Points About Dakota.

First it was Sphinx, then it was Roberts,
and now it is Potter county with county
seat fight. But why these local troubles
are brought into view as questions OF ma
tional prominence is more than the aver
age Dakotatian understands. These gen
tlemen who are bitterly and intensely an
ti-Dakota are evidently satisfied with pro-
ducing inferior argument.
1t is probable that the members of the
democratic territorial committee will 60 to
Washington in body, by special car, to
urge legislation in the interest OF Dakota.
Captain Dan Maratta has been made chair
man Of the Washington party. lie has
had much experience at the National cap
ital, and enjoys an extensive congressional
acquaintance.
Mark Ward has received such substan-
tial support in his candidacy for speaker
ship of the next house that predictions IN
regard to his ultimate success are pretty
we'll grounded. And after looking over
the field and considering the qualifications
of Mark there is no reason to suggest why
his selection could not be bettered.
Inter Ocean: As the case now stands
there is not township in Dakota where
Senator Vest and his followers would be
allowed to shoot snipe.
In the senate Friday bill was introduc-
ed to establish in Dakota an additional
and district, the outlines OF which are not
defined by telegraph.
The Dakota territorial association Of
county commissioners is called to meet at
Bismarck January d.
Pierre, the city of conventions, had a
disastrous fire last Monday night.

A Happy New Year.

The Yankton Press contains figures on
returns of the territorial canvassing board
and they comprise the first authentic state
ment given the public upon the result OF
the congressional election. The entire
number of votes cast was sc, 764, of which
O. S. Clifford, republican, received II, ,579'
John R. Wilson, democrat, 1924 and
sixty-one scattering. Mr. Gifford's plu-
rality is Sc, 455 and his majority 1894.
OF the two sections, northern Dakota cast
81, 353 and southern Dakota cast 54, All.
Upon the basis of four and seventy-elght
hundredths population to each voter the
north contains l54, 657 and the south 26O,-
Os4, total population of Ala, 73l. In
formation from various points in the ter
ritory enables us to reach the very conser-
vative estimate that eight-fve per cent.
of the full vote of Dakota was cast at the
November election. The non-voters are
democrats, who knew their cause to be a
hopeless one and as consequence did
not take the trouble to 60 to the polls.
The population estimate on tull vote
would stand, in round numbers: South
ern Dakota, 3O6, 200; northern Dakota,
1877 900; total $4,000. The figures al
most confirm our claim to a half million
people in all of Dakota. Northern nako,
ia has more than enough population te
entitle it to one representative and south
ern Dakota has enough to entitle it two
representatives in congress.

The Scotland Citizen, one of the lead
ing democratic papers of Dakota, has the
following to say on the admission issue:
The bill for the division Of Dakota and
the admission of the southern half passed
the United States senate on Tuesday, and
now goes to the house for its action. We
regret the action OF the democratic sena-
tors in opposing this meritorious measure
The population and wealth of Southern
Dakota entities it to statehood, and there
is no valid reason to justify the denial O
this right. We hope the democrats il
the house will support the bill, even if it
passage does place two more republican,
in the United States senate.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Charles Warner and Cyrus Nc lelland
Struck by a Big Four Train and
Barely Escape Death-The
Latter Internally
Injured.

Charles Warner, a travelling man, and
Cyrus McClelland, a timer, narrowly es-
capped death at the Fifth street crossing OF
the l., st. L. and G. Road, shortly before 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. They were
riding in a light spring wagon, behind q
spirited horse, and when they reached the
crossing the Big -Four mail due here at
$3.50 p. m. was approaching rapidly from the
north, Warner whipped up the horse expect
ingto get cross before the train arrived,
and they would have succeeded had
it rot been that the animal became
frightened and stopped directly on the
track and began pfa1cing about, refusing
either to back or go for ward. The engineer
realized the danger that the two men were
in, but was too close to stop his train, aud
the engine struck the frail wagon with ire
mendous force, smashing it into splinters
and instantly killing the horse. The two &C
cupants were thrown to one side of the
track, and when persons near By hurried TO
the scene they found that McClelland had
received q bad cut in the back of
the head, from which blood was
flowing freely, while Warner was
but slightly bruised about the body and
face. Both men were picked up and re
moved to their homes in Flanner & HON
mown's ambulance, where they received
medical attention. Both reside on Wess
Market street. Warner at 321 and McClellsnd
at 3l5. McClellsnd, who has just recovered
from a serious illness, complained last night

INTERNAL REVENUE COLLEC.
TORS

The appointment Of internal revenue
collectors affords an interesting indication
Of the policy to be pursued in making
changes in that service. 1t is understood
that Commissioner Milier's policy has
the full support of the President. The
removals are made without the prefer
ment of charges on the claim that the
service will be benefited by the changes.
The best collectors will not be disturbed.
but those lacking special fitness or up-
usual activity will be succeeded where it
is believed that the efficiency of the
service will not be impaired. A politician
in speaking of this subject to day said:
"Commissoner Miller will not make any
mistakes He is a good judge of men
and a shrewd politician. Where he
makes changes he will get as good COL
lectors and better Democrats" 1t is said
that the internal revenue collectors for
Maine and Connecticut were displaced
because they had been in the service
since 1859, and it was advisable to pro-
cure younger men.

Game Laos.

Eleven game laws were passed by the
legislature during its last session, and
three of the number were vetoed by the
governor. Many Of those that became
laws after publication only affect special
districts and do not apply to the whole
state. Substantially there are no changes
in the laws regulating the periods be-
tween which the various kinds of fish
and other game may be killed. The
general laws now governing this impor-
tant matter make the open seasons as
follows: Black bass and wall-eyed pike,
May 20 Feb. |; brook trout, April Is
to Aug. %; woodcock, July 10 to Jan
