TIL. Truth in a Nat Shell.

Huron Huronite: It would really be.
gin to seem that Dakota people have no
rights which the federal government is
bound to respect. With population
three times the number required for
statehood she is denied admission into
the union, and this with the avowed inten.
tion of depriving her of vote in the
coming presidential election.
An overwhelming majority of her citi-
zens are in favor Of the division OF the
territory, yet there is every prospect that
it admitted at all it will be as
whole. and the act will not
take effect until the next session
of congress. The chief executive officer
Of the territory is allowed to speculate
in capital and county seat schemes that
would disgrace any nation, and not only
is he not removed, but congress is called
upon to validate disgraceful and mon
strous speculation which the federal
court has officially denounced.
The will of the people. who have set.
tied and developed and madea valuable
possession Of Dakota, is made subservi.
ent to corrupt and money making
schemes, AID that by the very power to
which they look for protection.

The Mandan Pioneer casts ont a few
reflections like the following, which have
ON ominous sound coming from the
across-the.river neiehbor of the pre-.
tended capital:
The news also comes that the Bismarck
delegation has lost all hope that con-
gress will pass bill legalizing the com.
mission that removed the capital from
Yankton. Congress has wonderful
powers to absorb the contents of bar'ls,
and the Bismarck delegation cannot be
expected to provide bari big enough
to satisfy SO capacious NAV as that Of
congress. The outlook for our east Mis-.
souri, friends and neighbors is not of the
cheeriest character. II they have to
leave the capital question to the Dakota.
Yankton legislature to settle their goose
is cooked; At the same time, in the
event Of division on the 46th parallel,
north Dakota will be willing for Bis.
marck to have the capital.

Another Pilgrim to the Political Shrine.
George w. Walsh. of Grand Forks,
while on his way to Washington, was in.
terviewed by st. Paul Pioneer.Press
reporter.
In regard to the appointment of Mr..
Palmer as successor to Judge Kidder, he
emphatically considered it a good an.
pointment in every way. Mr. Palmer
was frst-class lawyer, and a man Of
unimpeachable character. As to his
having expressed opinions on Judge
Edgerton's decision, he was reserved
man; and he did not believe he ever had
expressed any opinion. At all events,
on the bench he would consider the case
as it came before him as a Judge, With
out predjuaice. As to the governorship.
he did net think Gov. Ordway would be
reappointed. In fact, that gentleman
had told him months ago that he would
not accept reappointment under any
circumstances. He believes that the
next governor of Dakota would be ex.
Congressman ]. G. Burrows of Michigan.
His appointment would be acceptable
to Dakotaians all round.
On the subject of admission he said he
was strongly in favor of seeing north
and south Dakota divided. The bill
before congress, giving constitutional
convention authority to pronounce
whether they desired admission as a
whole or as two states, was good one,
and he hoped it would pass. However,
he had made up his mind that if Dakota
was ever admitted it would have to 20 in
as Q whole. The territorial legislature will
meet in Bismarck in January next. He
had no doubt that bills would be passed
regulating the conduct of elevators and
providing for the efficient in.
spectlon Of the grading of grain.
Referring to the report that he
(Mr. WAlshl was a candidate for con.
Rressional delegate, he had simply to say
that he was not candidate and could
never be induced to become one under
any circumstances. His present visit to
Washington was on purely private bust.

and were mostly disputed possessions

A oeLuslon AND A SNARE.
The Proposition to Unite Dakota In one
Censtitutionsl Convention.


Constitutional Convention.
jamestown Alert.
The principal bone Of contention with
the Dakota delegations in Washington
is now the constitutional convention bill,
OF the "Ordvay bill" ss it has been.dub-
bed by its more radical opponents.
Upon its face this bill seems plausibly
fair and deferential to the variety Of
sentiment in the territory upon the
subjects of division and statehood, but
deeper down there will be seen almost
lnsurmountable obstacles in the way of
such q convention proceeding with any
other object in view than forming con-
stitutlon for a single state.
The idea Of . joint convention Of
the territories Of Dakota and Montana to
form constitution for each of those ter
rltories would not be more inconsistent
than the idea of the two sections of Da-
kota meeting in joint convention to form
q constitution for each. It is at variance
with the fundamental principles of self
government to have 9 constitution foisted
upon either by outside parties. Not.
withstanding the plausible faces of this
bill We take it that it means one consti-
tuition and one state or nothing, and is
the means Of carrying the idea through
that far in disguise.
But it will be urged by the advocates
OF this bill that it empowers the dele
gates to decide for themselves whether
they will form two constitutions OF one.
So it does. but it does not contemplate
their separation into two conventions
and each forming q constitution for it's
own territory, for some of the delegates
would represent people on both sides of
any line of division that might be de.
cided upon, and there would be no use
in putting the delegates in re-
mote parts of the territory to
the Inconvenience of assem-.
bling at point outside Of their own
boundaries to form q constitution for
themselves, even if q division should be
agreed upon. Where is the Justice or
good public policy of calling the dele
gates in the southern part of the territory
to Bismarck to form constitution for
south Dakota, or those of the northern
part to Yankton to form constitution
for north Dakota, if by any possible
construction this bill may contemplate
division and two constitutions? It is q
delusion and snare.

Huron Times: Bland Pardee was in
Huron Tuesday. He informed some of
our citizens that he did not think that the
Ordway univereitywould materialize. The
parties Who made the magnificent offer
for that town now CLAIM that they only
intended to advance the money as . loan.
Who can say but that the bland gentle.
man and his cLild.like partner foresaw
this result when they voted to locate .
school at Ordvay and thereby secured
voting strength for their own pet Mitch

It has been enormously stated that o
delegation OF Bismarckers is in Washing.
ton to oppose division of the territory.
They believe the question should be left
to the people themselves and asked Dele.
gate Raymond to introduce bill to that
end. 1t seems that south Dakota op.
posed this measure and Mr.. Raymond
sustained his reputation of having no
mind of his own.-Bismarck Tribune.
But the bill does not leave the ques.
tion to the people. It leaves it entirely
to convention and provides that the
convention can be easily packed in the
interest of the Bismarck schemers.
From its decision there would be no ap.
peal. Delegate Raymond was right in
refusing to introduce such bill.

1t is more than probable that the rul.
ing of Land Commissioner Mcfarland
prohibiting clerks of the court from TAX.
ing final proofs will be reversed. The
assumption that q probate court, under

while district court is not, is trifle too
vapory to stand and it is not to be sup.
posed that the legal department of the
government will sustain it.
