THE FARMERS PUZZLE.

The plan of acting in conjunction with
the Minnesota legislature IN making laws
to regulate wheat transportation and
grading, as is proposed by several mem
bers Of the territorial legislature who
have given the subject much study and
Investigation, recommends itself as the
most practical one of reaching and rem.
edyiny the grievances of the farmers. A
law of the territory on the subject, stand
ing alone, would effect little more than
an ordinance of the city council on the
subject. The main producing Point is in
Dakota and the market In Minnesota.
The grievance, IN general terms, is in
cost and lack of facilities in transporta-
tion and unjust grading. The want Of
facilities or privileges in shipment is at
the point of production, the unjust grade
at the market and the excessive cost Of
transportation claimed is all along the
line. The transpo :tatlon to the east
boundary OF the territory is only a small
portion Of the distance to The market and
our legislature could not 60 beyond tho
limits OF the territory in fixing rates Of
transportation norm the matter Of grades,
80 that these two questions, which arc
the MAN questions, are virtually beyond
their reach. Nearly the Whole relief that
Dakota farmers can reasonably hope for
on these points must come from the Min

THE SPRING BOOM.

The sale Of the James River Valley
railroad bed and franchise to company
of practical railroad bnilders, which "a
authenticated by the buyers In an inter.
view with the st. Paul Globe, will be .
source of great delight to the people Of
the upper James River valley, and espec-
tally to the farmers, merchants and other
shippers as it will open competitive
line for carrying out and bringing in
freight This will do more towards re-
lievlng the expressions and extortions
complained OF by the farmers than vol.
ume Of legislation on the subject. James
town will be the northern terminus, and
as the roa! VII connect the four trunk
lines coming northwest from Chicago It
will be very important one. .-..
The completion of this road will give
new and substantial boom to jamestown
and all the country tributary to it as well
as 10 the country south for many miles
along and either side Of the line of the
road down the James River Valley. The
assurance that the road will be built tile
coming season will bring capital 70
jamestown, and will open large scope
of agricultural lands to cultivation that
would otherwise for the want of convel-
lent Shipping point remain unbrohen and
for years to come.
Another important feature of this road
will be the establishment of commeree
between the northern and southern pd-
tions OF the territory which have heretp.
fore been almost as foreign countries 10
each other, and much of the contention
and bitterness between the two sections
is due to the want of commercial reh-
tons. No matter whether we rem ain Jas
one territory or two, or be one state or
two, commercial relations between lhe
two sections, territories or states wllgbe
none the less essential and important.

THE rumor is current, however much
or little truth there may be in it, that a
large corruption fuLd is in the "third

red thousand dollars, hut as the custodi.
aus Of the fund have not published any
official report the amount IA indefinite
and may not exceed the board bills and
''inciCientaI' expenses Of the members of
that unofficial but influential adjunct of
the legislature. The real or imaginary
presence Of this fund is menace to the
reputation of every member, far the po-
sition he may take or the vote he may
cast upon any given measure will be ac-
counted for by his opponents as u "sell

The total vote Is s6,764, there heing 6l

The bass OF estiG ating population
from tho voters Is five persons for every
vote cast, and is approximately correct.
Perhaps greater proportion OF the W.
ters in this territory neglected TO vote at
the recent election than in any state, for
three sufficient reasons. One was that
the people do not take a. much interest
IN elections as they do in the states where
there are many important of'icers to elect,
hence are correspondiugly indifferent
abont voting. Another is the country is
sparsely se' tied md IN many iastances
the voter would have TO travel long
distance to reach his polling place, and
on that account he waves his right to
vote. Still another IN the late election

TlIE Alert would suggest to eastern
papers that what they vulgarly term
Dakota county seat mobs' are deputa-
tlons of gentlemen from the contcsting
town requesting the transfer Of tho coun.
~ records. The advantage in enphony
gof this way Of expressing II ought to com
mend itself 10 the most uncultivated and
obtnse editor, and it. may be proper TO re-
mark that those who persist IN snch vnl-
gar expressions as "DakOta county seat
mobs' would be called boors IN this
country and would be excluded from So
ciety. 1t is painful to the Alert to see
such incorr;glble coarseness and vulgarity
exhibited in the writings of eastern edit
0rs and it is alone for their good name
and reputation that we feel called npon
to administer this gentle rebuke. We
hope this Will be sufficient 10 reform the
aouse of the Kings English referred to
without resorting to the harsher means Of
reprimand.

IT'S apparent that congress docs not
intend to do much the present session.
The republican membcra are somewhat
indisposed from the effects of The late
presidential campaign and the democrats
are hampcred by the uncertainty cf tho
line Of policy which will De pursued BY
the president they have elected. Il is
net probable that either honse will pass
any measure OF political significance
without a tac.t unders tanding that It will
be defeated In the other. The last session
of congress is very much like the last
days OF school, sort OF play spell too late
to begin anything new and NO taste for
finishing up the old.

( BEECHER must be convinced by this
time that the way Of The democrat IS
hard. All his attempts at justification Of
his course in the last campaign seem to
avail nothing with those who differed
with him. Ia vain does he remind them
that he always spoke his political senti.
ments during the war and since, but
meyer before did the members of his
congregation who differed with him
persist in calling up the ghost afterwards
H. il evident that the Blaine faction Of
his congregation have got their mad up
to stay. If Blaine had been elected they
probably would have forgiven and for
gotten the detection Of their pastor, but
with the sting OF defeat ever present with
them they can neither forget nor forgive
Bcecher would doubtless be glad of a
mission TO the court Of st. James under
the Cleveland administration or even to
the Fiji Islands, anything or anywhere
to get away from the skeleton Of the late
campaign.

The house has refused to set a day for
the consideration of a national bankrupt
law, which virtually lays that measure
out Of reach of the present session. A
just and proper bankrupt law is demand
cd, but the abuses of the former law
which expired a few years ago were so
many aud great that much prejudice
will have to be overcome to enact anoth-
er. The exOrbltant fees of the register

nothing for either the bankrupt or his
creditors, and the debtor could better af
ford to save his exemption and let the

tion than to voluntarily avail himself Of

THE DIVISION QUESTION.

The people Of this territory may talk
and write about division and admission,
and admission rs Il whole, as a pastimc
tie same as l0alers discuss the latest town
scand. as they congregate abont the
corner grocery store, but there is no more
probability for either or any OF those
measures receiving the sanction Of the
present house Of representatives than
there was OF the world coming TO an end
as foretold by some cranks who pretend
ed TO be endowed with mystical lore.
Suppose we let up on the division and
admission question and discuss some live
questions such as the end Of the world or
the coming Of the millennium? II we
could convince eastern people that Da-
kOta would escape the crash when the
world comes to an end or that the proph.
ecies all point to this territory as the
place where the miliennlsl reign will first
commence II would mdnce more linmi

TO he under territorial government. In
some respects it Is really NICE condition.
To have our territorial officers, judges
and members Of the legislature uraw
their salaries ont Of the treasury of the
United States instead OF from our pock-
cts Is a condition Of things which we
ought to be able to contemplate with sub
missiye forlitude ii not with actual CON-
! placency. 1t seems to the Alert that We
ought TO be able to stand this as long as
the government can. 1t would be a very
nice thing to have the privilege Of voting
for and electiug our governor and other
state officers hut when coupled with the
condition that We pay their salaries the
cash price of the privilege becomes an
item worth considering. 1t is much
cheaper to kick when non residents are
appointed over us in these positions. We
are living Of the fat of Uncle Sans
treasury to large extent, and as long as
he doesn't kick why should We? We can
haye just as good laws, raise as much
whe at, have rs much fun, live as well
and die as happy as if we were state.
