Constitutional Convention.

In speaking of the constitutional con-
vention 10 be held ut Sioux Falls as TO
what may be accomplished and our
rights, the Yankton Telegram says:
First the right Of local self govern
ment belongs TO us as American citi-
Zens:
Second, the right Of admission as a
state is guaranteed to us when we pos
sess the requisite population, adopt a
proper constitution, elect a state govern
ment and claim our right to admission.
II congress shah then deny us admission
as state, congress will then violate not
only treaty obligations and rights, but
the very fundamental principles of re-
publican government-the right of local
self government. thus presenting TO con-
gress the alternative, either to ignore
our lawful rights to state government,
or to admit us as a state
When this is done admission will be
an accomplished fact. No congress
dares before the eyes Of American peo
pie, to dispoil us of our rights as Ameri-
can citizens, and then place the heel of
simple despotic power upon the necks
Of the people Of this great territory. 1t
is time that the senseless talk should
cease about this movement being in the
interest Of ambitious politicians, and the
question involved be discussed upon
broader grounds. 1t is thought by some
that the Sioux Falls constitutional con-
vention did not accomplish the good it
might have done, because the move
ment was not carried to its legitimate
and logical conclusion and the adoption
of full and complete state government.
With a constitution republican in form,
with full state organization, with
statistics compiled under the authority
of law with sworn officers, showing the
wealth Of the territory, and census re-
turns showing population Of nearly
half million in Sonth Dakota alone
will democratic congress dare to refuse
us admission solely on political grounds?
The democratic party could never justi-
fy such an act, and the leaders of that
party will never commit so stupendous
blunder: 1t only remains to be seen
whether the people Of Dakota have the
courage and steadiness of purpose to
demand their rights as American citi-
zens."
To all Of which the Signal, demo
cratic paper, most heartily says amen.
and urges the democracy of Dakota to
come to the front, elect democratic dele
gates, show our strength and send Bart.
lett Tripp to the United States senate
Pierre Signal.

Sensible.

"Aureius" hands us a lengthy com
munication regarding mining and min
ing schemes from which We have ex,
plunged some things of a visionary char
acter, and print that which is to the
point:
MEssRs. EDTTeRs 1T does seem to ne
very strange that situated as we are in
the centre Of one Of the richest mining
districts in the United States. that bust
ness of all kinds should be in the con
dition that it is at present. We are all,
as it were, waiting for something to turn
up, or some one to come in TO buy our
mines and to make everything move
along prosperously. Now then, without
waiting longer to have some one turn
up anything for us why can we not 90
to work ourselves and turn it up and
make business come to us, by a little
organized effort it can be done, and il
we pull together we can accomplish
wonders. Gen. Grant, in one of his
greatest emergencies advised one Of his
aids in order to succeed i'm his battles
to push things" and think the ad-
vice then given will be very suitable
now to all Of our citizens i'm this county
let us push things and you will soon see
a different state of affairs. A business
man in any city Of the Union who is
successful in his business does not sit
on his empty boxes in front Of his store
and whittle pine chips and wait for
buyers to come along, but he goes to
work inside Of the store and shows up
his goods in his best style and adveriises
them, and the result is success.
We are in the condition Of the
whittier and should 60 to work, show
up our stock in trade-our mines-ad-
vertise them and when that is done
there are plenty Of capitalists who will
gladly come in and purchase our mines
at good prices, and in doing this open
up all branches Of business that are
directly and indirectly connected with
uiiiCo anu piniHk. 4>OW lily dutlSc
would &c about like this: We know
here that we have got good prospects.
We can get gold and tin and other
metals out Of ore on the surface Of q
great many claims, but also know that
we have but mighty few mines-mines
in every sense of the word-what il
needed Of course is capital to develop
these mines. but in order to even get a
capitalist to look at prospect YOU must
first convince him that the metal il in
the ore and that there is a body Of it, a
little gopher hole on the lode will not
do 1t. Certainly every miner in the
district can raise enough grub to last
him while he is sinking 10 or 20 foot
hole down to show up the thickness and
value of his ore. aud whether it is likely
to be a mine when properly or more ex.
tensively worked.

Mercury is more destructive to hui
man health and life than war, pestl-
lence or famine combined. So said q
distinguished writer many years ago,
and It Is as true to-day as il was then.
The poor victim of Blood Disease is
drugged with Mercury to cure the
malady, and then dOsed with IOdides
10 cure him ofthe Mercury Poisoning;
but instead Of any relief the first
breaks down his general health and
makes him q cripple, and the other
ruins his digestive organs Mercury
and Potash are dangerous even when
administered by directions and under
the eye Of a good physician, and when
put up In nOstrums, often by incOm-
petent persons, are apt TO produce evil
consequences. BE careful Of these
poisonous mixtures or you will re-
greet it. Swift's Specific is entirely =
vegetable preparation, and should not
be cOnfOuuded with the various imita-
tIOus, non secret humbugs, "Suecus
Alterans. etc, all Of which either con-
tain Mercury aud Potash, or are COM
posed OF old remedies which have
long since been discarded As of no
value In the treatment Of Blood Dis
eases, and none OF them contain a
single article which enters into the
composition Of swift's Specific. There
lie only one Swift's Specific rs. s. S.
and there lie nothing In the world like
1t. Be sure to get the genuine.

they declared that the most impor-
tant possession they had was tue
Pearl Of Purity. The question then
aruse who should have this in Charge
and the Eagles solemnlY decided that
the Doves should. For" said they,

IL, or our whole Social Fabric will

they gave 10 each Dove q Pearl, and
told her that she must guard il Sa-
credly, or the most terrible Of disas-
tiers would OveFWhelm her. But after
this, instead Of helping the Doves to
Keep the Pearls, many Eagles
began stTalghtWay 70 beseeeh some
psetty Dove to throw hers away,
using every Art and sometimes even
their Superior Strength 10 persuade
her 30 her ruin. Then, when In con-
