CONGRESSIONAL KNAVERY.

Congress is strangely inconsistent.
The senate committee has reported ia
vorably upon the bill to repeal the pre-
emption and timber culture laws and to
amend the homestead law. The CON-
mittee charges that there have been
gross frauds perpetrated under these
laws, which charge has repeatedly been
shown to be false. On the other hand
and here is where the committee ex-
hibits its inconsistency-a favorable re-
port Is made upon a bill providing for
the public sale of vast tracts of valuable
timber lands in California, Oregon and
Washington Territory. This bill is in
the interest of a monster timber ring
that has already obtained possession of
several million acres of Pacific coast
pine lands. 1t is a notorious fact that
the proposed repeal and amendment of
the land laws is backed up by the Min
nesota pine-land ring, who will be en-.
abied to grab all the timber in North
Minnesota if these laws are done away
with. Hence, the poor man is to be
deprived Of the privilege of obtaining O
home in order that q band of greedy
cormorants may extend the boundaries
Of their timbsred empires.

About this season on every avenue
and many streets of the city there ap-
pear painted signs indicating that fancy
costumes for mask balls are "made up
stairs" This shows the approach of
the French ball season. There are all
sorts of societies, organizations, "circles''
and lotteries that give an annual
fancy dress ball in different parts Of the
city, but there are five mask balls of
public note that attract annual atten-
ton. These are the Liederkranz and
Arion, German balls, and the Harmonic,
Amitie. and De rOpera, French balls.
The. Liederkranz and Arion are quite
decent and a person can openly attend
either, especially the Liederkranz, with
out losing his reputation for respecta-
bility. But the three French balls

HOW TO GET INTO The UNION.

The only solution Of the problem of
Dakota's admission, or division and ad
mission, appears to be in the adoption
of the course pursued by Kansas, Cali
fornia and Colorado. Those states came
into the Union first by holding a consti-
tutlonal convention and organizing a
state government, and second by apply
ing to congress for recognition. They
were admitted. The only difference be-
tween the cases Of the three states men,
toned and the situation in Dakota is
that the latter is divided, to all intents
and purposes, and if a convention is
called for n half the other half will
demand a convention also, each Sec
ton having the necessary population
emitting it to statehood. While we fully
recognize the important position Dako-
ia would occupy as one great state, yet
the political and commercial diversities
that would still remain between the
northern and southern portions would
demand division after admission as a
whole, and the prospect for securing
division then would be further from the
attainable than it now, if such a thing
were possible.
There is no hope of a Democrat ic
congress doing anything for Dakota or
any portion of it, and the only way now
open is for Dakota to "take the bull by
the HORNS" or "time by the forelock,' -
and do something for itself.
The legislature now in session should
call two constitutional conventions and
organize Two state governme nts, one to
be known AZ South Dakota and the other
as North Dakota, and next winter both
of the states should demand recognition
at Washington. Backed up by the
necessary population, by unparalleled
resources, by territorial areas as large as
three of the small Eastern States, and
by a wealth Of mines and soil unequalled
anywhere in ~Christendom, what man OF
set of men could refuse the demandl

NEW LAND DISTRICT,
The following telegram from Wash
ington will be of interest here:

The following telegram from Wash
ington will be of interest here:
The senate public lands committee has
amended the bill to establish a new land
district in the Turtle mountain country.
The bill provides that all the public lands
of Dakota north of the fourteenth stand
ard parallel and west of the ninth guide
meridian shall constitute Il now land dis
trict, to be called the Turtle Mountain
district, and the president is authorized
to appoint a register and receiver, who
shall be required to reside at the place ut
which the Office will be located. The
the Devils Lake district on the south to
the eleventh standard parallel.
This new land district scheme is
purely in the interest ola TOWNSHIP spec
ulation in Turtle mountain. 1t is pro-
posed to locat the Office of the new
district seventy-fve miles away from
any railroad now in operation or any
road likely to be in operation in the
next four. @ five years. We of Devils
Lake object to the scheme for two rea-
sons-frst, the new district takes in Just
enough Of the Devils Lake district to
leave the latter completely shorn of its
importance; and, second, the new
scheme does not wipe out the Devils
Lake district entirely. We should have
had more respect for the TOWNSHIP ma
nipulators had they includ ed all of this
district within the boundaries of the
new one, and loaded the land Office
building in this city on to half-breed
carts and moved it to the scene of their
corner lot enterprise at Turtle noun
tain.
The eastern line of the proposed new
district passes north and south through
the center of Towner county, about n
mile west of Cando, leaving the Devils
Lake district eighteen miles wide.
Hence, if the new district is established
the settlers in a large portion of the Big
coulee country must 60 to the Turtle
mountain, away from the railroad and
established markets, to do their land
business.
There is a strong lobby at work in the
interest Of the scheme, but we cannot
believe that the measure will become a
law when the facts IN the a are
brought to the light of day, as they must
be.
Commissioner Mcfarland strongly
opposes the bill. He says the Devils
Lake land Office can easily do the bust
ness Of northwestern Dakota. A WASH
ington correspondent says the bill covers
q multitude of sins.

New Years day passed in a sombre,
silent manner, and few carriages were
seen driving about the streets with
loads of giddy youths making calls, as
used to be the case in days gone by
The free lunch counters had more call
ers than did the tables laden with
tempting viands in dining rooms and
back parlors of people in society. Con-
sequently there was no falling off in the
number Of men and boys wandering
aimlessly but noisily about the streets
from sunset till the small hours of the
morning. The same rollicking songs
that seem sweet music to the singers,
but are sounds of torture to sober peo-
pie, were heard through the night as in
years past. There are said to he the
usual number of headaches resulting
from the long walks from place to place
and from the mental strain of meeting
so many differentpeople on New Years
day.
Yet, as was predicted in my last let
ter, there was plenty of quiet, unobtru-
sive calling upon friends and more in.
innate acquaintance. Young men,
middle aged and old men went out late
in the afternoon and made from half a
dozen to a score of visits and then went
quietly home and feel better this week
than do their more risky friends who
made the rounds Of the lunch counters.
