DIST, and after organization adopted the
following resolutions:
RESOLVED, That we regard a more
thorough and perfect organization of
ehe press as essential to the advance
ment and development of South Dako-
ia.
That we believe the press of said sec
ton should be q unit upon all subjects
OF territorial Importance.
That we unqualifiedly condemn Ord
Waylsm, and the methods of north Da-
kota.
That we combine to form a united
south in opposition to the united north
already united to despoil South Dakota
OF her just rights.
Ihat we demand division first and
thereafter statehood-but admission
AN I'll lolOl-ucSST,
That we favor and demand the OPEN
ing OF all reservations in the territory
and denounce their existence as detri-
mental alike to Indian and white set
tiers.
In behalf of Dakota's industrious
delegate the Ipswich (Edmunds county,
Bulletin says:
Delegate Raymand is certainly exert
ing himself inbehalf Of Dakota's inter-
est in Washington. The dispatches
every day made mentlono of some benef-
lcent measure which he has introduced
and urged to passage. His bill to pro-
vide for additional judges in Dakota,
which, for some unaccountable reason,
was so roughly handled in the senate,
promises to be more successful in the
house of representatives. His bill to
increase the Dakota legislature has
passed the house, and bids fair to be-
come a law before tho next election.
The bill will double the present repre-
s%entation, giving each district four
members of the house and two of the
council, making in each body forty
eight and twenty-four members respec-
lively. These are two of the most i'm
portant measures which Delegate Ray
mond has urged, but they are not the
only ones by any means.
Mitchell Mail, June 5:-The quiet of
Sunday evening last, was broken by the
sharp report of a revolver in the vicin-
ity OF Corbin's livery barn. Upon gain
ing the groundit was found that Night
Waterman Eller had shot a young man
by the name Of John Burke, while try
ing to arrest him for drunkenness. The
ball entered the thigh passing back of
the femor bone making an ugly flesh
wound, although not necessarily fatal.
Various rumors were in circulation re-
garding the affair, but as far as we are
able to learn from hearsay, Burke was
acting very hostile, and whether the
shooting was necessary or not, all must
admit it was done in the discharge of
duty,
Huron Tlmes;-E. E. Carpenter, of
Beloit, Iowa, who is alleged to have
been a partner CT John D. Cameron in
the fraudulent Santa Fe scrip business
has disappeared. He should have been
present at the opening: Of court at
Yankton on the 9th. 1t is thought
that unless Carpenter is brought to tri-
al Cameron cannot be. convicted. The
latter is, in Yankton wearing an unpar-
allelled cluster of indictments. Car
penter's bail bond was for $4,000, and
was furnished by his father and BROTH
ers.
Governor Z1ebach, the leading demo-
crat of Dakota. advises the people as
follows:
A majority of the supreme court has
decided against the people and in favor
of a ~corruptly created and corruptly
managed commission. The remedy Of
the people is an appeal from the SUI
preme court to the ballot box. Let the
appeal be taken and a decision rendered
that will overwhelm those who make a
mockery OF justice. This is no time
for party quibbling. The people must
use h e,ballot for theprotection of their
honor and their rights.
San francisco Alta:-A gentleman
who has just returned from Washing
ton territory was asked. how he liked
the country. "Well, sir, every bunch
of willows is a mighty forest, every
frogpond a sylvan lake, every waterfall
a second Minnehaha, every ridge of
rocks a gold mine, every town a county
seat, and every man u liar"
Chicago Tribune:-The funny. and
the fine are sometimes ludicrously
blended by members of the o%ratorical
persuasion. An instance of the sort
