SEN ATOR1AL REPRESENTATION.

The lack of interest in the constitutional
convention manifested by the people of
this territory living south of the forty
sixth parallel shows that they are not en-
thnsiastic for division and the admission
of South Dakota as a state. There seems
to be q growing desire among citizens of
both the northern and southern portions
of Dakota that the great territory shall
be admitted as whole and form the En-
pire State of the Northwest, The poll
ticians, who want two sets OF state Of
fees, OF course are clamoring for division (;
but the dear people, don't seem TO catch
their enthusiasm. The only reasous gwen
for division are the lack At present of di-
rect and speedy means of communication
and travel between the two sections, and
the fact that We would have two senators
less it admitted as one state. As several
lines of railroad from the center and
south are heading northward, it seems
settle the question of finter,communication
and, with railroads. there will be no better
basis for division arguments because of
'ipharmonious interests than would ap-
ply in the case of ILLINOIS. with its north
era corn-raisers and Egyptian fruit
growers, or to other states embracing a
large area from north to south.
Again. the people are not greatly cxcr'
cised over the politicians howl regarding
an unfair senatorial representation. Tic
senate, as at present constituted, is dc.
fusion and fraud. Many, If not ma.
jority, of its members, have secured their
seats by direct or indirect purchase, and
are in no sense the choice of tho citizens
of the states they represent. Our national
house of lords is ,aristocratic In tradition
and sentiment, and the manner Of it.
choosing is thoroughly un-American,
Like Great Britain's hereditary house. il
is losing the affection and veneration of
the masses The day IL not far distant
when. If the dual system Of national legis
lation be retained. the members Of both
branches of congress will be elected by 4
direct voto of the citizens. The cry re-
garding loss of senatorial membership
and influence in case of admission with.
out division is unworthy Of serious con
sideratiop. With score of representa-
tiyes coming Immediately from the
voters. and knowing we'll their needs and
desires. which few years would give u.
in the lower house, Dakota's Interests
would be we'll guarded. However if il
appear that not only the politicians, bu,
the people, of South Dakota really want
division, all North Dakota should say
"Ameng"

NOT THIS YEAR.

BY what we csn gather from the various
rumors, denials Of rumqts. and the like,
We are led to believe that there will be no
railroad dbuildinEs north from Ipswich, or
northwest from Ellendale this year. But
the signs unmistakably point to the push
ing OF one or more lines further north
west next season. The rapid settlement
Of the country between Bismarck and
Central Dakota, satisfactory proof that
it will raise good crops. and the necessity
Of reaching the Capital and the Upper
Missouri trade, together with the reason
able belief that Ispwich and Glendale are
not intended for permanent terminal
points. seem to indicate that another year
will sec one or more lines. pushing this
way. 4 glance attne map win show that
Emmons county lies in the path Of any
railway from Glendale or Ipswich to Bis,
marck, OF course "no feller can find out
through what portion Of the county the
pioneer road will run but line coming
within our borders will give good market
facilities and raise the value of real estate
throughout the whole county. Any one
possessing laud in Emmons, should hold
on to it, if he possibly can. Those who
have staid here and ''rustled," the Rec
ORD would like to see receive the reward
of that prosperity which must come with
the building of our first railroad.
