1t is asserted from Washington, under
date of October 18th, and confirmed in a
letter received in this city last night
from Governor Pierce, that Colonel
Benton, of Fargo, will be appointed
governor of Dakota in few daye. This
may happen and it may not. But if it
does, and there is evident danger, it will
be but another demonstration of the
power of the Northern Pacific corpora
ton to control the affairs OF Dakota
another strong argument in favor
OF the unity of the people of south Ds.
kota in behalf OF separate state. It
makes no difference which political
party Is in power-the controlling hand
of the Northern Pacific is in all our pub.
lie affairs. We can never elect q legis.
lature from which the Northern Pacific
will not secure a majority in behalf of
it's schemes, either at the polls or in the
legislative halls. 1t will dictate the
choice of our governors. our judges

territory or state and will control them

is an alarming one o. it involves Ca
reer OF corruption and extravaganza
which will drain the pockets Of the
tax payers. South Dakota's only safety
lies in separation and the man who ad.
vocates anv other idea, be he democrat
or republican, is aiding end abettIng
q long series of crimes against himself
and the rest of the people of south Da-
kota. Our people have raised their voices
in an almost unanimous chorus against
the corruption of the Ordway regime.
Now political faction coldly proposes
an indefinite continuation of an aggra-
waited form of Ordwayism. In this they
are not consistent with themselves.
They do not want to place themselves
forever under the iron heel of merci-
less corporation. They would rebel
against the charge. Yet they propose
doing it in behalf of mere political
sentiment which is as ephemeral as the
day and hour which suggests the sui.
cidal course.

nothing within any of the fundamental

The Pierre Signal, democratic news
paper, suggests the adoption of the
following resolutions by the democracy
OF south Dakota:
WHEREAS, The prime movers and
trainers of the Sioux Falls constitution
have declared it to be an non-partisan
move for the forming of constitution,
and the division of Dakota territory,
and the admission to statehood of the
south half thereof.
WHEREAS, 10 accordance with such
expressed declartions of the leading re-
pubiicans of south Dakota, We ask that
party to amend its call to county central
committees SO as to ask that said county
committees appoint special committees
to confer with like special commit
tees of the democratic county central
committees and jointly select delegates
to territorial non-partisan convention
to place in nomination officers for the
proposed state.
Rosol0ed, That we, the democratic
party OF south Dakota endorse such SEN
timents and declare in favor of division
OF the territory, and.
Resolued. That upon official notice
from the republican territorial commit
tee to the democratic territorial commit
tee that such request Is granted, and
said call 80 amended, then the president
and secretary of the territorial demo-
cratic committee is hereby empowered
to issue call in accordance with the
foregoing to the democratic county com.
mittees.
Resoloed, That upon the refusal of the
republican party to grant this request
the democrats of south Dakota take no
further action upon this question.
We have always been in favor
of extending to the democracy
al invitation to participate in. the con-
stitutional convention, or rather of
urging them to compete for the honors
OF election day, as they have the un-
doubted right to participate without any
invitation. They are as much interest
ed in progression from territorial con.
ditlon to statehood as the republican
party and are in no way bound to follow
the dictates of few who covet the Of
fees at the disposal of democratic ad-
ministration. If the democrats had in
the beginning manifested the interest
they feel in the statehood move
ment and had refused to permit few
Office seekers to dictate to them an un-
wise policy, there would have been
nothing of partisan nature ebout the
statehood movement. The Pierre Sig.
nal makes the further suggestion:
Gov. Pierce is being strongly endorsed.
So too, is Ziebach. 1t is said Cleveland
likes them both. Can't the democrats
see daylight through this? Lets put up
a state ticket with old Zieb. 70: gov.
ernor, and pronounce as democrats for
division, first, last and all the time. We
will be divided sure, and F. NJ. Ziehach
will be governor of the territory IF Da-
kota and Gil. Pierce governor of the
territory of PembiEa.
Here is chance for the democrats to
make very sensible move.

A deduction of S3,24l.33 has been
made from the amount due Dakota as
its quota for expenses IN taking the
i-decismial census. This amount is
claimed as due the general government

August 5, 1861, and is therefore the

THE TINES.
There is no ambiguity about the purpose
and position Of the silver men in Congress.
Il Is not merely the proposal to suspend
silver coinage that excites their hostility,
butt proposal to NEEDLE in any way with
the law which provides for forced con-
sumption of $4,000, 900 worth Of their fsy-
orite and favored product every year. Mr..
Hills remark in the Senate Saturday, that
he should not allow the Morrill, silver bill
10 pass without several days Of debate, was
no doubt intended as threat to force an
extra session Of Congress if the opponents
Of silver coinage persisted IN their efforts
10 bring about its suspension. An extra
session is for many reasons extremely I'M
desirable.
THE TRIBUNE.
If the Democrats who are pushing the
River and Harbor bill in the House, had
shown anything ike the same zeal IN be-
hall OF measures free from Job, the record
of that body would not be so barren. But
IL is only when there are private ends to
serve that this particular class Of members
take much interest in legislation. Appar-
entity they have some hope yet OF getting
through their favorite measure. IL they
succeed, the present Congress viii have the
pre- -eminence Of having appropriated
$4,000, 900 more for the creeks, rivers and
harbors Of the country than any Of Its prede-
cessors, and that win be about the only
claim that can be made for it. Certainly
nothing to be proud Of
THE WORLD.
