THE SAME OLD GANG.

The Grand Folks Plaindealer, in \
characteristic argument against the
proposition to ascertain the sentiment
of North Dakota relative to division,
cites the fact that sit wa about four
yeara ago that somes such q convention
was held and delegates sent down to
Washington to work for division, and
it did not amount to anything" The
Plaindealer neglects to mention the adj
tional fact that the delegates who took it
upon themselves to represent Dakota on
that Occasion we're the worst lot Of bum
boat politicians and poker playing black
guards that ever disgraced the national
capital by their presence. A prominent
member Of the present congress told the
INTER OCEAN last summer that a more
dissolute gang Of staggering, swearing.
whiskey-sucking dead beats never came
into the halls Of congress upon ANY mis-
sion, and that prominen, eastern
tors and congressman declared they
never would agree to do anything for
Dakota go long rs the people Of the Ter
ritory sent such a NANCY mob of spoils-
men and gamblers toplsad their case.
There is another notable fact to which
the INTER-OcEAN respectfully calls the
attention of the Plaindealer and its
firing" cotemporaries-the Bismarck
Tribune and the Fargo Argus. viz: The
band of would-be patriots above describ-
ed are the identical scalawags who are
now secretly planning to disrupt any
movement that the people Of North Da-
kota may engage in ut this time to o
vince the United States congress that
there is Il decent majority III North Da
kota ready to establish the right of the
Territory, or any part of it, to ~recogni-
ton.
Here is prophecy: The next con.
%vention in Dakota (territory or state),
no matter what the purpose Of that con
%vention may be. will vindicate the polit-
ical honor of a people who have been
disgraced beyond measure by a reckless
organization of public plui,derers and
constituencies scoundrels.

The Washington Star Of a late date
says that the ruling Of Com missioner
Sparks. of the general land Office, nus.
pending the issue of patents in certain
sections in the west, which embraces
Dakota, has created no little excitement
in that region. Complaining letters from
settlers affected by the ruling are CONF
ing to senators. The complaint is that
the commissioners action makes the ill.,
nocent suffer with the guilty, and that it
imposes the came hardships and incol-
veniences upon those Who purchase their
homesteads honestly rs those who re-
sorted to dishonest methods. A strong
effort will probably be made to have the
ruling changed SO as to apply only to
persons known to have entered their
lands in an irregular manner.

DIVISION.

There is wisdom in the proposition
advanced that North Dakota, having rs
great claims to self-government rs South
Dakota, should take immediate steps to
ascertain the sentiment Of the people in
regard to the division of the Territory
on the 18th parallel. 1t is a well settled
fact that the only individuals who OPP
pose division are the old-time corrup.
tionists-the Ordway Bismarck gang and
the heirs to the political estate left by
the late lamented Nehemiah G.. 1t is
an equally well established fact that the
citizens of North Dakota who are in
favor Of division have long been united
against the band Of political pirates who
have controlled and disgraced the Terri
tory. A convention called for the pur.
pose Of ascertaining the sentiment Of
North Dakota on this question would
meet with the united opposition Of the
poker-playing demagogs along the
Northern Pacific road and their corrupt
allys and abject tools elsewhere in
the north. However. there can be ne
question in regard to the ultimate out
come II such a meeting, as the honest
masses and the coming political bone
and sinew Of North Dakota are in favor
q division and opposed TO the gang. Il
AcOnvention seems lmpracticable, the

THE INrER-OcEAN having called Bro.
sibley's attention to a stereotyped mis-
statement in reference to distances, he
remedies the matter in his last Cando
Tribune as follows:
From either point on Devils Lake,
take the stage line for Cando, distant
thirty miles from M;nnewaukan and
twenty-nine miles from Devils Lake.
Bro. sibley further discusses the ques.
ton in this wise:
In reciprocation Of this magnanimity
on our part, it is but just to request the
people If Devils Lake to rehabillate Their
Jismantled bridges and improve their
roads, so rs to harmonic as closely Ne
may be the actual distance with the
Trbune's ventursome statement Of the
same.

A CLOSE political student in Washing
ton thus analyses "ex-president" Samuel
]. Tilden's late letter addressed to John
G.. Carlisle: "Much space might have
been saved if the writer had said direct
ly what he said by implication. The d.
rect statement would have been: The
Democrats now have control Of the ex-
penditures; make liberal appropriations
for Portland, Portsmouth, New York
and San Francisco, and these being ju.
diciously expended Ivy Il Democratic
executive, the Democrats can carry
Maine, New HAMPSHIRE, New York and
California in the next election, and these
states, with the solid south, will elect a
Democratic president That is what the
letter means"

Dynamiters on Deck.

SAN Francisco, Dec. l6.-A most sem
sational and startling plan for the
wholesale assassination ofthe most prom.
inent men IN the city came to light last
night. Some time ago the public OBJ
tanned information of the existence of
an organization called the Socialistic
Revolutionary Association, composed Of
ultra socialists. Close watch was kept
on their movements and the police
finally succeeded in obtaining the min
utes of one Of their meetings, from which
it was discovered thatit was the intention
Of the association to nut out of the way
about twenty men, including w. I. Cole
man, Congressman w. W. Morrow, Gen.
W. H. l.. Barnes, Mayor B trtlett, U. S.
Judge Lorenzo Sawyer, Leland STAN
ford. Charles Croker, Gov. Stoneman,
the principal police officials and several
others. These names were placed on the
prospective list and put into the hands
Of the executive committee to carry out
the orders of the association. The com
mittee we're to devise the best means of
accomplishing the ends of this base plot
and they were thus engaged when word
was brought of its sudden termination
by the discovery ofthe association head
quarters by the police and the arrest OF
four men found therein named. Julius

tlestad and Oscar Esyers. In the room
were also founda complete laboratory for
the manufacture of Internal machines.
The men we're taken t the city prison,
where they boldly asserted that they
were dynamiters and proposed to get rid
of the citizens named, then raze China
town. The prisoners also belong to the
American branch of the anti.Cooley
league. No charge has been entered
against the prisoners, rs further develop
ments are expected.
