A letter by Dakotaian to Secretary
Bayard, republished in this issue, con-
TOMS interesting reading. It refers to
the division Of Dakota and the admis.
sion of the southern half. The points
made by tho writer are not now, but
they are put in manner 30 forclble
that they must have some effect even
upon the rhlnoceros hide OF u demo-
cratic administration. For many years
Dakota has been respectfully presenting
these arguments in behalf of justice
to wronged people, and daring theec
many years we have been denied our
rights by republicans and democrats
alike. Since the year 1861 Dakota has
been paying money tribute to the gen.
eral government. That tribute has in
creased, year by year, in proportions
and it now exceeds what is paid by
states half century old. During oil
these years we have had no representa-
tion and practically no voice in the con-
duct of our own affairs. Our wrongs
are greater than we're the wrongs
of the thirteen colonies when
they established the revolution, and
more grievous because they are inflicted
by so-called free government. OF which
We are an alleged part.
These burdens we have endured with
s patience which must astonish everv
reasoning man when he reflects serious
ly upon the situation. Our senses seem
to have become bIunted by a long con-
tlnued course of humiliation. We de-
grade ourselves when we meekly
submit and say there is
no power within US to improve our con-
dltion. One more effort is about to be
made to secure the oft prayed for boon
of self government. Another constitu.
ton will be formed and placed before
congress for ratification. 1t will proba.
bly, be rejected. AS q final result south
Dakota should take the matter into it's
own hands, organize q state government
and become state The methods by
which this may be accomplished have
so many times been explained that it is
not necessary to reproduce them.

On the Sd inst, at Bismarck, the gov
ernor, treasurer and auditor resolved
themselves into board for the examin-
alton of the expenditures of Alexander
Mckenzie, Dakota's commissioner at the
New Orleans exposition. The result of
the examination was satisfactory to the
examiners, who found that the S25, 900
donated by the territory had been
properly expended. There is de-
ficiency of between $4,000 and
$4,000 to be made good by the next leg
islature, Mr.. Mckenzie having expend-
ed that much more than the appropria-
tion. It is stated by the Bismarck
Tribune that Mr.. Mckenzie received no
pay for his services and that his assist.
ants expended m ore than their allowance
for personal expenses. In closing its
account Of this examination the Tribune
remarks:
The appropriation is more than ex.
hausted, and there are some accounts
yet to be settled, which were contract
ed under his authority, that Will have to
be settled by him. In the face OF all
this 1t is to be expected, however, that
there are those in this territory who
will indulge in hings and charges of cor
ruption, as they have already been doing
"a course, the injustice of whion is
equalled only by cowardice.
The Tribune errs when it says that
charges of corruption have been made.
It cannot produce line in support of
such an assertion. Numerous Dakota
papers have asked why the law requir.
ing an examination of the accounts Of
the commissioner within thirty days
after the close OF the exposition was not
complied with. 1t is now more than
sixty days since the exhibition closed its
doors. The people certainly have a
right to demand of their officials com.
pliance with the law.

New Branding Iron.

John Sweeney, who has been but
a short time in the ranching bust
ness, has already begun to apply
his inventive genious to various
branches of the craft. He has
patented a branding-iron which
works by electricity and so arranged
that he can ride in among a herd
Of his cattle Cor anybody's cattle for
that matter) and brand them as he
rides along. The brand is affixed
to the end Of a cord which he
swings about his head and throws.
The instant it touches a steer the
letters j. S. appear as if by magic
on the animals hide and the ami
NAL never knows what hits him.
He showed his invention to Mr..
Hickey the other day, and Hickey,
hearing that Sweeny was going up
the valley to try the new iron, tele-
graphed up to have all the calves
branded at once, and hang the ex-
pense.

Judge Beatty on his Muscle

In the Valensin divorce case in

following dialogue in the case is
from the Bee:
Judge Beatty hope the Court
will caution this gentleman against
using such Objectionable terms as
pettifogging.
Judge McFarland-I do caution
him, and hope counsel will quit
their squabbling and attend to the
case.
Judge Beatty will not submit
to it.
Johnson-Nell, you need not
submit.
Here Judge Beatty approached
within a few feet of Mr.. johnson
shook his fist menacingly and said:

A Demand for q Dozen Marriage
able Girls.
A correspondent OF the Eureka
Sentinel writing from Willow Greek
in this county, says: The canyons
are all lovely now in their Spring
CRIB of willows. wild hawthorne
and rose bushes, while the slopes
Of the hills are covered with a vel
vety green that looks almost too
nice for Nevada. All we want to
make Willow Greek paradise is
few more women. From beginning
to end the Creek is community of
bachelors, and the higher up you 60
the worse they get. They are not
all young, but all are good looking,
hearty fellows, who would make
the heart Of any woman happy. 1t
is sad to see the lonely little cabins
nestled among the willows, each
with its solitary occupant moving
gloomily about like so many moles.
There is room right here for
dozen manageable girls not only
room for them but demand for
them. We want neat little cottages
to take the place of the mud buts.
We want flower gardens to supplant
the pile Of old boots, oyster cans
and garbage. We want the yelp Of
the lonely coyote to be changed by
the prattle Of children's voices,
and all the other refining and civil
izing influences which surely fol-
lows the advent of the gentle sex.
Then will Willow Creek blossom as
the rose. Then will these lonely
bachelors, now so Grabbed and I'M
sociable, become good solid citizens
and bulwarks of society.
