The Senatorial auestIon

Letcher Blade: The recently elected
state legislature will meet at Huron,
Dec. l4th, to elect two United States
senators. This always responsible and
far-reaching aot and it can hardly be per-
formed at any time under too great a
sense of its gravity, for senators are
elected to represent a state in the high
est national council for six years. But
in the present case the responsibility
ls unusually grave, for the men chosen
will not not only be charged with those
duties usually incumbent upon sena-
tors, but they will have to help fight
our way into the union, and upon
the choice of senators will largely
depend the question of admission.
We cannot afford to make any mis-
takes in that selection. No man should
be supported for that position who is
not acknowledged to possess pre-eminent
qualifications and who has not in the
past shown his devotion to division and
admission by faithful service to the
cause.
To our mind there are just two men in
the state conspicuous for these qualifica-
tione, to whom the public eye will IN
stlnctlvely turn-Judge u. y. Moody, OF
the Black Hills, and Gen. Hugh j.
Campbell, OF Yankton. They are both
men of powerful Intellects, of ripe
years, untirIng energy, fear
less and irrepressible determlna-
ton. Each has an honorable and spot
less public record, and both have con-
seorated their gient inteliects to this
cause for years. With two such senator's
as Moody and Campbell, and two such
representatives as Clifford and Kanouse,
no man can say the people of Dakota
are incapable of self government, and
no respectable party will dare face these
men under the national eye and main.
tain for partisan reasons or any other,
that 100000 people who have been
capable OF framing such constitution
as curs and selecting such men as these
to represent us, shall longer be denied
| their rights.

Cinnamon were frugal, and soon saved

that they could buy of the Chinaman

man, and soon began to deal with him,
until now the thrifty celestlals are the
most prosperous people on the coast, as
class. They are rapidly developing
from menial service to prosperous
condition. Although they are aliens,
and always will be, they take advantage
of the white mans wants, albeit those
wants may be the result of his own
extravaganza, and the phenomenal con-
dltion of an alien people owning the

And the most exalted ambition of the

driven honest American labor to the
wall, but they are lmpoverishing all

who had cried 'peace" when the cheap
labor feature of the subject was under
discussion, had suddenly developed into
the bittelest opponents OF the Chinese.
And he explained their change OF heart
by citing conspicuous instance, detail
ing the case of Chinaman who had
approached friend of his, and calling
attention to new suit which he had
donned, said: "You pay Mclean maker

Considerable has been INDUCED in, by
persons and papers busily searching for
notes in the eyes of republican Office
holders, relative to the official career of
ex-Receiver Lowry, of the Huron land
office. All these random charges have
been dlsproved and the Huron Times
now says of the retiring receiver.
Last Monday morning Hon. Robert
Lowry surrendered the receivers office
in the United States land office to his
successor, Hon. e. w. Miller. During
the three and a half years that he has
held this very responsible position he
has handled three millions of dollars
belonging to the government, and not q
dollar OF it has gone astry. ALI the
funds that have been entrusted to him
have been scrupulously accounted for,
and his retirement adds another one to
the long list of republican officials who
have quietly relinquished their offices
and left not stain on their record.
This is at Mr. Lowry's friends predicted
when he came to Dakota; for his record
of his past thirty years in Iowa was that
OF man of the strietest integrity, whom
it was impossible to swerve from the
path of probity.
The government loses faithful officer
by Mr.. Lowry's suspension: but he can
carry into his retirement the stisfaction
of honorably serving his country when
honored by this preferment Every hon.
orable citizen will wish him peace and
prosperity in all his fnture undertak.

RAILROAD MOVEMENTS.
The Maple Valley Line and the De-
Hance Line.

The Maple Valley Line and the De-
fiance Line.
Onawa Gazette, 10: There is virtually
no news concerning the proposed ex-
tension of the Northwestern line from
Mapleton to this place. The surveyors
run the line to this place, striking the
Sioux City and Pacific at point about
opposite the door of the depot office.
The party then divided up and proceed
ed to take o series of levels OF the bot
tom, evidently tor the purpose of de-
termIning the height the grade should
be built TO be above the overhows, and
the en4lneer.in- returned to Chi
Cago. This ls ali that is known concern
Ing the Location of the line beyu what
has already been published, save that
the distance to this point from the
point where the survey was
commenced is twenty and
ore-balf miles. AS to the build
ing OF the line, it is oil conjecture. Some
contend that tho line is sure to be push
ed through next season, for the purpose
of shortening the line to Sioux Olty and
opening up a new territory for trade that
is naturally tributary thereto. Others
reason that every pound of freight in
this territory is naturally trlbuted to
the Northwestern lines, and cannot
escape them if it would, and it is there
fore useless for the company to fill this
gap and be at not only the expense of
the cost of construction, but the increas-
ed expense of operating expenses and
interest, without thereby increasing
their revenue. Those that pursue this
line of reasoning accounts for the pres
ent survey by saying that it iH done to
put them on all equal footing with the
Milwaukee that run an elaborate
system of surveys through the county
last summer, 30 that whenever the Mil
waukee commences to throw dirt on Its
Defiance and Sioux City line that it can
also commence work in the Maple valley
without being obliged to lose valuable
time in waiting for line to be located.
Those who take the position first stated
answer this by saying that it is evidently
only question of time when the De
fance line will be built and that the
Northwestern might Just as we'll fill in
this gap now as to wait year or two
and then construct it, being compelled
meanwhile to keep sharp eye on their
Milwaukee rival lest it should by STRAIT
egy steal away some of their territory.
Again, others contend that the line
will be built not only to Onawa, but will
cross the Missouri and tap the Elkhorn
line in the vicinity of Wisner SO here
you have the various theories that are
most generally advocated, and can pick
out the one that suits you the best or in
vent one that is more perfectly in accord
with your fancy. From the fact that the
company has recently refused to lease
even for short time, warehouse lots on
the east side of the track, where the
junction will probably be made, it is
evident that they are either intending to
build at an early day or else keeping the
coast clear ready for any emergency
they may be called to meet.
