty to do so, Of
course, if they are willing to pay $3.50 for
the sight 1t would be perhaps just as we'll
not to rave about the beauty and genius of
won IN who is not attractive in the slightest
degree, nor endowed with more than the most
ordinary of musical accomplishments.

The Grand Forks Plaindealer says:
The Dakota Legislature will meet on the
18th of January, at Bismarck. There Is
no doubt but what this will be the most
important session of the legislature ever
held in the territory. Every district have
sent the their ablest men to- represent
them both in the council and house and
what special legislation is carried through
must be worked very fine. The Eleventh
district is fortunate in having good men
to secure what is wanted and if anybody
gets anything, our own district may ex-
pect to come in for a fair share. The con-
test in the council may hurt in influence
of our members at the beginning OF the
session, but it will no doubt be settled in
short time, for as far as heard from, no
case has been made out, and it will not
take legislature of rustlers very long
to beside contest of this kind. Con-
siderable discussion will be devoted to
the legislation on farming and wheat
shipping and grading. The result will be
that farmers will have an opportunity to
secure cars if they are not satisfied with
the grades and in all probability the
carrying of freight will be reduced. At
least a measure of that kind will be pro
posed and there will be something done
in the premises. There will be nothing
radical or extreme passed for other west
ern states have found these extreme
measures hurtful to the community as
we'll as being sometimes found unconsti-
tutional. It will be strange if there is not
some good to come out OF the mass OF
bills and suggestions brought before the
next session.

EUGENE FIELD, in Chicago News: "The
Dayton Democrat is violently opposed
to the admission of Dakota as state,
and it reiterates with much gusto the

of Mizzoora, last week. As citizen of

all matters of importance, but we protest

ST. PAUL DAY: Experiments in
various parts of Oak ota in stock raising,
show large part of the territory is ad-
mirably adapted to propagating and
selling stock That part of the country
lying between the rivers in the southern
part, has as good advantages as either
Iowa or Nebraska, and is specially suited
to the breeding of blooded stock, to
dalrying and the cultivation and sale of
corn-fed cattle. West of the Missouri'
the country is nearly as well suited to
ranching as Wyoming or Montana, and
at various points along the Missouri and
in the Black Hills district there are some
large and valuable herds. In certain
districts, east of the Missouri, there are
fine ranches. Generally, Dakota far
mers are turning their attention more to
stock, and in a few years when the wheat
crop is found to degenerate, they will be
prepared to take up a branch of hus-
bandry at once more pleasant and pro-
fitable. Tits estimated that 10000 head
of fat stock have been shipped this year
to the eastern markets from Dakota, and
if the present rate of increase in the
stock interest is maintained, the terri
tory will soon rank among the first of
stock states as she already does among
the wheat states.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1884-12-26

FARGO ARGUS: There is no expectation
that the bill which has just passed the
senate by party vote, for the admission
of South Dakota as state, will get
through the house. In fact, 1t is doubt
ful that it would have got through the
senate had there not been entire conf
dence that it would be killed at the
other end of the capitol. The eighty or
more democratic majority is sure bar
rier to it's progress. There may be half
a dozen or so of intelligent democrats
who have been to Dakota and are
shocked at the absurd tictlons OF the
Missouri senator. They will possibly
give it their votes, but party interests
will dominate with the bulk of them,and
if the bill ever reaches vote, it will be
effectually strangled. When the bill was
introduce d last winter the Argus pointed
ont some Objectionable features in it.
One was the provision that North Dako-
ia. which is to remain territory, shall
take the name of Lincoln. There is no
name in American history that
stands higher than that of the
martyr president in the estimation
of Dakotans, but the North is
not proud. It has a name already with
which it is perfectly satisfied. It is the
trademark of it's famous and chief pro-
d,,ct and has commercial value which
i would be wanton and needless to take
away. There is special fitness that South
Dakota should take the name of Lincoln
as it was born under his administration,
and he appointed it's first governor. Tne
North then and for long years was but
hunting ground for the untamed red
man. No white but the soldier or the
adventurous explorer trod it's boundless
wilds until long after the translation OF
the first republican president to the
celestial type of the present Dakota.
The land of No. l hard is the true Da-
kota and will cling to the name. 1t is
true that rose by any other name would
not lose It's sweetness, but Lincoln wheat
will not meet the demands of the si'ua-
tion. The committee that reported the
bill expressed the opinion that the oppo-
sition in the north to giving up the name
of Dakota was losing ground, notable
lack of reliable information on the part
of the senators. There are other details
of the proposed measure that would call
for criticisms If there was any pOssl-
bility of it's enactment.

to say nothing of four, more republican
senator's, and one or two more repubi-
can representatives. As Vest puts it,
they want to wait few years, until dem
ocratic federal officials have done q little
democratic missionary work in the terri
tory" Another special says that Judge
Clifford is in Washington assisting in the
admission bill and the opening of the
Sioux reservation. There is some hope
for the latter bill, but none at all for the
former.

An Embarrassed Inventor.
Boston Herald,

Among the regular passengers on a certain
Boston railroad is somewhat celebrated
chemist, who has lately compounded mix
ture for the cure of cholera. The other
evening he was in conversation with the con-
ductor regarding his discovery, and being
very much interested in it's wonderful me-
dcinal properties, he raised his voice so as to
attract the attention of all the passengers in
the car. "Why," said he, "my medicine will
knock the cholera higher than a burnt boot.
l wish it would come here, AMI would show
you how quick would conquer it and make
my fortune besides "What's the matter
with your going out there where it is and
wrestling with it!' blandly suggested tho
genial conductor. "Why, might catch it
myself" innocently: replied the would-be
cholera exterrninator, and the roars IF
laughter that filled the cars at that moment
SO confused the worthy inventor as to cause
his sudden retirement to the smoking car.
