the Dakota bill as it passed the senate"
Others insist that as each house is the judge
OF the qualification of its members, the senate
may seat two senators from Dakota without
regard to the house.
In view of the refusal of the mass of the
people to vote for division, the Campbell
Courier, representing the rapidly fliing
central section, says: Every possible ques-
ton that could make an issue, was crowded
into this election: the Democrats were voting
for minority representation, the prohibition
lists were putting themselves on record against
the liquor traffic. Townsites were scrambling
for TIL temporary seat of government, and
politicians were bowling loud and long for
place and prestige, but the people failed to
see where they could turn an honest penny.
They want statehood, but they want to belong
to the undivided Dakota, they want this grand
old territory to take the place she deserves
among the United States.
Judge Moody Of the Black Hills and Gen.
Fl. j. Campbell Of Yankton are being pressed
by their friends for United States senators
for South Dakota. The state movement is
largely their work, and they would seem to
have good claims on the Legislature. 1t Is
probably true that Campbell would not, with
his Louisiana record, be exactly the sort of
man to lobby with Democrats in congress,
but he would come as near getting seat in
the senate as his colleague. The Democrats
of Dakota will be substantially unit in OPP
posing the acceptance of the state machine
as concocted. A few will, perhaps, ask to
remain as a territory, others will prefer an
enabling act for south state, but the large
majority will urge an enabling act for the
entire territory to come in, as one state, or
north and south division.
S. 7. Church of Fargo is believed to be the
only man in Dakota who is an unequivocal
poet and composer of vocal music. He has
recently had a dozen or more pieces of his
muSic nnbi he'd with ballads of his cOmDOSi-
ton. He works life insurance as vocation
and it is said gives his music as inducements
to taking policies, meeting great success.
This is one Of the evidences of culture and
refinement.
bitter personal warfare is being carried
on between G. G. Williams, late land officer
at WATERFOWL and eX-congressman of Wiscon-
sin, and an interest led by the Scranton
Pioneer. The latter calls Williams 'politi-
cal corpse imported from Wisconsin," Will
Jams replies that he came to Dakota for ''pO-
litical rest" but a corpse is evidently entitled
to quietude.
The Douglas Tribune charges that the ring
in that county paid So each for votes, and
sent so much silver into the country that
there was great scarcity at the county seat
for ten days before the election, but it came
in plentifully afterwards. That is hardly be-
coming in virtuous virgin state.
A man who had hogs killed by the railroad
on the ground that he had not complied with
the Dakota statute requiring that the loser of
stock must first notify a justice, who will APP
point appraisers whose valuation must be de-
manded of the rail1 Dad company.
The Legislature of the state of Dakota will
convene at Huron Dec. IA, this year, accord
ing to the schedule. The constitution makes
the regular meeting in January, but it is de-
sired to get the senators to Washington as
soon as possible. b.
The Republican figures that Mitchell paid
out 81, 900 recently in two weeks for dramatic
performances, indicating that there are
healthy pockets there and the place is good
show town.
Huron is sasd to have expended $4,000 to
secure the capital and Pierre nearly as much
more. 1t was good advertising. 1t there had
been any real capital to secure no doubt
many other points would have entered the
| lists.
The report has come to the Fifth district
before Judge Church that he is arbitrary and
severe On attorneys, and they are in q guam
dairy whether to invest in bands and banquets
on his accession or not
The only explanation of the suicide of
George r. Bolton in Aurora county is that his
mind was unbalanced by financial disaster
and that his $4,000 life insurance would re-
lieve his family.
