DAKOTA,s ADMISSION.

Dakota has population of about 400, 900,
as was shown by the late census. In a terri
tory which is so notorious for its scarcity of
women. it is safe to assume that of the
total population fully one-third are male
adults and voters. According to this basis
there ought to be somewhere between
100, 900 and $50. 900 voters in the territory.
And yet at the election held last Tuesday
only about 20, 900 votes were cast. And if
it had not been that little local interest
was manifested in the election of county
commissioners. the probabilities are that the
vote would have been lighter by one-half
than it was. The meaning of all this is
that the mass of the people who
reside III the territory had no in
terest i'll OF sympathy for the move
ment which has been organized to divide
and gain admission for the territory as two
separate states. When the people Of the
territory show such remarkable Indifference
to the scheme the projectors of the movement
need not expect outsiders to be agitated to
any considerable extent in relation to the
matter.
But whatever may be the disposition of
the people of Dakota in reference to the
question of admission the federal govern
ment has duty to perform in respect to its
own interests in the matter. and the prob
abilities are that congress will take up
the question of admission, whether an APP
plicaton be made OF not and will pass an
enabling act whereby the people of the ter
ritOry will be required to take the
proper initial steps preparatory to being in
vested with the rights of statehood. When
the territory of Dakota was carved out by
the general government it was done so with
the expectation that it would become state
in due time. That the rapid growth and
development of the territory within the last
decade have brought about realization of
this expectation sooner than was originally
anticipated will be no argument with con-
greSs in favor of division or dismember-
ment of the territory. The territory was
laid out with the expectation of making
large state of it some day. 1t does not
begin to compare in area with Texas, and
vet there is no probability that Texas will
ever be divided into two or more states.
When the territorial lines of Dakota were
fixed it seemed to congress to be in accord
ance with the fitness of things and necessary
to proper adjustment of the nations geo.
graphical boundaries as well as preserva
ton of the proper equilibrium of its COM
merciaI interests that in time the imperial
Northwest should have state to balance
the empire state of the Southwest. Thus
it is that Dakota is to be the Texas of
this golden northwest section of the Union.
In a matter of such grave Importance as
the admission of state into the Federal
Union congress cannot narrow its course or
limit its consideration of the subject to
partisan view or as to what effect
it will have upon local interests. 1t must
be controlled by broad. catholic, national
spirit, andlook to the future as well as to the
present 1t is a lamentable fact that in
some instances congress- nermitted itself tn

Rates Restored at watertown.

A private dispatch was received in St.
Paul yesterday from Chicago, stating that
agents of the Chicago & Northwestern, the
Minneapolis & st. Louis and Burlington,
Cedar Rapids & Northern roads had met
and agreed to restore grain rates at Water
town, OAK, and cease hostilities. For the
past two or three weeks a rate war has
been INDUCED in from this point, which
has been ruinous to all the lines participant
ing, and during the time it has been car
ried on most OF the wheat from that dis
trict has been marketed in Chicago at
very large profit to the shippers. The rate
on wheat from Watertown to Chicago is SO
cents per 100 pounds, but in a few days
after the war broke out, shipments were
taken at 25 and 90 cents. and just before
the agreement was signed to restore rates,
all the roads were carrying wheat to Chi
cago at Is cents per 100 pounds, cut of
Is cents. Peace was brought about by
the Milwaukee & ST. Paul company, which
Informed the competing lines that unless
rates were restored it would enter the fight
by reducing its rate to Is cents to Chicago
from Milbank and other points close by.
While the rate was Is cents from Water
town and the Milwaukee & st. Paul,
was maintaining tariff from Mlbank, thirty
miles distant, farmers hauled their wheat
to Watertown away from the Milwaukee
81 st. Paul road. Rates were restored

be governed by baser motives and as
racuIt tha oountrv hoe been having tbe nan

be governed by baser motives, and as a
result the country has been paying the pen
atty of its folly ever since. The time for
that has passed, however, and under the in
spiraton of the reform spirit which now
prevails in all departments of the govern
ment, it is hardly possible that such con-
tracted policy will ever again be adopted.
The question of whether the Republican
party or the Democratic party is to be bene-
fitted by the admission Of Dakota has moth
ing to do with congressional action in the
matter. Nor can congress afford to
base its action in the matter upon
whether this or that town is to
be made the capital of the new state, or
whether this or that syndicate of land
spectators is to make a fortune out of it.
1t is true there may come time when In
the clash of sectional interests, which every
day are more and more assuming distinct
shape between the manufacturers of the
East and the farmers OF the West. it would
be decided local advantage that Dakota
should have four representatives in the SEN
ate instead of two. Then again it may occur,
as it has done here in Minnesota, where
the states representatives in the national
congress were more the champions of New
England's interests than they were
of those of the Northwest. Then
it may be a local advantage to
have the states representation fixed
at the lowest limit. Under such conditions
as Minnesota has experienced to its sorrow
more than once, the people of Dakota may
realize that it is better for their interests to
have only two senators instead of four. But
all these local questions are foreign to
consideration of the subject when it is to
come before congress. The fact that con-
gress will have to consider is that the ter
ritory of Dakota, as it was originally
carved has assumed the proportions
which entitle it to statehood. In view of
this fact the plain constitutional duty of
congress is to pass an act requiring the peo-
pie Of the territory to frame constitution
and state government republican in form
and then walk into the Union through the
door which will be opened by congressional
enactment.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The managers of the
principal lines east and west of the Mis-
souri, river were in session to-day at Com
missioner Midgleys Office to consider the
much-vexed question of carload and less
than carload rates. The question was
first discussed as to whether a close
session should be held. or whether
hearing should be given to several delega-
tons. Some opposition to the latter was
developed, but it was finally agreed to
allow six of each faction to present their
arguments. and they were so informed.
Accordingly, at the morning session, Messrs.
Franklin McVeagh of Chicago, Mr.. Firth,
and Dwight Treadway OF st. Louis APP
peared for and Messrs. Nave OF Kansas
city, George of Cedar Rapids and Dean OF
st. Paul, against Each occupied about
twenty minutes and at the con-
clusion of the talk an adjourn
ment was had until 2:30 p. m.
Upon reassemblng it was decided that no
further arguments should be heard, and
half-hour was given to general interchange
of views, after which the following resolu-
ton was adopted without opposition or a
dissenting voice:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the meet
ing that it would not be advisable to change
the principle of making difference in the
rates on carloads and less quantities, as ap-
piled to shipments of merchandise, but

what Does it Mean

Anoka Union: Yesterday morning party
of eight surveyors arrived at the depot on
the $50 Northern Pacific train, with large
amount of baggage, and at once secured
teams to convey them to their destination.
Repeated inquiries to ascertain their bust
ness here were met with evasive answers
and misleading remarks. From reliable
source we learn they were in the employ of
the Minnesota & Northwestern railroad, and
that they went to spot about eight miles
southeast of Anoka. One of the party is
reported to have said, upon being asked
what they were doing?" ''can't tell, but
there are some parties who would give
many dollars to know" The Union wouldn't
be surprised if this company was looking
out for route from ST. Paul to Dakota,
taking in our prosperous city. Develop
ments will be awaited with interest.

some commodities in classification as to car
loads or less than carloads, they be placed
on fair and equitable basis; that the gem

Have Another scheme.

Now that the Northern Pacific double
deck cars have been shut out from Chicago,
it has prepared scheme whereby it will be
enabled to ship the forty double-deck cars
of sheep contracted for one party, and
which will be along shortly. This was
given as pointer by Northern Pacific Of
ticials. What the scheme is they will not
divulge until it is completed, but they stated
that the sheep would be taken to Chicago
without the earnings going into the North
western Traffic association. If the scheme
works successfully probably the remainder
of the sheep in Montana will be carried this
way to the Chicago market.
