A PLAIN STATEMENT.

The Sioux Falls convention ad-
journed Friday evening after complet-
ing the work in hand in a manner
satisfactory to the friends of the move
ment. There is no use denying the
fact that the constitution adopted is a
model of its kind and that it will 90
far toward strengthening the cause of
division and admission. We feel that
In saying this we make no sacrifice of
principle, but merely give credit where
credit is due. The convention through
out was conducted with more unani-
nifty than was generally anticipated,
the radicals feeling disposed to sacrifice
something to the more conservative,
especially as the latter were largely the
majority. With Chief Justice Edgar
ton in the chair here was very little
danger of the convention overstepping
the bounds of propriety, and not even
the fiery Campbell could awaken a
belligerent feeling. The "Give-me-
liberty-or-give- me-death" element was
decidedly in the minority and cut
but an insignificant figure. The aver
age delegate evidently preferred living
in q territory to dying in a state.
AS before stated, the constitution
framed is a good document, and, with
the different forces at work, there is
no doubt it will be adopted by a vast
majority. The fact Of the location of
2 temporary seat of government being
left to the electors will bring out large
bodies of voters who would otherwise
remain Indifferent, the separate clauses
TO be neutrality-suspicious. and min
ority representation-will bring out
many more, and the aspirations of
those who want the Offices will have a
similar influence. Added to all this,
the republican state committee viii do
what 1t can to make the party take
hold of the movement, Hon. A. @.
Mellette, chairman, declaring himself
In open convention to be for division
hnd, admission first, last and all the
time. All things taken into consider
alton, then, there can be no good
reason why anyone should wish to dis
guise the truth and say that this con
stitution will not receive the support
OF 9 majority Of, the people entitled to-
vote upon, it. We regret that such
will be- the case, but are at the same
time candid enough to own the corn
and think we sacrifice no pr! nciple In
saying SO. Why, there is even in
Brown, county a strong element who
will favor the movement in the hope
that division OF the territory on the
forty sixth parallel will be brought
about. Such a division would add a
couple of tiers of townships to the
county on the north line and in time
bring about a division Of the county.
Tho ramifications Of tie subject are
legion, and some concerted plan Of
action will have to be- decided upon,
and that without loss Of time.

Assembly.

lating to railroads, provides that cit shall
be unlawful for any railroad company IN

able prejudice or disadvantage" The
Railroad Committee of the House has re-
ported this bill unfavorably.
Another bill to amend the statutes re-
lating to railroads proposes to add a sec
ton giving to railway corporations char
tered by the State the power to extend the
