Territorial Appointments.

There are several prominent Democrats
from the territories in the city, and they
are daily asking that changes be made in
some of the positions. as the persons hold
ing them are either political favorites or
incompetent. The judiciary, it is claimed,
Of all the territories needs recognizing.
The laws relating to the appointment Of
officers for the territories provide that
they shall hold office for four years and
until their respective successors are APP
pointed and qualified, unless sooner re-
moved by the President" Under this
clause it is claimed that the Presidents
authority to make removals whenever he
sees At cannot be called into question.
In some cases definite charges have been
made against territorial officials. The
President and members of his cabinet
have been advised Of nuerous instances in
which the incompetency Of territorial
officials was made manifest So far as the
administration has indicated any policy
with regard to the selection of officers for
the territories, IL has been that bona fde
residents will be given the preference over
outsiders The statute fixing the ten ure
of territorial offices at four years does
not apply to judicial appointments.

DAKOTA'S CAPITAL.
A Part or the Legislature Determined "a
Remove ll from BIsmArek.

BISMARCK, Jan. 17.-Mr. Kennedy OF Brown
county In tho Council. and Mr.. Picker OF
Faulk county. In the House. gave notice yos-
terday that to-day they would introduce bill
relocating the capital Of Dakota. 1t is under
stood that the bills will propose locating the
capital at Pierre.
Mr.. Williams OF Bismarck gave notice Of q
memorial asking Congress to divide Dakota.
The removal Of the capital TO Pierre is practi-
cally agreed upon among q majority of the
southern Dakota member OF the Legislature.
Some who have boon in tho caucuses from tho
beginning say that the bill is not yet drawn up.
and the point is not agreed upon. but that. 1t
will be tonight and that tho majority have de-
termined to remove the capital even II they
have to remove 1t to jamestown. or Mandan.
The organic act OF the Territory however
requires the concurrence OF tho Governor IN
the location Of the capital. and. Il tho removal
scheme has the majority that they claim, the
result will be governed by tho action Of the
Governor. The intention Of the most radical
is to relocate the capital and then adjourn to
that point.
