Chamberlain Democrat,

Last week the capital commission case
was tried by the supreme court at Yank-
ton. The people we're represented by
Moody, Tripp and Gamble, while Col
onel Villas, OF Wisconsin, the silver
tongued orator and able lawyer, repre-
sented the interest of the commission.
To say that the case was ably argued on
both sides would be only saying what is
known by every one who is acquainted
with the brilliant legal luminaries who
were connected with the case. While
the Democrat is very sorry at the result
OF the case, We can say we are not disap-
pointed. There is no doubt but that
Judge Palmer had mentally decided the
case long before he received his ap.
pointment from President Arthur, and
oil the learning and logic that could be
heaped together could not and did not
have any effect upon him. The able ar
guments of Moody, Tripp and Gamble,
that we're indisputable to candid mind,
the citation of precedent after precedent
sustaining their case. fell at his feet as il
they were the idle clamorings of an un-
noticeable and vulgar crowd. We speak
Of Palmer in this vein because we always
thought him lawyer and that he would
make an able judge, bnt we understand
he accepted his appointment after hav.
ing expressed his views on the legality
of the capital question. and consequently
we could expect nothing.
OF Judge Hudson we know nothing,
and are only glad we do not live in a
district presided over by him, while
Church has the unenviable reputation
of being like necessity and knowing no
law. II that is fact, he is excusable
for what he does not know, and the Lord
may forgive him for this decision if he
will take the earliest opportunity that
presents itself to resign and retire from
the territory. For Chief Justice Edger-
ton, we have the kindliest feelings and
believe he acted with all the impair.
tiality that characteriZes an upright
Judge, and fully sustained himself in
the estimation of the honest peo-
pie of Dakota. For the present we
have nothing left us but to abide by the
decision as rendered. But the people Of
south Dakota will never yield to the
fraudulent dealings of the capital com.
mission, conceived by Ordway and the
Bismarck crowd and carried through by
Northern Pacific gold. Let US stand
together, brethren, and by our united
efforts follow this case to the highest
tribunal Of this nation and we will carry
back to the people of Dakota the grand
proclamation that our case has been
heard by an unbiased court and that
right has triumphed over might and that
the capital commission is ousted.

ANNEX ALTON.

Bro. Cuddy, Of the Caldwell Tribune,
claims that the building of the Short
Line dowa Snake river to Lewiston, will
annihilate the scheme of annexation of
North Idaho to Washington. We can
not deny the fact, that the completion of
the Short Line would destroy much of
the objection to an alliance with South
Idaho, arising from difficulties and ex-
pense in our people transacting business
- the Capital. But other important rea-
sons for annexation have been urged.
which the railroad would not obviate.
One Is that the shape of this part of the
territory IS such that it precludes q
proper division into counties so as to ac
eonnodate the people Of North Idaho.
Another is that the commercial and So
eial iteresss Of the two sections are in No

our people have made up their minds to

earliest practicable period aud with her

growth Of this section Of country, which
she cannot secure by remainu. in Idaho
North Idaho cannot look forward to the
admission Of Idaho as a state during the
ensuing twenty years, with any reasonable
expectations, or could he be admitted
in S, tine, the limited resources Of
Idaho, outside Of those existing 10 the
northern part, are such a, do rot war
rant any very rro.poTou, growth in
wealth, outside Of Ler mines which are
liable to prove only efhemeral, the same
as have those Of the state of Nevada.
while the resources of Washington and
North l1ahj combined are very extensive
and varied, AMI promise a continued
prosperity Of The new state for a century
or more, and give to her On influence aud
power with the general government equal
to that of any state On the pacii;c slope.
An.ther reason is that We prefer state
that has SEA coast to one that is entirely
IN the interior, for many reasons We could
name, and that is one reason why we do
not like the proposition some have put
forward to have Washington divided by
the Cascade mountain range. The o. s.
l.. down Snake river, will have no more
Influence in uniting North and South
Idaho, than will the railroad across the
Cascade mountain have in uniting East
ern and Western Washington and not
onc-half as much, because the products
u the two sections of WASHINGTON are
great and are Interchangeable, while
those Of North and South Idaho have no
such outlook to any great extent. SO as to
create any great commercial exchange Of
