A democratic member of the Black
Hills volunteer delegation now in Wash.
ington, Barney Caul6eld. is quoted as
saying that there is no hope for the ad-
mission Of south Dakota at this session
of congress. Barney has conversed with
other democrats and perhaps has become
imbued with their antipathy to the ere.
alton of another republican state. At
any rate it is incumbent upon the state
executive committee to make the effort to
secure admission under the Sioux Falls
constitution and that committee will
perform its duty. The bill for admission
was to have been introduced on the 18th
inst, by Delegate Raymond in the house
and by some good friend of Dakota in
the senate. The bill is accompanied by
a certified copy Of the constitution and
the official canvass of the vote by which
it was ratified. The proposition is now
fairly before congress and If that body
denies statehood to the south half OF
Dakota it will do it purely upon politi.
cal grounds. The would.be state has
complied with all the requirements.

Statehood and Dtvlsion

Pierre Signal: Statehood and division
in Dakota are most significant terms.
They mean what? That Dakota ia a vast
territory four hundred miles long, three
hundred and fifty miles wide and con-
tains over 96.O00.O00 acres Of land; that
she has population approximating
four hundred thousand which is nearly
equally divided by the 46th parallel of
latitude; it means that the interests of
the people of the territory would be en-
hanced BY the division OF the territory,
and that each half would then have
population sufficient to entitle them to
the rights of statehood. Divide Dakota
on the 46th parallel of latitude and either
north or south Dakota will have popu-
latlon larger than many of our states bad
at the time they were admitted.
The great trouble with territorial gov.
eminent is. that it is too primitive. It
fulfilled the requirements of thirty years
ago and might yet be practicable for
some years to come in Alaska or the In
dian territory, but Dakota ought not
be harrassed with such antiquities. Our
people are progressive aud, We believe.
civilized. They were born and raised
in the east under benign
and liberal municipality, where
they were accustomed to have some
voice in saying who should WELD the
sceptre of state. But how different the
change when they get here. How be
iittleing to think that We must sit with
folded hands and bow in suppliance to
whoever the authorities at Wash
ington see ft to send to our
capitol chambers. How strange it seems
to be living in o country where every
thing is free but the right OF suffrage.
Territorial government! Bah! With such
relics in Dakota where people are at
tracing the world with marvellous pro-
gress and development! We might bet
ter go to the garret aud bring forth the
antiqnated loom, covered with the dust
of halt century. or revert to the candle
dip tor oul luminary than to endure
much louger the pristine influence of ,ur
territorial system. Four hundred
thousand active people of Dakota are
clamoriDg tor division und admission and
the right OF suffrage which belongs to
an American people.

There are hopeful indications from
Washington, upon the subject Of the divi-
sion Of Dakota into two territories. In this
We have something to be thankful for.
With the territory once cut in. twain the
danger of the admission of one bulky,
state is done away with and
the admission Of the two halves will be
accomplished as the next progressive
step. 1t is said that the Bismarckians
have about abandoned their
scheme for constitutional
convention for the whole of Da.
kota and are falling into line with the
rest OF northern Dakota for division. It
is difficult for . delegation which year
ago was in Washington urging division
to explain why they are now opposed to
division, and the question ls frequently
asked them there in Washington. They
do not like to tell the whole truth and
say they are doing the bidding Of Ord.
way. Their silence, therefore tangles
them up in the mesh of Inconsistencies
and their only way out ,s to abandon
the whole scheme and stand in with the
majority for division.

to report what further action. if any, the
