PARKER NEW ERA: The election of
Cleveland is severe blow to the di-
vision and statehood movement in Da-
kota. The Bourbons will not allow any
more northwestern states than they can
help, and they are now in position to de-
feat our division and admission plan,
and of course will do it.
ST.. PAUL DISPATCH: The area of pub
lie land disposed of in Dakota last year
was larger than that of either Belgium,
Denmark, Greece or Switzerland, and
the settlement of Dakota can hardly be
said to have really begun, either. What
is a specially gratifying feature of this
disposition of land is that by far the
larger part of it has gone into hands Of
actual settlers.
TIE two great cattle kings of the Pa
ci6c coast, Miller and Lux, are said to
have been poor men twenty years ago.
Their stock of cattle numbers about 9O,-
600 head, and they have 115,OO head Of
sheep, killing about 5000 every month.
They own an irrigating canal which is
valued at 81, 100000, and their 300 miles
Of fences are invaluable possessions. In
California their inland property amounts
to 100000 acres, in Nebraska 10000 acres,
and they have besides 10000 acres of
alfalfa grass.
REGULARLY every year, Thomas Con-
roy, an industrious shoemaker of Tan
ner's Falls, Pa, receives official notice
t rom Dublin, Ireland, that q fortune Of
five thousand pounds, with the accumu-
lation Of twenty-six years, is in bank
there awaiting his order, and regularly
every year he sends back word that he
will never touch a penny Of the money
until he has had justice done him in
another way-an apology from his
uncle, who had wronged him.

The Chicago Tribune says one of the
probable results of change of the ma
tional administration will be the blast
ing, whitening effect it will have upon
the appearance and condition of the ma
tional capitol. Prior to the war, when
the south was in power at Washington,
it was shabby, shiftless, uninteresting
unprogressive southern city, without
beauty or attractiveness of any kind.
Probably no civilized capitol in the
world was SO tawdy as Washington.
The advent OF the republican administra-
ton, however, and its twenty -four years
of power have entirely changed it's ap-
pearance and made it handsome north
ern city. New and elegant buildings,
public and private, have been erected.
Beautiful streets have been laid out.
Parks have been built. Great hotels
have been constructed. Millions of
northern money have poured into 1t and
been expended in beautifying it. In it's
society, it's culture and it's progress in
every way it has made rapid advances
and has now become one of tht hand
soonest capitals in the world.

Ex- Gov. Ordway has not forgotten Dakota's

in the territory and they may rest assured that
